ok I guess I’m at that stage now!

When I got to the forums link I’m not seeing any forums. I guess I’m missing something rather easily?

I don’t see a place to create forums. I see the following, Forum Setup, When I go to that page it says it’s successfully installed or I can re install. I guess I need to do some more reading or did I mess up some where.

I think I read something about adding forums to a group (s) Any specific documentation on that group and forums part?

[Lucian Florian]

So, nobody does not know how to do this?

Any direction would be helpful.

Feature request: I would love to see an “attachments browser” in the admin panel.

Here are the instructions on installing plugins!

Hi

Well, for a start, if you have a WordPress.com username, you must enable Akismet – it’s the best spam protection you’ll get. I also recommend ‘Human Test for bbPress’ – also good for security.

Here’s a list of the plugins I recommend: (I may miss some because I don’t use all of them, obviously) Items marked with a star are quite important, in your case.

1. Allow Images *

2. Avatar Upload *

3. bbPM (for Personal Messages)

4. bbPress Moderation Suite (not always used in some forums, but very handy to have)

5. bbPress Smilies *

6. bb Topic Icons

7. bb Topic Icons/Support Forum Connector (comes with the above plugin)

8. Burning Tags

9. The MyViews Suite

10. bbPages

11. Project Honey Pot (Spam protection, prevents spam users from registering)

12. Signatures

There are plenty more, but those are my most common ones.

Hope that helps a little.

[Sabuntu]

Can you share us how did you do that !?

[Sabuntu]

By the way I still don’t know what went wrong at the first time, but fortunately with simple work around the problem was solved

[Sabuntu]

I Think my thread will be the most funniest thread in this wonderful website

I’ve solved my problem myself

Just to make easy for new bie like me,

if you installed bbpress with integration setup for your blog and find some problems and you would like to uninstall and reinstall again follow the following steps

1- delete bb-config file

2- login to your cpanel

3- go to phpMyAdmin

4- browse your database

5- drop all bb_ tables

6- browse wp_usermeta table

7- and look for bb_capabilities and drop it down

8- now you are clean and you can go through installation process again

I’ve done perfectly and my problem was solved

you can visit my new forum now

sometimes you can solve your problem with simple knowledge

wish you all the best guys

Hello,

I have a web application built using Apache’s Tapestry framework. I already have it working with our current list of usernames and passwords. However I can’t seem to think of a way to make it so that once a user logs into the website, the user does not have to log in again for the forum and vice-versa. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? Tapestry uses Java so I’m not sure I can do it that way.

EDIT: Is it possible to do this by passing the username and hashed password in a link to the bbpress page?

[Sabuntu]

I tried tweaking this problem by the reinstalling the bbpress

I deleted the forum file completely and I dropped all the tables that are related to bb_

and reinstalled the forum again as subdomain again

BUT I’ve had another problem now “installation failed”

the key master could be established although I’ve deleted all the tables

as I mentioned in the previous post I’ve integrated my blog to the forum and this might be the problem for not creating the key master for the second problem

any Ideas !!?

[m291]

i have try it, but i get an error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /test/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-auth.php on line 145

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /test/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-auth.php:145) in /test/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 232

any ideas?

[Sabuntu]

Dear support

I installed bbpress 1.0.2 to wordpress 2.9.1 as sub-domain and the installation process went smooth & I integrated my forum to the blog successfully but by the end of the installation process I noticed a message that said “installation process completed with minor error”

when I tried to access my forum after the installation I faced this message

bbPress is already installed.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

I changed the key master name to root and I don’t know if this was the problem !!!?

I received an email

Your new bbPress site has been successfully set up at:

http://forum.sabuntu.com/

You can log in to the key master account with the following information:

Username: Root

Password:

We hope you enjoy your new forums. Thanks!

–The bbPress Team

http://bbpress.org/

But I didn’t receive any password to login

how to fix this problem any Ideas ??

[Ben L.]

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

[m291]

i think, i need only a little code like ” if user_session has id then show page”.

does anybody can help me please? i have used the search, but i found only integrations with other login-systems or wp systems. but not for my problem

[NiksE]

Hello everyone!

I am creating a fishing forum! Of course on the bbpress !

I would like to ask what plugins do you recommend to use (which should be mandatory…I mean for security and antispam) and which do you recomend to use (to make the forum interesting)…? I would like to allow users to upload pictures and files to articles and pictures to their profiles! And how to properly activate the plugins!

Thank you!

Niks

[chrishajer]

I think it’s possible. You’d have to include bbPress in your other pages and then use bbPress functions to see if the user is logged in and has permission to view the page. I think it’s outside the scope of the help you will find at this forum, but it’s certainly possible.

[bingsterloot]

Christ sake dude(s). How about you all freaking relax about when it comes out etc. Look at the IRC logs to see what is going on, and when it is ready or beta we will all know.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hello folks,

I appreciate you all taking the time to comment.

@chrishajer

Thanks very much for posting the links to where the IRC logs are kept. That is very useful information indeed. Its the sort of thing that should be on this website somewhere Respectfully, far too much information about BBpress is hidden in replies on threads, that once off the front page are relegated to history.

You’re also right about the 3 most common phrases/tags/topics on this site being independent (i.e. not “a wordpress integration plug-in” but rather plug-in being separate). But with BBpress not delivering on the wordpress integration part, and having changed so much under the hood in 1.0 that the plug-ins don’t work; surely we’re failing on the very key topics the community are worried about.

I wouldn’t waste any time developing plug ins for a platform that I know is going to change in the near future, possibly breaking my plug-ins again

-chrishajer

Which is where we find ourselves now. BBpress1.1 isn’t going to change any of this. its a “holding pattern” release. Matt’s already stated that BBpress is going to be a WP plug-in ( so integration’s not going to be looked at for 1.1) and that none of the big issues stopping plug-ins from working are going to be looked at in depth. So other than “rallying the troops” so to speak, what is BBpress1.1 going to give us? ANd what are we rallying the troops for – as you yourslf said, you/me/others aren’t going to build plugins for the moving target?

I suppose it reminds me a little bit of this:

http://www.dilbert.com/fast/2003-10-12/

You have a product that’s meant to do one thing, you rally support for the next version, present it to the masses and right before you do you tell them how awesome later versions that will make their code redundant will be. “Hey there developer, come make plug-ins and code for BBpress, yes sir code that will be pretty much gazumped when we integrate it to WP as they already have code that does this stuf… what do you mean you’ll wait for the working release? “

@Ryan Heller

I’d rather be developing plug-ins for BBpress, but as pointed out above, there’s not much point developing plug-ins for a moving target.

– Ryan Heller

Is BBpress1.1 going to change that?

@ipstenu

This made me smile a lot mate, thanks.

I’m an independent contractor and have worked as a PM/BA for the smallest to the largest companies; and you’re not wrong

That said, Project Management exists for a reason. Its a different skillset from development. And no matter the size of the company or organisation, holding a requirement gathering session and then ignoring the data is just daft.

@chrishajer

You’re spot on that we’re in no position to judge anyone. Matt, and automattic, have done some truly incredible software – I’d hate for my posts to be seen as criticising or judging for the sake of it. But I also feel that its ok for us to point things out from a different perspective. We all know what its like to be tied into software, even cool software like this.

We want to help, we want to make it better, we want to do that in a positive way; but I don’t know about you and don’t want to speak for anyone else – but the last 9months/year as a BBpress user/enthusiast has been really… difficult.

In that respect “We’ve done this before” isn’t a comforting statement.

This is free software, I’m trying to give back in the only way I can My plug-ins no longer work, the group of folks I used to make plug-ins and themes with have all abandoned the project. One of my sites is sitting with about 1000 comments a day/post and a forum that’s taking 200 posts a day (way more on match days – especially if my team lose). I’m tied in, and many others are too.

I’m not wanting to have strong words at Matt the person or Matt the head of automattic, heck the dude’s lovely and I can’t thank him enough. But “we’ve done this before”, while a throw away line and not a mission statement, isn’t that helpful right now. I appreciate Matt posting on the thread greatly, especially as he’d only posted 4 times in 2 years previous to Sam’s leaving (and probably for a good reason, that’s not a dig) – so I’m not going to hang the phrase around his neck forever. Its just that, from a PM point of view, which I know everyone hates, “We’ve done this before. Relax.” is a statement that strikes fear into my heart. Seriously, Kryptonite fear!

P.S. The captain of the Titanic had actually been on a ship before too

P.P.S Can’t believe I check in here on a Sunday! Have a great weekend all, and once again, thank you for reading

[hpguru]

To developers: if i have bbPress itself hosted in myforum.mydomain.net, i am able to move this to bbPress plugin later, when plugin is stable?

[Casemon]

I list the plugins that the forum uses above… have several other plugins in the WP install, but none that should touch login cookies.

I’m at a loss… sure wish BBPress was integrated with WP more; seems like it’s trying to exist in two worlds at once.

[m291]

Hi,

its possible to protect other own .php sites with the BBPress Login?

Like this:

Here is the forum

./page/bbpress

To protected pages:

./page2/index.php

./page3/index.php

sry for bad english

[jaqdesign]

Is there any more information on this?

I have had a similar problem – when I installed BBPress on my WP site, I suddenly lost the ability to edit or delete existing posts, and EVERY page and post in my site (all Public pages) result in a 404 error except when you’re logged in as a member. As I installed BB with the intent of an integration, all the BB tables went straight into the existing WP database, I am assuming my problem lies in a new column within the wp_posts table called “forum_id”.

I was also hesitant about editing the DB, though, as I didn’t know a whole lot about it. Would also assume that the tables with prefix wp_forums are the ones generated by BB…is this right? Can someone give me some idea of how to fix this, as it is a really serious problem and has basically disabled the whole site (even the home page can not be viewed by non-members).

[subject101]

BBPress appears as WP plugin on the repository right now;

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

What’s the schedule? will current themes be compatible with the plugin?

With BBPress as plugin WP is becoming the best CMS out there!

Developers, please don’t forget;

* fix slugs, “topic” and “forum” thing

* move all functions.bb-template.php template stuff to the template folder

[jaqdesign]

I apologise in advance if I come across as a newb – in a lot of ways, I am!!

This morning I tried to install (and integrate) BBpress at http://www.serenespirit.com.au, which is running WordPress 2.9. The WordPress side of things was working perfectly until this, so I am lead to believe that BBPress is the most obvious culprit of my problems now, but I have also posted an urgent HELP to the good people on the WordPress forum.

Anyway, long story fairly short, I went through the BBPress install / integration following the instructions at http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-coockie-does-not-work#post-61969. I got to the end of it, tried it out, and it didn’t work. I figured I have missed something, so instead of going back over it step by step I deleted BBPress from the server, updated the cookies on WP using the wp.config file, and reset the cache in my browser.

Here’s where the panic sets in – suddenly, I couldn’t view any of the PUBLIC pages and posts in wordpress (including the home page!) unless I was logged in, either as Admin or another user. EVERY page and post results in a 404. To add insult to injury, I now can not delete or change the status of ANY post or page (I.e from public – private), although I can edit the content.

I have been through the WP forums with a fine comb, tried deleting the WP .htaccess file, resetting permalinks to Default, deactivated all my plugins and reset the AUTH keys in wpconfig a half dozen times, nothing is working.

The only thing I can think of is that something very screwy is going on with the DB, but not knowing enough about it I am really hesitant to start playing with it any more. I understand this really needs to be fixed within WP, but I thought since this only started after my attempt to install BB SOMEONE here might have an idea of even something else I could TRY. I am at a loss, and this is a client’s live website!!

PLEASE HELP!!
