Of course it’s possible but around half the plugins will stop working.

depends on which plugins you’re using

I’m using all the plugins I have used before

I don’t know if anyone else experienced a similar problem already. I searched the forum, but nobody seems to have encountered this problem.

On my bbPress forum (http://hostpress.org/), if I go to page 2 under “Latest Discussions” section, afterwards I cannot go back to page 1. The http link on page 1 itself is showing page 2…

Any solution? Help is much appreciated.

P.S.

By the way, was bbPress forums down for some 24 hours? I could not access it although I could access bbPress website itself. Maybe only me?

[blakes77]

I have a WordPress blog I am trying to put a bbpress forum into. The install instructions are opaque to say the least, it may be simple, fast and elegant but I am very confused as where to put the files when working with WordPress. I had a forums page set up as a WordPress page, if I put bbpress into that directory all I get is a list of files and not my WordPress page. When I get to the installer it then does not recognise the Database Name, User and Password. The instructions are written with prior knowledge but not tested on the range of possible users. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I installed bbPress in the root of my website and WordPress is installed in the directory “/w”. Because I use WordPress functions in my bbPress theme I call the wp-blog-header.php in the bb-config.php with the following code:

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);

include_once( '/home/forum/test/html/w/wp-blog-header.php' );

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

header("Status: 200 All rosy"); }

My .htaccess settings for WordPress:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /w/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /w/index.php [L]

I hope you can help me. Thanks!!

[kirpiit]

So, I’m installing and testing my new forum, these days.

I have 3 users registered for now: 1 is me as Key Master, the other 2 are me again with fake identities just for testing purposes.

Anonymous posting is (or should, how to check?) be forbitten, for obvious reasons.

Now, if I go to this thread http://www.kirpi.it/r/topic/scatola I see that an anonymous unregistered poster seems to have contributed to the forum.

How it such a behaviour explained and how it is avoided, please?

Note: the post was actually made by me. I personally posted the image and the IP address is definitely the one from which I was working. But I did I manage to post anonymously?

[Olaf Lederer]

I stepped over directly from 0.9 to 1.02 no problems

[guyom]

I think so

I read something on the forum

Is it possible that I have to upgrade to 0.9 to 1.0 and after that upgrade to 1 to 1.0.2 ?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Ah the white page of death… check the permissions on your files are set correctly?

[guyom]

Thx johnhiler

That’s what I try to do but it doesn’t work, I have a white page and no access to the admin page after the upgrade

I try to upgrade carefully twice and the result is the same

you can see that here : http://www.basketsession.com/forum/bb-admin/

[johnhiler]

Sure you can upgrade – just follow the instructions here:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/upgrading/

However, definitely back up your files first… as you can’t reverse the upgrade other than restoring an old backup.

Also – do you use any plugins? Many plugins don’t use in bbPress 1.0… so make sure your plugins are available in 1.0 (or that you can live without that plugin) before upgrading.

Good luck!

[guyom]

Hi

I have the old legacy branch of BBpress on my website and I want to move to the The latest stable version 1.0.2

I try to find some informations about that on the forum but nothing

I need to keep my users and topics data

I just want to know if it is possible and what is the process

thanks

[Mark]

It’s actually a pretty simple hack, though I caution you that I worked it out in the last five minutes.

First, modify the following three lines of your bbpress .htaccess;

RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /bbpress/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/?$ /bbpress/forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/?$ /bbpress/ [R=302,L,QSA]

change ^forum/ to whatever you want the permalink to be, such as ^sub/ or ^purplepolkadots/, whatever works for you. Then open functions.bb-template.php and go to line 711 inside function get_forum_link() (line numbers may vary). It should look something like:

$link = bb_get_uri('forum/' . $forum->$column . $page, null, $context);

…and change ‘forum/’ to whatever you put in your .htaccess – this seemed to work for me immediately, however as I mentioned, I haven’t done any thorough testing of it.

[HeroicNate]

I’ve been trying to install the latest version of bbpress, but every time it installs it’s giving an error it can’t create the forum. It makes no sense. And then whenever I try to reinstall it says bbpress is already installed and it won’t do anything.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Haha or that I work with a server that’s almost completely firewalled in most of the time, makes doing anything that easy impossible

[kirpiit]

I got it!

See here http://www.kirpi.it/rss2html/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.kirpi.it/r/rss/topics&TEMPLATE=sample-template.html&MAXITEMS=10

You just download a folder [1] into your server and make a call with the proper parameters.

Templates are trivial to edit.

Looks the right thing for dummies like me

So, the raw problem is solved.

Now let’s go bor a better solution, if there is any.

I’ll try your code, kawauso, and let you know.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

It’s probably easier to use a RSS parser to be honest, but I couldn’t find one that’d use a local RSS source rather than a remote one passed through a PHP script first, so meh.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Ah the plugin is intended for WordPress installs only I’m afraid.

A quick way of doing it:

In your bbPress directory, make a file called javascript.php containing:

<?php



// Taken from index.php

// Load everything up



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



do_action( 'bb_index.php_pre_db' );



$forums = bb_get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

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

bb_cache_last_posts( $topics );

}



bb_load_template( 'html_include.php' );



?>

then in your template directory, make a file called html_include.php containing:

<?php if ( $forums && $topics ) : ?>

<table id="latest_discussions">

<tr>

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

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

<!-- <th><?php _e('Voices'); ?></th> -->

<th><?php _e('Last Poster'); ?></th>

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

</tr>



<?php foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr>

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

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

<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->

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

<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>" title="<?php topic_time(array('format'=>'datetime')); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; // $topics loop ?>

</table>

<?php else : ?>

No discussions.

<?php endif; ?>

and finally, in the page where you want to load the list, put something like:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>

<script>$.get("javascript.php",  { rand: Math.random() }, function(data){ document.getElementById('latest').innerHTML = data; } );</script>

<div id="latest"></div>

Old-fashioned way of loading the HTML in there and use a local copy of jQuery or whatever library you use, but that’s the general idea really.

html_include.php is just a cut down version of front-page.php so you can edit it the same as any other template. javascript.php doesn’t load in stickies, but that’s just how I felt like doing things, it’s a cut down version of index.php so it’s easy enough to put back.

Even more cut down version of html_include.php (so you really do just get a list):

<?php if ( $forums && $topics ) : ?>

<ul>

<?php foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

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

<?php endforeach; // $topics loop ?>

</ul>

<?php else : ?>

No discussions.

<?php endif; ?>

[kirpiit]

Instead, that /rss/topics thing looks promising: if I only could find the source of that page, and throw away most of the code, just to keep the last 5 or so entries with no formatting, that would be more than enough.

There is a rss.php file inside the bbpress folder, but there is too much code and I get lost into it.

[kirpiit]

They could surely be worth inspecting, if I only really knew anything about coding.

So, you mean that if I place this piece of php code [1] into any web page I’ll show a list of entries? I tried but it doesn’t seem to work at all.

So, the idea of just swapping wordpress variables with bbpress ones is not enough.

No. I’m afraid it would be beyond my skills.

[Olaf Lederer]

why not using the RSS feed from some blog?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

There’s the latest topics RSS feed at /rss/topics and the WordPress Latest Post plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-latest-post/, either of those help?

[kirpiit]

What if I want to show some of the latest discussions inside my site home page? Just titles (with links) would do. Is there any way one can grab them, perhaps as RSS, and display them into a page? I know, as an example, this is currently done for twitter posts. What about bbpress discussions?

[garyditsch]

I had my test bbpress and my wordpress site working well. WP 2.7.1 and bbpress 1.0 I updated my wordpress site this weekend to 2.8 and now the integration doesn’t work.

Not only does the login not work across the site, but when I login to one it logs me out of the other.

I have went through all the steps that I did initially to integrate the sites, but haven’t figured out the change. I’m wondering if it has to do with the bbpress integration plugin?
