UPDATED: bbPress integrated…

Posted by nitestrike in : UPDATE, Dev, Hacks, Blogging , add a comment

As I said in my previous post I have the picture gallery integrated sufficiently that it will works nicely. Now I’ve been working off and on with getting the theme to play nice with bbPress over the last couple of weeks. It keeps spitting back an error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_header() in /…/forums/my-templates/header.php on line 27

This is the line where it calls WordPress which I have set in the config file.

require_once(’/…/wp-blog-header.php’);
define(’WP_BB’, true);

This is how I have it setup in my bbPress test site, using the default theme for WordPress. But that is where I stand at the moment. I’ll make sure to keep you all updated.

CONT’D: Gallery package found…

Posted by nitestrike in : Gen, Blogging , add a comment

I found a Photo Gallery package that I am going to try with the new web site I building for the family. The package is called Coppermine and am looking forward to how well it works. I also have found mention of a plug-in for Coppermine that will allow me to integrate it with the WordPress database. What pointed me to the Coppermine package was a mention via a post for the WP-Andreas09 Theme being ported for Coppermine. WP-Andreas09 being the theme I am looking to use on the site. So now I have the forums integrated and looks like I’ll be able to integrate the photo gallery too. Now I just need to find a Event/Cal package that I can integrate. This is one of the things I love about WordPress, all the add-ons and integration by the community so that WordPress is greatly expanded and even more useful.


Theme update

Posted by nitestrike in : Site Changes, Minor Ver, Blogging , add a comment

A new version of Regulus Theme for WordPress has been released and plan on trying it out on Dev-n-Progress. It my primary theme on most of my sites, so it is a pretty big change for me.


As mentioned a couple of weeks ago I have been working on an update to Regulus. There are only a couple of small changes to the main Regulus file. The big change is the addition of translations.

I have said it before, but this time I think I mean it (I hope). Regulus is now feature complete. There will be no more Regulus updates unless there are any major bugs to be fixed. I will however add new translations if any are sent to me. I want to work on other projects (a new theme?) so Regulus is now done.

 
You can find Regulus at Binary Moon, I find it a really great theme and highly suggest it for those out there looking for theme that has many customizable options and tweaks.

UPDATED: WordPress rollout across the AnderTek sites…

Posted by nitestrike in : UPDATE, Site Changes, Minor Ver , add a comment

So far the new version of WordPress 2.0.5 has been running well. Do not seem to be any anomalies popping up. So I will be rolling the update across the AnderTek family of sites.

Sites:


UPDATED: bbPress integrated…

Posted by nitestrike in : Site Changes, Dev, Blogging , add a comment

So I’m doing this a little bit out of order but I have installed bbPress and WordPress on a new site, yes I’m slowly ticking  up the AnderTek family of sites. I have them up and running with each having their own DB, but using WordPress DB for the user accounts. Just a little hint when using two Databases  make sure that you don’t have the password and host server names swapped, just does not seem to work :-) So for those ticking off points, I’ve got the two installed (WordPress / bbPress). I still have some integration like having them use the WP Theme in bbPress and to have a link to forum (bbPress). Since this is going to require some coding I’m not going to develop on Dev-n-Progress, just not going to be stable enough to allow.

To-Do:

Tally-ho

 

Update - 11/04/2006:
I have wrapped the WordPress Theme around bbPress install, which just took some tweaking of the bbPress Theme and referencing the WordPress install that it was associated with it.

Update - 11/06/2006:
They didn’t take much, and was quite a simple, I now have a static page that access the access the forums. I had not updated the options permalink options to date and title. Then the setting I found on the bbPress Support Forums setting the Page’s Post Slug = Folder name of the bbPress install folder. Side note you do need to have bbPress located in a sub-folder of the WordPress you are referencing from.
