Here’s a mini-plugin I whipped up to fix the behavior of bbPress where a sticky that is made to “stick to front” (aka “super-stickies”) gets removed from its original forum.
Instead, now it will show as a regular sticky in its original forum but also as a super sticky on the front page.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Super Stickies Fix
.................................................................................................................
*/
function super_stickies_fix($where){return str_replace("topic_sticky = '1'","topic_sticky > 0",$where);}
add_filter('get_sticky_topics_where','super_stickies_fix');
?>Tested in bbPress 0.9, in theory it should work fine also in bbPress 1.x
You can remove the line of all dots, it’s just there to fix the wrap problem for code on bbpress.org 2.0
If you want I’ll allow you to test it on my site
1. I can’t do it myself.
2. Its good for testing, correct?
Topic: Linking to WordPress
I installed a fresh copy of bbpress and during the installation process I was asked if I wanted to connect it to a wordpress database.
Now, when I register a new account on wordpress, it appears as a new account on bbpress.
But here is the rub. I have added a plug in on the wordpress side on the registration menu. You have to click to agree to some policy. Since this plugin does not exist on the bbpress side, if I register a new account on the bbpress side, and try to use it to log in on the Wordperss side, I get an error that says “you do not have permission to ….”
How do I make the registration I have formed on the WordPress side match the Registraion process on the BBPress side. Although the database is shared according to my tests and how I installed the latest versioin of BBPRess, the registration and login pages are not the samel
Here is the registration on the wordpress side showing my custom plugin

Here is the registration on the bbpress side.

Maybe there is a way to make the bbpress such that when they click on the login link it directs the user to the login for the wordpress side (and also if they click on the registration link on the bbpress it goes to the registration on the wordpress side). How would I go about changing that? Is it html code or php code? The page http://www.arguemax.com/bbpress-1.0,2-2/bbpress/ has the login and register links the link for login goes to http://www.arguemax.com/bbpress-1.0,2-2/bbpress/bb-login.php and the link for Register goes to http://www.arguemax.com/bbpress-1.0,2-2/bbpress/register.php . How do I change that?
And the link to the forums in the menu bar suffers from the old breadcrumbs bug (yay for testing). It tries to link to “https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forums/” which redirects to “https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/” which obviously isn’t real.
The problem is that the link for the forums is
<li><a class="current" href="forums/">Forums</a></li>It should be
<li><a class="current" href="/forums">Forums</a></li>instead
@bingster loot:
I will try to address that shortly. I don’t have a Mac with which to test, but I’ve been tidying up the CSS in my WordPress theme from which I ported the bbPress theme. So, once I also propagate those changes to the bbPress theme, hopefully it will work better for you.
It took way too long to find the necessary instructions on how to install on Godaddy. The instructions listed with the download of this software was not sufficient. When people asked questions, it had an issue resolved there, one resolved here, but nothing complete. Finally I got it to run so I thought I would share a complete instruction manual on how to do this.
First, I would like to point out that I installed it on their free hosting service if you buy a domain name through them. However you can install it on their paid hosting service the same way I am pretty sure. In fact, I installed it on their free service for now while I test things and will install it on their paid hosting service in a bit so I can edit this if it turns out to be different.
1) download BBPress. Unzip it.
2) Log in to Godaddy services. Click on the Home tab at the top left -> the sub-tab hosting -> then click on hosting under the “my products section” on the left. If you have already bought hosting or had the free version set up, you should see a list of your domain names that are set up for hosting.
3) Click on manage account next to the domain name you wish to install this bad boy on.
4) The first thing you need to do is create a database. So click on databases at the top and then mysql.
5) The click on create database on the upper center right.
6) Type in a description name (maybe forum or blah or whatever)
7) Type in the same thing in mysql database user name box
Type in a password that you can remember and then retype it in in the next box. Skip the last three boxes and click ok.9) It will take forever and a day for the database to set up. Not really but maybe 20 minutes. In the meantime, lets go ahead and load the files onto your godaddy server. So click on the content tab at the top next to the databases tab you just selected and then click on FTP client.
10) Scroll down a bit and you will see two side by side panels. On the left is your desktop. On the right is the files on your domain name. Even if you just set up the hosting service, there will be files already on there.
11) Now you have two options. Do you want to install it at http://www.yourdomain.com/bbpress or do you want to install it directly on your main domain name http://www.yourdomain.com? If you want it directly on your domain name, then you need to transfer all the files within the downloaded folder from BBPress and not the actual folder with all the files in it. So in the left panel, you will navigate to your BBPress folder and double click it to view the contents. When you see all the files within that folder, hold the control key down and select all the files and folders within that folder. Then hit the little arrow in the center that points to the right which should move those files to the right panel and onto your domain name. If you wanted it at the http://www.yourdomain.com/bbpress, then just upload the actual folder with all the files in it versus opening up that folder and moving each file over individually. Also, you can rename the folder BBPress to something different and it will give it a different extension on your domain. For example if you renamed it Forums and loaded the entire folder onto the server, then you would have http://www.yourdomain.com/Forums.
12) Now we need to change some information in there. But first we need some information from the database you set up early. Probably it is still not set up yet and is pending setup. To check, click on databases tab at the top and then mysql. It will be listed as “setup” or “pending setup” under the status column. If it is pending setup, then grab some popcorn. Once it is ready, click on the pencil icon under the action column and you will then see the host name. It will likely start with yourdomain and then some numbers and dots and other stuff. Copy it.
13) Now click the home tab at the top.
14) Then click on the big button called “your files” under the tabs at the top.
15) Now locate the file that is called bb-config-sample.php. Check the box next to it. Then click edit at the top. A new window should pop up.
16) Scroll down and change BBDB NAME to the name you gave your database earlier. Change BBDB user to the same thing. Change mysql password to the password you set up earlier (if you used caps, you must use it here too). Then change mysql hostname (which is probably currently listed as local host) to the name you copied just a bit ago from the database pencil menu that had numbers and dots and other stuff. Then hit the save button at the top left.
17) Now this step, I forgot to do and it still works. I was just building a test site anyways so I will fix it when I attempt to load it to my real site. But you need to change the name of the file you were just editing. You should still have bb-config-sample.php still checked. Up at the top, click rename. Rename the file to bb-config.php. Essentially you are just dropping the -sample part.
18) Now navigate to your domain name where you installed the BBPress.
19) It will prompt you with the installation (or should). It will tell you that it recognizes that it is the first time and needs to be installed and then ask you to proceed. You will then enter all your information including database name, mysql user name (which was the same as the database name), and the password (with the necessary caps if you used them). But ONE PART THAT IS HIDDEN AND NEEDS to be adjusted is in the advanced section. So click the little check box. Now paste that host name you copied earlier with numbers and dots and other stuff. Now proceed onwards.
One thing I noticed is that I would proceed through the installation process at that last part and it would revert to the beginning again. I think this was because I was hosting it on Godaddy’s free server and they put ads at the top which was causing it to loop. After several times (probably 5) of clicking the buttons over and over again and retyping the information, it finally worked. Also the login screen is very basic on the free server. I don’t know if this is normal but I will let you know when I try on my paid server. But it was my understanding that the dashboard of the forum should be similar to wordpress. Maybe that is after integration between the two. Not sure.
Anyways, hope that helped. Thanks
Topic: sticky posts
Hi!
sorry for my big questions, but I’m started now with this great app…
how can I set some posts sticky?
and… how can I set the number of the latest discussions on the top of the forum list?
thanks in advance
yeah buddy! was off track now back to the game
I will investigate by hard-coding cookiepath, cookiedomain and like stuff in bbPress too.
I understand your point completely, I would have done the same for production sites and kept the testing going on test site.
Yo dudes,
I know matey, wasn’t meant in a bad way at all
In terms of backward compatability, there’s quite a bit of change to how constructs and classes are handled, and depending on when the code was written, could cause some hidden issues.
bbPress 0.7,0.8 & 0.9 weren’t major rewrites of any of the basic backend code. A huge chunk of them were written by Matt over a weekend some 7 years ago and the move to backPress was a definative leap (fully awesome OOPness – as much as its kinda useless ).
So what i meant wasn’t just the leap from PHP4final to PHP5; but also things that were not aimed for PHP4 but that PHP4 supported. i.e. The code that was still in bbPress0.9 that was written when PHP3 was still around.
Long time bro.
I know the problem of which you speak mate, and while not knowing exactly which bit of code makes it go away, I’ve not had it in ages.
Login in wordpress >>> check that i’m “logged in” on bbPress >>> access admin.
Yeah it all works. I’ll have to delve into the code when home, but I think the sites I’m testing on are using “super anne” code/plugin. I also doubt these are on the latest versions of bbpress/wordpress. Frankly I’ve accepted that installing bbpress means not upgrading wordpress.
As i recall from the long long long thread in 2008, the key thing was having:
in wordpress config:
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);
in bbPress config:
$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_’;
$bb->cookiedomain = ”;
$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;
$bb->sitecookiepath = ”;
The basic theory was that the bbPress admin, wasn’t reading the wordpress cooking properly or at all, something to do with when it was assigning/pulling data from the “$bb” global variable; so it wouldn’t let you access the admin panel of bbPress. But by setting this info in the config (loaded first) it solved it.
That may be pie in the sky my friend, but thats what my brain is telling me.
