I installed the latest bbPress version (1.0.2) and integrated in WordPress 2.8.4.

Everything seems working, but only the footer navigation with the “next page” links don’t work.

I think it is a conflict between the htaccess files of bbPress and WordPress.

If I switch Options -MultiViews to Options +MultiViews, the “next pages” work.

But from that moment the topic page redirects to /topic/17475/page/17475 (the latest number isn’t correct).

Anyone a solution? Thanks in advance.

How do you link to html link in the forum post and display photos. Is there a plugin for that? I have latest version of bbpress.

@dragunoff, upgrade to the latest bbpress version

Hi,

hoping for help, since I´m not in no way good enough to find this answer.

The inputfiled for posts/replys in atopic seems to be attached to the page where the first post in a topic was made. Since I´ve using the the threads so that the latest post gets on top in the first page (and therefore the first post ends upp last in the last page). What happens is that the posting (input)-field ends upp on the last page.

Is it possible to change in the code så that the posting field ends upp connected to the last posting/reply. And then (hopefully on page one).

Anybody?

[wsokc]

At last its solved, I follow ur idea and its works.

First I upgrade it the old database to the latest bbpress, then I import it for each table manually, the tags located in bb_terms.

Thanks Anyway.

I’ve never quite understood the complaints about cookies and bbPress/WordPress integration… I set up a fresh copy of 1.0.2 locally with no prior knowledge and it worked fine (Windows test server). I FTPed it onto my live server and changed over the addresses and it works fine, apart from an odd quirk to do with bb-admin and where you log in. My cookies hold across either site, and for that matter to a MediaWiki install I have tied in to the same user set.

I quite understand the issue with cross-posting though. I’d fix it myself if I could work out how to initialise bbPress core cleanly inside WordPress, but that’s not possible in 1.0, so for now all you can use is plugins that do it by HTTP. Hopefully that will be integrated into core later on, but including bbPress as a WordPress plugin would be shoehorning something that was designed to be relatively standalone into a different structure and no doubt would over complicate things.

kirpi.it, here is the code, like Kawauso pointed out:

#latest th a, #forumlist th a, #favorites th a {style.css (line 714)

-moz-border-radius-bottomleft:6px;

-moz-border-radius-bottomright:6px;

-moz-border-radius-topleft:6px;

-moz-border-radius-topright:6px;

background-color:#9D0000;

border:1px solid #FFFFFF;

color:#FFFFFF;

padding:2px;

You can see this theme in action at http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

It’s using class new-topic, so you’d need .newtopic {}… it can’t be found because there’s no actual CSS affecting it specifically. I’d recommend using Mozilla Firefox’s DOM inspector or looking at the HTML source to find class/ID tags for things.

Oh, and it’s affected by (in Kakumei at least):

#latest th a, #forumlist th a, #favorites th a and a:visited

[kirpiit]

So.

1. – I just dowloaded 1.0.2 once again from bbpress.org and completely reloaded the Kakumei folder into my install. [1]

2. – Tags do *not* work as they should once you load the forum, log in and try. Please see http://www.kirpi.it/r/topic/evita (User: Evita Password: IE0Rc4vpTl7P) for a free test.

3. – When I disable Javascript as suggested, tags adding start to work fine (although not ajaxically, obviously): the tag is recorded, the page is reloaded, the tag is inserted into the list and the input field is cleared.

4. – Re-enabling Javascript, it sometimes work and sometimes not.

5. – Repeating points 3 and 4 confirms point 4. Test were done many times with the latest Firefox.

It is all funny, but I cannot get a clue of it.

[1] I also updated the bb-templates/kakumei/rss2.php as indicated here

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/all-rss-feeds-broken#post-57278 in attempt to solve the RSS problem (which was not solved, but this is another story).

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Try integrating as per this tutorial of mine on a test install : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/

Just follow closely and you should be fine.

[Olaf Lederer]

might be changed in my own sheet, but this is the class:

#latest th, #forumlist th, #favorites th {

text-align: left;

background-color:#666666;

font: 11px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

font-weight: normal;

padding: 5px 9px;

color:#fff;

white-space: nowrap

}

I know theres a discussion going on about using Facebook Connect with BBPress, but I wonder if there is any there way to merge these two?

I run a website, with an own Facebook group. They usually just write on the wall what the latest discussion is. Manually, with no links.

Is it possible to get something like an RSS feed of the forum integrated into the Facebook group? So users there can see the 10 latest threads appear as links?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Check for a trailing space or anything after the ?> or before the <?php. That error implies that some text is being passed and in my test install, that was a space after the ?>.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

With the final patch from track applied against 1.0.2 trunk you get:

I think should do it, it’s based off code here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/open-links-in-new-window

Change the values of $forums to the forum IDs of those you wish to restrict (it’ll only work on direct parent forums, not grandparents or categories, I don’t want to include walker code unless people need it).

Tested on 1.0.2 trunk, so I’m not 100% sure it’ll run on 0.9, sorry.

@Hanratty: hiding links using CSS visibility will still leave the link URLs in the code, which isn’t too desirable for some

[kirpiit]

No, the theme you see here now http://www.kirpi.it/r/topic/evita is the standard Kakumei, just the way it comes out of the install. Not even the slightest edit to it.

Instead, I have some plugin enabled.

[gerikg]

<?php bb_new_topic_link(); ?> the code to add new.

The first one I know is in front-page.php

you have

<?php if ( $forums ) : ?>

then the Latest Discussion

then Forum

<?php endif; // bb_forums() ?>

Then Views

and the part you’re missing

@All

There does appear to be an option that everyone is overlooking … and that’s Output Caching.

We’ve talked about memcache, optcode caching and mysql query caching … but truly the most effective is simply perform Output Caching for non-logged in users.

In case someone is not aware, Output Caching is saving to disk the generated HTML. That way, instead of memcache where you have to make a call to the memcache server, or in mysql you’re still making the database call or in optcode caching, it’s simply pre-compliling the PHP … Output Caching is by far the fastest because it essentially just serving up pre-generated HTML straight from disk.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Interesting. There actually IS an RSS built into your user ID: https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/profile/otto42

But it’s used for your favorites so not so much. You can see all your posts in your profile (recent posts) so in theory this should be ‘exportable’ to RSS.

The rss.php file has this:

// Get latest posts by default

case 'all-posts':

default:

if ( !$posts = bb_get_latest_posts( 35 ) )

die();

$title = esc_html( sprintf( __( '%1$s » Recent Posts' ), bb_get_option( 'name' ) ) );

$link = bb_get_uri();

$link_self = bb_get_posts_rss_link();

break;

Which I think you could toss an extra if if ( $user->ID == bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ) ) but that would only punt out a list of the current user’s posts, and not be a way to see anyones. The structure is there, though.

[johnhiler]

_ck_ posted a fix here that you can make to your template:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/navigation-not-working-only-for-page-1

I installed her “topics per page” plugin, which fixed it nicely as well (and gave more functionality to boot).

[_working_]

The navigation bar on the front page is not working, I have updated to the latest trunk and they are still not working.

Is there any way to fix for this. Any help will be much appreciated.

[_ck_]

In theory it should be also possible to allow users to move their own topics if placed in the wrong category:

(untested, should allow a user to move only their own topics within the same time period they can typically edit a topic, ie. 1 hour default)

function move_own_topic($retvalue, $capability, $args) {

if ($capability=="move_topic") {return bb_current_user_can( 'edit_topic', $args[1]);}

return $retvalue;

}

add_filter('bb_current_user_can', 'move_own_topic',10,3);

[x_maras]

Ok, I managed to do it : )

I installed a plugin (“Topics Per Page (0.0.7)”) for reducing the number of the latest discussions’ posts and I changed in my template, in the front-page.php file, the order in the of the two tables (latest discussions and forums).

Finally was easier than I thought : )

[x_maras]

Hi,

I ve just installed a bbpress forum and successfully moved the posts from an old forum that we had.

However, I would like to change a bit the appearance of the forum.

I’d like to reduce the number of the posts in the latest discussions around to 10 posts and i would also like

move the latest discussions in the bottom, under the Forum part.

Could you give me any tips how I could make that.

Thank you in advance,

Dinos

It is SO sad that bbpress isn’t a one-click install plugin for WordPress. I want a forum that clicks into my main CMS quickly, that automatically reports latest posts to the *website homepage*, that automatically integrates user permissions etc, and that works with similar User Control Panel and information for all areas of the CMS.

I want a blog that can automatically send posts/articles to the forum (the way bbsyn USED TO before support for it was dropped) where the comments can enjoy the full power of a forum.

And I want it all in a few clicks.

Only Joomla seems to do that with it’s 2 highly supported “fully loaded” forums. (Forums that have all the options already in them, and that don’t need basic things like email-notification added on.)
