I use it on all my sites, and customer service requests have plummeted!
February 26, 2010 at 8:40 am #33273Topic: BBpress new user registration
in forum Installationkarma1981
Memberhello friends, can you help me out on this issue.I have successfully installed BBpress and it is running.I am trying to register a new user for the BBpress.So i tried registering a new user providing details like email and user name.The problem is that the notification from BBpress says that user registration was successful and email with a password has been sent to the email provided during registration.But when i check my email, i have not received any mails from BBpress.Therefore a user is created but with no pass word and i cannot login.Also i am using a localhost server on windows XP with internet connection. Please help.Thanks.

ParticipantI agree but it doesn’t happen to serve out that small glitch of dashboard access.
Will get back on the subject after this weekend vacation.

ParticipantWe all want bbPress to be developed further, but it’s honestly not where many people want it to be. Kevin is only speaking the honest truth. His tone might seem harsh, but he is passionate. I’m glad he’s here.
The OP may want to consider other solutions… Maybe in a year or two, bbpress will be better developed for him.

MemberEither way, don’t think it really matters.
Personally i’ve found that pointing my post form towards WP is better because if something is going to change/break in a future version it will happen in WordPress long before bbPress. People are patching/plugins/writing-guides on how ot make bbPress work with WordPress not the other way around, so i stick with the strongest/most stable software as my login base. But really, thats just me being careful; i shouldn’t matter

MemberI just want to use this oportunity to say thanks to you johnhiler.
I dont like that Kevin-guy so much, but Im a big enough man to see when he is right about weaknesses in my behaviour.
Even though we did not solve this problem, thank you for putting on the effort in trying to help me out.
I guess some times I just get too carried away with the creative process, so I tend to forget about the moral and ethical side of it.
I have great belief in BBpress, and I trust that it will have a bright future. So I´d rather wait and stick with BBpress, as I have it currently set up, and maybe some day a new poll plugin will surface. Good things comes to those who wait.
February 25, 2010 at 6:50 pm #85281Marius-
MemberOh I listen, I just dont agree with your views. That should be clear.
Whats not clear to me, is that you seem to ignore the fact that BBPress is a launched project for public use.
If its not useable, then it shouldnt be ready for download and use.
You call me angry and ignorant, which Im not. But thats exactly the way I see you. Only causing more trouble than resolutions. Im not gonna argue with you about all the details you are so unecesary listing up here.
Im quite fond of BBPress, perhaps respecting it way more than you do. I´ve written about it in several other forums, advertising how great it is. All you do is sit here and say its not ready for use.

ParticipantWhy would we want to redirect everything to WordPress, its bbPress’s dashboard which becomes unaccessible when we login from WordPress side?
If we would want to redirect everything to bbPress, then it could be avoided else the small glitch will continue.
Any thoughts?

# END bbPressAs you can see, I commented the

Thanks anyway!
February 25, 2010 at 5:52 pm #85451In reply to: Any simple chatbox plugins?
kevinjohngallagher
MemberI say it’s not likely to happen becuase we only have 2 or 3 plugin developers left, and your requirements are very specific. We’ve seen from all the other plugins that you’re unhappy with about how you want something that fits your needs exactly, and you never say please or thank you. I told you days ago where you could get one, and you didn’t like it even though it does everything you said you wanted.
I’m not your enemy mate, everytime you ask for help i step up. You’ve still not thanked me for the code i sent last week to solve your issues you could have googles (they weren’t bbPress issues).
I dont think a simple chatbox is something thats specific to me and my needs alone. I think its a perfectly logical thing to make in context with the philisophy of BBPress.
Cool, then go make it
February 25, 2010 at 5:45 pm #85450In reply to: Any simple chatbox plugins?
Marius-
MemberHow can you say thats not likely to happen? Do you speak for absolutely everyone who makes, or will make a plugin in the future?
A simple no is enough. If there is no such plugin, fine, too bad for me.

kevinjohngallagher
MemberYeah man, that’s far too specific a request for a bbPress plugin. You’re loking for something that fits your needs specifically. I’m really sorry, but that ain’t likely to happen. Why not send the users who want to chat about your chosen website subject to the WP-wall ?
February 25, 2010 at 5:12 pm #85442kevinjohngallagher
MemberOk, i’m coding on my iPhone – expect errors.
function kjg_custom_feed_rewrite($wp_rewrite)
{
$feed_rules = array
(
‘forum/(.+)/(.+)’ => ‘/bbpress_folder/index.php?variable1=’ . $wp_rewrite->preg_index(1) . ‘&variable2=’ . $wp_rewrite->preg_index(2),
);
$wp_rewrite->rules = $feed_rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
}
add_filter(‘generate_rewrite_rules’, ‘kjg_custom_feed_rewrite’);
function kjg_add_custom_page_variables( $public_query_vars )
{
$public_query_vars[] = ‘variable1’;
return $public_query_vars;
}
add_filter( ‘query_vars’, ‘kjg_add_custom_page_variables’ );
Basically, whenever you try and load “domain.com/forum” the .htaccess file would load wordpress. WordPress then hits it’s own htaccess rules (how it does permalinks etc), which it stores as an array you can manipulate and it then loads the page you tell it with the $_GET variables you can also maipulate. The thing is, WordPress does this AFTER it’s loaded it’s variables and plugins, but obviously before it’s done any form of outputting to the screen… so in theory you could just tell it to load the bbpress index instead, and as it’s already got wp-load.php processed, all of the user-ids/logins/permissions etc should be already generated – not to mention, you could call WP functions etc.
Basically, it’s deep integration but form the WordPress side rather than the bbpress side. There might be some BackPress function un-compatability (i can think of a few right now that would be iffy) – but it basically looking at the problem from a different viewpoint.
Instead of trying to bridge WordPress and bbpress, why not have WordPress load bbPress as a “plugin”, and then we could take advantage of plugins like WP-Role-manager and facebook connect etc.
Ok, my code may be very very wrong, give me a day to hack out something

MemberIs there any plugins that allows simple chatting for registered users?
I dont want this: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ajaxed-chat/screenshots/
I just want a chatbox, where people can write messages and chat. Nothing else. No menus, multiple links and whatnot.
February 25, 2010 at 1:49 pm #85440kevinjohngallagher
MemberOk i think i see the problem, but off the top of my head don’t know how to fix it (am writing from my phone).
Basically what you want to do is add “/forum/” to the expetion rules you’ve already listed (-f and -d) and have it redirect/pull the pages from /zsblog/forum/.
basically this line: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d checks if a directory exists, if it does then it ignores the htaccess, if not, then it triggers the condition (in this case loading wordpress).
Because /forum/ does not physically exist, it fires wordpress which will try to parse the URL into a blog post.
Oh wow, i just had an amazing amazing brainwave.
Why not write a function that filters URLS so include your bbPress one instead of your wordpress ones if “/forum/” is used. Given that it would load after all the WP processing this would solve COUNTLESS bbPress problems. You know, i might have solved wordPress and bbPress integreation.

MemberHey!
I finally setup bbpress inside http://example.com/forum/
Of course I would like to use permalinks, because they are already working with my WordPress-Blog http://example.com
I am not a specialist in setting up .htaccess, so I would like to request your help.
The “main” .htacess reads as follows:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Redirect permanent /zsblog http://example.com
Redirect permanent /zsblog/feed/ http://example.com/feed/As you can see my blog runs inside /zsblog which is located in / on my server.
bbpress runs inside /zsblog/forum
Here the .htaccess of “bbpress”:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forum
RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([^/]+)/?$ /topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/([^/]+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/?$ /tags.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/?$ /view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/?$ /rss.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([^/]+)/?$ /rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>Unfortunately, when clicking on a new created forum or on a topic I get redirects to random(?) articles inside my WordPress-Blog.
Any ideas how I can fix that?
BTW.:
Option +MultiViewsdidn’t work for me. Need to set it up separately.Thanks in advance!
All the best,

February 25, 2010 at 12:19 am #33277Topic: Solution for facebook connect
in forum InstallationDailytalker
MemberI found a way to use facebook-connect for bbpress.
1st
install the “bbpress Integration” plugin for wordpress
2nd
integrate bbpress to wordpress
3rd
install “Facebook Connect” Plugin of Adam Hupp (the current version is 1.0) and follow the instructions
4th
Integrade a fb-connect button on your bbpress site (in wordpress its done automatically)
Thats it. I only found some minor problems with umlauts like “ä ö ü” but this shouldn’t be a problem for native English speakers…its only a problem for all others (including me) .

Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)
Participantmost of the plugins were for bbPress 9.0
bbPress 1.0+ is completely different so only a few of them works.
However many of them were modified to work with 1.0+ versions too but still many remains.

Member@dbneeley Buddypress 1.2 is supports WordPress 2.9.1 (or whatever the current version is) so no hassle of installing MU, if you want the multi user functionality you can install the wordpress alpha which is compatible with Buddypress 1.2. @R-a-y did a good job explaining the differences in forums in BB vs BP. If I was you, I would use bp.

ParticipantYou could have fix those in the database with ease.
Like for bbPress – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-lost-admin-access-bbpress/
Same goes for WordPress but one need to look at the particular string for it. I hope you got the point.

Memberthanks for your help
unfortunately, i followed a few guides to try to reinstate a keymaster account by fiddling around in the database (ie – things I don’t understand) and I have now lost admin rights from my WordPress installation (that i spent all morning configuring)
so now it’s not a wasted afternoon – it’s a wasted DAY!
i will reinstall wordpress, setup the theme etc, customise it, try to get it back to where i was an hour or so ago, then rethink the whole forum conundrum
i am tired and sad
i will now drink wine and watch the football
thanks again

MemberHi,
I have been struggling for days to fix a customization problem in my bbpress forum: I want to extend the header to the end of the page but when I do that, it knocks out the sidebar to the bottom of the page.
It seems like a simple customization but I can’t do it!
My page is polina-such.freehostia.com/bbpress. You will see that the header does not go all the way across.
If you can help, please contact me at rlebowitz AT yahoo.com. I think it should be short customization.
Thank you!!!

MemberJimJiber,
I, we, all feel your pain – but you’re confusing two issues here; because you’re viewing bbPress as a WP plugin. It’s not, it’s a standalone forum, and there is a “bridge” that connects the logins/users to wordpress.
1) bbpress is very very simple to set up and use if you have basic technical knowledge (ability to edit a file and FTP).
2) bbPress is not simple to integrate into WordPress.
It is random, annoying, and requires you to know so much it’s unreal, and most of the information you’re meant to know is buried inside forum threads you’ll struggle to find. If you want to stick with it, shoot us over the steps you took, linking which of the guides on here you followed would be great if possible, and we’ll try and sort you out.
The forum appears to be a completely seperate entity to my WP site
It is, and will be.
Seems like no-one can make a decent forum for wordpress.
You’re kinda right. This is actually really good, but WordPress has a tendancy to change it’s securty protocols quite randomly and often. 2.1, 2.5 and 2.7 all had major changes and whenever that comes we’re all playing catch up. Sadly automattic took the decison to integrate bbPress into BackPress and then decided not to integrate WordPress into BackPress, so we’re left in the state of limbo you now see.
this has been a total waste of an afternoonand I needed to vent.
Thats ok, i cant think of one person that has come to bbpress and gotten integration working on their first day, let alone afternoon. Matt (head of automattic) annouced that Integration was the highest priority to get working back in December, but then decided we should work on anonymous posting instead, so we’re all a tad confused.
Before deciding on forum software or swapping to joomla, i’d spent the time doing a bit of research on them all. There are positives and negatives for many of these – but on the plus side you now know the 2nd biggest flaw of bbPress

Hardly intuitive is it?
No, but then it’s not trying to be

My suggestion is to get your forums working first, without trying integration. Then once you know it’s all working you can follow one of the countless integration guides here, and shout us when things go wrong. Sadly, it’s the best that can happen.

MemberI just managed to login by changing my WP admin login password. This gets me into bbPress but it doesn’t give me access to the control panel.
When I integrated bbPress with WP I set it so an “administrator” in WP was equal to an “administrator” in bbPress. Guess I should have made it equal to “KeyMaster” or whatever. So now I guess I am locked out!
Hardly intuitive is it?
