It is a very attractive theme, I’ll give them that, and it would be relatively easy to make a theme for BBPress that looks just like that.

I’d love to have a stab at it myself, but I’m really busy developing a forum theme for a for a new site I’m working on – It has a lot in common with that layout as it happens. I will probably release my theme when it’s done, but I only get a couple of hours a night to work on it, so it’s probably some time away from being public.

I’ll fave this topic to remind me that I’ve committed to sharing my theme

[Hellweaver666]

We will not be able to download talkpress and do some hosting on our own? We can do that with wordpressMU, so why not with talkpress?

BBPress == WordPress(.org)

TalkPress == WordPress.com

WordPressMU came after WordPress.com if my memory serves me right, so we probably won’t be seeing a BBPressMU until sometime well after TalkPress goes live (which itself is probably a year or so away).

Of course, it may never happen, I’m just speculating.

[Hellweaver666]

Member lists just attract spammers in my experience, the only person who needs to be able to see all members are the admin team, and they already can.

Please, *don’t* make a member list a default option, I like that BBPress is free from this kind of bloat.

I’m using BBPress 1.0 alpha and working on a new theme almost completely from scratch.

I have added the post_form() function to my front-page.php template file as I want to allow people to start a new topic direct from the home page.

Naturally, this requires people to be able to select a target forum for their post and the post-form.php template contains the bb_new_topic_forum_dropdown() function which is supposed to show the drop down list, however for some reason it doesn’t appear. The code around it shows ok, so it’s not a problem with the if statement that checks if we’re on the homepage or not…

So… is that a bug in BBPress that needs to be submitted to trac or am I doing something that I shouldn’t be doing?

[corenominal]

I am experiencing the same issues with my bbPress install. It was working fine before and I have not changed anything either. I figure the host (Dreamhost) has changed some configuration or other. I have contacted them and am waiting to hear back.

[greenergrass]

well, i’m not real sure if it is “visible”; so that probably means two things (1) i’m a little in over my head here and (2) this is probably the problem… my site URL where i want bbpress is http://www.roninbrush.com/forum , but i have a feeling this isn’t what you need…

it does show up in phpMyAdmin as a database. it just isn’t populated with anything.

i guess i was under the impression that i wouldn’t need to know a whole bunch about database programming and that the installer would do most of the heavy lifting for me… please let me know what my next course of action should be.

Well I tried to integrate bbpress with my wordpress theme and I after calling wp functions by adding

require_once('/wamp/www/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php')

I realized that I had no settings link on the bbpress dashboard. I removed that line and the link appeared again but no theme integration.

BBPress as wp plugin for 1.0 final is too much asking, isn’t it?

[ganzua]

Hi ck! (great integration guide, BTW)

I managed to make a basic integration with bbpress 1.0 alpha and wp 2.6.1 beta2.

However bbpress reported an error in line 19 of its config file.

Checked and it was the cookie keys that are not well fetched. Perhaps it is a problem with foreign computers and character encoding, I don’t know.

Where it says;

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '1234´´´56789');

it is appearing;

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '1234');

Maybe the ticks and php. I solved this issue by copy pasting the right keys from wp config file.

I installed bbpress in MySQL5. Install went fine. Now I get the following error when I go to my bbpress url:

Warning: bb_load_template(/home/greenpre/public_html/discussion/bb-templates/kakumei/front-page.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/greenpre/public_html/discussion/bb-includes/template-functions.php on line 17

Please help.

Thank you!

Why is this listed as a stylesheet in the source? It gives a 404 then includes the whole WordPress page as a stylesheet:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk/oldboards/my-templates/bbpress-forum/style2.css?v=8" type="text/css" />

 

I don’t know if that has anything to do with it, but it’s not right.

Also, does the problem you’re describing happen with the stock template as well?

First, every time I go to BBpress.org I get happy because you all do amazing work.

I am struggling to set up a few different things on my forum.

The forum can be found on http://www.proveit4cash.com/bbpress

Here are the 2 things I want:

1. Post Counts for each individual (ie. Member has 150 posts) both somewhere in there profile and next to each post.

2. I need help figuring out how to set up restrictions on Forums.

I have 3 forums.

I want 1 to be open to everyone to start threads and to post.

I want 1 to be open to any member to start threads and post

I want 1 to be open to only admin to start threads and only a certain member class to reply.

[greenergrass]

i have downloaded bbpress and uploaded files to server.

on the first step, where it asks for database name, username and password, the username and password are correctly filled in already. when i manually fill in the db name “forum” i get this error:

“There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.

Please check the settings, then try again.”

I have read through the forums and not found anything that works…

.

I am trying to install on an add-on domain (www.roninbrush.com/forum) and as per other help threads I have tried reinstalling one level up, as well as on the main user domain (guysunderpressure.com). none of which worked

in another thread it said to fill in the db host with something similar to:

mysql.roninbrush.guysunderpressure.com rather than localhost.

this did not work either.

i’m sure i’ve missed something incredibly simple, but it’s beyond me. any help you could give me would be much appreciated.

also listed below are the perl and php connection strings (if that helps at all)

Perl

$dbh = DBI->connect(“DBI:mysql:guysu2_forum:localhost”,

“guysu2_bradford”,”<PASSWORD HERE>”);

PHP

$dbh=mysql_connect (“localhost”, “guysu2_bradford”,

“<PASSWORD HERE>”) or die(‘Cannot connect to the database because: ‘ . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db (“guysu2_forum”);

That won’t do anything at all for your bbPress installation I don’t think.

[Hellweaver666]

Just FYI everyone, I’m currently developing a site based around WP 2.6 and BB 1.0a and it’s working really well. I’m not using any plugins, but it seems to be working absolutely fine right now. I’ll share the site when it’s close to completion.

If you are building a site and don’t need to go live in the next couple of weeks, I would suggest starting your development with BBPress 1.0 alpha – it’s working well for me!

[peuter]

I installed my bbpress and all works fine, but then added a “secret key” to the config.php file after all was installed. It still works fine, but is that OK? Is my secret key doing what it is supposed to?

[chrishajer]

If you mean WordPress 2.6 and bbPress 0.9.0.2, then no, they’re not compatible. Choices seem to be:

1. Go back to WordPress 2.5.1

2. Install bbPress alpha release and take your chances

3. Wait for a new bbPress release that’s compatible

4. Live without integration

[chrishajer]

That was my point exactly. It’s just in the template, like things are in WordPress. Remove them or comment them out if you don’t need them.

[_ck_]

You can fix this if you have phpmyadmin.

Do you have it?

go into your bb_usermeta (or wp_usermeta)

and find that last administrator you made, it will look like:

bb_capabilities a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

and just change the meta_value to

a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;},

user_id meta_key meta_value

[_ck_]

You want WordPress for that, not bbPress.

There’s no need for that in forum software.

[_ck_]

The search box is not hard coded in the core, it’s only in the template – it won’t be forced on other templates.

Just look in header.php

<?php login_form(); ?>

<div class="search">

<?php search_form(); ?>

</div>

The three “search” lines can be removed or just comment out this:

<?php // search_form(); ?>

[_ck_]

Yes, 1.0 alpha is required to integrate with WordPress 2.6

bbpress 0.9 <-> WordPress 2.5.x

bbPress 1.0 <-> WordPress 2.6.x

[_ck_]

The way I deal with fixing topicmeta is like this, though there may be other ways:

old:

if ( $topics = (array) $bbdb->get_col("SELECT topic_id FROM $bbdb->topicmeta WHERE meta_key = 'rating'") ) :

new:

if (bb_get_option('bb_db_version')>1600) {$item="object_id as topic_id"; $table="$bbdb->meta WHERE object_type='bb_topic' AND";}

else {$item="topic_id"; $table="$bbdb->topicmeta WHERE";}

if ( $topics = (array) $bbdb->get_col("SELECT $item FROM $table meta_key = 'rating'") ) :

[articles2u]

Does the 1.0 alpha allow for integration with WordPress 2.6?

[hanjra]

I have read all related scripts on the forum, but i cant login. I installed whole bbpress twice but still now success.
