Download BuddyBar for bbPress

Bleeding edge trunk: Use at your own risk.

Props to r-a-y for the leg-work and reminding me I needed to put this together eventually.

Please test thoroughly and report back any bugs to this topic.

If you are receiving errors regarding BP_Roles in your BuddyBar, apply patch #1032 to your WPMU trunk installation.

Fixed...

Hey John,

Thanks for the co-credit!
You might want to add deep integration instructions in the readme.txt.

Other than that, let's see more BuddyPress sites out in the open!

Quick note: this currently doesn't rehook the javascript, but it will. Just need to sleep now. Haha!

It also works here:
http://demo.cosydale.com/forum/
It's demo site. I'm using bbPress alpha 6, BuddyPress 1.0.1.

Thanks for the plugin! Using BudduPress 1.02 and Bbpres 1.01 I'expericiencing some problems:

When I add the lines to my bb-config.php the only thing I get is a blank page, (error reporting seems to be not the issue).

When I activate the plugin in the bbpress admin panel I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_site_option() in /usr/.../my-plugins/bp-buddybar.php on line 37

Any suggestions?

I was adding these lines (from the readme.txt)

if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) & !defined( 'XMLRPC_REQUEST' )) {
	define( 'WP_USE_THEMES', false );
	//
	//  You will need to get the ABSOLUTE path to this file |
	//                                                     |/
	//include_once( '/usr/home/dragons/domains/dragonsconnect.eu/public_html/preview/wp-blog-header.php' );
	header( "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" );
	header( "Status: 200 All rosy" );
}

When I add the line you suggested I get the same result, no response at all from any bbpress page.

-edit-
Seems that wp-blog-header.php is causing the error, I'm expirimenting with commenting out some lines there atm.

Hey matthijsv,

You shouldn't have to mess with wp-blog-header.php.
Unless you made changes to it.

Sorry you should use the official bb-config.php instructions that JJJ left, except replace:
include_once( '/the/absolute/path/to/your/wp-blog-header.php' );

for
include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-blog-header.php');

One question though, where do you have WPMU installed? in the root?

So what happens when you go to your bbPress forums?
The last thing you got to do is reactivate the BuddyBar plugin in bbPress!

Did you do that?

So you never had the chance to activate the plugin?

I would recommend removing the deep integration code and seeing if you can access your forums first.

Make sure your bbPress forums are in working order, then add the deep integration code, then activate the plugin.

Hmm... some other people use wp-load.php to achieve deep integration, but that drives down performance quite a bit.

If you're having trouble including wp-blog-header.php, then I don't know what to tell you!
Something's definitely up! Are you sure you have no errors in your server log or PHP log?

Cool! Glad to see you're up and running!

Thanks for debugging, matthijsv.

John, Transposh should be added to the readme.txt for known incompatible WP plugins with the BuddyBar plugin.

One other bug I encountered when using the BuddyBar was the second-level menus weren't popping out in bbPress.

I found out that the problem is due to some CSS rules overriding one another.

In /plugins/buddypress/bp-core/css/admin-bar.css, move line 177 under

#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul ul, #wp-admin-bar li.sfhover ul li ul {
	left: -999em !important;
}

So your admin-bar CSS from line 171 should look like:

/* third-and-above-level lists */

#wp-admin-bar ul li ul ul {
	margin: -28px 0 0 183px !important;
}

#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li.sfhover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li ul li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */
	left: auto !important;
}

#wp-admin-bar ul li.align-right:hover ul {
	right: 0 !important;
}

#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul ul, #wp-admin-bar li.sfhover ul li ul {
	left: -999em !important;
}

#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li.sfhover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li ul li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */
	left: auto !important;
}

... and the rest of it here

That was the case for me anyway! If you're using a custom admin-bar CSS, make sure you make the change as well.
