I just received this error on the install screen just after it tells you it cannot find a config file. I changed my old one to config.old.php (received error) then to bb-config.old.php. (received error)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function backpress_get_option() in /nfs/c03/h04/mnt/57391/domains/willclan4food.net/html/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php on line 412

I then just had a funny feeling so I just changed the file name back to bb-config.php and when I went to my forums it said I needed a update.. updated and all seems well.

This weeknd I plan on loading bbPress into some kind of IDE (probably eclipse) so I’m able to check this type of thing out a little further. I’ll update here if I can get them.

[Ganzuelo]

Upgrading now

[John James Jacoby]

Looking forward to this Sam. Thanks again for the fast updates. Will check it out tonight and report back asap.

Roles are only applied by bbPress to users who are missing roles in the DB completely. It doesn’t try to keep them in synch beyond the initial setting of the role. This is intentional as the alternative is far too restrictive in most cases.

See the blog post here:

Two new bbPress releases

These both contain security updates, so are recommended for all users.

I’m looking at trying this with http://www.theblog.ca/wordpress-case-insensitive-login but … yeah, can we sanitize for bbpress too?

Hello,

I’ve created the Ukrainian translation for bbpress, it’s here:

Ok… so far I am on the bbPress side.

Will bbPress be able to handle large forums?

[globalkris]

Wow. I wish I had known that a few hours ago.

[chrishajer]

.htaccess probably just needs to be 0644 permissions (-rw-r–r–). Did you set up permalinks with rewrite rules as described here? bbPress does not write the .htaccess file in the same way that WordPress does (i.e. when you change WordPress permalink settings, it changes or creates the .htaccess file for you, with the proper rules.)

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

Update: it looks like you are installing again? This page gives a 404:

http://www.greenfitnessworld.com/bbpress/

This page shows that installation is not complete:

Once your installation is complete, you’re going to want to go here to create the rules which you will paste into .htaccess: http://www.greenfitnessworld.com/forum/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php

bbPress and WP/WPMU use the same user database schema. The only thing that wouldn’t carry across is user levels.

[Ben L.]

1. Why in the world would you put bbPress inside of phpBB? Just pick one already!

2. bbPress allows you to move the bb-config.php file outside of your document root for security purposes just in case PHP does something weird.

[Ben L.]

WordPress themes are more closely related to bbPress themes. phpBB themes use a completely different system.

[apocalyptictomorrow]

chrishajer is right. Anyway, if you want to restrict registrations on both WordPress and bbPress you need to disable new registrations on each on them since at the moment their is no option to do both at once.

[Ben L.]

You’re on bbPress stable, which isn’t capable of sharing cookies with WordPress 2.7. If you want, you can install the alpha version of bbPress, but it’s not really a good idea on a production site…

Hi,

I’ve read a bunch on the boards and tried to follow all the steps I could find, but nothing seems to have any effect. WordPress is installed in the root of http://www.tiltmonster.com. bbPress is installed in http://www.tiltmonster.com/forums.

The databases are currently integrated, so that much is good. But if you login at the forums, you are not logged in at the main site, and vice versa. I added these lines to bb-config.php:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘www.tiltmonster.com’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘www.tiltmonster.com’;

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser_1726d05b40cf2f851e025f1a862c21fa’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass_1726d05b40cf2f851e025f1a862c21fa’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘www.tiltmonster.com’;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

When I check the cookies after logging in from the forums, the value for the MD5 hash is different than above. Also, the domain shows as .www.tiltmonster.com, with that period before the www.

One thing of note: there was no secret key listed in my wp-config.php file, so I generated one and inserted it, then copied that value to bb-config.php. Could that be where I went wrong?

Thank you.

[asymmetrik]

thanks sam. i’m able now to change user roles in bbpress which is great.

had to manually change user roles in wordpress from “none” to actual roles but everything else seems to be going smoothly.

changing a user’s role in bbpress doesn’t seem to effect the wordpress roles nor vise versa, (though i’m not sure this is expected yet).

also had to define the BB_NONCE_KEY to make logout work correctly (logged in via bbpress, logout via wordpress) and once it was defined it worked as expected.

either way, this is a great start. thanks again.

There’s no official documentation or codex yet.

A few people have done phpxref for bbpress but I find that kind of output fairly useless.

If you have access to linux shell you can do a grep to get a function list in the template include like so (or install the grep for windows)

grep -oe ^function.*) bb-includes/template-functions.php | sort > functions.txt

modifying that you can also get the filters/actions

grep -oe apply_.*) bb-includes/template-functions.php | sort > filters.txt

grep -oe do_.*) bb-includes/template-functions.php | sort > actions.txt

If you use the grep for windows, leave out the escapes (backslashes) or it won’t work.

Would it be easier to convert a WordPress theme into a bbPress theme?

If you guys where in my shoes… which one would you pick for a windows technical support forum?

[Seans0n]

I’m already familiar with writing plugins for WordPress but now I’m interested in writing a few plugins for bbPress. I’m trying to find a list of hooks/actions so I can get a better feel for what I have control over without altering the core files. Does such a thing exist? If not which php files should I be going through to find hooks/actions or are they all in different files?

Cheers

@JesperA: Have you tried to change the cookie keys from the default phrases? For instance a simple word?

I’m not at all sure if that’s the problem, but I didn’t get my integration working before I changed the keys to something completely different without special chars or whitespaces. Although I might have done something else as well in the same run.

[JesperA]

Yes, i tried that now but it doesnt work, the problem is that it starts with the folder i´ve set up in php.ini and adds the domain i wrote in the require statement, something like this: c:wampvhosthttp://www.domain.se/

I can use include instead so i get an error message when i log into the admin section, it works fine in the forum part but it breaks the logout function in bbpress
