You can make a view to filter just about any way you want. Just bypass the proprietary internal bbPress query system and make your own mysql query. Study the My Views plugin set to see how it’s done.

I may have to start doing it manually, then either adapt an existing plugin, or get my head around it myself at a later stage. They’re really banging on about it at work right now as a must have ASAP feature. It’s all about the monies!

[deadlyhifi]

The standard version of approve user registration does not work in V1. This may be breaking registration.

There’s an updated version of this plugin here: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/page/2/#post-3902

I’ve got V1.0.1 working great with that and human test. But if you’ve tested with the plugins disabled I can’t really offer anymore help. Sorry.

[deadlyhifi]

For anyone interested, I’ve got the Approve User Registration plugin working for V1. With the help of _ck_ of course (big thanks!). There’s more work to do on it, but for now it works…

You could do that with a third plugin for sure. I haven’t automated it because rebilling through Paypal is a pain… so I have someone manage it manually.

I think WordPress MU has a plugin that does something similar. Maybe you could adapt that?

[deadlyhifi]

Have you looked into automating the procedure at all with the PayPal recurring payments system? I was thinking about creating a separate ‘advanced’ roles table, which WP and bbP check to see if that user should have access to certain content.

This table would log the user ID and keep the callback from PayPal, and when their time was set to expire so they would lose access should they cancel their auto renew payments.

Is it possible you have lost the proper integration and WP is making one cookie name and bbPress is making the other?

[r-a-y]

This isn’t BuddyPress-specific.

You can accomplish changes for the title, meta keywords, and description with a bbPress plugin or custom bbPress code.

I answered this in your post on the BuddyPress forums:

I also can’t login to both installs simultaneously. I am using WordPress 2.9 rare and BBPress 1.0.1 version. Please help.

Hi there,

I’m using bbpress with buddypress. Its great but there is no meta data:

1. Page title is simply the name of the forum for evey topic in that forum
2. No meta description.
3. No meta keywords

I found this post http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/is-bbpress-seo-friendly where chrishajer and _ck_ show how to insert keywords in to a bbpress topic. But does anyone know how I can get this working for bbpress when it is integrated with buddypress?

It would be great to have topic title=page title, first post in topic=page description (perhaps limited to 255 characters) and tags=keywords (as above).

Does anyone know how this might be done?

Thanks a lot!

[johnhiler]

Here’s a plugin that allows you to restrict access – I use it together with a custom Role to run a premium pay-only forum for one of my sites:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

But we have to handle the Paypal subscriptions manually… it’s a bit of a pain, but worth it of course!

[Demen]

Here is what I have thus far. bbpress is integrated with WordPress, So login is synonymous on both. However, I would like users to only be able to register from WordPress. I know it is pretty easy to just change the register link on bbpress to that of the WordPress registration page, but I also want to drop bbpress’s capability to send an email on either “Registration Mail” & Approval Mail settings. It is no longer needed if the user registers on the WordPress page and both are pulling user info from the same table.

Does this matter if I change the link to the WordPress registration page,and the settings are still available? And if so how would I go about disabling this?

Following up – I can’t use the recount etc. tools on 1.0.1, but as it turns out, it’s a plugin conflict. With Polldaddy. So if you have that problem, check your plugins first!

I edited my first post:

try add / to your forum url in “settings > general > bbPress address (URL) “

[Ohna]

Hi Kar-l,

I think the 2 errors are the special chars “Następna” .

or if this is “href” try add / to your forum url in “settings > general > bbPress address (URL) “

[Kar-l]

A funtion on a homepage of a blog

<?php bb_latest_topics_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="nav">', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>

generates errorous output. On page 2 (and followings) it outputs:

<div class="nav"><a class="prev page-numbers" href="" title="Poprzednia strona">&laquo; Poprzednia</a><a class="page-numbers" href="" title="Page 1">1</a><span class="page-numbers current" title="Page 2">2</span><a class="page-numbers" href="/page/3" title="Page 3">3</a><a class="page-numbers" href="/page/4" title="Page 4">4</a><a class="next page-numbers" href="/page/3" title="Następna strona">Następna &raquo;</a></div>

The problem I can see is href=””

Is there any solution to this?

bbPress used: 1.01

[bb-gian]

Is there a way to dispaly the Author of a topic in the Latest Discussions list and in the Topics list?

I mean, every other forum got this feature, and I think that viewing the Author of a Topic in the list is very useful and needed for a forum, as you may want to know WHO posted that Topic, without having to click on it to see who’s the first post. Right?

Still, I didn’t find this feature enabled on any bbPress forum.

For me it’s just so weird.

So, is that a way to get the template code?

Thanks.

[grassrootspa]

I love the Facebook Connect idea. How about this too: An “IntenseDebate Connect” option as well (user can signin using their IntenseDebate User name and password.

Since Automattic are behind both IntenseDebate and bbPress I’m guessing it would be easier to implement than Facebook Connect.

[grassrootspa]

So the solution is replacing the theme’s “topic-tag.php” with kakumei’s? That’s it?

Ohna, you using one of these themes? (http://www.refueled.net/free-bbpress-themes/)

[DKB]

Hi, when i click on a username it says:

“Username not found. Go back to xxxx/forum”

I have bbPress 1.01 and wordpress 2.8

How can i solve this? Thanks in advance

[sanraj]

No not like that, What I want to do is , I am having one app for that app I am using bbpress forum. I want to give link from my app to this forum with some encrypted params and using that I want to login in forum application.

I just want to avoid second login in bbpress forum.

Is there any plugin which I can use for AutoLogin?

[citizenkeith]

Update: I disabled bbPress Attachments and all the other plugins were able to be activated.

I’m assuming the bbPress Attachments was being “bad”. Anything else I can test to confirm that?

I didn’t have these problems when I was running .9, but when I moved to Media Temple from Dreamhost I upgraded to 1.0 RC1. I probably shouldn’t have done the upgrade at the same time.

This is the only similar error report I can find… here was a potentially helpful reply:

Last time that happened to me, it was “plugins go wild” and there were ridiculous amounts of extra entries in my meta tables in the DB. I have also seen this with bad plugins in general for whatever reason. It could also come from a bad plugin on the WP side of things if you have integration. First place I would check would be the user and site meta tables for both bbPress and WP.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fatal-error-allowed-memory-size

Curious how your meta tables look… and if they have extra entries, which plugin is being “bad”!
