Hi guys,

I have no idea what caused this; I haven’t changed a thing since the last time I accessed my bbPress forum.

The link to my forum can be accessed here: N2E Forum. And the problem is that whenever I attempt to access any URL whatsoever I am presented with a rather unpleasant bbPress error message stating “Forum not found” (example) .

Like I say, I haven’t changed a single thing and am absolutely baffled. I had a go at fixing this myself but this is totally beyond me.

Please let me know if you need any details at all. I appreciate any and all help.

Kind regards,

Steve

Scrivs, could you tell me where to track your stats?

I can’t seem to find them.

You’re in the top1000 but I have no way of quantifying you otherwise. You can email me directly at bbpress.showcase -=at=- gmail.com if there is a private page/data I can use.

The plugin you uploaded to /my-plugins/ is really only the one for WordPress! Akismet is built into bbPress is activated by you putting your Akismet API key into your config.php. If you edit that file, you will see the space to put it in! You can remove the plugin as you need not upload or install anything else….just edit config.php

Combined profiles don’t work, but at least it uses the user database just as it should.

It also syncs the cookies if you do it right, so single sign on works too.

[Trent Adams]

Nothing jumps out at me, but there are ‘gravatar’ and ‘mybloglog’ plugins that use more ‘global’ avatars versus and internal system. As for profiles, there isn’t anything to use a combined profile, that I know of….

9rules Notes and 9rules Clips run on the same bbpress and I’d like to think we are pretty big with over 90k replies and 12k+ members.

Hey everyone! We just re-launched this past Tuesday and we like to show the bbpress community what we were able to do by using bbpress as a basis.

• 9rules Notes This is what we started with a year ago and was basically a bbpress install with a pretty interface on top.
• my.9rules Then this past February we built in more elaborate profiles to make it more of a social network.
• my.9r Store We went a step further and now allow the slight customization of your profiles.
• 9rules Clips Uses the same tables as the Notes bbpress install, it’s our version of Social Bookmarking/Social News.
• We also created specialized areas (forums) called Cliques. An example can be seen here.

All of this on top of a bbpress install and lots of hardwork. We love bbpress and many thanks to the developers for creating a kickass tool.

bbPress is released under the GPL v.2

Unless you plan to redistribute (i.e. give away or sell) your modified code, you are under no obligation to release your modified source code.

[pacino]

What’s the license that bbpress is using? GPL?

And, I am wondering whether it is possible to use bbpress (with some modification) in a commercial website and open source only the modified bbpress (that is, the rest of the website will not be open sourced)?

Thanks

[Sam Bauers]

Unfortunately there are too many other things occupying my time right now as I’m in the middle of changing jobs. I anticipate I will have a lot more time to work on bbPress stuff in the future though. It will probably be mid November by the time I get things done.

It seems to be a user thing. I’d been posting from a user that’d been established in WordPress. I updated it to Key Master in bbPress, so it should have all powers. But I found that, apart from tags, I couldn’t delete a post either, same no permission message (same as noted by Jolaedana above). So I logged out and logged in as Superadmin, the default account from bbPress installation, and voila, I can do everything, add tags, delete posts.

That doesn’t solve the problem. I haven’t tested to see what happens with other users, both already registered from WP and registered through bbPress. But it’s a workaround for me, and a…clue.

Perhaps my questions needs clarity. I’m aware of the plugin that enables the same username to have a blog and to post in forums. However, are profiles and avatars also consistent?

[jaysays]

I receive the following error after install:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in …/forum/config.php on line 18

The code relevant to line 18 is:

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://thebigo.ejoculation.com/forum/’;

I’ve tried editing this to:

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = “http://thebigo.ejoculation.com/forum/”;

… as suggested in similar instances, but receive the same error.

It’s official, I don’t know the answer and I’m forced to admit there are smarter people out there than me. Can someone please help?

Hello everyone

Am I right in presuming that BBPress works just as well with WordPress-MU as it does with WordPress?

thanks

Try editing topic.php in the default template and replace:

<?php post_form(); ?>

with:

<?php post_form('Reply to this topic:'); ?>

This is a simple way to make the change you want.

Note that rather than editing the default template, you can make use of the powerful templating behaviour of bbPress if you create your own theme. With custom themes, bbPress will always pick up missing template files from the default kakumei theme! That means custom themes can be quite simple!

1. Create a directory called my-templates.
2. Create a directory in that directory called myfirsttheme.
3. Copy style.css, screenshot.png and topic.php from bb-templates/kakumei to your my-templates/myfirsttheme directory.
4. Edit my-templates/myfirsttheme/style.css and change:

   Theme Name: Kakumei

   to

   Theme Name: myfirsttheme

5. Change my-templates/myfirsttheme/topic.php with the change described above to topic.php.
6. At this point you should see your own custom template in the admin backend.

That allows you to setup your own theme. Then when new versions of bbPress come along you may not have to reedit the default templates – just copy your custom theme into the new/upgraded bbPress installation.

I hope that makes sense.

Note:

Sometimes new functionality in bbPress will mean that it is best to copy the default template files and re-apply your changes in your custom theme.

When I write a new post and hit the submit button, I get redirected to my main root blog page with the address bar reading “http://www.example.com/forum/bb-post.php”. It’s like the bb-post.php page doesn’t exist but it surely does, in fact my girlfriend is having no trouble posting to it as we speak! I’ve goten a few one-word posts to go through randomly but every other time, it kicks me out to my main root page. I have no idea what’s going on, I tried the “Fix bbPress

(0.8.1-1)” plugin and that didn’t help.

Has anyone seen this before?

Hi Daniel,

Being relatively new to bbPress I am not sure how to do just that. Have you tried finding the relevant .pot or .po files for the plugins that you have installed? I think you need to have a separate translation file (.mo) for each plugin – similar to WordPress.

Alternatively, there is the hard way. Translate directly in the source code!

[Cal]

Thanks schmitt, got it working without too much trouble.

[Cal]

Yeah, it worked out fine.

If I remember correctly, I just integrated WP and BB first (minus the cookie settings). Then I installed Amember and installed the WP plugin. All 3 were installed in the same database. For BB cookies I think I just set them the same as _cK_ said in a different post here. For WP cookies, I believe that is in the Amember Plugin Readme file.

It wasn’t too tough. If you need to know anything else let me know and I can take a look. I’ve decided to go with PHPBB instead of BBpress but I still have it all installed at the moment. There’s nothing wrong with BBpress just want more group and permission control.

Hope that helps.

[Andrew]

Did you ever get this working? I plan to try soon.

Amember has a WordPress plugin but I’d like to know if it cascades successfully through a WordPress/BBPress integration.

MD5 is unique to the website URL… not the user.

I’ve just posted some updates. See this post on my site.

I will tidy up the downloads page so you can still get to old versions. For now you can only access links to the latest themes.

[Graeme]

You appear to be using identical style.css files for the wordpress and bbpress sections of your site. You can fix this by copying some CSS rules from one of my theme downloads.

I have just updated the blank bbPress themes at bbpressraw.com with new versions that have a forum-like tabular style.

You can see them in action via the theme switcher at the bottom of the bbpressraw.com forums page.

To solve your problem, I suggest you download one of the themes and copy all of the rules below:

/* Global Styles

=================================== */

hr {

display: none;

}

into the bottom of your bbPress theme stylesheet. This will allow you to pick up all the bbPress CSS rules that are applied by these themes. Tweak these CSS rules in order to change the appearance of the forums.

Enjoy!

Firefox displays the page correctly. Webkit and safari ( the same) have the format problem. Its only on the bbPress Extend page ( on this site) that firefox and safari disagree on how the site looks. I have a pic of the problem, just need to know how to post or send it for you to take a look at it. It could be the code on the page or a problem with Webkit.

Hey Michel!

Best bet would be to drop your request over in TRAC or on the dev list!
