Awh, thanks! Well not sure about “vigilant” as I wax and wane here as I have the time and energy but I try to help when I can. Hope it’s helping someone! bbPress installs seem to have doubled since October 2007 so that’s probably a good sign… appreciate the hugs, I needed that…

ps. that would be guys and gals!

I joined IRC #bbpress last night, and a kind soul figured it out.

It was all because of the plugin. After installing the plugin, all went great.

#chrishajer; on my server, the admin-tool lets me turn glob on and off. “off default”

and, it IS an error when I cant login

This plugin-problem should be in the FAQ.

Thank you both..

I would like to, but the plugin I am using is restricted to WPMU exclusively (not normal wordpress) and was purchased through WPMUDEV Premium services and the copyright is so that you have to pay them to use it.

If you are looking at a combination avatar plugin, have you searched google for “wordpress bbpress common avatar” or something similar? Have you checked out the plugin directory to see what is offered here for avatars up and above the “service” company avatars like gravatar?

It works!

Thanks Chris! It seems I was uploading the contents of the bbpress folder *and* the bbpress folder itself to the website. Once I uploaded just the contents of the bbpress folder it worked fine. Oh well, live and learn.

Hi Trent,

thanks for your reply. I’am using this plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/private-forums/

The hide-option is checked, and tested in both themes. The unregistered user can only Enter the Forums flagged “open for all” but that is useless when they cant see them

Not sure if anyone has done it, but maybe start by looking at the way it pulls wordpress users from another database?

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

Trent

[Trent Adams]

It can be done as I am using a custom avatar plugin that I use with my wpmu install that pulls the avatar from the wpmu side when comparing the user id from bbPress and the wpmu user (as they are the same with integration).

In terms of normal wordpress, I am not sure if one exists. I know lots have used gravatar or mybloglog as their base avatar system (myself included) just to make integration easier

[Trent Adams]

I think the majority of this problem is that the array is returning false unless you have a plugin with an underscore. There is a TRAC ticket for this issue, but installing the following temporarily fixed things for me:

Sounds like glob has been turned of by the system administrator. You can fix it.

Hi, I’m having the same problem. I’m running bbPress 0.8.3 with allow-images, fix bbPress, notification, and private-forums plugins. Except for the problem (below), everything is running fine.

Basically, if a regular member clicks “ADD NEW” link on the front page of the forum, their Pick a Section dropdown list is blank, and if they go ahead and submit the new post form, they get an error that the forum topic is closed.

If same user clicks on a forum and posts from there – works fine. If an adminstrator clicks from front page, it works fine. If I deactivate the private-forums plugin, it works fine.

Can anyone suggest a way to fix this? Besides deactivating private forums,that is.

[saintmain]

Damnit, I was so looking forward to using bbpress. Im a big fan of wordpress, and I love that its so simple to mod. but there seems to be some problems with this board, and I can figure it out.

On the wery first page when installing, I get this messege;

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /customers/cobain.dk/cobain.dk/httpd.www/bbpress/bb-settings.php on line 169

Im able to install just fine, but when I try to log in, I get this;

They certainly deserve the free hugs, and more.

If it wasn’t for the two (and of course many others who have helped here and there) I don’t think I would have got as far with bbPress as I have on my website. I just keep wondering how they find the time to be so helpful!

Thanks, guys!

Hi

I have installed bbpress at http://www.forums.mbapursuit.com , Earlier I was using YABB. Is there any way to import all the yabb data such as users, pots and categories from my YABB forum to BBpress.

Thank You

The past couple weeks, I have noticed that nearly every time I access the forums here at http://bbpress.org/forums/ I need to log in. It didn’t used to be like that. It seemed like the cookie lasted for months.

When I look at the cookies after logging in here, I have two bb_org session cookies, plus:

name: bb_org_user

value: chrishajer

There is no bb_org_pass cookie.

When I look at cookies for a non-integrated 0.8.3.1 install, I see:

name: bb_user_838717f68fe05f4ed4c22bc08ae180c8

value: chrishajer

name: bb_pass_838717f68fe05f4ed4c22bc08ae180c8

value: 6429e15ef02ba9f2d7a89cab0ed845a4

(values slightly obfuscated)

Any idea what’s going on? It’s no problem to just log in again, but it wasn’t like that before, and I don’t think it’s intended to work like this.

I cleared all the domain cookies and logged in again, but the cookies are the same. Anyone else seeing the same thing? BTW, using Firefox 2.0.0.12 on Windows XP.

[darkling235]

You probably could but I think retroengineering the plugin to work in both wordpress and bbpress would be more trouble than its worth. My site just uses two very simple avatar plugins that work basically the same, 68-gravatar and 4avatars. I know one plugin would be simpler to maintain but I think the amount of work required to make it function in both would be counter productive unless you had a really good reason to want the same one in both

[Sam Bauers]

I just wanted to take a second to acknowledge a couple of people who have been doing some real heavy lifting around here to keep everyone up and running with bbPress.

chrishajer and _ck_ have been super-vigilant helping all-comers on the forums in the past few months and I just wanted to publicly thank them for the time they have volunteered helping to grow the bbPress community.

Thanks guys!

[saintmain]

think I found it.. cant see why bbpress not simply makes mysql standart, if it works just as well.

It is a standard installation, no language or mod.

I have installed WordPress on the same server but not in the same folder, is that a problem?

Im using PHP4, should I upgrade to PHP5 to make bbpress work?

The server has “PHP – Register globals” set to OFF.

*update. php5 is now installed on the server, still ampty site

[chrishajer]

That looks like a server error, probably error code 500. Hard to say since the errors are not shown in the browser. If you have access to error logs, finding the problem will be easier.

Did you try to integrate bbPress and WordPress? Are you using a different language file? Anything else modified from a standard installation?

[chrishajer]

I believe this new error has to do with translations when you try to combine WordPress and bbPress:

wordpress integrate problem when enable BBLANG

Searching these forums for streamreader turns up lots of similar error messages.

[saintmain]

I installed bbpress today, and the installation worked out great.

After installing, I went on to log in using my new password. then came up an empty site, all white.

I then uninstalled it and deleted the db, I reinstalled it, and the same thing happened?!

I cant quite fugure out whats wrong.

[stereopoly]

Heya,

i’ve installed a wordpress plugin for avatars which is integrated into my wordpress by the following code:

<?php if(function_exists(cmd_show_avatar)) cmd_show_avatar(avatar); ?>

Is there any possibility to embed this code into my bbpress just for showing the wordpress avatar (because of saying my bbpress to require wp-blog-header in the config.php)?

[stereopoly]

Hey guys,

i’d love to integrate my bbpress ( http://www.stereopoly.de/forum ) into my wordpress ( http://www.stereopoly.de ), but when saying to fetch the wp-blog-header (even when taking an absolute link, my bbpress is completely giving up its job and says

Failed opening required ‘http://www.stereopoly.de/wp-blog-header.php’

this is what my bbpress’ config.php last lines look like:

/* Stop editing */



if ( !defined('BBPATH') )

define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );

require_once( 'http://www.stereopoly.de/wp-config.php' );

require_once( 'http://www.stereopoly.de/wp-blog-header.php' );

require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );



?>

can anyone please help!?

[chrishajer]

If you have access to a log file, check to see what the fatal error was, or temporarily configure your webserver to echo errors to the browser, or redirect them to a file. A fatal error can be anything: you need to know specifically what the error is to have a chance at fixing it.
