using wordpress.com akismet spam key?

  1. Howdy,
    just tinkering around with bbpress.
    In the config.php file it has this:
    '$bb->akismet_key = true;'

    How do I enter my key into that? Let's say my key is 12345678. How would the code look after inserting the key?
    thanks.

    oh, guess I could add that I get this in my dashboard everytime I try to put the key in:

    The API key you have specified is invalid. Please double check the '$bb->akismet_key' variable in your config.php file.

  2. Took me a bit to figure this out... it's not a true/false configuration.

    replace

    '$bb->akismet_key = true;'

    with

    '$bb->akismet_key = "123456789";'
    (123456789 being your key)

  3. aah.. ok, thanks. I tried everything but double quotes..
    It's obviously working now, because now the warning message is gone now.

    thanks!

  4. Double quotes is also inconsistent with the rest of config.php, which uses single quotes, throughout. I still can't tell if Aksimet is working because when I go to the Content area of the Admin panel at http://mysite.com/bbpress/bb-admin/admin-base.php?plugin=bb_ksd_admin_page
    all I get is the bbPress footer logo stuff.
