First of all you are asking for help and believe it or not I gave you an SQL query that actually help you cause it export all members’ emails that you can use for sending emails.

Seconded a quick search with a search engine called google will point you to a lot of topics in which mass email has been already discussed on bbpress.org:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mass-email-function

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/newsletter-plugin

in that topics you will find replies from _ck_, chrishajer and others that are IT experts that, believe it or not, have written the exact advice that you consider at number one of your personal 2010 list.

It’s the only way to do this. Otherwise you should replace the filter manually which is also a hugly hack. If you remove the filter and then add a custom code (I tried with a plugin) this doesn’t work cause the filter must be at the same exact position (after bb_encode_bad and force_balance_tags.) Changing the code againg when the SVN update it’s not difficult.

The first thing I’ve done after my very first installation of bbPress was to chage the backtick code. I think that using such character of inline code is not a wise choice. First of all cause that character is hard to find on keyboard layouts different from USA. Seconded cause that character is widely used on several language (Perl, Ruby, PHP, MySQL, Lisp, TeX and other.) I can’t write significant portion of code without breaking the formatting.

Hey drcoach. Hoping it might help you, I’ve dumped my edits into pastebin to avoid the bbPress forum’s reformatting. I’ve also added a few placement notes. http://pastebin.com/uZwUJCtA

Only 2 things that I could think of (with my limited knowledge of it all) is:

1) Is your setup a “deep integration” of WP+bbP?

2) The code that I said to add included some stuff that was already there (I guess “edit” would have been a better term). Only the “strong” code was the addition. The code I placed on pastebin includes notes on existing and unchanging lines and what & where to add. (sorry if you already understood that, I’m just trying to think of mistakes I might have made)

I hope that helps and good luck!

Thanks – worked it out by unzipping bbPress on my Mac then uploading it.

[Tricia1]

I’ve downloaded bbPress onto my Mac, put the unzipped file into a folder called ‘forum’ in my site, then uploaded the folder. What URL should I be using to find it now?

[…] Then replaced the code of .htaccess with the code in nicer-htaccess > activated plugin > activated permalinks name based option from admin panel.

But got following error: […]

Hi! It seems you did not read my installation instructions carefully:

(1) FIRST activate name based permalinks

(2) then perform automatic/manual update

As for “name not allowed” on the server, do the same: go to bbPress admin panel and activate name based permalinks. It will generate the htaccess file automatically, if folder permissions are set. If not, set them or create the file yourself (you may leave it blank) and let bbPress do the rest. THEN you may perform (2).

Hi guys

Thanks for the kind words. We are also very happy with the implementation and there is more to come.

The hardest part in this project was migrating the 2 million forum posts from phpBB to bbPress.

Don’t hesitate to ask us any questions on how we did this.

Cheers

Andreas

Just gone through this process, and for the most part it was painless (I had to go through and remove those offending characters).

But I can’t get my head around the password situation, the documentation with the plugin seems to suggest that the users password will be converted upon login, but they can’t log in because their password has changed.

Link to plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/md5-insecurity-for-bbpress/

What exactly is this plugin doing then? am I just stuck with everyone needing to reset? In which case do I need this plugin installed?

[btko]

It was giving me the “Admin” link along the top and when ever I pressed it, it would always forward me back to the forum home. But I just went to look again and now it works….

Strange (or maybe not).

I think maybe I hadn’t finished the wordpress integration completely? Seems to be working now.

Thanks

[chrishajer]

Looks like the bbPress forum footer.php is trying to load a WordPress file? For this integration, maybe you should find the file that’s being referred to (_contentfooter.php) and just hard code the path to it, rather than relying on the constant THEME_LIB, which doesn’t appear to be working.

One problem at a time.

Also, it’s just a warning, although it’s warning you something is not working. On a production site, you should not display warnings. During development, it’s good to see them, even if they’re just logged, so you can fix problems like this.

[chrishajer]

I don’t think anyone knows. I wouldn’t wait around for an answer. My advice would be to just go ahead with your forum and deal with the future when it arrives.

[chrishajer]

When you log in to your forum, as keymaster or administrator, the link for administration will be present. Until you are logged in with permissions, accessing bb-admin directly like that will just keep redirecting you to the forum home.

If you are already logged in but trying to access bb-admin, chances our the user account you are using is not the keymaster or administrator.

Did you integrate with WordPress?

Thanks for ur plugin.I tried it but unfortunately it didn’t worked for my forum.I changed the RewriteBase as follows while I was testing it on localhost as my test forum is installed at http://localhost/bbpress/

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /bbpress/

Then replaced the code of .htaccess with the code in nicer-htaccess > activated plugin > activated permalinks name based option from admin panel.

But got following error:

“Oops! This link appears to be broken.”

in Google Chrome while navigating the forum.

Secondly even I tried to test ur plugin on my server where my forum is installed at http://www.xyz.com/ so I changed RewriteBase to

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

But I could not find any .htaccess file in root folder on server.So I tried to upload it through FTP but got an error :

“The name you specified is not allowed”

coz of “.” in .htaccess name.

Please help..

[btko]

I’m having an issue along the same vain. I know where the bb-admin is but when I go to the URL it forwards me back to the main page.

In other words:

I enter http://www.yoursite.com/bbpress-directory/bb-admin/

and it forwards me to http://www.yoursite.com/bbpress-directory/

So I can’t think of a way to get to the admin area…

[SgrWd]

I want to setup a bbPress forum on my website EstateYard.com immediately, but my concern is what happens when eventually bbPress is turned into a WordPress plugin as they are planning to do? Will my forum members all need to re-register, and will I lose all my topics? Or will there be some way to integrate the entire database with my WordPress database?

[arcadedig]

Hi. My new forum can be found here http://cfdblaze.com/forums/

1. stationpro is the WP theme, and the bbPress forum, wordpress installed on main url and shares db with bbPress. I really don’t know code or php, but it looks like I am missing a file, see the warnings below, or at the site:

Warning: include(THEME_LIB/_contentfooter.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cfdblaze/public_html/forums/bb-templates/BaseStationForum/footer.php on line 8

Warning: include(THEME_LIB/_contentfooter.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cfdblaze/public_html/forums/bb-templates/BaseStationForum/footer.php on line 8

2. The mailchimp email widget in the lower right footer is jogged funny. On the regular site it looks fine. What can I do? I have looked at this on Safari and Firefox and it is the same on each.

I really appreciate any help whatsoever. Thank You!

New weird text replacements: TRAC tickets!

Oh, and forum header says: Welcome, username | | Log Out

[ghettobsd]

I was looking for where I could do this. Would it possibly be in :

bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/functions.formatting.php ?

Or would it be in one of the posting php files?

Any more tips you can offer I’d appreciate!

I had seen in another post someone refer to the following:

$str = preg_replace( ‘/`&[^;s]{0,6}$/’, ”, $str );

could that be modified to do what you said? Taken from functions.formatting.php

Thank you

Just want to be able to disable the visibility of the “username” as I feel this compromises security a bit.

You can hide it with a plugin but the user login is still in the URL:

bbpress.org/forums/profile/chrishajer

With a plugin of mine you can hide profile pages but it hide the entire page. Or in other words it spawn an error page with a custom message. I don’t think this is what you need.

[_ck_]

Ah you mean you want to work under the display name in 1.x

The problem is the user functions in bbpress work with user login or the user id.

Security via obscurity never works for long.

But you’re probably working under user id # 1 which is also a potential security issue as it gives hackers a target.

[CSCLEGAL]

I mean like on this page: https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chrishajer

Your username to login is chrishajer ? Just want to be able to disable the visibility of the “username” as I feel this compromises security a bit.

[_ck_]

If you want the code tag to keep working but disable backticks, you’ll have to make a filter that encodes them into a html entity (`) before it gets to bbpress’s filters.

[_ck_]

I think they mean where the admin is hidden on a system so the account is not a target to get hacked.

On each post, bbpress shows your level.

You can just create a different account to post with and another to administrate.
