Alright, now I am having *serious* issues getting Rewrite Rules to work.

I’ve done these dozens of times and they aren’t particular complicated, here is a brief example of what I am trying to do:

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^example/?$ /forum/bb-plugins/example/example.php [NC,L]

</IfModule>

Accessing ‘http://www.example.com/forum/bb-plugins/example/example.php’ directly works perfectly. Accessing from ‘http://www.example.com/example’ does a redirect to ‘http://www.example.com/forums’.

There are NO other rewrite rules active. I even disabled those from bbpress to try to track down what is happening. But some sort of 302 redirect keeps occurring. Is bbpress triggering this internally somehow?

Rohan is wrong.

It’s available at bbShowcase:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes

Look for the “bbOrg” theme.

There’s also a similar version called “The Hybrid / aka Kakumei Too”

They’re probably not updated for bbPress v1.01 though, but with a few adjustments you could probably get there.

I’m offering $10 to whoever can get this done for me.

Just send me an email

I did essentially add in the bbpress custom css to my wp theme’s css, too, so that they would really mesh up better, as well.

Log out, flush your cookies, log back in.

Did you mesh bbPress and WordPress?

Hi there – has anyone tried to use the registerd users only plugin with wordpress and bbpress running together? I found that it works great for wordpress but skunks all access to bbpress. Anyone get around this?

Thanks!

Anyone have any idea how one would be able to ‘bridge’ the user database of multiple bbPress sites?

Example:

1) Someone signs up to post on bbPress site 1.

2) The same user name and login works on bbPress site 2.

3) Likewise, someone who signed up on site 2 can login and post under site 1.

Is this possible or simply a pipedream?

Any plugins or site features in the works for something like that?

It doesn’t look like bbPress has an extensive library of plugins like Word Press.

bbPress JUST went live with the 1.x version. So yeah, there are few plugins. It’s a baby.

Best is subjective. What do you need out of a forum?

Simple Press Sucks

BBPress is too young at this point for it to be a permanent solution

Vanilla is too unstable to be a permanent solution

VBulletin is too clunky

Esotalk got abandoned.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE WORDPRESS FOR FORUMS…YET

[Raize]

So much for giving back to the community lol

[batrachoid]

While I haven’t integrated WordPress and bbPress yet, this topic looks helpful:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/easy-way-to-integrate-bbpress-wordpress-themes

If you’re concerned about bells and whistles, your best bet might be to stick with version 9.0, since there are many more plugins that are known to be compatible. Right now, trying to use the older plugins on 1.0.1 might get you a lot of honks and farts instead.

[batrachoid]

If you’re using Avatar Upload, this seems to be a common problem.

Here is my reponse from another thread:

Yeah, I had the same problem when I updated to the most recent version of BBpress until I noticed this post over at https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/

It worked like a charm for me.

Howdy,

It doesn’t look like bbPress has an extensive library of plugins like Word Press. Is this really the best option for forums or should I consider Simple Press, which is what others recommend.

Also, does anyone know of a plugin that allows people to share posts via other social networking sites? Thanks all.

[djboddington]

wow thats good! Thanks for this

[bikingtoronto]

Can you link to the Avatars plug-in? I think there’s a few of them.

I’m using Avatar Upload, and after some fiddling, it’s working great.

My problem is that only users without caps in “user_login” can post to the forum.

The first sign of the problem after pressing “Submit” is in “validate_auth_cookie()” in “class.wp-auth.php” (via “bb-auth()” in “bb-posts.php”).

Specifically, the call to “get_user()” around line 77 is returning false, exiting at line 288 in “class.wp-users.php” .

To cover some of the obvious questions:

– I have flushed cookies and tried this on multiple browsers

– I have inserted the lines into bb-config.php that were suggested by the WP bbPress integration plugin

– I have all the secret keys defined on both sides

– I have “define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1);” in bb-config.php

– I am using deep integration, but get the same result without it

– I get the same result with the standard bbPress theme

UPDATE: it really is about the caps. For user_nicename “reboot”…

– user_login = rebootzzz CAN post

– user_login = rebootZZZ can NOT post

– user_login = Reboot can NOT post

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’m going to put in a standard disclaimer here: iframes are dangerous.

Example: If someone manages to put in malicious code in a bbPress post and you edit it via the admin side using this plugin, it is possible you could bugger your WP install. Now it’s a slim possibility, but iframes are bad, evil and annoying and should be avoided if possible.

Great idea for a plugin, use it responsibly, folks.

I managed to convert from phpbb3.0.5 to bbpress 1.0.1, but user’s can’t login, their password isn’t working anymore. I tried the md5 thingy, but it doesn’t seem to help.

[andywilliams244]

I’m not sure how I’d go about that, could somebody post a step by step tutorial? I’ve never dove this far into bbpress before.

Thanks guys, I’d owe you one

[Göran]

Thank you Arturo for the effort. The problem with the “d” was in the .mo file and I changed that yesterday, thanks to other helpful people in this forum.

How did you know how to help me with the for me unknown picture in the header? How should I have thought to find it myself?

I find the structure of bbPress hard to understand. I would like to see a picture of the start page and explanations for where in which file the different elements are defined. Anyone interested in trying to create such a picture?

[DennisH]

….anyone?

I have incorporated Tommie’s metadata changes into the translation file I’ve made (and changed “sullat” to tappat”). Both .po and .mo files are still available at http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/bbpress-sv_SE.zip

There are a few differences between my translation file and Tommie’s – mainly, his file uses “etikett” and “ämne” where I use “tagg” and “tråd” (the corresponding english words are “tag” and “topic”/”thread”). There are a few other differences, too.

I’ve uploaded a diff file for the really curious: http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/tommievsplrk.diff

[Ryan Hellyer]

Thanks. I was considering making this exact plugin myself. Glad to see I don’t need to now

[Ryan Hellyer]

If you are going to resort to iframe’ing it then you may as well use some sort of hosted solution.
