Thing is, you configure role mapping before changing table so that roles of members from the new user table can have proper bbPress roles.

So WP admin will be your bbPress keymaster

Okay, I hate to be ‘that guy’ but I’ve gotta ask…

I created forums through the admin interface, created a page (named “forum”) and set the page template to bbPress index. So far, so good. The page loads and I can see the forums I created.

However, when I click on one of the forums, for instance, “General Discussion”, I get a 404.

I’m using the DynamiX theme and I have added the various page templates, loop templates, css, etc. from the plugin. I tested on a different subdomain and it was working, but now it’s not.

Does Twentyten somehow “create” the /forums/forum/ and /forums/topic/topic-name/ pages when it’s initialized? I looked at the functions.php included and didn’t see anything like this going on.

I have also made sure to network activate the plugin, it was previously only activated on this site. Could that be the source of the problem?

Thanks again, everyone.

Okay, I figured out I had to go to my wp-config file where I installed WordPress to find all that stuff. Okay, now I have a new problem. Now that I have bbPress installed, it is giving me this error:

I am new to this and I am trying to integrate WordPress and bbPress, but I am having a few issues. How do I find out what the WordPress “auth” cookie key is, along with the WordPress “secure auth” cookie key, and WordPress “logged in” cookie key, including all of the “cookie salt.” Also, what should the user database table prefix be (right now it is wp_) and what is the WordPress MU primary blog ID? If someone could explain all of this to me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

[mralexweber]

@ch8rt, I’m just learning this plugin, but I would suggest you look at loop-bbp_topics.php (in the plugin folder structure it’s in plugin/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/ ). Around line 16 is where the table gets created. It’ll need a little custom mojo to get it working totally right, but let us know how it goes!

[mralexweber]

Hey JJJ/everyone!

Just got the plugin working on our server and for the most part, everything works. Exciting!

However, something that puzzled me was the “profiles”. My guess is that this version they are going to be separate pages from BuddyPress profile pages (yes, we’re also using BP) and later be merged when BP provides new profile functionality?

In the mean time, it looks like we’ll have to overload the bbp_author_link function… that, or hack out every instance of it, which I would prefer not to do.

If anyone could comment or guide me in the right direction, I’d be very grateful. Thanks for the great work everyone!

As of today my 2 month old bbPress installation is now showing posts in the wrong order. The most recently added or edited post shows at the top of the thread, while all the other posts are in the correct chronological order beneath.

Hi. I have uploaded via ftp into plugins folder but it doesn’t show up. Your instructions indicate to go to the url of the installation. Is bbpress for a sole wordpress site usage not just a plugin for forum within a site?

[Cordelia0704]

I have a password protected directory on a sub domain. wordpress is the only thing installed on it. I want the forums to fall under the same password protection so that my members don’t need to use 2 logins to use what *should* be a functional part of the site their used to. so I tried uploading it into a directory called bbpress on that sub domain with wordpress installed.

I guess my post was a little confusing, but trust me, so is my server set up

Any ideas on pulling users favourite/created/subscribed topics somewhere other than the users page?

This is the code for created from the users page which shows 0 results elsewhere, presumably because it doesn’t know what user I want.

<?php bbp_set_query_name( 'bbp_user_profile_topics_created' ); ?>

<?php if ( bbp_get_user_topics_started() ) :

get_template_part( 'loop', 'bbp_topics' );

else : ?>

<p><?php bbp_is_user_home() ? _e( 'You have not created any topics.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'This user has not created any topics.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php bbp_reset_query_name(); ?>

I’ve had success going the custom post types route with…

<?php query_posts( 'post_type=bbp_topic&posts_per_page=5&author_name=' . $username ); ?>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Which works, if all I want is the title, but not the correct way I’m guessing

I just joined the forums to be able to ask about my failed install, but I think I see your problem having just gone through the install myself (albeit unsuccessfully).

You say you uploaded the files to your wordpress directory.

You’re not supposed to.

If your site is example.com and you want bbpress to live at example.com/forums/ then use your ftp program to create a directory called forums in your root directory (ie at the *same level* or alongside your wordpress directory, not *in* it), and copy all of the bbpress files into that directory.

Then in your browser visit example.com/forums/ and an installation wizard should start up (not that it does for me).

bbPress doesn’t store IP addresses of users when they register. The Project Honey Pot plugin will block the spammers from every page on your forum, including the login page, so there’s no reason to worry.

I’m pretty sure the old plugin still works. With the upcoming bbPress plugin version, emoticons will be handled by WordPress.

I am experiencing the same issue. Everything was integrated just fine until I assigned roles in the bbPress backend and added wp_ as the table prefix, now I can’t login.

If you have Akismet and Bozo Users installed, spam users will automatically be marked as bozos when they register. If you’re looking a way to check IPs in Project Honey Pot’s database, try my plugin Project Honey Pot for bbPress. For any silent spam bots registered before you install the plugin, skim through your user list. Spam bot usernames, websites, and email addresses are usually pretty noticeable.

Hi,

Apologies, because i know there are lots of posts out there on the subject, but I am kind of new to bbpress, and I’m a little confused.

My client wants emoticons installed on his bbpress installation (1.02), but the only plugins I can find seem to work only up to around bbpress 0.9.

Even the forum topics discussing the need for emoticons and smilies seem to tail off around 2009. Weird.

Did emoticons get integrated into bbpress core around that time? If so, I can’t seem to find any options for it.

Did emoticons become so uncool people stopped using them?

Or is there a way to implement them into bbpress 1.02???

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I’d be really grateful [insert giant cheesy winking emoticon here]
