Since a lot of people still say version 0.9.0.6 is still good i installed it but was unable to set pretty permalinks and there was a never ending story of solutions on the forums like adding bbpress rules to wordpress htacess file or adding multiviews but none worked i even tried to copy the rewrite rules from bbpress to the htacess but no luck i end up on 404 page….

so i went back to version 1.0.2 and instaled svn version 2540 and altough its istalled the following error popped up above the bbpress last installation step (the one that gives us the admin password)

Database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘)’ at line 1]

can anyone tell me what i’m doing wrong or maybe what i can do to use pretty permalink in 0.9.0.6.

Thanks

Gravatars are built in to bbPress 1.0.x. You just need to enable them in your admin panel, then your template needs to be set up to display them.

The user’s gravatar will be displayed on your site if the email at gravatar.com and the email they registered with on your forum are the same.

Hi,

For my website I need the forum to be the Frontpage (main site), but I need wordpress for things like Facebook Connect plugins. Could I install BBpress on the root directory and have WordPress on a sub directory like http://www.forum.com/blog. Whilst still creating a deep intergration between the two ?

[jdblundell]

I may have found a solution.

I deleted all the bbPress files from my server.

Deleted all the tables from my database in MySql that began with the bb_ prefix.

Then started the process all over again.

However, this time I left the SECURE_AUTH_SALT field blank since it doesn’t show in my wp-admin/options.php page (even though it’s in my wp-config file).

Either the full reinstall or simply leaving that field blank worked.

Also, once I uninstalled bbPress I added the bbPress Integration plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/) to my WordPress install (don’t know if that’s made a difference either) but it said to add a couple lines to my wp-config.php file as well.

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.somethingbeautifulpodcast.com’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

[jdblundell]

I’ve hit the same snag. I tried logging out of my WordPress admin and now I can’t login to the BBpress install or WordPress install.

http://www.somethingbeautifulpodcast.com

http://www.somethingbeautifulpodcast.com/forums

When I click the login button on both WordPress and BBPress it simply sits on the same page or reloads the page. It’s as if the Login buttons are broken.

I’ve tried changing the force_ssl_admin to true as mentioned here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-link-doesnt-take-me-to-dashboard

function force_ssl_admin($force = ‘true’) {

I’ve updated all my auth keys in both WP config and BP config as mentioned here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-access-bb-admin

(https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/)

And I’ve added define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ); to my WP and BP config files as well.

Still no luck.

Any help would be appreciated. If nothing else I may start searching for the uninstall thread.

[Visulla]

thank you! But I would like to have a startpage telling: this forum is for those who got an Subsidy only. (and I mail these persons a general-login username and password).

After these (chozen) persons login with the general login, they can register and then see the blog.

I just don’t know how to make a general RESTRICTION to the whole bbpress folder..

[VirtualityStudio]

i loaded bavatars yesterday, but no luck, and i couldn’t find a plugin called “gravatar” in bbpress. any ideas?

[chrishajer]

There was a plugin but I think it might be too old now.

I am looking for a plugin (or code) to make a login to the page so only the persons who have this login can see the forum..? like a “Registration to the bbpress folder”. I tried some folder-registrations but then bbpress does not work at all.

Thankx for any tips.

[KittysForum]

lol @ vanilla forums. I’ve been testing them for two weeks and would not recommend them to anyone.

[Raize]

I would go with http://vanillaforums.org

I wouldn’t even consider any other software at this point

[lcray]

Hey all..

I’m about to start a hacky project to integrate bbPress into WP.. but am thinking of putting it off if it’s just going to be a plugin soon.

Have there been any realistic time-frames mentioned for when the next (plugin) version is set for release?

Thx

Very nice!

That’s the second great use of forums as images that I’ve seen.

(the other one is http://gallery.weddingbee.com/ )

[Taeo]

Well I wrote one fairly large plugin to handle the image uploading and added a few template functions to then display them. I also made a few modifications of existing plugins to achieve the views and rating functionality. My original post echoes most of this in more detail.

Aside from some small modifications to the profile page code (why isn’t there a template for this?!) all of the additional functionality has been achieved through plugins and theme code. I wrote most of the functionality into a plugin I am called bb-gallery. I am also using ajaxed-quote (detective), bb-ratings (mdawaffe), bb-topic-views (wittmania, _ck_), my-views (_ck_), and front-page-topics (_ck_, mdawaffe).

Unless performance is crippling slow, those users’ arguments are very valid.

bbPress’s ability to be customized and slipped into foreign environments is extremely attractive. It’s incredibly easy to customize without breaking the core like most other forums.

But look at WordPress – it’s popularity defies ALL logic. Without heavy duty caching it would collapse most large sites. Apachebench would DESTROY it without page caching (using 17 categories with 7500 users and 10k posts with 10k comments). Of course it’s the sheer number of available customizations that override the care about lack of performance.

[_ck_]

Oh come on, the average person who looks at a graph that says product B is slower than product A doesn’t know how to be critical about the testing methods. If they did, every other commercial you see on TV would be useless.

Making a benchmark is a learning process. I am certainly not critical of the effort, I think it’s great someone took the time to do it. All I am saying the concept can be improved and expanded.

Early on I wrote bb-benchmark to analyze how bbPress performs from the server-side. It can be very helpful. But as fancy as the analysis is, in the end something I wrote much later on that gives much simpler data is far more practical for real-world results (browser-timer).

AB could be considered the parallel of bb-benchmark. It has it’s usefulness.

But one day there will be something more real-world like browser-timer.

[_ck_]

Of course it will be good to have content caching added, I already commented on how plugins can do that and bbPress never got content caching because it was being re-invented every couple of years. The reality is now it’s a moot point, bbPress 0.9 and 1.0-1.1 will never have it internally. I doubt 1.2/2.0 will ever either, they will simply rely on WP plugins to do page caching.

But I’m also saying the effects of content caching will be less visible if the test was more realistic to how forums are really used.

Apachebench is not complete enough and not real-world enough.

The problem is it’s going to take a week or two of coding to write something better and I can’t imagine someone doing that unless they were serious and skilled enough to do it.

I could write a plugin that defeats apachebench entirely, it’s very easy. AB does not load any content on the page, no images, no scripts. So basically all I have to do is send it one hard coded script tag, nothing else on the page, and the script loads the page. Then bbPress would rank as fast as an empty static html/php page.

That’s an extreme unrealistic example but it’s part of what I am saying. A real world test would load the page like a browser does, it would accept and return cookies so a user couple be logged in, and it would post new content between reads.

Writing a test like that is hard work, so I am not surprised that just using AB is the fallback.

You want bbPress to be cached? It can already do that, deep integrate with WP and then use wp-super-cache (or similar).

But then the page generation time is hidden in the first page render, let’s say it takes 800ms or more. Each next page will only take 20ms or less to serve. But Apachebench is “dumb” and doesn’t know that, it can only show best/worst and averages.

What if SMF or one of the others take 2 seconds for the first render on a new login and then 20ms for each successive? That 2 seconds is important if the content/user is constantly changing. What if a forum generates a list of topics the same for everyone but then uses javascript to change the list after the fact by using extra queries outside of the original page render? Apachebench cannot “catch” any of those scenarios or show their performance.

Hey Everyone!

I am tracking opinions on bb-bench.com on internet from my curiosity (I am NOT associated with that initiative in any way).

I find this thread interesting in negative way. Hovewer responses on those results are not suprise to me. Every dev unsatissfied with results attacks test itself ignoring bad solutions (or lack of countersolutions) in his code.

You say “test is bad because we dont implement cache while others do”. That indeed has its effect on BBPress results hovewer as end-user I am interested in performace. Caching algorithms are necessary if you aim your software for bigger communities.

Ofcourse you can say “hey, if load is too big, you can always switch to more powerful hosting plan”. Thats true, however whats heaper for user? Change hosting solution or community software for faster one?

What I am especially disgusted with is how you claimed other solutions use full-page cache, while none of them does. Lying about other software to make your one appear “more fair” is really cheap shot.

If your code lacks features like caching, you implement those, dont argue over how cache is bad and gives others unfair advantage in tests. How hard it is to implement basic cache mechanism to code? Implementing it will make software better.

Ah I see… thanks for the tip!

they get added, but you need to refresh the page to see them. Known issue, sadly.

Try this plugin – it should do the trick!

I was just trying to add a “modlook” tag to a few spammy posts, but wasn’t able to do so.

Are tags broken on bbpress.org?
