Hello

I successfully set up Buddypress. and added the internal Buddypress forum.

Now I have decided I would like to have BBpress freestanding for the moment.

Having taken some steps to backtrack suggested on the Buddypress forum,

http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/create-a-site-forum#post-46052

the problem is that the BBpress installer with not run.

Here are the steps carried out:

In Buddypress admin: removed checkbox for forums.

In Mysql admin: Removed all tables with BB_ prefix

Uploaded buddypress files to public_html/forums/ folder

permissions on top level folder are set to 777

Folders and permission image here: http://twitpic.com/1c9ics

Tried running install from

mysite.com/forums

mysite.com/forums/

mysite/forums/index.php

mysite.com/forums/install.php

I also tried inserting wp-config.php data into BB-config.php file….

All give Page not found. What additional steps may I be missing that cold get the installer to run?

Wish I could say that worked, but it didn’t. All folders are 755, but the custom folder still doesn’t come up in Appearance. I even have the custom folder in bbpress template and my templates and it’s not showing up.

The tricky thing with Hidden Forums is the lack of a frontend. The plugin doesn’t have a frontend at all… there are only manual settings which let you set individual forums as hidden or not. The frontend is handled through bbPress’ built-in “move topic” pulldown…

That said, someone might be able to hack Hidden Forums to add an extra frontend toggle that lets admins hide individual topics!

from SAM

“A first attempt at getting WordPress 2.7 and bbPress 1.0 to play nice again is now in trunk [1862].

I’m specifically talking about “deep” integration, i.e. when you include WordPress inside bbPress to gain access to WordPress’ functions.

This will need a lot of testing, so please post any issues you have on the relevant Trac ticket, #972 (which will stay open until some more testing has occurred).

I recommend using the following code at the top of your bbPress bb-config.php file to include WordPress inside bbPress:

if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {

include_once( ‘/Full/Path/To/wp-load.php’ );

}

Note that this includes “wp-load.php” not “wp-config.php” or “wp-blog-header.php”. This avoids running WordPress’ template loader which presumably isn’t needed inside bbPress. Some implementations may want it though, so if you find you need it then give it a go and let us know how that goes.

Also note that all filters and actions set in WordPress whether default or added by plugins or themes are cleared out completely. That means that plugins and themes installed in WordPress cannot add filters or actions to bbPress at all. This may have some implications I’m not aware of yet.

Go nuts! “

I don’t see how any GPL software can actually die. The source is out there, all of it, every version. Everyone is free to modify it and distribute it as they wish under the GPL. We all have our own copies. The community will die if we let it. But the software will live on.

You can check the progress of recent work for the 1.0.3 release, which will be mainly a bug fix release, here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/milestone/1.0.3

There’s no date set, but you can see the number of remaining tickets.

Hi there. Here you can find the complete (and revised) italian translation of bbPress 1.0.2.

The .po file.

The .mo file.

Hope it helps. Have a nice day.

January 13 last meet… april now, no new version…bbpress is dead?(

[Navin]

Still looking forward to the codes……

I have a similar problem –

I installed bbPress today and logged in as administrator then tried to move around the initial post.

Whenever I try to ‘Send Post’ (also when I try to ‘edit’ a post/topic; or click on a topic as administrator), I get the following error msg –

Warning: include() [function.include]: Filename cannot be empty in /…../public_html/members/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45

Warning: include() [function.include]: Filename cannot be empty in /home/…/public_html/members/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ” for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/…./public_html/members/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 45

I have re-FTPed ‘functions.bb-template.php’ but I still get the same problem.

There seems to be a bug in the code of ‘functions.bb-template.php’ – i.e. there is nothing within the brackets after the include function ().

Any way of resolving this quickly?

Thanks

Derek

hi gerikg,

thanks for your reply.

by saying `but actually i lost

define( ‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/wordpressmu’ );`?

i mean:

on task 7 after i clicked on save changes,

i got four lines (notfive as i wrote above)

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘9ff1a614da865684d07223b202d18708’ );

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.10.10.1.20’ );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpressmu/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpressmu/’ );

i think this is the resean that

when i log into bbpress then

i can log into wordpressmu automatically

but i cant log into wordpressmu admin automatically

i think it has nothing to do with buddypress.

what do you think?

by the way

you can check this out ,it seems that some guy have met the same problem:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/298537/page/2?replies=47

scroll down to the middle of the page (mjjinvincible’s post)

thanks

[gerikg]

log out and login in on the bbpress side. This is a known issue with integration.

[AudiblySilenced]

I just installed bbPress 1.0, and integrated it with my WordPress. Everything I can access seems to be working fine. However, when I try to go to the admin panel, I’m just redirected back to my bbPress’ main page. What can I do?

[gerikg]

For bbPress Forum just download the plugin

for the BuddyPress Group Forum you need someone to convert it to BuddyPress compatible.

example = https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras

Some of the bbPress plugins were converted.

[gerikg]

go to buddypress.org click on Developers then Plugins or https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/

Is this plugin still around?

Can it be used to also limit forums to specific Roles created inside WP?

[Craig Sunney]

@Gerikg

May I ask a follow on question? I involves the protection of individual forums.

From this post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-topics#post-66521 an explanation is

given on how to protect specific groups.

In that post it mentions role’s. If I have specific roles already inside my WP site other than subscriber

(which I think is member in bbPRESS), for example: Free, BRonze, Silver, Gold…can I limit specific

“Group” forums to just those roles or an aray of roles?

Hi All,

Just wanted to past on that I seem to have the wordpress plugin ‘W3 Total Cache’ working great with my deep integration version of bbPress 1.02, As long as you don’t enable the ‘Inline JS minification’ and ‘JS minify’ in the plugin the reset seem to work great and I have noticed a slight speed improvement…

My forum : http://www.diyextra.com/forum/ (have a look at the compressed source)

Anyway just thought I would pass it on….

Chris.

[chrisbrocklesby]

Hi Gautam,

Thank you, you are a 100% star ! , I really do think this is a issue that the bbPress team should look in to correcting in the next version of bbpress… This one is a spammer god send.

Thank you so much for answering I thought I was talking to myself, I hope someone else here finds this info useful to protect there forums.

Kind Regards,

Chris

File rss.php at line 182. It seems that bbPress retrieves the last 35 posts if called like /rss

if ( !$posts = bb_get_latest_posts( 35 ) )

die();

you can add a new case on top of that file but I don’t think that it’s a wise choice expecially if you have a huge forum.

[pagal]

@ miruru.. I’m happy that you are also interested in this issue… I was also searching the same thing.. but I’m depressed and left if..

yes you are right this issue is two year old… “but we are new on bbpress”

I know its not good to highlight someone but It was hurting …

I was interested in this post https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-list-alterations .. because the Micheal has been successful to solve this issue.. I also tried it… but i had failed.. so then I decided to contact Micheal to solve this issue… I had registered on his site ( http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation ) and ask him to solve this problem… but it was amazing that he is not interested to solve bbpress issues.. and said his forums not just for bbpress.. ( that’s why he is not accessible to his server and he was unable to show the code )…

he said he will show the code will soon when he will get his server .. so after some weeks I contacted him again becoz its had been toooo late.. huh then he said even he was not able to access his server.. and you know what happed “he deleted me from his forums ” and kick me off by saying that I was against his forum’s term and condition .. and its a “continues ignorance” to ask questions…

please don’t go there.. its my humble request to all

otherwise you’ll be depressed like me

we will be happy if someone solve this issue except “Micheal “.

your well wisher

Hi I installed bbpress on /forum on my domain, then logged in ok using the admin username and password, next I tried to integrate it with wordpress by selecting the database option, at which point i was logged out and couldnt log back in with the previous user/password combo. I also checked the database and changed the password manually from there by generating an md5 hash, still no go, any help on how to get back in?

[chrishajer]

You need to get your database connection details from your host (hostgator.) You normally need:

Database name

Database user name

Database user password

Database host

bbPress defaults to localhost for “Database host” but that’s not always true (database is not always on the same machine as the website, which means localhost here is inaccurate.)

Find those in your hosting control panel, and we can go from there.
