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.

?>I realize I’m not incorporating the correct method for deep integration, but this setup is what keeps the forums integrated between BuddyPress and bbPress.
If you have any suggestions on what I should check or look into, I would appreciate it.
Using the bb-config.php file as it is now I can login and out of BuddyPress and bbPress without issue. Cookies are shared and work as expected. The BuddyBar for bbPress plugin seems to have revealed my deep integration issues.
Thanks for any help!
Hey John,
just for a test I installed bbpress at http://wpmu.zyrot.com/forums and the deep integration works fine. For some reason the different subdomains are throwing it off. Can you tell me if you can figure anything out because I need the different subdomains to work!
Thanks!
It could be because the ‘root’ of forums. is different than the root of wpmu.
If the wpmu stuff is looking for root or relative drive mappings, then when you have the forums calling it from a folder outside the relativity of the wpmu install, it can’t find the files.
That’s a WAG without enough coffee in my system. I wonder if a symlink would trick it…
@Russel Crosswy, the reason deep integration doesn’t work when you use your http:// method is because you cannot include an external PHP script, you can only do it via an internal method. As soon as it crosses the HTTP, the file will exist but not get included by the server, so you’re not actually including that file at all.
Which version of WPMU are you using?
@Rohan, I’m curious to setup something like you have because it’s something I’d like to have eventually for myself also. I’m afraid I won’t have time today to set it up, but it is on my list of things to figure out.
Hmmm! That is very interesting and it leads to some very though provoking stuff!
I tried basic symlinks already linking the subdomains folder to the one that works. That didn’t work.
What I’m gonna try is changing the docroot to the wpmu/forums directory and see if that works. This is getting complicated!
@John: Don’t worry too much. I’m trying it a bit myself! We’ll see what happens!
Versions I’m using:
WordPress MU 2.7.1
BuddyPress 1.0.2
bbPress 1.0.1
@ipstenu: i tried what you said but changing the document root also didn’t help. I am quite honestly stuck now!
I think I might be able to pull something fancy with mod_rewrite. i’ll try tomorrow!
Hi,
I’ve installed the plugin and everything seemed to work just fine, with the exeption that now the bb lang file is not loaded or not used, so my bb interface is back to the default lang (ie en)
I’m using wpmu 2.8.1 bp 1.0.2 and bb 1.0.1 (with the deep integration)
Any help will be apreciated.
Thank you!
I completed installation of the following
WPMU 2.8.1, (trunk 1867)
BuddyPress 1.1
bbpress 1.01, (trunk 2311)
BuddyBar 1.0.3
Site:
http://www.wpmeetups.com/forums/
Integration has been successfully set-up between Forums and BuddyPress Group Forums.
Problem: Insertion of the following in bb-config.php: (generates a white screen)
<php
if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) & !defined( ‘XMLRPC_REQUEST’ )) {
define( ‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false );
include_once( ‘/var/www/vhosts/wpmeetups.com/httpdocs/wp-blog-header.php’ );
header( “HTTP/1.1 200 OK” );
header( “Status: 200 All rosy” );
}
Question: Will the following correction to 2 core files correct this problem:
You’ll actually need to patch two CORE files, to make this work now.
wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php on line 317 and line 352
Change _init to __constuct (__construct)
And then in wp-includes/capabilites.php on line 84 and 99
Change _init to __constuct (__construct)
Ugh… I hope this is fixed soon.
@Brian: Yes the correction to thos two core files will solve your problems. Chances are the next version will have done something about it as well.
@argris: chances are the deep integration is overriding your language defaults. Check if you have the correct language in all of your programs (mu, buddypress and bbpress)
@Rohan Thanks for the help with the modification of the two core files:
1) wpmu-functions.php
2) capabilities.php
No longer receiving a ‘white screen; however I do not see the Buddy Bar?
http://www.wpmeetups.com/forums
Any idea? I thinking I left something out?
The other programs (mu and buddypress) have indeed the correct language. Only bbpress has the problem after the deep integration.
Any ideas?
@Brian: did you activate the plugin? At one point after solving the white screen i had forgotten to activate the plugin, !
@argyris: Do you the language files have anything to do with the bb-config.php file? I don’t think they do therefore I’m not sure why you would have that problem. It sounds like the language has been “disabled.”
Strange! When I comment the include part of the ‘deep integration’, everything gets back to normal, but without the baddybar
@the wall:
I spent most of the day trying to figure out (like many others) why buddypress groups and bbpress wasn’t integrating. In the end I managed to track down that, in my instance, the xmlrpc wasn’t working for some reason. The connection seems to be closed prematurely. When I eventually tracked down the fault to where the buddybar plugin gets included, and once I deactivated it, the xmlrpcs (and thus the integration) started functioning properly.
Please excuse if this has already been addressed in this thread, it’s been a long day, so don’t have the energy to read through everything right now, but I wanted to share what I found out in case it could help anyone else.
As soon as I can, I’ll try using the bleeding edge version and see if I can’t figure out what’s happening with the particular setup I’m working with to cause this to happen. The odds are good that it might even work without any fuss using the above-mentioned version.
Woo Hoo! Thank you for everyones help : @JJJ and @Rohan
http://www.wpmeetups.com/forums/
Fully Integrated with the following:
1) 2.8.1 WPMU (latest trunk – 1867)
2) BuddyPress 1.1
3) bbPress 1.01 (latest trunk – 1361)
4) BuddyBar 1.03
5) Modification of of two core files
a) wpmu-functions.php b) capabilities.php
Thanks Again
Regarding the capabilities issue. please refer to this fix from donncha. It is an official changeset to WPMU, so using this method will be future safe and not involve editing the WordPress core files going forward.
Thanks donncha for listening.
Thanks John
Any idea anout the language problem?
@argyris, nope, haven’t even checked it out yet and probably won’t for a few days.
My guess is that WordPress is overriding the language setting for bbPress in a way it doesn’t understand. Lots of times the filters don’t jive 100%, so I’ll need to see which setting gets flushed and rehook it.
Probably not a big deal, just in the middle of two big projects this week.
@Brian: glad to see we could help.
The bloody .htaccess method is pissing me off.
Thanks, I’ll wait !
