I don't have the admin setting that is in the file that comes up with the link on the integration settings page for wp. If it isn't there how am I supposed to give the setting to bbpress? I was able to find everything else. That setting isn't in any of the three WP-MU sites I've installed bbpress alpha 2 on. They're all using 2.6.2 or 2.6.3.</p> <p>2. As keymaster, I cannot undelete a thread. I just get an error saying "An unidentified error has occurred."</p> <p>3. The "new topic" link is active even when no one is logged in. This link shouldn't appear if no one is logged in. I normally get a 404 error page when I click on it without being logged in.</p> <p>4. One one site, I couldn't start a thread. as soon as it was submitted, I was told it was deleted or moderated or something like that. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-bbpress#post-16200 Tue, 13 May 2008 14:01:07 +0000 sambauers 16200@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I will be working on auto-generating the .htaccess file soon.

After upgrading, links from my web sites to the bbPress section no longer worked and generated a 404 error. I looked at the links within the bbPress site and they looked fine. For instance, a "sticky" topic I link to from all my web sites is "http://www.masterdata.com/forum/bbpress/topic/62" (I copied the shortcut with a right click on the link). It looks correct, but it does not work. Not even within the bbPress section and certainly not from the outside coming in.</p> <p>So I switched the setting on my "Pretty permalink type" to "None .../forums.php?id=1". With this setting, everything once again worked. I left it this way, but these are definitely not "pretty" links. The link to the same topic is now "http://www.masterdata.com/forum/bbpress/topic.php?id=62". BTW, "Name based ..." links do not work either.</p> <p>OK, that is the first issue. There are more and I will detail those tomorrow, each one in its own separate topic as suggested above.</p> <p>Let me, however, compliment everyone who has been involved in this project and WordPress. Both efforts are truly beyond belief in terms of what you get by simply downloading some code from the internet. ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT! So good, in fact, you spoil us to the point where we expect everything to be close to perfect at all times. That is a bit irrational and the experience with both programs should be graciously appreciated. Thank you for your work!</p> <p>Best</p> <p>L.

I can tell you that the developers are hard at work based on the traffic generated on the development list. But if they don't know of the problems, they can't fix them. So, please, list your problems in the forum, preferably one post per problem if they are unrelated, with a good subject for each problem.</p> <p>Some problems undoubtedly have solutions that have already been incorporated into the trunk release. Some will be bugs that need to be addressed in <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/">trac tickets</a>. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-bbpress#post-16127 Sun, 11 May 2008 19:25:19 +0000 mdata 16127@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I upgraded from the previous .8 version to the new .9.0.2 version. After struggling to get it to work at all, it now seems to be running in a stable manner (?). I must admit, I am more than a little disappointed in this new version. It is full of bugs that must be worked around and require numerous link revisions from my various web sites to get to the proper pages.</p> <p>There are so many bugs, I don't know where to begin. If you want me to, I will begin to list them as encountered. If you do not reply to this post, I will assume your priorities are somewhere else other than smoothing out this version.</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>Lauren </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/incorrect-handling-of-apostrophes#post-14475 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 03:16:56 +0000 chrishajer 14475@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>What plugins are you using?

I am using bbPress version 0.8.3.1. Everything works fine. No issues.</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>By the way, I heard of WordPress for the first time on Sunday, found it a few minutes later, installed it a few minutes after that and input two years of articles I had written that same day. I installed a few plug-ins the next day and then found bbPress. Installed that the same day (Monday). It was working fine and found a matching template for both WordPress and bbPress the next day (Wednesday). With very little tweaking (mostly my errors) and no visits to the WordPress or bbPress forums for help, I am up and running with a very presentable, professional looking, and fully functional blog/user forum. Absolutely incredible!!! I am notifying my subscribers later this morning about their new resource via email. Not bad for four days of work.</p> <p>Thank you good folks behind WordPress and bbPress! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/getting-around-50-fake-profiles-set-up-a-day-help#post-13978 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 17:27:15 +0000 hitec7 13978@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>are u sure _ck_ ?<br /> how about the hired Chinese ? :) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/getting-around-50-fake-profiles-set-up-a-day-help#post-13957 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 11:17:53 +0000 _ck_ 13957@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>My solution doesn't need template editing and has stopped all such activity on my site:</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/getting-around-50-fake-profiles-set-up-a-day-help#post-13954 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 04:14:27 +0000 chrishajer 13954@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>With all those links in the posts, it appears that akismet is not working.

We're getting around 50 fake profiles a day.</p> <p>We're being told by several sources that this is a bug in the current version of bbpress and there is no solution for it. We simply can't accept this, that bbpress would be open to such severe bugs.</p> <p>Right now we're manually deleting profiles and we're seriously considering abandoning this plattform for a more secure foums solution that works with Wordpress.</p> <p>Do you have any insight into how to stop them from creating bogus profiles? Right now for some reason they are all having their birthday as Feb 2, 2008. </p> <p>You can see some of the profiles here: </p> <p><a href="http://www.feastoffools.net/community/profile.php?id=2107" rel="nofollow">http://www.feastoffools.net/community/profile.php?id=2107</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/having-problems-fixing-wordpress-bugs#post-13910 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 09:03:06 +0000 feastoffools 13910@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi there, (not sure if this is an appropriate place to post this.)</p> <p>We're looking for someone to hire to help us fix some bugs on our Wordpress/Bbpress integrated site.

The first problem I've come across has been an error with $bb_cache-&gt;get_forums() - the array it was returning when cached was 0, instead of containing the forum ids.</p> <p>I fixed it by a simple reversal of the sections of code within the get_forums() function in cache.php:</p> <pre><code>$forums = (array) $bbdb-&gt;get_results(&quot;SELECT * FROM $bbdb-&gt;forums $where ORDER BY forum_order&quot;); if ( $this-&gt;use_cache &#38;&#38; $normal &#38;&#38; $forums ) $this-&gt;write_cache(BBPATH . &#39;bb-cache/bb_forums&#39;, $forums); $_forums = array(); foreach ( $forums as $forum ) $_forums[(int) $forum-&gt;forum_id] = $bb_forum_cache[(int) $forum-&gt;forum_id] = $forum;</code></pre> <p>After reversing them (the above are their original positions), I then made sure the write cache line was using $_forums, instead of $forums.</p> <p>No idea if this may have other consequences I've yet to unearth, but I thought it may be worth noting here.</p> <p>I've also used the "load all options" function from wordpress as a basis for creating a global array containing all topicmeta options. By default (even with cache enabled, although maybe I've missed a setting), there were several calls to to topicmeta, whereas only one was really required. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-bbpress-plugin-081-1#post-8107 Sat, 16 Jun 2007 09:12:59 +0000 peter-b 8107@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Sorry - this was a duplicate - mod please delete) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-bbpress-plugin-081-1#post-8106 Sat, 16 Jun 2007 09:10:29 +0000 peter-b 8106@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Worked for me, although initially highlighted another @strpos error in the functions.php script.</p> <p>However setting is bozo to 1 in the admin pages creates the appropriate row in the meta table for the user, setting it back to zero deletes the row, rather than setting the value to zero (which is presumably why the box remains blank) while it works, it seems an odd way of doing it!</p> <p>(Just realised I am being critical of someone else's work without the ability to do it better myself - my apologies - I suppose I ought to get down a book on PHP and try and actively contribute rather than just fault find...) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-bbpress-plugin-081-1#post-7687 Mon, 28 May 2007 02:03:22 +0000 JeremyVisser 7687@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Perhaps you should name this the "bbPress 0.8.1 Tuneup Plugin" in line with <a href="http://txfx.net/">Mark Jaquith</a>. :) </p>
