How can we get informed when the plugin alpha becomes available?

[lucianofiorini]

Yes Yes, I’m sure!

I don’t know how to do, and I can not do many tests because the forum is very active.

One idea that occurred to me is to make copies of the databases and delete everything and start from scratch without the integration of wordpress, but I have all users actually on wordpress, and I have no idea how to pass the users from wordpress to bbpress.

Would greatly appreciate your ideas

many thanks

I’ve updated the script, the latest version can be found here which addresses the issues highlighted by jonkristian (replies not being displayed) and Rick (errors from plugins – turned debug option off by default, though it is recommended that you turn off all plugins) and some others too.

Rick: You should put only the bbs2p.php file in the root directory (where you have wp-config.php. Then change those lines to:

define( 'BBS2P_WP_PATH', '' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

define( 'BBS2P_BB_PATH', 'forums/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

JJJ: I’m on that.

Follow up question,

What would I be losing if I don’t include the rest of the bbpress related stuff in the child theme functions.php?

single-reply.php

Where is it used?

— nevermind —

I figured it out.

Hello,

I just accidentally integrated bbPress with WordPress without first editing the bbPress User map role to ensure the Admin was linked to Key Master. Now my WordPress login works for both, but I can no longer access the bbPress admin panel.

I found this forum post (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/lost-key-master), which says to open up bb_topicmeta and delete the last few lines with meta_key starting wp_” but I can’t find the “bb_topicmeta” file anywhere.

I also tried adding: $bb->new_keymaster = ‘admin’; in the config.php file to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I couldn’t get the add plugin form to work, so here’s my plugin.

bbPress Mail Fix, what it does is sends all mail to a different website if the current server has sendmail disabled or not working or not fast enough. This works with the current bb_mail() function, fully. This has been tested and works on bbpress 1.0.3 .

Without knowing anything about coding, it’s going to be almost impossible.

You can learn to program though; once you do that, the sky is the limit.

The soon to be released bbPress plugin for WordPress will allow something like a moderation queue pretty easily, but it would need to be built.

Not an idiot, it’s just new and uncharted territory. I’ve coded a lot of little subtleties into the plugin that will come out as time goes on. Pretty much anything you want to do with it, you should be able to do. If you find a limitation, I want to fix it.

I am definitely outside of your immediate circle, and am running the bbPress plugin over at testbp.org/discussion. A site with over 22k subscribed users that are able to post in those forums with no issues.

Not saying there isn’t a bug somewhere, just saying it hasn’t manifested itself on my installs yet.

Also, the bug isn’t in WordPress 3.1, or 3.2. It’s probably in how I’m handling the query differences between the two versions, as some of the advanced meta type queries are being fine-tuned.

In your functions.php file for your theme.

[Rick Lewis]

yes copied. I am using a child theme. where do I add that code?

[John James Jacoby]

If you *moved* all the page templates out of the bbp-twentyten folder, and did not *copy* them, then exactly what you’ve described will occur.

If you copied them, and did not explicitly add this snippet to your theme, exactly what you’ve described will occur:

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

If your permalinks were flushed by another plugin, it’s possible that bbPress’s rewrites got missed. This is a known issue, and I’m working on a fix. Visit Admin > Settings > Forums, and save them, which will force bbPress to flush the rewrite rules again.

[Rick Lewis]

i thought it was miller time but no dice. I moved the page template into my themes folder which I had not done and create a forum page.

http://crosseyedgaming.com/forum/

That gave me what looks more like a forum although I had that look within my theme at one point.

So looks good and off I went clicking on one of the forums. None of the links work!

I am sure this has to do with the setting as I believe I put forum or something in for the base. I notice though changing the slugs kills all the links???

Is this real?

That would suck to kill all the links in ones forum but it seems that is what happen. Please confirm if this is the case and if there is a fix.

Thank you.

Also, the code itself is very heavily documented. If you’re curious about the inner workings, dive in and take a look. Honestly, documenting bbPress.org will be largely a community effort once I get things setup here. I’ll contribute to get it off the ground and will always be around to help, but it’s hard to build everything and document everything too. The WordPress codex is the culmination of years of hundreds of developers chipping in, and both bbPress and BuddyPress will eventually have something similar.

[John James Jacoby]

Categories are basically just forums you can’t post to. This mirrors existing bbPress behavior, and not existing (other forum platform) behavior. This is mostly just a presentation issue, so if you figure out a way to make it do what other platforms do, drop a patch in Trac.

I don’t imagine it will difficult to make it do what you want, since it’s just opening and closing elements in the loop, but things will get confusing when nested and multiple child/sibling elements come into play. I remember this from my old phpBB days.

What about deactivating and reactivating bbPress? It sounds like your caps aren’t being applied correctly.

To be clear, there are subscribers posting over at testbp.org/discussion perfectly fine, and it’s running exactly the same code you are. Your video was helpful, and it’s really odd that it’s happening for you like that.

What versions of WordPress are you using? I suppose it’s possible it’s a WordPress 3.1 issue, since I’ve moved on to testing with WP3.2 the past two weeks or so. I’ll revert back to 3.1 and see if that changes anything.

@tooltrainer – As a bit of advice, these forums don’t have enough traffic to necessitate bumping your topic after only an hour or two of no response. It’s also really draining to read really long replies that only repeat your frustrations instead of providing any more insight. I can tell this is something you’re experiencing and obviously very passionate about, but no one else has experienced this so far. Remember this is *prerelease* software. If you’re relying on it to function 100% correctly all the time on a live site, then you’re breaking rules #1 and #2 of test-club.

If it’s a bug, then it will get fixed. If you have access to IRC and want more personal, live help, join #bbpress on freenode and I can try to help you there when we’re both around.

It sounds like it’s a permalink problem. Go to Admin > Settings > Forums and resave your settings. Let me know if that fixes it?
