I was thinking a plugin that when you click on the topic title in the “Latest Discusison” section, it takes you to the last post, or the last unread post by you (which I think would require cookies, I don’t know much about that). I’m sure you have seen this on forums like IPB or phpBB, you click on the topic title, and it takes you to the last unread post. This would be good for threads which have more than one page, so that once you go to the thread, you then won’t have to navigate to the correct page.

naw, it’s ok. Spencer just gets the weirdest problems with stuff, but I still got it tested

[bakedlogdotcom]

I have successfully setup my site to integrate registrations/logins between wordpress on its own DB and domain (blog.bakedlog.com) and bbpress on its own DB and domain (forum.bakedlog.com).

Files:

WP: wp-content/plugins/bbpress-integration.php

BBP: my-plugins/wordpress-integration.php

• I can create a user in wordpress and log into bbpress with it.
• I can create a user in bbpress and log into wordpress with it.(although the default role set for wordpress does not let me write (how do i change this?))

However, I too cannot get cookies to authenticate between the two systems.

I have included the following in bbpress’s config.php:

$bb->cookiedomain = 'bakedlog.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

I monitored the cookies created on my computer as I logged into each system, and noticed that bbpress was creating the cookie correctly, domain: bakedlog.com, while when I logged into wordpress it would set the domain on the cookie to blog.bakedlog.com.

So the problem is with WordPress..

Looking in WordPress’ wp-settings.php I see:

if ( !defined('USER_COOKIE') )

define('USER_COOKIE', 'wordpressuser');

if ( !defined('PASS_COOKIE') )

define('PASS_COOKIE', 'wordpresspass');

if ( !defined('COOKIEPATH') )

define('COOKIEPATH', $current_site->path );

if ( !defined('SITECOOKIEPATH') )

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', $current_site->path );

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.' . $current_site->domain);

So, in WordPress’ wp-config.php I inserted:

// BBPRESS INTEGRATION

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'bakedlog.com');

Clearing my cookies and logging into WordPress, I see the cookie domain is correct and matches my BBPress’.

But, there is still another problem, the cookies set by BBPress appends an md5 hash based on the site url and table prefix to the cookie’s name (ie: wordpressuser_bf17f59023eb22f…..) while WordPress’ cookie name is only: wordpressuser

I looked around in bb-settings.php and found:

define('BBHASH', $bb->wp_siteurl ? md5($bb->wp_siteurl) : md5($bb_table_prefix) );

if ( !isset( $bb->usercookie ) )

$bb->usercookie = ( $bb->wp_table_prefix ? 'wordpressuser_' : 'bb_user_' ) . BBHASH;

if ( !isset( $bb->passcookie ) )

$bb->passcookie = ( $bb->wp_table_prefix ? 'wordpresspass_' : 'bb_pass_' ) . BBHASH;

So, the next step is to define $bb->usercookie and $bb->passcookie in BBPress’ config.php:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH WORDPRESS

$bb->cookiedomain = 'bakedlog.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

I cleared my cookies and tested it, VOILA! I can log into either section (bbpress or wordpress) and switch to the other without losing authentication!

==========SOLUTION===========

BBPRESS CONFIG.PHP:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH WORDPRESS

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

WORDPRESS WP-CONFIG.PHP:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH BBPRESS

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'bakedlog.com');

==========********===========

Thats it I believe, let me know if it works for you or if you see anything I have done that could crash either program.

Yes. It should be WPMU friendly. I had Spencer help me test it out.

@chrishajer:

This Plugin doesn’t care if you’re admin or not. So you should only receive emails on your favorite topics.

Maybe you’ve downloaded the wrong version? There is one, which sends an email on every post!

You had an great Idea! I just put this into it. Now it displays the last posters name in the mail.

Download latest Version here:

[ardentfrost]

Trent: I’ll be updating memberlist soon to add a couple features, but I need to talk to you about fixes for wp integration (I think there are 2 that need to be applied, but I need your input and testing). IM me when you read this.

[thomasklaiber]

Hehe … I think I found the bug. You’ve said, you’re using the latest Trac-Version of bbPress?

Then I think you have to change line 48 of my plugin from

add_action('init', 'online_update');

to

add_action('bb_init', 'online_update');

then … it should work! (for me it did)

[chrishajer]

Simple, perfect, exactly as promised. Thank you. I was thinking about doing this.

[topiq]

yes you solved the problem. it would be very usefull if u could tell me how u did it.

if i delete the stuff between the <body> tag the hot tags and online users are displayed just above the latest discussions and the forums and not on the left side.

greetz,

topiQ

[chrishajer]

I fixed this inadvertently but I am trying to figure out how. On the front page of my forum, I have “Hot Tags” across the top and the “Latest Discussions” beneath, and both are the same width (760px I think.) The CSS is div #wrapper div #main div #hottags p .frontpageheatmap.

screenshot http://www.riversideinfo.org/wp-content/uploads/hottags.png

I could have sworn when I first installed bbPress the tags were on the left in a 150px wide div #hottags.

Are the hot tags supposed to be on the left in a 150px wide div, or above the latest discussions? Are the hot tags and heatmap supposed to be different things on different pages?

The reason I bring this up is that mine displays fine in IE and FF with the frontpageheatmap all the way across, but maybe I am missing the hottags? If I can figure out what is different about mine, maybe that will help clear the div issue on topiQ’s site. In IE, that hottags div is pushing everything else down the page.

Here is a hacked version, I have tested it for Chinese and Japanese tags and it works.Basically, it just excludes mutibyte chars(x80-xff) from the stopdata.

function sanitize_with_dashes( $text ) {

$text = strip_tags($text);

$text = remove_accents($text);

$text = strtolower($text);

$text = preg_replace(‘/&(^x80-xff)+?;/’, ”, $text); // kill entities

$text = preg_replace(‘/[^a-z0-9×80-xff _-]/’, ”, $text);

$text = preg_replace(‘/s+/’, ‘-‘, $text);

$text = preg_replace(array(‘|-+|’, ‘|_+|’), array(‘-‘, ‘_’), $text); // Kill the repeats

return $text;

}

[topiq]

Hi folks!

My site http://cessi.pytalhost.com/bbpress is not displayed correctly with the ?!”$%§ Internet Explorer. The Latest Discussion and the Forums are displayed far too low on the page. Has any1 else this problem or does any1 know how to solve it.

Greetings,

Create a file called test.php and put in it

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

If you get a huge page with something on it with loads of information then you have windows installed. Just looking at your 404 pages show that you have a windows server – low change of having php more likely to be asp.

[Ryan Fitzer]

Gave your theory a test just now. When I opened a new topic, titled it, put some text in and hit “send post”, I found that it did not show up when I clicked on the “Unresolved topics” view. So what ever is in the <select> area to begin with is what dictates the post status.

[Null]

Thx going to try that and also (if this works) use it in the bbportal css

Edit:

Tested it in IE7, Opera 9 and FF 2.0 and this fixes it for all browsers!

[Null]

Hi,

Strange thing. H1 tags are really f!@ked up. In every browser the size is different.

In IE: Ridiculous large font

in FF: Somewhat normal size

in Opera: Smaller than FF

See this image (watch the “Latest Discussions” text):

http://www.sourceskins.com/bbpressfonts.JPG

How and can we fix this problem? All other fonts are displayed ok, only the <h1> is effected!

[ardentfrost]

It sounds like what you need is to overload the bb_get_location function. This is easy to do in bbpress. You need to make a set of functions like this:

is_home() {

if( 'home-page' == get_bb_location() )

return true;

else

return false;

}

get_home_location() {

if ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == 'home.php' )

return 'home-page';

}

apply_filter( 'get_bb_location', 'get_home_location' );

That’s untested, but I think that should work. Basically what you want to do is add in your locational test when bb_location is called. Then you can just call is_home() and it’ll do what you want. Of course, if you don’t want any other part of the forum to care if it’s on the home or not, you can take out all that stuff at the end that integrates it with get_bb_location, and just do this:

is_home() {

if( 'home-page' == get_home_location() )

return true;

else

return false;

}

get_home_location() {

if ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == 'home.php' )

return 'home-page';

}

Whichever you want to do. The second is easier, the first is more versatile.

I’ve got a new installation of bbPress which is integrated into a mammoth WordPress site and I’m quite pleased with the outcome. The only real roadblock I’ve hit cropped up while testing.

If a user doesn’t close an HTML tag in their post, the formatting is carried through to the rest of the site (yikes!). As you can imagine, things can get ugly real quick when this happens. And it will happen, without a doubt.

Anyone aware of a fix for this? Did some searching and browsing but didn’t find any mention of this.

[spencerp]

Was wondering if someone wouldn’t mind making up a plugin for Forum Catagory (blocks)..? Like phpBB has..

Example:

General (forum cat block 1) >

–Latest news (forum under general cat)

–General Discussions (forum under general cat)

–Site Feedback (forum under general cat)

Website Design (forum cat block 2) >

–HTML Basics (forum under website design cat)

–PHP Coding (forum under website design cat)

–CSS (forum under website design cat)

Is anyone up for doing this maybe? I think it would be nice to have this option though, rather then having ALL the forums listed under ONE Section only..

The new working version for integrated with WP and non-integrated sites will be updated in a couple of minutes! It should work for everyone now, but Ardentfrost could use a few more testers! If you are interested, just download it at:

Thanks,

This mod adds AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, Jabber, and Skype fields to your profiles. They are displayed when viewing the profile of a user.

It isn’t really a plugin, but… I didn’t know where else to put this.

Please let me know if you’re interested. I’ll post it soon.

Demo: http://www.palmansworld.com/bbpresstest/profile.php?id=1

I have thought about this a was thinking that it really doesn’t matter, but my preference would be to get the login integration with WP first if you are going to have it and this doesn’t apply to everyone because not everyone is going to sync logins with WP. The reason is that seems to be the hardest part and you have to have your key admin being the one you want and associated with the right user in WP.

Once you are ready to go, then test the import of phpBB becauase if it doesn’t go according to plan, you can just empty tables in bbPress and the hardcoding part for integration is still done.

[rablake]

I’ve got my bbpress install (just a simple thing to test with) integrated into my WordPress database. I’d like to be able to import selectively for testing but no screw everything up — is that possible? I note that the script calls for importing into a FRESH NEW bbpress install.

[spencerp]

I haven’t tested this yet, but I just downloaded it now, and will be willing to try that “solution” there ardentfrost.. I’ll report back with any “problems”, or what not..

[Trent Adams]

I have tried it on the latest TRAC version as well as a normal 0.73 version and neither works. Unfortunetely, I never tried it on 0.72 so I don’t know if it ever would have worked. I will try on my other server and see what happens.
