bbPress.org

Hello,

I am currently in developement of a theme for a gaming group’s website that I maintain. We play multiple games and I wanted to have different backgrounds get picked randomly for the site and then if you select one of the games in their given section … it would pick that game background for that page. Perhaps, if I could for that game’s forum also on bbPress.

I know this may be a lot to ask of a PHP script but is there anything out there?

To help aid in any responces here is my idea overviewed:

Parent Link – Randomly picked background from backgrounds database

Games > Warcraft – Warcraft background

Forums – Randomly picked background from backgrounds database

Warcraft Forums – Warcraft background

Any ideas?

I have installed the bbPress-integration plugin as instructed. However, the readme file says to configure it, I need to:

Go to Plugins -> bbPress and enter your bbPress table prefix

What does it mean go to Plugins? There is no where in the bbPress dashboard plugin section to enter my table prefix.

Sorry for such a dumb question but I’m new to this!

Thanks,

Garry

I have installed bbPress and it is authenticating with my WP install but it is not clear to me how to have bbPress show up looking like an integrated part of my WP site. I have included require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’); into the config file but it doesn’t seem to get picked up. What am I missing. I sure wish bbPress was as easy to integrate into WP as all the other plugins are.

ATTN: This post appears on both WordPress.org as well as bbPress.org forums so I can get the best response possible!

Alright, well some of you out there have been kind enough to help me via the forums or within the mIRC channel while we waiting on status of the new bbPress. First of all, thank you so much for all the help! After much research, I think I know what I need to do…

I laid out what I want my actual users to be able to do! A very basic overview would be this:

Primarily WordPress Accounts: Posting ability on the “main site” (AKA WordPress install), posting ability on the forums of the site, ability to post comments to WordPress posts and a robust profile.

Primarily bbPress Accounts: Posting ability within the forums, ability to post comments to WordPress posts and a robust profile.

What these two types of accounts need to share is a unified Registration page, unified login/password recovery/login form.

I think I know how to go about this… basically I want my header.php to be the same throughout the website AND forums. That way it is the same login form, same link to register, same password recovery. And to change the register form I just need to use the WordPress one and just have the WordPress Intergration plugin, display name plugin and name with spaces plguin for bbPress … I believe.

I’m still kinda new to all this so I could use any input possible.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long read!

I run a bbPress install at http://justintadlock.com/forums.

My problem is that when I click to go to the next page or page 2 of a forum or topic, I am taken to the first page. So, users can’t access everything.

I use these calls in my template files:

forum_pages();

topic_pages();

The links show properly, but nothing happens.

I’m also using slug-based URLs but have tried all three options with no success.

My .htaccess file looks like this:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4



Options +MultiViews

However, I’ve tried several different versions with no pagination success.

I also have this integrated into a WordPress install.

I’m at a loss at the moment and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what might be causing this.

[Edit] Here’s an example page 2:

Major help is needed. I’m new to bbPress and am quite ‘nooby’; with these things I done everything and I can’t access my forums:

http://raiderfanzone.10gbfreehost.com/forums/

Whats wrong?….

Green Home Forums

Spun this up within a few hours using a modified version of the default Kakumei theme. I found it was very easy to add a custom header and logo to.

I have personalised my bbpress forum and want to add a link on the page to allow the user to edit their profile (I have removed the original, “Welcome….” section at the top)

What do I need to link to for the page to redirect the user to their profile?

Is this possible? I’ve tried every configuration I can think of and it’s just not working. Am i just missing something simple or is it not possible?

I’m trying to delete some posts. When I hit “delete” the post turns red. When I refresh the forum, I find that the posts are still there. They do not show up in the Admin panel of Deleted posts. I was able to delete before… the last one was about a week ago. I haven’t done anything to the forum since then. The last change I made was adding the Report Post plugin, but that was BEFORE I deleted my last post (2/25/08).

I’m running the latest released version of bbPress, which is integrated with WP 2.3.
