I wish I didn’t, but I do…bbPress is setting a cookiehash & I need to change it, I thought this would be possible by using

define('BB_COOKIEHASH', md5('my key here'));

or

define('COOKIEHASH', md5('my key here'));

in my bb-config.php, but whatever I use as ‘my key here’ makes no difference to the cookies created by bbPress, any other ideas?

I have 1.0.2 and it works fine. Try disabling except that one and start testing and seeing which one conflicts.

I know what my cookiehash is & am including it in the wp-config.php files, it’s just bbPress that doesn’t seem to set a cookie using the define(‘COOKIEHASH’, md5(‘my key here’));, I have also tried using define(‘BB_COOKIEHASH’, md5(‘my key here’)); but still no joy.

Hi all,

I am trying to integrate BBPress with a few WordPress installs that all share the same user table database.

All is working fine except for adding:

define('COOKIEHASH', md5('my key here'));

in the bb-config.php file, no matter what I add here, the cookiehash is never changed using BBPress 1.0.2, is this a bug have I missed something?

I’m translating and modifying the theme, you can see it in my forum: http://ayudawordpress.com/foro/

I’ve made some changes to adecuate it to bbPress 1.x (core code adaptations to new functions). I’ve changed some css too, reordered the front page, added the description to the style.css and a screenshot and a lot more. When it is finished I’ll publish it.

doesn’t work.

I had that, and that’s why I’m asking. Cause it did not work.

Greetings,

After searching and reading around a bit, I still cannot resolve this “issue”. Basically I’d like to hide the sub-forums from my homepage So that only the category or parent forum shows up.

I came across this post:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-subforums-on-main-page

which seemed to offer a quick fix of replacing one line of code:

<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>

to

<?php if ( bb_forums("depth=1") ) : ?>

Unfortunately this does not seem to work.

If any further information is needed, please let me know! Thanks very much!

[Rohan Kapoor]

They will be releasing the code soon but not yet.

[Rohan Kapoor]

Please post a link to your installation.

Simple machine forums also has the option to add members as friends.

[gerikg]

take out

define( 'WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1 );

if you’re using 2.8.4a and make sure the other “defines” are right after <?

google ads

Hello,

There is a bug in bb-includes/functions.bb-forums.php, at line 101 in bbpress v1.0.2. The code assumes that the forum_id is the sames the array_id when the array is flattened. This is not always the case if you apply_filters to the forum list such as private forums does.

The code ccurrently reads:

_forums[$_id] = $forums[$_id]

Which may not be true if the forum id is not the same as the array id.

This code does fixed the problem…. The key is to convert forum_id into an array enumerator so that when you look at $_ids you compare to the proper array which is no longer the full array but one with missing topics/forums.

$forums = (array) apply_filters( ‘get_forums’, $forums );

+ foreach($forums as $f) {

+ $fids[$f->forum_id] = $f;

+ }

if ( $child_of || $hierarchical || $depth ) {

$_forums = bb_get_forums_hierarchical( $child_of, $depth, $forums );

if ( !is_array( $_forums ) )

return false;

$_forums = (array) bb_flatten_array( $_forums, $cut_branch );

foreach ( array_keys($_forums) as $_id )

+ $_forums[$_id] = $fids[$_id];

Suppose I was to use .9, is there any way to actually get my 1.0 database over to a .9 install?

See, this is the major problem that has been plaguing me all this time. To begin with, I only switched to bbPress because my phpBB3 (modded) broke and the database was partially messed up (no matter what I tried, I could not get that database onto a clean install).

Luckily I was able to get that db over to bbPress, but now that I am here I feel like A) I’m stuck (no backup/restore feature scares me half to death, and that I might have made a mistake. To hear that I should be downgrading to an older version is pretty frightening too, because this is for a client, and I wasn’t planning on sticking around for years to fix all the potential things that might happen from using a year old version of something (especially when support for the .9 version gets dropped altogether.

I really don’t like phpBB3. It does not offer me to the modification/ease of use that I need as a dev. On the other hand, it seems like the more I try to do with bbPress, the less it delivers. Almost none of the useful plugins work with 1.0.2, so I’m stuck deciding whether I should spend the time creating my own theme (based off of the WP theme for the client), or whether I should be trying to figure out how to get this db (which has changed since I left phpBB3) and move it to a platform that is more mature.

This is all very frustrating – and basically illustrates why I hate forum software in general. Any suggestions? I’m desperate/almost at my wits end…

All I really want is:

1. avatars (not just gravatars) [that users can upload for themselves]
2. private messages
3. attachments
4. smilies

And yet, it seems like even these things cannot be had with 1.0 – at least not from what I can find by searching this site (which by the way really needs to organize plugins based on bbPress version compatibility). So in a round about way, I guess I’m stuck with bbPress (and hopefully things will improve – don’t get me wrong it’s great software, but it’s just too simple [without plugins] for what I need). That being said, if the only way for me to enjoy those features lised above is via plugins, then how do I downgrade my install to .9? Alternatively, can I [and if so how do I] install .9 and then point it to my pre-existing 1.0 database (so that all the users, posts, etc, are not lost, and so they resolve in the new .9 install)?

Thanks in advance for any help that you – or anyone else – can give me…

Sam mentioned a year or so ago that:

There will be a sort of super plugin that you will be able to integrate into bbPress to get most of the functionality of TalkPress. The working name for the project is “bbPress Channels”. It will be released after TalkPress.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/talkpress-suggestions

TalkPress is their hosted “bbPress MU” – so it sounds like eventually, we’ll have the ability to host multiple bbPress sites from a single install.

[johnhiler]

The only way I know of to allow unusual characters in usernames is to use display names… but that wouldn’t change the URL of user’s profile.

Yah I definitely recommend using the 0.9.x branch. If you’re using a lot of plugins, it’s going to be really frustrating to be on 1.0.

Glad you’re liking bbPress better than phpBB3!

[jeffhiggins]

I suppose. In my case, I’m developing (or rather, redeveloping) a forum for a club, so I don’t have to worry about people not re-registering (or just prompting the system for a new password), because their participation in the club (which they pay for) hinges on their forum experience. In your case, I suppose it might be more concerning.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

bbPress can already be synced with WPMU. What sort of MU features are you looking for?

[jeffhiggins]

Ok thanks. I will do that. I assume that there is no way to actually allow usernames with /’s though? I’m somewhat experienced with WordPress, but I’m definitely new to bbPress.

On that note, it is very disappointing to see that so many plugins don’t work with 1.0 release. Had I known that I probably would have started with .9 release, and it seems that since you can’t downgrade, I’m pretty much stuck. On the other hand, having migrated from phpBB3, bbPress is just so much better to work with (even with its obvious shortcomings – like no automatic database backups/restore capabilities – which I think is a MUCH NEEDED feature).

Guys,

I know bp has this feature, but I really think this a really hot feature to give users the option the update their status.

It’s one of the features I really love about Facebook, and would really loved it I could implement this feature in my own bbpress forum.

I would loved it if users could update their status from the index, and if I login I can see other users their status update. And reply on it, and also leave my own status update.

Buyddypress has this feature, I looove it. I found a plugin where I think this works on WordPress.

See http://www.instinct.co.nz/wordpress-status-updates-plugin/

I’m really considering to integrate wp afterall, ‘cause most plugins are wp based.

But if anyone could program this feature to work on bbpress, I’d be very happy and probably a lot of other people too.

[chrishajer]

That means the path to your stylesheet is incorrect. Please post a link to your forum so someone can help you.

[batrachoid]

You don’t mention what version of WordPressMU you have; you do have that installed also, right?

Buddypress is basically just a plugin. Have you been able to install and integrate wpmu and bbpress without it?
