Zaerl: kudos to you for all the find contributions to bbpress.

Thanks man. Maybe I’ll add this to the plugin section.

[charmedlife]

Thank you very much for this plug-in. I got this same e-mail required error on new registrations and was stymied. I will install the plug in tomorrow and will report results. Zaerl: kudos to you for all the find contributions to bbpress.

So, if the theme is where you say it is, why doesn’t this come up?

http://blog.promomachine.com/bbpress/my-templates/promomachines/style.css

Also, this should work:

Both are not found. It doesn’t look like a permission issue. That would return a different error.

[chrishajer]

Yes, if the updates work as designed. We always were running the trunk version, but for some reason, the updates didn’t always work. I’m not even sure when they run. But the new code appears here automatically.

@saraw

if you have shell access, then browse to bbpress folder

chmod -R 644 my-templates

chmod 755 my-templates

this should fix it

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@chris

does that mean we will be running bleeding edge version live here now?

Sorry as I’m sure this has been brought up before, but I couldn’t find a good answer…

Is it possible to create user groups and establish private categories within a bbPress forum? I’m working on setting up a site that will work as a collaboration between 5 different organizations, and ideally I want the forum to work like so:

– – – – – – – – –

General Forums (anyone can see / post, sitewide moderators can moderate)

Org 1 Forums (anyone can see, only org 1 members can post, org1 officers and sitewide moderators can moderate)

Org 1 Officers Forum (only org 1 officers can see / post, sidewide moderators can moderate)

And so on for Organizations 2-5.

– – – – – – – – – –

I have been bashing my head against the wall trying to figure this out for a while, and it is basically what is keeping me from deploying bbPress.

My site is http://www.neohouston.com, which is a heavily customized WordPress site. I would love to use bbPress if I can because of how fast and light it is – but if I can’t effectively segment users then I can’t use it.

Any suggestions, or help?

In plugin search, none of the plugin links work, they all point to https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/#post-

So basically, people can’t find plugins at all…

[saraw]

here’s three shots — one for each directory level, with the “get info” dialog alongside:

Root Directory (showing bbPress folder permissions):

my-templates Directory (showing promoforums folder permissions):

promoforums Directory (showing style.css file permissions):

[saraw]

Here’s how the appearance/themes-selection screen looks — it’s as if I had no custom template uploaded at all.

There is only one bbPress installation on the server.

Hi Kevin,

Like you said, you have brief knowledge of BuddyPress, so please do not assume anything.

It’s actually quite straightforward if you have a deep integrated install.

If it’s not a deep integrated install, it requires some custom SQL insert.

@arturo – I’d work on such a plugin, but like you, I don’t have the time. If enough people supported such a plugin, I might feel enticed to create one.

[chrishajer]

I just used your header on a copy of the kakumei theme in my my-templates directory, and it was activated and shows up fine.

My guess is that it’s permissions (or maybe who owns the files.)

Can you post a file listing of the directory where bbPress is installed, showing permissions and ownership? Screenshot or actual file listing is OK. It’s generally from incorrect permissions.

[chrishajer]

Screenshot is fine, just leave it. I was only wondering if there would be one in the screenshot.

Yes, post a screenshot of the appearance panel. Sorry for the confusing terminology. I forget what it’s called in different versions.

Post a screenshot of the appearance panel please. Just wondering what it’s looking like.

Do you have two instances of bbPress installed, where you might be accessing the wrong one and thus not seeing your theme?

[btko]

Looking forward to it!

@gautam – Haven’t tested this yet, but great work. Glad to see some movement.

Silly question, but it’s possible to turn off anonymous, loginless posting right?

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Arturo,

I’m afraid that bbPress has many issues with a BuddyPress install (I know you’re not talking about the bbpress forum you can sintall into BuddyPress), to the point where we have had to basically shoot down any support corrolation between the two.

Getting bbPress standalone data into BuddyPress isn’t the work of a simple plugin, even looking at my very brief knowledge of BuddyPress it appears to be quite an ordeal.

With Buddypress having it’s own version of bbPress, and with you already asking on the Buddypress forums, I sincerely doubt you’ll have anyone at this end who thinks that’d be a good use of development time (sorry).

[citizenkeith]

Great news, thanks to everybody involved!

[Arturo]

really good news, in the weekend i begins the test!

[Arturo]

I’ve a bbPress standalone installation deep integrated with WP and i’ve BuddyPress installed.

We know the new posts and replies in bbPress (not group forums) isn’t in the activity stream of BuddyPress, i thing this is a good plugin to create, anyone interested?

a post in the BP forum from r-a-y give a start, this is the link: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bbpress-activity-not-coming-though/#post-59349

Do you load WordPress’ wp-load.php in bbPress?

[chrishajer]

Rescued from Akismet

[saraw]

I’m having the same problem with my custom template; I’m using a recent install of bbPress 1.0.2, and have uploaded my theme to the my-templates directory (I tried it in the bb-templates directory too, as a test) and have checked the directory structure to make sure that’s ok, my style.css header is correct, my permissions seem to be correct (755 on all folders/sub-folders, 644 on all files), there is no mod_security going on with my host… and yet, my theme does not appear in the “appearance” panel of the admin.

Are there any other details I should check? I need to get this sorted or my client will be unhappy.

Thanks –

Sara

[Gautam Gupta]

Because your server would be having the latest version of PHP.

[rohan_shenoy]

It is fixed in trunk, you can copy the changes to your install from here – https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset?new=2383%40%2F&old=2381%40%2F

Thanks a lot Gautam

On second thought,

Can you please tell me why the error arised? I had not edited any php file. All I did was fiddled with database!

[chrishajer]

Heh – the update finally took place automatically. We added that revision to the header a while back, but the code was not being updated here.

Also, We’re actually running 2442 here – the note I added to the version was the current revision. I should have jumped ahead one when I checked the code in. So, trunk and here are the same thing, despite the meta header.
