You can have it now if you use trunk.

At the moment revision [980] is the most stable.

ZIP file is at the bottom of this page:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk?rev=980

If you are integrating with WordPress at the moment I don’t recommend using trunk though.

> I suspect bbPress of having hard coded a connection to localhost and thus configuring define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘…’) to be something else than localhost doesn’t really matter.

That’s simply not the case.

Keep our eyes on https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/663

[alderete]

Yeah, I guess it would work for now, we only have a few forums. But I’m reluctant to put that kind of thing into the templates, where it’s hard to update, and prone to typo problems, etc., if the conditional code gets accidentally mucked up.

Is there any way to add arbitrary meta attributes to things in bbPress, the way you can add them to posts in WordPress?

[livibetter]

Check Step 2 of https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Detailed_Instructions

It’s written for WordPress, but you can use it for installing bbPress.

[chrishajer]

It doesn’t look like you upgraded the installation properly. But your issue so far has nothing to do with bbPress. All those errors are from WordPress.

That looks to be a pretty common error:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Table+*wp_terms+doesn%27t+exist

[chrishajer]

You could extract all the email addresses from the database with a tool like phpMyAdmin. I don’t know of a plugin that does this. If it’s a onetime thing, I would just grab the email addresses from the database with a query like:

SELECT DISTINCT user_email

FROM bb_users

ORDER BY user_email ASC

 

With all the email addresses, then just send out a mass email with your email client putting their email addresses in the BCC field.

Are you looking to do this regularly, and are you thinking this should be a plugin? I guess you’d need to know if the installation were integrated or not, then query the correct table, and also if it is an integrated installation, you’d need to separate out the bbPress registrations from the WordPress registrations.

[chrishajer]

If you want multiple forums, you need to do multiple installations, and each bbPress installation will be in a directory of its own, and the config.php in each individual directory should have a unique table prefix, as Sam suggested, like bb1_, bb2_.

In that case, each forum would be access with a different URL as well.

Maybe your site is at http://www.website.com . A normal bbPress installation would be in something like http://www.website.com/forums/ or http://www.website.com/bbpress/ . To have multiple forums, you would access them like this:

http://www.website.com/forum1/

http://www.website.com/forum2/

http://www.website.com/forum3/

or

http://www.website.com/football/

http://www.website.com/baseball/

http://www.website.com/hockey/

and the associated directories on the server would be

/var/www/htdocs/yourname/football/

/var/www/htdocs/yourname/baseball/

/var/www/htdocs/yourname/hockey/

If you just want multiple forums or subforums in your bbPress installation, you just need to install one time, then set up the forums/subforums within bbPress. You don’t need multiple forum installations.

[chrishajer]

It needs to be a database that already exists and you need to use that name, then bbPress will create the tables in that database. bbPress will not create the database.

[drewsdesign]

Can anyone help me find a way to send a mass email to all users that have registered to my bbpress forum. Any suggestions to do this easy would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Are you using bbPress 0.8.3?

When using a socket, you need something like this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-select-db-error?replies=11#post-12434

It’s OK to start a new topic as well. All these recent topics dredging up old problems that are sort of close make it hard to solve the latest problem, your problem. A lot of the earlier advice in this thread doesn’t apply to your specific problem.

[livibetter]

745 is not for fixing unix socket connection.

Try this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-select-db-error?replies=11#post-12434

[Asbjørn Ulsberg]

There is still a set of problems with this. The value of $this->$dbhname isn’t checked before it’s used in mysql_get_server_info() on line 75 in db-mysqli.php. If the connection fails, the error won’t be echoed to the user because the use of @ on the mysql_connect() call and then the script just continues, assuming the connection went fine, which in my case, it din’t. Also, the call should be to mysql<b>i</b>_connect() and not mysql_connect(), as far as I can understand.

The patch doesn’t fix these problems and they need to be fixed for bbPress to work on my host. I’d write these comments on the associated ticket, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to register or comment anonymously there.

[Asbjørn Ulsberg]

I have the same problem and overwriting db-mysqli.php with db.php didn’t help. Just for completeness, here’s the error messages I encounter:

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /home/<snip>/bbpress/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 73

I suspect bbPress of having hard coded a connection to localhost and thus configuring define('BBDB_HOST', '...') to be something else than localhost doesn’t really matter. I don’t have MySQL and Apache installed on the same physical server, so I have to access MySQL through a hostname and thus localhost won’t work.

The very latest trunk [988] is a little unstable.

You are better off with [980] the zip download of [980] can be found at the bottom of the following page:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk?rev=980

[chrishajer]

I hope there’s a new release soon as well, but it doesn’t look like a date has been set yet?

https://trac.bbpress.org/milestone/0.8.4%20%26%20Pings

raygene: you can always download the latest development release which generally has all the discussed patches applied:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/988/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip

There is always a link to the zip archive at the bottom of the trac browser.

Why is your bbPress calling a WordPress function?

wp-includes/functions.php

Is there more to your setup than it appears?

Actually, I just went to your forum and it is working?

[hapikar]

Hello,

I have installed bbPress and it’s working all except for this fatal error im receiving.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/hapikar.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1491

Is this close to what you want? Topic Feeds

If so, just be patient.

[Doobus]

After all my slicing and dicing with bbPress, I’m finally coming close to completing everything, except one thing. This RSS thing is really killing me . I’m wracking my brain trying to explain this the best way possible.

So here I go. Each forum has a feed, how do I only show the topics in the feed? As it stands right now, the feed is showing the replies as well, I just want topics to show.

Sorry for sounding redundant, but I’m desperate >_< to complete. Thanks in advance.

[livibetter]

The workaround won’t work for plugins.

@sambauers: I think there is no complete working solution if you don’t touch the core files.

First, load_default_textdomain and load_plugin_textdomain are WordPress version, they only look language files in WordPress directories. So, in bbPress, all text won’t be translated since language file are not loaded because WordPress load_*_textdomain won’t find language files in bbPress’ directories.

Second, WordPress and bbPress both use default as textdomain when calling __() or _e() without assigning textdomain, that means we can only use either WordPress’ or bbPress’ language files at the same time, not both.

(edit: plugin’s problem can be solved by add a bb_load_plugin_textdomain, but bbPress’s part. If we don’t want to use something like bb__(), bb_e(), maybe we can try to merge bbPress translations into WordPress’ in runtime? or search bbPress’ first, then WordPress’ if can’t find)

[citizenkeith]

Running the latest version of bbPress and the latest version of ck’s plugin.

Signatures won’t update when you try to change them in Edit Profile. No error messages to be found.

[livibetter]

Sorry, didn’t read bbPress source carefully. Replace first if clause with

if ( defined('BBLANG') && '' != constant('BBLANG') ) {

if ( function_exists('load_default_textdomain') ) {

global $l10n;



$locale = BBLANG;

$mofile = BBPATH . BBINC . 'languages/' . "$locale.mo";

if ( is_readable($mofile) ) {

$input = new CachedFileReader($mofile);

$l10n['default'] = new gettext_reader($input);

}

}

else {

include_once(BBPATH . BBINC . 'streams.php');

include_once(BBPATH . BBINC . 'gettext.php');

}

}

PS. That “..” is how you put variable to be parsed in string in PHP ( Variable parsing )
