Hey Everyone,

What is the easiest way (as of the latest BBPress release) to get the avatars for ‘topic’ authors?

I have avatars showing correctly for ‘posts’ with <?php post_author_avatar_link(); ?>

but it doesn’t seem to work correctly for the first post in topics and on the front page.

I’ve seen some other posts on this, but so far no elegant solutions. Any help?

Thanks!

[anaon]

Oh Kawauso, thank you so much!! This code works perfectly!!

But do you mean that normally, I should have just one profile page for WordPress and BBpress?

[gravitydk]

Easy answer. Number one requirement is, that it also has a wordpress theme.

Does anyone have any suggestions for showing the bbpress avatar next to comments in wordpress. I know a couple suggestions were given here, but, I don’t want to try the first suggestion, because they say to delete a file in my plugins, and I have a feeling that will cause more trouble than it’s worth. I saw another suggestion, tried it, but the avatar didn’t show. This probably won’t happen, but, it would be nice if there was a sister plugin to this one for wordpress… and you installed it and magically the bbpress avatars showed up. Wouldn’t that be nice. Unfortunately I don’t know php very well.

Here’s hoping someone can come up with a solution!

Is it possible to change the language after installation of bbPress? If yes, can you please tell me how to do it? I already uploaded the .mo & .po files in a new folder called “my-languages”.

Thank you very much for your help.

<?php if ( $wp_profile_user = bb_get_user( get_post_author_id( $post_id ) ) ) : $wp_profile_link = esc_attr( "/members/{$wp_profile_user->user_nicename}/" )?><a href="<?php echo $wp_profile_link?>">View profile</a><?php endif?>

Your profile pages from bbPress and WordPress should be in sync anyway if you’ve integrated properly…

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Read through register.php in bbPress’ base directory and function bb_new_user under functions.bb-pluggable.php in bb-includes to get an understanding of how normal registration works.

Normally the user is given an auto-generated password, but the function used in the registration function will hash anything anyway.

Ah…. add a sidebar capability

[chandersbs]

One of the things I try to do on my own bbPress-based forum, is trying to make it more and more user friendly. By saying user friendly, I want my users to click less, as that is really annoying. And give as much as information possible on the page they are.

Think of:

• Adding a search bar on every page

• Navigation should be visible from all pages

A few options that you’d need plugins for:

• Upload plugin, so users can upload images

• Signature, users love that too

• And PM system

Worth considering:

• AJAX replies (just like we have in vBulletin)

So if you’re gonna incorporate those things into your theme, think about the design.

I want to use Wishlist member to protect a page called Forum – with the slug shiftselling.com/forum.

That means I need to move the files for the forum to a different directory – currently shiftselling.com/forum.

Should I move it or rename it?

Should it be moved to a directory or a sub domain?

I am also trying find what code I could put into a the page called forum that would display the forum inside my page.

Regards,

Craig

Hello everyone,

I’ve just installed bbpress 1.0.2 and bbpress integration plug-in over my 2.8.4 wordpress blog… and I am in hell.

The blog still works, from the viewer point of view (www.teknologik.fr), but the backend is a mess.

First of all, I couldn’t log in at all in the wordpress admin panel. My login and password took me to a white page saying that I didn’t have the rights. Hopefully, I had a second login with administrator right so I was able to change my “own” rights, under the second administrator login. But that was just the beginning…

Articles and Pages counter, in the main admin windows now shows “0”, although there are over 700 articles, when I do click on “Articles”.

When I try to add a new article, the ID at the end of the permalink is “1”… when the previous permalinks (when I still worked) showed four digits, like “5414”.

I’ve deleted both “bbpress” folder and “bbpress integration” pug-in but it didn’t change anything.

On top of all, I was working on a fresh re-install of the blog and the database backup wasn’t set yet, so my last backup is 3 weeks old, with tenths of new articles in between that would be lost if I had to re-install that backup.

What can I do without returning to the last backup ? Any idea ?

A million thanks, in advance…

Benjamin

[anaon]

Any other idea maybe?

Actually, it would be really great if I could use WordPress profile page instead of BBpress profile page, you know? Because on my WordPress, members (users=authors) can change their profile and fill up some custom fields I added and I think it’s better if they don’t have to fill up two profile pages…

Thanks

looking for more suggestions? I do get a few hits from this page but the responses are very minute as compared to that. Please take out some time to comment or suggest here on a new bbPress theme – Pour in your suggestions for an ultimate bbPress theme

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Try matching the code with the default theme and if you need to show more additional info then you can take a look at this too https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/unhide-profile-email-adresses

I was researching this for ya, and noticed that your host had fixed it for you:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/page/9/#post-4698

Glad it worked out! Let us know if your host ever lets you know what they changed/fixed, if you could… thanks!

[Jim R]

My host took care of that issue, but now I’m getting this from the plug-in:

Not allowed: [bbPress part] Invalid anonymous user id

[Jim R]

I’m not getting a lot of help where the plug-in is actually posted. As best I can tell my settings are correct. I’m getting this response though:

URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant): http://hoosierhoopsreport.com/bbpress/my-plugins/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/bbwp-sync.php

When you click on that link, it brings up a 404 page, but having checked my server files, it’s there. The plugin has been uploaded in the my-plugins folder of my bbPress folder.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Why not just use bbPress native functions and adapt code?

[ggwarpig]

I run a service that has it’s own user data. I want my users to be able to login to bbpress using the same username/password that they use for my service. I figure ill just generate a user record in the bb_users table when someone signs up for my service. So…

1) Besides adding the record to the bb_users table, is there anything else I need to do?

2) How are the passwords encrypted?

Thanks!

1. 0.9.0.6 is deprecated.
2. This was fixed in 1.0-RC1 (assuming you’re on Windows)

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

I’ve copied the complete ‘bbpress’ directory tree (with all it’s subdirctories) from my server to ‘htdoc/mydomain/bbpress’ and reloaded a complete dump of mySQL database (DROP table enabled) into the local one under XAMPP.

Accessing it under ‘http://127.0.0.1/mydomain/bbpress&#8217; worked fine w/o any flaws – until I looked at the Plugin list within Admin. Although all Plugins (activated on the server) still worked flawlessly, each one in the XAMPP listing does only show the ‘Activate’ status!

Any idea what causes the wrong status display? Where is the status information stored?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Both the “Freshness”/latest reply and normal links in the Search function should be including the page number in links, as that’s allowed for in the function used, get_topic_link() .

Sort’ve worrying if it’s not including it! bbPress.org includes the page number…

It’s not included for any page 1 links though.
