Avatars can be enabled in bbPress 1.0.2. Just look in the admin settings.

If you want people to be able to upload their own avatars to your server, you need a plugin:

This is really old and might not work with 1.0.2:

Can you get the phpinfo for your installation and see if there IS a tmp folder?

Put this into a file called whatever.php, then access it with your browser at http://www.example.com/bbpress/whatever.php

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

I think you’re looking for a value called upload_tmp_dir

If it’s not there someone will need to look at the plugin and see what’s actually needed.

Please post a link to the plugin you’re using too.

kevinjohngallagher – Thank you very much for your help. I understand you caution completely, however given the nature of my community I am sure that this will be appreciated.

Can you confirm that the following will only select users who are bbpress members and above, and not all users in my WordPress users table.

$bbdb->users WHERE user_status=0"

[chrishajer]

The problem with the “relevant posts” was reported already:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1222

There are some additional notes on that ticket.

I’m not sure where you see the extra slashes. Can you post a screenshot with them identified? I haven’t heard of that one yet.

Hi there,

After a couple of hours googeling my question stays not resolved, here is my question:

Is there a way to integrate a wordpress plugin into my BBPress forum? My forum uses the same DB as my WordPress.

Thanks in advance.

[kevinjohngallagher]

I’m afraid, to the best of my knowledge, that can’t be done with BBpress as this time.

[kevinjohngallagher]

The 2 simple solutions would be for the BBpress members to have an RSS feed reader, or you could e-mail them.

What you’re looking for is a plugin that emails every member of a BBpress forum every time a new topic is started. I doubt anyone’s build anything like that because it would just end up adding to spam (even if it wouldn’t in your particular case).

I need to implement the Auto Login to BBPress. I have the steps of Auto Login to WordPress and here are the steps:

require_once (‘blog/wp-blog-header.php’);

$user_login = ‘screen_name’;

$user = get_userdatabylogin($user_login);

$user_id = $user->ID;

wp_set_current_user($user_id, $user_login);

wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id);

do_action(‘wp_login’, $user_login);

Could you please help me to change this code for BBPress Login?

Thank You.

Hi

Please help me to enable avatar in forum, i use bbpress 1.0.2 without wordpress

i want users can upload or enter your avatar address in profile

thanks

I am running a small forum for a small private team.

As it is for a small team, posts are made infrequently.

In order to let people know when there is a new topic raised I would like to email ALL the forum users a notification of the new topic.

It should be noted that I am integrating bbPress with WordPress. Not all my WordPress user have access to my forum. The solution needs to ONLY notify those users who have bbPress member or higher access.

Is there an existing solution for this, or could anyone advise me on how to create one?

[kevinjohngallagher]

Step 1: open google.com

Step 2: type in ‘bbpress process translation file “.pot” ‘

Step 3: click on the first link.

Step 4: do what it says

Step 5: ???

Step 6: Profit

And Jongeren Forum, with all due respect, we answer your questions, and you don’t seem happy. We’re not going to do it all for you, this isn’t our job

Maybe next time follow the advice given and also say THANK YOU to people like Olaf that reply, whether you think it’s “not usefull for me” or not. Manners cost nothing

[eduardosilva]

When the “bbPress plugin for wordpress” arrives, I will have the choice to keep using bbpress as standalone product or I will be forced to migrate to wordpress + bbpress??

[arpowers]

There are extra slashes and the relevant posts are screwed up. ( no link)

@Kadr, neem even contact met me op via de contactpagina van mijn website.

@chandersbs, because we understand each other better…

[Michael]

@Shagalaga – That has already been mentioned in this post.

@Sam – Nice to see you’re still checking bbPress updates.

[Michael]

The way I see it: The new version of bbPress will have cleaner plugins – I’m sure most of them will (over time) be re-written to suit the needs of the new package.

In my opinion, there are some essential plugins that have to work in the new version. I’m sure there are plenty of plugins that will work for bbPress 1.1, but maybe not 1.2, 1.5, and 2 as the infrastructure my change.

But then again, who am I to say that – it’s just an assumption.

[chandersbs]

Why do you guys keep writing Dutch, if you both speek English?

[kadr]

Hey, Ik begrijp dat je bbPress zelf een ander uiterlijk kan geven, maar bij jou lijkt het forum echt onderdeel van de site te zijn, ipv een aparte site.

Dus nog afgezien van het uiterlijk, hoe zorg je dat bbPress onderdeel van de hoofdsite wordt?

(translate: It is not so much the look, as the functionality: how do I make bbpress appear as part of my wordpress site i.o. a different site)

[r-a-y]

bbPress, the WP plugin, is coming… not soon, but it’s coming.

[56alifar]

Bedankt, ik heb hiervoor het “blank 2 column Right Sidebar 1.0” theme gebruikt en deze omgebouwd naar de look and feel van mijn eigen website. Heeft me heel wat tijd gekost. Als je ruime kennis hebt van html en css moet dit mogelijk zijn voor je met deze theme.

(Transelate: Thanks, i used the “blank 2 column Right Sidebar 1.0” and build this to the look and feel of my website. It cost me lots of time. If you got the knwoledge of html and css i suggest to use this theme.

[kadr]

Mag ik vragen hoe je dat ongeveer gedaan hebt? Ziet er namleijk slick uit!

(translates as: May I ask how you did that? Look pretty slick!)

[kevinjohngallagher]

Two ways:

1) It’s an array, so just cycle through it and output the bits you want, this will allow you to style it as you please. If you’re unsure of what it returns use: print_r($topics);

2) Alternatively, you could just copy all 3 lines from the Favourites.php file:

$topics = get_user_favorites( $user->ID, true );

$favorites_total = isset($user->favorites) ? count(explode(‘,’, $user->favorites)) : 0;

bb_load_template( ‘favorites.php’, array(‘favorites_total’) );

This will output the favourites in the way you’ve described in your template folder.

==========================================

At the end of the day, BBpress has a number of issues, but if it can already do something, all you really need to do is copy and paste the code

[scribu]

Done: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1254

[kevinjohngallagher]

Looking in “favourites.php”, right in the root of BBpress (so its not hidden), i found this:

$topics = get_user_favorites( $user->ID, true );

I’d use that and output the array, but then again, i’d not have bumped 2 different 2 year old threads, let alone doing it before looking in the file cunningly named Favourites.php
