Thanks Kevin and burlesona,

It looks that it’s a few days-old problem. But I’ve had a longtime headache since I used multisite.

I was happy to hear that the wordpress 3.0 support multisite, expecting the problem might be solved.

Ok. I well understood.

I only hope that the problem be solved as soon as possible.

Thanks again.

Love it

Just an update on what’s going on Trac – bbPress 1.0.3 milestone has 3 tickets left (all the tickets have patches and 1 depends on a BackPress ticket), while 1.1 milestone has 4 tickets left (2 have patches, and 2 need patches). There’s also another BackPress ticket that needs to be fixed (which also has a patch). That means that bbPress 1.1 is very near to its release!

How can you help?

1. Checkout a copy of bbPress trunk version via SVN and test it.
2. Test the patches of the open tickets.
3. Contribute patches to the tickets which don’t have one.

What’s new in bbPress 1.1?

1. Email subscriptions
2. Loginless posting
3. Better administration of posts and topics
4. Better search and statistics
5. Bug fixes. Some critical ones are – #1261 (RSS feeds errors), #1146 (faster recount functions), #1150 (undelete topic error).
6. Better tags administration (if #1243 goes in)

Some tickets that missed 1.1 milestone are #960 (better user administration) and #1277 (kakumei cleanup) even though they had patches but could cause errors as they were huge changes and needed more testing. They might get into 1.2 though.

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

Here my website http://www.digitalheavens.co.uk Ive installed wordpress 3.0 and bbpress. It seems that a member of the website can’t be logged into the website and the forum at the same time? E.G. If a member logs in to see the free products and then goes over to the forum they have to log in again (using the same user name and password) Is this correct or a bug?

I am thinking of writing a converter. See here

[rohan_shenoy]

Hey Guys,

I have successfully converted MyBB forum into bbPress. I have got the users, forums, threads and posts tables into bbPress format!

I am not sure if the conversion went 101% correct. I am getting some errors like

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in bb-settings.php on line 186

There are 5 more similar errors but in different files.

Someone please help me get past these errors!

[blue007]

Fantastic, when will it be released? Looking forward to it!!!

Thank you

Andreas

Is it possible to make my bbpress forum at http://www.nissenfundoplication.com into a Private Forum with a monthly membership fee? If so, how would I go about doing this?

Thanks for any response!

Moderators,

I’ve been finding a lot of spam in the plugins directory forum.

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-integration/page/2/#post-5908

I monitor this RSS feed:

It’s pretty easy to catch the new spam if you’re monitoring all the Plugin discussion.

Folks,

please don’t derail this thread with nonsense about another forum software, we’re still trying to sort this one

[WimTibackx]

Hello Burlesona,

I’ve used vanilla (1.x) before but vanilla 2 was new to me. I’ve just checked it out briefly, but while I think using a framework (like Garden or others) to build a custom website, I don’t like the idea of using a framework to build a sort of webapplication (not sure what it should be called) which can be extended itself. (Then you’re actually building a mini-framework onto a framework)

Although the idea of using the MVC-pattern sounds interesting. It might be usefull for the theme stuff, although it isn’t a “go” yet.

Furthermore there is a difference between Garden and my to be fork of backpress. My fork would function as a basic cms. If you only need a simple website, you could go with my fork + the default included plugins. My blog and forum plugins would be just plugins. Garden however is a framework, it can do nothing on its own. It needs a layer (here : vanilla) on top of it.

As for your integration problems, you could try to integrate vanilla and wordpress untill you find something better?

However, the bbpress forum might not be the best place to have discussions about stepping off bbpress or forking it.

Thanks for the tip,

Wim Tibackx

You’re not an idiot mate, but this is where bbPress starts to struggle a bit – especially with no documentation.

You want to make a call to the Database directly via SQL (SQLECT * FROM blah blah blah), but thre is no quick fix. You can use the $bbdb class to connect to the database.

If your’e still struggling, do a hunt for $bbdb with here on google. Remember that search on this site su… has many inbuilt features that are not bugs

[burlesona]

Vevendi, I’ve got the same problem.

I don’t have a solution yet. I can get the two sites to appear to integrate (I work through the integration settings and everything proceeds as it is supposed to), but they don’t actually work.

What happens for me is the user database is not synced, but the cookies are at least partially synced, because if I log in to WP then BB doesn’t allow me to click on log-in, and if I log-out of one it logs me out of both.

However, if being logged into BB doesn’t actually give me access to WP-admin, and likewise, being logged into WP causes me not to be able to admin or post on BB – but I can’t click on log-in or register either.

I think Kevin is right – this is going to take a while to sort out. Compatibility between bbPress and WPMU was never easy as pie, and there’s no reason to expect it will suddenly be night-and-day easier with WP3.0.

[burlesona]

@WimTibackX

You know what might be worth checking out? Vanilla 2 (forum software) is pretty solid, and it’s built on “Garden” which is exactly like the BackPress concept you were talking about.

I’ve been trying to get bbPress to take care of my forum needs for a while, because I’m a heavy WordPress user and I’d like the two to integrate.

However, given the current level of frustration I’ve had with getting the integration to actually work, and the frustrating limitations of bbPress which don’t appear to be going away any time soon, I’m becoming more interested in seeing a fork of WordPress to run on top of Garden and integrate with Vanilla.

Anybody? Nobody?

venividi,

you give us less than 24 hours to answer.

WordPress3.0’s been out for about 2-3 days, and you’re talking about something not working that has never been supported.

Automattic made no effort to make sure things were cool with bbPress before releasing so we’re all going to have to wait until we get more reports in.

Lets not forget that a large number of people wait until the first (if not second) bug fix release is made availible before chaning over.

Patience is needed my friend, just don’t push untested just release software onto a live enviroment and you’ll be fine – and we know you didn’t do that because that would be so silly ;-]

[venividi]

Anybody? Nobody?

The problem made me a strong headache for a long time.

I get the idea that bbpress isn’t being actively worked

Nope, it is

…and that this Mat individual wants to abandon this project

Nope. Matt wants to convert it to a WordPress plugin.

Is this the person who made wordpress really great?

He’s one of the 500+ people that have contributed to WordPress.

Is this a good reason not to continue using bbpress? Is bbpress going to die out if Mat doesn’t work on it?

If bbPress works for you, then use it

If it doesn’t, then don’t.

bbpress is open source software, it’s not going to die. As long as you’re ok with a minimum year between releases, and a project lead who refuses to answer any questions or pass on any information (and most people are) then you’re fine with bbpress.

I’m new at bbpress and don’t know much about php. I can edit stuff, but I can’t really come up with anything on my own.

I’m editing another theme for bbpress and changing it to my own theme. Somehow or another there is no log out link. I need to know what that is. For logging in it is this :

‘<?php login_form(); ?>’

what do I put for logging in. I have a sidebar file and I want to put it there, so that when members are logged in, they can click on logout.

thank you in advance

[Gautam Gupta]

We’re trying to get 1.1 release out, can’t say much about it. There are only 7 tickets pending.

I wanted to use bbpress because I thought it was really simple to use and it was easy to integrate with wordpress. I’ve been looking at some posts recently and I get the idea that bbpress isn’t being actively worked on and that this Mat individual wants to abandon this project (?)

Is this the person who made wordpress really great?

Is this a good reason not to continue using bbpress? Is bbpress going to die out if Mat doesn’t work on it?

i understand these may be silly questions, but I am not trying to make a joke of things
