    Oh God, I spent all day trying to get this to work

    I deleted everything then I have uploaded bbpress to wwww.appertunity.com/forum again but when I go there and enter the details still getting

    “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.

    Please check the settings, then try again.”

    Booghoo – anyone help?

    Its going to be something very simple cos Im new to this

    Ah BackPress.

    Like Marrying my high school sweetheart it was a wonderful idea at the time, that somehow comes back to bite me on the behind every damned day ever since ;-]

    (here’s hoping she doesn’t google me!!)

    Mr Pelle,

    I truly believe that bbPress is a grand little product, it’s so flexible and extendable that it’s potential in unbridaled. if your forum doesn’t requite alot of moderation, then I can’t think of anything better than bbPress.

    It’s just hampered by no management and no communication, which I feel only exasperate/exagerate it’s problems. And this comes from the the moany SoB who points them out ;-)

    bbpress 1.0.3/1.1 (cos we’ve no-one in charge to make the decision to release anything) contains a great number of bug fixes that have plagued bbPress for too long. All small, all annoying and great to get them out of the road. Even if you don’t need the 2 new** features, it will be a good thing when this comes out and you upgrade.

    I’m all for pointing out mistakes, and keepingon top of this to geet things released, and maybe get some answers out of someone at some time (Seriously, 6 months per blog post – crazy from the company behind WordPress blogging platform) and then we’ll take stock and see what happens then.

    ** they’re not new, we’d had them for years as plugins. God himself only knows why we couldn’t have a bug fix release instead, then work on new features. But that requires stakeholders to be consulted and decisions to be made…

    Gareth Gates earned a bit over of leway in the Gallagher household for Jordan, but Stuart McCall… y’all are going to hell of keeping him alive/busy for a while longer ;-)

    Anyway, what you want is to make sure that your bbPress config file has the same info as teh wordpress config file for each of these below

    in WordPress

    define( 'DB_NAME', 'database_name' );

    /** MySQL database username */

    define( ‘DB_USER’, ‘user_name’ );

    /** MySQL database password */

    define( ‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’ );

    /** MySQL hostname */

    define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );

    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */

    define( ‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’ );

    /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */

    define( ‘DB_COLLATE’, ” );

    in bbPress

    define( 'BBDB_NAME', 'database_name' );

    /** MySQL database username */

    define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘user_name’ );

    /** MySQL database password */

    define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’ );

    /** MySQL hostname */

    define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );

    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */

    define( ‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’ );

    /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */

    define( ‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ” );

    If they are the same, then I’m a bit clueless right now

    Just a quick reminder, that we’ve now reached 6 months without a blog post on bbPress (13th Jan to 13th Jun).

    And we haven’t been able to type code on the forum for the last 3 weeks, and 30% of the pages in the new theme haven’t actually been ported over; and basic links in the header and footer are no longer working.

    Geez… this makes me damn the day I chose bbPress as forum software for my company…

    #89629

    A Bradford man eh? I was down there on thursday.

    Anyway, welcome to bbPress.

    What you want to do here is look at your WordPress config file (wp-config.php) that is already on your website (i am presuming here that you’re wanting to add a forum for appertunity.com – or at least on the same server).

    You will see what it has for each of the details that you filled in for the corresponding bb-config.php file. that should give you some insight as to what the database settings should be :)

    Makes sense. I got that error about 15 times when I made a test post at http://bbpress.chrishajer.com/trunk

    The post still went through, and the code is all messed up.

    This was the bbPress ticket:

    https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1283

    Closed it and made a BackPress ticket:

    http://backpress.automattic.com/ticket/25

    If anyone really wants to know what’s going on with bbPress, I suggest contacting Matt Mullenweg. I don’t know if there’s anyone else in charge who would know more.

    Kevin, we added the svn revision number to the version, so any theme that echos the meta generator tag will have the version, like “1.1-alpha-2440”. Checking the source here, this site is not running the very latest trunk, although it is running trunk of some revision (but a revision before 2441 – we just don’t know which one since the version tag was not changed until 2441.)

    [meta name=”generator” content=”bbPress 1.1-alpha” /]

    On my test installation http://bbpress.chrishajer.com/trunk/ you can see it’s running r2441:

    [meta name=”generator” content=”bbPress 1.1-alpha-2441″ /]

    Test posting there in code tag or backticks shows completely fubar formatting. It is apparently something we can fix in trunk. Not sure when that particular problem was introduced.

    Last blog entry here was 6 months ago!

    Not a good sign.

    It’s always like that though. Back when we had a paid full time developer I didn’t know he existed for the first 3.5 months I was involved in the project.

    Management, and Communication of it’s decidions, is the single biggest roadblock of bbpress in going forward.

    #89653

    Gautam,

    Can you confirm if this “Greater than” and “less than” nonsense is in the nightly builds, and thus something for us to fix in the latest version, or if it’s down to a hack purely on the bbPress website.

    Because it’s getting quite mental.

    #89690

    Is bbPress going to live or morph into something else?

    Both. According to Matt, who stated it back in January in the middle of an IRC chat, bbPress will become a WordPress plugin… eventually.

    I doubt that’ll happen anytime soon though.

    With the release of WP 3.0 just around the corner (I am already running WP3 RC2), what’s going to happen with bbPress then?

    Same as what’s happening now. Some good folks will work on code (some community members, some Automattic folks), and we’ll sitin silence not knowing what tomrrow will bring.

    Do I install bbPress on WP as a forum and use BuddyPress to access it?

    If you’re using BuddyPress, you’re not talking to the people behind the bbPress you’re using. the bbpress that works with BuddyPress is a different beast, and for some reason they decided not to rename it, so we get the support questions and bad rep – constantly!

    Or is something going to change and make the combination and integration of all the plugins for each and of WP3/bbPress/BuddyPress all too much of a royal pain in the petutie?

    WP/BuddyPress plugins are never going to work with bbPress.

    There’s a long answer behind why, but basically, thats a no go.

    I wish someone could give me some clarity on the direction bbPress and BudyPress are going.

    BuddyPress actually has some great folks who are very communicative and support their community so well it’s unreal. But you’d need to be on the BuddyPress forum for that – as it’s got nothing to do with us.

    bbPress, well, we’d all like some communication – but thats never been it’s strong point. Don’t worry, thats not new, and it’s not going to change.

    Someone. Anyone?

    As rude and weird as this entire topic is, the reality is the form of bbPress that you have known up to now and through 1.1 (1.2?) from Automattic is over.

    Once bbPress stops being stand-alone, everything will change: all the advice on this entire forum will be mostly useless, the plugins and themes will be pointless for the WordPress plugin version of bbPress.

    In fact they should probably call the plugin something other than bbPress as it will only confuse people when they search for help and resources for the plugin.

    The turning point for bbPress was BackPress. The state we are in now is 100% the problem with that decision (made by Matt in January 2008, quite cavalierly IMHO).

    To be more specific, bbPress based on BackPress actually would have been almost acceptable, IF, and this is critical, IF WordPress had been also converted to use BackPress. But it wasn’t and now almost obviously never will be.

    So we are left with an orphaned product, not bbPress, but BackPress itself, which makes the 1.x line of bbPress a dead-end because of it’s dependency.

    I need to be very careful what I say next because some people immediately jump on every word as some kind of promise, which I am not making. All I can say is that I will attempt to maintain 0.9 in my own way as long as reasonably possible (years?) until a better solution emerges (which is unlikely, but we’ll see).

    Considering how it’s all up to Matt now, I’d be *more* polite to him, not less.

    #34491

    The other big question in my mind is this.

    Is bbPress going to live or morph into something else?

    With the release of WP 3.0 just around the corner (I am already running WP3 RC2), what’s going to happen with bbPress then?

    I am at a critical stage with my site’s development and I have to make a decision to jump one way or the other; partly because I just don’t have the time or money to develop two themes for one site.

    Do I install bbPress on WP as a forum and use BuddyPress to access it? Or is something going to change and make the combination and integration of all the plugins for each and of WP3/bbPress/BuddyPress all too much of a royal pain in the petutie?

    I wish someone could give me some clarity on the direction bbPress and BudyPress are going.

    Someone. Anyone?

    I find it incredible that a program that is well loved and which has such great potential seems to be so unloved by its developer.

    The only thing I can think of is that his keynote speech graphics must have taken him a helluva long time to write.

    But the big question in my mind is this. Do we stick with bbPress and all the doubts about its viability in its own right, and move over to BuddyPress with its one click install, or stick with it?

    If you try to add a tag to a topic that doesn’t have any tags yet, using the box below the topic title, the whole page refreshes in order to add the tag (whereas it should do it within the page using Ajax).

    Even this is normal.

    Then, if you try to delete all the tags in a topic which has more than one tag, when you attempt to delete the last one it flashes red to denote it’s being deleted, but it then pops up again and a message appears saying ‘An unidentified error has occurred.’

    I had posted a fix for this on my blog – http://gaut.am/2009/12/tags-not-getting-deleted-in-bbpress/ (maybe this is your problem).

    Hiya,

    Very sorry for long post, hoping someone might be help to shed some light on this problem…

    If you try to add a tag to a topic that doesn’t have any tags yet, using the box below the topic title, the whole page refreshes in order to add the tag (whereas it should do it within the page using Ajax).

    If you try to add a tag to a topic which already has at least one tag, then it comes up within the page, highlighted yellow etc using Ajax. That should be normal.

    Then, if you try to delete all the tags in a topic which has more than one tag, when you attempt to delete the last one it flashes red to denote it’s being deleted, but it then pops up again and a message appears saying ‘An unidentified error has occurred.

    – – –

    I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, with the tags ajax function not working, which I found out was due to a single space at the end of one plugin file.

    Now though, I have disabled all plugins, am using the default template, I have re-uploaded both older backup versions and the latest trunk version of bbpress, but still have the problem!!

    Am not sure if it could be a problem with the database? Looking at my database, the bb_tags and bb_tagged tables are both empty?? I do have tags in my forum though, where are they stored?

    Does anyone have any clue as to the problem?

    It could be the ajax is broken because of a random extra character somewhere?

    Or the ‘unidentified error’ is due to the database??

    Exactly. After that I manually deleted bbpress_been_blocked from usermeta table for that user but it got back somehow.

    I just upgraded to latest revision from the trunk (2442), but the problem persists. This site is still in testing stage so I’m going to reinstall it and see if that helps.

    I would contact the same person that installed your WordPress and ask them for help as it’s obvious you did not install it yourself.

    You might also try an automated install but change your password afterwards and backup your database first:
