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)

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’ 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?

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.

Search for “threaded”

I noticed today, that the profile page, in the section Recent Replies, that the links are actually to the topics and not the posts itself.

How do I make this go directly to the post?

Also, in the search.php, when you search for something, it gives you the actual topic, but not the post which has the information you’re searching for.

I noticed a missing “page id” in the search results, for example:

A link in the search result will look like domain/topic.php?id=823#post-32876

EVEN THOUGH the actual post might be located at

Domain/topic.php?id=823&page=12#post-32876

I tested the same thing on this website, BBPRESS.ORG, I think it has the same problem. The posts in the search results page is not taking you to the exact post, but just the topic.

How do I change it into the exact post?

I have been going through ashfame’s plugin, but it didn’t make me much wiser.

There was a great plugin called “Move It” that did a lot of what you described:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/move-it/

But it was designed for bbPress 0.8x I believe… ck recommended that 0.9 and 1.0 users not use it.

But if you’re interested in coding something similar, her code might be a good place to start.

Good luck!

[johnhiler]

Line 48 in the plugin has the following setting:

$bb_attachments=true; // auto insert uploaded images into post49

source: https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/bb-attachments/trunk/bb-attachments.php

Is that set to true? I noticed that the image wasn’t showing up in your post at all (only in the list of attachments at the end of the post).

Also… you mentioned, “I modify the line in both folders, in the root and the other in my-plugins folder, and nothing happend”.

What do you mean, both folders… the code should only be in the /bb-attachments/ folder under /my-plugins/.

The bb-attachments folder over the root is meant to hold the uploads… the one in /my-plugins/ is designed to hold the code.

Yes, budypress has this feature, a similar thing for bbpress, would be cool though

Is there a bbPress theme that looks like this: http://makeupalley.com/board/board.asp?bid=1

where the replies are threaded?

[skixc]

Hi – I recently set up a forum, integrated with WordPress.

bbPress 1.02

WP 2.7

Everything is working fine, but several users are reporting that when they click the “View Profile” link they get a “User Not Found” error. I have examined their accounts in the database and have not found anything to differentiate them from other users.

I did find a thread on this forum referring to a similar error for the Key Master after setup. The solution there was to manually add a user nice name in the database. My problem is different as all users have nice names defined in the database already.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

And … what about to move posts between different topics or separate posts from a topic to a new created topic?. These are basic features in other forums software and there’s nothing similar in bbPress.

I think that bbPress need these type of features in order to be a serious forums software, isn’t it?

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED should actually remove those errors. Something must be wrong with your server configuration.

[JohnAKeith]

Oh, it’s the simplest things. You just saved me a lot of time. Thanks.

[Mark Kehn]

Hmm, okay that isn’t working.

Using error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE still shows the warnings for my bbPress

How do I do this properly?

I’m not even sure php.ini is the place to do this because even if I totally remove the error_reporting line from the php.ini file it still shows the errors. Even if I set: display_errors = Off it still shows errors.

So what file am I supposed to be editing?

[Mark Kehn]

Hi Nightgunner5,

Can you tell me how to turn that off? Is there a file somewhere in the PHP folder that I would change this?

EDIT:

I found this in the php.ini file.

So all I have to do is change –

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED

to this –

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

Would that be correct? Anything else I should do? Also, does this mean that I can turn ON error logging again via my .htaccess file for everything else? I like to have the error logging enabled in case I install a plugin or something this way I would know when it is broken.

This is the code I use in the .htaccess –

# SUPPRESS PHP ERRORS FROM SHOWING PUBLICLY:

php_flag display_startup_errors off

php_flag display_errors off

php_flag html_errors off

So again I would like to turn the switches back to ON but at the same time not show the errors in bbPress regarding the DEPRECATED stuff.

Thanks

Broken apparently, but it’d be fixable if I knew what was wrong with it

[johnhiler]

Like a cut tag? If so, I don’t believe so – since the front-page.php and forum.php files don’t show the text of the topics, it’s not as pressing a need on bbPress.

But I could see it being useful if someone wanted to use bbPress to serve Pages/Articles… maybe there’s a plugin that supports this? I haven’t seen it though…

[diegozaks]

@DennisH: thanks for your reply, I am sorry, but I don’t really understand, how do I delete them? do I have to go post by post and delete all the special characters? Perhaps there is a way to increase the maximum length of an SQL command?

[InvTrdr]

Does bbPress have something similar to WPs <!–nextpage–> to break a topic into several pages if too long?

Thanks.

[chrishajer]

It does suck. I always just use google like “site:bbpress.org/forum/” or “site:bbpress.org/plugins/” with my keyword.

The WordPress.org search used to suck equally hard but it got better a while back. Still sucks here. I accept that it sucks and move along.

There were some plugin attempts at better search for bbPress, but I don’t think they’d install a plugin just to improve the plugin search here. I think they used Sphinx at WordPress.org to fix their search:

[chrishajer]

Maybe you could create a custom view for the topic, call it something like “Printer Friendly Page” or “view topic as one page” and put it on each page of a topic?

[chrishajer]

There is a limit to the number of tags being displayed. Here’s some info about the parameters for the tag heat map: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hot-tags-not-updating#post-23324

That’s a few months old, so things may have changed a bit.

For bbPress SEO there are a couple plugins:

http://www.finalwebsites.com/bbpress/bbpress-seo-tools.php

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/is-bbpress-seo-friendly#post-20439

There was another one too, I thought, but I can’t locate it right now.

[InvTrdr]

On my new forum http://www.invictatrader.com/bbpress/ I noticed that as I added more stuff to it with tags, I could see tags on the top in the topic itself but not in the “Heat Map” or the box where the tags are displayed. Is there a limit on how many tags can be shown in this box and if so how can I change the number to whatever I want it to?

Also are tags in bbPress similar to meta tag keywords in WP? I did not see them in the page source under keywords. Does bbPress have a plugin that inserts keywords like in WP?

Thank you.
