Do you want to be able to approve topics/posts before they even appear on your site?

If so, this plugin is great but it only works with earlier versions of bbPress:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/

I don’t think there’s a “hold for approval” moderation plugin that works with 1.0? But if someone knows of one, please post a link! It’s come up a few times in the past few weeks…

@karma1981 – That’s a bug with the plugins page… there are two issues:

1) The download only works if you are registered, for some reason. So first, you have to sign into the plugins install.

2) The signin isn’t automatic because bbpress.org/forums and bbpress.org/plugins are using different versions of bbPress and don’t have cookies integrated.

So in short: sign into the plugins page, and the download should work!

hello, Is it possible to moderate posts in BBpress.I have BBpress installed but when i tried putting up a post as a memeber, the post comes up on the forum, it seems that there is no moderation of the posts by the moderator.can anyone suggest what i can do to moderate my post in my website.Thanks.

[nickaster]

Woah. This really works? By “integrate a fb-connect button on your bbpress site” what do you really mean? Just stick it in the template someplace? What if I’m already logged in from elsewhere? Will it keep my login?

[karma1981]

johnhiler, the password plugin you suggested is not available on the bbpress website.

[karma1981]

hello everybody thanks for the solution.Johnhiler, thanks for the plugin solution but like rlebowitz10463 says, the plugin does not solve the issue.Can anyone please suggest any other solution.I tried registering for rlebowitz10463’s website polina-such.freehostia.com/bbpress, and the registration is not working, same like my problem. looks like chrishajer might have some solution since he is a moderator of the bbpress website.please help…anyone, thanks.

I crated a mobile plugin for BBPress but have not had the time to release it as a standalone plugin. You can see it at:

http://www.berryreview.com/forums/index.php?ak_action=accept_mobile

It is totally based on Alex Kings Mobile Plugin for WordPress so I am not sure if I am allowed to release it. Let me check.

When I do have a chance to release it you will have to edit the theme to fit your site. Let me know if there is any interest.

I dont know why, but I’m not able to access the Admin panel. My bbpress is integrated with wordpress and it worked after installation. I haven’t modified the bb-config file either. Yesterday, I was able to get to the admin panel by clicking on the IP address in a post. Now that doesn’t even work. What do I do?

[mbeneteau]

That’s cool, Gerikg, thanks for contributing.. I personally did not need to change any of the bb_auth_key etc, just copied the settings from wp-config.php to bb-config.php (forget about trying to input them in the bbpress install, it’s hopeless), plus the bbpress integration plugin for wordpress, and it worked right away…

Tom also provided the follwing, which worked for me after I couldn’t get any of the above to work.

[James Blacker]

Oh you top man Tom! Yep, worked first time, perfect.

Over on the other forum at: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-keep-just-display-name-which-links-to-profile-in-posts#post-58301

they tried this, which didn’t quite work;

<a href="http://www.example.com/forum/profile/<?php bb_get_profile_link(post_author()); ?>">

<?php bb_get_profile_link(post_author()); ?>

</a>

I’ll mark this thread as resolved then, and put a link to here on there. Nice one, thanks.

It’s hard to tell with your path removed there, but assuming bbPress was installed properly (it’s not a plugin for WordPress) it seems to me that something was not uploaded completely. This is the first time I’ve heard about this problem.

[James Blacker]

That’s great! That’s brilliant Tom, thanks very much. I was obviously missing a few commands there!

Thanks both of you, you just made a lot of integral practitioners very happy with their new found ability to register what they’re doing with their practice for mind, body, spirit and shadow on their new forum. Here’s the handiwork in action: http://wholelifewholeworld.com/forums/profile/james-blacker

Presumably if I changed (or removed) the spelling of the codes in the names (not that I will), it would break and any info people had put in previously would be lost.

And I’ve increased the number parameter at the end of your add_action(‘extra_profile_info’, ‘add_descriptions’,15); – even I could work out that was important.

Tom, if you’re on a roll, do you have an insight for the one I posted on why linking poster names to their Profile doesn’t support usernames with spaces? Presumably you’ve linked Posts to people’s Profiles on your forum having done the extra work to modify your own profile pages?: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/are-usernames-with-spaces-sensible

Thanks again, both, greatly appreciated.

Cheers, James.

We’ve got Super Search (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/super-search/) running on our forums, and it locks up the database when a few people are using it, and particularly if they’re doing an “all time” search.

On the http://bbpress.org/blog/2009/04/talkpress-and-bbpress/ page it states “The architecture behind WordPress.com demanded that we make bbPress play nice with the HyperDB extension for WordPress. This neat database load-balancing and redundancy tool is now fully compatible with bbPress. So if you want to run your bbPress site with redundant MySQL databases in multiple datacenters then that’s possible now too. bbPress now has a pretty enviable set of advanced options for MySQL connectivity.”

So we’re looking at running HyperDB to offload the search to another database. And I presume future version of BBp will support hyperdb. Has anyone got this up and running, was it easy to set up? Were there any problems I should know about?

It was in the Step 2 while I’m installing bbpress

Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Auth’ not found in /home/’my-path’/bb-settings.php on line 970

FYI. it’s in a sub directory of wordpress2.8.4

How could it happened?

[56alifar]

I have the same problem, any suggestions?

[paulhawke]

I lifted the following list from functions.bb-core.php where bbPress defines the set of fields that should make up the user profile:

'first_name' => array(0, __('First name')),

'last_name' => array(0, __('Last name')),

'display_name' => array(1, __('Display name as')),

'user_email' => array(1, __('Email'), 'email'),

'user_url' => array(0, __('Website'), 'url'),

'from' => array(0, __('Location')),

'occ' => array(0, __('Occupation'), 'role'),

'interest' => array(0, __('Interests'))

If you want any of these fields to appear in your custom profile, you will need to add them to the list of fields you were building. Basically, the filter in your plugin takes over defining the definitive list that will be used, not a list of additions above-and-beyond the defaults given by bbPress … least I think that is what the code is telling me!

Instant Password definitely works in 0.9. I have it installed on 12 separate 0.9 installs.

But until you can hire someone to upgrade Instant Password to work in 1.0, your best bet is probably making sure that your server is configured to be able to send email.

Chriahajer wrote a great post on it here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registration-email-not-being-sent-new-issue?replies=15#post-6931

If your server isn’t sending out email, you could also install this plugin… to give bbPress access to an SMTP mailer:

[rlebowitz10463]

Hi,

I know I am not owed anything on this forum, but I am frustrated. I have spent the last couple days installing both versions of bbpress and configuring it to fit my site…only to find that users cannot register?!

In both versions 1.0 and 0.9, emails do not get back to those who registered, thus denying them passwords.

I tried the “instant password” plugin…but it doesn’t work for version 1.0 or 0.9.

My problem is hardly idiosyncratic. It is very basic and universal: how do I get my users to register??

Thanks for listening. I do hope someone can lend a hand here.

What part of _ck_’s post did you not understand? That was the post I was going to point you to.

[displayname]

How do I display bbpress topics from a specific category in wordpress?

I read over _ck_’s method, but still have no idea: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration

[yutt]

I just want someone authorative to tell us what the hell is going on. I don’t care about these community outreach or involvement discussion. Just tell me if BBpress has a future in any form or not. All I want is a open source forum that integrates easily with WordPress.

I don’t care about the development direction BBpress is going to go. I just want to see movement.

Matt needs to just ignore the entrenched, political, and vocal community members; make his own decision what is going to happen; and let us know. We’ve wasted months of development time with IRC and forum discussion that go nowhere.

If BBpress is dead just let me know so I can move on.

[xananax]

Ok, thanks to your idea, I’ve got it working. I quickly slapped together a theme that names the forums “categories” and uses the “latest topics” as the main view. It’s a very awkward theme, the CSS is crap, there is repeated code here and there but it is just a proof of concept. I’ll work more on it later.
