Will bbpress have an option for members to have signatures, where they can add text or links?

I’m looking at starting a new forum, having used SMF & PHPBB forums in the past, but i really like wordpress so have installed a ‘test’ site using bbpress, and am really impressed, but its an important feature that i’m need to be installed.

andyro,

It looks like you need to set up pretty permalinks.

[lordcoder]

Hi ,

how to determine if its a member or an admin ( by admin , i mean the administrator and keymaster levels ) ?

if not , where can i find a good documentation about bbpress template tags like wordpress’ one ?

TFYT .

[andyro]

I have bbpress loaded inside wp (like this: (wp/bbace/’). All bb pages show, except when user profile is clicked on (the respective users from worpress showed up automatically) I get:

The requested URL /wp/bbace/profile/2 was not found on this server.

Or when a topic is posted (the post goes up) but I get this error:

The requested URL /wp/bbace/topic/3 was not found on this server.

On the server side, there is nothing under ‘topic’ or ‘profile’ – should this be looking for a .php script, or something in the mysql side of things?

Any pointers would be appreciated…to view the site:

Thanks in advance!

Theere is this,

it might be a little old, but I think it is relevant. MediaWiki / WP /bbPress

[mrjain]

very nice design. A couple years ago on stumbled onto WordPress and glad I did. I feel the same way about bbPress, but i’m sure it will be rock solid and full of features a lot quicker. I was looking at phpBB, but I’m going to implement bbPress.

take care,

here is the whole config file (partially edited to protect passwords etc)

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘myDBname’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘mySQLname’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘muSOLpass’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://acd.us/cms/bbpress&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = ‘/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Member Forum’;

// This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘webmaster@acd.us’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = ’30’;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = ’60’;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = ‘-5’;

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = ‘my key #’;

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave the rest as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix.

$bb->wp_home = ‘acd.us/cms’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

Thats neat. Makes my eyes water with joy.

Everything has been slowly gravitating toward WordPress on my site, i can’t wait until everything i need is right in that admin panel and I can kiss major PHP overhauls goodbye.

[devils_advocate]

“Are you integrating this with WP, or is it a standalone install?”

I’m integrating bbpress into a wordpress installation…

“Please tell me the following settings:

$bb->domain

$bb->path

$bb->wp_prefix

$bb->wp_home

$bb->wp_siteurl

(sorry) where would I find this information in bbpress?

DA

[devils_advocate]

Sure.

I guess I’m confused what the plug ins are supposed to do and how they act within wordpress and bbpress.

I opened up and looked at both plug-ins (changed the “.php” to “.html”) to see.

And I realized that what I’m seeing in the installation pages in bbpress IS the plugin content of “display-name.php” preceding the regular Installation content.

And in WordPress – when I “activate” the “bbpress-integration.php” plug-in I can no longer browse any part of my WordPress blog – the only page I get – regardless of where I try to go in the wordpress blog shows me the contents of the “bbpress-integration.php” plugin. I’m looking at a Trac page.

With the wiki link, etc…all links not working because they are using my domain as root of the url.

so – I’ve been trying to make this installation work without the plug-ins…and I get stuck at the first bbPress screen [login in the header all correct; my first post -1hour<–saw the post on this> etc] and am not able do anything from there.

so far I’ve inched through a little progress every 2nd or third installation try…but right now I’m stuck

I’ll try your first suggestion – I figured the other one “true” NOT! out on my own….

thanks!

Having the same difficulties. You can check what I mean by registering on my website and trying to log on:

http://gopokewiids.com/boards

I set up an integrated bb and wordpress message board, and the integration is definitely working. Sadly, I can’t log in at all. No idea what’s wrong. I log on as the admin, and it just goes back to the index.php as if I never logged in. If I try logging in with false info, then it says: Login failed, this username does not exist. It’s defintely running some sort of script after I press submit, but it isn’t logging me in

Suggestions? Mdawaffe, you seem to have a good undertanding, being the key master and all

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bb_current_user() in forums/bb-settings.php on line 146

I got the exact same kind of error yesterday while I was trying to install wordpress 2.0.5 but was able to install 2.0.4 no problem then upgrade to 2.0.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Some of your settings aren’t quite right.

$bb->domain = ‘http://domain.com&#8217;;

$bb->path = ‘/cms/forums/’;

$bb->wp_prefix = ‘wp_’; // or whatever the prefix is. It should not be true

Try that on, and let us know.

Also, I’m not sure what you mean by the links being broken in the bbpress-integration WordPress plugin. Can you explain it differently?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

I don’t know about other wiki software, but I happen to know that the blicki plugin for WP is under active development.

http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/blicki/trunk/

I couldn’t find a real webpage for it yet. Soon, I’m sure.

[devils_advocate]

also happening is: when I click on the link “Your First Post” (or somesuch) I get this error…

“Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://mydomain.com/cms/bbpress/topic.php?id=1”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.”

anyone know why this is happening?

[xxp]

Does WordPress or WordPress MU directly integrate with any Wiki engines?

How about bbPress?

I see that you guys use Trac, so I’m guessing that the answer currently is “no”, but just want to go to the source to be sure.

Thanks.

“directly integrate” = e.g.:

– share user database and authentication

– share tags

– have directly shareable presentation modules for CMS purposes (e.g., for nav blocks, ad blocks, footer blocks)

– share a common design / performance philosophy &/or strategy.

[devils_advocate]

HOW do you make the plugins work?

the “display-name.php” file adds a header of broken links and mod info (which I don’t understand) to the beginning of every install page but otherwise appears to not do anything.

and the “bbpress-integration.php” plug-in for WordPress (I’m using 2) adds the same “Trac” information at the top of every loaded WP page…(!!!)

very frustrating…

help?

[meeciteewurkor]

Ok, well that fixed the -1 year “freshness” problem. Now the post times are incorrect by 1hour.

I’m in -5 gmt timezone and my server is in -6gmt timezone.

One issue fixed and another created. I seem to remember having this problem with WordPress a loooooooong time ago. Like pre 1.0 ago. Can’t remember how that was dealt with.

Anyway, I’ll keep tinkering until I figure it out. Thanks for the help, AphelionZ.

[devils_advocate]

Ok. found a css sheet, a new header and image files from Fernando_Graphicos <http://fernando.dubtribe.com&gt; and got the forum up and running but it won’t let me add a forum, doesn’t recognize me as admin [after initial screen] etc…

??

help?

[meeciteewurkor]

aah.. ok, thanks. I tried everything but double quotes..

It’s obviously working now, because now the warning message is gone now.

thanks!

[Nola1974]

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)

[meeciteewurkor]

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.

[devils_advocate]

Ok….did that – got the install up – but am STILL not getting the css (or stylesheet) to load.

Am seeing non-styled HTML – and most important – when I click a link to go to the first post, or login, I’m taken to the front page of the WordPress blog (posts and all)…

no sign of bbPress…..

what’s going on do you think?

[jhotchkiss]

I have successfully installed a WordPress blog and am trying to add a bbpress. Upon installation, and going to the install.php file, I get nothing but a white screen. Any ideas?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

If bb_ really is your bbPress table prefix, and that is what is entered int the integration plugin page, users registering through bbPress should be given WordPress’ default role upon logging into WP for the first time.

So I’m not sure what’s wrong exactly, but it may be caused by the stuff you’re doing manually (as you expect).
