Hi,
I currently have bbPress integrated with my WordPress install.
On top of that ... the WordPress site is restricted to registered users using a plug in called "Registered Only" By Carthik Sharma.
This works great for restricting my blog to a select group of users ... but now I need to hide the "forum" from anyone who is not a registered user on the blog site as well.
So ... for example ... right now ... if they are logged in to the WordPress blog site ... they will be authenticated and recognized by the bbPress forum as well.
BUT ... if a user went directly to the bbPress Forum site they would still see it ... the topics ... posts ... etc.
Can I also put the entire Form behind a login?
Can anyone follow my logic here : )

Wow... was four posts really necessary? And yeah, we follow your logic, and yes, I'm pretty sure this plugin can do just that.

ok ... installed "Forum Restriction 1.4" and "display-name.php" by Michael D Adams as suggested.
when I add an username and submit I get the following error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bb_update_option() in /home/3704/domains/sleeptalkin.com/html/blog/bbpress/my-plugins/forum-restriction.php on line 47

Sorry I've been AWOL. Are you adding the usernames or the display names? You need to use display names.

First of all thanks for your hard work on this plugin :) now on with the question.
I've installed your plugin version 1.4 and the display-name plugin, when I add a user to the field to restrict access only to the particular list of users and hit submit it seems not save what I have entered. For some reasons I've even had the complete forum disappear out of bbPress and only visible through phpmyadmin browsing the forum table.
After doing some chmoding I seemed to have fixed the disppearing of the whole forum from bbPress yet when I enter a single user or a list of users seperated by comma it seems to not save the information. It doesn't give any error messages at all only when I try to enter the display name and the username of admin which gives the message ERROR: admin is not a valid user name.
So it accepts valid display names and usernames it just doesn't save the information.
I'm using a couple plugins including the private forum, allow images, memberlist, privatemessage, forum moderators, categories patch and ofcourse display-name. Running version 0.8. It's also intergrated with Wordpress.
I'm clueless to what might be going on and hoping you might have some pointers on what to try.
Regards,
Tonny

I love this plugin!
A problem is that the keymaster isn't automatically included in the list of allowed users. After reinstalling, I tried to add the keymaster to the list of allowed users, and I got an error (not a valid user name). So after I restricted a forum, it "disappeared" since my keymaster wasn't in the list of allowed users, and this means I can never update the list of allowed users, etc. I created another user as an Administrator, but no Site Management capabilities. After changing that user's type to keymaster, I was able to update the list via that user.
It seems like all keymasters and perhaps administrators should automatically be included in the list of allowed users for every restricted forum... At least the primary keymaster for sure (ID=1).
FYI, I have Forum Restriction 1.5 with bbPress 0.8.1 and display_names 0.7.2. No wordPress. And I'm not actually using display names, so that plugin really just returns usernames.

One other little issue. When I had to reinstall bbPress, it gets an error because of this plugin (and I only have this one and display_names).
I had to delete forum-restriction.php from my-plugins, reinstall bbPress, and then copy forum-restriction.php back to my-plugins.The error:
bbPress database error: [Table 'czbb.czbb_topicmeta' doesn't exist]
SELECT meta_value FROM czbb_topicmeta WHERE topic_id = 0 AND meta_key = 'forum_restriction_db'

Found an anomaly, and here is the repro:
primary keymaster is admin; secondary keymaster is molly; member is sleepy.
While logged in as admin, restrict a forum with names: molly,sleepy
Forum disappears as expected (see above).
Restrict another forum with names: admin,molly,sleepy
Get "not a valid user name" error as expected (see above).
Clear user names for second forum, and click Submit.
Then the first forum that was restricted reappears - i.e., the restriction on that forum was erroneously removed.Using: Forum Restriction 1.5 with bbPress 0.8.1 and display_names 0.7.2. No wordPress.

Display names on the forum I'm setting up have spaces in them (they are real names - people's first and last names often). How do I set up this plugin to work with these types of names?

i have installed bbpress and the froum restriction plug in, but i can't see the admin interface.
i put it in /my-plugins/ and have bbpress .81 with bugfix installed. no other plugins nor wordpress.
of course the display-name plugin is installed, too.any idea?

i have reinstalled bbpress and now the forum restriction admin-interface appears. i didn't install the german localization, yet. maybe this is the reason why it didn't appear.
now i have the same problem like dld; i can't asigne the admin to the restrictet forums. and then they disapear. even with a secand keymaster admin "still doesn't exist".
and i can't write post. always shows the error:
Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in /home/www/kunden/fsj-community.de/wordpress/forum/my-plugins/forum-restriction.php on line 215
No recipients were listed.
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/kunden/fsj-community.de/wordpress/forum/my-plugins/forum-restriction.php:215) in /home/www/kunden/fsj-community.de/wordpress/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 166does somebody know help?
when will be the next update to the plugin?thx,

Love this plugin and have a need for it, but it is incompatible with bbpress 0.8.2.1. Hoping this can be updated soon, had to put all my private posts in deletion for now because my private forums are now visible to the public.
The admin page where you add usernames disappears, and it causes the heirarchy of forums to not show up.
