This is one of the forums I admin and is the main playground for my plugins.

http://www.brigata.it/forum/ (warning, it’s in italian)

is a modified version of 1.0.2 paired with the blog at /blog/ (no deep integration.) Plugins used:

Ajaxed quote – customized

Akismet

bbPM – the amazing plugin of Ben. Customized in many ways

bbPress signatures

Bozo

Post Count Plus – wonderful work

zeal Avatar – modified version of the wonderful (I talk like Steve Jobs) bavatars

zaerl Easter – a plugin that hide some easter eggs on posts’ text

zaerl Editor – unreleased version with support to custom tags and emoticons. Obviously you can’t see it in action if you aren’t logged in

zaerl Emoticons – with code stolen from WordPress

zaerl GA – yet another Google Analytics plugin. But this is paired with zaerl Visibility and output the google js code only on those pages that a guest (search engine are guests) can see

zaerl Members Online – a modified version of _ck_ Members Online

zaerl Post Permalink – permalink in the form post/number

zaerl Random Description – random desc under main title

zaerl Spoiler – add the spoiler tag

zaerl Tags Administration – new tags and blah blah

zaerl URL Preview – unreleased new version that print server names after links, add target=”_blank”, auto-embed youtube videos, vimeo videos and Anobii book covers. No fancy bbcode or stuff like that. If a link is a youtube/vimeo/anobii link than it is transformed.

Finally what you see on the left is the output of my plugin zaerl Sidebar. It is my personal (and totally useless right now) attempt to bring WordPress-like widgets to bbPress. The “Membri online” is a widget registered by Post Count Plus and “Tag in evidenza” instead is a widget bundled with the plugin. Right now I have implemented these widgets: stats, most popular posts, text-only, hot-tags, views list, members online (Post Count Plus), Spam caught (Akismet), RSS and search.

If you are curious you can see transformations and tags in this topic: http://www.brigata.it/forum/topic/aiuto-forum

The theme is Kakumei with some CSS changes.

Nothing special, just a black theme based on old phpBB2’s subBlack color scheme.

I would have uploaded a screenshot, but I’m not sure how to do that with Google Code just yet.

[pedagog]

Thanks zaerl, I’ll take a look at it now.

[copperblade]

I would like to merge a couple of forums. Right now, there’s about 3 or 4 topics worth that could be moved from the less-used forum over, and it would take care of everything. Is there already something that does this, or is this easy? I’m guessing those few topics probably have id collisions with the other forum.

The main purpose of the plug-in are those that will be finished bbPress background or other double-byte languages to Chinese users. It will back control in the smallest font size 12px, and the original text into a normal italic font. In this way, back in reality, when the Chinese had underestimated the font does not appear unclear phenomenon.

Now the plug-in made up of two ways. BbPress plug-in is a kind of normal form of release. Download plug-ins directory needs to be uploaded to the bbPress root directory my-plugins directory, and then plug in the background to enable management pages. Thus, even if the background for the English state, also appear in the background can be conducted in Chinese landscaping. Another is made with the language pack automatically starts. After the download, upload the php file to the language pack directory. This approach is only activated when the corresponding language pack to take effect.

As bbPress each update, it may involve changes to the CSS style sheet. Therefore, the plug-in certain targeted. That is not always backwards compatible. Therefore, the plug-in released time, corresponding to the bbPress version of the logo will come out. You can watch from the plug out of the version number. For example :1.0.1-1 logo for the bbPress version 1.0.1, and later, “-1” logo is the first revised version. After the release of “1.0.1-2”, “1.0.1-3”, etc. are the corresponding bbPress 1.0.1. Just plug made some changes. Only the previous version number changed, only that version of the corresponding change in bbPress.

it’s translated by Google.i’ll mod it later.

There are a lot of avatar plugin for bbPress and maybe you can get some ispiration from them. The best is bavatars.

[zaerl]

Ah ok. Let’s backtrace:

bb_new_user

$wp_users_object->new_user

WP_users::_put_user

WP_Pass::hash_password

$wp_hasher->HashPassword

PasswordHash::crypt_private

file bb-include/backpress/class.passwordhash.php line 113. The original comment:

# We’re kind of forced to use MD5 here since it’s the only

# cryptographic primitive available in all versions of PHP

which is true.

[zaerl]

The annoying part is that despite the RewriteBase directive all rewrite rules in .htaccess are in the form:

RewriteRule ^the-page/(something)/?$ /forum/index.php?the-page=$1 [L,QSA]

so you need to change all the rules. Or you can switch to numeric mode and then switch back to name-based permalink mode and maybe bbPress will auto-fix it for you.

[pedagog]

Thanks zaerl. However, what I meant was where is the code that converts the ‘raw’ password into the md5 hash. I know where it stores the hased password.

Sorry for the confusion.

[a2vannoy]

Thanks for the advice. I think I’ll look into the “Add Local Avatar” plugin and see what knowledge I can take from there. I do have the avatars setup inside /avatars so that’s a good place to start. If nothing else I’ll pick up plenty of PHP along the way.

[zaerl]

Well you have the same user database so you can easily access the user email. You should write a plugin that override the gravatar display functions (through the bb_get_avatar filter) and catch the images in /avatars (if exist). Sort of “Add Local Avatar” counterpart for bbPress.

This can be challenging without medium PHP knowledges.

[a2vannoy]

@zaerl, point taken.

Yes, I am indeed using the ‘Add Local Avatar’ plugin within WP, and now that someone has been so kind to point out my loss of common sense, it’s very apparent why integrating WP via sharing cookies would have no affect on a user’s avatar which does not reside in that database.

So this leaves me with a problem, how do I get avatars from a specific directory to be recognized within bbPress relative to a user based on a shared session cookie?

I’m assuming some sort of call within my post.php file which is where the avatar will be called into action, but this is beyond my limited PHP knowledge, any advice on how to proceed forward?

I moved my forum from http://www.nissenfundoplication.com to http://www.nissenfundoplication.com/forum

The frontpage loads fine but clicking on any forum or topic link results in an error.

Please help!

and uploads an avatar (global or local)

It seems that you are using a plugin (Add Local Avatar) that allow your users to upload avatars on WordPress. bbPress use gravatar and cannot automagically determine that you are using that particular WordPress plugin.

bbPress is a standalone software that can share session cookie and the users database with WordPress. Nothing more.

[SantaBarbaraSurfer]

Hey drcoach, usually when I get a whitescreen in bbPress, PHP or WordPress, it usually has to do with the fact that I improperly nested code. Meaning there is some missing ), }, necessary character or a syntactical error in the code. Did you want to paste the whole code in somewhere here on PasteBin?

[a2vannoy]

The site Admin email is actually the same email I have registered with gravatar.com, which shows the gravatar fine in WP. The issue that when a new user registers for the site and uploads an avatar (global or local), their avatar then displays correctly in WP, but nothing in bbPress. I should point out that all registration of new users is handled through WP, hence the need for integration with bbPress. User integration appears to be functioning normally except no visible avatars/gravatars in bbPress.

[zaerl]

You did use an email registered on gravatar.com?

[zaerl]

md5 checksum stored in the user_pass column of database table bb_users. No salt.

[pedagog]

Hello all

Could you tell me which security type bbpress uses for password protection? Is it md5 and salt or something else. Also, in which file is the code located?

I’m working an integration with my own site – it’s not WP or any other. It is php that I have created.

Thanks in advance

[a2vannoy]

I’m having the same issue and looking for a resolution as to why my mapped user roles (inside Settings > WordPress Integration) that are setup as ‘bbPress Member’ are being ignored and new users are automatically being labeled as ‘Inactive’ upon registration.

If this is an issue you’ve resolved since posting, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

WP 2.9.2 / bbP 1.0.2

[a2vannoy]

I’ve recently integrated a wordpress site I’ve been working on with bbpress to implement forums. Everything from styling to user login has come off pretty well, however, I’m still having an issue with the avatars not showing up inside the forums (bbpress). User integration seems to be setup correctly as login and profile info holds when switching between WP/bbP, but avatars are still showing up as ‘Mystery Man’ icon. Site can be viewed here:

http://herexchange.com/forums/

Any guidance someone could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[IAmediaworks]

Hey folks.

Did a successful install – with one exception. It said that it couldn’t create the first forum.

I did get a confirmation mail.

But clicking on the link in the mail brings me to this:

---

Oh dear!

bbPress is already installed.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

---

This happens whether I try to log into admin or visit the BBpress root.

This is installed on a fully functioning WP site.

Help?

Thanks!

M.

[chrishajer]

Somewhere, you either called the folder “forums” or typed that in to the installer. I get redirected when I try accessing some things (like the stylesheet.)

If you have nothing of value there yet (no topics or replies) I would just reinstall and be sure your URL and directory have the same name in them (i.e. a folder called bbpress, and the URL has bbpress on the end.)

To reinstall, you will need to drop the bb_ tables from the database, otherwise you will get an error “bbPress is already installed.”

[entrepreneurchic]

Sorry, it should be /bbpress for both. BUT thats the weird thing, when I type in bbpress/bb-admin to access the admin, it takes me to the above URL.
