I installed your plugin _ck_ but i when i activated it din’t auto inserted the math field in my registration page. Strange so i did it my self by inserting in my register.php / bbpress theme file the function:

<?php human_registration_test(); ?>

and then it worked ok.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I had already got to the stage of banging my head against the wall a few times because of this, but now it’s finally sorted out and my forums don’t throw up those nasty 404s when validating and being indexed by search engines.

Thanks, beaulebens!

Well, let’s see. Your forum is in a directory called bbpress:

http://redsunday.net/bbpress/

So line 17 in config.php should look like:

$bb->uri = 'http://redsunday.net/bbpress/';

Create a folder, call it whatever you want. Just be sure you access the URL with that folder name, and be sure line 17 has the same folder name. That’s really all there is to it.

Hi Gang

Thanks for the reply chrishajer, but the suggestion did not work I’m wondering if I’m putting things in the wrong directory? The config-sample.php file references the forum address as “http://my-cool-site.com/forums/”. I’ve tried putting the bbpress installation at the root level as well as in a folder called forums, but I still have the same problem. When I set-up the forum how should I handle line 17? Should I leave everything at the root level or should I create a new folder and put the instal there and have line 17 point there? Does an example file structure exist in a FAQ anywhere?

BTW, the style sheet and such exists, it is however not being used.

Thanks!

I found this so cool and wonder if it is ever possible with bbpress too. http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/simple-forum/

The only problem i find with that plugin is the speed. A little slow to load the forum page.

Hope to hear from all of you soon.

Hi,

iam using the Private Forums Plugin with bbPress in wich i created two Forums. The first one should be visible to all, unregisterd and registered members. The second one should be private. But if I want to set the Restriced Role from the second forum to “Registered Members” or higher, then the first forum didn’t appear to for all visitors who are under the Restriction Role setting. Do you have any ideas?

thanks,

Jan

Hi,

I just installed bbPress and integrated it to my WordPress Site. It’s wonderful! But i have a Problem…

I want to create a second forum, so i go to content -> forums and fill in the two forms under “Add Forum”. After clicking the Add Button I get the Error Message that i dont have the permissions to create a Forum? How could this be? I’am logged in as admin, as key master. Do you have any ideas?

thanks,

Jan

Hi there,

Anyone know how to register users using foreign characters, such as Å, Ä or Ö?

When users on my bbPress register, the name might be “mårten”, but will be added to database as “mrten” instead.

Tips anyone?

[stereopoly]

Hey guys,

I’ve almost finished installing my bbpress on http://www.stereopoly.de/forum but there’s one thing doing wrong: The permalinks. I want to use pretty permalinks, but obviously my server does not support the easy .htaccess thingy (Multi Views).. Thus I have to run http://www.stereopoly.de/forum/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php right? But if i do so, I will get to the homepage (stereopoly.de/forum)

Any idea, how to solve this problem?

sorry for my bad english, i’m just german

cheers

Hi

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to solve this. I installed the forum at http://www.redsunday.net and got the message that the instal was successful, but when I try to open the page at http://www.redsunday.net/forums/ (the URL I got via e-mail) I get a 404 error. I can open the admin page at http://www.redsunday.net/bbpress/ but nothing works. The only thing weird about the instal was that I had to change the location of the MySQL database from localhost to the name of a different server, it seems my ISP (GoDaddy) set things up a little different then most. Can anybody suggest a fix?

Thanks!

Hello, I noticed a small issue with BBPress that I have. When a topic has been super stickied it no longer shows up in its original forum. It only appears on the front page. Was this how super-stickies were intended to function? I would think that it should appear on the home page as well as within its original forum. Just a tip!

Thanks

I imported the wordpress functions I need but get_the_ID() from wordpress doesn;t seem to work in bbpress. Is there a bbpress function that does the same thing? It gives you the index number of posts or comments or whatever that is currently being printed by the system

[darkling235]

Is there a normal process or formula for converting a wordpress plugin to a bbpress plugin? Let’s say that it uses all the same tables and everything? Is there a way to switch it over or do you just have to re-engineer it?

[darkling235]

Ok I get it now thanks

[chrishajer]

DON’T do that!

You want bbPress and WordPress to have different table prefixes in their respective config. bb_ and wp_ , the defaults, are fine. If you try to use the same table prefix, some of the WordPress tables get destroyed due to a collision between table names because both software packages now use the same table prefix (posts , usermeta and users tables, I believe.)

What are you trying to accomplish that requires you to use the same tables for WordPress and bbPress? If you are looking for integration, this is not how you do it. With an integrated install, you still use a different table prefix for bbPress but you insert your WordPress table prefix in the bbPress config.php a little further down in the file. Then, bbPress modifies the existing wp_users and possibly wp_usermeta table.

I’m trying to use the same database and tables for wordpress and bbpress but they don’t merge painlessly.

I set the table prefix in bbpress’s config to wp_ and set the database to be the same as wordpress’s. I also set the wp_prefix in bbpress’s config.

Then I tried to start bbpress but it threw a bunch of exceptions and now it will not save new posts. Can anyone help me?

I enclose it’s exceptions

Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

bbPress database error: [Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD COLUMN post_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment



bbPress database error: [Key column 'post_id' doesn't exist in table]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD PRIMARY KEY (post_id)



bbPress database error: [The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD FULLTEXT KEY post_text (post_text)



1. Created table wp_forums

2. Created table wp_topics

3. Created table wp_topicmeta

4. Created table wp_tags

5. Created table wp_tagged

6. Changed default value of wp_posts.post_status from publish to 0

7. Added column wp_posts.post_id

8. Added column wp_posts.forum_id

9. Added column wp_posts.topic_id

10. Added column wp_posts.poster_id

11. Added column wp_posts.post_text

12. Added column wp_posts.post_time

13. Added column wp_posts.poster_ip

14. Added index wp_posts FULLTEXT KEY post_text (post_text)

15. Added index wp_users UNIQUE KEY user_login (user_login)



bbPress database error: [Field 'post_content' doesn't have a default value]

INSERT INTO wp_posts (forum_id, topic_id, poster_id, post_text, post_time, poster_ip, post_status, post_position) VALUES ('1', '1', '1', '



First Post! w00t.

','2008-02-22 15:10:39', '127.0.0.1', '0', 1)



bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'post_id' in 'field list']

SELECT post_id, poster_id FROM wp_posts WHERE topic_id = 1 AND post_status = 0 ORDER BY post_time



bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'post_id' in 'where clause']

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_id = 0



Finished!

I am a new user, but if I had the time this would be a good first plug-in write for me. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time. Sooo, if anyone does have the time and interest, a very useful plug-in would place a button at the bottom of every post that says something like “Report Abuse”. If someone sees spam in a post or foul language, etc., they click on this link and a report is sent to the moderator.

This is used in many large forums I use and could help control misuse of a bbPress forum.

Thank you

PS I posted this in another thread before it occurred to me to start a new topic.

You’re almost there. You need to either turn on multiviews or rewrite rules in your htaccess file if you want to use slugs. See #2 or #3 here:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/

I recommend #3 even though it’s a few more steps.

Some servers don’t even support multiviews so #3 is a must.

Just installed/activated your “Human Test” plug-in. I am using bbPress version 0.8.3.1. Everything works fine. No issues.

Thank you.

By the way, I heard of WordPress for the first time on Sunday, found it a few minutes later, installed it a few minutes after that and input two years of articles I had written that same day. I installed a few plug-ins the next day and then found bbPress. Installed that the same day (Monday). It was working fine and found a matching template for both WordPress and bbPress the next day (Wednesday). With very little tweaking (mostly my errors) and no visits to the WordPress or bbPress forums for help, I am up and running with a very presentable, professional looking, and fully functional blog/user forum. Absolutely incredible!!! I am notifying my subscribers later this morning about their new resource via email. Not bad for four days of work.

Thank you good folks behind WordPress and bbPress!

Whoops, guess you need to actually post something first before the RSS works! Duh! Anyway, all is well again here in MasterDATA land.

By the way, although I didn’t need to do any of this (I already had when installing), the following link here in the bbPress forum may be helpful to those still dealing with the issue noted in this thread:

Using RSS Feeds

Good luck!

I have the same problem. Think I asked S010 over at trac (https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/633#comment:14) about this, but I havn’t seen no answer …

I just downloaded/installed bbPress yesterday and page comes up blank when clicking “RSS” in Profile. Help is appreciated.

Tank you.
