Hello! On a BBPress forum I am creating, I need for unregistered users to be able to see the titles of Topics and Forums on the forum home page, but not be able to actually read the threads. Ideally I would like the name of the Topics and the Forums to be hyperlinked as they are now, but if you click on them, you are taken to the Log In Page. It must be possible, but all I am finding are ways to hide the names of the topics, which I do not want to do.

Thanks!

By the way, if it makes any difference, I’m running PHP 5.2.6 and mySQL 5, and WPMU is installed in the root, with subdirectories enabled.

[Alex]

I’m trying to integrate WPMU 2.6.1 and bbPress 1.0 alpha, and I’m having some troubles. Here’s how the installation process went for me:

Database details were fine.

The bbPress salt etc details were left blank as this is usually added later in the WordPress integration area.

In the integration area I inserted the WPMU address into the two URL textfields. For the keys I used the following from the wp-config.php file in my WPMU root:

WordPress "auth" cookie key -> AUTH_KEY

WordPress "auth" cookie salt -> SECRET_SALT

WordPress "secure auth" cookie key -> SECURE_AUTH_KEY

WordPress "secure auth" cookie salt -> SECURE_AUTH_SALT

WordPress "logged in" cookie key -> LOGGED_IN_KEY

WordPress "logged in" cookie salt -> LOGGED_IN_SALT

I then selected ‘Add user database integration settings’ and left WP_ as the prefix.

This went through fine.

In the Site Settings area I added the site name and URL, but something struck me right here – it was asking for ‘key master’ account details, previously this has already been the site admin for the WordPress install.

I added the username of the admin user, ‘admin, and that failed saying the account already existed. I tried the install again, and changed the ‘key master’ to another username, and this time it failed but said ‘The key master could not be created. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again.’

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bbPress issue?

I’m guessing WordPress and WordPress MU integration is planned for the final 1.0 release?

Thanks,

Alex

Yeah for sure. Big pain. I saw that you submitted a ticket, so hopefully they will fix that soon and we can even get rolling with the alpha install. In the meantime I am downgrading to make it work.

What about already registered accounts on bbpress/wordpress? Mine don’t work together and in fact if I log in in my bbpress it breaks my wordpress, I have to clear the cache/cookies to be able to login to the WP again.

It should be noted that using non ascii characters in bbPress is not supported and you could open yourself to a whole range of potential SQL injection threats by doing so.

WordPress has never supported non-ascii characters in usernames and has compensated by allowing display names, bbPress 1.0 now allows display names as well for the same reason.

[chrishajer]

If this is true and you don’t agree with the way it works, you should report the bug at trac.bbpress.org. Be sure to include the version number you’re using.

[chrishajer]

I don’t think you can do it through the bbPress interface at all ( I could be wrong about that, but I’ve never seen it. ) You would have to modify it directly in the database. Using a tool like phpMyAdmin find the topic in the bb_topics table, and modify the topic_slug. Make sure the slug you select does not already exist – the slugs need to be unique.

BBpress counts the amount “Topics” and “Posts” on the frontpage together.

eg: Topics + Posts = new Post count

I had the same issue as the original poster. I tried the .htaccess solution but I couldn’t get it to work. I used the other solution (editing the register.php) and I’ll keep in mind to check it again on updates.

[chrishajer]

If you make it work, please post your experience so that other’s may learn from it. Thanks.

Thanks, that’s what I needed.

Is there a way to move my phpBB forum to a newly created bbPress forum?

Thanks,

Hello Everyone..

I’m editing current Theme for the bbPress Alpha 1.0 Release… I have created a Side bar that appears on almost all the pages with forums listed. Just like WP category. (site: http://forum.tnalist.com). Now, I’m facing some problem with Looping through the Forums (bb_forums()). My side bar executed before main contents. so when main contents require to loop the forums again, like Category listing page / Forum on posting (selecting dropdown box). its returning NULL / empty.

I wanted to find-out is there any way that i can Reset the bb_forums( ) loop and make it available again for next time?

I know there is a way to get the forums by using get_forums(). But i wanted to use the bb_forums() to loop than using foreach..

Hope you understand my problem

Thanks

Jeevan

byeee.

[Alex]

Has anybody had any experiences trying to integrate bbPress 1.0 and WPMU 2.6.1?

I managed to get them working ageeees ago in the 0.9 releases, any reason this wouldn’t work now?

[leoleoleo]

Hello finalwebsite,

I just paid the minimum 2 month plan USD 4.99 x 2 .I think use wordpress and bbpress is ok.

Here’s a question I had not considered before but is important. When you downgrade in WP and bbPress, does the re-install also downgrade the db version number? I hope so, or things will completely break.

[chrishajer]

Shagalaga, what version of bbPress are you using, and what is the server setup? LAMP or other?

What sort of content were you actually trying to post? Can you try to post it here?

[chrishajer]

I don’t know – what’s easier for you, downgrading to 2.5.1 or upgrading to an alpha release of bbPress?

Personally, if I needed integration between WordPress and bbPress, I would install the 0.9.0.2 of bbPress and 2.5.1 of WordPress. Alpha software should be used for testing only.

[chrishajer]

Posts are editable for a configurable period of time after posting, by the original poster. You can post then look at the post and see how it worked.

This plugin also worked with earlier version of bbPress:
