I saw a list of shortcodes mentioned a few pages back.

I’ve been able to get [bbp-forum-index] to work easily.

How do i get the [bbp-single-forum] shortcode to work?

I’ve tried [bbp-single-forum id="# of the forum"] without luck?

[Ryan]

I was looking for those too and found this:

from bbp-includes/bbp-shortcodes.php:

bbp-forum-index

bbp-single-forum, pass id attribute

bbp-topic-index

bbp-topic-form

bbp-single-topic, pass id attribute

bbp-topic-tags

bbp-topic-tag

bbp-reply-form

Also, you shouldn’t need to use your franken-theme anymore. bbPress comes with some pretty cool theme compatibility now. Make sure you *don’t* have

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

in your custom theme, and bbPress *should* still work and fill in the blanks. You’ll just need to style your CSS to taste.

As an example, http://testbp.org/discussion/ is using the standard bp-default BuddyPress theme, with no template files moved or shifted around. bbPress is just putting itself where it thinks it should be. I’m using some short-codes on the front page to display everything, and some custom CSS to make it match a little more nicely.

Right now probably the best example of the plugin in action is over at http://testbp.org/discussion. It’s using some of the shortcodes and minimal CSS tweaks to mimic the look of the forums here at bbpress.org.

@miruru – Thanks for the kind words. Right now shortcodes are pretty limited to major template functions, like complete single forums, single topics, etc… I’m open to more shortcodes, but we should assemble and break them into template parts or functions as needed (to make overriding and customizing them easier.)

[John James Jacoby]

A few last minute gifts are now in the bbPress plugin.

First, shortcodes. Now you can insert forums and topics into blog posts and pages. This is awesome because it will let you insert a river of forums or replies anywhere that the_content(); is used and shortcodes are supported.

Second, theme compatibility. This one is huge, could use some testing, and is potentially a game-changer. If you’re not using a theme that actively supports bbPress by setting add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );, bbPress is going to serve up its own default set of templates and styling from whatever is set as the theme compatibility layer (which defaults to bbp-twentyten.) There is a little more work to be done here, but so far it’s working a treat.

As a plugin developer, theme compatibility with new features is something I’ve wrestled with for a really long time, and recent changes in WordPress core have made this easier. For BuddyPress and now bbPress, this is years in the planning stages, and I’m really happy, excited, and proud that it’s in and loosely working.

Hello everyone!

I have released the RC 1 of WordPress to bbPress Converter Script. What it does is migrates all your users, converts categories to forums, articles to topics and comments to posts. Currently, it just doesn’t change image shortcodes to image urls and doesn’t preserve the forum hierarchy.

To use it, download it, put it on your server, edit the script and change the options to appropriate values before the Stop Editing Here part.

I am soon planning to release a bbPress standalone to plugin converter script if someone doesn’t beat me to it.

Download: http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-to-bbpress-converter/downloads/detail?name=w2bc.zip

Thanks!

i am making the plugin better and better now But tomorow (utc +1) morning i will try to create a fast first build with notes, on how too install.

What is needed before the first WYSIWYG TinyMCE release for bbpress:

-Somebody who can make it a plug-in, i have the pieces of codes which should be added to let it work.

-Adding a new button for the [video] tag whch i use. I want to release that too aftwards and include it to this version.

-Clean-up code, since it is untouched code from their website.

-Now uses no-jquery, but dont know if it is handy.

Hope some people want to help

I will make a demo soon, but you can register @ forum.fstube.org or fstube.org/forums .

Hi all,

I’m sure this has been covered a few times, but here goes.

Cookies obviously aren’t working, because I’m getting booted out of wp-admin when logged into bbpress and visa versa.

Have installed the bbPress integration plugin with settings in wp-admin like so:

bbPress URL: http://website.com/forum/

Your Plugins URL: http//website.com/forum/bb-admin/plugins.php

Wordpress type: WordPress

Added this code to the very bottom of wp-config.php

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

In bb-admin, I’ve got:

Wordpress address: http://website.com

Blog address: http://website.com

WordPress “auth” cookie salt: (auth_salt wasn’t present in the wp admin page, anyway I took the code from wp-config.php)

WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt: (as above)

WordPress “logged in” cookie salt: (as above)

Manually entered codes so the following match

AUTH_KEY / BB_AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY / BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY / BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

And that’s where I’m at. Can someone tell me what I’m missing?

I’m not going to worry about database sharing right now – is that advisable? Or is it highly recommended?

Also what should I have the wordpress roles set to for each one of these?

WordPress Administrator

WordPress Editor

WordPress Author

WordPress Contributor

WordPress Subscriber

Thanks for the help!

[xmaster76]

thank you! I’m a ** with php and I dont know in which file i need to add those codes.

I’m very excited with the launch of bbpress as plugin. I hope we can enjoy it soon in a alpha state in order to update it easily. For me only one matter is pending and is that:

“The goal is for the bbPress plugin to include these pages as WordPress page templates and short-codes, to allow for maximum flexibility in configuring your site. “

With that I will start to develop my own forum.

So, thanks and keep up the great work!

[John James Jacoby]

@rootside – Placeholders for the login and registration pages are in the current bbp-twentyten theme, but they don’t work yet. The goal is for the bbPress plugin to include these pages as WordPress page templates and short-codes, to allow for maximum flexibility in configuring your site.

I have completed the first tutorial, but when I log in on wordpress, I am still not logged in on the forums.

I tried the Deep Integration on the Theme Matching tutorial, but when I do so I get an error on line 15 of the bb-config file.

My bb-press and wordpress are in the same database and the locks are on the salts, auth codes, etc.

Any help?

Hi Michael,

Looking at your website http://scopedin.com/bbpress/ it seems you managed to resolve all the issues above.

Can you post the codes you finally used?

I am having exactly the same issue.

Thanks

[Wiishy]

Where? In the codes or when you install bbpress?

hi paul;

I had a problem on this plugin. the biggest problem is I get some codes at the top of the page. and this chance all the view. how I can solve it…

the codes starting with

getAllStatuses(); $renderer = get_active_status………

and ending with

DefaultStatusInterpreter(BUSY_THRESHOLD)); topic_icons_register_status_renderer(‘default’, new DefaultStatusRenderer()); } topic_icons_init(); ?>

how I solve it….

can you help me…

[John James Jacoby]

The plugin will have shortcodes and widgets to attempt to ease people in to integrating bbPress into existing themes, but because you can’t easily introduce completely new functionality into a theme that isn’t designed to handle it, there will be limitations to that method.

For the most mileage, you’re better off copying the files out of the bbp-twentyten theme and into your existing child theme and modifying the HTML and CSS to taste. (You are using a child theme, right? )

Topic and reply counts are next on my list of todo’s. They are the biggest source of confusion right now, justifiably so.

hi everybody!

I downloaded the pre-alpha bbPress plugin and it doesn’t work

I added some codes to bbpres-functions to make it work:

add_filter(‘init’,’flushRules’);

function flushRules(){

global $wp_rewrite;

$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();

}

and then I realized that the plugin is useless at this stage )))

Okay there are two different people in this conversation.

But no, you cannot change the post order in a topic, at least not correctly and consistently. bbpress internally uses post-position and hard codes the post order.

The system would have to be redesigned.

My user-wall already avoids this problem and allows posts in any order and any spinoff I might create from bbpress will also have this ability.

But for now, no bbpress can’t do that correctly.

If you want all links in your posts to be nofollow, you have to use post_text instead of post_author_link

Here you go

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: My own tweak for my forums

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/

Description: Fine tuning codes for my forum

Author: Your name

Author URI: http://www.myforum.com/

Version: 0.1

*/

add_filter(‘post_text’, ‘bb_rel_nofollow’);

?>

I guess that’s what most people want to do
