Yeah. Erm, what she said.

The neat thing is, you get lots of help and it all works in the end.

[michael3185]

Hiya feast. I like the look of your forum, though something’s not straight – can’t figure out what it is..!

I’m not a bbPress expert, but an idea occurred to me. As you might not find someone to do everything you want, why not offer a price for each individual piece of work? There’s a post about it at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/s-amp-s-for-your-help#post-37270

[michael3185]

Neat idea xtint – I like it. I’m not a bbPress hotshot by any means, and am also busy with my own forum set-up, but I’ll keep tabs on this one. There are some superb coders in the forum, and I’m sure you’ll get some pointers soon enough.

Looking for a bbPress expert who could help us tie our blog entries to

appear on the forums via Bbsync and fix a couple of bugs on the

forums.

http://www.feastoffools.net/community

••• Troubleshoot and optimise our forums. Right now Dreamhost is forcing us to upgrade our services because they claim our bbpress forums are taking too much of a server hit. Looking for someone to help us optimize our forums.

••• Upgrade to the latest version of Bbpress. Right now we’re at .9

••• Install BBsync

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/

new blog post, this post will be turned into a new topic in your

forums. Replies can be made to the topic. Comments made through the wp

comments form will also be shown as replies to the corresponding

thread. All comments/replies will show up automagically in wordpress,

too.

••• Code Buttons:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons/

Automatically adds an easy access button toolbar above the post

textarea to allow quick tags in BBcode. This is an enhanced

replacement for the Comment Quicktags plugin. No template editing

required.

Requires the BBcode-Lite plugin (or some other kind of BBcode support).

Some buttons will only appear if the tag is supported (ie. img, center)

••• Upload Image Files / Attachments

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/

This may not work with the version of bbpress and wordpress that are

compatible. Right now I’m waiting for bbpress to get to full 1.0 to

upgrade both to WordPress 2.7 and Bbpress 1.0, which my guess will be

in the next 6-8 months, but hopefully sooner.

••• Post Notification

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/

If you have a topic in your favorites and there will be a new post to

this topic it sends you an email. Simply upload and it does its job.

•••• Bb Socialize

Add social network links to form/user profiles.

Allows you to set and display your social media profiles in your

public forum profile. As administrator, you can select which sites

will be supported using simple management panel.

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsocialize/

– Show quoted text –

••• Search problematic

Also users are complaining about the search function not working well,

is there anyway to troubleshoot this or enhance the search inside the

forums?

frooyo I am certain not trying to discourage you from learning more about how bbPress works and trying to create plugins – however you should be able to find those hooks easily by reading the code. That’s how I learned everything I know about bbPress, I keep the windows search window open and pointed to the bbPress folder and I search for things. Many times the hooks are in the dozen php files in the bbPress root, sometimes you have to dig much deeper into the core files. If you can’t follow the code, you need to reconsider what you are attempting to do.

I have no idea what other plugins you’ve written, modified or ported from WordPress but this is not exactly and easy conversion to start with. You need to understand what can and can’t be cached and it’s very different from WordPress.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

@frooyo – Start here: http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/nav.html?index.html

It has all the functions and probably the hooks as well. That’s where I start when I want to figure out what’s up. You can view the code in the pages, and click on links to explain what each function etc is. I have no idea what functions etc you’ll need. I’d personally start by boning up on WP-Super-Cache, seeing what it hooks into on WP, and then, under the assumption the WP and BB has similar structures, look for the BB version of the WP hooks.

And then I’d get a beer.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

You can’t make an image size cap that will work in all browsers, but in theory you should be able to ‘crop’ the image via overflow. See http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_pos_overflow.asp and you’ll want to add it to .threadpost

In theory you could also make a css entry for (I think…) .threadpostimg {} along these lines: http://phydeaux3.blogspot.com/2006/01/max-width-and-faking-it-for-ie.html (which will xplain why IE sucks).

As for why you have that dead space… You have a left margin Trim that down.

#front-page #discussions {

margin-left: 170px;

width: 590px;

}

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Actually … kinda yeah.

This works on any page <?php if (is_topic() ) : ?><?php topic_tags(); ?><?php endif; // is_topic() ?> I have it in sidebar.php and it works fine. The reason it works is that it checks the page to see if it’s a topic and, if so, gets the tags.

I’m guessing you want something like this on your index page etc: Topic Name – Poster Name – Tags

You’ll need something like bb_get_topic_tags() which appears to take a $topic_id parameter.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

_ck_ – Totally valid point. And that’s what I’m doing now

PS: Trunk is totally sick on the admin side! ROCK!

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

@frooyo – Either get Donncha to explain the plugin (good luck, he’s busy) or download it for WP and study it. Honestly, I think you’re a little nuts, only because you’re picking possibly the most complicated plugin in the history of WP to convert as your first plugin

[deadlyhifi]

When logging in, or out, through WordPress (MU) the following error(s) occur.

Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array[...]

and

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/s/a/sandbox/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-integration/bbpress-integration.php:202)

Also reported on: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/282166

It works fine when login in through bbPress, and then accessing the admin in WPMU (user login integration shared)

[_ck_]

Ipstenu, what you have done is disable all the security entirely on the allow images plugin.

Kind of defeats the purpose of the plugin which could then be accomplished with just two lines.

add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'allow_images_allowed_tags' );

function allow_images_allowed_tags( $tags ) {$tags['img'] = array('src' => array(), 'title' => array(), 'alt' => array()); return $tags;}

MDA really needs to update that one, it’s becoming ancient now.

Hi guys,

FYI, I’ve updated the code for the BuddyPress bar in bbPress:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1152#post-18510

It uses bbPress’ header and footer hooks, instead of WordPress’.

The BP bar now also works in the bbPress admin area as well!

[johnhiler]

Frooyo – I think you are going to set a record for posting the same thing over and over!

[michael3185]

.threadpost {

font-size: 11.5pt;			/* Post content */

padding: 16px 10px;

margin-left: 140px;

}

[the_Wish]

Thanks for the suggestion, Ipstenu.

I think bbcode-lite has me covered for now, I dumped Allow Images altogether.

[r-a-y]

@Sam

Thanks for elaborating on this new class! Anxiously waiting for bbPress v1

@Burt

Off-topic, but… wow! Post-grad particle physics?

[andrewjensen]

My company created an online support application for a product a few years ago. We’re now working on installing a bbPress forum but would like to combine user logins so they can sign in to the support site and the forum at the same time.

I need to integrate with login, logout, register, and block. The bbPress code is a little overwhelming all at once, and I couldn’t find any documentation about integration with third-party software, so here I am. Can anyone get me started? Should I try to build this into a plugin, or a script that the support app runs on login? And which bbPress functions will I need to hook into or rewrite? Thanks a ton!

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Allow Images works if you change this:

remove_filter( 'pre_post', 'bb_encode_bad' );

add_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images_encode_bad', 9 );

add_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images', 52 );

add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'allow_images_allowed_tags' );

to this

// remove_filter( 'pre_post', 'encode_bad' );

// add_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images_encode_bad', 9 );

// add_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images', 52 );

add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'allow_images_allowed_tags' );

[citizenkeith]

Other than make another backup right now?

Already done.

I’m really concerned with all these MySQL errors I’m getting with MediaTemple. I’d love to find a solid, reliable host in the same price range, but I suppose you get what you pay for.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I was about to say “I use Allow Images without any problem”, but when I went to look at my files, I found I have an allow-images.php and an allow-images.orig … Clearly I found shenanigans somewhere down the road.

Change this:

remove_filter( 'pre_post', 'bb_encode_bad' );

add_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images_encode_bad', 9 );

add_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images', 52 );

add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'allow_images_allowed_tags' );

to this

// remove_filter( 'pre_post', 'encode_bad' );

// add_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images_encode_bad', 9 );

// add_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images', 52 );

add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'allow_images_allowed_tags' );

And Allow Images should work.

There is a major incompatibility between the memcached WP_Object_Cache class that is out there and BackPress. I’m about to add a newer class to BackPress itself that will replace the currently available one.

Once that class is added to BackPress it should fix these problems and a few others I’ve found. You’ll be able to use the new class by adding the following define to your config:

define( 'BB_OBJECT_CACHE_TYPE', 'memcached' );

This will be part of bbPress 1.0

[iang]

Thanks Sam…this is exactly what I needed to get me going after being stuck for days

For completeness, here is the first working version of my code:

<?php

require_once(‘../bb-load.php’);

bb_get_header();

?>

<script src=”../my-js/sorttable.js”></script>

<?php

$tbl_header=<<<EOD

</br>

<h3><center><font color=”#880000″>WBS80 Registered Users</font></center></h3>

<center><i><font size=”2″>(click on table header to sort</font>)</i></center>

</br>

<table class=”sortable” width=’100%’ border=’1′ cellpadding=’4′ cellspacing=’0′ align=’center’>

<tr>

<th>lname</th>

<th>fname</th>

<th>email</th>

<th>city</th>

<th>state/province</th>

<th>country</th>

</tr>

EOD;

$user_ids = $bbdb->get_col( “SELECT ID FROM $bbdb->users WHERE user_status = 0 ORDER BY id;”, 0 );

foreach ($user_ids as $key => $value) {

if ($value == 1) {

continue;

}

$users = bb_get_user( $value );

$lname = strtolower($users->last_name);

$fname = strtolower($users->first_name);

$email = strtolower($users->user_email);

$city = strtolower($users->city);

$state = strtolower($users->state);

$country = strtolower($users->country);

$tbl_info .=<<<EOD

<tr>

<td>$lname</td>

<td>$fname</td>

<td>$email</td>

<td>$city</td>

<td>$state</td>

<td>$country</td>

</tr>

EOD;

}

$tbl_footer = “</table>”;

$tbl =<<<TBL

$tbl_header

$tbl_info

$tbl_footer

TBL;

print $tbl;

?>

<p><h3 id=”tag”>AGE QUOD AGIS</h3></p>

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

Hi everyone…I read some posts about this problem, but wanted to find out if a different or new solution had come about. I’ve read about an issue with PHP version 5 and needing to add code to the .htaccess file. I’ve also read about adding “dummy” lines to the database file. I wondered if there are any other solutions that might be easier to understand for someone with no coding skills. I am trying to integrate WP and BBPress. My site is brand new so I can reinstall everything if I have to. I saw the really great screencast that someone did, too. That was really helpful except that it didn’t work.

The error I get says “Forum could not be created”.

[allenweiss]

thanks..just did that and get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_head() in /home/alumnide/public_html/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/header.php on line 33

am I still missing some code?
