That works perfectly. Thanks!

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

this helped me in getting bb press to usre the same users of wp. Now, i need them to share the same session. (test user can log into wpmu account, and not having to loginto bbpress to post to forums.)

Actually, is there any downside into making bb use wp’s users like that?

[Pravin Paratey]

I’m running the latest bbpress at http://yammy.sourceforge.net/forums. After registration, users dont receive their passwords by email.

Perhaps sourceforge does not support this. Can I configure bbpress to display the password on screen?

Thanks

The easy way is to find get_thread( $topic_id, $page ) in /topic.php and change it to get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true ).

The better way is to use a plugin so that you aren’t modifying any core files. (This is untested)

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Reverse Post Order

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/76

*/

function reverse_post_order() {

global $topic_id, $page, $topic, $bb_current_user;

global $bb_db_override, $posts, $forum, $tags, $user_tags, $other_tags, $list_start;

$bb_db_override = true;

$posts = get_thread( $topic_id, $page );

$forum = get_forum ( $topic->forum_id );

$tags = get_topic_tags ( $topic_id );

if ( $bb_current_user && $tags ) {

$user_tags = get_user_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

$other_tags = get_other_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

} elseif ( is_array($tags) ) {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = get_public_tags( $topic_id );

} else {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = false;

}

$list_start = ($page – 1) * bb_get_option(‘page_topics’) + 1;

post_author_cache($posts);

}

add_action( ‘bb_topic.php_pre_db’, ‘reverse_post_order’ );

?>

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Oops, my fault. Do exactly what you did but put

global $bb;

directly under the function line.

<?php

function front_page_topics() {

global $bb;

$bb->page_topics = 2;

}

add_action( ‘bb_index.php_pre_db’, ‘front_page_topics’ );

?>

[Zambu]

On the basic downloaded version strater template, the front page lists “latest discussions” and also the “forums”. This listing visually has an line by line alternating background color of very light gray and a pinkish red.

My question is how do I change these background colors? I would have thought this would be in the css style sheet but I can not find it in there anywhere.

I did this: http://brunotorres.net/unsorted/phpbb2bbpress.phps

Worked fine to me, importing a phpBB database with about 30000 records, including users, metadata, topics and posts. It takes a lot of time to finish, but works.

The code is a mess. I just finished doing this. Maybe I’ll make it better, if there’s people interested.

You have to use it on a fresh instalation, since it’ll delete any existing data.

It was just tested by me and I can’t ensure it’ll work for anyone, but I’d like some feedback.

Enjoy!

[Zambu]

I am not sure what you mean by that, as I have never created a plug-in before. Anways, I gave it a try as follows:

Created a blank file with the following content:

<?php

function front_page_topics() {

$bb->page_topics = 2;

}

add_action( ‘bb_index.php_pre_db’, ‘front_page_topics’ );

?>

Then saved it as “latest-posts.php” and stored it in my newly created “my-plugins” folder.

But it did not seem to have any effect as the front page of the forum would still display more that 2 latest posts (I selected to limit the topics to 2 so it would be asier to test).

The only other thing I can think of is that this code needs to instead be added to one of the regular scripts, but I have no idea which one.

thanks,

thomas

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

How about this plugin?

function front_page_topics() {

$bb->page_topics = 10;

}

add_action( 'bb_index.php_pre_db', 'front_page_topics' );

[planetphillip]

Hi,

How can I control the number of latest discussions shown on the frontpage?

I know I can edit the “topics shown on each page” in the config file but I just want a few topics on the frontpage and a different amount for the forums themselves.

TIA

Phillip

UPDATE FROM MODERATOR (Feb 12, 2007):

There is now a plugin for this which allows you to specify the number of topics that show up on many of bbPress’ pages:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/3

[cmcraft]

Nope. Here is my index.php file from the bbpress directory. What am I doing wrong?

‘<?php

require(‘./bb-load.php’);

//the next two lines are my attempts to load it myself

require_once(‘/home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-config.php/’);

require_once(‘/home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-blog-header.php’);

$bb_db_override = false;

do_action( ‘bb_index.php_pre_db’, ” );

if ( isset($_GET) && ‘1’ == $_GET ) :

$forums = false;

elseif ( !$bb_db_override ) :

$forums = get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

$topics = get_latest_topics();

$super_stickies = get_sticky_topics();

endif;

do_action( ‘bb_index.php’, ” );

if (file_exists( BBPATH . ‘my-templates/front-page.php’ ))

require( BBPATH . ‘my-templates/front-page.php’ );

else require( BBPATH . ‘bb-templates/front-page.php’ );

//then i tried the include header call to no avail so i tried this

<?php include (/home/myusername/public_html/blog . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>

?>

I’ve modified my Google Analytics Plugin for WordPress and it appears to be working in BBPress (albeit without the UI for configuring the “uastring”).

Testers welcome; get it here…

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Create a directory called my-plugins/ in bbPress’ root directory.

Into that add a new file called mod-write-topics.php with the following code.

<?php

function mod_write_topics() {

global $bb_roles;

$bb_roles->role_objects['member']->remove_cap( 'write_topics' );

}

add_action( 'bb_got_roles', 'mod_write_topics' );

?>

I think that will work, but I haven’t tested it.

[ear1grey]

For me, the most useful thing would be a little WP plugin that shows the same information that’s in the Latest Discussions section of the bbpress front page.

Nothing too fancy, just ordered by freshness, so I could pop something in my sidebar similar to the “recent comments” section I have on boakes.org.

[jazzle]

NB: those typos are fixed in the latest version available from CVS/SVN.

Hey all

I’m testing a WP/BB install (on Segpub) and I’m having a hideous time trying to get it all up and running.

Has anybody had any problems running on PHP5?

[gnawph]

I wanted that functionality as well so I ripped some WP code, played around, and finally got something I could use. This is a highly sloppy work as I am out of practice and not really a great PHP programmer anyway. The plugin is mostly a rip of the WordPress code with a filter. It is not elegant or tested completely but so far it has been getting the job done.

Note: This plugin will not work without a default install of WordPress.

You have to create a directory called /my-plugins/, copy this code into a file called whatever-you-want.php, upload and enjoy!

Feedback appreciated! Maybe I can improve on this and increase my PHP/*press skills.

I just downloaded the latest version, deleted the previous tables and did a new install.

Same login problem is being encountered.

the forum is at http://energizedeating.com/blog/forum/

Anyone is welcome to register to confirm and hopefully help me solve this.

When I arrive at the forum, I am greeted as signed in

When I tried to post, I am prompted to login, , but the same login box appears again after and I remain not logined in.

If I enter my login info wrong, I am given an error message.

I hope someone can help.

Gary

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

What webserver are you two using? This initial release didn’t receive much testing under IIS. There could still be some bugs there.

Also, please try installing the official release, garymill. There were several changes between October 12th and the final version, some of which dealt with login issues.

[febwa1976]

OK – This is what I did at the beginning.

ASO has cpanel.

I went to cpanel and created “subdomain” called “forum”

When you do this cpanel automatically creates a directory “forum”

I uploaded BBpress to this directory.

I created a database in cpanel and completed the fields in config.php

I tried $bb->domain = ‘http://forum.domain.com&#8217;;

$bb->path = ‘/forums/’; plus a lot of others.

Does not work.

So,

I went to a current subdomain I have http://test.domain.com and in cpanel physically created a directory /forum/.

I populated config.php with the data and it WORKS! (looks good by the way!!).

The only thing is that my forum is at

test.domain.com/forum/

I cannot get it to the root at

test.domain.com

(by the way when I install WP to testexample.domain.com it works first time every time and I do not have to install it to, and call it from testexample.domain.com/wpdirectory/

Sorry for the long post and hope it is clear…

What am I missing here?
