correction: trying to view cookies. bbpress doesn’t even use cookies.

[pikatore]

anyone know how to change the label on the tab ‘Avatar’ to something like ‘Picture’ without screwing up the entire plugin? A simple change of that word screws up the plugin.

p /p br br/ tags showing up in bbpress as well as buddypress groups

integrated everything well,but this is a bug how can i fix it

[yangers101]

Hi Markus,

Thanks for the tips. I followed the steps outlined in the above string, and I tried new cookies, but it’s still not working. I’ve pasted this code in the bb-config.php $bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true; too and it’s still not working. Any more ideas? I appreciate the help.

i’ve always had 1.0, but it is still creating read only directories in ftp! and i can’t delete or modify them in ftp with the domain name account!

I use Buddypress+bbpress and in the topic or post view I want to make a link from a post author in BbPress forums to the /members/ area in Buddypress.

Basically I just need to write a static url :

http://www.homepage.com/members/<?php get nice_username from post author ?>

How I can echo the post author’s nice_username? I need the “nice_username” or else, with post_author_name the link gets broken.

Please help me!

What about queries, php etc.

[johnhiler]

Hey collmonster – it’s definitely possible to change this. This plugin should do the trick.

You can also increase your chances of making it through any spam algorithms if you’re using an SMTP mailer:

Good luck!

bbPress isn’t a plugin. It should have been installed in the http://www.mydomain.com/forum directory. You should move it there and then remove that bb->uri setting.

Any integration from WP to BB may need to be re-set at this point (just changing the locations etc).

Hi yangers101,

i migrate my wordpress & bbpress installation yesterday to wordpress mu & bbpress. After the migration i have also problems with the cookie integration. The same problems i have 2 months ago for the normal cookie integration.

This article about the integration of buddypress, wpmu and bbpress helps me a lot:

http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/04/30/integrating-buddypress-10-wpmu-and-bbpress

For me – it was necessary to try new secret cookie keys. I changed all keyphrase in wp-config und bb-config:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘keyphrase’);

Any tips on the best way to create <b>bbPress</b> theme options pages? Any example themes out there?

[Ryan Hellyer]

According to _ck_ bbPress is faster. According to Sam phpBB is “probably” faster in some situations, in others bbPress is faster. In most situations I’d assume bbPress would load paages faster simply because it generally has a lot less to do, both content wise (less features = less HTML/CSS) and processing wise. The only way to tell would be to bench test two identical setups, but I haven’t heard of anyone doing that before.

In most practical situations I doubt the performance issues are a real issue though. The way you code your theme will probably have more effect on page load times than anything in the backend.

This is all just guess work though.

The registration works like for wordpress, the user can change the password afterwards.

If you change this function bbpress will not work with wordpress

[kraig]

I think bbpress is relatively faster when compared to phpbb.

Hello,

I installed bbpress and its working great. One thing though. I think its better if the user picks their password at the beginning, currently a random one is generated adn then the user has to change it which is a pain for some. Is it possible to change this?

Also, when I registered a second account for myself, the registration email went into my gmail spam folder! I hope this does not happen with my users as they will give up!

Thanks

[Olaf Lederer]

I think you can’t compare both forums, bbpress is still in an early stadium.

bbpress is very cool because it’s very easy to combine bbpress with wordpress (and buddypress)

EDIT: and bbpress is more spamproof (at least for me)

[yangers101]

I have the latest versions of WordPressMU, Buddypress, and bbpress installed on my site. Each component works fine individually, but I can’t get the logins to integrate. When I login to WordPress and I switch over to bbpress, I still need to login again. I have verified my cookie/salt/auth settings in both wp and bb config.php files. It’s driving me crazy. I’ll PAY someone to help me hack this. I’m probably just missing one simple step, but I can’t figure out what it is. Please help! Thanks!!!

[maxbmx]

phpbb vs bb press board. Which is faster?

…and “how much” faster is.

[yangers101]

I tried the link, but still need help integrating the logins. When I login to the site via WordPress and then switch over to the bbpress part of my site, it asks me to login again. I am using WordPress MU 2.8.4a , bbpress 1.0.2, Buddypress 1.0.3. Please help!!!!

If you don’t have time to wait around for someone to help you, you should consider hiring some help.

How about this: http://labs.b5media.com/blog/creating-the-anypress-solution/

I’m using the 0.9 version of bbPress, and have noticed something weird. On two of my installs, if an admin goes to someone’s profile and clicks edit, they see the following checkbox:

Allow this user to [ ] Ignore the 30 second post throttling limit

If you check that off and click save, then that user can post more than once every 30 seconds. It’s a neat feature.

On my other installs, the “Allow this user to” label shows up… but the checkbox that lets you turn it on and off isn’t there. That line now just says: “Allow this user to”.

Any ideas why that checkbox sometimes doesn’t show up on some bbPress installs?

The only difference I can think of is that the first two installs were upgraded from bbPress version 0.8… while the other installs are all fresh installs. Could that cause this issue?

How about you: when you (the admin) goes to edit somebody’s profile… do you see the checkbox that lets you change their “throttle” saving?

[johnhiler]

There are no bbPress chat plugins that I’m aware of:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/chat

Also, _ck_ is a female developer.

[johnhiler]

Are you installing bbPress as a plugin under your WordPress?

[collmonster]

Phew! Fixed it (found it in an old topic):

Find: “bb-config.php” and add the following:

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress&#8217;;

Ok so if I do actually want to change the url to mydomain.com/forum – how do I do this, can anyone tell me please?

Thanks in advance!
