User Roles, WP & BBpress
-
Hey there, So i'm 99.99 ready to launch but having an issue with WordPress, BBpress, aMember
New users that signs up can't add a new topic to the forum, wordpress and bbpress are sharing the same database, I figured out what the issue is, When a new user gets added it doesn't assign it a role in BBpress i.e. Member, I have to manually set it each time so that the user can post.
I have set the user roles in the BBpress/Wordpress integration area, See > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/c905c801ef699307e0874064f7d379fb.png
But as you can see here the any new users do not get roles and I have to manually change the role, See BBpress user > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/0fd8d331e62c872981a29d2f256e25aa.png
But in wordpress the new member does get a role See > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/e436685a6d598b9178f93b7dfefa322f.png
Any ideas why its BBpress isn't assigning the user roles so that a user can post a new topic?

Are you running any WordPress plugins that affect your registration process?
-
I am using aMember http://www.amember.com/ that is the membership script users get created in this program when signing up, aMember is set to use subscriber as the default role see > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/456d96758a11f190be049b744a1a1d2d.png
So when the user gets an account in BBpress its is to inactive > http://helpdock.net/screenshots/25466e9bed803fb529b152ff074986e2.png

I'm guessing that's probably interfering with bbPress creating new roles properly then in the user's meta data. Try deactivating it and seeing registering works or not.
-
So I disabled aMember and activated the plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-bbpress-default-role/
Signed up for an account on http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=register
And the user got added to the BBpress user list but no role is set, its set to Inactive.
So its not aMember as far as I can tell. its something between WordPress and BBpress

That plugin shouldn't even be necessary. I'm not sure to be honest then, integration isn't my strong point.
-
Would it be in this file maybe? bb-admin/options-wordpress.php
http://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php
Basically I want to make the inactive user to be a member by default.

I'm afraid
options-wordpress.phpis just the bbPress/WordPress options page and a bit of code. bbPress functions are under the includes directories. -

That last plugin hasn't been updated since January and is only compatible up to wordpress 2.7. It only adds a default role to bbpress, but if you've matched your wordpress and bbpress roles, this isn't necessary, if it ever was.
A plugin should not be necessary in order for someone to register on a wordpress blog or on bbpress. Under the Settings/General you have a place to set the default role for new members; Subscriber, Administrator, Editor, Author, or Contributor for wordpress and those roles can be matched up to bbpress roles under Settings/WordPress Integration.
aMember.com mentions wordpress integration but not bbpress on their site, so I think that might be the issue.

It's happening to me. WPMU 2.8.4a+BB 1.0.2+BP 1.0.3 I'm going to try to use
http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/user-roles-table-for-bbpress/
I'll let you know, I have a lot of users so it might take a while...

I just found this: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wpmu-enable-bbpress-capabilities/
-
Having the same issues here, saw the plugin on wpmu-enable-bbpree-capabilities but I would wait a little until some one more experienced here would say something.
Basically the issue is that after installation and synch between bbpress and wordpress I see that the new users (except admin) have their roles assigned to Inactive.
Any help please ? -

I was trying to figure out where I downloaded this plugin, but the author's site isn't really up at the moment.
http://justintadlock.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/inactivetomember.zipWhat this does is check if the current user (once logged in) has a role. If he doesn't, it gives them the default bbPress role.
If anyone can find the original download link, mods, feel free to remove the link to my zip file.

Greenshady - here's the author of that plugin:
http://bbpress.org/forums/profile/draglyHere's where it came from I think:
http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1016I don't see that it was ever added as a plugin. It's worthwhile to leave it here I think.

@wpJunkie, did you find any kind of resolution? I'm launching a site with a very similar setup, also using aMember. It's been a challenge. I don't remember if I've tested the ability to post to forums yet. I was wondering if you're using the latest version of WPMU + BuddyPress (with bbPress built in) or if you were using one of the earlier versions of BuddyPress where bbPress was not built in with it.

For the info of anyone chancing up on this.
wrt The plugin that justin mentions above. After integrating bbpress and wp 3.0.1, i had my existing members showing up in bbpress as inactive. Not: inactive (no role)
I changed the plugin as follows: - added the else line
function inactive_to_member() { $userID = bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ); $user_obj = new BP_User( $userID ); $user = bb_get_user( bb_get_user_id( $userID ) ); if(empty($user->capabilities)) { $user_obj->set_role('member'); } else if (is_array($user->capabilities) and ($user->capabilities['inactive'])) $user_obj->set_role('member'); } add_action ('bb_head', 'inactive_to_member', 5, 0); -
