Aha! That error string comes from a much older version of the plugin — please can you try installing the latest version and see if you still have errors?

Latest Version: 0.8.3

thanks _ck_

But the problem is that if i logged in into my WP Site and go to the Forums my login form shows up instead of the welcome message.

But if i go directly to a forum typing “forum.php?id=2” i see the forum, can make new topics and instead of the login form i see the welcome message.

So it seems like the cookies are set and working correct with bbpress but the view has any problems… same problem in the standard Theme. Private Forums Plugin is not the problem. I try to edit the config files like in the other threads but that doesn’t help and I installed all integration Plugins for bb and wp.

Thanks for the pointer to the “Custom Profile Fields” plugin, never saw it before.

As for the “Use Display Name” plugin, I think that only works on a WordPress-integrated install, and I’m trying to get it to work on a BBPress only site. Any ideas?

[chrishajer]

TJworld, did you try sambauers plugin:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13337

And is it just registration emails with the password people are not receiving?

[chrishajer]

There is a “Use Display Name” plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/

There was also a “Custom Profile Fields” plugin, but I don’t know if it still works or is being maintained:

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress did you download? I can’t match up those line numbers at all.

Hi on the main page of bbpress i have got this error message

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/web316/html/ps-t/bb-settings.php on line 294

and when i want to login this

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/web316/html/ps-t/bb-settings.php on line 294

I’ve just encountered this with 0.8.3.1. As the mail server administrator I was getting delivery failure notifications which reported that the receiving SMTP host had rejected the email with:

<xxxxx@aol.com>: host mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57] said: 501 SYNTAX

ERROR IN PARAMETERS OR ARGUMENTS (in reply to MAIL FROM command)

I increased logging on Postfix and tested it and found:

mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57]: MAIL FROM:<yyyyyyyy@localhost>

mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57]: 501 SYNTAX ERROR IN PARAMETERS OR ARGUMENTS

Where ‘yyyyyyyy’ is the mail server’s local user account for the domain doing the sending.

It looks as if the AOL server is rejecting the @localhost part of the MAIL FROM field. I’ve looked in the bbPress config.php and in the administration options of the dashboard but can’t see why bbPress is using localhost.

Wow _ck_ is so fast at giving answers.

[rkudeshi]

I am trying to transition from an Invision Power Board-hosted forum to a BBPress version, but need a few features to ensure all features are kept in the new version.

Basically, I want people to be able to add more information to their profile information. Occupation and location aren’t relevant to me, but other things (its for a college discussion forum, so year and major are more helpful) would be.

It’s a bit of a tangent, but I also would like to have one of the added fields (Real Name) be the primary name displayed in threads, but I figure that’s another project for another day — alternatively, is there a plugin to allow individuals to change their display name?

Thanks so much for your help everyone!

Thanks for posting that _ck_.

How can download this theme… access denied. Hosed up. Gawd.

Registration is closed for a while… sorry!

[michaelklasno]

I have a bbpress installed and working but I don’t get new user notifications. This is a stand alone application.

Any help?

Michael

[darkling235]

does anyone know the bbpress equivalent of wordpress’s get_bloginfo function?

Thanks

If you don’t know how to use irc,

it’s probably better to stick to the forums.

Hello,

First of all, I would like to extend my thanks for this great and simple tool. I have been modifying the initial theme of my bbpress from its installation earlier today. Now the only thing which has me stumped, is how can I change the alternating background color (the white and green background), so that lets say I can change the white into another color?

If its in the style.css section, I cant find it.

[chrishajer]

If people need more immediate help, can they go to the bbPress IRC channel, and how would they do that?

[Sam Bauers]

It probably has to do with your older version of bbPress, but I’d like to fix the problem on your version anyway.

Can you fid out what the error is in your PHP error log and post it here?

I’ll fix it and release a new version for you to try.

Currently I can get around the problem by making a short post:

Then editing that post

Well, assuming I succeed in what I’m attempting, I will release it as an open source plugin for wordpress…

But since I’ve had to make one hack to the bbPress core, it will unfortunately require one small bbPress core change.

So, I’ll keep working on it, and post more here once I’ve made more progress.

[triipriit]

Oh man. This is way too advanced for me.

This site I’m doing is my first WordPress attempt and all of my previous websites have been static html.. So PHP is new to me and globals, functions etc. are brand new termins…

I actually, at first, thought that: integration=embed bbpress in WP.

I never thought this would be so complicated.

[Onion]

Still new to bbpress. Sometimes any text post I make will not show. It will update the thread, and increase the post count, but the post does not show.

I don’t have spam filter on. Post doesn’t show up in admin control panel.

Happens sometimes when I copy and paste into the post. (even if its just plain text)

Does it from the admin account and another test account.

When I come back later, and it works fine.

Any, ideas?

In the interest of sharing what I’ve learned so far, let me describe what I want to do, and what I’ve accomplished so far.

1) I want to have a stand alone instance of bbPress running on my site that shows ALL the forums.

2) I want to embed a single forum into a wordpress blog (actually a wordpressmu blog– but there’s nothing mu specific about my work so far)

3) I want the forums to share the same DB, so if a topic is updated inside of my blog, I also see it updated in the standalone Forum.

4) I want to be able to essentially allow the bbPress template functions to work inside of a wp page or post… ideally I’d like to implement a simple function like “embedd_bbpress_forum()” on a page template and have it display a fully functioning bbPress instance in the page.

5) I want to use the chrome/theme from wordpress for the header, sidebar, footer, etc… but I also want to support the basic bbpress template structure as well.

So far I have this working about 90%…

What I’ve done is build a WP-plugin, that “includes” bbpress/bb-load.php. And implements a couple functions for embedding the bbpress instance in a page or post or where ever you call the embed functions.

Things that are working:

* forum home page

* topic pages

* new topic

* comments

* profile pages

* favorites

Things that aren’t working yet:

* ajax — none of the ajax stuff is working properly yet…

* some pages that use wp_redirect – because of how I’m embedding in wordpress, the headers are already sent before I have a chance to do the redirect, so… some functions that rely on this are reporting errors.

How I did this so far:

* declare GOBALS!!! – This is the biggest “sneaky trick” – basically, most of bbPress is implemented outside of a function or class context, and so the “local” variables on the bbPress pages are actually global in context. Since I’m wrapping these into a wp-pluing, I need to declare them as explicitly global. If I get all the globals right, then bbPress just works.

* turn off mod_rewrite support in bbPress… since I want my pages to get handled by WordPress, the URL needs to end at the same location of the wordpress page, this means that my forum page has a url something like:

http://mydomain.com/blog/forumpage/?command=topic.php&id=1

Notice I introduced the concept of the “command” parameter, that my plugin then uses as a dispatcher to “load” (include) the right bbPress file. MOSTLY bbPress will do the rest of it’s work from the URL params.

* Lots of filters – I’ve implemented several filters for URL remapping so that bbPress will override the standard link formation to point to my new embedded page urls

* A COUPLE HACKS – the only hard part I’ve had to hack so far relates to bbPress’s get_bb_location() function. This function appears to be a bit of bbPresses standard “dispatcher” which tells the rest of bbPress what type of page it’s supposed to be rendering. The only problem with this approach is that in my instance of the code base it does all this logic based on PHP_SELF, SCRIPT_FILENAME, or SCRIPT_NAME… which will be pointing to my wordpress files. I made a small change to add a new filter that allows me to pull out my command param and do the bb_location determination from that.

Has anyone else attempted this? Have they gotten further? Is there an easier way?

Mostly this isn’t a lot of code, it’s just discovering how to make it work and testing that everything works as planned.
