I have decided to hold off on upgrading to WordPress 3.0 because of my plugins and my fear of breaking something.
Has anyone using bbpress upgraded to 3.0 yet? Possible?
The closing tag isn’t required.
The problem is that WordPress declare a global variable called $user_email and in bbPress core file register.php they use the double-dollar notation (variable variables) that are evil. EVIL. So a $$key become a $user_email that is already defined and than not assigned and blah blah blah.
I’ve built a plugin for you. It’s called zaerl WordPress 3 fix. http://pastebin.com/JhJzLjvQ
Have a nice day.
Well you kinda beat around my question bush. I was basically asking if official development WAS GOING TO CONTINUE or not. Not much has changed with bbpress in the past year other than the plug-ins released by the public. The moral around here is not the best right now. Ive done some reading. I know its open source. You guys should group together and just fork it right now and say good bye to the head aches. I want to put my time and effort into bbpress, and hope it doesn’t go the way of a dead forum system in two years. 
Oh, thanks…
“Deep Integration” was never intended with bbPress sadly
I don’t know – of course I’d really like to have bbPress “deeply integrated”, and it’s particularly frustrating to see that everything seems to work except for the registration process (and some other, solvable little bits like title tag, current page body tag etc.).
But I would probably agree that deep bbPress integration shouldn’t be a priority for WordPress core development. In that respect, having bbPress as a standalone system that also works inside WordPress may simply be asking too much:
Look at other solutions – they’re either bloated or phenomenally ugly and near impossible to customise, or both. But I’ve tested several of them with WordPress 3.0 RC3, and they all get two things right straight away – integration and shared users, with just a few clicks.
They’re also all plugins…
For now, I’ll have to see if someone finds a way around this problem, or if I’ll have to replicate my WordPress theme for bbPress and leave deep integration alone. Stupid, really.
Then there’s also Justin Tadlock, who is building a forum using nothing but WordPress custom post types and custom taxonomies. Should be interesting to see how that pans out…
I’ll stick this on the WP boards – it seems WordPress 3.0 has been released just a few minutes ago, I’m pretty sure others will run into the same problem.
When you say it does not work mate, can you tell us what it does instead?
It might be a quick fix
Rootside, this is good methodical thinking, thank you for it.
“Deep Integration” was never intended with bbPress sadly, and it’s something that the Automattic folks have shy’d away from. I’ll look for Sam’s quote on it in a bit (as he summed it up brilliantly).
I’d throw this error on the WP board and see if it gets any traction (i reported the original bug form this thread and it recieved no responses at all), but it might not given that bbPress’s integration with WordPress is not a priority for either system.
If this still exists in 3.0 when it’s released, we’ll see if we can get a sticky made to warn people.
Good work!
Wait a minute:
Looks like it might be deep integration that’s causing the problem:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ recommends adding require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/path/to/wp-load.php'); to bb-config.php.
I just added that (using the correct path) to my working installation, and I’m getting the ’email is required’ behaviour again. Delete it, and registration works.
I’m not sure if that means deep integration doesn’t work at all with WP3.0…?
Okay, bug hunting is hereby unsuccessfully terminated for the time being:
I installed WordPress 3.0 RC3 and bbPress 1.0.2 in a different subdomain on the same server, and everything works as it should:
I can register new accounts, they show up in WordPress without a role, but as soon as I’ve logged in and posted a reply, I’m mapped as a subscriber in WordPress.
Adding a new user in WordPress works as well, I can hop over to bbPress, log in with the details chosen in WordPress, and post as a member.
Now that I see it working on the same server, I must have made a mistake in the first installation, or it’s a crazy bug. I doubt it had to do with my custom theme, because I switched back to the defaults during testing. However, I’ve only tested the new installation with the defaults, I’ll be back here if anything goes weird…
I’m still slightly uneasy about this of course, because I usually find the bugs or errors, even if I can’t always (okay, rarely) solve or correct them myself. But given that bbPress is BY FAR the best solution for a simple forum on WordPress, I simply had to make it work. Non-intrusive custom themes and Akismet are just two reasons why bbPress is so far ahead of other WordPress integrated solutions; I’ve tested 4 alternatives over the last week or so – OMFG.
The only thing I can offer to others is to try again, following Sam Bauer’s screencast at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast
(with one addition: when bbPress asks for the cookie salts and you can’t find them on the admin page bbPress links to, copy them from wp-config.php)
I’m sorry to tell you people that..its working on localhost correctly but not on live… depressed again…topic still not resolved 
I was merely offering a solution. You don’t have to take it.
I actually install WordPress with almost every bbPress forum, even if it’s not needed. I don’t use Deep Integration so there is no overhead. All I do is point my bbPress forum action towards the WordPress page, and it redirects people back to bbPress, without ever seeing WordPress.
Again, it’s merely a solution. It’s not one that you have to take.
but I still need it
Then write it yourself mate
You did already get annoyed and bumped your own post when no-one had replied in under 4 hours. If you need it that desperately, then you should write it yourself
Otherwise, we’re jsut trying to help.
…think beyond
… answering your questions next time? you got it, i’ll think beyond

EDIT:
Pagal didn’t we actually go over this 4 weeks ago?
Look, what we have here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-registration-and-login-via-bbpress
Started by Pagal 4 weeks ago.
Which was solved at :
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-login_form-from-bbpress-on-a-wordpress-site
@kevinjohngallagher but I still need it… no need of plugin but code..
if you force all your members to kick off toward wordpress then its your choice not mine and not other members…think beyond
Generic plugins are actually quite good for this, at least the WordPress one is quite ideal. I generally force all my members to register and login via WordPress and that gives me way more options in terms of Plugins and Database
should I waste my time and effort in this forum software
You should never waste your time on anything.
Is it going to stay alive and healthy?
It’s open source software.
It can be anything you want it to be. If at any time it’s not what you want, you can change it
Cos, respectfully, none of us can see into the future.
Yes, yes and yes. Respectively. I love the clean style of your site. I will change the double-line border of the forum table in a single line.
The site is http://retro-replay.com
Ive added a bbpress forum and I am tweaking it as we speak. They sync together and cross post well. I am sure I can continue to move forward in a positive direction until the forum meets my satisfaction. My question is, should I waste my time and effort in this forum software? Is it going to stay alive and healthy? I need to know this now before I move forward.
Thanks. Weird code though. Wish bbPress was more like WordPress…
How can I determine if the user is an admin or not?
I have the following code so far (based on a WordPress one I use):
<?php global $bb_current_user; bb_get_current_user_info(); if ($bb_current_user->bb_user_level == 10 ) { ?><li><a title="Admin" href="http://www.paperviewmagazine.com/forums/bb-admin/">Admin</a></li><?php } ?>
But it doesn’t quite work, I’m guessing the user level is the problem. I know I could use bb_admin_link but I want to write the url myself.
Also how can I get the url for the profile edit page for a logged in user? so for example:
/forums/profile/cameron/edit/
Thanks.
Hi,
Message specialy to _ck_ : please can you intergrate this two plugin to get guest (not registred) to receive notification by email (when someone replay to his comment he get email) like on this plugin for wordpress : http://txfx.net/wordpress-plugins/subscribe-to-comments/
02 plugins to integrate :
* http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-anonymous-posting/
* http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic
Please i do not need a “complex plugin” like txfx plugin, juste an email with 02 links : a link to newest comment and one to unsubscribe.
thank’s
You would effectively be subscribing to Gautam talking to himself mate.
With the odd comment from myself/ashfame etc.

how can i fix this problem ?
please help me .
Thanks

First we need to gather the list of users who are not inactive or blocked.
This unfortunately requires a much more complicated query because of how wordpress/bbpress stores the user status in the meta, and in a way that cannot be quickly queried.
ie. this simple query is not good enough:
$query=”SELECT ID FROM $bbdb->users WHERE user_status=0 ORDER BY user_registered DESC”;
So the following will work up to mid-sized forums, if you have over 100k users, it’s probably a bad approach because it’s non-indexed in mysql and the query will require a complete table-scan.
global $bbdb;
$query="SELECT ID FROM $bbdb->users as t1 LEFT JOIN $bbdb->usermeta as t2 on t1.ID=t2.user_id WHERE user_status=0 AND (meta_key='$bbdb->prefix"."capabilities' AND NOT (meta_value LIKE '%inactive%' OR meta_value LIKE '%blocked%')) ORDER BY user_registered DESC";
$results=$bbdb->get_col($query);
(we’re going to deal with pagination later)
$results will now contain all the active user IDs, newest members first (or false if the query failed for some reason).
Since bbpress.org is screwing up code now, I’m putting it also here:
http://pastebin.com/embed_iframe.php?i=t3BX3i10
So I’ve installed bbpress a few times and finally got things integrated with wordpress.
I have no idea why I did it but playing around I removed the /forum in the General Settings.
Now the bbpress doesn’t work anylonger. Duuuuuuu
Anyways I’d like to find out were I could set this back so that I can put /forum after my website again so it works.
Thanks for your help
The things I see here are exactly the same indifference towards the user’s needs I had to see in the WP development for the last years. As I said some months ago, it is the WordPress style of “communication” growing here.
Yesterday, I announced on my little site that I will abandon any further work on my german localization of bbPress and suggested the usage of another bulletin board system. It was the silent decision to end the bbPress 0.9 support, which made me sure that bbPress is in a dead end and that no one of the “relevant” people (which do their decisions in an anti-communicative and anonymous way) wants to change this direction.
I am fed up with people dreaming of “world domination” with writing almighty PHP applications and ignoring the needs of the users. It is grim, meaningless, void. bbPress is dead.
I’ve setup a wordpress and bbpress blog/forum.
In wordpress I have added a plugin to display the user login/registration screen by default. So unless you login you can’t access the blog.
Logins will only be created manually by me.
I want the same for the forum but can’t find a plugin.
Please assist.
