Lester Chan has written a really good plugin along these lines for WordPress:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-email/

It’s GPL, so maybe it’s something that could be adapted for bbPress?

[mithrandir321]

I can see there’s no plugin like that yet, however can anybody just hint as to what backpress functions I can use in order to hardcode this myself? I’m learning the php + bbpress stuff quite fast so I’d give it a whirl with a little help.

Think it may come useful for others as well.

hey ck

that suggestion didn’t make sense to me, since as i mentioned in my last post, the errors refer to my WordPress users table, not bbPress. still, after i worked out how i could change table names without using a query, i did as you said. the result was the same errors i got in my original post.

however as i now knew how to change table names, what Chris had said earlier suggested that i should try adding the database name as a table prefix to my WP users table. i did that, and when i tried to log in, one of the errors was gone. however the other error that came up was that bbPress was now looking for my WP usermeta table. so again i added the database name as a prefix to that and i was in!

unfortunately, while i got in with admin access, i no longer had access to the settings, so i couldn’t delete the database prefix to the tables.

i’ve decided that this is becoming such a mishmash that i’m going to uninstall bbPress and reinstall it again, trying to avoid the error with the database prefix. in any case, thanks to both of you and Chris for your help, i learnt some handy things in the process!

Just upgrade from bbpress 0.8 to bbPress 1.0-alpha-2 released.

database upgrade is successful. however, found an issue about tag removal.

user can add tags, however, as an admin, if I want to remove tags, it forward to a webpage:

like:

http://www.travelsuperlink.com/forum/tag-remove.php?tag=387&user=20350&_wpnonce=15badfc986

error message is:

Your attempt to remove this tag from this topic has failed.

Please try again.

I searched in the forum and found one similar post, but no answer yet. any idea? thanks.

[travelsuperlink]

thanks, _ck_, I tried do_actiion, but still no luck.

as you suggested, I move this post to the thread you recommend.

[travelsuperlink]

as _ck_ suggested, I move my issue here:

Just upgrade bbpress to 1.0 version, after active the bbpress smilies plugin I found an issue for previous post-form.php (previously I am using v0.8 and that plugin works.

The issue is at post-form.php, in my custom template directory.

<label for=”post_content”><?php _e(‘Post:’); ?>

<?php do_action(‘bb_grins’); ?>

<textarea name=”post_content” cols=”50″ rows=”8″ id=”post_content” tabindex=”3″>

<?php bb_quote_message(); ?>

</textarea>

</label>

Clearly <?php do_action(‘bb_grins’); ?> does not work anymore, because at the top of post form user can not see the smilies as before.

any idea? thanks.

[_ck_]

There is no bb_do_action, only do_action.

bb_do_action has been removed.

Are you talking about the plugin created in this thread:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/emoticons-for-bbpress

Why not post your question there, where it will actually be relevant?

[travelsuperlink]

Just upgrade bbpress to 1.0 version, after active the bbpress smilies plugin I found an issue for previous post-form.php

<?php bb_do_action(‘bb_grins’); ?> does not work anymore. in another word, at the top of post form, user can not see the smilies which they can click on to select.

any idea? thanks.

If you have a problem with a specific plugin, it is best to ask the question on the plugin’s page so the author, and other people with the same problem, can find it easily.

New bbPress users typically encounter the same problems and ask the same questions over and over again – you should review all the posts on the plugin’s page in the “extend” section for common problems/answers.

Please do not start new topics about a specific plugin in the general forum to try to grab immediate attention.

Attention Plugin Authors

If you are a plugin author, please check your plugin page periodically. Each Plugin has it’s own RSS feed which you can put into a feedreader (or Yahoo Alerts can email you when a custom feed url changes) to track new questions. If you do not intend to support your plugin any further, please let users know by either stating so in the readme.txt or posting on your plugin’s page.

[_ck_]

Ask this on the bbSync plugin page.

[_ck_]

You can make bbPress look like WordPress and simply be installed at /forums/ on your website. But bbPress will never be a plugin, it’s way too complex for that and has it’s own structure.

Because bbPress 1.0 uses BackPress (parts of WordPress), when WordPress starts to use the same common core, it will one day be far easier to integrate the two. But that day is at least a year away.

[AminSanaei]

Bbpress is very good forum for my wordpress. But I want that it be a plugin and when I click on name of forum, it open in my wordpress theme; not on other address. Can you try to create that? Thank you.

[johnhiler]

Yah it just happened to me as well. It’s definitely a broad issue… I wonder if anyone from bbPress reads these forums regularly?

[johnhiler]

Ah neat… it kinda sounds like something that could power the Slashdot frontpage?

[_ck_]

Yes I’ve observed the same problem.

At first I though it was db sync, since Automattic uses three different datacenters with sync’ed mysql.

But now I think instead it’s bad no-caching headers of some kind. bbPress sends nocache headers to prevent the old page from reloading after a post. It’s possible that’s been broken somehow.

[_ck_]

One plugin that I’ve been meaning to create for quite some time is a “promote to front page” tool where admin can mark a topic for special promotion, with their own custom summary that superceeds the title and first post and replaces (or suppliments) the Latest Discussions on the front page with the list. The list could then be re-ordered even further, independent of topic time.

I think such a plugin would change how bbPress is used in a positive way. Just can’t decide how to best interface it with how topics work and how to give the admin full access to existing formatting tools and other plugins within the summaries. It would probably be mostly like Wiki Post.

[_ck_]

Change the bbpress tables prefixs to bb_ via phpmyadmin and then fix the prefix setting in bb-config.php

[travelsuperlink]

Yes, what I mentioned above is the reason to cause upgrade fail. I update the user_nicename with user_loginname, which is unique key, and the upgrade goes ok.

[travelsuperlink]

I tried to understand the new database structure by checking the upgrade-schema.php. I found one thing could cause problem:

$bb_queries = “CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS $bbdb->users (

ID bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,

user_login varchar(60) NOT NULL default ”,

user_pass varchar(64) NOT NULL default ”,

user_nicename varchar(50) NOT NULL default ”,

user_email varchar(100) NOT NULL default ”,

user_url varchar(100) NOT NULL default ”,

user_registered datetime NOT NULL default ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’,

user_status int(11) NOT NULL default 0,

display_name varchar(250) NOT NULL default ”,

PRIMARY KEY (ID),

UNIQUE KEY user_login (user_login),

UNIQUE KEY user_nicename (user_nicename)

);”;

my old database table bb_users the user_nicename does not have unique key on it, but now upgrade try to setup as unique key. will it be the reason for the upgrade timeout?

Unfortunately for my cpanel host I could not access the mysql log, but please help me solve this. any inputs are welcome.

thanks.

[travelsuperlink]

I follow the steps. After extract the new bbpress files and rename the config.php (v0. to bb-config.php, I could see all my previous posts.

However, when I login to the Admin, it displays:

It looks like your database is out-of-date.

You can update it here.

After click the Upgrade Database button, after a few seconds, the http://www.travelsuperlink.com/forum/bb-admin/upgrade.php page just display a blank webpage (timeout?)

I am stuck here, please help.

[cfreview]

I guess what I essentially want is many authors many commenters, but I’m not ready for each to have their own blog. I like the idea of buddypress, but that would be something to consider in the future.

I guess I’m almost looking to create something in the style of fark.

[nicknichols]

Greetings…after becoming disenchanted with phpBB our science forum is looking for a new home. But we need to be able to upload large documents, spreadsheets, PPTs, etc. for each other to view. If we can do the uploads/downloads of data….bbPress would be GREAT! But from what I can see one can only attach 100K docs. Is there a plugin for larger uploads? Server space is no problem for us.

Thanks! –Nick

hi chris and ck

i missed something obvious, didn’t explain about my databases and probably confused you in the process.

so i’m going to try to clarify. bbPress and WordPress have separate databases. by substituting db for the name of my database, i obscured the fact that the errors referred to in my initial post are looking for my WordPress users table ie in my WordPress database, not bbPress.

in phpMyAdmin i can see that my WordPress tables have no prefix, while my bbPress tables have an underscore prefix:

i tried putting db (my database) as a prefix in my wp-config file just to see if that would work, but i still got the same errors (so changed it back to what it was, since it also took my WordPress site down, though it was fine again once i removed the prefix from wp-config).

so i still have no idea of what to do.

i remember when i was setting up integration for bbPress that i specified a table prefix – i’m wondering whether it would be simpler to uninstall bbPress and reinstall it again, trying to avoid the prefix problem? i’d lose a bit of stuff i entered, but there’s not much and i could easily recreate it.
