I started for some friends a new Fan Forum to the film High School Musical and for this I am using bbpress and I am very confident with this. BBpress rocks. I used the standard Theme and modified it completly: High School Musical Fan Forum

We’ve just gone public today. I decided not to sync with Mu. I am planning to implement BuddyPress when it comes to life. I thought bugger it. Register twice. I thought why break everything when teething that down the road. Paranoid? Maybe.

More pimping to do. Love BBPress so far. Mods are finding it easy to learn.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-custom-profile-fields ?

It’s old but the idea is the same now as it was then. The process may have changed a bit.

[affacat]

oh, i was actually talking about a separate issue where I can’t add/edit tags (well, I can add one per post then I get ‘no permission’ error:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/no-rights-to-create-forum-as-key-master#post-14757

But this issue is not actually related to this thread — anyone reading this that wants to convert following the instructions above should. i just found it odd that tag management works here but not on my own site.

[_ck_]

I believe on bbPress users can only edit their own tags.

But that’s a good point where keymasters should be able to edit anyone’s tags – I’ll have to see if that’s the behavior in 0.9 and if not, I’ll put a ticket in trac.

eta: on 0.9 (not sure about previous versions)

keymasters can remove anyone’s tags

[kernow]

The solution I think is to wait for the full and tested new version of bbPress to become available and use that.

Anyone know how I might hook into the user profile to add new fields (I’m talking broad advice here! If you can give me a idea as to where to hook, I’ll figure the rest out). I want to add new fields in the “Edit Profile” section, have them stored in bbpress database, and then display the fields on the user profile page.

I don’t care about editing the core, if that’s the easiest way.

[chrishajer]

Not a mistake, just that permalinks don’t work out of the box. Turning them off is a quick fix, but if you want permalinks, you’ll have to set them up.

[pad]

I’ve removed all cookie stuff, but now you have to login to bbPress and WordPress separately. Is there no solution as yet?

[abailore]

hi everybody!

i am new to bbpress. i have come across that bbpress already has an xml exporter. can any one provide me with the information regarding this?

thanks

Read this:

Sorry you’re having that trouble. You can also browse the forums for topics tagged 169 and see a pretty good summary or proposed solutions.

[affacat]

Tags fixed.

Why can I edit tags here and not as keymaster on my own install? Erg.

Also — I reread my instructions. One thing I’d like to clarify:

When reorganizing your forum users on phpBB using the mod, make sure to make anyone who exists in both phpBB and WP have matching User IDs. Then, when you delete them from the import script, the forum will still have all posts and topics pointing to the correct user because the record is already correct in your bb/wp user tables.

U can access to this URL??:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-theme-switcher/bbpress-theme-switcher.zip

I will try to refresh the caché… I haven’t any proxy or anything like this.

Thx, for answer.

[_ck_]

Nice work and thanks for sharing…

I just knew that using phpbb as an inbetween standard is a good idea…

ps. you might want to fix the tags on this to separate words

[_ck_]

You need the plugin to allow spaces and other characters in usernames.

Not in the plugin browser though, let me find it…

Here you go:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/usernames-with-spaces-do-not-work?replies=28#post-7904

I think 0.9 fixes this issue

Recently installed bbPress. It’s integrated with an existing WP installation.

One of my main users has a user name with spaces:

‘John A Doe’

When he tries to log into bbPress, it tells him the user name does not exist. Oddly, in the box where he types in his user name, it changes the text he typed in to:

‘JohnADoe’ removing all spaces. If he puts the spaces back in, and his password, it simply tells him he doesn’t exist and removes the spaces again.

I went into WP to try changing his user name, but that field says ‘do not edit’ in the admin.

He is an admin in WP and a keymaster in bbPress as well.

Any ideas?

[affacat]

If you ever feel like upgrading this plug-in, here’s a feature request:

Make the specific forum private to certain user classes.

I recently converted from SMF, where I had a number of ‘secret’ forums. These were were used for ‘in-house’ project discussions, not for your average user. I had to delete all these sub-forums from bbPress because they weren’t for all eyes to see.

I’d love to be able to set it so that only ‘staff’ can see a particular board, whereas most boards would be accessible by all.

[jaydedman]

I really liked the idea behind this plugin: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/

Unfortunately, when I installed it, it doesnt seem to send any notification if you favorite a topic.

The developer’s website also seems gone: http://www.la-school.com/2006/bbpress-notification/

Anyone have any ideas> I left a message on the plugin page, but dont see much traffic there.

[Covi]

Ok, ATM, we can use the trac:

https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/private-forums/trunk?rev=457

[Covi]

We need a download section on the plugin homepage, BBpress plugins repository is broken

Regards, Covi.

I noticed my import didn’t import a forum’s most recent post time correctly (it was set equal to forum start date instead)

i ran this to fix it:

UPDATE

bb_topics

set topic_time =

(SELECT bb_posts.post_time

from bb_posts

where bb_posts.topic_id=bb_topics.topic_id

ORDER BY bb_posts.post_time DESC LIMIT 1)

[kreativa]

*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

thanks thanks

Hi iam trying to install this

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.
