I just downloaded bbPress today from its site, so I’m assuming it is the most recent. I’ve started from scratch and now I’ve what is probably a more recognizable error message but still not one I know how to handle, although I’ll search for it in the forum:

Cannot select DB

[chrishajer]

That’s not a database connection error at all, and I haven’t see it before. What version bbPress did you install and what is your server setup?

Hi you want to see this.

Is my Post Preview Plugin ready enough?

See ya..

[tmeister]

Hi there.

I am working in a post preview plugin. you can see it here http://www.klr20mg.com/dev/bbpress/.

I dont know if that is enough to release a beta version.

The plugin only sends the textArea text, applies filters and shows the text using ajax.

The preview only works with replies and has no design at all .

What you think?

see ya.

I should add that I have a couple of WordPress Blogs successfully installed and have used the same db settings cut and pasted from them to the bbpress config.php file.

When I attempt to the install.php phase, the config.php file text loads onto the browser finalized with this error message:

Fatal error: Class bb_walker_forumadminlistitems: Cannot inherit from undefined class bb_walker in /home/cust2/user1080446/html/bbpress/bb-admin/admin-functions.php on line 582

I’ve monkeyed around with it for a while now and I’m not getting anywhere.

Thanks

(which if I remember from my signatures plugin has no action hook unfortunately and templates will need to be edited)

No, there’s been hooks for the post form for as long as I can remember.

• pre_post_form
• post_form
• post_post_form

Charlie: ticking off boxes because other software ticks those boxes is feature creep. Goes against, as you say, what bbpress is about. And even if it didn’t, it makes no sense; feature ideas should be evaluated on their own merits. I’m not saying attachments shouldn’t make it in (personally, I don’t much like file attachments), but that you can make a much much better case for it than saying that it’s a square on the Forum Matrix that bbpress doesn’t have.

[charliestout]

I can’t speak for the world at large, but I think that many people might be passing up a great product (bbpress) because they are looking for forum software with a few more “essential” features. A great number of other forum packages on the ForumMatrix offer multiple file attachments, and while I agree with the developer’s dream of keeping this thing nice and lite and agile, I think anytime a red X on the ForumMatrix is eliminated, it increases the overall appeal of bbpress to the forum dev community.

HowToGeek, I don’t know how much use I’d be to you as a coder, but I’m willing to do whatever I can to help you start a plugin like this.

I’m running the plugins listed below. However, even after deactivating every other plugin, the duplication issue with bbSync is still occurring.

Akismet 2.1.3

All in One Adsense and YPN 1.5

bbPress Integration 0.74

bbSync 0.94

Collapsible Archive Widget 2.1.2

dTabs 1.1

TubePress 1.5.7

Ultimate Google Analytics 1.6.0

wp-forecast 1.4

It’s fairly easy to test loading/decoding times using firefox+fasterfox or firebug but there are plenty of studies around the web if you want nitty-gritty details:

a quick search:

http://batiste.dosimple.ch/blog/2007-07-02-1/

jquery with simple whitespace removal and variable name shrinking, *not* actual compression, sent via a server with proper gzip support (mod_gzip, apache2, litespeed, etc) is always fastest. Packed is always the worst. Not only that, packed has to be unpacked for EVERY page load. It’s never ready to run. So it uses more browser memory, and has a delay *every* time.

By the way, what does jquery actually do within bbpress’s topics for regular users? I don’t get it, there’s no javascript actions. bbpress used to have ajax posting but that was removed a long time ago (it should come back sometime…)

If you absolutely must distribute bbpress (and wordpress) with jquery in a more compressed form, please use the jsmin version but definitely not the packed version.

Hi folks… Love this software. The style and vibe just can’t be beat!

I’ve been running bbPress for about 6 weeks. I have received many complaints about registration emails not coming. I finally tracked down the following error in the Sendmail logs:

stat=Data format error

The frustrating part is that it is intermittent. Sometimes I see ‘stat=Sent (OK…’ and the user gets the email. Many times, no email.

Has anyone seen this? Any idea why this is happening?

Hi Guys,

This is prob a very simple thing to do, but after hours of scouring the forums I still can’t find the solution. I have bbpress installed with wordpress, I’ve done all the back-end integration, I know that front-end integration is possible but I’ll leave that for another day. So how do you go about creating a hyper-link on bbpress that will redirect users back to my wordpress blog ? All I need is just a simple link-type button.

Thanks!

Fir

Where can you download this plugin??? This link in the plugin repository does not work:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/avatar-upload.0.8.3.zip

It gives me a 404 File Not Found message

[morganoconnell]

Sounds similar to my situation. All posts are appearing fine in bbPress (from the forum and blog comments). However, in WordPress I only see several duplicates of the most recent comment.

If I deactivate the bbSync plugin all the blog comments are displayed as normal.

Anyone know how to resolve this?

http://www.madmtb.com/wordpress

Wordpress 2.3.3

bbPress 0.8.3.1

[howtogeek]

That really should work… you might try adding a RewriteBase to it. Do you have a regular .htaccess for bbpress already?

[_ck_]

But WP 2.4 should be out in March perhaps?

So it would be a nice co-release at that time.

I’ve got the two trunks purring along together, though I had to smack WP into submission to reduce the default mysql queries per page (27 for the default install with a single test post is a little high, wouldn’t you say?) Still trying to figure out if I can disable the new tag system in WP to reduce the load further.

I’ve now made an early 0.0.1 openid plugin available:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/openid

[benbeltran]

@ __ck__: I was planning on tackling this, since I just love OpenID. But it would be nice to also offer support for phpMyID (http://siege.org/projects/phpMyID/). That’s what I use to make my own domain, my openID.

[a-bishop]

Why doesn’t bbPress allow to login users already logged to WP? I can see them in the list of my forum users (a-bishop.com e.g.). But when I try to login, bb-login.php strips the dot and login name becomes “a-bishopcom”.

[a-bishop]

Guys, and what about OpenID? My users are able to login to WordPress, but bbPress just strips all dots while trying to login. E.g. WP login: a-bishop.com, bb Login page shows a-bishopcom and says that password is incorrect. How can we fix it?

[edwinfoo]

Thank you so much for replying and posting such valuable information.

You’ll be pleased to know that I followed your tips and got a local hosting company (in Australia) that are just a phone call away without having to listen to Santana while on hold for 40 minutes.

The transfer went smoothly and the DNS propogated in like 5 hours. It all went pretty good.

Before the migration, my site had been without email for 4 days because the old host (IX Webhosting) was so fucking useless. I am pleased to report that the site is generating as much email as a spammers computer.

Thank you again

awsome t hanks for your help i just hate db’s so much

Unfortunately there are cookie and password hash incompatibilities between 1075 and the current release of WordPress. Otherwise we probably would release it.

[_ck_]

Build 1075 has gotten pretty good on the nearly auto-install part.

It’s smarter than previous versions.

Since it’s password compatible with WordPress 2.4, if no other build is public-ready by then, I’d suggest releasing 1075 as bbPress 0.8.4 to somewhat match numbers.

Hi, I did a brazilian portuguese translation for last version of bbPress. Portugal users can use it too since I cared about using words used for Brazilian and Portugal Portuguese language.
