   You see, I have no SMTP server (or what ever is required to email the password), so the registration email will not send. This is a problem because then no one can register (and get their password)

   In bix I just printed the password (directly from the function that sends the password) to the top of the registration page (after submitting the details). I have not since been able to do this in desmond, and thus can only add users by the admin-add-user plugin.

   Can anyone help me?

   Looks like 3 days ago member:pravin was trying to see if this would work with .81. Maybe you can post in that thread or contact that member?

   That fix removes the function that emails the username and password, and displays it on screen instead. If you look at the patches, the lines with a - in front are removed, and the lines with the + are added.

   Argh! Ok, I tried it but on the first one (bb-includes/registration_functions.php) Gedit could not find the

   bb_send_pass( $user_id, $password );

   phrase so I could not change it to

   #bb_send_pass( $user_id, $password );

   ...all other things worked fine in what was found...

   This thread is pretty old. I doubt master501 is coming back around. Maybe you should start a new thread and ask for help there.

   I also believe there is code on the WordPress side that uses 3rd party mailers like gmail or yahoo to send passwords. This could be easily adapted to bbPress as a plugin.

    @chrishajer

    Thanks for that... I've been meaning to look that up, but looks like you did it for me =)

    That plugin didn't work quite right for me, but I was able to hack together my own hard-coded version for both bbpress and wordpress.

    Thanks!
