For whatever reason, it doesn’t like the information that you put in config.php for your database. You better make sure that is 100% correct and running. Also search this forum for some localhost installs for ideas!

Hello,

I uploaded the bbpress folders and files to my server and put the MySQL information into the config file.

So now the directions say to “Load bb-admin/install.php in your web browser and do what it tells you”. So I clicked on the “bb-admin” folder, then clicked on the “index.php” file, then clicked on the url link, and my browser opened up a page that said this…

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: Access denied for user ‘jim1234’@’localhost’ (using password: NO) in /home/jim1234/public_html/forum/bb-includes/db.php on line 73

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/jim1234/public_html/forum/bb-includes/db.php on line 73

Cannot select DB.

What am doing wrong?? Any help greatly appreciated.

I like this plugin the way it is! It is great! Thank you! Don’t forget to add it to the repository as well:

I’ve just been caught out by the spaces problem – I’m finding that integrating WP and bbPress is a painful experience…

[fel64]

The previous version of this plugin. That’s version μ instead of the latest, ν.

[livibetter]

Oops…

I changed my mind. bbPress doesn’t check the validity of new email address and confirm the user really own that new email address.

[vitovarducci]

Awesome. OK, so I removed the entry from the database and I was able to login like normal.

Then I went back and created a new post again to test if it would create a new topic in bbpress. No new topic. And it wouldn’t let me login to the backend again.

So I went back and removed the capabilites entry from the database.

I can create topics no problem in bbpress. Just doesn’t create new topics when I write posts.

[andrew79]

Great , Thanks trent

[vitovarducci]

I’m using the latest version of bbsync.

Now I can’t login to the bbpress backend. It’s like it doesn’t recognize the roles anymore. I can login and view my profile and such, but can’t get into the backend.

[intellivision]

I’m going crazy trying to get this to work.

I tried

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/comment-quicktags/

AND

http://www.40annibuttati.it/comment-quicktags-for-bbpress/

that.

STILL no quicktags. I activate them, de-activate them, re-upload them. Everything I can think of I do.

Help!

[fel64]

mdawaffe may have sorted the somewhat ridiculous globals thing ( https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/56?replies=18#post-597 ). I see what you were saying now too jazbek, it seems obvious in retrospect. Updating plugin now (to ν).

Vito, what version of the plugin are you using?

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress are you using and what type of host system is it on? It looks like the single quote in Mail's throwing for a loop, but I haven’t seen that happen in any recent version of bbPress.

I managed to destroy this one and with a server crash and just haven’t rewrote it yet, but if you head over to https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/55?replies=8 that plugin will do the same thing

WP answers to requests to domain.com

I followed the WP instructions on serving WP from a different directory than it’s installed in (WP Admin -> Options).

I put bbPress inside wp/ like the general consensus here recommends, and the syncing works very well. Cookies work fine etc. I’m very pleased with this. I didn’t want to have problems with syncing, so I didn’t do the parallel method.

WordPress:

http://appleswitcher.com

bbPress:

http://appleswitcher.com/wp/forum

bbPress, ideally:

http://appleswitcher.com/forum

[rosebud]

I am on the same boat here. Actually I didn’t upgrade to 0.8.3 because of Forum Restriction breaking. I already have some sections of the forum pupulated, which need to be hidden from the general user, so upgrading is just not plausible for me right now. I am using it in conjunction with Private Forums plugin (which feels much better to me). If that plugin could be integrated with Roles it would be the best solution by far.

I am at a dead end for now. I can’t upgrade WordPress to 2.3 because bbPress breaks, and I can’t upgrade bbPress because I would be opening some important forums to everyone.

[Sam Bauers]

Put this in a plugin file named ‘_addSuperuser.php’ in the my-plugins directory:

function addSuperuserToArray($array)

{

$array[] = 'Superuser';

return $array;

}



add_filter('bb_trusted_roles', 'addSuperuserToArray');

.

If there is no my-plugins directory in the bbPress root, just create it. The underscore at the start of the file name should make the file autoload, so it is available without activation in the admin area.

[chrishajer]

If your WP installation is at http://www.domain.com/wp/ then if you install the forum at http://www.domain.com/forum/ they are parallel. The bbPress installation would not be in a subfolder of WordPress.

Does WordPress come up at http://www.domain.com or http://www.domain.com/wp/ ?

There is probably a way to do it with mod_rewrite on apache, but I’m not sure I understand the question.

[fel64]

Slex, indeed there’s some issue there. It probably needs further thinking about. However, like I said if you want to modify it to stop wp saving comments, or even to make bb add replies to wp comments, implement the change and I would definitely like to make a branch of bbsync.

Vito, can you please open bb’s config.php file and add this line to it somewhere?

global $bb_cache;

That should fix that error (assuming you’re using the latest stable, .8.3!).

No good news on making backdated topics I’m afraid, because there’s no way to use the API to create the topic and set the time of it to be in the past. You’d have to copy and modify some large blocks of code, which is exactly what I want to avoid with bbsync (regarding the problem that became with bbpress post, for example).

However, if you edit an old post in wp and press save, it will create a new topic in bb for you (but with today’s date, rather than the appropriate one). It’s an unfortunate limitation of bbsync.

[vitovarducci]

fel,

Thank you so much. I never even had bbpress post, I thought that this migration would create new topics for each already existing blog post.

But every time I try to create a new post, I receive this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/28/d126493713/htdocs/cbusaffairs1/forum/bb-includes/functions.php on line 997

The post is still created on the blog, but nothing happens in bbpress.

Is this an error on my part?

Also, is there any way to create the new topics for each already existing blog post?

Thank you so much for all your help.

I’ve looked through the (two) plugins that allows us to restrict forums, and sadly, it seems your guesses are correct. The first one which allows you to allow users in to a forum based on member names is hardly compatible with the latest version of bbPress (and seems dead). I almost got it working right, except for the fact that it messed up my forum hierarchy, and some other bugs, which meant that threads couldn’t be posted to a certain forum without being in that forum, which was enough for me to rule it out.

The other option, private forum as you tried out yourself, doesn’t allow us to do anything but restrict it to either members, mods or admins, which is the most viable solution to me at this point. It does mean however that I will need to give all my members who need access to the restricted forum moderator capabilities. Hardly ideal, but I’ll have to go with it for now.

I’ll be looking at it this weekend though, and hopefully I can find a sort of solution to it. Right now I’m thinking of finding a way to strip moderators of actual moderating powers, but I really don’t know. Adding another usergroup (pretty simple) should work too, but it has to be reflected in the plugin as well, but I don’t have the coding skills (I don’t have any coding skills) to do that.

Hopefully a gifted plugin developer will step in and solve this for us

[chrishajer]

There is also a patch attached to this ticket to address the same problem:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745

Look for 745c.diff:

Well, I don’t know, but since there’s a deregister view following the register view function maybe it’s not necessary.

function bb_register_view( $view, $title, $query_args = '' ) {

global $bb_views;



$view  = bb_slug_sanitize( $view );

$title = wp_specialchars( $title );



if ( !$view || !$title )

return false;



$query_args = wp_parse_args( $query_args );



if ( !$sticky_set = isset($query_args['sticky']) )

$query_args['sticky'] = 'no';



$bb_views[$view]['title']  = $title;

$bb_views[$view]['query']  = $query_args;

$bb_views[$view]['sticky'] = !$sticky_set; // No sticky set => split into stickies and not

return $bb_views[$view];

}



function bb_deregister_view( $view ) {

global $bb_views;



$view = bb_slug_sanitize( $view );

if ( !isset($bb_views[$view]) )

return false;



unset($GLOBALS['bb_views'][$view]);

return true;

}

I’m in trouble if I ever need to create my own views or if the views that are being created in the default-filters.php page are ever used. But until I get a response from someone that knows what’s going on, I’m running bbPress without it register views.

[livibetter]

Have you tried this this

to modify line 80 in db-mysqli.php?

[livibetter]

Hi JRussell,

Although, I don’t use WordPress and bbPress in the same time. But I think if you can provide web server logs like error.log from your hosting service provider. We will have more clues.
