That’s a good idea, I haven’t looked at the release candidates for BBpress… learned long ago to let other people get messy on the bleeding edge of technology

What’s the chance that the data format will change when the real version 1 is release, anyone?

[johnhiler]

What version of bbPress are you using?

[pfihn]

Exactly what I thought, so I did that twice with everything checked before posting. Any other ideas?

[johnhiler]

I can’t find the schema online either… but it looks like BBXF is now supported by bbPress v 1.

If you have a working install of the bbPress alpha or RC1, you could export your data from there and figure out the schema from the export?

[esemar]

Hi,

What exactly IS the BBXF format? I can’t find a schema for it and I would like to convert over a decade of forum data from a proprietary system on learnjazzpiano.com into a format that can be imported into bbpress.

Thanks!

Okay, I’ve installed WP 2.8 (beta1) and bbPress RC1. It appears to be integrated together. Except the obvious: my wordpress site has no link for my visitors to click on to go to the bbPress forum. Should I create a “page” which (somehow?) redirects to the bbPress forum? i.e. so that it appears in the middle column of my WP theme?

Thanks,

~Andrew~

If you deleted the topic that was tagged with bbPress (it’s the default first post/first topic I believe) then you just need to recount. There is an option there something like “Delete tags with no topics.” If you go through the recount, just check them all and the phantom tag should go away.

[jonkristian]

@mortiferus, yes that worked for me, however you’d still need:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.domain.org’);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

in wp-config.php

AFAIK.

I have a hot tag that appeared at install that persists. The tag is “bbPress” and shares the first line of the Hot Tags with the “legitimate” first tag. There are no documents with this tag and recount has been performed with all options checked. Where is this coming from?

[dbosch]

bbpress integration plugin , cant find it. bbpress search comes up with wordpress integration plugin which isnt the same plugin. anyone has link ?

[persnickety]

ok..thanks..^__^

// I tried posting this to my original thread “Missing form field ‘user database password’ during installation” but your system said the topic had been closed (?). Nor could I edit my original posting//

Further…after I tried to proceed, it showed an error (that it could not connect to the database…which you’d expect given that it didn’t have the password). However, after going back to the step 2 page, it showed a condensed version of the page, with tick marks in the various check boxes – the only way to see the data I had entered before was to untick each box and then put the tick back into each.

Original posting from other thread:

Hi,

I am installing the RC of bbpress and got to near the bottom of step 2, where I need to enter the wordpress database information (it is in a separate database). There is no field on the form to fill in the ‘User database password’ (under the ‘Separate user database settings’ banner).

It sounds like this similar issue reported with the Subscribe top Topic plugin?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/page/3/#post-3436

Try disabling that plugin, and see if the problem goes away?

[theparallaxview]

I’m seeing a similar issue to dmbware. Install looks ok until I paste the code in from the plug-in and then I can’t log into WPMU. I remove the code from wp-config and I’m OK. Can’t log into bbpress though and it says my password for admin can’t be reset.

When I add a post on creatingfame.com/members/forum the post shows up fine but when I submit a reply to the post I get a page with this message:

Scott any news on a complete fix and or directions on fixing the cookie problem with WPMU and BBPRESS

[TrishaM]

Hi Chris – actually I have tried emailing him, twice, and got no response at all. I notice that he hasn’t posted on the bbPress forum for around 8 months or so. Perhaps he has lost interest? Or perhaps my email just got blocked – who knows? I’m going to try leaving a comment on his site. I would have sworn I already did this once (maybe I dreamed it?) but I don’t see it there so I’ll give it another go, or a first go, whichever.

Thanks…….

[Florian]

Thanks, but unfortunately that did not help. I still can’t access the bbPress admin area. Any more suggestions?

[mortiferus]

jonkristian, Did that work for you? I am having the same issue, and adding the line did not do it for me.

[johnhiler]

1. Yup! There should be two sticky links at the bottom of the page… they’re described here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-sticky-post#post-21295

2. There’s no such plugin for sticky voting that I know of… what did you have in mind?

[snapplethomas]

Hi! I’m just getting my feet wet with bbPress. Two quick questions:

1- Is it possible for a forum administrator to upgrade a post by another user to a “sticky post”?

2- Is there a function/plug in where users can vote to make a post a sticky post?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

FWIW, _ck_’s plugins have always been ‘at your peril’ with the 1.0 revs.

Have you tried RC1 instead of a6?

[John James Jacoby]

mcmc, the title of your topic says bbPress and WPMU, but your question is about BuddyPress.

If you’ve got a BP question, head on over to buddypress.org and ask us over there.

[chrishajer]

Also, please post a link to your site. It sounds like you have a problem with the permalink setup though.
