“the latest forum posts on the right hand side are visable on your wordpress pages. Was this achieved by calling bbpress header after wp header?”

no, it’s a plugin called bbpress latest discussions.

i dislike unhelpful meanies who hang around on techy forums, and i don’t mean to be one of them, but you honestly need to search the forum (and google) because the answers are out there! if you don’t do the research you’re going to waste time on things that have been done for you already.

just migrating my wordpress+bbpress install to MU+buddypress+bbpress took me around 30 hours. that’s not including the initial setup of wordpress+bbpress, or the re-theming of template files to acommodate the upgrade. most of that 30 hours was spent searching google for plugins and hacks and reading around.

thanks for the compliments on my site. believe me, i am not a coder, i am just persistent!

I’m a little confused, please bare with me . If I put in a topic id wouldn’t that just read out the same forum name by the file under: ?

To clarify I will be putting the code in the topic template as well as the front-page template which will show the latest discussions. Problem is if I put in a topic id wouldn’t it just read that all the topics are under one category?

[still giving]

It seems most of the Buddypress / WPMU / BBpress tutorial floating around the web are out of date now, e.g. they refer to separate bp-themes folders etc.

Is there any update for latest BBpress plus BP 1.1.2 …? I am most concerned about backwards recognition users that registered before BBpress was installed.

I found with BP/WPMU that there is a complete lack of backwards recognition and had to manually remake a number of blogs.

Thanks.

@circuit: i’ve looked at your website, and im genuinely impressed. the latest forum posts on the right hand side are visable on your wordpress pages. Was this achieved by calling bbpress header after wp header? Im wondering if this is an option as I have read some now about it being doable. It seems the code you have included brings in the latest posts in your forum, correct? My aim is to bring in latest posts in a specific forum on my catagory pages, with each forum included different dependent on catagory.

Does anyone know if what Im trying to do is possible with this software? Im going to be trying to do this with the header method for the next few days, so anyone who has some info on the subject would be a god send. I have a few threads from this forum that I’ve got saved, but they are very dated.

I apologize if this is elsewhere, but I am in a panic and have to go do my real job for a few hours. I upgrades to the latest version of bbPress over the weekend and everything went fine. Today I got greedy and tried to create a WordPress blog and then link to it. I followed the instructions on bbPress “Settings” and also installed the plugin on WordPress. I was trying to check the four user things that had to match. I am sorry I can’t quote them, but I can’t log in to see that info again. It was in the “WordPress Integration” area. I had both config files open and found the mentions in the WP, but BB had a line about “Secret” instead. I swear I closed both without saving and bam, I was kicked out of bbpress. When I attempt to login it says, “user does not exist.” I have tried password reset and it sends a new one to my e-mail, but it still says that I don’t exist. I can still see, my forum, but cannot login.

Please help. I do not know .php, but I typically take things slow and careful and follow the directions. I am sure I boogered something up, but I am not sure what.

Thanks in advance,

Make sure your cookies are set properly and match between bbPress and WordPress. Usually, if you have to login when going between the two, the cookies don’t match. Also, when testing this, make sure you delete old cookies from your system as they may be causing a conflict.

Akismet will catch some (the plugin comes with bbPress). Or, use the human test plugin to prevent most spammers from registering in the first place.

[tdh11]

Would anybody know how to display parts of bbpress in wordpress? My wordpress category pages are the same as my bbpress forums. Would it be possible to include latest 10 posts from bbpress forum ‘apple ipod’ on an apple ipod category page in wordpress?

..

Further thought, possibly the other way around? Display wordpress posts from ‘apple ipod’ category above the bbpress forum ‘apple ipod’?

[Doobus]

Posted this in the bbRating plugin section, but figured my issue would have more exposure if I posted here.

I have bbPress 1.0.2 on a test server with bbRating 0.8.5.

bb_rating() and bb_rating_dingus() work correctly on IE8 and Safari, and oddly does not work in FireFox. Firefox simply doesn’t show anything, looking at the source code it shows the same thing as IE8 and Safari, with my limited coding knowledge I’m not sure what the issue could be.

Also bb_top_topics, which I assume lists the highest rated threads doesn’t do anything on any of the browsers.

Thanks.

There’s some conflicts in the bb seo tools plugin with human test. This is the error:

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /web/htdocs/www.alegria.it/home/forum/my-plugins/bb-seo-tools.php on line 178

I am using this plugin, with just normal integration, to call the forum latest posts in the sidebar of my blog, and it works great.

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

[fifthhouse]

Thanks to you both. Yes it was to have links in my forum back to the blog. OK great, I think I can do this (not versed in code but this looks quite straightforward).

If I could take the question one step further, within my blog, would I then be able to create a widget “latest forum posts” with a list of several, which would link to the posts in the forums? Or would this require deeper integration?

This would give me everthing I need in terms of functionality.

I’ve skinned up the BBPress Kakumei theme and am running into a layout issue that I can’t problem solve.

As you can see on this screenshot, the title “Latest Discussions” above the ‘Latest’ table is getting pushed to the right of my screen (i put in a red box to show the problem). On Safari it acually pushes the whole table as well.

http://www.aists.org/images//problem-screenshot.jpg

I have scoured my html and css and am not expert enough to figure this out. Can anyone suggest how to resolve this?

Thank you very much

[hpguru]

Yes, i use bbPress 1.0.2 and Human Test work.

Check this http://keskustelu.hpguru.net/register.php

Human test is 6 + 8 = ? etc.

[Marius-]

Is Human Test plugin compitable with BBPress 1.02?

Is it one of those hard “write in this word” type of things? Those are impossible to read!

I don’t see screenshots anywhere. I don’t want registration to be even harder.

[johnhiler]

Sounds like it!!

Try this plugin by ck… it really helps cut down on spambot registrations:

I’ve recently done a fresh wp & bb integration install.

I’m using my own theme for bbpress, I was testing creating a sticky post, but when i click on any of the admin links: Delete entire topic – Close topic – Stick topic (to front) it just sends me back to the forum.php page, and nothing happens.

Has anyone had this happen to them? Any fixes or work arounds?

added: updating the password does not work as well, in the profile edit page.

I have the same problem. I am installing on my own machine using the latest version of both bbpress and xampp (php5.x). I completed installation (with errors) and then when I log in with the master-key user I get a white page with these errors:

I remember some years ago (probably I was one of the first who tried to integrate bbPress with WordPress in a different language, fully localized integration [1]), and it was a pain. Now, years passed, I can see bbPress and WordPress rising and shining, but I wouldn’t pay anymore so much attention into their integration.

The main problem I/folks met when choosing between BB software and taking bbPress as a possible solution, is it’s lack of real BB features, like already mentioned quoting, nice fluid design themes… classic stuff which makes a forum software look accordingly.

I do respect the WordPress choices when it comes to design (including software designs and tehnologies), but if you want bbPress get over FluxBB (ex PunBB, which was sold and it is it’s main competitor), forget about Joel Spolsky’s thoughts, people are looking for something they got used to already. Bring options to core and hide them under checkboxes, but don’t apart them in plugins (at least until bbPress has no such plugin installer like WordPress has).

Dunno why, but bbPress still looks much like it was first time released by Matt after a weekend of smart coding. Time to grow up a bit.

Just my 2 cents…

[CyrixInstead]

I’m having the same problem as Croyd, plus as CitizenKeith says, there is no longer a specific ‘WordPress Integration’ plugin with the latest version of bbPress.

Any ideas anyone?

~Cyrix

\Edit – I came across a fix that works for me (http://bestservedcold.com/news/bbpress-and-wordpress-magic-quotes/comment-page-1). I also have both WP & bbPress integrated, and I commented out the line $_POST = add_magic_quotes($_POST); in wp-settings.php in my WordPress installation. I tried a test post in the forum and one on the blog and they both worked fine.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

$out = preg_replace( '|/!]*?[^[*?]|si', '', $out );

That should take bbCode out, put it after $out = strip_tags( $out ); . Not tested it, but it’s adapted from a function I found on Google
