I have a thread going on over at the BuddyPress forums, ( http://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2027&replies=14#post-10855 ) I’m posting the summary here in case anyone can help.
“I’m running latest WPMU branch 2.7.1r1715, bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6, latest BuddyPress, r1324
I an on a shared hosting service with HeartInternet.co.uk
WPMU works fine on its own, bbPress works fine on its own, BuddyPress works fine, however:
When I update groups to “Enable discussion forum” the forum isn’t created.
Users are shared fine, cookies shared, even admin login to bbPress works properly.”
Having gone through everything (many times…), I ran the xml-rpc test scripts and get the following error:
-32300 >> transport error – could not open socket: 111 Connection refused
Has anyone got any ideas how to fix this?
Thx.
swaymedia I think the confusion is that sometimes you’ll see an empty topic when akismet flags the first post as spam, even if it’s a false positive. bbPress doesn’t delete the whole topic, just the post, which is a bad behavior unfortunately, needs a TRAC ticket.
I’ve un-spammed it since it was a false positive.
If you ever see a topic like that, tag it with “modlook”
(note to Chris, apparently we need to check the akismet admin section more often as I just found a whole bunch of false positives in there)
agitainment, that’s a great integration into your theme, really shows off the power of bbPress to blend in to an existing site. Maybe make the blue text, slightly darker for better contrast?
Ipstenu, thanks for your help.
Looks like the nonce field is very important to prevent spam posting.
Form submitting doens’t work if you specify a wrong nonce. Take a look at my searchings:
post_form’s _wponce, what is it?
http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/bbPress/_bb-includes—functions.bb-pluggable.php.html
http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php
You can create a nonce key with this funcion:
bb_create_nonce();
I will continue with the searching and testings.
What version of bbPress are you using?
Hey, everybody.
Agitainment.Comics ( http://agitainment.com/ics/ ) is an online graphic novel anthology dedicated to presenting the finest in comics entertainment from some of the best up-and-coming creators in the field.
My bbPress forum ( http://agitainment.com/ics/forum/ ) has been modified to match the old-school comic book format of my WordPress site. Have a look and let me know what you think.
Ex animo!

Felicidades, estupenda integración, ya me gustaría a mi hacer algo así 
In english: congratulations, very nice integration, I would like to do something similar
Hi I had a username and password that was created when I installed bbpress. For some or other reason this username/password is not accepted any more.
This is new install using latest alpha bbpress because I wanted to integrate it with buddypress.
I have a created a few forum topics but I can start all over.
The only solution I have is to delete the install and the tables and start all over again.
Can you please suggest how to proceed?
Thanks

You really get that many humans registering to spam on a smaller site?
One solution I use on a large site is to prevent any post with more than 2 urls.
Spammers typically cannot help but be morons and post several urls at once, normal humans rarely post more then two per post, and then not every post.
Not sending a password would be fairly easy by hacking the core, I’d have to look at it more carefully to see if it can be done via plugin without hacks. I believe it’s done in pluggable.php which means it’s replaceable, so that’s good.
Another method would be to use my Instant Password but NOT do the final step of logging them in and activating the account, but instead store a scrambled password and log the request, then manually authorizing it which would drop their chosen password hash into place. The important/hard part is not letting them request a new password to activate the account.
This might also be worth a shot but not sure if it’s useful against humans unless they work from the same IP pool:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-stop-forum-spam-api-plugin-block-fake-user-registrations
Due to the number of human spammers on my site, and to stop people banned (using Ban Plus) from re-registering with a new email address, I have been asked to create a plugin that does the following:
Delay sending of password email for 24 hours
Display a list of ‘waiting’ registrations in admin area with an approve override option.
My thoughts to do this are to get the http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/ plugin working for 1.6a (which many people would appreciate)
Then run a cron every 24 hours.
Has anyone got any suggestions about how to go about this? and point me anywhere to get ideas? Thanks.
Thank you, second question is it possible to link up (same logins) between WordPress and BBPress without installing the Alpha Version?
Was gonna suggest you visit the forums install sticky topic on buddypress.org but I see you’ve been there.
There is no need to post the question in several places at once. Just ask it once.
There are several problems with your question and the solution posed in that other topic but we can talk about it on this topic:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration
similar problem here. forum gets created, user names are shared, but when I try to create a topic it only comes back with the cryptic “an error occured”… – still searching for a solution.
Yes but that wouldn’t work from the WordPress side.
The correct way to do it directly would be to either use the topic table which has the topic_poster_name (not bb_posts) or to use a LEFT JOIN on the user table to fetch the user_login.
The LEFT JOIN will also get you the display name.
But there are several problems with your question.
First of all, you mean Display Name, not Nice Name, unless you are trying to use it in a way I don’t understand.
Secondly 0.9 doesn’t use Display Name.
Third,
“SELECT * FROM bb_posts WHERE topic_id=$topic_id AND post_id != $first_reply_id AND post_status=0 ORDER BY post_time DESC”
is a very inefficient query, there’s no LIMIT, you are using *
what exactly are you trying to find?
1. To explain how to do this, we need to know what versions you installed.
2. https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-count-plus/
3. Depends on your version, I think. For the 0.9.0.4 version there are avatar plugins:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/tags/avatar
https://bbpress.org/plugins/tags/avatars
For the alpha version, I think avatars are built in.
4. https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/ or https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/ if you want to store the images for the member as well.
5. Links are allowed by default. They’re auto-linked as well. Just type in http://www.example.com and it becomes a link (should work here.)
6. https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-topic-views/
You can find all the answers you need by searching or browsing the forums here or the plugin repository. https://bbpress.org/plugins/
I just started my new bbpress forum on my site, http://nyyankeesrumors.com, installed it, integrated it, and its up and running. But i’m having trouble extending it to get the plugins that i want to use.
My goals are this:
1. To have the recent topics appear on my homepage
2. Have a post count for users
3. Have an easy way to upload avatars
4. Have an easy way for users to include pictures in their forum posts
5. Allow links in forum posts
6. Show how many people viewed a forum
If you can help with this, please email me at bob [at] nyyankeesrumors [dot] com.
1. To add anything to the login page, just edit the login.php or login-form.php in your template folder. Since the login form is just a tiny space, you might just have a small text link there to a full disclaimer file.
2. Yes, with the 0.9.0.4 version and the latest WordPress (well, 2.7 anyway), you can use one of these two solutions:
http://superann.com/2009/02/26/wordpress-26-27-bbpress-09-cookie-integration-plugin/
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/
This allows the admin to post anything: maybe looking at it would be useful:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/
Also, if you’re just interested in allowing video, this works fine:
http://www.naden.de/blog/bbvideo-bbpress-video-plugin
Users don’t even need to paste the embed code, just the URL to the video.
1. What versions did you integrate? If you integrated 0.9.0.4 with WordPress 2.7.1 or similar, the logins won’t work. You need one of these two solutions:
http://superann.com/2009/02/26/wordpress-26-27-bbpress-09-cookie-integration-plugin/
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/
If your keymaster just lost permissions, you might be able to use this plugin to restore them.
