Thanks Andre — working good here now, though I’ve switched to a custom template page now that I see how it works. My next (and hopefully last) question:

On my topics index page I’ve included the form-topic template so users can create topics from that page. The topic form however seems to have no functionality for choosing what forum to post in so it defaults to one of them. Is there a way to fix that?

Thanks again.

Hi

I hope to find an answer here. I write to WordPress, to bluehost, everywhere and anybody answer to me. I explain my problem:

I must re-install all my website, and it’s impossible to have on-site

registration box, on the right column in the begin. I try all since for

days. Only invitations run. But I want register members who want to take

part on this platform.

The page of BP Compability, this sentence is:

“Navigation Links

“You may want to add new navigation tabs or links to your theme to link to

BuddyPress directory pages. The default set of links are:

Register: http://www.faicmfsf.org/register/ (registration must be

enabled)”

But I look at for this file, I don’t find it. I made a special page for

regster too, but it didn’t run. For all other files for register, they are

all active, it’s ok. Just one on “BuddyPress / pb-core / pb-core-

signup.php (inactive)” What I must to do.

I want to put widgets for register, but anyone run. Sorry for my bad

english.

In bbPress 2.0 is there a way to get all the topics on one page like in the forums here? Right now it seems to default to showing you a list of forums at /forums/ but I’d rather visitors see a list of all the topics. Thanks!

[arbingersys]

I’m scratching my head on this one. I can’t get bbPress to install, and it always complains about connecting to the database.

The mySql server is remote, and I’ve tried adding it in with the hostname as well as the IP. No dice.

I know the default answer is a credentials problem, but if I use SSH and connect to the website that will host bbPress, I can do

mysql -h hostname -uusername -ppassword

and connect fine.

I can also use the above command to connect from my workstation, remotely. I’ve copy-pasted the credentials dozens of times, verified that it has read/write access to the DB, etc.

I’ve even copied bb-config-sample.php to bb-config.php and edited it manually, but it still can’t connect to the database.

Any ideas what I might try next? Thanks.

Im using the jobroller theme which comes with it’s own edit profile interface. Is there a way to tweak the bbpress user edit URL so the users are taken to the default edit profile page?

I’m editing the bbp-user-template.php but kind of stuck here.

Appreciate any responses.

P.S: Instead of rewriting the URLS.. I just want to divert people to something.com/myprofile

[brassblogs]

Hey all –

I’m hoping I’m just missing something here, but I’m trying to create a new template (to match a WordPress theme I’m working on). I’ve created a folder within the bbp-themes folder, and added a stylesheet and one file (I’m just testing it right now to get a feel for how the theming system works): page-front-forums.php.

The thing is, when I do this, ALL of my themes in the WordPress back end (under appearance > themes), save the twenty Ten (default WP theme and the bbPress version) go away. ALL of them. Now, the current theme is still working on the front end of the site, but on the back end, there’s no themes at all – they are all gone.

So can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong here? Am I putting the bbPress theme files in the wrong place? Or is this some kind of bug?

[Swaree]

Got thru installation procedure, but one error when tried to create ‘bb_allposts’ table. Error seems to be syntax error??? How do I fix or how do I re-install? If I have to re-install, do I need to remove anything first?

Hope you can help

I am using BBPress version 1.0.3 with default theme.

Also I see that there is a dropdown at the left sidebar on this forum to change to status to resolved. How can I add this same functionality to my BBPress forum?

[CrownOfMars]

I’m wanting to change the default page.php being used. I found this earlier on in this thread.

add_filter( ‘bbp_template_include’, ‘foo’ );

function foo( $file ) { return ‘page-forums.php’; }

This is no longer working. It worked perfectly on a previous site but not this current one. I get the following error:

Warning: include(page-forums.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:Program Filesxampphtdocsspawp-includestemplate-loader.php on line 43

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘page-forums.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.;C:Program FilesxamppphpPEAR’) in C:Program Filesxampphtdocsspawp-includestemplate-loader.php on line 43

The page-forums.php file does exist so that’s not the problem. Any ideas?

[master5o1]

I’ve asked for hosting and it’s approved. I removed the zip because i need to figure out which one of my copies is the best to put into the browser.

Currently I’ve just been editing the live plugin on my Tartarus test site, and then copying to test-and-edit on a more default WP+bbP on my dumping ground.

Tartarus = http://beta.tartarus.co.nz

dumping ground = http://dump.master5o1.com/wpbb/

hi guys i would like to customize the new bbpress plugin. i’m using the automatic theme integration, ie my theme does not natively support bbpress. how would i go about editing the files?

thanks

This happened:

Importing Users



We’re in the process of migrating your users...



Renamed the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables to bb_wp_users_tmp and bb_wp_usermeta_tmp respectively.



WordPress database error: [Table '<removed for privacy>.bb_users' doesn't exist]

There was a problem duplicating the table bb_users to wp_users. Please check and re-run the script or duplicate the table yourself.

After that I only got:

I delete the tables bb_wp_usermeta_tmp and bb_wp_users_tmp trying to fix this problem: stupid of course …

[master5o1]

Assuming you have name based permalinks on you WP+BBP or bbPress-standalone installation:

On a standalone bbPress install a user’s profile is: /profile/master5o1

E.g. https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/master5o1

For bbPress 2.0 (the WP plugin) the user profiles at default are: /forums/users/master5o1/

Also perhaps /users/master5o1/, depending on settings.

E.g. http://dump.master5o1.com/wpbb/users/admin/

/wpbb/ = install directory for my WordPress + bbPress 2.0 testing site.

Basically, clicking the “member”/”key master”/etc link on standalone bbPress or the user’s username of bbPress 2.0 appears to take you to their profile.

[master5o1]

I’ve just made a post toolbar that works with bbPress 2.0, and extends a bit of kses in WP (adds <span style=""> and image posting support).

Link to zip: http://dump.master5o1.com/files/bbpress-post-toolbar.zip

The toolbar looks like this with the Link panel open:

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/toolbar.png

(the Bold button in the screenshot has the :hover css applied)

Under help, one can reach an ‘About bbPress Post Toolbar’ panel which states the version of the and that I made it (but no link).

The extending of kses to allow <span style=””> in the allowable tags is necessary for the font sizing, colouring, underlining, strike-through, and text alignment.

The options page in WP Admin has the following:

Use customised smilies?

Yes No (default)

Allow embedding of Youtube videos?

Yes (default) No

Allow text-alignment buttons?

Yes No(default)

Allow images to be posted?

Yes No(default)

Link to zip: http://dump.master5o1.com/files/bbpress-post-toolbar.zip

I have requested plugin hosting for WordPress Plugin Directory and I’m waiting for it to be approved, etc.

In the mean time, any comments and feedback from testing, etc would be help.

Anyone know how to make the forum tab on the navigation is highlighted when the forum page (including topics) displayed? I’ve tried both themes bp-default and Twenty Ten but it did not happen.

[TristanOBAv]

Hi,

I’m having trouble connecting to my database that I have set up. Firstly it looks like the first step of the install process is changing the forum database (causing the DB Error: cannot select’, as in this forum post:

DB Error: cannot select

I went ahead and changed the config file manually, but when this happens I get the ‘ERROR: Could not establish a database connection’.

I have a feeling it is to do with leaving the MYSQL hostname as localhost. If so, where should I get the alternate hostname?

Here is the config file:

<?php

* Secret Keys and bbPress Language. You can get the MySQL settings from your

define( ‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘Forum’ );

/** MySQL database username */

Hello everybody,

first sorry for my english, i’m a french bbpress user then i don’t speak a very good english.

I’m trying to custimize the breadcrumb on my forum but i don’t succeed what i’m trying to do.

By default, the breadcrumb is like this :

Forum name >> Category name >> Forum name

What i want is to delete the “Category name” from the bbcrumb. Then i went into functions.bb-template.php file but don’t found the codeline i have to edit. I found the bb_get_forum_bread_crumb() function but don’t know how to do.

Does someone can help me ?

In resume, i’m trying to change :

Forum name >> Category name >> Forum name

to :

Forum name >> Forum name

on forum pages.

Last question, how to add “topic name” at the end of the bbcrumb on the topics page ?

Thanks in advance.

[Cristian Antohe]

I think there is a bug in the bbp-twentyten files.

I’m talking about archive-forum.php

It calls bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-forums' );

Notice the ‘s’ from archive-forums. That template part doesn’t exist, thus http://www.example.com/forums/ returns empty. (Also themes that don’t have support for bbpress don’t display anything for /forums/ url – is this default functionality?)

Thanks.

[Web Guy]

Users roles haven’t been changed from the default settings. The only settings set regarding users is that they can register AND create sites.

No, not even as the super admin will it post.

Thanks, Bryan

[master5o1]

Only noticed this since my test site got beta3 the other day.

http://beta.tartarus.co.nz/ is the WP, and /forum/ is a page that uses the [bbp-topic-index] and [bbp-forum-index] with default templating (ie: not Forum Index template).

I’ve got three screenshots which show the bbpress plugin settings for the slugs, the /forum/ “Recent Topics” page, the forums slug /forums/ page when you click Forums in the breadcrumb, and my work around to make it behave how I want it to behave (see the urls too).

So 1.png is the /forum/ page.

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/bbp/1.png

2.png is the /forums/ slug page as WP/bbp naturally does it.

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/bbp/2.png

3.png is done using /forums/index.php to redirect to /forum/.

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/bbp/3.png

If I made the /forum/ page slug be forums then it would show blank page probably because bbpress is getting in there first and showing the forum slug page which is blank -_-

I think that if bbpress returns a blank page, it should tell WP that it hasn’t found anything and for WP to continue to look for the page. But I don’t know how the plugin works much atm.

[littleman9]

I used my current wordpress site to install bb-press. I have the forum set up menu in the WP-admin section and it seems to be working. http://www.gadgetsandgizmos.org/forums/ but i can’t find where to login to the bb press admin section to change settings etc.

The site is using my default theme and working nicely, so great job there.

[bradsucks]

There was a conflict noted with the bbPress topic tag slug. I changed it which cleared the conflict but the tag page still isn’t returning any results (“Oh bother! No topics were found here!”).

And ‘forums’ is the root of all the forum permalinks on my setup (everything else is default, I believe.)

[bradsucks]

Just upgraded to beta 3 and my topic tag pages don’t return any results now (on the default theme). Is anyone else having this problem?

Also was there any change in the root breadcrumb behavior? I think I read there was going to be so I held off implementing a fix.

Thanks for all your hard work, bbPress 2 is looking great.

I got a hack for it if you are using MySql 5.5.

It reported on trac at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1486
