Hi Vizworld,

thanks for your fix – I will test it soon – after a little “distance” from my computer.

Today – it’s to sunny … so i must go to the mountains.

Use this in header :

<?php

// URL location of your feed

$feedUrl = "http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ashfameblog?format=xml";

// Replace the above URL with yours

$feedContent = "";



// Fetch feed from URL

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $feedUrl);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);



// FeedBurner requires a proper USER-AGENT...

curl_setopt($curl, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "gzip, deflate");

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3");



$feedContent = curl_exec($curl);

curl_close($curl);

?>

Use this to show :

<?php

$count=0;

// Did we get feed content?

if($feedContent && !empty($feedContent))

{

$feedXml = @simplexml_load_string($feedContent);

if($feedXml)

{

?>

<ul>

<?php foreach($feedXml->channel->item as $item): if($count==6) { break; } ?>

<li><a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>"><?php echo $item->title; ?></a></li>

<?php $count++; endforeach; ?>

</ul>

<?php }} ?>

Couldn’t you just take the latest posts RSS feed and use that in your other page?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Although I havn’t tested it but it should work:

<ul>

<?php

$count=0;

if ( $topics )

{

foreach ( $topics as $topic)

{

$doof = $topic->forum_id;

if ($doof=="1")

{

if($count<3)

$count++;

else

break;

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

<?php	} } } ?>

</ul>

This is a standalone bbpress install, no wp integration. Not sure what else to do to debug.

It is at http://rosalindwiseman.com/forums/

You can see in the source that I am trying to test it by turning the search form color:red

Any advice appreciated. Thanks, alvar

[massbase]

how do i loop through each forum to echo the latest topics for each one seperatly… rather than blast out the entire topics of every forum at once.

[michaelphill]

I’m looking for a plugin that will allow me to display the last 5 or so posts in a designated forum on another page outside of the BBPress/WP installation.

Something similar to thisL

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

Any suggestions?

[Arturo]

Your attempt to create this topic has failed.

Try again.

Back to Demo Forum.

any idea about this and how resolve? thanks.

Cookies

We should probably have a general writeup of how Cookies work in both WordPress and bbPress, across versions… how the WordPress cookie was changed in versions 2.5 and 2.6, and how the bbPress cookie was changed from 0.9 to 1.0 (and any other changes that you can think of!)

Of particular note would be which versions integrate well with each other (e.g. how bbPress 0.9 doesn’t have native support to integrate with the latest WordPress versions… so for a number of months, the only way to upgrade WordPress was to upgrade to the alpha 1.0).

Also, ck’s bbPress cookie upgrade plugin… and Superann’s WordPress cookie downgrade plugin (to allow 0.9 to talk to the latest WordPress cookies).

Anyone enough of a Cookie guru to draft a general writeup of how cookies work, and the general cookie compatibility issues we’ve seen? I think we can do better than the WordPress Codex, which seems really vague:

https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Cookies

Integration

Might be worth sharing links to people who have integrated bbPress with non *Press user logins:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-integration-2

Maybe also a writeup on “deep” *Press integration versus other more “shallow” forms of integration (shared login)… some useful links on that:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-pass-at-a-fix-for-deep-integration-in-trunk

Any other links on deep versus shallow integration?

It’s difficult to test email on local setups sometimes. You should probably move your testing to your server as that will have a whole different setup, with it’s own unique requirements.

[Sam Bauers]

See the blog post.

Lots of testing would be greatly appreciated.

A note for anyone integrating cookies with WordPress less than version 2.8, you need to add this to your bb-config.php file…

define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);

When you upgrade WordPress to 2.8 that line will have to be removed.

When you’re creating a new topic, the Tags edit field drops down a list of previously used tags if double-clicked. On one of my forums I tested the Censor plugin (which didn’t work for unknown reasons). I’d put in a couple of swear words as tags, and now they’re showing up all the time.

I’ve searched through the DB manually with my ISP control panel, but can’t find it. Does anyone know where the list is populated from? This could turn out somewhat embarrassing if I don’t remove the offending words!

[niravdave]

Hi,

I have searched on the internet and here. I have been unable to find a script/code which can display latest discussions on my homepage which is not wordpress a wordpress site.

help much appreciated.

Is there a way of remembering the last visited categories?

For example if I clicked on my music category to display all the latest music topics, and then i leave the entire forum (site), and than i come back to the site, can it remember to display the latest music posts, as it was the last category i chose.

[Arturo]

i’ve integrated the latest trunk of bbPress with my installation of MU 2.7.1 but if I try to login in MU i’m not logged in in bbPress and i have to re-insert my accout username and password.

i’ve used sam’s plugin but nothing change. I’ve seen the cookie name and are the same, but the problem don’t change…

anyone can help me? thanks for all.

[mattlay]

I would like to put up a bounty for anyone who can make me a converter for my Xoops 2.0.14 (CBB 3.05) forums to bbPress. If anyone is interested in doing it I will reimburse them with the stipulation that I must test it to ensure it works and it must be freely available after the bounty is closed.

Send me an email if you are interested.

Thank you.

has anyone tested bbpress scalability in terms of no users,topics and comments

[emfulz]

I am using the latest versions of bbPress and WordPress which are 2.7.1 (wp) and 0.9.0.5 (bbp)

The instructions are rather inside in the installation of bbPress which you can make the integrating processes through the databases.

[michael3185]

Now I’ve got a couple of forums working the way users need, I’m looking into getting them noticed on the web. I’ve read masses of information on this, including use of HTML page Meta tags and data, plus words in the Meta being in the pages, etc. I must say, I’m somewhat confused by it all.

I don’t have the time to try and become a search engine submission expert, and my charity clients don’t have the money to pay for services like that either. I understand the basic concept of including some HTML Meta tags for search engines to process. Should I just add these manually to index.php, or does it get re-written on the fly by bbPress? (I haven’t tested that yet).

How difficult would it be to create a plugin, say, that lets you enter HTML Meta tags and data in Admin, and then just inserts it into the forum pages so search engines find them? I guess that’s what some of the mentions about v1.0’s meta stuff are about? (I’m using 0.9.0.5) Any help much appreciated.

[edit]

Actually, I realise that a simpler way would be to just write a text file with the HTML Meta information in it, and somehow include it in the header section of various files (or is it only really required in index.php?) I’ve seen an ‘include once’ directive, but guess that just makes a file’s functions available rather than inserting it directly into another? Apologies if the answer is so basic I shouldn’t need to ask, but after six weeks of hard work my head’s fried.

[Tynan Beatty]

You should only need the define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); part added to the bb-config.php, not the rest (if you upgrade to WP2.8, then you don’t need any of those additions to the bb-config.php file). The WP bbPress Integration plugin’s settings page lists some things you’ll need to add to your wp-config.php file though. Namely, you’ll need to add at least something like define('COOKIEPATH', '/');, depending on your wordpress’ installation path. Try just adding that part and see how things work. If they don’t work, try adding the other things the WP bbPress Integration Plugin settings page suggests (I added all of it’s suggestions using the latest WP2.8 and the latest bbPress 1.0-rc-1 and it broke my WP login; but with just the cookipath definition, most everything except logging in from bbP and then logging out from WP [somewhat trivial], integrates as expected).

peace~

[Sam Bauers]

WordPress is planning on implementing a labeling system to identify “canonical” plugins. I believe the rating of these will be community driven. It’s early days on that one, but I think a user driven approach would be the only legitimate way to go.

Thanks for the MySQL query testing above. I’ll look into what’s possible without bloating the cache objects.

People might be interested to know that in Automattic’s mix of bbPress usage we use no external object cacheing (like memcached) or page caching. This is with both 0.9 and 1.0 versions.
