This would take care of the anonymous posting I think:

Not sure on the CAPTCHA.

[mcarrera]

Hi,

I need to create a board for a group of people that don’t want to bother with registration, login, lost password, etc.

So, I would allow guests to post, asking them to verify they are human with a CAPTCHA.

Can I do all the following with bbpress??

Thanks !

[chrishajer]

They DO become links automatically, unless the URL is not well formed. Then maybe bbPress can’t handle it. Why not try posting a URL here that does not work at your forum to see if it works here. I will post a URL to google here without markup and let’s see if it is made clickable:

http://www.google.com

I had installation problems when I first installed bbpress integrated with my wp and followed the instructions in this thread:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/errors-in-installphp-line-10-and-functionsphp-line-1898

Now I can get in my forums, but NOT as administrator (at least I don’t see any admin panel) and nothing will open. Any link I click goes to a 404 error page.

I do not have my pretty permalinks on now. I DID orginally have them set to ‘slugs’m but changed that to ‘false’ after reading through the above mentioned post.

You’ll see an update on the above thread that says I couldn’t open any pagesin wo either now, but that has been resolved. Apparently when I installed bbpress, it enabled my pretty permalinks in wp? I don’t know for sure, but I found that setting in my wp admin dashboard and turned it off ~ so now my wp pages are opening again. My bbpress pages are still not, though.

When I installed, I pre-made the my-plugins and my-templates and I put the wp integration plugins in that folder ~ then I uploaded everything and ran my install.php file.

I amreally hoping to make this work because I feel like my site visitors would be mych happier being able to sign in just once to the blog and the forums on my site ~~~ and because I think I can probably create a template that follows the rest of my site. Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!

hello all.

I have tried some search about this but did not find anything.

I’d need the new users on a bbPress forum to be set to Inactive by default.

the reason is I need to set up a forum for an experiment in secondary schools. we have to take in account the possibility of rude behavior from people not participating to the experiment.

the administrator is not likely to be very present on line, so it would be a problem if anybody could just register and start posting indesiderable contents, that could sit there for a while.

a temporary fix would be setting the default role for users to Inactive (the administrator then has the possibility to verify that the user is really who he say to be). I’ve tried to look into the code, but was not able to figure it out how to do it. hints would be welcomed.

another option (the one I’m currently adopting) is removing the register function and putting something like “write to this email address if you want to be registered”, then using this plugin to allow administrator to add users:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-add-user/

but this is not how really we want it to be. an example of it is the “candidate” system used in vanilla forum: you candidate yourself to be a member of the forum, and if admin agree then you’re in. (why then not using vanilla? because there’s a graphic customization people have worked into, and we are running very short on deadline, say the url is in this morning newspaper… ).

I’d also be grateful for any other suggestions.

Hi, i have a wordpress integrated bbpress forum (sharing the same database and users) and everything works great except 95% of the time the forum pages come up as “404 – Page Not Found” errors when using IE7. This only happens in IE as i’ve tested things in Safari, Firefox and Opera on both a mac and PC and have no problems at all. The Internet Explorer 404 errors happen when trying to load any forum page, including all admin screens. Once in a while a page might load up proper and usually you can get the 404 to go away on a page if you sit there and refresh it about 6 or 7 or 30 times.

The main wordpress backed site (2.3.3) is domain.com and the bbpress install (0.8.3.1) is in domain.com/bbpress. To try and track down the problem, i did a seperate install in domain.com/bbpress2 using a separate database, not the WP one, and this weird IE only problem starts happening as soon as i add the require_once(‘/home/content/domain/html/wp-blog-header.php’); bit to the top of the bbpess config.

The wordpress site itself works just fine in IE7 and never serves up these seemingly random 404 errors, its just the forum that is the problem. Any help figuring out what could possibly be causing this would be extremely appreciated! This strange error is driving me nuts, i hate IE!

Hi everyone.

This is a simple question about bbpress, I wanna you can help me,thanks.

As you know,bbpress supports some HTML markup such as ‘a’/’ul’/’li’,etc,but the urls in the text become plain text but not hyperlinks,unless I add the HTML markup’‘ manual.I think it’s stupid like this.Why not let the urls become the hyperlinks itself,but not become plain text?

[jompen8]

amazing ty so much!

BUT I discorverd a new big problem doh

Look here:

http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/

whatever i click on, for example the thread “Your first topic” , I came to my wordpress site

I dont want that ;/ All this problems. I´m sorry but if u can help me for the 111 time i would be so happy.

Is it something with the config-file again?

Best Regards

Johan

How about this for getting bbPress to look like WordPress:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/getting-same-header-footer-and-background-color-as-wordpress

You can also search the forum for integration or browse the integration tag. There have been some good tutorials posted but I can’t find them right now.

[chrishajer]

Regarding the glob thing – you are going to need the same sort of fix for the glob anywhere it’s used in bbPress since your host disabled it. You would have to grep through all the code and say something like:

if ( function_exists( 'glob' ) && is_callable( 'glob' ) ) {

whatever test that used to use glob;

}

Not sure the best way to deal with that.

[jompen8]

Doh:

I got this error when i clicked on Site management on bbpress:

Warning: glob() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/vol2/byethost13.com/b13_1521748/htdocs/wordpress/bbpress/bb-admin/plugins.php on line 7

maybe u know ,chrishajer?

Is it something i can download like the fisrt erro I got?

[rosebud]

I would like to know if there is a particular template tag to check (in profile for example) what user that profile belongs to.

i.e if is user id=x then do sth.

It might sound strange, given that the profile already takes care of this. But I need to add some data to only a few users, and that data can’t be “user-editable”. If this could be done with the custom profile fields plugin (add some fields which are only admin editable) then, please, instruct me.

Otherwise, I just need to hardcode the data for these few users.

Thanks in advance.

[chrishajer]

Yes, the URL is wrong in the config. The URL should be http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/ for the location of your bbPress installation, and http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress for the location of your WordPress installation (if you are planning on integrating user logins.)

The link or button you put in your WordPress installation should point here: http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/. You can delete page 24 in WordPress (unless you want to use a WordPress redirect plugin to have an actual WordPress page, so the link appears easily in your navigation – just redirect it to http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/).

Once that is all sorted, you will have a forum installation accessible from WordPress, but it will look nothing like your blog theme. There’s more work involved in making that happen, copying over the header and footer and sidebar and making the forum look like the blog. It’s all doable, it just takes time and energy and some CSS and HTML skills (maybe some PHP too.)

First get it in the proper location, accessible at the proper URL, then worry about getting it to look like you want. Because bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress, it is not going to look like your blog pages at all without some work.

[chrishajer]

A moderator will come along (Trent) and delete that. He hasn’t logged in in a while. There’s not much else you can do at this point.

[jompen8]

oh I missed your message before my last one.

“It looks like you made bbPress a page inside your WordPress installation?”

Yes, I´m afraid.

So maybe the full-url is wrong in the config-file? Do I have to reinstall the whole thing then? And what should the full-url-thing be next time.

I tested right now to create a page (the URL to my forum) and that worked But as u see u cant do anything when u are there.

I´m really confused right now,doh.

I just want to have a forum, a link to it in the menu, it should be integrated (not just for itself, it should be like a new page)

Is this possible? its feels hopeless.

//Johan

[chrishajer]

At this URL I see a blank forum WordPress page that has a title of “Forum”:

http://jompen8.byethost13.com/?page_id=24

That’s not how it works. You need to have the bbPress directory inside the WordPress folder. It looks like WordPress runs the whole site, so your forum will be available at http://jompen8.byethost13.com/bbpress/ .

To get to the forum, you need to make a link in your navigation to “Forum” (just like there is now) but it won’t be a WordPress page, it will just be the URL of your forum (http://jompen8.byethost13.com/forum/).

bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress and it won’t look like your WordPress installation (with header, footer, sidebar and style) unless you do some work.

[chrishajer]

That’s the best setup for integration, with the bbPress directory a subdirectory of the WordPress directory. The thing that threw me was that this is still a valid (if somewhat broken) URL:

http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/

I think the integration needs to happen up front, in the config.php, since an integrated install modifies the wp_users table and does not create a bb_users table. I’m not sure if you can go back and edit the config to make it integrated later. I don’t think it would work since the table creation and modification are done upon installation.

[chrishajer]

It looks like you made bbPress a page inside your WordPress installation? I’d say that’s incorrect in your config. Or, does that page_id 24 just redirect to a forum URL??

[jompen8]

Thank u ! the installation worked!

BUT! I have one problem:

I wanted my forum to be at http://jompen8.byethost13.com/?page_id=24/

but i cant see it there?! ( at the page called “forum” )

Instead it is here at http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/

Do you know what i have done wrong? Plz help me !

can it be something with that full-url in my config.php file here :

<?php

Morgan. The only plugin we have in common is bbPress Integration. I didnt install its counter part on the bbPress side untill after things started getting wonky.

Is there an uninstall method for bbsync? I wouldn’t mind uninstalling and starting over.

This is a sideproject I’ve been working on for a while that I put into production very recently. It’s a web site for students where they can collaborate on assignments, share work, get work reviewed, ask questions etc. When I was an undergrad I always wanted a site like this; unfortunately, there really wasn’t one available. So, once I graduated (about 2 months ago), I decided to start putting one together.

The site is run on BBPress. The theme is completely custom, and it required lots of tweaking – both to template files and to some core files to get it to work more or less how I wanted. If you have any questions about how I did something with this theme let me know.

Also, if I may plug it, I had an idea for a unique advertising model (I think) that I couldn’t let go to waste – inspired by the million dollar homepage by Alex Tew… the entire background of the site is available as adspace for a measly $64.00 per square… the ads would create a mosaic that the content would overlay – becoming a part of the site’s design.

[johnwade]

Some success. I found where things were getting stopped up. In the config section looking for “what are you going to call me” (By now I had a few choice words.) I included an apostrophe. When I removed it, the installation went smoothly and I can get into the admin side of things.

Can I now, after the fact integrate with wordpress by making the changes in the config file? Or is it plugin time. bbpress is inside the folder containing the wp files.

[chrishajer]

Interesting (16:12 CST):

Your bbPress URL (http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/) is not a subdirectory of your WordPress URL (http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate).

Sharing login cookies is possible but is more complicated. See the documentation about integrating bbPress and WordPress.

In the meantime, remove the http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate setting from your config.php file, or you may not be able to log in.
