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

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:

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.

You can get it here:

Im the same as you. Have a look at what I did with my BBPress: http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum

I have only one category, and 35 posts on top, and users never go into that bottom category selection at all. If they do, it would appear exactly the same.

So my forum now works only as one big category. And it has been very successfull thanks to that. I have disabled tags though.

If you really want to go further than me, you can make the category selection invisible.

[xananax]

Hello. I am lost; I’ve been scouring the internets for a few days to no avail.

I thought what I was looking for should be quite easy, but I can’t find it.

What I need is a forum-less forum, where all topics would be displayed according to date (kind of like the view inside a forum, or the “latest topics” in bbpress), with tags and/or categories for easy search.

All the forums I find are multiple-forums by default. I can’t find one that allows me, if I set a single forum, to display the topics only.

What would be even more ideal is a forum that doesn’t make a difference between a topic, a post, and a forum. Anything could be replied to, and nested, to infinity. But I guess this really doesn’t exist.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

[rlebowitz10463]

John,

Thank very much for the link and for replying.

To answer your question, no, installing 0.9 did not mess up my 1.0 install; my 1.0 still works.

Any advice you have on installing 0.9 properly would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again,

Robert

Hi,

I’ve just been following this instruction – http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-custom-profile-fields (and as per http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-new-fields-to-user-profile#post-14767) – to create a plugin of my own to add a couple of extra fields for my post/edit post, as per ardentfrost’s instructions.

I’m not overly familiar with php so wonder if anyone can see what is wrong with my code. The plugin I created for myself, which I’ve uploaded to /forums/my-plugins/jbs_own_plugin.php is as follows:-

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: jbs_own_plugin

(etc….)

*/

add_filter( ‘get_profile_info_keys’, array(‘user_email’ => array(1, __(‘Email’)), ‘user_url’ => array(0, __(‘Website’)), ‘from’ => array(0, __(‘Location’)), ‘occ’ => array(0, __(‘Occupation’)), ‘interest’ => array(0, __(‘Interests’)), ‘extra’ => array(0, __(‘Extra’)))

?>

And when I try to activate it in bbPress plugins I get;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /var/www/vhosts/wholelifewholeworld.com/httpdocs/forums/my-plugins/jbs_own_plugin.php on line 13

I’ve tried it with one less ), and with ; after, and a couple of other combos, but can anyone see what I’m doing wrong please? Just want to add a few extra fields that people can fill in from Edit profile and have displayed on the Profile page.

Also, I found out I don’t actually HAVE a functions.php page in bb-includes at all, so that is slightly worrying me (though everything else is working okay).

Thanks,

James

Each install should have its own prefix… this may help!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/multiple-forums-in-a-single-database-change-prefix-to-what

Before advising on how to install 0.9 correctly… first, did installing 0.9 mess up your 1.0 bbpress install?

[rlebowitz10463]

John,

Thank you.

I am using the same database table for both and am using the same prefixes for each table.

Judging by your questions, I assume this is a problem!

Can you tell me how to correct this, i.e., when and how to change the prefixes or use a different database table? I am very inexperienced with databases.

Thank you!

Robert

Do either of you have instructions somewhere on how to set up a seperate Forums set for Buddypress. I really need to have a full forum set-up within my Buddypress install for all of those topics that don’t really need a Whole Group to be set up. I’d still like all of the group forums to be accessable via the groups interface but also in the forums interface.

It sounds from these posts that you two have figured it out somewhat.

[johnhiler]

Are you using the same database table for both? Is each table using different prefixes?

[rlebowitz10463]

Hi,

I have bbpress 1.0.2 installed on my site. I recently tried to install bbpress 0.9 on my site as well.

(I did this because my registration emails were not working on bbpress 1.0.2 and I wanted to install a plug-in that allowed immediate password assignment upon registration, thus by-passing the need for emails. This plug-in only works with 0.9, so that’s why I installed it.)

However, after initially configuring 0.9, I receive an error message : “Could not determine site URI” (http://polina-such.freehostia.com/bbpress0.9/)

I contacted my host, and they said that the bb-config-sample.php files are different, which causes the problem with the installation. They pointed me back here, to the forums, for help.

So my questions are:

1) Is it possible to install two versions of bbpress in one site?

2) If so, how do I configure the second bb-config-sample.php file?

Thank you for any assistance!

Robert
