In the WordPress admin I am getting an error saving forum settings.

Warning: intval() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 170

Because of this error I also get further errors when using the TwentyTen bbpress theme.

Warning: Division by zero in /xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php on line 382

This is happening because get_option(‘_bbp_replies_per_page’); is now empty

with the small details that still need to be worked out, I think we’d better wait till a 2.1 release to actually mention it. a fair amount of people are still a little confused as to where the forums are installed to, how to administrate them, and most importantly, how to integrate their themes into the new bbpress. I’d say after those three major things are mentioned in the install instructions and made a bit clearer / automated, then it’s time to invite the masses

[tgiokdi]

are you attempting to use two different themes for your site? one for the wordpress install and one for the bbpress? in my own installations, I didn’t copy or move any templates around at all, and just installed bbpress and it worked with the template that I was using for my main site…

[tgiokdi]

@andreas your site’s css isn’t loading properly for me on any of your pages, I’d look into that first before you look into what’s going on with bbpress.

@ferdilicious sorry someone couldn’t help you with your needs

All ajax functionality on single topic pages are broken. I get the following errors on:

wp-lists.js:1 — Uncaught ReferenceError: ajaxurl is not defined

topic.js:39 — Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method ‘wpList’

I’m using a copy of the TwentTen BBpress theme, but it doesn’t work even if I switch back to the default theme. I’m using the BBpress plugin with Buddypress, not standalone.

If you look at a topic thread on my site (http://willowbilliards.com/forum/topic/test-topic-3/) you’ll notice that there’s no avatars showing.

I figured out that the place where the code should exist is in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php so I stuck a message that says “avatar should go here”. Here’s the code from that page: http://pastebin.com/dMLeD6LV

But what do I need to put there so the avatar actually shows? Please advise. Thanks in advance!

It’s pretty much all stated in the title.

There doesn’t appear to be anything preventing guests from seeing hidden or private topics when the [bbp-topic-index] short code is used.

There is a forum on the site that only people that can view private forums are supposed to know about. You can’t view the topic’s contents, but the existence of the forum is nevertheless betrayed in the index.

I was able to fix the problem by adding a check in the loop-single-topic.php template file.

Same problem, I’m using the BBpress 2.0 plugin with WordPress and cannot get the BB language file to be implemented.

I used define(‘BBLANG’, ‘hethen’); in wp-config and also placed the .mo file in wp-content/languages and in bbpress/bbp-languages/

[master5o1]

Assuming bbPress 2.0:

You can modify this file (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bbpress/tags/2.0/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/form-anonymous.php)

Modify the <input> tags such that they’re type="hidden". Also make the value="Anonymous" for name and something like value="anonymous@example.com" for email.

There is _probably_ a better way but this is the first that comes to mind for me.

Oh, and I guess I might as well throw this in here:

Judging from some posts I have seen (correct me if I am wrong), there is no built in way of having bbPress (2.0) made searchable using the standard WordPress search box and having both sets of results combined into one set, and if there is, it is buggy at best. Services such as Google Custom Search have been suggested as alternatives, but would that mean that all posts are searchable using spiders? I mean, would using a service such as Freefind give me practically accurate results, depending on when each crawl was made? Or is there a way to have relatively realtime results just using the standard WordPress search box? I’d much rather have native (even plugin based) search on my site instead of a spider based search engine, but beggars can’t be choosers and all.

I’ve given up, there’s too much to do already – I switched to another bulletin board which didn’t gave me any headaches.

AW, as i’ve jumped from punbb>phpbb2>phpbb3>bbpress1>bbpress2, I don’t think it’s worth sharing my setup – just too many variables to account for.

However, look forward to testing a punbb or phpbb version for you.

Hi Vaju,

I have now searched the internet (yes all of it I think) and it seems there is a lot of confusion about bbpress and how to change languages.

Has anyone got this to work in version 2.0 (Plugin) ?

Here is what I have tried so far :

1: mo and po files uploaded to /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages

2: Looked in and edited a lot of php files.

3. Checked nearly every file in my themes folder (Suffusion).

4. Have been in discussion with Suffusion theme forum.

None of the above has helped in any way

My wordpress is showing the correct language, which is great. A major problem is the Forum is not. I currently have the site offline for now. But it should be up again before the start of next week (well thats what I have told the users)

[kai920]

Thanks anointed, I might follow your approach as I want to keep the forums somewhat separated from the rest of the site. Am sure I will learn many things along the way also, as an added bonus

I’m thinking I’m pretty happy that I found bbPress. I’d appreciate someone chiming in on the following use case for bbPress. Is the following possible?

I’d like to completely prevent a user from registering in bbPress. I want the WordPress User database to control roles and capabilities inside bbPress. In fact, I don’t want users to be able to register in WordPress either. No, it won’t be any empty forum (hampers discussion) because all of the users will be added and updated via an integration between an external customer system and the WordPress user database.

Here’s the perfect scenario for our client.

In the external customer system a subset of customers, lets say 10 of them get a role and custom capability called “Review Committee”. The integration between the customer system and WordPress User database insures the 10 customers on the committee are in the WP User database with the “Review Committee” capability. In bbPress, we’d like the Review Committee to have a private discussion space/thread (sorry, I’m not familiar with the correct bbPress term), controlled by the user capability the 10 individuals have where only the 10 of them with the “Review Committee” capability can participate in their discussion, share documents, etc. For our client, subsets of their customer base like the “Review Committee” example outlined above will come and go but all will need a private space in bbPress to conduct their business.

So, will this work?

Your thoughts are very much appreciated!

DB.

I have installed bbpress 2.0 at allaboutfocus.com on the Genesis Framework. Before I knew that shortcodes existed I create a single free forum with some test posts. You can see that here: http://allaboutfocus.com/forums/forum/free-forums/#

Now I’ve discovered shortcodes. I created a new empty page called /mojo-forums. I edit that page and add a couple of simple shortcodes. When I save the new page I am instantly directed back to edit session for page http://allaboutfocus.com/forums/forum/free-forums/ . This is bizarre. That is not the page I was editing. Keep in mind this is all happening in the admin area. When I click on view to view the page /mojo-forums it shows me page /forums which has no edit options.

Also – when I post a new test post it is showing the freshest post as 4 hours ago. But when you drill down to the post it has the correct time that I saved the post.

Help.

Thanks,

Patrick

I just noticed a mistake, avatar thumbnail size is 50×50, not 15×15. Sorry for the double post.

[Andre]

Additional functionality will probably be left to plugins.

Plugins for bbPress should start appearing now that bbPress 2.0 is fully released. I expect that you’ll soon be able to add all sorts of functionality via plugins.

[Andre]

@quickcat – I’m not the best one to answer your question since I haven’t looked for any plugins that will work with bbPress other than BuddyPress. Others should be able to jump in and help.

Hey, I’m currently experiencing horrible avatar quality in topic view on BBPress. I’m running both the BuddyPress 1.5 and BBPress 2.0 plugins. From what I’ve seen in the files, in addition to simply right clicking on a topic-view avatar and hitting view image (Firefox), the forum is taking the standard thumbnail size avatar (which is 15×15) and enlarging it to about 79×79, resulting in a blurry mess. Is there any way to fix this, or get a better quality in-topic avatar size?

The bbPress 2x Support Plugin has been updated. Its quite a powerful little Plugin now.

We’re also building another VIP Support Plugin that will allow users to post to your bbPress Support Forums from within their WordPress dashboard.

Please remember these Plugin’s do not take us away from developing the WP e-Commerce Plugin – we’re making these bbPress Plugins for our own website and we are using it ourselves to help the WP e-Commerce Plugin community. Because…
