It will support a host name, but are you trying to use a port or a socket? I use MySQL servers on different hosts all the time, but they are always on the default port of 3306.

Can you post the BBDB_HOST line from your config.php?

Also, you didn’t post the actual warnings: what were those?

[edwinfoo]

The default for this (when an account is created) is unchecked.

How do I go about changing that so that the default for Favorite Notification is “checked” when the account is created?

[dupola]

I use BBPress 0.8.3 here:http://bbpress.org.ru

but I can’t see my custom themes even the default theme in the panel.I can only see”Dashboard Users Content “when I login to panel…

Why?

Update:My forum has upgraded to 0.8.3 from 0.8.2,I find there add two options about Mysql Datebase in the config.php of the new version(0.8.3) .It set the Datebase CHARSET and COLLATE to utf8.

Then I created a new Mysql datebase and set the config.php correctly,but when I install it,it said:

“Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/.lewis/okokb/bbpress/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80”

then I check the line 80 of the file,db-mysqli.php,it looks seem that the version of my Mysql Datebase must be 4.1.0?

isn’t it? but my Mysql datebase are all above 4.1.0.

But I saw that,when I signup with a new Datebase,I can see my custom themes in the panel.

Now I want to know,if BB require only 4.1.0(the version of the mysql datebase)….

I’m very sorry about that my English is not good,I hope you can understand what I mean….

Thanks all.

Logins and such are best used with default everything until you know they work. Try the default template again and report back any specific things you have going on there. As well, once you start fiddling with integrating with WP in the config.php it will use the WordPress members. Another thing if you don’t have Akismet setup would be to put:

$bb->akismet_key = false;

I was wondering if there was a way to make all post have a default poll question. Im starting a freebie forum, where users can submit free stuff they find online, I would like to set each post started to have a simple yes/no poll, like did this freebie offer work? Can this be done?

[Doobus]

Very nice theme, however I am getting this error when I click edit:

This topic is

Fatal error: Call to undefined function topic_resolved() in C:wampwwwwrdp2bbp2bb-templatesfeelinggrayedit-post.php on line 35

I’m not getting this with the default them Kakumei. Suggestions?

[livibetter]

You can simply add that line into bb-includes/default-filters.php

or

create your own plugin file with that line.

[chrishajer]

I wouldn’t put them in bb-templates at all (no good reason for saying that other than “they don’t go there.”) Just drop them into my-templates.

The my templates folder should be 0755.

The template folder itself should be 0755.

The files in the template folder should be 0644.

(well, that’s what they are in my installation, by default, and they work)

If those permissions are correct, then is it possible you didn’t create a folder under my-templates? Should be something like:

my-templates  (directory)

-crystal (directory)

- all the php and css for the crystal theme here

-superbold (directory)

- all the php and css for the superbold theme here

 

The other thing is that the style.css needs to have a line in it like this:

Theme Name: Crystal

If the Theme Name is not unique, I think bad things happen. At least you see what appears to be a theme of the same name in multiple places in the admin panel. I know WordPress doesn’t like themes with the same name too much, and I suspect bbPress is similarly picky.

Please post when you find the solution because I am sure it will help other people. Thanks.

[viveksivaram]

I have this issue. I tried to copy the “crystal” and “superbold” themes into

//bb-templates

and

//my-templates

yet, on the admin console , i only see the default kakumei

what am i doing wrong? is there some CHMOD issue?

[ruilouis]

I reply to myself (This forum is auto-curative ;P)

So for the people who are endeavouring the same errors here is the deal:

* a format specification for argument 1 doesn’t exist in ‘msgstr’ : This error is due to a missing variable in the translated string -> In my case a %s was missing.

* field `Language-Team’ still has initial default value : This error means that you have to update information in ” Catalog / Settings / Project info ” -> In my case the Project name and version was something like “bbpress trunk”, the Language wasnt defined, nor wad the Country, Charset and Source code Charset. I still do not have info in the Plural Forms but it’s running.

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you encounter problems with ja.po or ja.mo (Or if you want those files and cannot found them).

[ruilouis]

Hello all,

I found on this site an address leading to “よくきたBlog” where ja.po and ja.mo files were available. I could use it for my forum but I realize that some part really needing to be modified. I tried then to open the ja.po file in PoEdit, which I managed to do. The problem is that when I try to save the file, it prompt me 2 errors:

09:57:33: msgfmt: K:..bb-includeslanguagesja.po: field `Language-Team’ still has initial default value

09:57:33: K:..bb-includeslanguagesja.po:323: a format specification for argument 1 doesn’t exist in ‘msgstr’

09:57:33: msgfmt: found 2 fatal errors

When i turn off the “create automatically an *.mo file”, the program save the *.po file correctly. I wonder how I can fix those errors (Cause it seems that the program will not create a new ja.mo file untill those errors vanish).

Thanks for reading

Rui

[peterwsterling]

Matt, the file does exist – it is in the template you are using. If you don’t have one (a template, or a template without this file), bbPress will be using the default one in “bb-templates/kakumei”

[sheatsb]

I’m having a couple of issues:

-Is it just me, or are a few files missing from the package. There are claims in the documents of a

stylesheet and another file outside of bbsync.php.

-When I put the <?php bbrepliestext(); ?> tag in my theme, it shows nothing, then I try <?php felbbreplies(); ?> and I get Fatal error: Call to undefined function felbbreplies() in /Applications/MAMP/taos.htdocs/woodfin/wp-content/themes/default/single.php on line 56

I’ve integrated WordPress and bbPress with the database and plugins. Is there something I’m missing to make this work, because this is a great plugin.

[Null]

Hi,

I thought there already was a plugin for this, but I can’t find it.

What I am looking for is a way so the admin can put the forum in undercontruction-mode. Visitors will see a default underconstruction-page until the admin removes it again (with a selection option in the admin?). Very handy when updating a forum.

[mattpeckham]

Has anyone been able to get this working with the ‘bbpress-forum’ template (the one that mimics this forum) and bbPress 8.3? I had this working fine in my older install using the default template, but 8.3 seems to break things, and ‘bbpress-forum’ doesn’t have the post-form.php and edit-form.php files.

[baptiste]

Did anyone find that you could piggyback onto the WordPress integration/authentication when using the OpenID plugin? It didn’t work for me. I had the plugin activated on my WordPress site and was able to login and create users just fine, but bbPress didn’t know about the credentials and wouldn’t login.

I need to get more familiar with how the integration is working – I thought it would work fine since it created a normal WordPress user record. But it kept saying the userid was unknown… Will probably dig into it later. The WP plugin is great – the persona fill in stuff is very cool. Only quirk was my ‘Display As’ defaulted to the userid even though a name was included. But I digress.

Edit: you can of course cut BODY to include different sidebar wp / bbp

[chrishajer]

For WP header and navigation, or the logo and navigation back to WP, everything you need is in the theme files and the stylesheets. I would make a copy of the default template (create a new folder of a different name, then copy all the files from the stock theme into that new folder, and open style.css and change the Theme Name: Kakumei to Theme Name: ChgoGrrl99), then make your modifications in those files. If you break it, just revert to the stock theme.

But, adding links, adding the WP header and navigation, can all be done in the theme files.

[vafaaaan]

Where do i put them? here? if so..

i think bbp should have 2 options at install, standalone or integrate with WP .. and since so many ppl want this under WP it should be default

So i added

require_once($_SERVER . ‘/kent/wp-blog-header.php’);

in my config and it seems working fine. Can i now use functions as is_user_logged_in() and wp_list_categories() in my bbp templates ?

Can either sides registration/login be totally skipped? ex. remove bbp´s registration?

[refueled]

betwixt: probably the best thing to do is to redesign the default kakumei theme to make it look exactly like the WordPress theme you are using.

Is there a particular WordPress theme you are using or is your design custom?

[Sam Bauers]

The sub-forum setup may not be what you are after exactly, but it is the only way to closely approximate your needs using a default install.

Categories (similar to what you show in your image) was something I spent quite a lot of effort on a few releases ago. It never made it to core, but there is still an intention to add similar functionality in the future. I’m thinking maybe we should have forums which don’t hold topics, and act as de-facto categories when they contain sub-forums. This is future stuff though, for now sub-forums is as good as it gets.

[JeffVoegtlin]

After filling in step one of the installation I get this message:

Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

I’m sorry I don’t understand what all that means. Can someone here help me? Thanks.

[chrishajer]

You changed the installation from forums to bbpress, but you didn’t make the change in the config.php. So, your forum is at http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/, but the config has $bb->uri = 'http://www.reviewsaurus.com/forums/'; You need to change one or the other (either the folder name or the URI in the config) for it to work.

As proof, I can see http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css just fine.

[mayankg]

Hello,

I followed all the steps mentioned in the installation and bbpress got installed properly but it doesn’t display the forum properly.

you can see the forum login here : http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/

but you’ll see that it doesn’t look correct as no images no css is loaded.

It’s a fresh installation and i’ve not changed anything else. Can you please suggest me what could be the problem….I’m using the pretty permalinks feature….could that be a problem?

[chrishajer]

Yes, use the same database (it’s easier later with integration) and you can even leave the default table prefix in the bbPress config.php. By default, WordPress uses a table prefix of wp_ and bbPress uses bb_, so there is no conflict, and even if bbPress goes horribly wrong, it won’t hurt WordPress at all.

Good luck. I’m in Chicago too if you need any help.
