In my WordPress site, I’m using a plugin called “Register Plus” that permits me to define which fields are required for registration. (I’m only requiring first and last name in addition to email address.) Is there some way to enforce this on the BB end? I’m trying to use a single user DB, but I’m concerned about what will happen if people register on BB and don’t put in the fields I want.

As a fallback, can I disable registrations on BB and just force them to go to WP?

Hello,

I’m using WordPress 2.7 and there is no SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php, there are only:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’,

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’,

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’,

define(‘NONCE_KEY’,

Which one do I use? Do I need to enable something to get a SECRET_KEY into my wp-config.php file? Did I miss a step somewhere?

Thanks,

Brad

I’m working with bbPress in some languages with special characters, but I think that the way those are being handled when making for instance topic_slug isn’t the best way. Is it something which might be changes in the core, or which function should I “change” to add the nicer translation. The following three examples are handled the same way in both bbPress and WordPress.

Some examples from the Danish alphabet:

– æ/Æ > ae (not changed at all)

– ø/Ø > oe (not changed at all)

– å/Å > aa (changed to a at the moment)

Hi there!

I had recently installed bbpress to my href=”http://www.going2campus.co.cc” and wordpress installed to my href=”http://www.going2college.co.cc”

I wish to integrate the bbpress into my wordpress but do not know how to do that.

Can anyone help me with this task.

Thank you.

Great video & very useful, but…

Followed the info with WPMU 2.7 & bbPress Alpha & ok except cookies not working… Logging into WP as admin I get the 3 bbPress cookies set (I do get others set as well – these are just examples):

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-admin

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-plugins

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/my-plugins

Then moving to bbPress I don’t get logged in. I can manually log in as admin (the db integration works fine) but if I look at the cookies set by bbPress they include:

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-admin

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-plugins

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/my-plugins

Despite the keys & salt between bbPress & WP being the same, the names & content of the above cookies are different between WP & bbPress.

So, looking at the above it’s not surprising the login between WP & bbPress isn’t successful. So, where did I go wrong or what is the problem?

Thanks.

okey…

Tanks for re post _CK_

One more question… ? do you know where i may find the Query [Database Query] filters?

Its there any available like wordpress? [eg. posts_where]?

[webdevelopment]

so i guess i answered my own question… apparently you have to use the unstable “alpha” version of bbpress with the latest version of wordpress:

Download

[webdevelopment]

i have wordpress 2.7 and im in the middle of the bbpress forum installation, however bbpress is asking for a secret key:

WordPress cookie secret key:

put your unique phrase here

This value must match the value of the constant named “SECRET_KEY” in your WordPress wp-config.php file. This will replace the bbPress cookie secret key set in the first step.

the problem is that since wordpress 2.6 there exists 3 secret keys for wordpress and bbpress is asking for just one and bbpress has the name of the variable wrong “SECRET_KEY”:

/define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

what should i do? i calso cant find which version of bbpress i have, is there a different version that i need?

[chrishajer]

Yes, the 1.0 branch will have integration with WordPress 2.7+

There have been quite a few 1.o alpha releases in the past few months, but they keep changing fast and wouldn’t be suitable for a live site.

Hi all

I have the same problems with wp 2.7 and bbpress 1.0.6 alpha, if I login in wordpress it logout in bbpress and viceversa.

I have put in wp-config and bb-press the same auth key – secure key and logged in key

the salts too in installation of bbpress (i have take that from wp-admin/options)

and then i have added in wp-config.php

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

and in the bb-config.php

// Start integration speedups

// WordPress database integration speedup

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->user_bbdb_name = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_user = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_password = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_host = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_charset = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_collate = ”;

$bb->custom_user_table = ”;

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ”;

// WordPress cookie integration speedup

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://mydomain’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://mydomain’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ”;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_66640defe2164fce559625e843fb6d04’;

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = ‘wordpress_sec_66640defe2164fce559625e843fb6d04’;

$bb->logged_in_cookie = ‘wordpress_logged_in_66640defe2164fce559625e843fb6d04’;

$bb->admin_cookie_path = ‘/forum/bb-admin’;

$bb->core_plugins_cookie_path = ‘/forum/bb-plugins’;

$bb->user_plugins_cookie_path = ‘/forum/my-plugins’;

$bb->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = ‘/wp-admin’;

$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = ‘/wp-content/plugins’;

// End integration speedups

Any Solutions? Really Thanks

The bbPress 0.9* series is designed for integration with WordPress up to 2.5.1.

[John James Jacoby]

Using the method above, a new user registering in WordPress is given the proper role/capability in bbPress. So far this appears to be the best integration yet. I will of course do more testing, but so far so good!

Note: This also proves compatible with the WordPress “Register Plus” plugin.

[marcoapaulo]

Anyone?!

[marcoapaulo]

But to use gravatar its necessary a gravatar account. I forgot to mention something: in bbpress, I’m using Avatar Upload, so no one needs to have an extra account to use a avatar.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

You could use Gravatar, and then they’re the same all over.

[marcoapaulo]

Hi there

As said in the topic title, how can I use bbpress avatars on wordpress comments? I have bbpress and wordpress on the same database.

Is there anyway to do this?

Someone told me to use User Photo, but I couldnt make it work… and I was wondering if existed some kind of code to add so wordpress could call the avatar from bbpress.

Thank you

Chrishajer,

I installed again and it seamlessly integrated with wordpress blog.

I installed bbpress-0.9.0.3 with WordPress version 2.6.1

Many thanks for your support

Did you resolve it? It’s in your WordPress theme CSS.

[chrishajer]

You mean the “Community” section on your WordPress site?

You need to change your .discussions2 style in http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk/wp-content/themes/revolution_magazine-40/style.css:

.discussions2 {

font-weight: none;

}

There’s no such font-weight. You want:

font-weight: normal;

It pays to validate your CSS:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.audioscribbler.co.uk%2F

You’ve made the same error in other places as well.

Also, this has nothing to do with bbPress really, it’s more of a Revolution Theme or WordPress question.

[chrishajer]

Looks like your website is using WordPress 2.7. Did you integrate the two?

I registered but I haven’t gotten a password email, and there was no password displayed on screen. What was supposed to happen?

[chrishajer]

Please post the URL to your forum so people might register and try to use the system and see what happens. Also, what version of bbPress did you install, and is it integrated with WordPress? If it’s integrated, what version of WordPress did you install?

Thanks.

[chrishajer]

Also, if you do attempt to upgrade either bbPress or WordPress, be sure to make a backup (database and filesystem.)

[chrishajer]

In general I try to keep up with WordPress releases as well. The upgrade from 2.5.1 to 2.6 included these bug fixes:

https://trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&milestone=2.6

In 2.5.1 the AUTH keys thing was really sorted out, so they changed that in 2.6 and that’s the main reason 2.6 is not compatible with the 0.9.* branch of bbPress.

If you don’t require integrated logins between the forum and the blog, then you don’t have to upgrade your bbPress to use the latest WordPress. If you do need integrated logins, then you probably need to wait for the 1.0 branch of bbPress to upgrade WordPress to the latest.

[mikey1]

Hi again, and thanks for the reply, I visit the wordpress forums a lot and have only heard that 2.5.1 is insecure, have no reason why though, its always been very good while I’ve been using it. I’m just trying to keep up with develpements before I upgrade this blog to 2.7, and hope fully my bbpress 0.9.0.2 forum will still work.

all the best.

Hello whoever you are…

I already begin playing around with alpha version of bbPress for some time now… and trying to put together some plug-in’s to make it work properly…

There seems to be quit few Plug-in’s working with the Alpha version already… Now: i was looking for a Moderation Plug-in… There is only Quit few available and the one called BB MODERATION HOLD seems to be working fine, excerpt that It doesn’t Display the Post back to User or any other message to confirm the Post has been Taken into account and awaits moderation… So I was trying to append and make it display message on POST and Also, Show the Post BACK to user (and admins / Moderators) in LISTING with others with simple mark of awaits moderation.

There is not a Clear documentation available like wordpress for available Filters and Action…

For now, I want a Filter to Append the Query when it’s Querying For the Topics in Forum, Latest Topics, Sticky Topics and each so I may Append the Where cause to List the Awaiting moderation Post to Owner (User) and Moderators / Admins.

It would be great if anyone may give me a List of WORKING filters available to use i Current TRUNK version (Alpha 6)…

original Plug-in: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/

Thanks
