In reply to: Image attachments to BB Press
Did you try installing the image attachment plugin? I suspect it still works, but if it doesn’t, you can post the errors here or in the plugin forum and it should be easy enough to fix.
In reply to: Admin rightsWould this plugin help?

In reply to: Oops Broken Support-Forums PluginI would recommend adding a comment to the support forum for the plugin rather than posting it here.
In reply to: Where is front-page.php?bbPress will use the stock files for any template file not in your template folder. So, if you have a folder called bb-templates/custom, you could conceivably have just one file in there (say front-page.php) and then that file would override the stock files, but all other files would be used from the stock template.
*I think* – that’s how it used to work anyway.
I recommend using the Firefox browser with the insanely awesome Web Developer Toolbar from Chris Pederick. You can make the changes on the fly, be sure they take, then update your CSS.
In reply to: Typepad AntispamA quick search of the forum indicates it hasn’t been talked about here before. That doesn’t mean no one has done it, but it hasn’t been brought up here before.
To be able to call your WordPress header and footer, you will need access to the WordPress functions
get_header()andget_footer(). To have access to WordPress functions, you need to include WordPress:https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func
You can skip the stuff about user integration and cookies if all you want to do it include your WordPress header and footer.
In reply to: Add event calendar to bbpress sidebarYou would need to include WordPress in your bbPress installation to have access to all the WordPress functions.

Sharing the database does not allow you to use WordPress functions from within bbPress.
In reply to: bbPress Database ErrorInterestingly, I copied and pasted your SQL query from above, and used it on my installation unchanged, and it did not error out, it just return the expected results.
SELECT t.*, MIN(p.post_id) as post_id, p.post_text, 0 AS search_score FROM bb_topics AS t JOIN bb_posts as p ON ( t.topic_id = p.topic_id ) WHERE t.topic_status = '0' AND p.post_status = '0' AND ( (t.topic_title LIKE '%ja%') OR p.post_text LIKE '%ja%' ) GROUP BY t.topic_id ORDER BY t.topic_time DESC LIMIT 20See the results here.
This is an old bbPress installation as well, 1.0-alpha from over a year ago.
In reply to: bbPress Database Error1. Has this installation always been like this, or did something change recently?
2. What version are you running and when was it installed?
3. Did you change hosting or make any other changes to the installation?
4. Did your host upgrade PHP or MySQL or your .htaccess file or something else that would have affected this?
5. What plugins are installed, and does disabling them help with the error?
6. Does the problem described in the first post happen only when searching, or is that from something else and you now have the problem described in the last post as well?
7. Does the problem happen when using the stock theme?
You don’t have a normal run-of-mill type problem that can be easily and simply solved, so people are going to need more info to help.
In reply to: wordpress not allowing bb-admin accessDoes this problem happen with the stock theme? Maybe it’s a problem with the customization?
Where do you log in? Normally at http://lifelightcam.com/bbpress/ there is a spot to login or register, then logging in as keymaster allows access to the admin panel.
If you log in as keymaster, do you have a link to Admin your forum or can you access http://lifelightcam.com/bbpress/bb-admin/ ?
It doesn’t look like you are using permalinks at all for bbPress, which is fine.
BTW, I don’t think this has anything to do with WordPress.
In reply to: bbPress Database ErrorWhat do you have to do to get that error to show up? Installation, view profile, post a new topic, post a reply, add a tag, etc…
In reply to: A bit of advice neededIf you are installing fresh, sure, just delete those. If you want, you can change the table prefix in your new bbpress installation. I forget where it is in the installation procedure, but maybe it’s under an option called “advanced database settings” or something? I think it was hidden unless you reveal it by clicking.
If bbPress finds the bb_ tables there already, I suspect it might just try to upgrade the database. That’s probably OK, but if you don’t need the old bbPress installation, I would just start from scratch with new tables.
In reply to: wordpress not allowing bb-admin access[edited out a stupid idea]
WAIT: update 26 minutes later. If you’re not logged in, trying to access /bbpress/bb-admin/ is SUPPOSED to redirect you to the home page of the forum. When you log in there as keymaster or administrator, you then have a link to
View your profile (Admin | Log out)– and in my installation, clicking Admin takes you to /bbpress/bb-admin/. You can also access the /bbpress/bb-admin/ URL directly, but only after logging in as keymaster. If that’s what’s happening, then that is correct.Is it possible you can’t log in on the home page of the forum as administrator or keymaster? Did that account lose privileges or something? Maybe you have a different problem. But direct access to /bbpress/bb-admin is prevented by design until you are logged in.
In reply to: Clicking on Topics takes me to WP home pageYou did not set up permalinks on your server, or the server does not support them. Turning them back to none makes the links work again, but you don’t have any sort of permalinks.
In reply to: A bit of advice neededI would install bbPress latest which is 0.9.0.2 and WordPress latest which is 2.5.1. The big change with WordPress 2.5.* and bbpress 0.9.* was with the cookies. If you have only a few test posts, I would just install WordPress fresh (or upgrade your WordPress installation) then install bbPress fresh. Integration is totally different now, no more plugins.
Good luck.
In reply to: phpbb to bbpress, easy exportIf you have direct access to the database with something like phpMyAdmin, you can view the existing posts. Sounds like the phpBB is not running now, otherwise I would just copy the text from there. Without the software running, you’re going to need to view the posts in the database and copy them from there and paste into bbPress. With a small number of posts, I wouldn’t bother with export and import, just copy them and post new at bbPress.
In reply to: New directory loses WordPress integrationDoes any of this help?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-sharing-between-wp-and-bb
I think since you’ve moved stuff around, you probably want to delete your cookies or try a new browser without any of the old cookies in it already.
In reply to: WordPress posts as topics on forumThat’s a problem with your host; they’ve disabled a php function. If you can’t change hosts, you are going to have to look into how the plugin uses that function and find a replacement. Maybe it’s as simple as hard coding the current working directory.
Taking a quick look through the plugin shows that the getcwd function is used only for an error message anyway. You can do without it and can just edit the file. The error message will not be as useful (since the error message uses getcwd) but you should be able to use it even if your host has getcwd() disabled.
In reply to: WordPress posts as topics on forumDoes this do what you’re looking for?
In reply to: New directory loses WordPress integrationI think the problem is related to the cookie paths.
In reply to: Error “Invalid tag or topic” when removing tagCan you post a URL where this can be seen in person?
In reply to: Getting A HostThere are literally millions of hosts. I am not going to recommend one. You need one that meets these basic requirements:
That’s about it. Read some web hosting forums, take the comments with a grain of salt, decide on your budget, then pull the trigger based on the information at hand.
In reply to: Allow Users to Edit Posts IndefinitelyTry it and see what happens? What’s the worst possible outcome from experimenting?
In reply to: Allow Users to Edit Posts IndefinitelyThe keymaster can always go in and edit any post. Your users could email any corrections to the keymaster. You don’t really want people going in and changing their words. With no limit, you have no control over the edits they can actually make and they would not be limited to grammar or spelling.
Did you try making any changes to the
$bb->edit_lockin the config and see the effect? 1440 is one day worth of minutes and 525600 is a year worth of minutes. I doubt there is any problem making a change like that, but you would need to try it to be sure. I just tried 525600 and I was able to edit some of my old (non-keymaster) posts.I wonder if -1 would allow them to be edited infinitely? Worth a try…
