Yeah, you’re gonna have to wait for WP to start using backpress as well for that to work
That kind of integration works fairly well with BuddyPress (due in part to how BuddyPress wraps around BOTH WP and bb) but for just WPMU or WP and BB? Not so much.
@Ipstenu – It’s not the glitter and unicorns that make a site hard to convert, but best practices
If you designed your website with good XHTML etc, it’s a simple matter (a weekend at most) to convert it to WordPress or bbPress or BuddyPress.That was just my attempt at humor.
We where able to integrate BB into our WP theme is about 30min. Although restyling everything is still ongoing, but that’s not a issue with BB (although more themes would be great). With the WP header/footer there is some issues with BB plugins that require javascript, but we are working around that.
The issue I have with “integration” is that WP should be able to call info BB and vice versa. That’s it.
The other issue I have is that v1.0 more or less killed all the developments that came before it.
I think BB is great and I wouldn’t be spending my time here if I didn’t. After solving a major issue with converting our old phpbb forum we have decided to push forward with bbPress.
So now I’m off to figure out how to call up Bavatars in the post.php file. If I have time after that I will try and get that BB welcome/login message in the header working.
I’m trying to have a central signon at my site, where users must sign onto WP first and access bbPress via a page link. The logic you’ve provided looks like it can be incorporated to include the bbPress login page, is this correct?
I think kind of — I’m not 100% sure what you’re describing so let me try a different way.
If you force all registration to go through WPMU, then you can use the in-line login form, native to bbPress, to permit users to log in via bbPress, and they will still be logged in on WPMU. That’s the basic plus of integration
Login on WPMU, you’re in on bbPress, and vice versa.In my template, make my login-form.php file look like this:
<form class="login" method="post" action="<?php bb_uri('bb-login.php', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_FORM_ACTION + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_USER_FORMS); ?>">
<p>
<label><input name="user_login" type="text" id="quick_user_login" size="20" maxlength="40" value="<?php if (!is_bool($user_login)) echo $user_login; ?>" tabindex="1" /> <?php _e('User Name'); ?></label>
<br /><label><input name="password" type="password" id="quick_password" size="20" maxlength="40" tabindex="2" /> <?php _e('Password'); ?></label>
<br /><input name="re" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $re; ?>" /> <?php wp_referer_field(); ?> <input type="submit" name="Submit" class="submit" value="<?php echo attribute_escape( __('Log In') ); ?>" tabindex="4" /> <label><input name="remember" type="checkbox" id="quick_remember" value="1" tabindex="3"<?php echo $remember_checked; ?> /><?php _e('Remember me'); ?></label>
<br /><a href="http://yourdomain.com/wordpressmu/wp-register.php">Register</a> | <a href="http://yourdomain.com/wordpressmu/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Forgot password?</a><br />
</p>
</form>What this does is, if someone clicks on the registration or forgot password links, is take them right to the WP side. Now from there, it’ll log them back in to the WP main page, IIRC, but the login form itself, being inline, will keep the user on the same page as they logged in from, so they don’t appear to go anywhere.
Does that make sense?
Are there any other backdoors or pages users can directly access from the outside that may need redirection?
Since the bbAdmin pages are locked to admins, I don’t think you need to worry about that.
Different topic. We’re talking abotu closing registrations here
Make a new topic for your request, por favor!(And chris – I was on topic
He was asking why an .htaccess is needed in general, and I was explaining and telling him he could make one to alleviate his closed registration issh. It was all the same discussion and topical! )
@DennisH – It’s not the glitter and unicorns that make a site hard to convert, but best practices
If you designed your website with good XHTML etc, it’s a simple matter (a weekend at most) to convert it to WordPress or bbPress or BuddyPress.And I do get what you mean about Gravatars. I rather like them because it gives people a sense of conformity in that Ipstenu everywhere has this icon and I am, thus, recognizable. Internet anonymity wishes aside, it grants me a level of credibility. I am me as you are we as I clearly need more coffee!
It looks hot!
maybe at least a month – as target release?
I was planning on moving from phpbb3 to bbPress 1.0
but maybe it will be better to wait now …
Love it. Similar but different. I also love the icons, as it is “bee bee Press” after all. Plus, if we’re going to over think this, Bee’s and hives represent a colony, and forums are basically the same thing; a colony of users.
Or, maybe you guys just love sweet, sweet honey… Just a bunch of Pooh Bear’s surrounded by empty glass jars hoping Matt will send another shipment this month to keep you motivated.
DennisH, it sounds to me like you want BuddyPress + bbPress + WordPress. If you’re not using all three, then you’re really not going to get what you want.
Also, if phpBB just has too MANY features, you could trim some of phpBB’s code out, no different than you can add code to any *Press product.
It also is a relatively new concept (Within 1 year) of having all of these platforms working in unison together. BuddyPress has taken giant strides towards providing a personality to the users on your site, to give your bbPress users profiles and information beyond the basics.
Regarding the “promise” of integration, it’s possible to do within a few minutes, with integrated logins, profile info, etc… The major difference is that you can’t expect it to look like a typical forum is going to look, at least not at its current stage of development.
When you consider that phpBB is 3.0.5, and it stayed in the 2.0 branch for over 7 years, apply that logic to bbPress that JUST turned 1.0 a month ago… There’s still LOTS that can be done, but for now bbPress is a stable and powerful product that is a developers dream platform for forum software to start with. You can mold and shape it to handle just about any task (wait until you see what BuddyPress is going to do with it
)Long story short, I’m sorry you’re disappointed at the moment, but I’m willing to bet you won’t always be. If you need something besides bbPress right now, no one’s feelings are hurt, but my suggestion to you would be to make friendly with it now so you can be better prepared to use it later, when it better meets your expectations.
@Ipstenu, I knew there had to be a reason no one else had suggested it.
At this point I’ll take 1 out of 3.
I’m not talking about plugins. I’m talking about having to hack almost every bbpress php file to include the wp header and footer or having to hack the config files.
The phpbb solution at the time (a year ago)was a HUGE F@#*ING HACK, but now that phpbb has a automod (or whatever they are calling it) it’s basically as easy as a plugin.
I’m not looking for the login form (I’m building a lightbox for that), I’m talking about:
“Welcome, _ck_ ! View your profile (Admin | Log Out) 5 New Private Messages”
As far as Avatars I’m using the wp-united on the live site (phpbb avatars). For BB I have not found a solution yet that will work or integrate into both BB and WP.
Topic: problem with some queries
Hi, I’ve written a custom plugin to convert my old bbcode syntax myurl to myurl>.
It worked for a large amount of posts but I still get a lot (also) of errors.
Here’s a query error :
UPDATE bb_posts SET post_text ='Bon c'est sur que si on compare :rolleyes:nn
nn
' WHERE post_id = 114958As you see, the url tags have not been updated neither.
My function :
function replace_bbcode_urls() {
global $bbdb;
$regex=”#[url ?
[^[]*) ?] ?([^]]*) ?[/url]#”; $sql = “SELECT post_id, post_text FROM bb_posts WHERE post_text LIKE ‘%[url=%'”;
$results = $bbdb->get_results($sql);
foreach($results as $row){
$new_monchamp = preg_replace($regex, “\2“, $row->post_text);
$sql2 = sprintf(“UPDATE bb_posts SET post_text =’%s’ WHERE post_id = “.$row->post_id, mysql_real_escape_string($new_monchamp));
if ($bbdb->query( $bbdb->prepare($sql2) )) {
//echo $row->post_id.”
“;}else {
//echo “error processing post “.$row->post_id.”
“;echo $sql2.”
“;exit;
}
}
}
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks !
I just realized today if you are using a bunch of plugins that have their options stored in the bbpress meta, your query count has jumped on every page in bbPress 1.0.x
Apparently 1.0 now has a reserved list of option names that are pre-loaded, instead of *all* of them like 0.9 could. Plugins have to add their desired names to the pre-caching option, which of course 100% of all pre-exisiting plugings are not aware of, so they all cause an extra query in 1.0
This isn’t a magic bullet by any means but you can at least fix this behavior. There isn’t any flag you can turn on to cache all (that would be far too easy) but you can fool the routine by loading all the options before it gets around to it.
Simply make the below into a mini-plugin, or right click here
and save as
_load-options.phpin yourmy-plugins/directoryI strongly suggest you save it with a leading underscore so it auto-loads.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Load Options
*/
global $bbdb;
$results = $bbdb->get_results( "SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM $bbdb->meta WHERE object_type = 'bb_option' ");
foreach ( $results as $options ) {
wp_cache_delete( $options->meta_key, 'bb_option_not_set' );
wp_cache_set( $options->meta_key, maybe_unserialize( $options->meta_value ), 'bb_option' );
}
?>A lot of those features do exist… although you’re not going to have much luck getting all those features/plugins to work on bbPress 1.0. bbPress 1.0 is a very new release, and most of the plugins won’t be upgraded until later this year.
That said, I get the feeling that you would like WordPress and bbPress to interoperate more? I don’t just mean integrated signins – some of your points suggest that plugins would ideally work on both systems interchangably… I don’t think that’s on their product map. Even having more interoperability between the two themes systems seems pretty low on the bbPress priority list.
It’s all good to have concerns about bbPress! I have many concerns myself.
I’m staying on bbPress for now, because it is the only option for a lightweight forum with a plugin model. I’m very concerned about the 1.0 path though, and am starting to think through whether or not I want to stay on the bbPress platform in the long term. So I especially appreciate hearing your concerns.
@gardenfl: My main complaint would be that sifting through this site for solutions it is sometimes difficult to figure out version compatibility.
Yes, searching for solutions is really frustrating. Like most people trying to decide if they should jump in I looked trough the plugins and other mods only to find out later many/most are out of date. Installing a older version of BB isn’t a real option when you want a forward looking cms. This is of course no ones fault (at least not the plugin developers), I am very thankful for what is there.
@chrishajer: bbPress is not right for some people, but it’s just fine for a lot of others.
But how do we define “a lot of others?” I think there are huge numbers of users out there looking for a truly integrated solution. I don’t see many people using bbPress as a stand alone community forum. There are other forum platforms that fulfill that need. I believe most of the adapters of BB will be users that want to integrate a forum into their current site. BB may be good for someone that just wants a support forum (or something along those lines), but the true market is site owners that want to add more community features…. and that means true integration.
@johnhiler: I agree that bbPress lacks many social features… but that’s not really the scope of the project, which is more focused on forums? If there’s a specific feature you’d like to see, let us know in the forums!
A forum is a “social feature.” Now that does mean it has to be Facebook, but it should have some basic features.
These are some of the features I would love to see some day (I know some can be done with plugins and hacks, but I would like to see more “stable” solutions):
bbPress “login box” in WP (with new private messages and profile link).
Integrated bbPress in a WP page that strips out the bbPress header and footer (theme integration)
Integrated Avatars
Blog Comments listed in bbPress profile
Current forum topics/replies in WP
Integrated bbcode in WP comments
Facebook Connect, Twitter, OpenID etc.
I’m sure I can think of more, but those are the ones that come to mind.
Here is a good list of features I would like to see:

The reason i decided to post this is to help voice concerns that may one day lead to a better BB and that will in turn lead to more developers and users. Not yet being knowledgeable enough to create these add-ons myself my voice is all I can currently contribute. Although, I soon hope to share how I overcame some of these issues and provide some inspiration and tips for others.
