bbPress.org

I like the forum function of wordpress, but am not interested in blogs from wordpress. Do I have to install wordpress in order for bbpress to work?

A few people have expressed concerns about the growing number of template files included with the bbp-twentyten theme. Not counting CSS/JS/Images, we’re up to 32 individual template files to handle forums, topics, replies, loops, forms, users, and pagination. These concerns are totally valid, but mostly unavoidable.

The goal for bbp-twentyten is for it to be as simple to understand as possible without tons of proprietary functions or complex logic to figure out. To do that, we’ve split some of the files into ‘parts’ that focus on specific functionalities. Some of this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense right now because of lack of documentation, and it uses functions that are new to WordPress as of 3.0, but I’m confident it’s the best way to go.

When I think back to my beginning days of learning WordPress, a lot of what I did was butcher Kubrick and make my own frankentheme. I’m trying to keep that in mind here. Since the first place people naturally make changes is on the front end of their site, this theme should make that really easy to do.

We also have an empty folder for a theme named ‘bbp-default’ which will more than likely be a full-featured theme that flexes a bit more bbPress muscle.

I think when bbPress has more eyes on the code and more developers start integrating forum files into their themes, we’ll see some really neat things start to happen.

I’m having trouble passing a variable ‘tag’ to forum.php using $_GET, maybe because permalinks are enabled?

For example, when I do this URL:

http://mysite.com/bbpress/forum.php?id=999&tag=444

It just redirects to forum 999 and ignores the tag value, so I get:

http://mysite.com/bbpress/forum-name/

I’m using Nicer Permalinks plugins if that matters.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Right now, I’m trying to deep integrate bbPress with my current WP website. I’ve consulted a lot of forum but nothing seems to help me fix my problem. Here’s what happened:

When I included the line

require_once(‘/var/www/w3/wp-load.php’);

I can’t access my bbPress site anymore. It gives me an Error 500 instead. I don’t have any idea where to go from this. The tutorials online doesn’t help fixing this problem. It seems that this single line is having some attitude, I don’t know.

I consulted the error log and gives me some errors like this. I only copied few lines, but there are several similar error for different bbPress php files.

I would really appreicate some help. I really would want to integrate both.

Thanks!

I’m trying to open up search on my bbPress install, I can search, it works properly. What I decided, for now, was to not show the Recent Results, but only the Relevant Results, the problem is that some of the Relevant Results are not displaying a proper link to the post.

This line in /bbpress/search.php is the issue, I think, but I can’t figure out how to correct it.

Line 12:

Whatever I set the ‘per_page’ array to, that is the number of Relevant Results that do not work properly at the top. So since it’s set to 5, the first 5 results under Relevant Results do not work, but 6-end do.

What can I do to correct this? Thanks,

I’m trying to display a list of posts that are tagged with one tag but NOT another. For example, I want to display all posts tagged “FRUIT” but exclude posts tagged “Apples”.

I tried creating a custom View, but this code does not work:

function my_custom_views_init() {

$args = array(

'tag_id' => '35',

'tag_id' => '!=72'

);

bb_register_view(

'fruit-without-apples',

'Fruit (excluding apples)',

$args,

false

);

}

Neither does this code using bb-query directly:

$topic_query = new BB_Query( 'topic',

array(

'tag_id' => '35',

'tag_id' => '!=72'

)

);

$results = $topic_query->results;



foreach($results as $result) {

echo $result->topic_title . '';

}

Any ideas?

I was reading a reply to my own thread when I noticed it said on the left:

Started 10 hours ago by hennyjack

“hennyjack” hadn’t even posted in the thread. I was going to report this, but then I thought, “why bother? It’s not the old bbP standalone we should be worrying about anyhow.”

I’ve tested bbPress and it can definitely talk the talk, but of course I can’t tell for sure if it can walk the walk on a high profile site such as bbpress.org. That said, I think this is as good a time as any to start discussing when the bbPress community should start “eating their own dog food”.

Maybe a good topic for the next weekly meeting?

is there a doc somewhere about how to setup theme integration between user integrated bb/wp sites?

I’m not sure i understand the value of having integrated functionality with divergent visuals.

[edit] i’ve hunted around for a while and it seems that there hasn’t even been any real discussion on the subject for years. that means to me that it’s either a huge enuf PITA to warrant I PASS on it, or there’s a simple solution somewhere that i’m completely missing.

i installed wb first since the bb install instructions seemed to depend on that order. i followed the instructions during setup (copied the hashes from the wp-config file to the installation screen) and i followed the instructions on docs > “integration with wp” page.

the docs page didn’t say to, but i read somewhere else that suggested i install the wp bbpress integration login. i did so and made it’s settings.

yet i still cannot be an admin on both sites simultaneously. if i’m ‘admin’ on wp, bb shows the admin link, but i cannot access the admin panel until i logout from wp.

any suggestions?

Is there a way to create a restricted sub section in my bbpress forum for selected users?
