Seemed to have solved this, so I’ll post the answers for anyone else who has this problem.

PHP 5.3+ now requires you to define an object explicitly ($object = new className();). The $bb variable in older versions of bbPress is an object which is implicitly defined in config.php. Thus, if you define it explictly as an object of type stdClass, the error goes away, like so:

$bb = new stdClass();

WARNING: I have not fully tested this, so use at your own risk.

However, I also noted that in bbPress 1.0.2, the whole $bb object seems to be deprecated, so it is likely that if you upgrade to the newest version, the errors will also go away. I can’t upgrade just yet, so I haven’t tried this either.

Cheers!

Does anyone else get this error in the forum when you have upgraded to PHP 5.3.0? I know this is due to many deprecated features in this version of PHP. Does a recent version of bbPress correct it?

Strict Standards: Creating default object from empty value in /<<pathname>>/forum/config.php on line 15

I installed builds of both WordPress MU and bbpress and had them both running independently. After setting the integration settings (in the bbpress admin and via the WP integration plugin settings) bbpress is no longer working.

The main forums page appears, but I am unable to login to access the admin. It will not accept either my “keymaster” account or my WordPress admin. Attempting to have my keymaster password sent throws the error that the user cannot be found.

I’m assuming I have an issue with my intergration, is there a way to verify where it’s breaking and fix it?

Thanks in advance.

First, I apologize if this is duplicate information, or the wrong forum to ask. I have searched and searched and can’t find an answer.

So we are building a site using WordPress Mu, BuddyPress, and BBPress. BBPress was integrated into BuddyPress, and it works just fine.

The problem is I installed the Moderation Hold, and Moderation Suite Plugins for BBPress and put them in the /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bb-forums/bbpress/bb-plugins. I can activate them in the BBPress admin just fine (using the bb-config.php in the bbpress folder you can access it.) But neither work. Is there a different folder these should go into? If I have a group forum, anyone can still post a topic or reply without it being held for moderation.

Is there a better way to do this? Is my config wrong?

Thank you for your time, again, I am sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

Very nice! mdawaffe posted the new bulk/edit in trunk!

Glad to hear ‘mass delete users’ is being eyed as well. Will make it easier to get rid of spam users.

Hope they improve the sorting of users as well (one should be able to sort by date registered to see latest ones, if they are spammers, etc)

Firstly, I don’t know of any converter out ther for it – so the chances of getting it done may be very slim.

Secondly, it seems that package has multiple forums in a single board package, which is completely different to bbPress.

Do you not like the current software you have?

[Gautam]

Also has many bug fixes.

[Gautam]

This is a short post on what all features have been implemented (till now) in the trunk version (bbPress 1.1):

1. Subscribe to Topics (Email Subscription)
2. Loginless Posting
3. Mass deleting/undeleting posts and topics from admin panel (I have also posted patch in trac – #1202 to mass delete users, so wait till it is implemented)

When new features are added, I will update this topic (or you may, if I get late).

[Thomaschaaf]

We’ve got a forum at http://vsphp.de/forum which doesn’t have alot of entries but does have quiet a few. I’d like to find out, whether there is a way to port the entries from an existing Woltlab Burning Board to bbPress. I’d be glad if you could help

[Michael]

No confirmed date yet – there are still IRC meetups every Wednesday. You may want to read the IRC logs on the blog:

I’d wager Matt has a calming affect when he writes more than 5 words

I am also in agreement that “it will turn out fine”, the problem with that is there is no time limit. It probably will turn out fine in the end, or eventually, but how do we, the community (sic) attempt to speed up that process?

My concern is that we’ve been through this all before Chris. Remember the “its all fine so I made a BBpress Fan Page on Facebook”? Remember the definitive instructions on how to get BBpress and WordPress to play nice together, that instead of being in the documentation was a 7 page thread with the answers on how to actually do it on page 4?

I’m not meaning to bring up the past and use it as a stick to beat the BBpress people with, I just feel we go over the same things time and time again, don’t you? And so far, we appear to be repeating the exact same mistakes.

I dunno, i’ll try and come up with something, because I’m confident that we wont have a BBpress version that integrates with wordpress out of the box this year.

[Trent Adams]

You can find all versions of bbPress at the following URL, but be advised that it is strongly recommended you use the most recent versions of the software for all security reasons.

I did a fresh install of WPMU and BBPress at http://collaboratingentrepreneur.com/ and I can navigate to the “forum” and can see

Newest Topics

Most Popular Topics

Unreplied Topics

My Topics

Then it says “Sorry, there were no forum topics found.” which is right as it is new, but I cam unable to find where, when and how to add a new topic to the forum. What might I be missing? Help appreciated.

[m291]

one more question:

what is the code to authorized only specified user groups?

thanks for help

[johnhiler]

The 0.9 version is available at the bottom of the download page!

[Alexandru Vornicescu]

It seems that latest version is not working for me because I want to integrate it with old version of WordPress.

Can I get a old version of BBPress? like in wordpress.org

[chrishajer]

This is because integration was not done properly. The cookies are not compatible between WordPress and bbPress.

Read and try this:

[Michael]

I have never used that particular plugin – so I can’t help you there.

I do recommend, however, what seems to be the most stable plugin for avatars:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/

If you’d like to see it use before making a decision, see this post on my forum:

http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation/topic/php-creating-a-voting-poll

Hope this helps.

[Gautam]

This has already been added in the development version: https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2390/trunk

[esprit]

I did need an anonymous posting in my installation of bbPress and after checking few threads I realized that would be probably worth to try do it by my own. So if anyone interested, I am releasing the alpha version of plugin + source patch (yeah its hack for testing.

You could get it on http://trac.espr.it/wiki/bbPress/AnonymousPosting – feel free to raise a ticket there if the plugin is not working or in case of any other problems but I am full time working so don’t promise any quick fixes and reaction.

Just what the plugin actually does. Any non-logged user has a opportunity to log in as anonymous user (with very restrictive permissions) through standard form. He has to pass security question which is possible define in plugin administration.

The code should be working again 1.0.2 version of bbpress.

Raize,

Is there a plugin for vBulletin that allows it to share a login with our wordpress site?

[benwduffy]

Hey,

I was trying to install bbPress, and it went smoothly through setting up the bbPress Integration plugin. After setting it up, I went to add the cookiepath to the wp-config.php file as it said. It didn’t say where to put it, so I opened it up in Notepad, added it to the end, saved it, and reuploaded it. As soon as I did that, I got:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/wp-blog-header.php on line 14

I tried removing it and reuploading the file, but it did no good. How do I get this fixed? Thanks!

Edited to add: the forums still work, but the blog gets the fatal error.

[m291]

ben l. you are my hero. its work. thank you very much…

[Ben L.]

Oh, typo. Here’s the correct one:

<?php require_once 'path/to/bb-load.php'; bb_auth( 'logged_in' ); ?>
