Greets –

Well, I’ve now asked about these in two other bbPress forums (subsections of WP forums) and have gotten nowhere fast, so I thought I’d run them through the official forum again:

•Live Comment Preview — I could get it to put the ‘Preview’ button on the page, but otherwise it’s dead in its tracks. IE reported an “error on page” when used.

•Post Notification — Notifies Admin when someone posts in the forum. Dead.

•Subscribe To Topic — Puts the little checkbox on the page but doesn’t do the notification part.

•After The Deadline — Spell-checker, doesn’t work with BB Editor.

Someone said that part of the reason they haven’t been updated is because the authors are waiting for the new ‘plugin’ version of bbPress to be released. That’s great, except it doesn’t do any good in the meantime — for what could be a fairly simple tweak of the original code. Both “Post Notification” and “Subscribe To Topic” look like they’d fall under that heading. If we assumed they worked once, and all they’re not doing now is the notification part, you’d think that wouldn’t be very difficult to fix.

Someone else suggested I downgrade to bbPress v0.9, but (1) my heavily-tweaked theme wouldn’t load and (2) neither Zaerl Editor or BB Editor worked, so I canned the idea.

Any suggestions for replacements or fixes for the above?

Thanks,

Joe

Greets –

Is there a plugin or tweak that will display the ‘sticky’ topics at the top of the Topics list, rather than the bottom? I checked over the bbPress and Showcase sites and didn’t see anything.

Thanks,

Joe

@uteman23, did you find a good solution. I am planning to use bbpress and buddypress as well but i don’t like the built in bbpress. So i am planning to install a standalone bbpress, but i am wondering how this will hold up with buddypress.

Do you have any good website examples which uses this “triangle”??

[kevinjohngallagher]

Pagal,

You are really into bbPress, and thats great

People here, including myself, like helping you and others

The way I look at it is this: every time someone asks a question and people take the time to answer, it means more people who have that question will be able to find the answer without having to ask.

The difference is..

You don’t check first:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-disable-wp-super-chache-plugin-for-bbpress#post-72398

You start the same topic over and over:

You say something doesn’t work, and then when we ask how it doesn’t work you refuse to tell us.

I don’t know why people forcing me to search bbPress solutions from GOOGLE and trying to bug me off from this Support

Because it saves us from having to type the same answers over and over.

None of us are paid here, we’re all just trying to help. The more time we spend typing the same answers to the same question because someone can’t use google, the less time we have for new questions.

Your last question, was very very easy to find the answer for.

It had it’s own tag (which YOU typed in), which lead you right to the answer.

The answer was the top search result in google.

The answer was linked to 5 times on searching on this forum.

Its just a request to open my topic again.

Why bro?

I’m guessing it was closed because the question was answered

You asked a question, you got an answer that worked

That’s awesome!

Hello, bbPress Mods,

I’m really confused that what I did wrong that you’ve closed my topic about Super cache. I think I just ask a question, I’ve searched about this issue over internet but I didn’t find any solution yet that’s why I’ve asked about it in bbpress ( believe me Kev, Just my name is Pagal, But I’m really not). I also searched about it in bbPress forums but did not find any authentic answer. I don’t know why people forcing me to search bbPress solutions from GOOGLE and trying to bug me off from this Support.

I make you sure that I’ll not give any wrong reply to my “beloved” Kev about his sweet painful words. Its just a request to open my topic again.

Really Thanks,

P.S. This topic may be under “Requests and Faedback” Forum.

[Sincever]

Thank you very much for your response!

But if I understand this tutorial, for the convert SMF to bbPress it’s not possible to use the same database?

(sorry for my bad english)

[chrishajer]

There was a plugin that was useful with older versions, not so much any more:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/move-it/

Do not use that plugin.

[colinabsolutely]

Just to follow up, I found/installed the Cimy SMTP for bbpress plugin which both works around disabled phpmail and supports SSL, and it works!

BBpress don’t use a wordpress database with the wordpress users?

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

“bbPress can share user data with an existing WordPress installation. All you need to do is specify the location of that database on installation or afterwards in the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin”

[kevinjohngallagher]

Pagal,

I know you dislike me always saying it, but GOOGLE, then ask.

I did and top search results was…

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bug-found-bbpress-with-wp-super-cache

But even better than that, if you click on “wp-super-cache” tag that YOU typed in, guess what: It lists 3 topics, yours and 2 others that tell you how to fix this problem:

Hi!!

Question: BBpress don’t use a wordpress database with the wordpress users?

[pagal]

No doubt its a really good plugin for wordpress

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/

But it not works with bbPress.

When I activate this plugin then wp works but I’m getting a blank screen for my forums,

Nothing in forums, nor in source code simple white page.

and my error log for bbPress

/path/to/wp/wp-includes/cache.php on line 93<br />

[05-Aug-2010 17:17:08] PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /path/to/wp/wp-includes/cache.php on line 93<br />

[05-Aug-2010 17:17:14] PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function get() on a non

So, Simply I want to stop this plugin to work with forums.

I’m using

Wordpress 3.0.1

bbPress 1.0.2

Deep integration.

If you could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

P.

I have installed wordpress 3.0.1 and bbpress 1.0 inside the wordpress folder. They share the same database.

I have added the following lines to the wp-config before the mysql strings:

In the wordpress integration plugin I checked that the table prefix is set to wp_. Also the “auth”, “secure auth” and “logged in” cookies are locked as they have been matched.

The wordpress url is set correct and the bbpress integration plugin has been added and the bbpress url is set. I have deleted all cookies, but regardless I am not logged into bbpress when I log into wordpress.

I have mapped the users as key, moderator, member, member, member. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

[brad@foreverybody]

I have been tasked with integrating a forum whit an existing site of private community of members already in existence.

I selected bbpress because I like its simplicity and its similarities with wordpress so I am somewhat familiar with it on the surface and to a lesser extent its inner workings. This integration needs to be seamless in both appearance and function.

Geting it visually integrated was easy as I was able to wrap my existing webpage class in a bb template by doing all my setup in head.php and my rendering in footer.php. wrapping my webpage class also inherently provided me with blocking pages and showing the login page if the user wasn’t authenticated to the existing site. so far so good.

Now onto the problem. I need users logged into the site to be able to post and have all the perks of registered users but NOT actually be a user because they will not control their user info from bbpress. avatars names email addresses etc are to be controlled from an existing interface that i have no control over. With that said inserting and updating entires in the bbuesrs table is undesirable for me and I would much rather a plugin be be abel to instantiate the bb_user class using $_SESSION data instead of entries in the database.

I have been able to get this working by hacking the actual bb_user class in combination with a hacked anonymous posting plugin, but I want to be able to update bbpress in the future without breaking it or having to go re-hack so I am hoping to find a pluggable solution.

any ideas?

[brad@foreverybody]

While I have never needed to administrate 100 bbpress installs I have had the need to administrate 3 and it was a pain having to keep each one up to date with plugins etc.

I’m not sure what exactly OP means when he says “administrate”, but if all that is required is the ability to run multiple forums from one set of core/plugins/templates the solution I came up with was to hack the wordpress virtual multiblog plugin to work with bbpress. It was fairly easy as bbpress and wordpress cores are quite similar.

each forum has its own database and VMB simply loads a different config file for each forum.

[chrishajer]

The files are not where bbPress expected to see them. If they were, this would come up fine:

http://lookwhatwecando.freehostingcloud.com/my-templates/static-blue/style.css

So, please take a screenshot of the location of the folders in relationship to the bb-templates folder.

It could also be something weird related to the free hosting account, but I don’t think so. I just don’t think the files are where they need to be.

Something like this:

[robo51]

Sorry about that, the themes dont even appear, and the folders are:

root: /bbPress/my-templates/crazydark

root: /bbPress/my-templates/static-blue

I hope this helps.

i installed bbpress and after some time the general forum disapered

i created 4 forums and a category and then hey disappered too!

i had also installed lot of plugins..

but the stats on admin dashboard show 5 forums but i can see any!

help me!

My guess is that your box doesn’t support PHP mail. I had the same problem, but I integrated users with my WordPress install so I got in with my admin account.

There is an SMTP plugin floating around but I haven’t gotten it to work, and it doesn’t support SSL. For now I’ve simply replaced the register link on bbpress with the link to my WP register page. (WP has a host of smtp plugins that work great).

That’s probably more than you needed to know but maybe I was able to preempt a few issues you might run into.

[chrishajer]

The .alt replies (the class is generated and added automatically by bbPress) are being formatted improperly. Try with the default theme and see if they look correct. If they do, figure out what you did wrong when modifying the theme. It looks to be something in the CSS.

[chrishajer]

Hmm, not really clear what the resolution was here but the error is the same:

Who can shed some light here?

It’s almost like one of the template files is missing from the template folder or has the wrong permissions or something. post.php is missing?

Where did the file go if it WAS working?

This should give some output (or at least a blank screen), not a 404:

http://infusion5.com/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/post.php

So, I think there is something wrong with your template. Try uploading another copy of the default kakumei theme (and kakumei-blue to be safe.) You could be missing other files as well, so might want to check for others or just re-upload. Looks like everything is already installed in the database.

I’m creating a website with WordPress and bbPress that needs a section where someone can fill out an application form (from a WordPress page) and that will create a new topic in bbPress with the info they filled in.

We decided that the easiest way would be to have the form data submitted straight into the bbPress database.

I experimented with phpmyadmin by adding new records with the correct info in bbposts, increased the post counts in bbtopics and finally used the post time I’d set in bbposts (post_time) with topic_time to update the ‘freshness’. I used phpmyadmin’s default date/time selector to replicate the records’ formatting correctly.

While the new post showed up perfectly and the post counts were correct, the freshness came up as being “-1 years”

I changed the code in front-page.php to the following as outlined by _ck_ :

<td class="num">" title="<?php echo date("r",strtotime($topic->topic_time)); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></td>

so that I could see what it was coming up with as the posted date and time. The results were… ‘interesting’ –

On mousing over the -1 years, I got the correct date and time.

On mousing over the correct freshness times of other posts I had made the same day, I got a date and time that seems to be 12 hours behind.

Here are the links to images outlining this:

-1 years freshness but correct date/time image

‘Normal’ freshness time but with wrong date/time image

Can someone please explain what is going wrong and if possible how to fix it or get around this problem with adding topics directly to the database. I’m starting to /facedesk so help would be much appreciated!!

Hi,

The default bbpress post doesn’t have the Reply function… is there any plugins that have this feature?

I tried easy mention but it didn’t work at all

Thank you!
