I didn’t think you could put bbPress and WordPress in the same folder.

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

And http://areamom.com/test/ points to a WordPress installation. So, where’s the bbPress? I did find this:

http://areamom.com/test/bbpress/ which results in this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/areamomc/public_html/test/bbpress/config.php on line 29

That’s right after the mod_rewrite line in the config. Maybe you have an extra single quote there or you forgot the semi-colon in your config? Oh yeah, check this:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false <– no semi-colon.

That means this you should add the semicolon to the mod_rewrite line line and then this line should be changed:

`$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test/bbpress&#8217;;

Hi,

I am running a WP site and trying to install BBpress, but when I run the install.php file, I keep getting the “already installed” error.

Here are some things I’ve already tried:

I created a new test directory and installed a fresh WP out of box, and then tried installing BB press–same error

I checked my databases–the only two I have are my two Word Press DB’s none of which seem to have any “bb_” references to them.

Any other suggestions? Thanks in advanced!

Here is a copy of my config.php file that I am using in my test directory:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘areamomc_wrdp2’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘areamomc_wrdp2’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘**************’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test&#8217;;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Area Mom Forums’;

// This must be set before you run the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘*********’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks, set to ‘slugs’ if you want to use slug based pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = -5;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = ‘********’; // Example: ‘0123456789ab’

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

require_once(‘/public_html/test/wp-blog-header.php’)

?>

[pwdrskier4]

You may use my site Snownation. However, it is only a week old and does not have a lot of traffic yet. It is the latest wordpress integrated with the latest bbpress. Let me know if you have any questions.

[cyrillsneer]

I am not exactly proficient at php, I managed to get this working after about 11 attempts more guesstimating more than anything else.

However the opening of front-page.php just doesn’t look right I have what looks like a statement about topics and stickies opening and closing without anything contained, which makes me think I have done something wrong.

It would be great if someone could show exactly which lines to move so it is displayed like on http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums/

Anyway here is the text….

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

<?php if ( $forums ) : ?>

<div id=”hottags”>

<h2><?php _e(‘Hot Tags’); ?></h2>

<p class=”frontpageheatmap”><?php bb_tag_heat_map(); ?></p>

</div>

<div id=”discussions”>

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

<?php endif; // $topics or $super_stickies ?>

<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>

<h2><?php _e(‘Forums’); ?></h2>

<table id=”forumlist”>

[fel64]

Yo Dreamstruck. When you say that you also have bbPress Post 0.41 installed, I hope you realise that bbsync (intentionally) kills its functioning? If it didn’t, you would get duplicate topics.

I recommend pressing that Migrate button in the bbsync admin, as it will mean that bbsync will work on all topics previously synced with bbPress Post. It would, however, also stop bbPress Post working with that old data, so if you’re (understandably; I am ) hesitant about bbsync you probably wouldn’t want to do that.

Cheers muchly, if you hadn’t pointed that out I would have had that error for all time – I entirely forgot to test if the topic was synced before replacing comments. I’ll upload .91 in a few minutes.

There is unfortunately no way to bulk sync old topics (unless they were done using bbPress Post), as topics can only be posted at the current time (while still using the API) (so you could sync them, but it would flood the forum with out-of-date stuff). But maybe that can be made to work; not in the immediate future, but it’s something that I would also like for my setup so I’ll give it a shot at least.

Custom fields don’t show up right now, but I could come some functionality to do it for sures. What specifically would you want to happen?

[dreamstruck]

I really like this plugin, but I am getting an error on all of my older WP posts. I’m using bbSync 0.9 and bbPress Post .041 with WP 2.2.3.

What’s happening is that all of my old WP posts have this error showing up right above the comment section:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/public_html/test/wp-content/plugins/

bbsync.php on line 465

All new posts that I make to WP are posting fine to bbPress and this error message doesn’t show up for these new posts. I have about 500 old posts that existed in WP before I installed bbSync or bbPress Post and the error message is showing up on all of these old posts. Is there a way for me to bulk add all of these old post to my bbPress forum? It seems that this error is showing up because these old posts don’t exist in bbPress.

Thanks…

[mikeygyse]

I’m using the latest version of bbpress, the ‘SuperBold’ theme and I have a problem! The forums all appear on the same line… no indentation separates the ‘containers’ from the forums. From what I can see with FireBug there is NO difference between the containers and forums no difference in terms of CSS at any rate. However with the Kakumei theme it works.

[Jaithn]

i call it like this:

if ( !defined('BBDB_NAME') )

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

the problem started after the integration of wordpress and bbpress…so i don’t know what the problem ist.

mdawaffe do you have a idea how i can fix this?

i have one more problem…i can’t add links to my posts…when i post a link in the entry it shows only <a>test</a>…any idea?

jaithn

i’m running now bbpress.83 and wpmu 1.3…

There are two if blocks in front-page.php, one for $super_stickies, another for $topics. Remove first one(about 8 lines) and replace second with

<?php

$stickyIdx = 0; $topicIdx = 0;

while ($stickyIdx < count($super_stickies) && $topicIdx < count($topics)) {

if ($super_stickies[$stickyIdx]->topic_time > $topics[$topicIdx]->topic_time)

array_splice($topics, $topicIdx, 0, array($super_stickies[$stickyIdx++]));

$topicIdx++;

}

if ($stickyIdx < count($super_stickies))

array_splice($topics, count($topics), 0, array_slice($super_stickies, $stickyIdx));



if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

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

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

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

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

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

</tr>

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

Actually, the replacement is equivalent to inserting 8 lines of code.

I’d like my sticky threads to act exactly like regular threads on the front page “Latest Discussions” section, instead of always being at the top of the list. That is, they’d still appear on the list, but in the order of last posting – the same as all the usual threads.

Is there any easy fix?

I think if you post the config.php and the test script with connection details, someone will be able to help. Seems like a simple connection issue, assuming you followed the instructions in the other post you found.

Rather than replacing db-mysqli.php with db.php, did you try to apply the patch attached to this ticket?

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745

[matt123]

I’ve been searching, every file in my kakumei theme and cannot find the file that is messing up how the add new page is displaying. I know its a div issue but can’t seem to find that extra div.

What file displays the add new option in the latest discussion section?

Does it display within another file? Which one?

[ericakadisco]

Also, using a test script, I entered the same database information that’s in my bbpress config.php file and I can successfully connect to my database. The user, Disco, is the default user and is database administrator so there’s no reason why I should get access denied.

[Null]

Euuh ok, still not sure how to use this.

Let’s say I want to ad a tabel in the db called ‘test’, but only if it doesn’t excist.

So on plugin activation:

1- check if the table ‘test’ excists

2- if not, insert the tabel ‘test’

3- else die

[livibetter]

Could you paste your test.php?

[lookfab]

Thanks livibetter. I just realized that the profile field doesn’t show any fields that are not populated, so in my case there was no information to show until I added the website a few minutes ago.

Not my brightest moment

If you have the latest version of bbpress (.8.3), you need to activate the plugin that allows images.

Hi,

I’m trying to add a new custom page to my forum. It’s very simple, this is what I have so far:

– 1 custom page called test.php

– the page includes the forum header and footer

– The content (middle) part is pulled from the db aswell

All works fine except hyperlinks! Links like http://www.test.com will NOT appear as a hyperlink, but just as plain text. How to fix this? I want this to behave just like this textfield I am typing in right now (auto hyperlink converting).

bbcodes like bold do work.

_Null

[livibetter]

I only tested one case, the dollar sign ‘$’ on my testing forum with commenting out the entire function bb_user_sanitize except last line. I can register with ‘$’ in username, post with that account and the username is showed correctly.

[livibetter]

Hi,

Here is a quick php for it(Use this method at your own risk), you need pretty permalink to use it.

Save the following code in bbPress root folder as page.php

<?php

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

if (preg_match('/.*/page/(.*)/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $matches)) {

$file = bb_slug_sanitize($matches[1]) . '.php';

if (file_exists(bb_get_active_theme_folder() . "/static/$file")) {

bb_load_template("static/" . $file);

exit(0);

}

}

wp_redirect(bb_get_option('uri'));

?>

Put your static pages in a new static folder under your template folder, they should looks like

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

The static content here.

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

Then you can access a static file. For example, access test.php(bb-templates/yourtemplate/static/test.php) at http://yoursite.com/bbpress/page/test

Remember: Use this method at your own risk

I am trying to integrate bbPress with WordPress. I installed it on my local test environment first, in order to work out any kinks. bbPress is in the same database as WordPress. The installation went fine, it seemed, and I ended up with a basic version of bbPress — left-aligned black font on a plain white background. Is this what I am supposed to see?

However, when I tried to point it to WordPress, using “require_once(‘http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php&#8217;);” in the config.php file, I only got a blank screen. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

I sort of fumble my way through all this web design stuff, so there is a good chance the answer is painfully easy, but I can’t seem to find it. Thanks.
