I can vouch for ThemePress. It is an excellent solution imho. I am using it on a site that is still in the development stage. It is quite easy to use. It is also much better than trying to make separate bbPress and wordpress themes similar.

[anywhen]

I want to try to explain a little bit more: I looked at the tables in the MySQL Database (bbpress only install – not WP integration) – in the table “bb_users” are some fields like “user_login”, “user_nicename” and many more …

My problem is that the search function does not give me any results if I search for a user name (user_login) or for example “user_nicename” – and at this time I think it is unrelevant if the user have post something or not. Seams that this fields are not in the search include only the topic or the content of a post is relevant for the search function …

My question is: How can I modify the search that these fields are also relevant for the search?

Thank you very much for help …

Sorry, I dont know about the TRAC thing. Just explain and i will stick it up there.

BTW .. isnt there a PM system within bbpress ?

By popular request here is “The Hybrid”

download:

http://bbshowcase.org/themes/the-hybrid.zip

demo:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/?bbtheme=the-hybrid

Essentially it’s a mash-up between the bbPress support forum theme here and Kakumei, with a few tweaks.

Requires the Topic Views plugin to be installed.

It’s older work and not as pretty as “FutureKind” (I won’t be releasing that one this year) and you can forget about “validation” unless you want to work on it quite a bit yourself, but it’s a nice alternative to the defaults.

Let me know if you get any errors or other problems.

I’ll try to fix it up some more as I have time.

In bb-includes/class-phpass.php on line 43, bbpress uses getmypid() to create the randomstate for password hashes.

On shared hosting systems, getmypid() is disabled very often.

I replaced it with uniqid(), and bbpress didnt throw the WARNING anymore.

getmypid() does not return a unique value in all cases. Especiall when PHP is running as an apache module in shared hosting sytems. Also for this reason its much better to use uniqid().

uniqid() gives a 13 digits value. uniqid(”, true) even 23 digits. I think this should be good enough for the randomstate.

Please consider to use uniqid() in future versions of bbpress.

thx for your attention

Had the same bug, when I installed bbpress for the first time today. I noticed that it didnt even create the .htaccess file.

(couldn’t get the quote to work) from _ck_ post above: ” Also, none of this truly fixes WP 2.6 to work properly with cookie integration with bbPress 0.9.0.2 – that’s going to require an upgrade on the bbPress side.

ahh this must be why I am having trouble with single sign-on? In the past hour, I have tried everything in all the other posts about this topic to no avail. Unless I tried every combination/setting with the configs except the right one, of course.

[_ck_]

The trouble is that the developers on the WP side, in their wisdom decided to re-use an existing cookie name for a new purpose and change the cookie path.

The idea is higher security as the admin cookie in theory should only get transmitted when you are entering the admin section.

This is why you need to try deleting all your cookies (for your site) after installing WP 2.6

If that fails, try my define fix above.

Note that changing the cookie path to ‘/’ takes you back to the lower level of security that WP 2.5.1 and earlier had. There’s a particular WP mod who’s upset with me for even suggesting this but I figured the idea is to get you up and running ASAP first until they address this later.

Also, none of this truly fixes WP 2.6 to work properly with cookie integration with bbPress 0.9.0.2 – that’s going to require an upgrade on the bbPress side.

hey dbbpress1;

what do you mean exactly by

all of the redirects are causing me problems. I need the pages to return directly without redirecting to show new content.

Hi – I’m trying to integrate bbPress with the rest of my site and I’m finding that all of the redirects are causing me problems. I need the pages to return directly without redirecting to show new content.

Does anyone have expertise in this area? I would greatly appreciate a few hours of help and I could even do it as a paid consulting gig given the short notice.

Thanks

[matjack1]

thank you!!

works also for me!

[750284]

Thanks… that worked.

Of course, after that I decided I wanted to add a field.

I found this plug-in which you can also use to remove fields by actually modifying the profile fields, which worked equally well, plus allowed me to add a few fields.

[parthatel]

I would like to edit the design and text of when you log in to bbPress, which says “Welcome, username! Logout.” Where do I edit this? Thanks.

try this:

[750284]

How do I remove some of the fields that are on the registration form? I’m using bbPress for a support forum and it doesn’t make sense to ask people things like their occupation and interests.

I don’t really care if there’s not a plugin to do it (although that’d be nice), but I just can’t find where the profile_info_keys are so that I can edit them.

Okay, some bbPress users may be able to get it to work with WordPress 2.6 by adding to your wp-config.php

@define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/blog/wp-admin');

where “blog” is your blog’s actual path. If it’s in the webroot, just take out “blog” entirely and leave '/wp-admin'

[_ck_]

We might have to sit tight for a 0.9.1 release or something like that.

I figured out a work-around to get into admin area on WP 2.6 but this will “knock out” your bbPress login as you switch back and forth:

[Erunafailaro]

So what next?

Is this an issue of configuring wp 2.6 and bbpress 0.9.0.2 correctly to fix this problem?

Or is a software-update necessary?

[_ck_]

I wonder if a newer bbPress build will be required which can be taken from trac (or via svn).

Let me tinker a bit and see if they changed cookie methods (yet again, sigh)

CONFIRMED: WP 2.6 breaks cookie sync

and I get a endless-loop login by WP 2.6

Many people seem to confirm similar cookie problems:

hi,

just upgraded to wordpress 2.6, and I’m not able to login to my bbpress forum anymore (0.9.0.2). it just reloads the page.

Logging in at the wordpress admin interface is wokring fine.

(cleared cache, cookies,…)

Yeah I’ve tried what you’ve tried there with the re-directs and yep, it just dies.

But no meta-redirects are used in my sites at all. For experimentation I tried the domain with two different domain bindings, multiple domain bindings. But no difference.

I tried an older version of bbpress, same problem. I installed bbpress fresh into a different domain, same problem.

I noticed this guy here had a similar prob a while back:

Forum and topic pages redirects to page 1

But never said how he solved it, I might join up to his forum and ask him….

But yes this is driving me crazy…on a plus note when I finally fix it I can fresh install bbpress in about two minutes

Any other suggestions from folk greatly appreciated. And thanks for ongoing help Chris.

Well, wasn’t able to wait anymore. Users were complaining. I removed bbpress but thanks anyways.

[hinch]

I hadn’t read the guide on merging with wordpress – I am building it into a CMS built for a client.

I had already adjusted pluggable.php instead of simply editing bb-config and adding the cookiepath, d’oh!

I actually have a working solution now. Instead of ussing about with automatic login the main website can generate a cookie that BBpress likes. I did have to modify wp_validate_auth_cookie and wp_generate_auth_cookie to include my own hash and adjust the config as pointed out above but otherwise everything is unmodified… so far!

[737705]

Mod_rewrite doesn’t work on IIS without third party software and I think they are all a little buggy on IIS7.

Annoying but true, so this is just using Bbpress with the normal query string setting.

I will try an older version of bbpress later today just to see what happens.

[chrishajer]

Would this help?
