Hello, would any of the more experienced folks on this forum please take a look at bbRating plugin http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-ratings/ and the problems we’ve come across lately. This plugin’s support seems to be discontinued so you’re are only chance. Any help/suggestions on behalf of all who asked would be much appreciated.

Many thanks!

Many many thanks for this post, exactly what I was looking for, and a nice substitute for some weighty bbPress documentation in the meantime.

That doesn’t sound right. You can cram pretty much whatever you want into whatever space you have.

Have you looked at some of the other themes that are available?

figured this out!

but can’t get the damn code to post right. if anyone is interested let me know how to post a code snipplet without the forum eating it… it outputs like this:

*post title*

Posted by: *user* in *forum*.

@ck – when i try to call the get_forum_name in a wordpress widget it doesnt work. i believe because this is a bbpress function? How would I pull the forum name without using this funtion?

[martenk]

Did a workaround which seems to work for every 5th new member. (How can that even be possible?) Using the md5-plugin (uh oh) for bb-press and rerouting all logins through WordPress login system. This means users don’t get gallery access upon registration but rather the first time they log in…. which makes no difference in reality…

But then again, it only works for every fifth user… or something like that… randomish. The alternative would be to bypass validation in Gallery2 and just copy the user info regardless. But that’s a lot of work…

You don’t.

WP of 2.5 means you use BB .9 so I assume 2.4 is the same. They changed a lot between 2.5 and 2.7 with logins.

Sorry.

Hi,

I’ve been using bbpress for a good month now and it’s served is purpose quite decently so far.

Yet there’s several occasions where I just wish the forum would put up a notice at the bottom of a post if anyone edited it. Now moderators (or just anyone) can edit a post without anyone knowing their post has been edited, making it look like they wrote it exactly that way, while a moderator could just as well have changed something.

A function that always puts up a notice at the bottom of the post when a post has been edited, by anyone, would allow me to:

1) Increase the time in which people can edit their post

2) Prevent conflicts because of changed content

3) Keep track of things that have been changed.

Very basic functionality, but quite essential for any forum, in my opinion.

I wanted to use absolute time instead of relative also, but I noticed the UTC offset doesn’t have any effect on any timestamps. Is this still the only solution or have there been any new workarounds invented? I’m using bbPress 0.9.0.2 and WordPress 2.5.1

Hi guys, for some reason my Roaccutane forum is not being indexed as thoroughly as my main wordpress site. To cut a long story short, some pages are being indexed but they are way down the rankings.

To try and rectify this I added a BBpress map and altered some keywords around 3 months ago – i’m also using permalinks, but still no luck.

Can anyone suggest any other tips to get more coverage to the forums?

Thanks

Come on, there has to be a way to do this!

It worked fine for me with the current stable release, but the login was broken, so I installed the unstable. The login started working, but wp_head() stopped.

bb-config.php:

include('../wp-config.php');



/**

* The base configurations of bbPress.

*

* This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix,

* Secret Keys and bbPress Language. You can get the MySQL settings from your

* web host.

*

* This file is used by the installer during installation.

*

* @package bbPress

*/



// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //

/** The name of the database for bbPress */

define('BBDB_NAME', 'bbpress');

bb-templateskakumeifront-page.php:

<?php get_header(); ?>

... page ...

<?php get_footer(); ?>

bump?

I’ve tried the last few versions, and always get the following errors:

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/wordpress/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 377 along with:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) etc.

This happens between doing an upgrade or a clean install, no plugins. Any ideas?

[martenk]

Apparently md5 hash isn’t correct either. What I need is to make the bbpress password-hash into the WordPress 2.5 standard.

I.e. how to make bbpress 1.0 WordPress 2.4 (Pre 2.5) compatible?

[martenk]

Apparently the problem isn’t really the registration method but rather the password encryption.

It seems the md5-insecurity plugin doesn’t work with BBPress 1.0? Does anyone have a fix for that?

[martenk]

I am working on a site where I’m integrating wp, bbpress and Gallery2. The integration between WP and BBPress is seamless (WP 2.7 and BBPress 1.0 Alpha6) as is the integration between WordPress and Gallery2. The problem is that when people register in BBPress they can’t access Gallery2…

Does anyone have a solution for this? Can bbpress be forced to call the wordpress registration-script instead of the normal bbpress registration script when registering. I wan’t the extra bells and whistles the bb-press installation allows for through plugins so rerouting and forcing users to register through the wp interface doesn’t really appeal to me…

[tomwi]

right now I am using:

echo "<li><a>topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a>Posted by: <a>topic_poster."'>".$result->topic_poster_name."</a> in </li>";

[tomwi]

since im calling it in wordpress that function doesnt exist.

[tomwi]

thank you all for your replies!

Hello, my name is Ram.

I installed the Detective’s Modified Private Messaging for Personal Messaging feature in my bbpress installation. Everything works fine on my local (XAMPP on Windows XP) computer. But, when installed the same on a live bluehost server, I get the following message when I access the pm.php file:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function pm_delete() in pm.php on line 10

Everything works fine, except the Personal Messaging system.

Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue?

Thanks in advance.

-Ram.

[martenk]

Started running bbpress 1.0-Alpha6 recently on a productionsite… Probably a bad idea but everything seems to work… A few plugins that don’t work but other than that it’s all good!

[Arnan de Gans]

any sight on when bbpress will support it? 1.0 does, i read. when is it expected? withing a few weeks? months? and are we then speaking 2 or 6 months?

thanks in advance!

I can’t add links in posts properly

When I try to add a link I do it like that:

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/">My Site</a>

but the link generated by bbPress in the post isnt linking to

http://www.mysite.com/

but to

http://www.mysite.com/“

[joshposh]

Oh, OK.

I’m using the Structure theme but I just realized (by seeing it in it’s native state at http://bbshowcase.org/forums/?bbtheme=bbpress-structure) that the problem with missing spaces between the numbers seems to be something I screwed since it works in the original.
