What version of WordPressMU?
I’m not sure that the latest version is compatible with bbPress yet. The recent Release Candiadte is though.
I think I’ll add this checklist to the documentation. It seems to have worked a treat for you guys.
Import/Export is being improved as part of a Google Summer of Code project. We will hopefully have some results from that to share by the end of it.
The basic idea is to create export plugins for other forum software which can export to a standard format. Then we will have one importer to import that standard format into bbPress.
Those ini_set() calls could go in your bb-config.php as well and should work just the same.
Having said that, I think this hack will only work on Windows Servers running IIS. But I’m not 100% sure about that.
Just yesterday I enabled Gravatars built in support for MonsterID, etc. in core in trunk and 0.9 branch.
It is in bb-includes/plugable.php
mdawaffe takes care of adding users to the i18n svn repo.
There’s a setting for this in the adm……
Oh good, you found it.
You would have to write a replacement for bb-includes/db.php to get bbPress to work with MSSQL.
Many plugins do use the gettext functions.
I know I always try to.
You have to make sure your database character set and collation set in the bb-config.php file exactly match your databases character set and collation.
> but it still seems to be breaking on some minor things (like adding a topic to your favorites while logged in)
Actually, that’s bbPress that’s broken, not your rules. Fixed in the next release 
If admin’s user_id is not 1, then adjust that value. Also your table may be called “wp_usermeta”:
INSERT INTO bb_usermeta VALUES (meta_value = 'a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}', meta_key = 'bb_capabilities', user_id = 1);
The bb_mail() function that sends emails uses the basic mail() function of PHP. That means that the web server needs to be able to send the mail. There is no built in way to set the mail server to anything else. This would be possible with a plugin, but I don’t think that plugin exists.
Try editing this line in your bb-config.php file.
define('BBDB_COLLATE', '');
.
To this:
define('BBDB_COLLATE', 'utf8_general_ci');
The password should not change if you do this. It just won’t tell you it has failed (it should though). That’s the real bug I think.
There is no email like that sent by anything in core bbPress. I don’t know of any plugins that do that either.
The only email sent by bbPress is the one containing the password for the new user.
@bobbyh
Do you have any data as to how much this improved things for you?
@chrishajer
Luckily the sort of people who turn off javascript also happen to be the sort of people who hate having new windows forced on them.
@jaydedman
I agree with chrishajer that forcing new windows is bad. If I want a new window or tab then I can make that happen myself. But when a new window is forced on me I can’t make it not do it.
Can you post the database section of your bb-config.php here (the first 15 or so lines). Turn anything sensitive, like the password, into ********.
I recall a ticket where mdawaffe was hesitant to put hooks in the templates.
Would you require hooks in the templates?
