Upgrade from 0.9.0.4 to 1.0.2 is pretty good but “content 2” in 1 box not upgrade… see picture. http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/4599/bbpress102.png

Topics, tags created on bbPress 1.0.2 many…

Hey, is there a BBpress vector logo available to incorporate into custom themes, in the footer?

Regards

Will

[reclaimyourskin]

Hey guys,

I’m in the process of building a BBpress theme under the GPL license. I was wondering if it’s possible to include a theme options page (in the bb-admin section) for my theme, similar to WordPress themes. The idea being that users could add/edit about text/footer text without editing core files.

Any ideas/feedback would be appreciated.

[johnhiler]

They’re merging WordPress MU and WordPress (single user). Since Buddypress is WordPress MU + plugins… the social features should be integrated into WordPress single user when that’s done.

I agree that bbPress lacks many social features… but that’s not really the scope of the project, which is more focused on forums? If there’s a specific feature you’d like to see, let us know in the forums!

Hi, I succeed to migrate from fluxbb to bbpress.

here are the queries I used. There are no explanations but maybe it will help you.

I made this by duplicating the tables fluxbb_forums,fluxbb_topics & fluxbb_posts in my bbPress database.

DON’T FORGET TO BACKUP BOTH TABLES BEFORE DOING ANYTHING !

For each table I deleted some fields and rename them to match bbpress structure, and at the end I import the datas in the right bbpress table.

http://pastie.org/571210

Do the queries one at time so you can check if there are errors.

I didn’t made anything on the users table as it’s integrated with WP on my website.

To give back a WP user its fluxBB posts; do this

UPDATE bb_posts SET poster_id=NEW_WP_USERID WHERE poster_id=OLD_FLUXBB_USERID;

UPDATE bb_topics SET topic_poster=NEW_WP_USERID WHERE topic_poster=OLD_FLUXBB_USERID;

When done, don’t forget to recount everything (posts, etc). in the admin panel.

Reminds me of this quote I read yesterday:

@KathySierra The secret to real user-happiness magic is a balance between the promise-making department and the promise-keeping departments

bbPress is not right for some people, but it’s just fine for a lot of others. I look forward to the day when Automattic puts a bunch of resources behind it. Until then, I just accept it for what it is.

I used to get upset when I saw people ranting on bbPress in these forums, but I realize now that the ones who complain are the ones who really care. If you didn’t care, you’d just walk away. So it’s something about the promise of bbPress that’s not yet been realized that gets people frustrated.

One more place where I found problem. I tried plugin Use Display Name and if there are utf8 characters in display_name values they are too displayed as question marks.

[DennisH]

I’m sorry but sometimes less is just less. I looked forward to having a lite integrated forum, but it doesn’t look like bbPress is ready for that.

Saying bbPress can be integrated with WordPress is like saying your seat can be used as a flotation device.

The fact this site isn’t integrated should have been a tip off.

If you are looking for anything beyond just cookie integration good night and good luck.

Sure, theme integration can be done via some costly hacks, but its the simple stuff that has my head spinning. Something simple like a bbPress login box in WordPress is more complicated and less likely than Mideast peace.

I just don’t get it….

It seems like all the “social cms” resources and ideas are being put into Buddypress. Can’t we have some of those basic features in the single WP install?

WP-United for phpbb has these features. Why is it so hard for bbPress?

Don’t get me wrong, the people supporting BB here in this forum are great. Problem is there just are not enough of them to fill in the big gaps created at inception.

Sorry for the rant. I still would love to use bbPress, I hope one day soon they will fulfill its promise. Until then:

I have problem in displaying utf8 characters from wp_usermeta. My bbPress 0.9 installation is integrated with WordPress 2.7 and uses wp_users and wp_usermeta tables from WordPress.

I use this hack to display information about user that is stored in WordPress built-in fields like first_name and last_name on profiles page. Also I use bb_get_usermeta function to print that data below username on topic page.

As you can see in this screenshot, wp_usermeta uses utf8_general_ci and on this screenshot you can see that values are correctly saved in fields. But on bbPress pages those utf8 characters are not displayed correctly. Also on profile editing page in bbPress, those characters are also nnot displayed correctly.

Finally, on topic page, you can see that utf8 from usermeta is also not displayed correctly.

Note that my registration is handled through WordPress since I redirect bbPress registration page to WordPress one, and on WordPress users fill their profile info, where everything is shown normally.

Also to note that utf8 characters in topic titles and posts are displayed correctly.

One strange thing I spotted is that if user edit it’s profile on bbPress profile editing page, and replace those question marks with correct characters, after that those characters would display normally on bbPress.

So my question is why is this happening and how to solve it?

Thanks in advance

When I first switched on Gravatars, and selected a gravatar from gravatar.com, things looked great.

Until I tried to change it a few days ago. I uploaded a new one and selected it, but BBPress insists on showing the old gravatar! I’ve even gone so far as to delete my original gravatar from gravatar.com; it still shows the old one! What’s going on??

[Simon Wheatley]

I have a bbPress install which is sharing user tables and cookies with WordPress.

I’m trying to create a link in bbPress which will allow my users to log out using the WordPress logout page, To do this I think I need to make a nonce in bbPress which WordPress will recognise. So far my attempts have failed. I’ve aligned the salts, hashes and keys in wp-config.php and bb-config.php.

Any suggestions?

[bhujhangi]

resolved hadn’t had to delete my wordpress install but have to check whether the integration works or not

well it is due to the keys character support may not be the problem but keys surely are because of

1. wrong defining of salt key

2. mismatch of keys

had defined secure auth key salt longer than the secure auth key cookie and wordpress LOGGED IN salt was not matching the bbPress LOGGED IN salt cookie, this wasn’t the root but wrong definition might have been.

advice:

while filling up these keys be patient and double check them.

i am currently facing Fatal error: Call to undefined function in almost every file virtually

that i think is due to functions integration with wordpress

this all is due to this little function:

require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);

thanks for the help

Announcements would be READ ONLY forums, not Hidden Forums.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/read-only-forums/

You can also just post a topic and close it so regular users can’t reply.

[Oxhorn]

Thank you SO much! I went in and just deleted all tables that started with bb_ then I was able to reinstall my forum.

Woot!

[Rohan Kapoor]

Well, I deep integrate most sites I end up installing so the page makes sense as a link to the forums,

[Rohan Kapoor]

Your problem is the bbpress database tables. you can directly change the bb_optionmeta table to show the changes to the new location. That should fix it. Also delete your .htaccess fiel.

[mikeumus]

bbPress 1.0 and WordPress 2.8.2

It’s not the database in the bb-config.php file that changed. It was the Worpress 2.8.2 database that got migrated.

https://trac.bbpress.org/ is pretty neat. Thanks for that.

[bhujhangi]

well what happened at :

http://www.atcv.net/

it is up and running!!!!!

did you reinstalled wordpress? and bbPress??

well i am facing similar problem i used wordpress 2.8.2 and bbpress 1.0.2,

similar error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /……./wp-blog-header.php on line 18

it has shifted to line 18 because i did functions integration

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

earlier bbPress was running but not the wordpress, after doing this Functions integration bbPress too started showing a warning about this require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’); and a fatal error.

but then i removed the function require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’); and now i have bbPress up and running, earlier there was a SECURE AUTH cookie salt mismatch which i changed, but i didn’t solve the problem with wordpress install, earlier while installing bbPress, i checked wordpress config file it had three cookie keys and salts weren’t there so i defined 70 letter long strings with the characters

1,2,3…0

a,b,c…z

A,B,C…Z

!@#$%^&*()_+=-:”‘;<>?/.,

true wordpress keys don’t have these special characters

could these be the cause of the problem?

or filling in a wrong key at installtion process could have done it,

i don’t think defining a new salt key could have initiated all this

i have two wordpress MU installs and bbPress works well with them.

why problems with standard wordpress maybe character support?????????

[Oxhorn]

So my bbpress is broken, and I don’t know how to fix it.

I built my site with wordpress in a sub directory. I integrated my bbpress with my wordpress and it worked great!

Then I decided that I wanted my URL to look like its own domain, instead of a subdomain. My wordpress went from being

brandonmdennis.com/oxhorn

to

oxhorn.com

I saved my pagelinks and presto, everything is snazzy. I went to check my forum, however, and it was broken. My forum was missing, but I still saw the admin section. So no sweat, I logged into the dashboard and proceeded to change the URL in settings from

brandonmdennis.com/oxhorn/forum

to

oxhorn.com/forum

Thinking that this would solve the issue. I clicked update, and got to an “oops! page not found” screen. But now I can’t even log into my bbpress install dashboard. Everything I do now sends me to an “oops” error page.

I tried uninstalling bbpress by removing the folder and removing the wordpress bbpress integration plugin. I tried doing a new, clean installation of bbpress, but when I get to step two I see the message “Woops! Looks like you already have bbpress installed” and it wont let me go further. I even tried installing it in a different subdirectory and got the same problem. My questions are:

1) How do I re-install bbpress?

2) Is there some code I need to remove from my wordpress installation?

3) How do I re-integrate my bbpress with wordpress so that they share the same database? I had it working splendidly until I changed my WordPress domain name.

WordPress site:

oxhorn.com

Bbpress installation:

brandonmdennis.com/oxhorn/forums

Thanks all!

Then you can create a PAGE in wordpress called Forums and it will link to the forums folder automatically.

That entirely depends on your permalink structure. You shouldn’t need to make a page for ‘forums’ at all, if WP is set up correctly, even as a subfolder under the main wordpress folder. I never do

[johnhiler]

This lets you mark a forum as admin only:

[chrishajer]

You’re not snoooping around enough. bbPress development is still occuring, just on a much smaller scale than WordPress. In the past couple months we’ve had a couple alpha version of 1.0, a 1.0 release, 1.0.1 release, 1.0.2 release, 0.9.0.6 release and a new theme at bbpress.org.

You can always watch for activity here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/

Or subscribe to the bbDev mailing list if you really want the nuts and bolts:

https://lists.bbpress.org/mailman/listinfo/bbdev

What versions of bbPress and WordPress did you integrate?

[chrishajer]

Need a little more information. What software did you integrate bbPress with? Is the warning a browser security warning or warning from that software? Can you post a URL?

[bock-the-robber]

Some progress. According to my geek, it seems the installation process reset a variable showing all posts as unpublished. He reinstalled WordPress and did some tweaking of the modifications bbPress did to the database, so now at least we have the archive back and all the old posts are visible. The front page seems to be working as well.

However, I still can’t publish any new posts.

We’re working on it.

[kernpunt]

I figured it out. I had access to the server logs, but they were still returning 200 ok and looked fine. After disabling plugins, it looks like WP-reCAPTCHA was conflicting with bbpress’s reCAPTCHA. I should have realized that, haha.
