The "Additional Info" is not too detailed. Here is the instructions on how to get the plugin (currently) on your bbPress site: 1. Download and upload the plugin to your bbPlugins directory. 2. Activate the plugin in the bbPress Admin section. 3. Follow the file movement instructions: In the "additional-files" folder (inside this Avatar Upload plugin directory) there is several files. These need to be moved elsewhere. <ul> <li> Move the entire "avatars/" folder to your bbPress root directory. (Including the "default.png" inside.) </li> <li> Move the "avatar-upload.php" to the bbPress root directory. </li> <li> Move the "avatar.php" (inside the "my-templates" folder) to your template(s) (theme(s)). Example: Move "my-templates/avatar.php" to "forums/bb-templates/kakumei/" (So it is like "forums/bb-templates/kakumei/avatar.php".) </li> </ul> I hope this helps someone :D chrishajer on "installing Bb Press for wordpress new here" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installing-bb-press-for-wordpress-new-here#post-16487 Tue, 27 May 2008 15:32:59 +0000 chrishajer 16487@http://bbpress.org/forums/ bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress.

Just to clarify, your MySQL client library that PHP is using is too old. Adding new extensions to PHP in windows is comparatively easy. Check the PHP manual for info on how to do it, but basically you should have the extension you need somewhere in your PHP folder already. It's just a matter of moving it to the right place. Perhaps a windows person can help out here? chrishajer on "Problems With MYSQL (FIRST STEPS)" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problems-with-mysql-first-steps#post-10882 Sun, 09 Sep 2007 03:25:37 +0000 chrishajer 10882@http://bbpress.org/forums/ 1. I know nothing about hosting bbPress on a Windows server. 2. The one thing that stands out to me is "Client API version 3.23.49" - I think bbPress requires at least version 4.0 MySQL. The Client API version is not always the same as the MySQL version installed, but maybe the problem is due to an old MySQL version? Do you have access to a control panel or a shell where you can access something like phpMyAdmin to check the actual MySQL version installed? motaboy21 on "Problems With MYSQL (FIRST STEPS)" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problems-with-mysql-first-steps#post-10880 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 23:46:36 +0000 motaboy21 10880@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hey, thanks! i created the file and its uploaded,...here you have the path: <a href="http://www.direngrey.ws/info.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.direngrey.ws/info.php</a> check that info... and tell me whats going wrong..

That error message comes up when the <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-settings.php#L6">installation cannot find either the mysql or mysqli extensions</a>. It's possible PHP was configured without those extensions. Create a file (maybe name it info.php or anything.php) and put this into it: <pre><code><?php phpinfo(); ?></code></pre> Go to the location of that file with a web browser (like <a href="http://www.yourserver.com/info.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.yourserver.com/info.php</a>) and that will echo a whole bunch of data back about the PHP installation. <a href="http://www.php.net/phpinfo" rel="nofollow">http://www.php.net/phpinfo</a> That would be the first step, seeing if your PHP was compiled with the proper modules for MySQL. motaboy21 on "Problems With MYSQL (FIRST STEPS)" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problems-with-mysql-first-steps#post-10877 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 21:28:46 +0000 motaboy21 10877@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hey, well, i ve got this msg: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for bbPress. And well, i have the config.php in the host already, with all the Database info on it. its alright, i checked more than twice, the file is on the correct folder (the only thing i did was change the dorectory name), but since i have 2 databases: one is version 4.x of MYSQL and the other 5.x i already tried with both Databases and i cannot make this happen...

So bb-rating is the one that is giving me a head ache. Has anyone else installed this plugin? Is it working for you? How did you install it? The instructions say to <code>Add bb-ratings.php, bb-ratings.css, bb-ratings.js, and star.gif to your /my-plugins/ directory.</code> But it doesn't seem to show up on the site.

I've searched and read the plugin instructions and I can't figure out how to get the plugins workin. I created the my-plugins directory and added the plugins inside and yet nothing. Is there supposed to be a plugins management area in the admin? How are they activated? I'm confused. I'm trying to add the following plugins (instructions included): allow images = Add the <code>allow-images.php</code> file to bbPress' <code>my-plugins/</code> directory. post notifications = Add <code>notification.php</code> to your <code>/my-plugins/</code> directory. bb-ratings = Add <code>bb-ratings.php</code>, <code>bb-ratings.css</code>, <code>bb-ratings.js</code>, and <code>star.gif</code> to your <code>/my-plugins/</code> directory.

Just kidding. I hate it when people dont post how. :) I left a ' in there after editing the config. It was unattached to anything. Hence the error.
