no I didn´t delete the bbpress data. only the wpdata.

I reinstalled all, but still no admin panel.

Users can still register and posting are still there and possible to make.

is there no other way?

I think installing PHP and MySQL on localhost is beyond the scope of the bbPress support forums. Looks like you already found this:

http://us2.php.net/mysql

It would be less stressful to just get a hosting account that already supports those PHP and MySQL, then install bbPress there. Then the site can be Internet accessible as well.

Regarding flat file forum software:

myUPB

PBLang

I don’t have experience with any of those, just found them at http://www.opensourcecms.com/

You could also use a hosted solution like Yahoo! Groups or something like that.

ok ok i’ve try to set it up on my pc again, i installed mysql but how do i compile it with php

ok all i can get is: For compiling, simply use the –with-mysql[=DIR] configuration option where the optional [DIR] points to the MySQL installation directory.

wtf dose that mean can someone tell me what to do. :'(

[thetooth]

hi i was wondering if there is a way to get bbpress to run on a flat-file insted of my sql

i really need this so if you can write something i’d like that too

There is a facility in the plugin to enter additional URLs that will be generated into the sitemap. This is a way to point google at “/forums/” for a bbPress installation that falls under a wordpress main site. If the sitemap is not valid then I expect it is unlikely that the sitemap will be crawled.

There are also other tools around for validating sitemaps but the google webmaster tools would be the one to trust.

After much hacking about I figured out the problem.

This post offered a clue:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/getting-bbpress-and-wordpress-to-talk-to-each-other?replies=6#post-6068

It turns out that any global variables declared or set in header.php must also be set in the calling page. I added the following to the top of front_page.php and now the variables are properly set after calling bb_head().

<?php global $research_subscriber; // ‘1’ if user is research subscriber

global $forums_subscriber; // ‘1’ if user is forums subscriber

?>

The global variables don’t need to be set in the calling page in wordpress (single.php, search.php). I have no idea why bbpress handles this differently – must be in the way the header is called.

Much frustration. I hope someone finds this post useful.

This was my fault apparently.

Somehow the pluggable.php within bbpress was built 1074 when it absolutely needs 1075 to have the new wp_salt function.

So future note for integration to others:

to use the new WordPress 2.4/2.5 trunk

you MUST use bbpress build 1075

build 1074 and build 1076 will not integrate properly as is

I am not sure what is wrong with my config.php file..

this is a test forum which i am not finalising so i created a new database with new password and new user and updated the config.php file with the details…please tell me what is the problem..am copying the file here (pwd, akismet key, email have been removed)

correction: the cookie value is made from the user name | expiration time | key (where key is calculated from the username+expiration)

Essentially the expiration and therefore the key are changing and I don’t know why. The functions are based on time() so the timezone within bbpress vs wordpress should not matter. And the pluggable functions are identical between the programs.

[chrishajer]

“Put in a plugin” means:

1. create a new file with a text editor.

2. give it a name like “bb-restrict-new-topic.php”

3. create a header in the file that tells bbPress this file is a plugin, like this:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Restrict New Topic

Description: Restrict new topic creation by members

Version: 0.1

*/

4. put the text from that other page into the rest of the file.

5. be sure to close the file with a ?>

6. put that new file in your bb-plugins folder.

7. activate the plugin in your admin panel

8. test test test

I think the plugin file will look like this when you’re done.

I’ve got the newest bbpress and the newest WP setup and I managed to get them to share the same cookie name fairly easily.

However the cookie value changes between the two installs for reasons I cannot seem to figure out. One forces the other to logout because of this.

The cookie value seems to be made from the user name | expiration time | hash

Essentially the expiration and hash are changing and I don’t know why.

Logic tells me that the expiration is probably changing because of the hash changing? so why is the hash being calculated differently between the installs?

Does anyone else have the two trunks working together or am I the first guinea pig?

I’ve experienced this problem in 0.8.3.1. If you follow the password reset link you get emailed and then try to log in from that page you’ll get the key not found error. The reason is the ‘re’ value in the login form is getting set to that password reset link (bb-reset-password.php?key=xxxxxx) so when you log in bbPress bounces you back to that page (as it would do if you logged in from a specific topic) and now that the password has been reset, the key xxxxxx is no longer in the database and the ‘key not found’ error pops up.

The way I’ve worked around it is to do the following prior to calling login_form() on password-reset.php in my template:

<?php global $re; $re = bb_get_option(‘uri’); ?>

The trouble is that in the default template login_form() is in the header so you’ll need to set $re elsewhere or come up with another solution.

Hope that helps!

I posted too soon, my apologies. This looks to be exactly what I am looking for. I just hope I can figure out what “put in a plugin” means…

[purus]

Is it possible to designate one board as an announcement board where only admins can create new topics but anyone can view and reply to them?

I tried installing the Restrict Forums plugin but that was buggy and doesn’t seem to be supported any more. The Private Forums works great, but only hides a forum from view.

Are there any other plugins that I am missing that might be able to provide this functionality?

[_ck_]

Nice work.

Looks like there is “only” a 6k penalty on the browser side for the extra javascript and under 1k for the extra css. Bit of work on the server side but it may be worth it for a forum that deal with a lot of code being posted.

Be sure to submit it to the bbpress plugin browser

https://bbpress.org/plugins/add/

so it gets much more exposure.

[_ck_]

The trick would be doing it via ajax. Harder than it sounds.

Especially considering that bbpress’s ajax library is in flux from what I understand.

It’s easy to load the entire page including posts 15-74 and keep them hidden via css until clicked – this doesn’t even need a plugin – but the page load time and bloat, not to mention mysql load would be rather high.

[chrishajer]

I am running an older version (I forget what version it is now) and RSS feeds do not work for me. So, yes, I have noticed that problem as well. I have no idea why your feed would be blank:

http://bbpressraw.com/forums/rss.php

Is there an rss2.php in your template folder?

Also, I noticed a double forward slash in your source after the theme folder name. I doubt it has a negative effect, but it’s “just not right.”™

[purus]

Fantastic! That worked perfectly. Thanks so much guys.

[Graeme]

Has anyone experience an issue with the rss forum feed of recent posts being empty? I’ve checked my php logs and no errors are showing up. I’m running the latest version of bbPress installed in the /forums/ directory.

[tmeister]

Hi there,

Well, code highlighter its here. i love iG:Syntax Hiliter plugin for WP so i modified it to work in BBPress.

you can find it here

http://klr20mg.com/bbpress-syntax-highlighter-en/

Is the 0.1 Beta version.

Enjoy.

Cheers.

[chrishajer]

1. Looks like this is the correct URL:

http://test.nofullstop.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

2. Looks like the database connection details in config.php are incorrect:

Cannot select DB.

[tmeister]

umm..

The rigth address is:

http://test.nofullstop.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

Cheers

[salman1485]

Hi

I owe the domain nofullstop.com and I started a domain test.nofullstop.com

Then I set up a MySql database on the URL testforum.test.nofullstop.com

After this I changed the config-sample.php file to config.php and entered the required information in that file.

Now when I load http://test.nofullstop.com/bb-admin/install.php it shows a 404 error..??

what did I miss??

I upload the bbpress files to my root folder test.nofullstop.com/

please help quick…please

thank you
