I installed the Restrict Registration for bbPress plugin. Every time I make a change to restrictions in the admin panel, all my Private Forums are reset to “Open to All.”

Plugin: Restrict registration for bbPress

Not sure where the problem lies (I assume with the restriction plugin), but thought I’d post it here just in case.

Hey.

I solved it myself.

As a matter of fact it was a http://www./no-www issue.

In WordPress my Blog-URL was http://cmscentral.de and after I changed it to http://www.cmscentral.de everything worked just fine.

In your config.php, make sure your “mod_rewrite” line says false:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

Permalinks are not supported on your host, at least not right now. Change that line to false (maybe you have slugs or true there now?) and it should work fine.

If things work like that, you can figure out the proper mod_rewrite rules for your .htaccess file.

BTW – those are not real folders, they’re just URLs created by bbPress that look like folders. They won’t be in the filesystem.

There is a plugin for WordPress but I haven’t seen one for bbPress.

[chrishajer]

Does any of this help?

Hello there!

I have a website with a Wp install. I made a folder called “forum” so I could add a forum to this site. I made another MySQL database ( I already have one for Wp) for BBpress and write the user, pass,etc of the new SQL in the config.php file and here starts the problems.

1) I got the famous problem with the lost letter “i” in the line 80. Solved.

2) Then I get two more errors:

2.1: Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-admin/install.php on line 10

and 2.2:Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1898

I try continue the installation and everything goes well, but The forum is not working. I mean. I can´t log out as the admin,I get the error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 37

If I post a new topic, I go to the write new topic windows , but when I send It; get an error :Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 164

The strange thins, is that all those post appears in the general window!! but I can´t acces them. I get an Error 404 File not Found. The same error if I try to see my profile as admin.

The BBpress installation has a lot of problems!!!. It´s not any easy..

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, i’m not sure if this is the correct forum for this question but here goes:

I’m developing a new site in ASP classic and would like to use bbPress as a discussion board on this new site. The new site will have it’s own login and registration but I would like to enable single sign on for both services.

The proposed solution for this is on registration, register the user on my site then process a registration for bbPress using the same details. Similarly, on logon I will have a script to logon to an ASP session and then to a bbPress PHP session. (both my site and the bbPress forum will be on the same domain).

Heres the question. How can I do this? Is there a page I can submit form information to (using AJAX or similar) on registration? Is there a page I can submit login information to to write a PHP session? I’m not very fluent in PHP so if someone could help me out here I would be very grateful.

I would like to have an “announcements” forum in my bbpress installation. All users should be able to see it and post in it but NOT create topics.

I’d settle for seeing it only. Is there a way to do any of this?

[Trent Adams]

Wicked stuff on your google code page! Bookmarked! Many great plugins for bbPress and WP!

Here on the official forums usernames longer than 7 or 8 characters get cut off by the post form/area itself (see even my username here), a problem I’m also encountering using the replica ‘bbpress-forum’ template.

Has anyone come up with a possible hyphenation-wrap workaround? Or is it probably down to either just dealing with the truncation, swapping in a different template with a broader username column, or doing more involved design surgery on ‘bbpress-forum’ to make it wide enough to accommodate, say, 13-15 character usernames?

[mattpeckham]

For anyone that’s interested, if you set

margin-top: 35px;

…it lines up flush with the username line, just as it looks if you view you profile here on the official bbPress board.

[mattpeckham]

Fab Trent, that’s plenty close for now.

[mattpeckham]

Has anyone been able to get this working with the ‘bbpress-forum’ template (the one that mimics this forum) and bbPress 8.3? I had this working fine in my older install using the default template, but 8.3 seems to break things, and ‘bbpress-forum’ doesn’t have the post-form.php and edit-form.php files.

[Andrew]

I thought you were proposing changes to the core files. If so I was wondering if this should be put in as a change to the code database, which would mean submitting a bug to the BBPress Trac database.

[Trent Adams]

Not sure if they did or not, but it is pretty simple to change. Head to style.css and find the following:

#profile-menu {

list-style: none;

position: absolute;

right: 0;

}

and change to something like the following:

#profile-menu {



margin-top: -20px;

margin-right: -20px;

padding: 20px;

float:right;

}

Not perfect, but something to start from!

Trent

[mattpeckham]

Hey Trent,

Did anyone come up with a resolution for the original poster’s:

“When i click on “View your profile” the menu choices goes off way out to the right…”

Cheers,

Matt

Just grab the links to the individual forum pages then, and insert them into a WordPress page. You’ll have to maintain it manually, so if you add a new city you would need to add a new link to that WordPress page. I imagine there is probably a way with integration to use the bbPress functions in a WordPress page but I think that’s more work than it’s worth, especially if your list of cities is pretty much set.

Your WordPress page would be titled “Forum” then, and in that page would be the links to the individual forums. Then you might not even need front-page.php since you’d be navigating directly to the parent forums for each city. I think you would probably leave it there so if anyone navigated in the breadcrumbs to the next level ‘up’ they would still get a list of all cities, either links to the parents, or the way you had it set up initially with the long front page.

[peterwsterling]

I am a dork!

I searched and searched – so I posted – and then I found this https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-add-additional-tags-to-post

The detailed fix by Scott works – ye ha!

Isn’t it always the way?

[peterwsterling]

I have installed bbPress using the same DB as WordPress so they can both share user details. This works great. Although I have not put bbPress in a sub-dir of WordPress to share cookies.

However, when I log in as the Key Master (who is also the administrator in WordPress) I cannot create new Forums. It says I don;t have permission to do that! When I use the exact same set up with a dedicated bbPress DB it all works ok.

Is this a bug? I think it must be…

[chgogrrl99]

Oh, BTW, what just to make sure I explained it clearly…

On my main WP site, in my navigation bar, I was going to have Page called forums. If someone clicked on that “Forum” Page button they would see a list of cities. I just thought it would be easier for them to be transported directly to their city of choice rather than having to scroll down the page once reaching the bbpress forums.

Should be used for TESTING ONLY

Download this file

Install:

Put activate.php to your template folder.

Put bb-activate.php to your bbPress root folder.

Put EnhancedRegistration directory to my-plugins

Only tested on kakumei template without other plugins. Currently, it only support user activation. User will receive an additional mail with a code for activation. They can click the link within that mail, or manually navigate to the activation page.

And Key Master can delete user haven’t activated over ## hours.

Possible features in later releases: Registration Approval, Registration Email Verification.

Please tell me what do you think!

[chrishajer]

I think a plugin IS the easiest way to do it without having to resort to modifying core files, which is generally a bad idea. You lose your changes when you upgrade bbPress.

I think you’ve found the best information about the profile already by browsing the source. There is no official documentation that I know of, but browsing the source is good, and there is at a start of an additional source:

http://bbpulp.org/wiki/Main_Page

I wish I knew more about plugins to help you with this, but I don’t. I’m sure someone else will come along and explain how to do this easily. There is another current thread about modifying the profile information, so learning how to do it would help in both places. I’m pretty sure the answer is to do it with a plugin rather than modifying core files.

We’re writing our own history here :-b)

[chrishajer]

sambauers, are you saying I have to move to India or China to get a job like that? More work being taken away from Americans …

Seriously though, I have a few spam users registered every day, and they always link their username to a website, but there are never any posts by them (maybe I delete them soon enough after registering that they never make a post.) So, what good is it creating a user with a link to a website in a profile they never post from? Would a list of users show up somehow in a stock bbPress install where the links there could actually drive traffic to them somehow? I know WHY they do it, but if their username is never shown next to a post, how would the link to their site ever get picked up? I’ve always wondered about that.

Try inserting it again so people can see it and help you get it aligned properly

In your theme, find this around line 21 and change to whatever you like:

a { color: #2e6e15; text-decoration: none; }

a:hover { color: #006400; }

You can change the color and font weight and size there.

In front-page.php, on line 11, change this:

<?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?>

to this

<?php if ( 0 > 1 ) : ?>

That originally said “if there are topics or super_stickies” then do the rest, which is show the latest discussions. Changing it as shown will cause it to never show “Latest Discussions” because zero is never greater than one (the statement always evaluates false so the code block is skipped). If you want to actually rip out the code that would display the Latest Discussions, you would delete lines 12 to 41 in the file front-page.php in your theme. Those are the line numbers in the stock file, your line numbers might be different. Delete from

<?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?>

to

<?php endif; // $topics or $super_stickies ?>

inclusive.

I have to think about that one. I imagine there’s a way to do it, but I haven’t ever done it. Since the name of the city is not a link, you’d have to make that a link to that category, and then suppress the listing of the child forums on the front page. Or, you could just create a new front-page.php that links to only those parent forums. Can you post a link to a screenshot of how you accomplished the different cities like that? Something from your admin panel, or a link to the post here that guided you toward separating things into cities like that?

WAIT: is it this that allowed you to separate the cities? I think livibetter could probably help you do what you want there since that was their code initially.

I’ve added the GPL license to the trunk of bbPress as well as a README containing copyright/attribution to contributors to bbPress.

You can view the current README file here:

http://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/README

I think this is a nice way to acknowledge the individual contributions of people involved in the development of bbPress.

I haven’t dug very deep (or even at all) into the changesets to find out past contributors. If you believe you should be on the list then please raise a new ticket in Trac pointing out what you contributed and when (the actual changeset number is really handy). I’ll validate it then add you as soon as I can.

If anyone out there who has some experience in the field of applying the GPL to projects wants to constructively criticise the way I have applied the license to the project then please go ahead. However we will not be applying headers to every file at this stage.
