It’s possible to use it to power Classifieds like so (this is done with bbPress plus an adapted version of the Support Forum plugin together with the My Views plugins):

http://classifieds.weddingbee.com

However, as far as I know… it’s not currently easy to add all that meta info for each item – i.e. edition name, price, condition, etc. It’d be fairly straightforward to program a plugin to pull that off though! But it’s not currently available, as far as I’m aware…

I’m looking to start up a book exchange for students at the university I attend. I want it to be very basic. People post the book along with some additional information (edition, price, condition, etc.) The posts would need to be searchable (of course), and there would have to be a way of viewing each department separately (for instance, just browsing the French books for sale).

I’ve been playing with Noah’s classifieds, and while it would work, I feel like I can do better. bbPress is very trim, which I like, and I’ve used wordpress a lot, which should be helpful. How well suited is bbPress for something like this?

language files,

in bbPress 0.9 go into bb-includes/languages/

in bbPress 1.0 they go into my-languages/

I was converting another forum tonight and ran into a MySQL error while running the converter.

The error had the name of one of the forums in it, and that forum happened to have a contraction in it. I’m not sure how one could edit the script to accommodate apostrophes, but I simply renamed the forum and removed the apostrophe.

I reran the converter without the apostrophe, and it worked just fine. So if anyone else runs into an error, pay attention to what it is choking on, maybe you can remove some funky characters and sneak around it!

What version of bbPress are you on?

CyrNickName is virtually identical to the function linked above, they all take the same approach:

function sanitize_user_cyr( $raw_username, $username, $strict = false ) {

$raw_username = $username;



$username = strip_tags($username);

// Kill octets

$username = preg_replace('|%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])|', '', $username);

$username = preg_replace('/&.+?;/', '', $username); // Kill entities



// If strict, reduce to ASCII for max portability.

//	if ( $strict )

//		$username = preg_replace('|[^a-z0-9 _.-@]|i', '', $username);



return apply_filters('sanitize_user_cyr', $username, $raw_username, $strict);

}



add_action('sanitize_user', 'sanitize_user_cyr', 0, 3);

Do you have a /my-templates/ folder? More info here!

[hrfedh]

I had installed it into /forums/bbpress. I got it up and running and pointed to that same address. I changed the address to /forums. I tried to move all of the files in bbpress into /forums, then I deleted the bbpress folder.

Any idea why it wouldn’t work.

Arun, I’ve integrated bbPress before using sessions, it was very easy.

Here is the code: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?pid=54919#p54919

[johnhiler]

That 1col_fixed theme only has front-page.php, header.php, footer.php, and a few other miscellaenous files.

If bbPress can’t find a particular template file, it will pull the ones from the default theme, Kakumei (stored in /bb-templates/kakumei )

More here: https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

I would copy the missing files from kakumei over to your 1col_fixed theme, and then you can edit them right there. Good luck!

[johnhiler]

There was some discussion on sessions and bbPress here that may be helpful:

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, my website is using sessions for authentication and for passing values between pages.

Thanks!

Arun.

I’m trying to integrate bbpress into a custom WP theme I’ve made myself. I downloaded a theme that seemed perfect for me to start from, essentially a sandbox-esque theme. I got it from here (scroll down to 1col_fixed, there’s really no working direct link). I edited some files (header.php, footer.php, and front-page.php) and got EXACTLY the look I wanted. It looks fantastic with my site.

However as soon as I stray off the main page, it starts looking hairy. There are NO files to edit so that I can change the forum list view, the topic view, or any other page. The readme file says the following:

bbPress themes can be kept mean and lean. bbPress will pick up any missing mandatory

template files from the default template. Use this to keep your themes simple.

Yes, well, what if I need to customize THEM? Where do I get these files to edit them? Or would it, after all, be easier to start from a different theme?

Thanks… the sooner someone can get back to me on this, the better; I’m kind of on a tight schedule!

[bobbyh]

arun, FYI, bbPress doesn’t use “sessions” for authentication, it uses cookie-based authentication. Does your existing website use “sessions” for authentication?

[bobbyh]

Are you using bbpress 1.0? I hope not, because I wrote that that plugin for 0.8. Also, what version of WordPress are you using?

Also, what version of PHP do you use, is your bbpress integrated with WordPress (not “deep integration”, just “user table integration”. Basically, you have to tell me something about your setup for me to offer any help at all.

[arun.kumar]

Hi,

I am looking for developers to integrate bbPress sessions (authentication) with my website session. Some of the requirements to give you idea:

1. Disable user registration and user login in bbpress, as users session from main website will be used in the forum.

2. Install plugin to show recent posts.

Pay rate is highly attractive. If your coding skills are impressive, you also get a chance to mod PHP website and rewrite PHP files to standards.

If you are really strong in bbPress code, have excellent PHP, MySql, Apache and Linux skills (while Ruby is good to have), Please reach out to me at “arun.seattle@yahoo.com”.

Thanks!

Arun.

Haha, two people asked for this in one day after two years of no interest…

Here’s the download link: http://www.kosmosity.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/list_bookmarks.zip

To be honest, I haven’t looked at this in two years. It doesn’t have any dependencies on bbPress, though, so it should still work. Let me know!

[Kar-l]

You can use CyrNickName plugin (it’s fine with 1.01). I use it for UTF8 usernames. It’s PITA that bbPress does not support it by default.

First off, I would like to say hello this community. I have been a long time supporter of WordPress, and just recently started looking into bbPress. I am very impressed with the software so far, but would like to get a couple kinks ironed out.

I run my own gaming community at http://www.irefire.com. The main page is running off of the most recent version of WordPress. Our forums used to be PHPBB and a backup of them is at http://www.irefire.com/phpbb. Our new forums are running off of the most recent version of bbPress and are located at http://www.irefire.com/forums.

I converted our phpBB3 forums to bbPress (thanks to http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release) but I must have done something wrong since no one’s password worked. It wasn’t a big deal since the community doesn’t have too many members, and they could just reset it. Then I integrated the userbase with my WordPress blog, and all of a sudden the only users I have are the ones that were in WordPress.

All of my users are gone except for those that were in WordPress. Even then, one of them (Giraffe) has been assigned as the author of posts he never wrote. Any help as to how to get my users back and on the forums (even if they have to reset their passwords) but keep it integrated with my WordPress (so they only need one account to post on the forums and comment on the blog) would be great. If I need to just do a clean install of bbPress and try pulling over the phpBB passwords correctly this time, help would be appreciated in how to do that.

Thank you so much.

Edit: I would also like to say that I have access to and limited knowledge of phpMyAdmin. I can still see all my old phpbb users in the _pbb database. All my the wordpress users are in my _wp database. If I could just throw the users from one database to the other, would that force them as registered users on both wordpress and bbpress?

Hi all,

I’ve just installed BBpress and it seems that everthing works “ok”. I’m still surprised that I have to download a plugin for so many basic things… There are minimum things that could come along with the forum such as “smileys, avatars etc”… these are standards in all forums.

Anyway, I’m asking for help because I have tried to register a test account and it seems that no mail is being sent eventhough I get the “congragulation page” saying i will receive one within minutes. I’m having my forum hosted by Yahoo web host.

Does anyone have a clue where to start troubleshooting?

Thanks a lot for your help

[anti-sec]

@johnhiler Thank you , sorry but I hadn’t time to look properly at bbpress .

@_ck_ Be serene , I’m a white hat and infosecwriter . I’m here with my personal data , ua , ip , server and corporation. Really do u see bad intentions? Yes , I need to study 0.9.x sources to confirm a vulnerability and write an exploit ( if possible , code is really good ) , however I’m for full disclosure only after vendors report and fix.

So , don’t be nervous , and thank you for attention and support .

Regards.

I meant show code in the forums.

This is code, it's preformatted

so that I can     space things     out funny.

AdSense For bbPress seems to be broken with bb 1.0.1, but seeing as the plugin tells you to edit your theme, you’re probably going to be best off just putting in your codes into your theme template files.
