bbPress.org

Hi, I’m experimenting with embedding some of the bbPress commenting features into an existing website and I was wondering how to set a topic ID.

If I do something like this it will return the topic title just fine:

$topic = get_topic( 162 );

$topic_id = $topic->topic_id;

echo $topic->topic_title;

But as soon as I try something like this I realize that I don’t have an active topic because it no longer returns the information:

$topic = get_topic( 162 );

$topic_id = $topic->topic_id;

if (is_topic()) echo $topic->topic_title;

Hope that was clear,

Thanks!

I’ve installed 0.9.0.1 at my test site. Gravatars show in the user profile at their true size of 80×80. However, in the kakumei theme, they are displayed at 48×48. I can’t find where this can be changed. I looked in the CSS and in the post.php file.

Am I blind?

Hi,

I have upgraded my WP blog to version 2.5 and would like to integrate a bbPress forum. Before I do so, I would like to hear from people who have done this and could give me a few tips on how to go about it.

A few things on my mind:

1- Is it better to use a separate database for the forum (which I would prefer if possible)?

2- Should bbPress be installed in a WP sub-folder?

3- Is there a plugin or setting which would prevent users to register via the forum (disable forum registration) and would redirect the user to the WP registration panel?

Any advice (and good plugins) would be well appreciated.

Cheers,

Gene

I used to run a blog using blogger called veryserious.org that had various contributors. I wanted a forum, so I used bbpress and set up board.veryserious.org. I liked the interface and having more control etc, so I switched from blogger to wordpress.

Then, I tried to integrate wp and bbpress. It worked okay, but what I think happened was that user numbers from WP were used to assign posts and info to users on BBpress. If you see from this thread:

http://board.veryserious.org/topic.php?id=34

There is a post (2nd post on page) from a girl named Phoebe, but the post is attributed to Jake. Can I reassign posts, or should I just erase all the posts and start over?

I am having troubles with integrating WPMU in with BBpress in a subdomain. Whenever I integrate the BBpress portion. It always says that password incorrect on WPMU. Imust have missed something or it isn’t possible to install it on a subdomain with WPMU wilcarded

Hope you could help me. Thanks

I have created a wordpress plugin that moves most used bb admin tab functionality to the wordpress admin section.

the plugin is available here

any feedback will be appreciated..

cheers

I’m not sure that it’s the “fault” of bbpress, but i just successfully set up

an installation and integrated the user db with my wordpress install.

However, now I find that I can’t get into my admin page for wordpress.

I get the error:

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

With my admin username. Same with any other username I have. I can log in, but I don’t have the right access.

I can however get into the bbpress admin page.

I have access to phpMyAdmin and checked out the db. In the usermeta table I have this entry for my admin user:

wp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}

Which looks right to me.

Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Is there any way to show all replies to a topic on the same page and overide the pagination?

Hey there,

my problem/question might be funny, but I just don’t get it. Just upgraded bbpress to 0.9.1 and set it up to be integrated with wordpress 2.5 (they both share the same DB).

in the bbpress config, i have the WP_ prefix set and everything seems to sync well.

But now all posts in the bbpress forums done by users that registered at the bbpress forums are signed as “Anonymous” and all these users are neither listed in the bbpress nor in the worspress admin.

To test, i removed the WP_prefix from the bbpress config, then these users are back, but for sure this is not the idea since i’d like to integrate both things.

Am I getting this all wrong, or is there any way to “import” the bbpress users into WP or something (without manually editing the database)?

Thanks!

Christophe

I upgraded BBPress and it now does not use the wp_users table. How can I get it to work with the wp_users table again?
