Hmm, I’m pretty stupid, I think. Didn’t even see the sticky, so I’m trying BBPress 1.0 alpha now. Hope that will work.

I have a band messageboard that’s worked flawlessly for a year now… but when I tried posting myself just now, it didn’t appear on the board. When I checked the dashboard, this is what it said for the latest post:

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND meta_key='views'' at line 1]

SELECT meta_value FROM bb_topicmeta WHERE topic_id = AND meta_key='views'

INSERT INTO bb_topicmeta ( meta_id, topic_id, meta_key, meta_value) VALUES ( NULL , , 'views', )

Any idea what’s going on? I’ve never seen this before… and I think I’m the only one with access to the backend.

Hello,

I just managed uploading and installing BBPress in a subdirectory of WordPress. Everything works just fine, and when you sign up on WordPress, you will also be able to log in with that account on BBPress, but there’s one problem:

When you log in on WordPress, and you go to BBPress, you have to log in again. So, members have to sign in 2 times, on the same account, one time for WordPress and one time on BBPress.

I’m running WordPress 2.6. In wp-config.php there was no SECRET_KEY. There was an AUTH_KEY and a SECURE_AUTH_KEY, but there was a BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php. So, what should I do in wp-config.php?

I tried to define SECRET_KEY myself, but that didn’t work. The ‘code’ in SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php is the same as BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php, but it still doesn’t work.

I hope it’s a little clear what my problem is.

Thanks,

Ramy

This is completely out of left field with this suggestion, but I had similar problems with the redirection errors like you but I don’t use WPMU so this might not apply.

I honestly can’t remember if I changed any of the chmod settings, I think I might of changed them all the files to 777.

But also in the setup when it asks you in the wordpress integration stage when it asks you to fill in the xxx_xxx_salt settings from the wordpress just leave them blank.

Might help for you.

Is there a problem with your wordpress install too?

To fix bbpress, you need phpmyadmin or a similar tool. Login, go to your bbpress database. Not certain what it’s like on 0.9, but you probably need to go to the bb_topicmeta table and perform a search (or browse through) to find a record where the meta_key is wp_table_prefix. Try deleting that record. Without that setting I think bb would look for its own users again.

how can i include bbpress in another system? the scope issues are confusing me.

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_results() on a non-object in bb-includes/functions.php on line 1761

TEST.PHP:

<?php

bb_load();

function bb_load()

{

global $bb, $bbdb, $bb_current_user, $page, $bb_cache, $posts, $bb_post, $post_id, $topics, $topic, $topic_id, $forums, $forum, $forum_id, $tags, $tag, $tag_name, $user, $user_id, $view, $bb_roles, $bb_table_prefix, $bb_locale, $bb_timestart, $timeend; #….???

require(‘./bb-load.php’);

}

?>

[_ck_]

Just a total guess on my part but it’s probably because your re-write rules are conflicting with the fact that forums.xyz.com is really xyz.com/forums/

when the rewrite rules change the content, it tries to route it to xyz.com/index.php which is wrong and should be xyz.com/forums/index.php

So first, temporarily turn off pretty permalinks in the admin (or via bb-config.php)

Then re-generate the mod-rewrite rules and you may have to hand edit them.

As per title, bbsync is now dead with the 1.0 release, is there a working plugin with roughly the same features?

When I go to publish the post(does not matter if I have set it to post to it or not)

I really have no idea, but I thought I would toss this out there:

Then I remembered this post:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installation-to-sub-domain-error-400#post-65

If you search these forums for subdomain and wpmu, you might find something useful. I don’t use WPMU or subdomains, so I am just guessing here.

I’ve tried this a number of times. I can get bbpress 1.0 alpha installed on a test server without wordpress integration. When I move to another server, I’ve run into a number of problems. They aren’t the same problems every time, which is driving me crazy.

The most common problem I have is at some point during the installation process, I get a “The page isn’t redirecting properly” error. I get this most often at the very last stage of installation, but I’ve also gotten it after the first step. The last time I got this error at the last stage, I received a chmod and a could not modify headers error.

The current page is at http://forums.brynmawr.edu

I’m guessing we could have an error with our web server. I’m not a sys admin, so I’m not entirely sure where to check. Any ideas that I can pass on to our sys admin would be most appreciated.

Hello! This is my very first bbpress theme. It is based off of the WordPress theme “Modmat” (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/modmat#post-27) by chrismou (http://mou.me.uk/)

Like I said, this is my first theme, so ANY constructive criticism is MUCH appreciated. Also, if you find any kind of mistakes, please let me know!

This theme was designed for both 0.9.0.2 and 1.0 Alpha.

Does bbpress allow for… or is there a plugin to allow for…

holding a topic entry for Admin to approve before displaying on the frontend?

I’m wanting to create a ‘picture contest’ entry page.

Memebers login, open then page, and upload an image to be voted/rated.

I’d like for Admin to approve each before making each entry visible on the frontend.

[_ck_]

Wow I can’t believe you hand copied all those messages.

There’s something weird about your server’s load.

The first page takes a long time to respond. Then once you have a connection you can browse fairly smoothly until it stalls again. It’s not bbpress doing it because it happens on the other side too.

ps. you are going to need the “allow images” plugin

[chrishajer]

Have you tried clearing your cookies? Since you changed the keys for WordPress and bbPress, the cookies will be different and your old ones might be fouling things up.

You can also contact me off list and I might be able to help you.

[hanjra]

Ok i tell you what i did… i replaced the BB_Secret_key with only alphabetic and numeric but even then i couldnt login.

Then i changed the keys of wordpress too with alphabetic and numberic only but then i couldnt login to wordpress too. I was having same login problem and same error message as i am having with bbpress.

So then i replaced the wp-config file with old one and then i was able to login. Problem still exists with bbpress.

Please read my above post too and tell me what to do thanks a lot for this help.

@ _ck_

Any series of steps you do via phpmyadmin can be saved in sql code and made into a converter. Give me the sql commands and I’ll make you a script.

In fact I’m not by far enough PHP and sql fluently to use sql commands.

My SimplePress forum is rather young so I don’t have thousands of messages (274 in fact).

I proceed in a very manual way :

On my Mac / Firefox I have 4 tabs, the old forum, the BBPress forum, the Old forum phpmyadmin and BBpress php myadmin

I copy a message in the old forum, craete a new message in BBpress then correct in phpmyadmin the time poster id and so on.

Old forum :

BBpress 1.0 install

Its long but it works.

Thanks for this.. yes that is right i was using that wordpress key… now tell me ,, will i have to change the key of my wordpress too or only i need to change the key of bbpress. Or i ll have to remove all the bbpress tables and then install again or just change the key only.

ps: if i want to integrate the bbpress with wordpress then what will i have to do.. to change the key of wordpress too??

[chrishajer]

If you used the WordPress secret key generator API to create the keys for WordPress and are using those keys for bbPress, it’s entirely possible the key works fine in WordPress but not bbPress.

There is at least one person I found via google who has done the simple:press conversion but they didn’t say how. I suspect it was the phpbb2 process.

@J0hnD03

I’m in the same situation, using SimplePress and willing to switch.

I’m not willing to do so because of SimplePress problems (SimplePress is far more advanced than most forums scripts, BBPress included and far better integrated with WP than most forums BBPress included) but because it’s a single man project and the day he will decide to have a life it’s likely the project will be dropped…

Currently I’m converting things by hand (and with PhpMyAdmin) because I didn’t found any converter (and that’s normal, Simple Press is not very well known and would deserve better diffusion).

I would be interested by your experience in integrating BBpress in WP design.

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change BB_SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You won’t have to remember it later,

// so make it long and complicated. You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match the value

// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

That is my bb-config.php

I take it there is no quick fix to get out of this dilemna? I don’t understand why, but now we are also unable to log into our word press blog.

My plan is to uninstill bbpress, then attempt to install it to the wordpress database. I’m on the road now and won’t have an opportunity to do this till tomorrow. If anybody knows of a quick fix to get our wordpress blog working, it would be great.

If you are not on 2.6 yet, stay with 2.5 and install bbPress 0.9

bbPress 1.0 is in ALPHA and not ready for active sites that use/need plugins. Many of my plugins have issues with 1.0 because of many internal changes.

bbPress integration is easy and takes just a few minutes if you have a typical server and standard setup.

There are a several large sites using bbPress (including WordPress.org) so it handles high traffic just fine.

I’ve never heard of anyone converting from Simple:Press, you’ll have to search for it. If you can get it into PHPBB2 format, several people have converted from that.
