Using login_form from bbPress on a WordPress site

Published on May 16th, 2010 by mikkelsen

I’ve managed to integrate everything perfectly between my WordPress and bbPress site except this last part. I want to call up <?php login_form(); ?> from bbPress and show it in my WordPress header.

The reason I want to do this because I have a “Login” and “Register” button that changes to something different if the user is logged in. Like this;

Is this possible? Thanks for all help so far. The bbPress community has been very helpful so far :)

Menu Items not visible

Published on May 16th, 2010 by cloudadmin

Hi All,

I am in the process of getting at WP theme applied to bbpress and so far have had some luck..The headers and Footers are visible to the most part.

However the menu items are not coming across from the WP menu system.

Site: www.cloudosity.com

bbpress: www.cloudosity.com/forum

I get the two hard coded menu items but it looks like none of the WP variables can be called from the bbpress page. I am using get_header(); to pull in the header but the WP header code such as <?php echo $page_menu; ?> does not appear to work.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible to resolve?

Thanks,

David

bbPress 1.0.2 not finding my-templates

Published on May 15th, 2010 by TrishaM

I’ve just upgraded to newest version 1.0.2 and now can no longer access my “my-templates” folder with my custom theme files. In addition, it thinks that there are three versions of the default kakumei theme even though there is only one instance of that theme folder in the bb-templates folder.

It won’t even recognize my custom theme if I put it into the bb-templates folder – although the theme has worked perfectly before the upgrade, I have no way to choose it now.

I’ve searched for hours and cannot find any fix for this (and yes I did make sure that my permissions are set correctly to 755). I followed the upgrade instructions to the letter.

Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution?

An old config.php file has been detected…

Published on May 15th, 2010 by JCrosby

I am currently running PHPbb in the root directory, but want to install bbpress as I have used WP for years and love it.

I want to be able to import current posts and users from phpbb, so to keep it ‘easy,’ I installed a new directory and new db for bbpress. I go to that URL, and get the installation start page. On the second page, I get this error:

Oh dear!

An old config.php file has been detected in your installation. You should remove it and run the installer again. You can use the same database connection details if you do.

The config file is NOT in this directory, it is in the root (for phpbb). I tried editing in the info directly into the config file, but then the db can’t connect. I went through these steps, but no luck. How can I tell phpbb what db to use?

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks.

[After the Deadline] error: require_once(includes/admin.php)

The error

Warning: require_once(includes/admin.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Not a directory in /homepages/0/d188981313/htdocs/.org/wordpress/forum/my-plugins/after-the-deadline/after-the-deadline.php  on line 68

I know I don’t have an “includes” folder

the rise of pay-only bbPress themes

Published on May 14th, 2010 by _ck_

Don’t get me wrong, I am not against paid, premium themes for bbPress.

There are now a handful out there, which is a good sign.

But I want to point out something to a couple of the authors which I will not name at this time.

You should not start with an existing free theme that is GPL and modify it if you are going to sell it. (added: without making it GPL)

(edit: changed “cannot” to “should not”, moral vs legal)

GPL requires you to disclose the source if you are going to distribute derivative works. This means, for example, if you start with the kakumei theme and improve it, you cannot sell it to others. You can give it away and maybe charge for support, but in itself has to be free.

(But on the other hand, this does NOT mean you have to give away your work if you modify a theme for your own site. GPL cover that, it says if you don’t distribute, you don’t have to make source available.)

TL;DR If you are going to sell a theme, start from scratch, not another free theme or you’ll get in trouble eventually.

Plugin release – elf Akismet

Published on May 14th, 2010 by Rich Pedley

elf Akismet download link.

Adds an extra settings page to enter a numeric value for number of posts before a user is considered trusted. After which they will no longer be checked by akismet.

A field is also added to the edit profile page for you, setting this will ensure akismet always checks them.

My first bbPress plugin, so I’d appreciate feedback.

Add form field to exisiting admin page

Published on May 14th, 2010 by Rich Pedley

is it possible? and what hooks would be available?

I’m trying to hook into the akismet page, but will settle for adding to the options-general.php page if it is at all possible.

So far i can’t see a way, but may be missing something.
