From the svn help: <pre><code>If PATH is omitted, the basename of the URL will be used as the destination.</code></pre>   That means it creates "trunk" for you, which you don't want. Just delete the <code>trunk</code> directory and cd into the forum directory again, and run this whole thing: <code>svn co <a href="http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/" rel="nofollow">http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/</a> .</code> There is a / then a [space] then a period at the end there. That will put it into the current directory with no trunk directory being created. patung on "SVN procedure for checking out bbPress?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/svn-procedure-for-checking-out-bbpress#post-18682 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:49:44 +0000 patung 18682@http://bbpress.org/forums/ "Just to be sure, I'm starting fresh so I should bash this: mkdir forum cd /forum svn co <a href="http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/" rel="nofollow">http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/</a> ." ___________ I just did that, it worked, but now what I have is a folder called "trunk" in my /forum/ folder.

You can change them to something else if you like, but make sure they are different for WordPress, bbPress, and anything else you might install in that database. Integration does not require the same table prefix, and using the same table prefix means bbPress will try to use WordPress tables (of the same name) that have already been created. laran on "WP/BB Integration Admin problem" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpbb-integration-admin-problem#post-17113 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:12:49 +0000 laran 17113@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I got my wordpress working again by making the following change. I changed this: a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;} to this: a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;} Now I think I've got to figure out how to undo the bbpress installation and do it again properly. I too suppose I didn't read the instructions carefully enough. In my case, I want to integrate wordpress and bbpress. So I thought I was supposed to have the tables names be the same. so1o on "Is there an Approve Registration plugin?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/is-there-an-approve-registration-plugin#post-16270 Fri, 16 May 2008 01:49:48 +0000 so1o 16270@http://bbpress.org/forums/ ok.. here it is <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/</a> Trent on "first step > Integration with WordPress" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-step-gt-integration-with-wordpress#post-15960 Sun, 04 May 2008 07:52:52 +0000 Trent 15960@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Done!

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'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 ?

Unfortunately, I don't have the time. Sooo, if anyone does have the time and interest, a very useful plug-in would place a button at the bottom of every post that says something like "Report Abuse". If someone sees spam in a post or foul language, etc., they click on this link and a report is sent to the moderator. This is used in many large forums I use and could help control misuse of a bbPress forum.

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. eSports on "FAQ" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/faq#post-12834 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 20:57:03 +0000 eSports 12834@http://bbpress.org/forums/ @Roma Your host should have it turned on in Apache.
