Hello everybody,

I need two different forums, in two different domains, they are hosted at the same server and they are sharing the database also.

If I make two different instalations using two table prefix (like bb1_ and bb2_) do you know if it’s possible to share the users between the two forums? I don’t want to merge the topics, or the forums, just the users table…

Thanks a lot.

I can help if you contact me off list. Find contact details on the site linked to my profile.

[antoniop]

I already tried that. Baffled…

[bloggerdesign]

This code works fantastic! Thanks

[chrishajer]

Sounds like something is wrong with the database tables. It’s trying to reuse tables that are there but there is some sort of problem. Can you drop those tables (if there is no content there) and then start the installation again?

[citizenkeith]

This is being covered here:

By the way this only happens to comment of posts that were sync’ed with bbPress. Comments that were not sync’ed (older posts) are working as normal.

Now I have a new problem. When I make a comment on a post in WordPress it will change all my other previous comments to the same user and comment as demonstrated here:

Everything in bbpress is working fine for now, it shows the correct comments.

A few days ago, out of the blue, users of my bbpress forum reported that submitting a new topic/post resulted in an error. Previously, my bbpress forum was working perfectly. However, over the last few days, I have verified that if you submit a new post or leave a comment, the browser takes you to bb-post.php, where the page hangs. You can verify this on my forum using user “testuser” and password “test123”.

There are a few weird things about this:

• I hadn’t touched the server for some time prior to this sudden problem, so it’s weird that the problem started, since I hadn’t changed anything
• I’ve been running two bbpress forums authenticated against the same WP user table. The problem is only with the first bbpress installation, while the second bbpress installation continues to work with no problems.
• When you post, the browser returns a 500 internal server error, and doesn’t display a “die” message, e.g. “You need to actually submit some content!”
• Although the browser returns a 500 internal server error, the posted content does go through.

I’ve hand-inspected http://boards.weddingbee.com/bb-post.php, and it has exactly the same PHP code as http://classifieds.weddingbee.com/bb-post.php. I’ve tried everything I can think of… I disabled plugins and Akismet, and the problem didn’t go away. (I’ve turned them back on.)

I’m using bbPress 0.83, with bb_db_version 788. I haven’t upgraded to bbPress 0.9.0.2 yet because I’ve integrated my WordPress 2.33 install with two bbPress installs and a Mediawiki install, and it will be a ton of work to reintegrate. However, that is the next step…

Does anybody have any ideas?

Hi!

I made a small plugin that lets users show of their latest Tweet on their profile page. The user turns the option on or off as they please.

It’s nothing fancy, but it works.

You can download it here

It has been tested with bbPress 0.9.0.2 and 1.0-dev, but should work on earlier versions.

Regards,

Rune

Hi Thomas,

Sorry for the inconvenience. Web hosting problems.

Here’s another download URL for the Danish language file for bbPress 0.8.2.1: http://munksgaard.net/?dl_id=1

Sure, I will have a go on translating bbPress 0.9.0.2 whenever I get the time…

[mlinksva]

bbPress has many translations, but AFAICT only one may be active at a time, set through $BBLANG

Am I wrong about this?

Assuming I’m not wrong…

It would be nice to enable users to select a language (or have it set for them through content negotiation).

Perhaps this could be done via a plugin a la http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/user-timezones/

I put a ticket into trac about this a few months ago.

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/779

Changing the way it functions is not too difficult but it does have to be done via the core so unfortunately I can’t address it via a plugin. At least I dont think I can, not easily.

Oh and forget a captcha ever being built into bbPress/WordPress. It will have to be done via plugin with a hook. Because the moment thousands of people have the same standardized captcha, that’s the moment it will be analysed to be broken by bots. As a plugin the method can be changed on a whim and vary from site to site easily. Besides, I’d rather have people do simple math than an awkward captcha.

[irr1449]

It would actually be best if upon entering the registration info and some sort of captcha, the user was automatically logged in and returned to the point where they hit the “Register” button.

People are lazy. They don’t want to sign up, wait for the email, copy and paste the password (because good luck remembering “D7e98DF”), sign in, and then return to the spot that made them register in the first place.

I know this would probably cause some technical issues and would not be the most secure, but I think it would greatly increase user attach rate.

Add some numbers? Oh you mean to show position #

Well the problem is I tinker with it from time to time.

If I find a new site that’s not in the top 100 I’ll usually just queue it until next time but if it’s a biggie I will rebuild the list right away.

Plus the number of posts is subjective and no indication of quality. I don’t really want to make that part a contest or people will start faking results and I’ll have to delete their listing entirely.

[A1ex]

Just add new page with slug, as in the folder your bbPress installation.

For example, “forums”.

Hi,

I just installed bbPress and have it sharing settings with my pre-existing WordPress installation. Everything is great, but I can’t figure out how to add a link form my WordPress to the forums. Is there some easy way that I am overlooking? How about a sidebar widget for WordPress that displays something?

I’ve been looking around this site, but I am confused about the plugins because I am never sure if they are for bbPress only or WordPress and there is nothing on the WordPress extension site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ted

Sweet, looks like I’ve moved up the list a bit, #19 now!

You should add some numbers to the list.

I’ve been running into cookies issues while trying to integrate bbPress into my existing WPMU site. My WPMU and bbPress installs are located in separate directories on my server (/blogs and /youngadults/forums).

bbPress is currently setup so that when users log into the forums, they are automatically logged into WPMU as well. However, for some reason this is not working the other way around – if I log into WPMU first, I am not logged into bbPress.

Does anyone know of a way to log into bbPress when going through the WPMU login?

I am using the MD5 Insecurity and Mouldy Old Cookies plugins, along with this snippet of code in the bb-config.php file:

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

[Fawked]

Thanks chrishajer it worked!

In the database, the value is stored in the bb_topicmeta table. A record that has a meta_key of uri holds the value, I think. That is record #3 in my fresh installation. It might be different in yours. Just find the key of uri and the value is the one you want, I think.
