If we read bbPress code, we can. What if we’d like to read it in English?

Honest, I’ll bet there’s a one-sentence description of the difference between ‘key master’ and ‘administrator’

Right, there is no official manual.

Find the integration guide on this page – http://blog.ashfame.com/bbpress/

Try this plugin for sync – https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/

Create my-plugins folder with 755 permissions in root of bbPress and put plugins there. You can activate them from dashboard after login.

P.S. – Being to the point doesn’t hurt. Write as much required.

I am trying to install bbpress and I have gotten to the point where I have created a bb-config.php file and uploaded it. Now when I go to usehistory.net/bbpress instead of installation instructions I get the text of the php file. Can anyone tell me why this might be happening. Thank you.

Hi,

Does any of you the current “trunk”version of bbPress? Since the last version of 9 days (mdawaffe) shows my forum a PHP Warning: “Invalid argument supplied for foreach (@ 2718)”- caused by the file functions.bb-users.php. It seems as if the function expects an array, but not get!?

A Google search for the error message brings up only my own forum. Has anyone found this problem, too?

My forum url: http://www.mysteria3000.de

I use the trunk version of bbPress with the Beta 2 of WordPress 3.1.

Perhaps the reason is a change in handling users in WordPress?

I am grateful for solutions.

Greetings

Does BBpress automatically log user off after a certain time? If so how long is the time limit? And can I change it?

Hey,

As I’ve just started a new project that will in in bbPress which I havent worked with I really need some help with this command.

What im trying to do is to RTX-connect bbPress.

Using this use

`

<?php

// Below is a very simple PHP 5 script that implements the RPX token URL processing.

// The code below assumes you have the CURL HTTP fetching library.

global $bb_current_user, $bbdb;

$rpxApiKey = ‘XXXXX’;

if(isset($_POST)) {

/* STEP 1: Extract token POST parameter */

$token = $_POST;

/* STEP 2: Use the token to make the auth_info API call */

$post_data = array(‘token’ => $_POST,

‘apiKey’ => $rpxApiKey,

‘format’ => ‘json’);

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, ‘https://rpxnow.com/api/v2/auth_info&#8217;);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

$raw_json = curl_exec($curl);

curl_close($curl);

/* STEP 3: Parse the JSON auth_info response */

$auth_info = json_decode($raw_json, true);

if ($auth_info == ‘ok’) {

/* STEP 3 Continued: Extract the ‘identifier’ from the response */

$profile = $auth_info;

$identifier = $profile;

if (isset($profile)) {

echo $photo_url = $profile;

}

if (isset($profile)) {

$name = $profile;

}

if (isset($profile)) {

$email = $profile;

}

if ($email || $name ) { bb_new_user(“$name”, “$email”,””,0); echo “grattis $name du har registerat ett konto med $email”; } ´

The problem im getting is that it doesnt create any new user and im not even getting an error msg.

Can someone help me get through this problem.

Later on ill make it work just like openID does, so you dont have to login, but this is it for now. Also as the request is pretty high on facebook connect ill make this a plugin as soon as its ready.

Thanks for the replies

Aren’t there instructions somewhere on how to do what you described.

I do not have a “Options” Menu or any menus or links except the 2 I described above.

Could you provide a link to the instructions for doing the sync and set up.

I have a feeling I am logged into the bbpress forum members area. I logged out of WP and forum then tried to sign in again only in bb-admin, but still land up at the same place url/forum.

Thank you!

If you use WordPress, then bbPress is going to be a really good long-term option as it will soon mean the best integration with your website.

My main experience is with both phpBB and SMF and they feel like archaic pieces of software that are a pain to integrate and design for. Both also have big spam problems unless you customise the registration form. I think bbPress is protected by Akismet which is a different league to what the others have.

Another option similar to bbPress is Vanilla http://vanillaforums.org

My current preference is bbPress, but only if you don’t need to install too many plugins as it increases the chance of things going wrong when updating.

1. Some plugins need some editing, but its usually minimal and with details on how to. Most plugins however do not need editing or knowledge of php.

2. Right now Automattic is working on a bbPress plugin for WordPress their main blogging platform. I’m guessing most support will go too that. But some support remains on the official bbpress.

3. All populair forum software has spam problems.

4. Core changes arent neccesairy, just hook it in. Although this will require some php knowledge.

You probably have to sync wordpress and bbpress roles, havent done it in a while though, so cant remember exactly how it worked, just go into bb-admin and its in the options somewhere.

Hello All

Happy Holidays

I had my host install bbpress on url/forum and now I am stuck. They do not provide support.

I have been able to login to bb-admin but see no administrative options. Just a “This Is Your First Post” and a test post the host did.

I guess what I’m looking for is the manual and directions to set up and sync to the existing wordpress blog.

I have put the integration plugin on my server in my-plugins but see no way to activate it or set up. The plugin read me only says “put in my-plugins folder”

I have been reading the forum and docs for two days and just dont get it.

Whats my next step/steps once install is complete.

Feel free to list all the steps to follow.

I’m not a coder, but know the wp files pretty well.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi. I run a community for several groups of people learning foreign languages and I NEED SOME ADVICE on which bb platform to use. The bb/forums are the most active part of our website, so this is a very important decision. I would greatly appreciate any advice or comments you can offer.

1) I’m attracted to the fact that bbPress seems “lightweight” and that features are added as plug-ins. But is it EASY to add plug-ins? Can they be added automatically, through a wizard, or does it require knowledge of PHP and manual cutting & pasting of code?

2) Is it popular enough that there is plenty of support available online?

3) Is it secure? I used to run our forums on phpBB2 and they were eventually overrun with spam. No matter what anti-spam mods I installed, it never seemed to fix the problem.

4) When I ran the forums on phpBB2 it was terribly difficult to install Mods, keep track of changes, and perform maintenance on the site unless I kept very careful records of what parts of code I was changing. Does bbPress make this easier and more user-friendly? Have any of you had issues with it, or been disappointed by it being overly complicated?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your time. I look forward to your replies.

Regards,

R.S.

(considering bbPress, SMF, and phpBB3)

Actually, I installed the bbPress plugin directly from the WP Admin add new plugin front end and I get invalid header as well.
