2kevinjohngallagher: “we” – not “you”. We – people who are insterested in good bbPress future.
2Gautam: no fork, calm down. I made this (radical) topic name to take attention of people who wants bbPress 2.0
i don’t want to fork too,
but, anyway, if we will not find people who’s in charge of this site… we need to make fork.
This is a good tutorial (with screenshots) for integration – http://www.wpmods.com/integrate-wordpress-bbpress
And for the time being, there’s no need to create a fork. Just create new tickets, contribute patches and after testing, chrishajer might commit them.
Matt did mention that about 10 people have access to site – I don’t know the names – maybe chrishajer also has the site access (I am not sure).
In fairness Yuri, while I’m unhappy at the way Matt has left bbPress, he is incredibly busy and recieves a crazy amount of email due to him being the effective face of the company.
Maybe you should have waited for a response instead of hounding him.
who are this people and why we can’t find them?
“We” is “you” mate. I used this thing called Google (or at least that is what the kids are calling it) and found this:
… documentation team has been put together comprised of Tom39Away, pmall, justintadlock, and Nightgunner5 …

Things with bbPress aren’t great. No-one is pretending they are. But they’ve not been great for well over a year now, and frankly its not going to change anytime soon. Lets just focus on getting 1.1 (or 1.0.3 – not sue when people started using different numbers) out the door, dealing with all the fall out of WordPress3.0 not integrating; and then we can take stock and see where we are.
Hounding Matt, or anyone from automattic, isn’t going to make the smallest difference I’m afraid.
i’ve got email from Matt:

Lots of people have access to modify the site.
Please stop bugging me.

Hi Tom,
thanks for your new version of the buddybar-in-bbpress plugin. It works in my installation.
I only get this error message because of commenting “out” the bp_adminbar_blogs-menu:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method wpdb::get_blog_prefix() in /kunden/199620_87439/webseiten/wp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php on line 193
1. bp_buddybar.php
/*add_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_blogs_menu’, 6 ); */
2. bp-core-adminbar.php
/* $blog_prefix = $wpdb->get_blog_prefix( $current_blog->id );*/
Is there another way to deactivate the “new blog” function? I use the WordPress Single Version 2.9.2 – and there is no function for new blogs.
Greetings
Markus
This tutorial also explains integration for WordPress 3.0 – http://www.wpmods.com/integrate-wordpress-bbpress (WP 3.0 also has cookie salts). Haven’t dug into this yet, maybe will do later.
Hi there,
I’m working on a bbpress 1.0.2, wordpress 3.0 beta and buddypress 1.2.3 setup, but now I’m having problems with my bbpress. I did the same setup with 2.9.2 and that worked great, but I’m guessing WordPress 3.0 changed a lot.
Here’s what happened.
I installed wordpress normally with a different username than “admin” with my own password, all went well. After that I installed buddypress as a plugin, this went like it should as well. Then when I reached the bbpress installation (step 2), I entered all the secret keys and salt as I had them in my wp-config.php and pressed next step, it said that everything was validated but then in step 3 it let me choose a keymaster username, which I find odd since 2.9.2 didn’t. I entered a username/e-mail and finished the setup without a problem. No problems encounterd in the setup was said in the setup logs. Now here’s the strange thing, it made the tables in my database (which is the database that holds wordpress as well) but it did not make a bb-config.php file, so when I went to the URL of the main forum page, it gave me an error (which is when I discovert that there was no bb-config.php). It also made “bb_users” and “bb_usermeta” in my database. I made bb-config.php myself after that with the same secret keys from wp-config and setup wp integration in bb-admin accordingly. This gave me shared cookie logins with my wordpress install (having bbpress intergration plugin installed in wordpress). But after having done all this, I cannot enter my bb-admin area anymore. I checked the files and figured out that the function bb_auth was causing me to be redirected to the main forum page.
So my question is, anyone solved this problem yet or can you help me solve it?
function bb_auth( $scheme = 'auth' ) { // Checks if a user has a valid cookie, if not redirects them to the main page
if ( !bb_validate_auth_cookie( '', $scheme ) ) {
nocache_headers();
if ( 'auth' === $scheme && !bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_redirect( bb_get_uri( 'bb-login.php', array( 're' => $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_USER_FORMS ) );
} else {
wp_redirect( bb_get_uri( null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER ) );
}
exit;
}
}
Yury – I totally agree that we as a community need more control over things like docs, etc.! But I can’t see Matt giving FTP and database rights to us… maybe instead, we can download copies of the various releases and plugins and upload them to a backup server somewhere? And start some docs on another server, as you have. 
Honestly – I would be shocked if Automattic shut down bbpress.org without warning. It would be a real black mark on Automattic’s reputation in the open source community, which is something Matt and his team are really proud of (and rightfully so). But if that’s something that a bunch of us are worried about, we can maybe create another thread to discuss how to prepare for that contingency.
Gautam – I’m not too worried about this next release, because Matt pretty clearly defined it before he disappeared:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/whats-happening-with-bbpress/page/5#post-64400
The next version though, we’ll definitely need to establish a clear direction – with or without Matt (but hopefully with him, or someone from Automattic!). But I’m not too worried about informing anyone… we’re posting on a public server, so it’s not like we’re hiding what we’re up to!
about style – i saw that topic long time ago, but where is Sam? you said that there are no alive admins…
Sam has left automattic, but he sometimes replies on the trac tickets. (See the bbPress.org 2.0 – sneak peak topic’s last pages). He has also mailed the design files to some other automattic guy.
Why do we need to bother Matt again? We have everything we need to get the next version out the door… the cavalry isn’t coming to save us, but I think that’s ok.
Atleast we must inform the person whose project it was initially – you wouldn’t like if someone had access to your project and kept making changes, releasing new versions etc. in your absense.
Yes, John.
I see big problem: Matt left project, no active admins of this site. Only Chris as moderator.
We don’t know who’s hosting this site, nobody controling FTP.
simpler: we can’t add here new documentation, new version of bbPress to download section, we can’t make new design.
So, we must know – who in charge with this site and can give us (community) more permissions.
…or one day we can open bbpress.org and see… nothing.
that’s why we need Matt for bbPress future
“And main question: Who is admin of this site with full access if Matt left project?”
Is that the part you’re referring to? I guess I’m not understanding what contingency we’re preparing for. Matt has already de facto left the project, and Chris has been doing a wonderful job of making steady progress towards the next release.
Is the concern that if bbpress.org is suddenly shut down, we won’t have a backup of the data? Sorry – just trying to get my head around your concern!
John, please read above why we need Matt (or somebody who is admin of this site).
Why do we need to bother Matt again? We have everything we need to get the next version out the door… the cavalry isn’t coming to save us, but I think that’s ok.
Chris is doing a great job managing trac, and we’re making steady progress til the next version! Once that comes out, maybe we can pull up then?
we’ve got 1 open ticket till 1.0.3 on trac?
sent another message to Matt, spam his Facebook page…
is he ignoring us? 
fix post position
function fix_post_position() {
global $bbdb;
$get_topics = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->topics ORDER BY topic_start_time ASC");
foreach( $get_topics as $get_topic ) {
$get_posttopic = $get_topic->topic_id;
$postorder = 1;
$get_posts = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->posts WHERE topic_id = '$get_posttopic' AND post_position = '1' ORDER BY post_time ASC");
foreach( $get_posts as $get_post ) {
echo "UPDATE bb_posts SET post_position = ";
echo $postorder++;
echo " WHERE topic_id = ";
echo $get_post->topic_id;
echo " AND post_id = ";
echo $get_post->post_id;
echo " ;";
echo '<br/>';
}
} }
echo fix_post_position in your template file and copy the sql query to your database
what is the name of your hosting company?
Yeah. It uses php5. What do you have to do, exactly?
Version 2.9.2, and yes all keys are defined in both files, with BB_ prepending the bb-config items.
@gerikg – thanks, I have updated wp-config.
Still no shared cookie, still no users showing up in bbPress.
Does your server use php5? I use 1and1 hosting and I have to put a line in the htaccess or I get the same thing.
I think I might have broken something when setting up bbPress. I wanted it integrated with my wordpress site. While installing, when it asked for the username for the “Key Master” I put in Murgy, which is my WordPress admin name. Anyway, I went through the rest of the installation, integrations, etc. But now, when I log into WordPress, it logs me out of bbPress, and when I log into bbPress it logs me out of WordPress, so… I’m thinking that naming the initial Key Master the same as my WP admin name maybe wasn’t the smartest idea.
But anyway. Is there any way to fix this, or should I reinstall or something?
