Apparently md5 hash isn’t correct either. What I need is to make the bbpress password-hash into the WordPress 2.5 standard.
I.e. how to make bbpress 1.0 WordPress 2.4 (Pre 2.5) compatible?
I am working on a site where I’m integrating wp, bbpress and Gallery2. The integration between WP and BBPress is seamless (WP 2.7 and BBPress 1.0 Alpha6) as is the integration between WordPress and Gallery2. The problem is that when people register in BBPress they can’t access Gallery2…
Does anyone have a solution for this? Can bbpress be forced to call the wordpress registration-script instead of the normal bbpress registration script when registering. I wan’t the extra bells and whistles the bb-press installation allows for through plugins so rerouting and forcing users to register through the wp interface doesn’t really appeal to me…
right now I am using:
echo "<li><a>topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a>Posted by: <a>topic_poster."'>".$result->topic_poster_name."</a> in </li>";
since im calling it in wordpress that function doesnt exist.
Are the functions capitalized in the same manner? Windows doesn’t seem to care about capitalization, but Linux does. I’ve had that trouble with WordPress plugins before, where it seems the plugin was developed on Windows and the function was called
function DoThis() {, so calling dothis() stops working on Linux where it was fine on Windows.
Could that be a possibility?
Started running bbpress 1.0-Alpha6 recently on a productionsite… Probably a bad idea but everything seems to work… A few plugins that don’t work but other than that it’s all good! 
any sight on when bbpress will support it? 1.0 does, i read. when is it expected? withing a few weeks? months? and are we then speaking 2 or 6 months?
thanks in advance!
I am going to take a SWAG:
SimplePie supports RFC 822, RFC 2822, RFC 3339, and ISO 8601 datestamps. My guess is Magpie does as well. I would start by trying a RFC 2822 timestamp.

What is the format for TIME?
Looks like the forum ate your code but to display the forum name when you only have the id, you can use the built in bbpress functions
echo get_forum_name($result->forum_id);
or
echo "Posted by $result->topic_poster_name in ".get_forum_name($result->forum_id);
or
echo "Posted by <a href='".bb_get_profile_link($result->topic_poster)."'>$result->topic_poster_name</a>
in <a href='".get_forum_link($result->forum_id);."'>".get_forum_name($result->forum_id)."</a>";
also, I got this far… just not sure how to get the forum name, since only the forum ID is listed in this table… not sure how I pull the otehr table and combine the two.
echo "
<li><a>topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a>Posted by: ".$result->topic_poster_name.".</li>
";
man, this is so great. I am using this now instead of rss and i like it so much more!!!
would you be willing to show how we would add
“Posted by $user in $forum.”
under the list of topics?
WordPress uses Magpie for doing RSS and by default will cache the feeds for 1 hour. To change this, you can add a line to your wp-config file like:
define(‘MAGPIE_CACHE_AGE’, TIME);
Replace the word ‘TIME’ with the length of time in seconds to cache. You can also turn off the Magpie cache with:
define(‘MAGPIE_CACHE_ON’, false);
Hope that helps.
I believe there is a plugin that does this by polling the DB. Not sure if it is on the plugins site here or over at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins but it is called something like “bbPress Latest Discussions” or something like that.
Turns out the Manage -> Recount didn’t solve the issue.
I did a clean install of BBpress integrated with WordPress and reproduced the problem. I failed to reproduce the problem the first time since I only had two users.
Try this on a clean install-
0. Use keymaster account to write a two posts under two topics.
1. Create user #2.
2. Login user #1 and create two posts under same two topics written by user #1.
3. Using wordpress admin delete user #2.
4. Create user #3 and log in as user #3.
5. Display topics.
6. Note that the keymaster account is ‘inactive’. This is a result of the SQL request for the account level failing.
As for linking to the forum from the blog like as if it was a page it’s just a matter of installing this plugin: http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/page-links-to/
Works great.
Im installing bbpress, the newest alpha, and integrating it with wordpress 2.7
After installation (goes smoothly) i go to the main page, and it says
You must specify a table prefix in your bb-config.php file.
When i go into my config file, i see the prefix defined as bb_….
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks!
I’m of the ‘better safe than sorry’ variety of nerd.
By ‘changing your password’ I mean all of ’em.
your ftp password
your cpanel password (if they’re not the same)
your email password (ditto)
your SQL db password to that DB
your WordPress/bbPress password
anything else you use on this site
Yeah, pain in the ass. But again, safer vs sorrier. This all could be one colossal typo of yours that you forgot, or what have you. But if you’re worried it was a hack, then you do what needs doing to stop it cold turkey.
When I ‘m in the WordPress Integration tab and set the User Role Map and click on “Save User Role Map” the site loads for a while and then turns white (browser says done).
Is that normal or could that mean an error occurred?
Maybe because I have too much users? (About 11,100)
(I’m using 1.0a6)
Also, in general, bbPress, WordPress, most modern forums and modern blogging platforms use a database to store the data for the site. There are files on the filesystem as well, but in addition to those, there is almost always data stored in a database. In anything other than a simple static site (and with systems that use flat files rather than a database for data storage) you’ll find that there is almost always a database involved.
You’ll see on this page that there are some flat file systems, no database required, but most forums and content management systems and blogging platforms use a database back-end for storage:

Custom fields in WordPress can be used for amazing things. I like your idea.
If it’s a background image defined in the stylesheet, you need to do something like this:
http://www.wordpressmax.com/wordpress/wordpress-header-link
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/181216
http://www.penny4them.com/2008/clickable-header/
The instructions are for WordPress, but you’ll need to use a similar procedure. If you don’t want to do it with JavaScript, you need to move the image into the template file and call it with an <img tag, not define it as a background image for the div in the stylesheet.
