Maybe try posting to the WordPress forums?

Unless there’s a connection to the bbPress install that I’m missing…

[johnhiler]

What is listed under WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL)?

Also – what code in your WordPress template are you using to generate those comment links?

[daniellejosh]

I flawlessly installed bbPress yesterday to have a forum to go along with my website: http://iphonecustoms.com. However, on all my posts and pages, I have a “Leave a comment” option towards the end, and it either links to my forum.. or nothing at all!! Can someone help? I just would like my comments option back.

[johnhiler]

You posted once before about modifying your login:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-loginsign-in-page

Is it possible something was changed with your login code or templates?

[mlantz]

Ahh… Thank you! I just missed that on the blog. I will look forward to beautification in the final release, then.

From the blog

The admin area is currently lacking a lot of design nuance in the content areas, but all the forms and controls are at least functional. Let’s call this the “excuse the mess” release candidate.

It’s not you, it’s RC.

[johnhiler]

There’s rumors of a wiki-based codex coming up after bbPress 1.0 goes gold! Hopefully that should help with documentation…

This tag plugin looks somewhat similar to what you mentioned:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/list-tags/

But there are reports of bugs with it. I’m guessing the plugin only works in .8 and .9 versions – tags completely changed in version 1.0, so that may be the issue. Still, might be worth studying the code for inspiration!

Hello all,

I’m seeing the same problem as reported in this older thread where after unzipping the bbPress archive on my server and hitting the default page, the “let’s get started” link doesn’t do anything. Per recommendation I’ve gathered PHP info from my server. With the minimal installation instructions, I don’t even know where to begin troubleshooting, so any assistance would be much appreciated.

Just wanted to follow up with this. I tried the integration again from scratch with the same config as above, using WordPress 2.8 and bbPress 1.0-rc-3, but with the 1.0-rc-3 version of the bbPress Integration plugin.

The integration worked flawlessly, no issues with the code that bbPress Integration outputted, I can log in and out of both bbPress and wordPress, and access both admin panels.

Thanks for all of your hard work Sam, bbPress 1.0 is looking great!

[johnhiler]

This is definitely related to the phpbb3 to bbPress conversion. The AUTO_INCREMENT gets set really high by the conversion script, to avoid userID conflicts.

Previous users have reported fixes here – hope one of these fixes work!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-id-999999999#post-5521

Please let us know how it goes.

[johnhiler]

Hey guys – there are different levels of integration between WordPress and bbPress (these definitions are from Sam):

* User database integration – Sharing of user data tables with WordPress

* Cookie integration – Sharing of login cookies with WordPress

* Deep integration – Including the WordPress codebase (PHP) inside bbPress to allow use of WordPress functions inside bbPress

bbPress supports all of these (although cookie integration between some versions wasn’t supported until user plugins were created fairly recently).

I think what was asked was reverse deep integration, so to speak? Where instead of normal deep integration (allowing you to call WordPress from inside of bbPress), it would work the other way around (where you could call bbPress from inside of WordPress).

I think that’s where Sam is drawing the line re: integration, although I could be misunderstanding. He’s definitely said recently that he’s supporting normal deep integration (allowing users to call WordPress functions from inside of bbPress), so all deep integration isn’t off the table. My guess would be that it’s easier for Sam to program bbPress to support WordPress… than to demand that WordPress engineers program in full deep integration for bbPress.

Incidentally, I pull bbPress discussions onto my WordPress using the Latest Discussion plugins and it works great!

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-latest-discussion-for-wp/

[berberama]

If you’re not coding bbPress to work nicely with WordPress, then it’s not going to become a well known and widely used platform. The statement “…I won’t be writing support for this into bbPress at all, even if someone patches it to work. I gotta draw the line on integration somewhere…” come across as hostile and petty – Potentially giving bbPress bad PR.

I’ve had nothing but hell trying to get this to work properly and when talking to PHP coders, every single one of them has told me not to use it (these are guys that code for a living). They’ve given me alternatives, when I asked why, they said there’s not a lot of support (that there should be more) and the fact that it does not play well with WordPress (when they suggest, given the origins of bbPress, it should).

This is unfortunate; and sad.

[lstelie]

God bless Ipstenu !!

Thanks to your bit of code I ended in integrating wp and bbpress something I failed from day 1..

Thanks a lot !!!

this sounds great thanks John.

I am installing on a new domain, so i will be installing latest releases.

I have integrated WP + BBPress in past but for same domain.

any more suggestions ?

[johnhiler]

Here is some code I use in my header.php, to add a class to an li if you’re inside a particular forum:

<li <?php if ( $forum->forum_id == 170) {echo 'class="x-chosen"';}?>><a href="/board/announcements">announcements</a>

Maybe something similar would work for you? Good luck!

[raheelsayeed]

Hi all,

I’m writing a plugin where all it does is grabs data from Database and shows it in a topic. when topic is clicked ofcourse

I want this plugin to work only if say the forum id is 1,2,3 and this plugin shouldnt show up in other forums or forum catagories. is there any function for this?

similarly, in Add New form, i want to add some textboxes that should only show up if inside a specific forum

any ideas are appreciated.

im using 1.0 rc-3

[esemar]

Does RC3 include any utilities to import data from atom/rss xml documents? Eagerly awaiting such a feature so I can start using it on learnjazzpiano.com

[leggo-my-eggo]

Well, OK, this is pretty strange. I’ve added require_once(ABSPATH . 'forums/bb-load.php'); to the bottom of my wp-config.php file, and it all seems to work fine. Except, my admin interface for WordPress has lost all its colors and images. I have run a diff on the two resulting wp-admin interface’s code, and it looks like the act of loading bbPress is taking over the loading of styles at the top of the WordPress admin interface, which doesn’t really make much sense to me. Anybody understand what’s going on here? I’m using bbPress 1.0-rc-3 and WordPress 2.8.

[Eisregen1986]

Hello People,

I would anticipate in advance for my bad English sorry.

I have bbPresss 0.9.0.5 and want to upgrade to 1.0-rc-3 make.

I have read the upgrading instructions.

If I call the bb-admin/upgrade.php, the following error message appears:

ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

If I have a new installation of bbPress 0.9.0.5 and then upgrade it works, just not at the present, what can this be?

[Florian]

Weird… I have one user where only the login name is used, but another one where the display name is shown. I’ll come back to that if I find out what the difference between those two is.

But in the meantime, another problem arose: How do I access the login name when the display name is shown? I need the login name to build the link to the user’s buddypress profile page. Is there a template tag which (always) returns the login name?

[timskii]

First attempt at providing Wowhead item links. Please post any bugs or weirdness. This requires BBPress 1.0 RC 3+ and PHP 5+ . It has no cache, so may not be suited to ultra-high volume forums.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Simple Wowhead Item Links

Plugin Description: Adds item sudo-html to create links to Wowhead.

Author: Tim Howgego

Author URI: http://timhowgego.com/

Version: 0.1.rc

*/



/*

Requirements:



* PHP 5 or above.

* BBPress 1.0 RC3 or above.



Install:



* Copy the file to the "my-plugins" directory.

* Active the plugin within the Admin interface.



Customising:



* Default language is English. For other languages, edit $lang (in bb_wowhead_item_search) below.

* Default will color items which are uncommon or rarer. To change this edit $commonest_color (in bb_wowhead_item_search) below.



Using:



* Users must enter the following "sudo-HTML" code within their posts: <item>Name</item> - where name is the correct name of the item to be linked to.

* Wowhead is queried each time a new link is posted. Once the link is created, it is stored as a complete link within the post. A cache should not be required given the amount of traffic on most forums.

* If Wowhead is unavailable (often due to maintenance), or some other error occurs, the link created will simply point to a Wowhead search for the item.



Thanks Drexle for some ideas.

Thank you for the link. It looks interesting. But at the moment it seems to be full @ browserlab and they´re temporarly not accepting new users I´ll will try it once again later.

@chrishajer: Thank you, that works fine!

@johnhiler: You´re right. If i set the value to -1 i´m always able to edit the posts. But this is something i doesn´t really need.

Okay, then there´s only one point left, the edit thing… I will have a look at the plugin and will see how it works.

Although… I got one more point to figure out. It´s a css thing. At the moment this is my testforum: http://www.test.be-infected.de/forum/topic/test-der-bbcode-buttons

If you take a look at the 2 post with the smilies in it, you can see that there´s a lot of space in this postings. I tried several things to strip this, but can´t find a solution. I think it´s the css class .threadpost that i have to edit. I know it sounds strange, but in this free space the bbsignatures plugin was showing the users signatures before. Could this relate to it?

Any help is welcome
