If it's publicly accessible, you might want to do something like require authorization to even load the board. You don't want staff waiting for you to approve their registration and you don't want people accessing the board if it's not for their eyes. If you're on an Apache web server, you want to look up "basic auth", .htpasswd and .htaccess if you want to do this. myeggnoodles on "Is there an Approve Registration plugin?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/is-there-an-approve-registration-plugin#post-15496 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:28:54 +0000 myeggnoodles 15496@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I would also be very much interested in a "approve registration" plugin. I am building a forum for in-house use only so want to make sure that only staff sign up to use our forums :) samuli on "Is there an Approve Registration plugin?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/is-there-an-approve-registration-plugin#post-15477 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 10:21:03 +0000 samuli 15477@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I for one would appreciate the possibility for registration approval. I'm currently involved in a zero budget project to launch a forum on a sports related website that runs WordPress as CMS, and registration approval seems to become the last thing we need to solve before choosing bbPress (over Vanilla.) In this scenario, a registration approval plugin for bbPress would naturally be very handy. (I don't think we have skills to make our own plugin.) For what the approval thing is needed, then? For example, <a href="http://lussumo.com/community/">Vanilla discussion forum</a> uses registration approval in a way we would appreciate to copy for our project. The idea of people not registering an account but applying for one would suit our project really well. "Why do you want to join this forum?" is a question we would like people to answer before letting them post anything. A Finnish online magazine covering ice hockey, Jatkoaika.com, has <a href="http://keskustelu.jatkoaika.com">a forum</a> that has grown into a lively discussion community for over 13,000 registered users without losing its, well, usefulness. It's not only because of strict moderation of discussions, they require their users to apply for registration as well. Given that the topic is ice hockey (you know, that game with all the tackling and fighting and strong emotions) and most forum users are hockey fans ("We want blood!") and male ("We want blood!"), we consider that a great role model for this forum project of ours, even though we don't expect our forum to become as popular (and we are not about ice hockey.) (In what comes to our project, we might still decide to NOT having approval for registration. There are advantages in also not having that, of course.) _ck_ on "Is there an Approve Registration plugin?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/is-there-an-approve-registration-plugin#post-15474 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:48:37 +0000 _ck_ 15474@http://bbpress.org/forums/ If you are just trying to filter out spam bots, try my Human Test: <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/</a> Someone would have to explain the need for registration approval to me before I would bother making such a plugin. iclaude on "Is there an Approve Registration plugin?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/is-there-an-approve-registration-plugin#post-15443 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:00:22 +0000 iclaude 15443@http://bbpress.org/forums/ hi! i was wondering if someone made an plugin by now ?

I messed around with the code just enough to get what I needed working, here are the changes I made: Starting with the function bb_send_pass function in bb-includes/registration-functions.php: I added an optional third parameters, so the function signature now looks like: <code> function bb_send_pass( $user, $pass, $toAdmin = false ) { </code> If the toAdmin flag is set I want this email to go to me, not the requesting user. So, just above the "$message = ..." line, I added this: <code> $recipient = bb_get_user_email( $user->ID ); $rawRecipient = $recipient; if ($toAdmin) $recipient = 'myemail@example.com'; </code> I'm sure there is a better way to grab an administrator's email, but like I said, I don't know anything about bbPress... And what's this about $rawRecipient? To make my life easier, I'm also including the email address in the email's body (so I can forward it to the correct person without having to look up their info again). I did this by adding "Your email:" to the "$message = ..." line: <code> $message = __("Your username is: %1\$s \nYour password is: %2\$s \nYour email is: %4\$s \nYou can now log in: %3 \$s \n\nEnjoy!"); </code> And then including "$rawRecipient" as the 4th parameter to the sprintf call at the end of the function. Again, you could get fancy here (only include the email address if it's going to an admin, for example), but whatever, this works. :) Okay, with that function done, we just need to change the registration code that calls it. I went to the bb_new_user function in bb-includes/pluggable.php. Just before that function returns there's an "if ( defined ('BB_INSTALLING') )" check. The else case calls bb_send_pass (the function we just changed). Add a third parameter (sending 'true'), and the registration code should now send an email to you instead of the newly registered user. As a final touch, I updated the registration success page (bb-templates/kakumei/register-success.php in my case), telling the user that an admin will verify their request and then email them. Hope this helps someone out. fel64 on "cookie sharing between wp and bb" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-sharing-between-wp-and-bb#post-12906 Thu, 27 Dec 2007 13:34:15 +0000 fel64 12906@http://bbpress.org/forums/ No. Unlike <code>'/bbpressfolder/'</code> (I presume), <code>'wordpressuser'</code> and <code>'wordpresspass'</code> are not placeholders for your actual value: they are the literal values you will have there. Check your wordpress cookie; those are what they use. A part of the structure is: <pre><code>wordpressuser_[[site-unique hash]]=[[your username]] wordpresspass_[[site-unique hash]]=[[hash of your password]]</code></pre> With his settings, bb should now be using that too. kaolin on "cookie sharing between wp and bb" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-sharing-between-wp-and-bb#post-12904 Thu, 27 Dec 2007 09:12:46 +0000 kaolin 12904@http://bbpress.org/forums/ doesn't that just make it so anyone who goes to bbpress can work as you? italways on "cookie sharing between wp and bb" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-sharing-between-wp-and-bb#post-12880 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 20:34:22 +0000 italways 12880@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi, livibetter Thanks!

I added "$bb->cookiepath = '/';" in the configure.php, but it does not make any difference, then I check my cookie, and find something interesting, when I logged in WP, it did not create any cookie at all, but when I logged bbpress, it creates cookie for mysite.com, probably that is the reason caused the problem, how do you think? thanks! livibetter on "cookie sharing between wp and bb" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-sharing-between-wp-and-bb#post-12876 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 15:05:18 +0000 livibetter 12876@http://bbpress.org/forums/ yes. I think you only need <pre><code>$bb->cookiepath = '/';</code></pre> If this is not working, please check your browser's cookies. See what WordPress and bbPress send to you with what host and path. If you not sure what to check, try to clean cookies, then log in WordPress and bbPress. italways on "cookie sharing between wp and bb" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-sharing-between-wp-and-bb#post-12875 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 13:59:14 +0000 italways 12875@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi, livibetter yes, $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl set as <a href="http://mysite.com" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.com</a> do you mean this link: <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-domain-settings?replies=4" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-domain-settings?replies=4</a> livibetter on "cookie sharing between wp and bb" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-sharing-between-wp-and-bb#post-12868 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 03:11:36 +0000 livibetter 12868@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Are <code>$bb->wp_home</code> and <code>$bb->wp_siteurl</code> set as <code><a href="http://mysite.com" rel="nofollow">http://mysite.com</a></code>?

But <code>/home/index.php</code> isn't. except <code>index.php</code>, the first three files are not in bbPress; and you say you have clean up bbPress files. So, DID YOU DO AN OVERLAP INSTALL??? If so, just download WordPress package, and extract <code>index.php</code> from it, then put it into <code>/home</code>. livibetter on "cookie sharing between wp and bb" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-sharing-between-wp-and-bb#post-12854 Sun, 23 Dec 2007 04:51:59 +0000 livibetter 12854@http://bbpress.org/forums/ @italways, was you installing WordPress and bbPress in this directory hierarchy: WordPress: /wordpress bbPress: /wordpress/bbpress goldfiinger on "(Installation Problem) Help , it's gone all wrong!" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-its-gone-all-wrong#post-12852 Sun, 23 Dec 2007 01:24:20 +0000 goldfiinger 12852@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Sorry if i didn't make myself clear, i deleted all the bb files.

That would be the first step, well before installing bbPress. For the record, bbPress should be in a subdirectory of your WordPress installation if you're going to try and integrate it. So maybe you have your WordPress at /var/www/goldfiinger/home/, and if so, you would put bbPress at /var/www/goldfiinger/home/bbpress/. goldfiinger on "(Installation Problem) Help , it's gone all wrong!" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-its-gone-all-wrong#post-12846 Sat, 22 Dec 2007 17:50:25 +0000 goldfiinger 12846@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi , well today i decided to try and install bbpess and integrate it into my wordpress site. The quick instructions seemed simple, now on reflection a little to simple. Basically I copied everything from the bb zip file into the same root folder my wp site lives in. Then errors started to appear , so i thought well I'll just delete everything and try and use some more in depth instructions. So I've now deleted every file I copied into the root file from the bb zip and the config.php file i also put in their which the instructions asked me to do. I thought once i had removed everything my site would just start working again as i thought it would be in the same state as this morning before I thought about bb. But you guessed it, it now doesn't work. :( My site is <a href="http://the3rdplace.co.uk/home/" rel="nofollow">http://the3rdplace.co.uk/home/</a> Error I'm getting is 403 Forbidden Plus Forbidden You don't have permission to access /home/ on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I don't really know enough to know where to start in correcting things. How i wish i had a back up :( (i don't) Question is what have I done wrong , but more importantly for now how do i go about correcting things ?

You would have one installation in a directory like /forums/ then you create subforums in your admin panel. You would NOT create multiple <code>$bb_table_prefix =</code> lines - that wouldn't work. chrishajer on "multiple forums in a single database - Change prefix to what?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/multiple-forums-in-a-single-database-change-prefix-to-what#post-12758 Tue, 18 Dec 2007 20:11:39 +0000 chrishajer 12758@http://bbpress.org/forums/ If you want multiple forums, you need to do multiple installations, and each bbPress installation will be in a directory of its own, and the config.php in each individual directory should have a unique table prefix, as Sam suggested, like bb1_, bb2_. In that case, each forum would be access with a different URL as well. Maybe your site is at <a href="http://www.website.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com</a> . A normal bbPress installation would be in something like <a href="http://www.website.com/forums/" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/forums/</a> or <a href="http://www.website.com/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/bbpress/</a> . To have multiple forums, you would access them like this: <a href="http://www.website.com/forum1/" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/forum1/</a> <a href="http://www.website.com/forum2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/forum2/</a> <a href="http://www.website.com/forum3/" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/forum3/</a> or <a href="http://www.website.com/football/" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/football/</a> <a href="http://www.website.com/baseball/" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/baseball/</a> <a href="http://www.website.com/hockey/" rel="nofollow">http://www.website.com/hockey/</a> and the associated directories on the server would be /var/www/htdocs/yourname/football/ /var/www/htdocs/yourname/baseball/ /var/www/htdocs/yourname/hockey/ If you just want multiple forums or subforums in your bbPress installation, you just need to install one time, then set up the forums/subforums within bbPress. You don't need multiple forum installations.
