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.

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

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.

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.

code

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘*******’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘*****’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘******’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// 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

// to get a phrase generated for you, or just make something up.

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

// of the “SECRET_KEY” in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘*************************************’); // Change this to a unique phrase.

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

// you will probably want to change this.

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

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

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BB_LANG’, ”);

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BB_PATH’) )

define(‘BB_PATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BB_PATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

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.

[j0hnd03]

Hi, I am already using the Simple:Press Forum but I am not happy with it. I am thinking to make a phpBB3 integration but it seems to hard to do, so I see this forum system and taking a look is simple but usefull, so, who questions…

1. May I think to use this system for a high trafic forum ?. I mean, can I control the users, has good permissions and things like that.

2. There is a way to import from my actual forum system ?

PD. I will update to 2.6.x today or tomorrow.

Thanks,

[chrishajer]

Sounds like you have a syntax error in the secret keys or cookie path that is creating trouble for bbPress creating the cookies. Line 188 of pluggable.php (in the 0.9.0.2 release, anyway) looks like this:

setcookie($bb->authcookie, $cookie, $expire, $bb->cookiepath, $bb->cookiedomain);

Can you post your bb-config.php with as little editing as possible? There’s probably something wrong in that file.

Alternatively, check bb-config.php with the php command:

[~pimpforum ] php -l bb-config.php

No syntax errors detected in bb-config.php

That’s an L, like php -L, but lowercase, in the command.

I turn off Akismet and just use Human Test to prevent bots from registering: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/

You just never know when a user will improperly get “bozo-ed” and you might miss their messages entirely. In fact i turn off the bozo feature too, it’s never quite worked right.

[chrishajer]

So, there will only be one forum that allows anonymous posting?

Sounds like _ck_ was looking for the same thing:

[admindh]

Hello..

I am using bbpress for having a forum for my bar.

Like this i need anonymus guest beeing able to post…BUT ONLY IN SINGLE DEFINED forum(s) ..at the moment a have the anonymos posting plugin running..but still they can post everywhere…somebody got i idea to fix this situation with a setup of defined restrictions or with a update of the plugin?

[geekymom]

Thanks for both your responses. We decided to move the database to the same server. I’m now having issues with the WordPress cookies, but at least that’s a new problem!

[citizenkeith]

I’m a member of a few forums that send out announcements.

Some hosts will limit the number of emails you can send at once though. Dreamhost, for instance, has a limit of 100 per hour (one of the many reasons I’ll be leaving them soon).

It would be overkill for some sites, but it would be nice to have a plugin for PHPList that would share a WordPress and/or bbPress user database; one that would allow user control of mailing list preferences in the WordPress or bbPress profile.

Based on the settings you chose, or whoever installed it on your server, there is an option to allow remote connections to the database. I’m assuming you’re using mysql for your database. The most probable cause is that either you’re running a firewall that is blocking port 3306 (default port) or you just simply don’t have remote access set up.

http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/remotemysql.htm

That is a fairly straight-forward and decent guide to setting up mysql for remote access. If you have any questions you can ask me and I’ll do my best to help!

[chrishajer]

I see you’re running WordPress 2.6.1. What version bbPress did you install? I think I asked that before but I must have missed the answer. The alpha branch of bbPress is compatible with WordPress 2.6.* but the 0.9 branch is not.
