I think you could probably add it an allowed tags, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allowing-html#post-5279

To align the text, you’re going to need to allow a div or span I think, with a limited number of attributes.

There was some recent discussion too, with someone posting a lot of code, but I can’t find that reply right now.

hey kawauso, thanks for that code i will try it!

i was thinking to cloak almost all links inside a post or thread.

mostly links to download sites like megaupload or rapidshare, etc. but also links to anything inside a post.

the code from kawauso is exactly what i’m talking about.

cya and thanks!

The cleanest way of doing this hasn’t been mentioned. Instead of using echo commands, it’s a lot easier to just wrap HTML.

<?php if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

this

<?php elseif : ?>

not this

<?php endif; ?>

@olaf, muchos appreciado senor, but I’ve already written my own workaround. Just more of a suggestion based on situations I’ve ran into, something to consider as a future feature to make it easier for those who aren’t at home with PHP.

The problem with simply truncating such a thing is you could wind up with a front page description of something like “The following forum is a good place to…” or something of the sort. I’ve looked at a lot of other bbPress sites in the last couple of months, and they all seem to be fairly out of the box setups, so I’m not so sure this is really widely being sought out, just something that would be fairly easy to implement and might aid in future scalability of bbPress installations.

[gerikg]

part 1. This will work in BBpress only: <?php if ( !in_array( bb_get_location(), array( 'login-page', 'register-page' ) ) ) login_form(); ?> put that in the header.php I’m not sure how to do it in WP to make it work.

part 2. edit the logged-in.php in your bb theme

[gerikg]

me either..

try this..

<?php if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() )  echo "";

else

echo "PUT_YOUR_LINK_IN_HERE"; ?>

see if that works, hopefully someone who can write php will chime in.

I need to create a few urls from my forum root at /community like so:

/community/forums/ – shows just a simple list of all forums

/community/leaderboards/ -custom functionality

/community/achievements/ – more custom functionality

It’s easy enough to achieve this with a query string and if statements in front-page.php, but I’m trying to use .htaccess to achieve this like so:

RewriteRule ^forums/$ index.php?view=forums [L,QSA]

I was getting the bbpress 404 page until I drilled down into bb-admin/functions.bb-core.php and changed line 667 from

$issue_404 = true;

to

$issue_404 = false

It worked fine but I’m not comfortable changing the core code like that, as it’s indicitave that I’m doing something wrong – but what exactly? What should I change about my approach to get the page to serve correctly?

[amylmc]

I’m not code savvy. Can you please advise the specifics of what and where within the file to add it?

Thank you!

[Olaf Lederer]

Maybe you can shorten the desription using this custom php function?

if (!function_exists('substring_words')) {

function substring_words($str, $txt_len, $prefix = ' [...]') {

$words = explode(' ', $str);

$count = 0;

$new_str = '';

$abbr = '';

foreach ($words as $val) {

if ($count < $txt_len) {

$new_str .= $val.' ';

$count = $count + strlen($val);

}

}

$new_str = rtrim($new_str, ' ,.;:');

$new_str .= (strlen($str) > $txt_len) ? $prefix : '';

return $new_str;

}

}

Downgrading is not an option.

If I could use signatures here, that would be my new one.

I have it integrated with WPMU and it works fine in that respect – linking user/pass from WPMU and so on. However, when I login as admin I am able to create post,reply. When I login as a member I am not able to create a new topic and I see the words ‘REPLY’ but no option to

[gerikg]

Josef, take out in wp-config

/**bbpress integration **/

define('USER_COOKIE', 'wordpressuser');

define('PASS_COOKIE', 'wordpresspass');

define('COOKIEPATH', $base);

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/');

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.thisissite2.com'); // same as bbPress

and bb-config

$bb->wp_home = 'http://thisissite2.com/';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://thisissite2.com/';



// Integrating with mu

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->cookiedomain = '.thisissite2.com'; // leading . allows subdomain sharing

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser'; // WPMU doesn't hash cookies

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass'; // WPMU doesn't hash cookies

Use this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

If you’re using MU you will get 4 lines, cookiehash, cookie_domain, sitecookiepath, and cookiepath.

get the information from there and put it right AFTER this line in wp-config

* @package WordPress

*/

then paste only cookie_domain, sitecookiepath, and cookiepath in bb-config file. leave out cookiehash right after

* @package bbPress

*/

Then get new keys, use this link https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt it has 8 keys put it in both like you did before. Don’t forget the BB_ prefix in bb-config.

Clear your cache and cookies. Give it a try. if that doesn’t work then look in your BB dashboard and check your settings on wordpress integration. make sure if you left out “www” in wordpressd to leave it out on bbpress.

Hi,

With the help of a lot of posts about this topic on this forum I was able to come to a point where I have useres between Wp and BB integrated and I also started the deep integration of WP template and BB press on a test site here:

http://www.itouchaudio.com/forum

I added code to my bbpress config to be able to call wordpress functions. Then I copied over the Wp header.php from my wordpress theme into the bbpress theme folder (hope that was right). Now what you see on the above link is the result so far. still got quite a bit of problems I guess. The CSS of the forum seems to be not available so ….

I am wondering this: What do i do with the CSS files… At the moment I am loading the CSS file from wordpress theme but also the CSS file from the bb press theme…. Of course that doesn’t work 100% as you can see but what should i do? How can you have the CSS for both the Wp and BB theme integrated to work together?

BTW: In case this is important I am using the bbpress forum theme (the one that mimics the look of the bbpress forum, the one right here).

I know this goes a bit already into a CSS problem, not specifically BB press anymore but I was hoping some of you might be able to point me into the right direction looking at what I got so far.

Thanks for any help.

Many people want integration so that your users can log in to either bbPress or WordPress and not have to log in again when they switch from blog to forum, or forum to blog.

Others want ‘deep integration’ so they can use WordPress functions (like get_sidebar, get_footer and get_header) in their bbPress installation. Sometimes they want deep integration to make the two themes look similar or identical. Sometimes they want to be able to pull WordPress information into bbPress or vice-versa.

I integrated a forum with a blog one time but I normally have no use for it. It’s not worth the trouble for me, and I don’t need integration of users or functions.

[chrishajer]

Marius- please stick to one topic per post. I thought this was about widgets then I see this comment about removing the tags bar. If you want to remove the tags, just look in your template files for wherever the tag cloud is displayed, and remove that code. I don’t see a link to your forum so I can’t tell you exactly what to remove.

I think tags are normally attached to each topic, and also to the front page, and you would need to remove the places where tags can be added as well. Just find those sections in your template files, and delete them or comment them out. Make a copy of all the files first in case you make a mistake and need to revert back.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Okay, after much lucky guessing with regards to the user object handling, I have an ALPHA VERSION of a plugin to do this. There’s nothing to stop spambots, this is purely a proof of concept, I’ll try adding a captcha or something later if necessary. Email verification sounds like a royal pain though. Save the files exactly where I’ve said and as ever, make sure you leave no whitespace around the PHP tags. Apart from that, please test it but it’s your own risk if you run it on a production server.

Ok, I got your concept.

However, “Need A Project” can be successful for Indian Engineering Students and you should first try to show it off to your customers i.e. indian engineering students and not here as it seems to be of no use for the guys discussing around

I will be happy to help you with your project and I hope you can understand that being an Indian I can have an idea about what they people need.

Open your database, search table “wp_usermeta”, check meta_key “nicname” and change “meta_value” to your nicname for user admin in wordpress.

This was the problem in my case. I hope help you

Sorry for my english

[chrishajer]

The constants have different names in wp-config.php and bb-config.php. Just copy and paste the VALUES not the whole line.

bb-config.php:

define( 'BBDB_NAME', '123456789' );

define( 'BBDB_USER', '987654321' );

define( 'BBDB_PASSWORD', 'goodpassword' );

define( 'BBDB_HOST', 'localhost or something else' );

wp-config.php:

define('DB_NAME', '123456789');

define('DB_USER', '987654321');

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'goodpassword');

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost or something else');

For bbPress, the constants are name BBDB_ and for WordPress they’re just DB_. You can copy and paste the values, but make sure you don’t change the names from BBDB_ in your bb-config.php.

[chrishajer]

Find the class in style.css in your theme, and change the font there.

In the text box here, this takes care of it.

textarea#post_content {

font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size:2.0em;

color: green;

}

You can also just find .postform textarea in the style.css and add your rules there. Either way seemed to work fine.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]
