I will have a post to devlist, but I am pretty sure that only Micheal changes the core code, but will get around to it after the holidays! I tested them both earlier and they did work for me! It has been 3 weeks since a core change and there is about a dozen or so tickets since then!

my bbpress is integrated with my wordpress. the 2 required plugins, and adding
<require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');
in my config file so i could use my wordpress theme as my bbpress template. ok, so everything was file. now i tested it’s functions.
i tried to make a test topic as sticky. apparently i can’t use sticky as long as the above code (require once etc) was in the config. i removed it and i could do as normal.
so now i ask: i wnat to keep my wordpress theme as the bbpress template, unless i use that line i can’t… that line is not allowing me to sticky/unsticky. anyway this was the error msg i got.
Warning: main(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gray/domains/unlimitedinfinity.com/public_html/forums/config.php on line 57
Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/gray/domains/unlimitedinfinity.com/public_html/forums/config.php on line 57
Edit: another error, seems i can’t access my ./bb-admin/ when the above integration is active.
Trent, I am looking into bb-templates/profile.php around line 52. It seems like this test always fails and thus prints ‘No replies.’ Seems like the wrong two values are being compared or something. Also, it seems like strtotime(get_topic_start_time()) returns a really weird date, in the future too, and it’s changing too, every time I run the query. That should not happen for the topic start time (it is what it is, right?) Here are some of the time stamps I’ve received in the past couple minutes.
1169441052 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 22:44:12 -0600
1169441231 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 22:47:11 -0600
1169441457 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 22:50:57 -0600
The topic_start_time from MySQL:
2006-12-07 21:43:24
The topic_time from MySQL:
2006-12-17 15:58:30
The topic_time is accurate in the profile page (1166389110) but it fails because get_topic_start_time() is returning some date in the future…
Weird.
(Also, the date on my server is accurate, and my post freshness is working properly. The only issue I have with time is that the server is GMT -0500 and my customers are GMT -0600, so the post times are off an hour, but no one minds that.)
I am using the latest from TRAC, but if I add a duplicate tag, it just updates the tag with the recent timestamp, but doesn’t give errors. Is this on .73?

Hehe, it was a pice of cake.

AND it is easy to add the extra “step” to ” Website Design > HTML Basics > Whats wrong with my site” to the top-links if you like and it’s easy to group the result on the frontpage if you like.
(“General (forum cat block 1) >
–Latest news (forum under general cat)
–General Discussions (forum under general cat)
–Site Feedback (forum under general cat)”)
Well I think it feels “to much” so I made a new row in the table insted of giving every caregory its own line but its an easy to fix. Well, I didnt found any easy way to add a “middle-forum”, like it is in phpBB. If you clock on a categori you see all avalible forums.
Well, well. My point with this post, if you would like i can post the code and changes. But I warn you, my “hack” isnt realy nice, it demands changes in the db, in the corefiles and ofcause template. And worst of all, it uses crapy if-else and no fancy “all data in the db and one function for each job”-stuff. I’m a newbi so I’m using newbi sollutions.
Signature isn’t working most likely because you have the latest version of Avatar. The change you made in functions.php for signature need to be made in bb-avatar.php instead (in your my-plugins directory). Check out Line 34… that’s where you need to make the adjustement.
No idea what that means… 
Ah, ok.. I’ll have to try/test that then Josh.. thanks for pointing that out..

I made a theme for my forums, and found it rather easy. It was mostly just all css, and a few changes to the front-page.php file.
http://zenhelix.us.to/forums/
I’m using a few plugins also:
- Allow Images
- bb-avatar
- bb-limit-latest-discussion
- bb-memberlist
- bb-postcount
- bb-privatemessage
- bb-signature – this one isn’t working for some reason, but i didn’t really look into it
- display-name
- forum-moderators – don’t know if this one is working either
- notification
- onlinelist
Thanks to all who made those
I’ll make the theme more user-friendly and remove the front-page.php changes so that it is more standard and release it to public whenever I change to a new theme. I don’t want other people to be using my theme at the same time I am 
Hmmm… ok going to do a clean install on my test forum, perhaps another plugin is jamming…
Thx
Got it fixed, it was another plugin, fixed the error, thx again
zip is removed
Checked it, but that’s not it. Also get this error when login in (same as when posting):
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /xxx/bbpress/my-plugins/bbPortal.php:2) in /xxx/bbpress/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 39
Any other ideas?
Made a zip of the current plugin, just put it into your plugin folder. Now try to post a new post or anything and the error will occur. The new form in adminpage/content/bbportal works great.
NOTE:
This is for testing ONLY. The plugin aint done yet or compleet!!!!

I’ve tried to match it up as close as possible to the main site without looking too “off” and feel that I’ve done a pretty good job.
http://www.nowwerecookin.org/bbpress/
You’ll need a p/w and username: test/test
Plugins used:
- Allow Images 0.7.1
- Avatar .73a
- bbEmoticons version 0.72
- Memberlist .73a
- Google Sitemap Generator .6
- BBPress Private Messaging 0.73
- Use Display Name 0.7.2
- Online List 1.3-fix
- WordPress Integration .7
(all plugs found via these forums )
Feedback would be greatly appreciated. I’ve checked on Firefox 2.0 and IE 6.0 but would love to hear from users of other browsers!
Thanks in advance, and a huge thanks to those who’ve posted these plugins, as well as the FAQ and other solutions. Skinning this thing has been a bear, but everything else has been relatively easy as pie.
Hi there…
i nearly completed an italian translation for bbPress (using the last SVN, so it should be the most updated).
I’m keeping it updated and i’m going near completion today or tomorrow.
If you want to have a look at it or use it, feel free to check HERE
This is just a test forum… it’s not yet released to users
Bye!
YES! Once again gerd damn-its, testing a bunch of crap out the arse.. for Josh there.. it’s FINALLY working both ways now.. whee!!

/It’s fun though.. being the guinea pig .. of a bbpress plugin pimp! lmao
What makes you think I’m a professional programmer? I do this for free, you don’t have to use it. Plus, it’s open source, you’re more than welcome to change the error message.
That message should only be shown if it can’t find memberlist.php in your my-templates directory. Also, if you don’t have pretty permalinks turned on, it is supposed to see that and add the .php to the end of mlist.
Could you tell me your server information? (version of php most notably) Do you have pretty permalinks turned on? If you don’t know your server info, are you on dreamhost or something?
This has been tested on multiple server configurations and works on them, but there’s no way to test on every server config. But I’ll try to make it more compatible if possible.
The standalone version doesn’t have the ability to log, so it is difficult to test it without having someone do something that Bad Behavior doesn’t like! That being said, I am 99.9% sure it would be working if you are still able to bring up your forums because if you install it incorrectly, it will not let you access your pages and block everything until you get it right.
The good thing about Bad Behavior is, install and forget about it!

I would suggest using the following to stop the avatar plugin from working in the mobile version until I can figure out a way to make all images smaller or non-existant with this plugin.
Put this over the code for the avatar plugin in post.php in /my-templates/
<!-- Diable Avatar for BB-Mobile -->
<?php if ( mobile_check() ) : ?>
<!-- <?php post_avatar(); ?> -->
<?php else : ?>
<small><?php post_avatar(); ?></small>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- Diable Avatar for BB-Mobile -->
I have now tested this out and know that it works on my site.
In fact, any code that you do not want shown or changed in the mobile version of your site can be elminated or changed with the following structure!
<!-- Code for BB-Mobile -->
<?php if ( mobile_check() ) : ?>
CODE YOU WANT SHOWN ON MOBILE
<?php else : ?>
CODE YOU WANT SHOWN ON MAIN SITE
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- Code for BB-Mobile -->
Trent
Where are you changing that? I assume you’re using my Private Messages plugin (hope you like it), and if you’re changing something in functions.php or template-functions.php you could have an adverse effect on plugins.
I also don’t exactly understand why you would test if the current user has an ID. You might want to, instead, test if the current user can do something instead of having an ID.
Plus, I don’t think you want to use || in that setup. You probably want to use && so that if the profile exists AND something else, then it’ll display it.
Possibly all or none of the above
Trent, I installed this and the install went smoothly. How can I test this or know that it’s actually working? What differences would I see? I didn’t see any testing procedure in the FAQ at http://www.homelandstupidity.us
Thanks for sharing the procedure.
Works for me too. Now to do something like “WP Since Last Visit” from Alex King.
Also, I made the same change in forum.php on lines 16 and 25 for consistency.
edit: Oops, just looked through the files and that need to be changed in lots of places. I lost track already…
It would seem that this is going to need some testing!
Could everyone try this out if you can and report back? It would be good to test my blog as well (so we can see if one works and one doesn’t).

I had to borrow a function from the great Alex King and his mobile edition for WP, but I have created a plugin that will allow mobile phones and other common mobile devices to access a page designed for them.
Download: BB-Mobile
All the directions are in the readme.txt file in the download file, so it should be quite self explanatory. It has 2 files and you need to edit your header.php file in your templates, but has no core changes.
NOTE: I don’t think the mobile CSS will validate and I need people to test this out to find any bugs and corrections, but it seems to work well enough for me.
If you need a demo, you can view my forum with a mobile:

I think there is no plugin needed for this. It only requires a small template change in front-page.php.
Just replace in line 37:
topic_link();
with
echo get_topic_last_post_link($topic->topic_id);
… I think it should work.
