Z – I got on a bbPress plugins page and found your ‘Open in new window’ plugin but the rascal doesn’t seem to work. Tried it in both ‘bb-plugins’ and ‘my-plugins’. It activates just fine. Is there a trick I’m missing?

Thanks,

Joe

Hello,

I hope someone can help. I just moved my website to a new host. I’ve copied all files from the old bbpress directory to the one created with the new host. Everything seems to be working fine except for the Register function. If I try to create a new user and click Register nothing happens. Should I maybe change some permissions?

Thanks for any input.

The best plugin for uploading avatars is bavatars: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bavatars/

[nickaster]

Is there a better option than gravatar for making avatars? I like gravatar, but most novice users still can’t figure it out. Also – are there better options for profiles in general? Are there plugins where people can add real information to their profile pages, not just the bbpress defaults? I don’t need much, just a little more than is there now, like a bio and whatnot.

[nickaster]

So.. i guess this is a bump. How do i do the last step? “integrate a facebook connect button”? What’s the code for that? Do I just slap it onto my bbpress template?

[pastorbobsforum]

Hello.

I am using Bavatars 0.4.1 plugin in bbpress 1.0.2.

Now, I am trying to get my avatar (or every user’s avatar for that matter) shown next to every post that I (or they) make.

I have tried using something of the <?php avatarupload_display(get_post_author_id()); ?>kind in my template’s post.php page, specifically in <div class="threadauthor"> section, but I don’t know the exact function that I am supposed to call there. I got the idea from another plugin (Avatar Upload), where it seemed to be working fine.

This is the function in Avatar Upload plugin <?php echo avatarupload_display($user->ID, $force_db); if ($config->use_thumbnail == 1) { echo " &nbsp; " . avatarupload_displaythumb($user->ID, $force_db) . "</p>";}?> defined in avatar.php (from Avatar Upload plugin).

Now, if I was to define the exact function in bavatars.php and call it in post.php, I guess it would work, but I cannot find my way round the Bavatars plugin.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Regards,

Bob

Call me crazy, but I’m excited about this change. Initially, I wasn’t – but bbPress integration into WordPress has only benefits for me.

I can’t wait to see it come to fruition – and then get to work modifying my theme(s) to accommodate bbPress-as-WP-plugin! (Hey, what are a few more template tags, functions, and hooks to learn, among friends?)

To have WP send my admin password, I edited php.ini to use my ISP’s SMTP server instead of “localhost” (no SMTP server on this test host), restarted PHP-FastCGI, and clicked on the WP “Lost your password?”, but I get this:

“The e-mail could not be sent.

Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function…”

So can’t get the admin password back. Anyway, since it doesn’t complain about the password and just loops back, I assume it has to do with the WP/bbPress integration?

[Pete Mall]

No, the plugin is built directly on top of WordPress.

[Brian Duffy]

I installed wordpress using simplescripts. I installed bbpress manually.

Everything works fine until I add the following line to bb-config.php

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);

After adding the above code I can no longer login to bbpress.

Instead I get the below error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class PasswordHash in /home7/brianduf/public_html/wordpress/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.passwordhash.php on line 38

If anyone could help to throw some light on this for me I would be over the moon : )

Yeah I suspected as much. Thanks for switching it on Otto!

Sam did some work and then a great deal was copied over for bbpress.org 2.0

I noticed the xml generator was there and the flash element was on bbpress.org too.

Now if we could just get DD32 (Dion) to document the darn API for it as I have no clue how to use it and can’t find anything via google (other than downloading the ENTIRE dataset). https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/

Oh wait, here’s something http://wordpress.pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7Ji8rD2P

bingo – docs: http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-hackers/2009-January/023505.html

Doesn’t seem to be on the bbPress side anyway after all that, oh well.

ps. I don’t suppose you can get tags working again in the plugin section – they are not being imported from the readme.txt file anymore. Is it because of the tag api name changes from bbpress 0.9 -> 1.0 ?

ie. add_topic_tags became bb_add_topic_tags

but that’s in the deprecated support, so not sure what else it might be

[yetanotherlogin]

Thansk Kevin for the link.

I followed the whole procedure down to “3. Deep Integration > 8. Log into WP Dashboard”… but now, I can no longer log on (/wordpress/wp-login.php)

FWIW, it doesn’t say that the password is incorrect, but it loops back to Username/Password.

Tried Chrome and Firefox, same result. I did empty the browser cache, as asked in the procedure, same result.

FWIW2, I can still log on to bbPress as admin.

Any idea why I can no longer log on to WP?

BTW, when is “deep integration” needed? I’d simply like a link to the underlying bbPress forum to be displayed in the WordPress main UI.

Thank you.

Strangely enough, the code was all there to do stats, it just needed to be turned on and modified ever so slightly to make the graph work.

[chrishajer]

Good call:

https://bbpress.org/forum-theme/bborg/edit-form.php (404)

https://bbpress.org/forum-theme/bborg/front-page.php (200, empty)

Whew. Sorry I didn’t think to check the version here vs. mine!

Thanks for your patience.

[Ivaylo Draganov]

Works flawlessly now. Great thanks for that neat plugin and for the support. I am also in favor of keeping lightweight standalone bbPress

[citizenkeith]

Will the bbPress plugin still rely on BackPress?

[_KB_]

ck, Reference: see it

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/demo-one-wordpress-vs-multiple-bbpress

(activate it, its rescued from akismet)

[citizenkeith]

All this, while striving to be as light as possible

I liked reading that!

You guys are starting to win over this bbPress 0.9 user. See what communication can do for a community?

Once you get that settled, I’ll point out how year-long-cookies never executes, even though you have it installed. So just delete that old plugin.

So to make longer cookies when “remember me” is set, you’d have to edit the freshly-baked-cookies plugin, search for the number 1209600 and change it to 31536000 which is a year. Optionally you could set it smaller like 111600 which is 31 days.

[Ivaylo Draganov]

I should really consider learning how to use subversion I’ll try that and post the result shortly.

[_KB_]

So, here exactly What I want,

Suppose I’ve planned to run multiple discussion boards, and I’m using

http://zptest.info/ ( WordPress )

http://zptest.info/students/ [bbpress 1]

http://zptest.info/teachers/ [bbpress 2]

http://zptest.info/management/ [bbpress 3]

I’ve done:

-1: Shared User Integration ( Works )

-2: Shared Database Integration ( Works )

-3: Shared Cookies Integration (Not Works, that’s what I want)

I’ve followed all instruction from bbpress Integration tutorial

Now cookies not works, you can test it at zptest.info

user: test

pass: test

(I can send also admin’s or ftp detail, if anyone really interested)

cookies are conflicting, sometimes not logout from other boards.

Suggestion:

I’m hopping there should be a plugin, just for set cookies for multiple boards in same domain.

People just do, user integration, and database integration.

then install ( cookies plugin ), that’s all,

Come on, _ck_, you can do it,

Thanks

Oh wow. I’m an idiot.

Very sorry to put you through that – the version on bbpress.org is out of date!

It only does version 1, not version two.

I’ve just posted 0.0.4 which does version 2 (now set to default)

don’t forget to copy over the four define lines!

This is always updated faster than the copy in the plugin section.

[Ivaylo Draganov]

phpinfo() tells me that PHP is Version 5.2.13

Now, pretend I am crazy and tripple check the settings at the top

LOGGED_IN_KEY

LOGGED_IN_SALT

The two keys and salts are the same. Keys I get from wp-config.php and salts from wp-admin/options.php.

take a REALLY good look at the cookie data – it changes between bbPress and WP but really only two parts should change, the expire date and the hash. So between the last | in the data

How the hash forms is still not quite clear to me, but obviously that’s where the issue lies. I notice that it’s different every time I log in (no matter from which side). I if log in/out of WP 10 times I get 10 different hashes. But maybe that’s the normal way.

Other things to note:

* I am using year long cookies plugin on the bbPress side

* bbPress has a trailing slash in these settings:

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://dev.example.net/';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://dev.example.net/';

whereas WP has them without the slash:

define('WP_HOME', 'http://dev.example.net');

define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://dev.example.net');

* as you can see I am doing this on a dev subdomain and not on the live site. Even though I did test it on the live site(with the main domain) too and the result was the same

* the lines you mentioned in the plugin did not match: I had that code on lines 70 and 83

* define('AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 2 ); should be added at the top of _freshly-baked-cookies.php, right? I did not exist there in the plugin download, so I added it before starting the tests

Thanks a lot for helping out

@_ck_ i’m running multiple bbpress instances like

example.com/bbpress1

example.com/bbpress2

example.com/bbpress100

Is your plugin will work for this situation?

Also curious for matt’s response.

Thanks
