Are you using a shared DB with WordPress and, if so, did you happen to use Fantastico or some other installer app to install it?

I’ve seen that (latin1_swedish_ci) borking recently with a weird WP install, but not with BBPress.

@eclipsenow – For now, the bbPress philosophy is to keep those 20 features in plugins and out of the core. But judging from how WordPress has grown in features over time, I’m sure bbPress 2.0 will have all 20 features in the core!

Not sure where to post this comment, but I’m wondering if the functionality of having wordpress entries appearing in the forums and comments synchronizing (like bbsync plugin allows) will become a feature of an upcoming release?

WordPress needs a plugin to allow you into admin on bbPress. Just search “bbPress Integration” in the plugin search.

[chrishajer]

What version of WordPress?

Have you cleared the cookies?

[ganzua]

how? Where? I think I have everthing setup okay, but everyones account on the bbpress side states:

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /home/user/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2009

This problem comes from 1.04. I have the same error whenever I want to edit an user;

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in wampwwwwordpressbbpressbb-includesfunctions.bb-template.php on line 2009

In line 2008 is this code;

// Keymasters can't demote themselves

if ( ( $bb_current_id == $user->ID && $can_keep_gate ) || ( array_key_exists('keymaster', $user->capabilities) && !$can_keep_gate ) )

$roles = array( 'keymaster' => $roles['keymaster'] );

elseif ( !$can_keep_gate ) // only keymasters can promote others to keymaster status

unset($roles['keymaster']);

Had anyone had success with alpha 5 (actually r1910) cookie integration with wordpress mu 2.6?

[thugzie]

wordpressfan I tried bbpress 1.0 alpha 4 also. I still had install errors Congrats.

[thugzie]

@ wordpressfan Congrats for getting it going. I tried bbpress 1.0-alpha 4 and still was having issues getting the install to work.

Some thoughts on the WordPress community, themes, and the GPL

http://spectacu.la/wordpressorg-pull-200-gpl-themes/

http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2008/12/17/matt-the-gpl-and-more/

There’s a two hour interview there with Matt Mullenweg. He discusses premium themes, the GPL, WordPress, BuddyPress and even bbPress (although he seemed somewhat out of touch with bbPress.)

I should have said that the bulk of the discussion was 2 weeks ago

[nextical]

Well.. at the moment, I’m thinking why there isn’t any link to my WordPress ‘Index/Home’ site.. there only link to my bbpress home. So, I was just trying to make a link to my WP Home by changing the URL of the forum in the Setting page.

From ‘www.ins-ide.org/forum’ being ‘www.ins-ide.org’

but suddenly all the link missing the target because of the missing path. “/forum” in the URL.

Well I got Back.. and change the URL again.. but it still doesn’t work.

The only option I think about is changing the URL line by FTP/Cpanel. But again, I don’t know what file I need to access.

Anyone can help me?

[ganzua]

I sum up to the toll; recent registered users through wordpress can’t post in the forum. The “add new” link doesn’t appear whenever one of them logs in.

I tried to manually assign roles but whenever I go to the profile page I get a function error there. Forum death

In the German locale the weekday symbol for friday is ‘Fr’ instead of English locale which is ‘Fri’.

Interesting, same problem here with Drupal:

http://drupal.org/node/232433

[chrishajer]

Sounds like there’s a problem with bb_post_time, or with the way the date is being stored in the database. What version of PHP and what version of MySQL are you using? Maybe there’s a bug?

Also, are you using a language file?

[chrishajer]

bbPress is GPL v2, so they can’t *require* you to display it. If you haven’t been watching, there’s a huge discussion going on regarding WordPress and premium themes, the GPL, etc.

@the both of yous

Sambauers is the main programmer responsible for updating and maintaining bbPress, the rest of us seem to serve more as bug testers and trac reporters. You’re both correct to assume that the goal is to have it work both ways, with a registration at one platform to assign a role to the other.

@globalkris

You’re lucky, I haven’t been able to get either/or to automatically tell the other what roles to assign, despite my efforts. To be honest, it can’t be happening anywhere on the WordPress side of things, because WordPress has no idea that bbPress exists. It’s just doing what it always did. bbPress needs to look for capabilities, and assign them according to the WordPress role map provided it has been set.

It seems like a good idea to have the role-map setup as part of the installation process, if choosing to integrate that is.

The other side of this, which I’ve said before in different topics, is that automated integration of bbPress is difficult to predict, because there are several configurations that anyone could or would use, and it isn’t just WordPress that bbPress is intended to work with. There’s BuddyPress too, which is a whole other assortment of configurations. You can see how having bbPress automatically assign a role to a user that doesn’t have a role at all can be a strange situation, since there are times where WP users might not have roles either. There are about 250 different types of arrangements that users can have that must be trapped when I think about it, considering registrations on either side, the role map, and what the results of each situation would be.

Maybe when they register through WordPress, I don’t want them automatically given access to the forums, or vice versa. Even though they are integrated, maybe I don’t want them to have a role at all. What if WordPress registrations are closed but bbPress ones are open? I mean when you think of all of the possibilities, it’s a wonder/miracle that it works at all. Ha!

Long story short, Sam is working really hard on getting this integration up and running for us, and I suspect there will be an alpha6 coming shortly.

[globalkris]

Well, glad to see I’m not the only one with the problem at least. Hopefully someone has a solution for us… anyone?

[pulk99]

thanks chris, this is my problem.

in my rss2.php in my themes folder I have the following line:

<pubDate><?php bb_post_time('D, d M Y H:i:s +0000'); ?></pubDate>

this is giving me this result:

<pubDate>Mo, 05 Jan 2009 21:58:55 +0000</pubDate>

but in the same file, the line:

<pubDate><?php echo gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s +0000'); ?></pubDate>

is working fine. output:

<pubDate>Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:24:47 +0000</pubDate>

I have: define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); in my bb-config.

[Famous]

what can I do? I tried integrating bbpress with buddypress/wordpress and was unsuccessful. I don’t want to damage my database. What can I do to get it working? Best solution??? Thanks

[tiago-s]

HEAVILY modded forum warning. I only use bbPress because of the WordPress integration, and I want it as close as possible to other forums, so I did this (with only amateur self-learned skills):

http://nocontinues.net/forum/

Feel free to use it as reference, but it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen done in bbPress. Like, at all. And not only the looks, functions too. I’m especially proud of the support of bbcode, including nested

[chrishajer]

It looks like you used wp_ (instead of bb_) as your table prefix, and WordPress was already installed, which means bbPress tried to install into the WordPress tables?

By default, WordPress uses these tables (in 2.7):

wp_comments

wp_links

wp_options

wp_postmeta

wp_posts

wp_terms

wp_term_relationships

wp_term_taxonomy

wp_usermeta

wp_users

And bbPress uses these in the alpha version:

bb_forums

bb_meta

bb_posts

bb_terms

bb_term_relationships

bb_term_taxonomy

bb_topics

bb_usermeta

bb_users

bbPress 0.9.0.* versions used different tables:

bb_forums

bb_posts

bb_tagged

bb_tags

bb_topicmeta

bb_topics

bb_usermeta

bb_users

And when you integrate, bbPress uses the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables instead of its own bb_users and bb_usermeta.

[hotforwords]

I am running 2.7 and alpha 5 with the same problem and can’t get the roles to work either. I did everything the way it was described to do.. even did a clean install of a website and bbpress to test it out and it didn’t assign roles there either.

I used the bbpress integration plugin as well.

I have 44,000 members, so this is a bit of an issue for me. I had to manually go in and assign roles to about 15,000 members and have to manually assign roles for all new members, which is about 100 a day, and a real pain.

[chrishajer]

I just validated the feed for one of the pages for this forum, and it came back as valid. The data format looks the same to me. I noticed in your date, there is a character missing from “Friday”:

<pubDate>Fr, 02 Jan 2009 10:57:20 +0000</pubDate></blockqoute>

This date format is correct for RFC 822 from a Linux command line:

[~/ch/bbpress]$ date -R

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 10:12:42 -0500

So, I think there is just some problem with your date function, missing the “i” in Friday, or you typed incorrectly instead of pasting, and the missing “i” is just a typo.
