*blushes* well i have to ask until i get this

i have managed to install the forum somehow but when i click on login or a link or any thin i get the same page and it tells me

bbPress

Already Installed

You appear to have already installed bbPress. Perhaps you meant to upgrade instead?

To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.

this is the link to the page

Is this coming from a plugin? That doesn’t look like anything related to bbPress.

[affacat]

Ah, just found this thread. I had just posted the sparepencil ajax-fix link in an older thread.

I am having permission issues. Have tried creating a new keymaster to no avail. I had the same exact issue with WP 2.3.3 until I used the ajax fixing plugin above. It feels like the same exact problem in every way.

The sparepencil plugin had a less eloquent fix originally – I don’t remember precisely but you basically just commented out a block of code and replaced it with something short and sweet (something to do with cookie decryption i think). Is there any quick fix like that here?

Basically, anything that will let me start properly admin’ing bbPress would be fantastic.

[affacat]

Creating a second Key Master did not work for me.

Help? Any ideas? Neither of my key masters can create tags, etc.

2.3.3 WP, 8.3.1 bbPress sharing user table.

[pad]

Right I’ve narrowed this down.

I’ve redirected bbPress’ login to WordPress. That’s fine. Now here’s exactly what happens when you register.

1) Go to wp-register.php, fill in fields

2) Check email, get password

3) Login at wp-login.php

4) Go to forum, already logged in – INACTIVE

5) Log out of forum, log back in – ACTIVE

Obviously the last two steps are problems. Is this a cookie issue?

I’m working with a local fresh install of bbpress and I can’t activate any plugins. (Whenever I click Activate, it says “Are you sure you want to do this?” and seems to be adding an extra backslash in the URL whenever I click YES). If I manually put the URL to activate into the browser without the extra backslash, bbpress spits out a fatal error and doesn’t activate the plugin. I’ve got bbpress working on my web server with all of the plugins, so it’s a problem with the local installation.

The local server is Apache and my config.php looks like this:

$bb->uri = ‘http://localhost/cindyfish&#8217;;

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

(database is working fine, I can click all links in the forum)

I tried changing the uri to just http://localhost/, but then I can’t access the admin panel.

The only edit I made to the core was to modify:

$activetheme = bb_get_option(‘bb_active_theme’);

to

$activetheme = stripslashes(bb_get_option(‘bb_active_theme’));

as instructed in this post:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/theme-not-found-default-theme-applied#post-8889

…so I could get my custom theme recognized.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Actually, I CAN activate plugins if I manually paste the URL into the browser and remove the extra backslashes; it failed on the path to url plugin by nanome (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/updated-to-desmond-but-theme-not-working/page/2)… would be nice tho to create a hack that could fix this for local installations on Windows

EDIT2: Okay, it also seems that bbpress adds the extra backslash only if the plugins are in individual folders. For plugins that sit just in the my-plugins folder, the local installation can activate them fine. Otherwise they have to be linked manually.

[Sam Bauers]

By the way, you probably shouldn’t be running bbPress trunk in a production environment at the moment, it is not stable enough. You should be running bbPress from branches/0.8 of the svn repository. It is the development branch for the next release (o.9)

[Sam Bauers]

You need to remove the integration plugins for a start. They are not required with WP2.5/bbPress0.9

The role manager plugin in WP may be hampering things too.

In fact, you should turn off all your plugins on both WP and bbPress and see how it goes.

The only other potential for a bug is if you have a non standard WordPress table prefix (i.e. not “wp_”)

[Sam Bauers]

There were some issues with the stream reader class and 64 bit processors if I remember correctly.

That should be fixed in the next version of bbPress – maybe you can see if this function makes sense to you:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/branches/0.8/bb-includes/gettext.php#L98

Maybe you could test against the next release for us? Just grab the zip file from the bottom of this page:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/branches/0.8

after successfully importing smf->phpbb2->bbpress I have one lingering problem: posts are sorted by creation date, not most recent post.

Is there an easy solution to fix this?

(my integration escapades can be found here:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-convert-smf-gt-phpbb2-gt-bbpress

)

(I’m also having issues getting pretty permalinks to work but that’s for another day)

[affacat]

After a day of on-again, off-again effort I have successfully imported my SMF to bbPress – and integrated it with WP.

I did this on a local test server, then installed bbPress live, then drop/imported my bbpress tables and user tables (my wp user tables in this case).

Steps:

1. Installed PhpBB 2.0.23 (legacy version available from phpbb people) and made sure it worked

2. Used files within a zip file called convert_smf_111_v1b.zip to convert SMF -> Phpbb. Unfortunately, I can’t find the link to the thread right now… I found this

http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=306321&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

but it isn’t as new a version.

I believe the file I used is here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=141446

sorry I lost the link to the discussion.

NOTE 1 : I had to manually go into the database and upgrade my main account to ‘level 1’ to become admin again.

NOTE 2 : Your password probably won’t work and you probably can’t send yourself an email either. I hacked phpbb/includes/emailer.php and included the variable $this->msg into the error message so that the email appeared on the screen. This gave me the ability to reset my account and get a new password.

3. Implemented the following MOD on PhpBB to switch conflicting User Ids

http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=388155&sid=3d5e8f776a7086b6fec64c3e80c7cbca

(this part is tedious! the MOD is a pain to install and rearranging is no fun either)

Here are directions on how to install a Phpbb mod:

http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=61611

4. installed Jaim3’s PhpBB to bbPress converter per instructions

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-phpbb-to-bbpress-database-converter

This created a .sql file.

NOTE 1: Make sure to create a temp folder where the file wants to be created

5. Important edits to .sql file

A) since I did an integrated WP/BBpress install, I needed to search and replace bb_user for wp_user

Delete any lines that add users who already exist in BB/WP

C) add a field called topic_resolved to bb_topics

D) Delete the sample test posts and forums in the bbpress tables

6. Import the .sql into your database. The above should have solved any conflicts, but if you get an error it should be relatively easy to figure out.

7. At this point, since I wasn’t doing it live I installed bbPress live, and then drop/created my test tables (all bb tables plus user tables) on my live server and all went well.

8. This should be everything. Have a drink.

[pad]

No. I have the very latest bbPress and WordPress nightly builds and this issue remains.

[chrishajer]

I have a WordPress site as well, with bbPress in a subdirectory, and permalinks for me work in WordPress and not bbPress. I gave up on it long ago since it’s just not that important to me. I have no idea why it works for WordPress and not bbPress. I’ve tried all the steps as well.

[kernow]

No help I’m afraid…sorry. But am I to understand, that when I upgrade to the latest versions of WordPress & bbPress, integration (functioning correctly or not) is already built it, without the addition of plugins etc….??

[_ck_]

If this is known working, it’s useful as a few people have requested the ability to remove /forum/ and /topic/

The author should be encouraged to add this to the plugin browser:

Tenéis un alta!

Hola de nuevo Ganzúa y cia.

Lussumo era temporal hasta que BBPress madurara algo más, ahora, por fin, lo he implementao en la Web junto con Wordpres y a decir verdad, pese a usar versiones Release, me va genial.

He de decir que para integrar BBPress con el nuevo sistema de passwords de WP2.5 he tenido que meter el diff de BBPress previsto para la 0.9… así que como decía, realmente uso todo releases: WP2.5 y BBPress 0.83+el hack para el password de la 0.9

[pad]

Can someone PLEASE help me, this is ridiculous!!

I have the respective integration plugins enabled on both WordPress and bbPress

1) If I sign up in WordPress, the bbPress user has an inactive role

2) If I sign up in bbPress, the WordPress user has NO role ***AND*** my Key Master account is DEMOTED to a role with no abilities to post, edit profile or anything.

Please someone take some time quickly to help me solve this issue, it must be something I’m doing wrong here.

I’m using the latest 0.9 release and WordPress 2.5

[CoreForce]

Looks like I’m running into the same or similar issue.

Localization works fine on my local system, which is WordPress free.

I’ve uploaded the same configuration onto a hosted server and this one fails to internationalize. I realize now that the hosting provider offers WordPress as installation option out of the box. I suspect this to be the reason why the internationalizations fails, presumably because of some preliminary setups for WordPress are in place already.

Is there a clean solution to get bbpress internationalized without all the hazzle from WordPress? I intend not to install the WordPress package.

[CoreForce]

Having trouble with localization as well.

It works on my local Windoze system without problem, switched to German very smoothly.

But not on the hosted Linux server, shows English only.

Configuration is 100% identical.

Any ideas what might be wrong with it?

I’m on bbpress-0.8.3.1

Thanks.

Hi

The role mapping has always been set in the admin, but I clicked ‘Set Role Map’ again – didn’t work. Did a test registration from bbPress… the user in WordPress has ‘no role for this blog.’

Again, I sign up in WordPress, the user in bbPress is ‘Inactive.’

Could this possibly be something to do with the Role Manager plugin in WordPress? If it is, it’s weird as my default role is still Subscriber…

I really want to sort this ASAP as members will be seeing the forums from next week and it will be bad if they can’t access one or other section until I’ve manually changed their roles.

[Sam Bauers]

Go to the WordPress integration options page in the admin and set the user roles at the bottom of the page. Doing so will update any existing users lacking roles in either WordPress or bbPress.

Once the user role mapping is set it will add roles to WordPress as well as bbPress from then on when a user registers in bbPress. WordPress registrations is another matter though, I thought a subscriber would have defaulted to being a member in bbPress. I.e. if they had user data but no role the default is to make them at least a member. Can you check this?

[bdwelle]

We are looking for a bbPress developer to bid on the following project:

1) Select, install, configure/customize bbPress to integrate with our web site and user login system

2) Replicate some functionality of our existing bidirectional mailing lists with new discussion board infrastructure

3) Import old messages (mailstore_ database format)

4) Import older Yahoogroups messages (maildir format)

Detailed requirements here:

http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddqq5n63_70hmjmm8fv

bbPress is the preferred basis for this project, and we will ONLY work with providers who have specific experience with bbPress and other online forum systems (e.g. phpBB)

Please contact bdwelle [at] gmail [dot] com

Hi there,

I would like to switch my forums over to bbPress. However, I can’t seem to find a plugin that will let me display blocks of information in different parts of my forum. For example in Vanilla forums, the “Nuggets” extension lets me add any php code to the header, threads, after the 3rd post, at the footer, wherever. I personally could use this functionality to display Google Adsense code after the first post of every thread. Is there any way I could do this with bbPress?

Thanks a lot!

[pad]

I’m running the latest version of 0.9 and WordPress 2.5.

How easy is it to make so that if a user signs up on either WordPress OR bbPress’s register scripts, the correct user role is assigned?

Right now, if a user on my site signs up on WordPress, they get a Subscriber role but no role on the forum. If a user signs up on the forum, they get a Member forum role but no role on the blog.

I dabbled with the plugins to supposedly fix this but succeeding in little more than somehow stripping both my WordPress AND my bbPress admin priviledges, which I had to put back in phpMyAdmin, to much strife. Yes that’s right, I ended up as a bog-standard member on bbPress and a Subscriber on WordPress. It was NOT fun.

I really want to fix this as this is all that stands between me and a fully integrated WP/BBP. Thanks in advacne
