Our developers heavily customized bbpress. But now I can’t seem to figure out how to delete threads from the admin. Can someone please send me the steps for deleting a thread from the admin? Thanks.

According to Sam, bbPress supports unicode display names, not unicode usernames:

Not sure about future versions, but it sounds like version 1 isn’t gonna support unicode usernames…

thanks.

ps:

I created a ticket in trac yesterday about this topic, but it has been deleted today.

I don’t know why.

The reason the language does not match up is because .0.9.04 is not cookie compatible with WordPress 2.7.1. That’s why the keys are named differently.

To integrate those two versions, there are a couple solutions:

You might think this is another question about integrating bbPress with WordPress, but it’s not! I’m building a new website, and I would like to use bbPress as the support forums for it. The website has it’s own users table and stores the usernames as a varchar(255) and the passwords as varchar (255). All passwords are stored as sha1 hash. Basically what I want to do is to only have one place to login, that being on the main site, when the login is successful it’ll also set a cookie so the user may also use the bbPress forums. I would also like to use the avatar people upload to that site for the avatars on the forum. So here’s a few questions:

1. Is this even possible to set the cookie for bbPress from the login outside of bbPress?

2. Where should I start looking or poking?

3. For the avatars where should I start looking?

Thank you very much and if you need more information about my setup, please ask!!

Hello!

I have one question about the integration. I have already installed WP 2.7.1 and freshly installed bbpress 0.9.4

I have a little misunderstanding

Your step-by-step instructions says I need to change in bb-config.php the BB_SECRET_KEY and make it same as SECRET_KEY in my wp-config.php.

My problem is the WP 2.7.1 don’t have the SECRET_KEY It has SECURE_AUTH_KEY, AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY and NONCE_KEY

Which KEY I need to put in bb-config.php on a BB_SECRET_KEY?

Here is what I was trying to get some kind of multi-language support going:

Index: bb-includes/l10n.php

===================================================================

— bb-includes/l10n.php (revision 2040)

+++ bb-includes/l10n.php (working copy)

@@ -2,6 +2,9 @@

function get_locale() {

global $locale;

+ if (isset($_GET))

+ $locale=$_GET;

+

if (isset($locale))

return $locale;

Then I go to: http://bitfreedom.com/help/?lang=ja and it supplies that language. Great, but of course none of the links that bbPress generates has the ?lang=en_US option set. So I guess, is there a plugin for this?

I’m not looking for (but would be better than nothing):

Something that lets a user set their language, and changes the language when logged in.

I am looking for (ideal plugin):

Something that allows multi-language support by virtue of URL location and/or variable (as above). What language you are viewing makes more sense to depend on the URL, not on your login. Especially, since forums are also useful to the public when they don’t have a login to begin with.

Even just being able to set the language on a per-forum basis would be good, then I could just make different forums for different languages.

I guess I can modify my theme to include “language translation” links and keep my current hack.

Any ideas?

It’s possible because I was testing it on 1.0 that 1.0 automatically escapes the mysql values passed and that 0.9 does not. I can’t remember.

Try adding this before the $bbdb->query

$pmtitle=mysql_real_escape_string($pmtitle);

$message=mysql_real_escape_string($message);

and see if it helps or if it just add slashes to your text instead and breaks it.

It may also be a quote problem but I thought the bbpress pre/post text filters should encode quote or any other problematic characters.

Ever since adding _ck_’s security update, we’ve been having a lot of problems with undelivered PMs. Last night I tried to send a forum member a PM about five times, and he never received it. After sending, I would scroll down to check my Sent Messages and none of them were there.

I’m running bbPress 0.9.0.3 with Private Messaging 0.80.

I admit, I’m using the same tool (but I force all registration through WP so I run a plugin there). It’s actually used with Bad-Behavior and Akismet, since those were catching about 90% of the forum spam (and 99.99999% of the blog spam). Dunno what it is but you get more spammers able to make accounts via bbPress than WordPress.

[bedbugger]

My bbpress shares a database with wordpress.

This was fine in 0.9.0.1. Is it a problem now?

I checked the database, reset my password (which in fact still works perfectly on the blog side of things).

At least one user has logged in and posted to the bbpress forum, but I can’t.

But I can’t login. I registered a new account, and the password did not work.

[bedbugger]

In case it matters, my WP and bbpress installations shared a database.

Hey Guys,

I get hundreds of fake forum users who register on my forums here: http://reviewtrip.com/traveltalk

Even though I use the plugin Human Test, I still get these spam users. So I decided to create a plugin that hooks into StopForumSpam API to stop these guys.

You can download and find the instructions here:

http://reviewtrip.com/blog/stop-forum-spam-api-plugin-for-bbpress

Let me know what you guys think!

[chrishajer]

I don’t know of a theme, but there have been a few discussions about it.

I’m using the Anonymous Posting plugin by Aditya Naik (2.2_ck_mod_1.2.0) and its working great.

I would like to make the email field in the post form optional, and to insert a dummy address like <ip>@mydomain.tld if no email is given in the form.

I’ve looked for a filter to add this functionality but I’m a bit stuck.

Anyone who have a bit more experience with BBPress plugins mind giving me a pointer?

./Al

[johnhiler]

I think this is possible – someone posted a similar plugin here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done

Good luck!

[mcaddengroup]

I installed bbpress and went to activate it and got the following message on the plug-in page…

// Bail here if no key is set

if (!bb_get_option( 'akismet_key' ))

return;

I’m assuming this has something to do with my API key? No Idea.

By the way, what does “deep” integration involve? When I think of integration, I think of sharing logins between WordPress and bbPress, and possibly using the same template system so both sides share the same header and menu system.

On another side I solved the template issue by having a single “master” template system and CSS file that handled the page header, main menu, footer, and sidebar, leaving the specific bbPress and WordPress templates to only handle the stuff inside the main content box.

As for handling logins, I made the login button go to the bbPress login page (in all its themeable glory) no matter where you click it.

Hola

I check the server it is using php 4.4.8 and mysql 5.0.45 and i dont have integrated anything…jaja

I tried to installed in a empty directory.

there is another version of bbpress?

[chrishajer]

Can you make sure that the uploaded version is identical to the one here:

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/

Just pick your version.

If you haven’t gotten through the installation, and you didn’t do anything else yet, maybe you just have a bad copy. Why not check at least this file, or just download the package again and reupload it? That error does not exist in the files that are normally distributed.

[chrishajer]

What are you doing when you get that error? Are you integrated with WordPress? What version of bbPress did you install? Are you using a language other than the default?

Can you compare the version of bb-admin/functions.php to the default one for whatever version you’re using (to make sure the whole thing was uploaded properly)?

Do your secret keys have any weird characters in them (things that work properly in WordPress have created problems in bbPress before. Things like ‘ / > <.)

Can you post what you were trying to do and the whole error message?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

A functions.php should be like this:

<?php



function bb_nonce_ays( $action ) {

$title = __( 'bbPress Failure Notice' );

$html .= "t<div id='message' class='updated fade'>nt<p>" . wp_specialchars( bb_explain_nonce( $action ) ) . "</p>nt<p>";

if ( wp_get_referer() )

$html .= "" . __( 'Please try again.' ) . "";

$html .= "</p>nt</div>n";

$html .= "</body>n</html>";

bb_die( $html, $title );

}



?>

[wpitn2shape]

I haven’t edited anything, before even installing I get the unexpected t string error and this

bb-includes/functions.php on line 2256

It’s a blank line, here’s what’s above it:

function bb_nonce_ays( $action ) {

$title = __( ‘bbPress Failure Notice’ );

$html .= “t<div id=’message’ class=’updated fade’>nt<p>” . wp_specialchars( bb_explain_nonce( $action ) ) . “</p>nt<p>”;

if ( wp_get_referer() )

$html .= “” . __( ‘Please try again.’ ) . ““;

$html .= “</p>nt</div>n”;

$html .= “</body>n</html>”;

bb_die( $html, $title );

}

[chrisgoat]

Use one or the other for registration if you go to my site you can see how I have it setup, I prefer bbpress to Handel the registrations.

Works perfect for me, if you need some help let me know.

I’m displaying latest forum posts using RSS:

<?php require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');

wp_widget_rss_output('http://localhost/bbpress/rss.php', array('items' => 5, 'show_author' => 1, 'show_date' => 1));

?>

and the code above displays as follows:

admin on “Test topic” 13/03/2009 admin

Now, how can I exclude “admin on” part from the title?
