here’s a link to the plugin i downloaded: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/terms-of-service/

@andywilliams244 Try this for a nifty nav bar that shows at the very top of your site (maybe use this at the very top of both your WordPress and bbPress site?):

1) Check this link out: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic55647.html

2) What you want to do is make a really simple PHP file, lets call it “andybar.php” (if you have trouble making one copy one of your .php bbpress files and rename it)

3) Copy the code from that page into the php file. (you probably want to open with Notepad or Wordpad)

4) Fill in the links how you want them to be, like:

<li><a href="http://www.andywebsite.com">ANDY_WEBSITE</a></li>

5) Save the php file and upload it into the folder of your theme.

6) Put this in the header where you want the bar to display:

<?php bb_head(); ?>

<?php include('andybar.php');?>

<br>

</head>

7) The bar should appear at the very top of your bbPress site. You can easily change the colors with the CSS inside that one php file.

You might need to play with the bbPress CSS if there is a spacing issue above or below the bar. Hope this helps!

You can download the archive here:

https://bbpress.org/dl-archive/bbpress-0.9.0.5.zip

It’s currently very difficult to find and download old releases. We’re hoping the powers that be create a release archive for old versions linked from the bbPress download page…

Ipstenu, here are links to the plugins i’ve used:

btw, what are backsticks?

[deanes02]

I put define( 'WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1 ); in bb-config, but I still have the same problem.

I can log into WPMU, BuddyPress and bbPress all with the same credentials. Logging into any of them doesn’t log me out of any of the others.

When I log into WPMU or BuddyPress, I am logged into both of them but not bbPress. IF I am logged out of all three, when I log into bbPress I am only logged into bbPress. I can log into bbPress and WPMU seperately and I remain logged into both.

If I am logged into both WPMU and bbPress, I can log out of one but remain logged into the other.

I am presuming I should just be able to log into any of the three and be logged into ALL three?

Thanks for your help above (I’ve cleared the cache and checked my settings again and again

Any more ideas?

Hi bbpress staff and coders ,

I want to ask u the bbpress 0.9.x latest pack ( 0.9.5 ) . Currently I need to study the code of this previous version for security pourpose , and I would be very glad to u if can provide my request .

Sorry for nuisance .

Regards.

Still trying to figure this out–I think I just need to find the place where bbPress finds out the ID of the current user, and insert my own function.

I looked in class.wp-auth.php as well as pluggable.php. As a test, I tried changing the validate_auth_cookie and get_current_user functions to “return XXXXX” in order to login user XXXXX automatically, but it didn’t work. I’m not sure if I’m changing the right functions, or if I’m returning the wrong information.

Is the ID number enough information to log a user in?

Where does it need to be provided?

There are a number of old threads with similar questions, but it seems like nobody has found an answer…

Thanks again!

If you’re familiar with ReCAPTCHA I’ve written a plugin that integrates this spam prevention tool with bbPress.

It’s still waiting to go into the SVN, but you can download it here – http://www.gospelrhys.co.uk/plugins/bbpress-plugins/recaptcha-bbpress-plugin

I’ve tested this on a 0.9 site, and it’s completely eliminated spam (since Sunday…at least!)

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Don’t rename bb-config-sample.

Finally, I have also created the database in phpMyAdmin. Of course there’s 0 tables.

That’s fine You have to create the DB before bbPress can connect to it. bbPress doesn’t make the DB for you (any more than WordPress does so this should be familiar).

You should be able to run the install now, though make sure bbPress can write to the bbpress folder, so it can create the bb-config.php file as it goes (you can remove the access later).

Hi everyone,

I’ve successfully installed PHPBB3 forums, WordPress blogs etc etc… and somehow, I’m having a nightmare installing BBpress…

I’m not a coding/IT guru but I’m not a beginner either so this makes the thing even more frustrated. By wanting to make the installation process easy, the description lacks a lot of details I believe. Here’s what I have:

– Yahoo web hosting

– MySQL Server version: 4.1.14

– MySQL client version: 3.23.49

– phpMyAdmin latest version

Steps:

1. download bbpress

2. upload it to gufugumu.com/bbpress

3. go to the url gufugumu.com/bbpress -> installation window appears fine

4. Step1 – fill the information

– Database name : guillos

– Database user : admin

– Database password : *********

Then comes the famous error : “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.”

So I can’t pass step1. I then look in the forum but could not find anything usefull. One would expect that installing a forum should not require advanced PHP or MySQL knowledge. This is quite annoying.

Also, if I try to remove the “-sample” from the “bb-config-sample.php” then I get the error message “ERROR: Could not establish a database connection”. Finally, I have also created the database in phpMyAdmin. Of course there’s 0 tables.

Any help would be extremly nice as I’m about to give up and go for PHPBB3…

Thanks in advance

Check out https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

Basically you’ll make a new theme, but bbPress acts like a child theme, in that if you don’t specify something, it uses the default from the Kakumei templates. Once you get in there, it starts to make sense and feel elegant.

[Ryan Hellyer]

In any case I think it would be wrong to pimp Gravatar in the actual default theme.

I wouldn’t call it “pimping Gravatar”, but “helping bbPress forum users”.

bbPress is pimping Gravatar already by including it in the core software. Adding information about a core service in the theme seems reasonable to me. Themes are there to be edited. If someone doesn’t want to “pimp gravatar” they can easily remove it.

Actually, it’d almost be nice to be able to tie Gravatar into your board so that when someone goes to change their avatar, it backends the whole deal to Gravatar. Imagine: Changing your gravatar from any enabled site, without having to login. And being able to pick which gravatar for which site…

There was a discussion about this over at WPTavern.com recently. It would be terrific if someone built that functionality. It doesn’t seem to be a particularly trivial task though unfortunately.

There’s no facebook connect plugin. More here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/login-using-facebook-connect

[johnhiler]

There’s an openid plugin, but it’s not officially supported in bbPress 1.0:

[phaniraj01]

Dear All,

Please let us know whether we have facebook friend connect or open id support available in new BBPRESS.

Thanks alot for your time to providing wondeful forum software…

Look around for implementing a horizontal menu in CSS and then you will be able to have the same WP menu in bbPress

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

From phpMyAdmin, select bbPress tables and delete them by “drop” option. Before doing anything, takes a backup incase anything goes wrong.

[kipperman]

I have the same database as the WP install for BBpress, How do I delete the tables without ruining the WPMU database info?

I can only assume that on the DB the bb tables are separated somehow. A word of advise please before I wreck it all!

[deadlyhifi]

You should definitely submit your patches in the comments of the plugin pages, if you’re willing!

Indeed I have:

and

Thanks _ck_, just tried that and it seems to work ok…

[AdventureCanoe]

This thing is pretty pimp. I am using bbPress with a sort of modified Kakumei theme. I also pimped it out with the tinyMCE editor and a bunch of plugins from _ck_ as well as some stuff I wrote myself.

Check it out and post something to make me look popular.

Only people that have rushed to the new version are in limbo.

1.0 has been out only a whole week now.

The alpha/RC phases didn’t help as more was changed afterwards.

One only has to study what happened to WordPress during it’s growing pains to see what will happen to bbPress.

GPL means you can republish the plugin, ie. post a link to a new download with your fixes. Taking over for an author within the extend section itself is another matter however and is best done with permission from the original author. Then someone like Sam can add you to the SVN. Rarely is it impossible to reach an author – they may leave bbpress but unlikely the entire internet.

Many plugins are broken under 1.0

I assume you tried this one https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbvideo/

[thekmen]

Hi all, is there any easy way to add a youtube video to a bbPress 1.0.1 topic?

I have tried the admin can post anything plugin, but it doesn’t seem to work.

[deadlyhifi]

although it may be a little put of date now, the principles are the same.
