Hey all –

Just started playing with bbpress last night & I am both totally hooked and somewhat frustrated, which seems to be my standard reaction to new software. I’m fluent in HTML, conversational in CSS and have worked with WordPress code before so I’m not completely in the dark, but there’s enough of a learning curve here that I have a few things I’d love some help with, if someone had a moment. Here’s the first two:

1. I would like my forum to be completely private – i.e., people would have to register or login on some sort of splash page before they reached the forum. In searching around these boards I found this plugin, but I just get a big ol’ 404 Not Found when I try to download it (and it looks like it’s a ways behind bbpress v1.0.2 anyway). Is this what I should be using instead? And if so, where exactly would it go, and on what page(s)?

2. I’m trying to add a “topic started by” field to the list of threads; I can get it to show up in the header row but I can’t get the fields in the actual table to show up. See what I mean? That’s no good. It’s probably some stupid PHP thing missing a thing (man, PHP is unforgiving) but I just can’t find it. Here’s the code I’m using:

<?php if ( $topics || $stickies ) : ?>



<table id="latest">

<tr>

<th><?php _e('topic'); ?> — <?php new_topic(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('started by'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('posts'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('last poster'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('last post'); ?></th>

</tr>



<?php if ( $stickies ) : foreach ( $stickies as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_author(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>

</tr>



<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

Lord knows I have more questions, but let’s start with those. Any help would be very much appreciated…thanks!!

Just similair problem as yours…. may be the same….

I installed the latest version of WordPress on one of our servers, and thought it would be a nice thing to get it cooperating with bbpress.

Accordingly you have to install bbpress and configured it to cooperate with wp.

Then on wp you have to install a plugin called WordPress-bbPress syncronization and configure that thing too.

On top of this module you will find a box asking you for the directory of the bbpress installation.

Now given the right address of the bbpress installation, it will build up a link between both by using the

/bbpress/my-plugins/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/bbwp-sync.php program, as there is obviously needed some code to execute syncronization.

In my case this file and directory is completely missing, so even with everything coded the right way, missing the program nothing can happen.

I have even set permissions to up to 777, meaning readable, executable, writable for whoever, but the file is neither generated nor downloaded nor extracted.

Accordingly I guess it is missing in the installation package, or the routine to write that thing hangs somewhere…

Hope it was clearer…

In any case as soon we get an answer here ,and if you need assistance , it will be a pleasure to help…

Regards

Quasiamodo

I have a test install using version 1.0, and search result links seem OK on there.

Could you try deleting your search.php file (back it up first!) and making sure your kakumei under /bb-templates/ is using the latest version? If that doesn’t work, then definitely file a ticket…

[chrishajer]

1. I see you’re using 1.0.1. I would recommend upgrading to the latest to see if that happens to fix it.

2. I added a tag to a topic, and I do not have the [X] to remove my own tag. Why can’t I delete my own tag?

There is also some additional functionality where it shows ‘tree’ by ‘chrishajer’ – that’s not there by default, so how is that being added?

This error does not occur by default in bbPress, so there is something specific about your installation. If it’s not the template, maybe it’s a plugin or something else you added.

[chrishajer]

In style.css, you would just switch the width and position of the #hottags div and the #discussions div. Instead of what is in style.css now, you would have something like this:

#front-page #hottags {

margin-left: 610px;

width: 150px;

overflow: hidden;

}



#front-page #discussions {

position: absolute;

top: 0;

left: 0;

width: 590px;

}

That’s untested, but that’s basically the procedure. You’re just moving the tags right and the discussions left. You could do it with floats as well but it’s not done like that now.

[chrishajer]

My guess out of your list of plugins would be the mass delete users plugin. Maybe the post counts and pagination rely on the user being a valid user or something? I would disable that plugin and then do a recount and test.

@wpJunkie, did you find any kind of resolution? I’m launching a site with a very similar setup, also using aMember. It’s been a challenge. I don’t remember if I’ve tested the ability to post to forums yet. I was wondering if you’re using the latest version of WPMU + BuddyPress (with bbPress built in) or if you were using one of the earlier versions of BuddyPress where bbPress was not built in with it.

[1onely]

thanks very much

[chrishajer]

Remove lines 11 through 46 of front-page.php in the stock kakumei template. If you’re using a different template, the line numbers will be different but that’s the section of the file you need to remove.

Depending on how many tags you have and how many forums, you might need to push the footer down. Try it and see.

[1onely]

all the latest discussions

[chrishajer]

Just that text or all the latest discussions from the front page of the forum?

Hello

I want remove Latest Discussions >>

See you

[Abhinav Sood]

Hi all,

I am Abhinav. I am facing a slight problem deep integrating the latest stable versions of WordPress ( 2.8.6 ) with bbPress ( 1.0.2 ) on a website – I have completed the user and cookie integration and it works perfectly. All the settings are configured and saved properly. However after I add the line :

require_once(/absolute/path/to/wp-load.php);

to the top of bb-config.php .. Forums page goes blank! No errors, no warning messages.. Just a blank page with no code at all..

Before installing the bbPress live on the server, I developed the theme on my system locally and tested deep integration thoroughly a few times – everything works just fine locally but it’s creating trouble live on the server.

I have checked echoing values from the WordPress files that are loaded into bbPress.. that confirms that WordPress is being loaded properly.. But why isn’t bbPress loading after that !

I suspect that having WordPress installed and running since a long time already is causing the problem!

I have deep integrated various websites where WordPress was already installed and running for quite sometime without any issues..

Can it be a plugin conflict? The website is using 37 ( ) plugins at the moment..

( Should I post a list of plugins being used? )

Can anyone help me out, please?

I’d be very grateful..

Regards..

Hi,

Currently forum.php only shows the topic titles in the forum. I want to extend it a little bit and let it also show the content of the first topic. Example:

Current:

Title 1 (I have a problem)

Title 2 (I hate bananas)

etc

What I want:

Title 1 (I have a problem)

Hi guys, can you help me with my problem?

Title 2 (I hate bananas)

I hate bananas and you? I really hate the taste!

etc

Current forum code:

<?php



require_once('./bb-load.php');



$forum_id = 0;



bb_repermalink();



if ( !$forum )

bb_die(__('Forum not found.'));



$bb_db_override = false;

do_action( 'bb_forum.php_pre_db', $forum_id );



if ( !$bb_db_override ) :

if ( $topics = get_latest_topics( $forum_id, $page ) ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $topics );

}

if ( $stickies = get_sticky_topics( $forum_id, $page ) ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $stickies );

}

endif;



bb_load_template( 'forum.php', array('bb_db_override', 'stickies'), $forum_id );



?>

Seems that thread must be added some where and then only from the first topic (so no replies else it gets too big)

Any ideas? Also the template should be updated I think.

Kind regards,

[Kolya33]

I’m already using your translation goebelmasse, thank you. Just turned it off for testing.

These strange characters you pointed out show up even if the content of config-bb.php is nothing but a PHP start and end tag. (I have no blank lines before or after the PHP tags.)

I think it must be some problem with the keys. I basically used all the keys from the wp-config.php with “BB_” added to the start of the keyname.

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ”);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ”);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ”);

define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ”);

define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ”);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ”);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ”);

The keys I use are all from the WP generator: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/

There is a problem in your bb-config.php, most probably in the first line.

Normally, HTTP-requesting bb-config.php should not create any output. But try

http://uni-bonn-medienwissenschaft.de/forum/bb-config.php

and see the strange “”. I cannot get, what the problem exactly is, but it is the bbPress configuration file for sure. After login, bbPress tries to set a cookie. This is done by sending an HTTP header. But if there is any output before the PHP header () invocation, PHP sends a generic header, which lets the cookie fail. Result: you can not login.

Ich hoffe, es hilft ein bisschen — und sorry für mein mieses Englisch

Oh, ich vergaß — Oh, I forgot

If you want a german language file for bbPress 1.0.2 (with the formal “Sie”), take my translation — Wenn du eine deutsche Sprachdatei für bbPress 1.0.2 haben möchtest, nimm meine Übersetzung.

[paamayim]

Maybe I didn’t explain my objective very well.

I’d like to show as “Latest Discussions”, discussions NOT older than X days.

Is it possibile?

If yes, how?

Thanks.

[katastimata]

I have used wordpress, muwordpress, drupal and joomla and proprietary CMS extensively, for any kind of website. I’m about to start testing bbpress but I have to say that I’m a bit sceptical.

One thing is that the best communities I have ever seen are based on forum specialized software (not going to mention these here, you know them). So in order to establish a well performing online community I suggest that you use one of these software (bbpress seems to be one of these).

The other thing is that the community will help protect the community, so unless you build it and it grows, you won’t be able to keep it clean and tidy all by yourself.

[paamayim]

Hi,

I’d like to show only latest discussions in the last x days, for example, how cuold I do? I tried inspecting the code with no clue about a query to do that

[chrishajer]

I this where you’re going to run bbPress or is it a test installation? These are warnings that appear to be related to running on XAMP and do not normally occur in a production installation.

Also, they’re just warnings. If you can turn off PHP warnings, I think you won’t have any more trouble. But if you’re going to be running this in a production environment on another server anyway, I would just install it there and not worry about these issues.

[arpowers]

NM — he has since updated the plugin to fix the issue.

Using the latest update fixed it.

Mark as resolved

[chrishajer]

I just made a test post on your forum and it looks pretty messed up to me.

What plugins are you using and does this happen with the default theme as well? You installation is not working like a default installation, so it’s something that was changed.

[arpowers]

After discovery the backtick functionality I tested it on my live forum (http://www.pagelines.com/forum) and my local install. .

Its not working like it should.

Is there a config option for this?
