WordBB Research and Feature Suggestions
I’m just wondering how many people out there are actually using WordBB on live websites and enjoying it. If you are one of those, please comment this post.
I noticed most of you have some problems with theme editing, which is okay since it requires some PHP/HTML skills. If this is your case, please give a look at the documentation and let me know if there’s something you still don’t get or are in trouble with. I can’t offer much support (too busy with work and other stuff) but I’d be glad to improve documentation and tutorials if there’s the need.
Also, if you’re looking for new features on WordBB, now it’s a good time to ask.
thanks dude , I am using it happily
I am using it, but really really trying to find out what/how to edit, the doc isn’t really clear. I want to implement all of the template functions, could you give an example that works? Like, can run on a live server?
In order to keep things generic, the only thing I can show is just a few snippets since those modifications are based on how your theme is structured.
Anyway, the template function are easy to use, just call them in your theme (as for thread functions, be sure to call them in the WordPress Loop) and echo out return values.
First of all, i advise everyone to read the readme file :’)
it clears out ALOT , like all of the functions.
Second, the quick edit mode @ my site isn’t working anymore, since when i click it, wordpress shows up in mybb with a search error or something lol
Could i get support on that please ^^
just want to know if this is through wordBB and can be edited
You mean support on the Quick Edit thing? I’ll look into it as soon as I have some spare time.
Ok thanks alot !
@Matt: Quick edit works fine here. Are you having trouble with the link under the “WordBB Posts” section maybe? And what’s the exact error you are getting?
I am trying this out but it is showing that
error
MyBB root folder does not exist
which isn’t true. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Vic
@Victor: in order to be sure you’ve set the right path, put a PHP file in your MyBB directory containing the following code:
then run that script. You’ll get the right absolute path which you can match with the one you entered in your WordBB settings.
K Thanks
No :s weird, maybe it’s just my theme. Guess i’ll look into it. By the way, nice informing blog you got here ^^
tested, doesn’t matter which theme :’( i think i’ve just got to disable quickedit in mybb
OK now I get it so I get absolute path right put it in there and than now it is saying something about global can’t be found. Ugghh
I am wondering is this going to be like if they register either at blog or forum than they are members of both?
No victor
this is just a cross posting / comment system that outperforms wp-united (buggiest addon on earth) .
Actually bridgin both will be a process that will fark up your database (i think).
I just installed MyBB [http://www.mlmmillionaireclub.com/MyBB] and I’m trying to configure your plugin when I get these 2 error messages:
* MyBB root folder does not exist
* Default post author username does not exist on MyBB
As you can see from my URL error #1 is untrue.
The post author username that I’m using is admin, so I shouldn’t be getting error #2.
Can you assist with that and let me know what I’m doing wrong?
@Yifat: to retrieve your MyBB root path, just put a PHP file in your forum directory containing the following code:
As for the other error: do your WP and MyBB installs share the same database? If not, you may need to enter the database data first. To confirm that you can also check if the plugins finds the forum sections near “Default post forum”.
@Victor: Mathias is right. And duplicating all that data is just pointless (see my point in this post: http://valadilene.org/2009/08/04/wordbb-0-1-beta-released/ )
ehm when you integrate the user? like jfusion for joomla.
now i’m installing wordbb.
Good work !
Just a word about features, I think it should be really cool if we can use a specific caterogry in the WordPress side and each new post in this category will be posted on the MyBB forum ?
@Montarion: actually it is already there. See “WordBB Categories” in your wp-admin.
