Please create a Trac ticket. I know what is wrong here, we just need to deal with it better. http://trac.bbpress.org

When you installed bbpress, what folder did you put all the files in? Your server’s acting like nothing was uploaded to ‘forum’

[geekjon]

I’m noticing a time discrepancy between the post time on the forums and the post time (pubdate) on the RSS feed. I have the time offset set to -6 in the bbPress settings, but it appears that the feed date is being offset by another -6 hours for a total of -12 offset from GMT.

Any ideas how to fix this?

[Sam Bauers]

So, the nightly builds seem to be stuck on an old version!!!

You can get the latest trunk from here (zip link at the bottom):

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk

You will have to manually add BackPress files from here into a directory at bb-includes/backpress (zip link an the bottom):

http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/trunk/includes

Even though that error is there, if you change their role from “Inactive” to “Member” the error will go away and the user will have member access.

I can’t change any role, whenever I go to the profile page I have a php error. Maybe using phpmyadmin but this is a pain.

wordpressfan I tried bbpress 1.0 alpha 4 also. I still had install errors Congrats.

@ wordpressfan Congrats for getting it going. I tried bbpress 1.0-alpha 4 and still was having issues getting the install to work.

Forum isn’t dead, just high maintenance for right now.

If you are going to modify that, it’s best to make a new template.

The URL on the settings page to BB press is supposed to point to your forum, NOT your blog. If you want a link to your blog, you should edit your theme templates.

As to how to fix. Do you have access to the SQL end of things? Like phpMyAdmin? Go into your BBpress Database and in the bb_meta table, find the meta key uri. Change that back to your blog URL (http://www.ins-ide.org/forum)

Some thoughts on the WordPress community, themes, and the GPL

http://spectacu.la/wordpressorg-pull-200-gpl-themes/

http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2008/12/17/matt-the-gpl-and-more/

There’s a two hour interview there with Matt Mullenweg. He discusses premium themes, the GPL, WordPress, BuddyPress and even bbPress (although he seemed somewhat out of touch with bbPress.)

I should have said that the bulk of the discussion was 2 weeks ago

[nextical]

Well.. at the moment, I’m thinking why there isn’t any link to my WordPress ‘Index/Home’ site.. there only link to my bbpress home. So, I was just trying to make a link to my WP Home by changing the URL of the forum in the Setting page.

From ‘www.ins-ide.org/forum’ being ‘www.ins-ide.org’

but suddenly all the link missing the target because of the missing path. “/forum” in the URL.

Well I got Back.. and change the URL again.. but it still doesn’t work.

The only option I think about is changing the URL line by FTP/Cpanel. But again, I don’t know what file I need to access.

Anyone can help me?

[Ganzuelo]

I have WP and bbpress (lastest release) When I click on Admin while coming from WP I cannot access. I click on the admin link and it goes nowhere.,. I then log out and then back in and it works (while in bbpress side)

[ganzua]

I sum up to the toll; recent registered users through wordpress can’t post in the forum. The “add new” link doesn’t appear whenever one of them logs in.

I tried to manually assign roles but whenever I go to the profile page I get a function error there. Forum death

[John James Jacoby]

Where is this discussion taking place? I’m always game for a good discussion!

[chrishajer]

bbPress is GPL v2, so they can’t *require* you to display it. If you haven’t been watching, there’s a huge discussion going on regarding WordPress and premium themes, the GPL, etc.

@the both of yous

Sambauers is the main programmer responsible for updating and maintaining bbPress, the rest of us seem to serve more as bug testers and trac reporters. You’re both correct to assume that the goal is to have it work both ways, with a registration at one platform to assign a role to the other.

@globalkris

You’re lucky, I haven’t been able to get either/or to automatically tell the other what roles to assign, despite my efforts. To be honest, it can’t be happening anywhere on the WordPress side of things, because WordPress has no idea that bbPress exists. It’s just doing what it always did. bbPress needs to look for capabilities, and assign them according to the WordPress role map provided it has been set.

It seems like a good idea to have the role-map setup as part of the installation process, if choosing to integrate that is.

The other side of this, which I’ve said before in different topics, is that automated integration of bbPress is difficult to predict, because there are several configurations that anyone could or would use, and it isn’t just WordPress that bbPress is intended to work with. There’s BuddyPress too, which is a whole other assortment of configurations. You can see how having bbPress automatically assign a role to a user that doesn’t have a role at all can be a strange situation, since there are times where WP users might not have roles either. There are about 250 different types of arrangements that users can have that must be trapped when I think about it, considering registrations on either side, the role map, and what the results of each situation would be.

Maybe when they register through WordPress, I don’t want them automatically given access to the forums, or vice versa. Even though they are integrated, maybe I don’t want them to have a role at all. What if WordPress registrations are closed but bbPress ones are open? I mean when you think of all of the possibilities, it’s a wonder/miracle that it works at all. Ha!

Long story short, Sam is working really hard on getting this integration up and running for us, and I suspect there will be an alpha6 coming shortly.

[calman]

Thank you so much guys! .. that’s a great help on my very first question. *thumbs up*

[Famous]

how? Where? I think I have everthing setup okay, but everyones account on the bbpress side states:

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /home/user/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2009

and shows the user as inactive??? Help, please.

[globalkris]

Well, glad to see I’m not the only one with the problem at least. Hopefully someone has a solution for us… anyone?

[Ganzuelo]

is this fixed yet?

[_ck_]

It’s encouraged but not required.

[tiago-s]

It’s open source, you can remove it. (I think?)

Still, there are lots of places you can’t put such a statement in. It’s polite to talk about those whose work you benefited from. An about page on your blog/forum with a link would be enough. Or maybe somewhere near where you put your advertising, a link with the logo of bbpress. Unitrusive and can even be pretty if you make a nice banner.
