Hi,

I have just installed BbPress and I can’t find if this is possible, I want to have a forum where anybody can public topics, no registration required.

Is this possible ?

[Francesco Bigiarini]

bbpress-signatures does work for me in three different 1.0.2 installations.

Hi All,

Is anyone up for some small customisation work for bbPress and WP Hybrid themes?

Some tasks are

WP Hybrid:

– Customising the font colour, header etc

– Inserting social media table on sidebar (Facebook and Twitter updates) and few other staff.

More details will be shared once you contact me.

You will get 100% support i.e. I will tell you exactly what you need to do, you don’t need to spend any times for brainstorming, that means you will just follow my instruction using your technical skills/knowledge . Bear in mind that depending on this task we have more other jobs available. Also please remember we need to have this job done asap.

If anyone interested please leave a reply on forum with your email address or email me at minervainuk@gmail.com quoting how much would you like to charge.

Thanks

[Francesco Bigiarini]

can someone convert them for money/free ?

For free? I don’t think so (a mere fork is always a bad choice). For money? Maybe. But please notice that nearly every bbPress plugin out there is licensed under the GPLv2 and derivated works must be in GPLv2 too.

EvilGeek,

With all due respect, what basic features we had working in 0.9 still work in 1.0. bbPress 1.0 didn’t take-away/change any of the basic features in the core; if anything it added to them slightly. Yes ther are basic forum features that bbPress doesn’t have, but then it’s never had them.

I doubt anyone will convert the plugins you need for free because 1) if they wanted to they would have done so already, 2) you’ve only been part of the project for 1 week and 3) You didn’t say please (manners count for alot)!

You could pay for someone to convert them for you, but that would be a separate request, and would be time consuming (and possibly/probably expensive).

Also, please don’t bump your thread, especially as you bumped it 2 minutes after you last posted, thats just stooopid – this forum aint that busy

And finally, its not for me to be anyone else’s moral voice, but man, thats a poor assed website; with the sole purpose of sending spam email.

Hi together,

in my working integration between WordPress and bbPress I’ve the following cookie keys matched:

WordPress:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’,’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

bbPress:

define( ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );

define( ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );

define( ‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );

define( ‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );

define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

Evtl. you need the Salt Keys too?

Without the Salt Keys my old installation doesn’t work, in my new (fresh) installation it worked without the Salt Keys.

My cookie keys match between the 2 configs. I didn’t have the COOKIEPATH definition in bbpress, only in wp, so I put that in but still no luck.

I have wp installed in a sub-directory so my statement is: define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/blogs/’);

I just tried another test install without sub-directory and that won’t work either!

[Arturo]

i’m working on a “normal” version of the theme, the deep integration version is for full functional forum with bp user profile etc… in the weekend i release the normal version of the theme.

[jakshi]

Check wp-config.php and bb-config.php closely. May be you forget something to do.

Did you cut to 32 chars BB_AUTH_KEY = AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY=SECURE_AUTH_KEY in wp-config.php and bb-config.php?

I have working cookie integration now.

My wp-config.php (without comments and passwords)

<?php

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wpuser’);

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘StrongPassword’);

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_general_ci’);

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’);

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

define (‘WPLANG’, ‘ru_RU’);

if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);

?>

My bb-config.php (without comments and passwords)

<?php

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’ );

define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘wpuser’ );

define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘StrongPassword’ );

define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );

define( ‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’ );

define( ‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_general_ci’ );

define( ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );

define( ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );

define( ‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );

define( ‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ’32charsalphanumerickeys’ );

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;

define( ‘BB_LANG’, ‘ru_RU’ );

?>

There are a lot mention about problem with cookie integration wordpress 2.9.2 and bbpress 1.0.2 .

So you are one of the many

[chrishajer]

WordPress mentions creating the database first, in (2) here:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install

Their docs are a lot more comprehensive than those for bbPress.

[subgdubb]

So I have this idea for a forum. Basically, it is a collaborative forum where based on certain criteria it matches up two people. They then each submit word documents. Once both are submitted, the site then allows them to download each other’s document. That way, it ensures that in order for one person to get a document, they need to submit their own for the other person to look at.

Does anyone out there know if this would be possible to program into a bbpress forum, or am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks for the help!

[chrishajer]

Here’s the recent post about the array problem:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-is-my-last-post#post-67425

[chrishajer]

Not sure what happened or is happening. It’s not marked as a bozo. It also shows no posts. Here’s a screenshot of the admin screen here:

http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/ericnovak.png

I’ve seen that array thing reported before and suspect it’s related to akismet or bozo, but haven’t been able to pin it down.

[chrishajer]

No one knows at this point.

Hi,

How hard will it be to upgrade to the WP bbpress plug-in (when it’s ready) from the standalone bbpress 1.0.2 installation?

[Francesco Bigiarini]

First: the installation instructions don’t mention that you need a mail server in order to send emails cause it is implicit. Is like saying that you need to connect to the gmail servers in order to send emails from your gmail account.

Second: yes they are. XAMPP and other LAMP software are just test platforms and they are very different from a service that professional hosting companies give you. A little configuration is needed and setting up a mail server is one aspect that you must cover.

Third: Pegasus Mail must be configured. bbPress no (only the mail in bb-admin/options-general.php). It just use the mail() functionality of PHP that is a layer on top of the email server specified at server level.

Four: no. 99% of companies that provide hosting solutions do give you access to a fully functional mail server and you don’t have to worry about that.

[joan3691]

First of all, the installations instructions for bbPress doesn’t say anything about Mercury? Wonder why?

Second, there seems like Mercury and Pegasus mail are two different (or separate) softwares, but since Pegasus mail is mentioned in the reply above I will go for that one.

Third, do I just need to make some settings in Pegasus Mail, and then I’m ready to send confirmation mails or do I have to apply settings in php.ini, ppPress or some other place?

Four, on this stage I’m only run bbPress locally, but then if I want to put it online on some web host, I don’t need Pegasus Mail do I?

[InsomniAK]

I have a similar question. I installed WP2.92., then BuddyPress 1.2 and now I’m looking to add forums to the site. I looks like I can go with WP Forums or possilby BBPress? I want something clean and simple (like BBPress) and integration with user accounts. Am I looking in the right direction?

When I go to install the BBPRess plugin on my site through the install tool, bbpress says “DON’T Install me! I’m not ready”… so… what is the deal?

[f00f]

You want to look here to find such a function: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1207

[ekitel]

I have a wp/bbp integration where I recently upgraded both from previous versions to wp 2.9.2 and bbp 1.0.2. I was able to get them to share accounts so you can login to both with the same passwords but I can’t get the cookie integration working at all. Logging into one doesn’t automatically log you into the other.

I decided to do a fresh install of the latest versions of both to see if that would work but I’m having the exact same issue. I tried cutting the salts down to 32 characters as suggested above but still no luck.

I installed the bbpress integration plugin in wp but that’s not helping either.

I’m wondering if there is some incompatibility between wp 2.9.2 and bbp 1.0.2?

This is on a dreamhost server, and it all worked well before I tried to upgrade.

[gaziks52]

yes, everything works great, only problem is “/forum/forum/” in the URL

thanks for plugin suggestion … I will check it out

[chrishajer]

Sounds like your links are correct. Does everything work?

Since you installed bbPress into a directory called “forum”, that will always be part of the URL. If you are viewing a forum, you will have the second forum in the URL, then you will have the title of the forum. That is how it works here as well:

Requests and Feedback

• bbPress is in a directory called “forums”
• You are viewing a forum, so “forum” is part of the URL
• “requests-and-feedback” is the name of the forum

So, sounds like it’s working correctly on your site.

Not everyone likes how that works (even though it appears to be working as designed on your site), so there are a couple plugins to change this functionality. Here is the most recent one:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nicer-permalinks/

[gaziks52]

this is my site file structure (look in the pic, link below)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6055448/Capture.PNG

bbPress is in the “forum” folder.

I turned on permalinks and created .htaccess files for both, WP and BB.

now when I type in browser “http://mysite.com/forum&#8221; and click on one of the forums it

redirects me to “http://mysite.com/forum/forum/forum-title&#8221;

How my .htaccess files must look like so it shows only one /forum/ in URL?

Should I use one .htaccess file?

WP htaccess http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6055448/wp_htaccess.txt

BB htaccess http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6055448/bb_htaccess.txt

[wemaflo]

I have activated your theme, it works great! Tanks for that!

But deep integration is a little bit too much in my opinion

[hallubaloo]

Is there a plugin to extend the profile about a user?

Would be nice with custom text-fields, checkboxes and so, that the keymaster could setup for the users to fill out in their profiles when they are signing up or editing their profile.

I could for example use an “About me” field on my bbpress.
