It’s called ‘bbpress-latest-discussion-for-wp’ . The only file in the zip is ‘BBpress.php’. Hmm. I’m reluctant to re-install it as it took me ages to get working in the first place! >.<

I’ve updated the plugin to cope with forums using blocked and inactive users as well.

function inactive_to_member() {

$userID = bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' );

$user_obj = new BP_User( $userID );

$user = bb_get_user( bb_get_user_id( $userID ) );

if(empty($user->capabilities)) {

$user_obj->set_role('member');

}

}

add_action ('bb_head', 'inactive_to_member', 5, 0);

The only flaw I can find with this plugin is that it won’t update the user’s role until the next time the user refreshes the page. I guess it could be fixed with a simple redirect/refresh in the plugin however.

I followed the video tutorial posted in this forum and when I completed Step 3 it said everything had been created, but that the forum had failed to be installed. Then I deleted the config.php file and tried to install bbPress again, but this time it wouldn’t let me get past Step 1. When I tried to move on to Step 2 the page timed out and said Firefox could tell that some process would continue for forever. So I checked the database and realized all the files from before were there, so I deleted all the ones involving bbPress and then tried to run the installation again. I do Step 1 fine, and then I fill out all of Step 2 just fine, and when I click to move on to Step 3, it tells me that everything has been set up correctly and is linked (WordPress and bbPress sharing the same users). But then when I get to Step 3, at the top it says that I skipped Step 2.

I that point I thought that I might as well just go ahead and finish installing bbPress, even if the users aren’t linked, and it let me, and told me everything had been installed correctly. But the forum wasn’t set up and I checked the database and nothing had been added.

I’ve tried reinstalling bbPress on the server, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trac schedules are meaningless. It’s just arbitrary dates picked a long time ago.

There is only one person actively working on 1.0 at this time so progress is slow.

Do not plan on any schedule for production use and do not use alpha on live sites.

[theburningbiscuit]

You need to use the Alpha version.

Nice little tutorial. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast

The downside would be that one user could corrupt your bbpress install with tons of inappropriate tags… but there’s no spam check on tags (that I’m aware of).

I want to install bbPress and I am currently using WP2.7

Should I install the latest stable version (Brubeck) version 0.9.0.3,

or,

the latest test build of the unstable version of bbPress is 1.0-Alpha-4?

[chrishajer]

Is the WordPress site online somewhere, where these bbPress comments are being sent? If you did integrate a newer version of WordPress (2.6 or newer) with bbPress 0.9.0.2, that is the problem. There are significant changes between version 2.5.* and 2.6.* WordPress that make integration with specific versions of bbPress important:

First post here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

WordPress 2.6 came out July 15, 2008<a/>.

[chrishajer]

Sounds like you are using bbSync then, to create comments at WordPress when someone posts to the bbPress forum? I didn’t know bbSync worked like that, but it’s possible. So it sounds like someone posts in the forum, somehow that gets into WordPress, you get an email to moderate the comment, but you can’t log in to your WordPress admin panel?

What version bbPress and WordPress are you using? It sounds like you have incompatible version installed and your WordPress admin login no longer works due to integration? What versions did you install? Sounds like bbPress 0.9.0.2 – how about WordPress version?

I am trying to embed some javascript on my BBpress forum using this code from my WordPressblog.

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/js/prototype.js”></script>

What is the equivalent of <?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?> in BBpress?

[fatninja]

I noticed at the Trac roadmap page

http://trac.bbpress.org/roadmap

That it states the anticipated release date of bbPress 1.0 is in 2 weeks.

However, the 1.0-BETA release states that it’s 5 months behind schedule.

So would it be correct to assume that the 1.0 release date is approx 5.5 months away? Meaning, sometime in the summer of 2009 – I can expect the 1.0 code base to be released.

WordPress- They say [Please Moderate]. Oh boy, am I confused. I have both folders. WP & bb press. When somebody posts to my forum, I get email from WordPress to please moderate. When I log in to admin, it says bbpress 0.9.0.2, but I cannot perform any functions from that page. When I answer email notices from WordPress, it will not accept a WordPress password. Boy, am I confused. The blog is bbpress but the emails come from WordPress.

[chrishajer]

Are you talking about bbPress or WordPress? There is no email notification of comments in bbPress unless you set it up for email notification of your favorites. Did you do that, or are you talking about WordPress?

It sounds like you’re talking about bbPress and WordPress, but they’re separate, and I can’t even see where you have WordPress installed?

Are the emails coming from bbPress or WordPress, and what is the URL for moderation?

[dragly]

I was in need of a quickfix for the user-role problem, so I wrote a really ugly plugin for it.

Whenever the page is shown, it checks whether or not the user is able to “write_post”. If not, it sets the user role to “member”.

IMPORTANT: This means the plugin won’t be usable for all of you who are in the need of setting users as ‘inactive’ or ‘blocked’! In my case, I probably won’t need ‘inactive’ or ‘blocked’ users before bbPress 1.0 is released.

Download plugin

Here is the code for the plugin if you would like to check it out before download. And by the way, I’m not really used to writing plugins for bbPress yet, so if I’ve made any really bad flaws (especially on the security-side) please sort me out.

function inactive_to_member() {

$userID = bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' );

$user_obj = new BP_User( $userID );

if(!bb_current_user_can('write_post')) {

$user_obj->set_role('member');

}

}

add_action ('bb_head', 'inactive_to_member', 5, 0);

I hope this might help some of you out.

Ok- (Admin page, plug-ins says Akismet is off) First thing I need to know how to do is administer the page. Seems to me, doesn’t matter so much which version I am running just now. When I get an email notice of a comment, click the link to the page, am asked for User ID and Password, get incorrect Password message, change password, copy-paste new password or type new password, it will not accept. And I can’t figure out how to admin the blog from the bbpress page. How do I admin the forum?

[chrishajer]

So, what is your next question? Ask one question about your bbPress installation and we’ll work on that.

If you would like to prevent spammer registrations, I would install the Human Test plugin by _ck_:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/

If you would like to install Bad Behaviour, there was a How To posted a while back:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bad-behavior-for-bbpress-howto

And using the built in Akismet (plugin may need to be activated in your installation) will help as well.

I ran this script perfectly. I was running phpbb3 3.0.3 I think, with phpbb-se0 advanced installed. Worked perfect, thanks!

Looks like you resolved these already, eh?

Immelody!!!! thank you so much!

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

The latest SVN seems to fix this, though it throws a new error.

#1016 has been opened.

[theoldgringo]

Thanks.

How would I reset bbpress to the non-integrated configuration?

[Immelody]

Ganzuelo, go to your header.php. Scroll down to around line 95. Under the div id nav, you’ll see a lot of links. Just plug your URLs in there, and change the text to whatever you want it to be.

[Ganzuelo]

Hey Immelody nice work! How do you manually add the links in the bbpress theme?

[kanigerlandis]

[Immelody]

lolos, I apologize for taking so long to get back. You can download the themes together at http://www.asparenting.com/downloads/ASPtheme.zip . You’ll want to go into header.php in the bbpress template and manually edit the page links.

Honestly, it took me going through lots of different themes before coming to this one. I chose two themes from the same creator because generally, they’ll follow the same code. Then I had to figure out what was what. Such as with these themes, there was originally two sidebars for the wordpress theme, so I had to consolidate.

BTW, I haven’t figured out what to do about the granny font size. For now, I’m going to keep it the way it is. I’m not able to reproduce the error even when I granny size.
