A little bit of self-promotion here…

I just wrote an article on how to install bbPress locally.
You can read it here: http://www.refueled.net/install-bbpress-locally/
For those experts out there: if there are any errors within the article, I would appreciate if you could let me know.
Hope it’s useful.
On front-page.php I’d like the “first poster” column to show the users’ display_name (bbPress is synced with WP).
I’ve tried this
<td class="num"><?php echo(get_author_name(topic_author())); ?></td>which calls this
function get_author_name( $auth_id ) {
$authordata = get_userdata( $auth_id );
return $authordata->display_name;
}but it still shows “user_login” which tend to have ugly underscores etc.
Topic: 403 error in post.php
I’ve got Windows XP users saying they can’t post in my install of bbPress
they get this error:
Error 403

I searched and didn’t find this error.
What could it be?
Topic: editing the mod_rewrite
Okay, does anyone know where bbpress decides what the mod_rewrite linkks should be – I;ve tried editing .htaccess – but that just links back to site.com/forum/water-cooler
Topic: bbPress on localhost
I’ve tried installing it on xampp and wamp and I get the same warnings. When I go ahead and install with the warnings I can’t log in. I don’t get why it is reading ODBC@localhost instead of the DB name I provided which is bbp1. I’m 99.9% sure I set up config correctly, but just in case I didn’t here it is:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbp1’); // The name of the database
define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘root’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ”); // …and password
define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few
define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does
define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them
// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here
// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.
$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!
// The full URL of your bbPress install
$bb->uri = ‘http://localhost/bbpress’;
// What are you going to call me?
$bb->name = ‘bbpress’;
// This must be set before you run the install script.
$bb->admin_email = ‘blah@blah.com;

You Guys can have such a limited sense of humor…
Sorry, I started a new topic for this, which I should’ve done from the beginning…
(fel64: I simply want to allow forum users to have the option of uploading images and then displaying those images in a post.)
Seeking a simple solution that allows logged in users to upload and include images in their posts.
All I’ve come up with is the Allow Images plugin, which adds a button to the editing form that helps paste an IMG tag so you can link to an external image.
I was told in another thread that it’s far from trivial to create a file attachments plugin for bbPress: “A major problem right now is lack of per-post metadata. Even if that were present, this would not be a trivial task.” I’m not sure of the terminology here, but if “attachment” means embedding an image in a post, that’s what I want to do.
ImageShack was suggested, a web service that lets people upload images which they serve for free. You can embed their upload form in your site, upload, then grab the preformatted image URL and paste it into your bbPress post. This kinda works, but it’s distracting because you get an ImageShack mini-ad, and have to go to their site to copy the link (cool service, though)…
I thought of trying a simple uploader script that would upload files completely outside of bbPress and present the URL for cutting and pasting into the post. Kinda like the ImageShack procedure minus…ImageShack. Dunno, this is probably beyond me, though I may try with a canned script…
I’m using 2.3.1 integrated with 0.8.3 via bbSync and WordPress integration. It works great!
Any ideas?
(I noticed that Allow Images is the #1 most downloaded plugin, 7x more popular than #2, WordPress Integration, so I imagine the MASSES are craving simple image upload…
Thanks!
I have this weird issue. I have enabled permalink in my config.php. Initially I had the .htaccess with option +multiview in the /bbpress folder. Then I read that it would be good to have just one .htaccess in the wordpress folder. I did this and also tried to have the other option as documented in the site (using a generated list as content for .htaccess).
Permalinks worked when I am not logged in. The moment I log in as admin, I see the address is of the form ?/topic=1 etc.
I try clearing cookies, tried to delete the whole forum but still am able to reproduce the issue.
What am I doing wrong?
