Congrats and thanks for all the hard work Sam.

I have the code managed through svn and after a quick svn switch http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/tags/1.0-alpha-2 (followed by an svn update for good measure) everything appears normal.

(+1 beer on Sam et al next visit)

Heh, you know I had started to comment about the xmlrpc stuff but checked myself. Personally I’ll be using the delete option. Those hackers tend to find the bugs far faster than we do and the #1 security vulnerability on WordPress for years was the xmlrpc.php

Still, it will be interesting to see how people use it in the real world as it’s a powerful feature. I believe bbPress can now claim it’s the first forum to have such functionality.

Just in time for bbPress’s 2nd birthday too…

I am using 1.0 Alpha

@sambauers

Is it not so straightforward to upgrade from 0.9.0.2 then?

I’m getting the same error as satranc when attempting a fresh install of 1.0 alpha 2.

Thanks much, that did the trick… though it seems to be missing bb-includes/backpress. I just copied it from the alpha2 available for download here and everything seems to be working.

Yes it does – I installed aplha 2 in about 10 minutes and the login works. I need to test the registration but I’m sure that this will be OK.

You add all your wordpress settings when you install alpha 2 (it’s all form based).

Hi,

Installed a zip package of alpha 2 and it went OK and as I couldn’t quite get the logins to work for WP and bbP and tried installing it again.

I saw a few messages about install packages not being complete so I downloaded this second one.

Now when I try to install it, on the final screen it give the following PHP error – but the install seems OK.

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /home/1295/htdocs/www.example.com/public_html/forums/bb-admin/class-install.php on line 1021

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/1295/htdocs/www.example.com/public_html/forums/bb-admin/class-install.php:1021) in /home/1295/htdocs/www.example.com/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.php on line 2902

I tried a few times but got the same thing, then I comared my first and second packagas and saw that bbpress/bb-admin/class-install.php is very slightl different from line 264

The file in the first package has 2 if statements and the second has 1 if statement as follows:

class-install.php from package 1:

if (!defined(‘BB_INC’)) {

// Define BB_INC

// Tell us to load includes because bb-settings.

php was not loaded

// bb-settings.php is generally not loaded on

steps -1, 0 and 1 but

// there are exceptions, so this is safer than

just reading the step

$this->load_includes = true;

define(‘BB_INC’, ‘bb-includes/’);

}

if (!defined(‘BACKPRESS_PATH’)) {

define(‘BACKPRESS_PATH’, BB_PATH . BB_INC . ‘

backpress/’);

}

class-install.php from package 2:

if (!defined(‘BACKPRESS_PATH’)) {

// Define BACKPRESS_PATH

// Tell us to load includes because bb-settings.

php was not loaded

// bb-settings.php is generally not loaded on

steps -1, 0 and 1 but

// there are exceptions, so this is safer than

just reading the step

$this->load_includes = true;

define(‘BACKPRESS_PATH’, BB_PATH . BB_INC . ‘

backpress/’);

}

But the weird thing is that when I put back the first class-install.php I still get the error. I’m not too fussed as the install goes OK but it could be quite off putting if users get this PHP error.

Thank you for your hard work and congrats on the progress. I’ll be Upgrading tomorrow.
