There was talk a while ago of servers that would not send email, so there was a way to display the password:

Users dont receive password after registration

A lot of that discussion was specifically to get around not emailing the password, it displays it instead. It’s not exactly what you need, but maybe the approach could be the same. You could still require username and email, but then their password would be displayed instead of emailed.

I think also maybe you underestimate your users. The password arrives via email in less than a minute usually. If they can’t hang around for that, why would they hang around on a forum at all?

I think maybe I need to do this but I dont know how

bbPress will not have access to WordPress’ functions unless you manually tell bbPress to load WordPress first. In order to do that, you need to put require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’); in bbPress’ config.php (wp-blog-header is in the same directory as WordPress’ wp-config.php file).

I am trying to make my wordpress blog integrate with bbpress but I think their might be a problem. I have two wordpress blogs in my webserver so maybe bbpress dont know with table to look.

This is if I log in first in bbpress without login in the blog

bbPress database error: [Table ‘libreexp_bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’ AND SUBSTRING_INDEX( user_pass, ‘—‘, 1 ) = ‘fb756366af4998835a845e97addc3a3b’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘libreexp_bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’

Log in Failed

This is if I log in to the blog first and then go to the bbpress

bbPress database error: [Table ‘libreexp_bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’ AND MD5( user_pass ) = ‘d465d8c05bbf7c921e1fad84d4358e44’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘libreexp_bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’ AND MD5( user_pass ) = ‘d465d8c05bbf7c921e1fad84d4358e44’

This is my conf file

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://macuserboricua.com’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://macuserboricua.com’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

Help please I would love to mac this two work together

Thanks for your response chrishajer. You made me realize I had put the quicktags-4-bbpress folder in /my-plugins/ instead of putting the files themselves in /my-plugins/. (Although in my defense, I was just following the instructions of the readme included with the plugin). Just moving them directly to /my-plugins/ didn’t fix anything.

Since BBpress plugin DB seems to be down I decided to download the plugin from 40annibuttati.it and uploading those files fixed my problem. So maybe bbpress DB has a different (wrong?) file? Anyway, this is what worked for me:

Thanks again!

We are excited about the possibility of converting from PHPBB3 to BBPress. However all the discussions about conversion seem to surround previous versions of PHPBB. Am I missing an appropriate thread? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone know if somebody may be working on this?

Thanks

It would be listed in your WordPress wp-config.php – by default, it’s wp_

That’s fine, no trailing slash.

Nope – it’s an independent application that you need to style to get it to look like your WP site.

I use this plugin ported from a Vanilla Extension:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Video Tags

Plugin URI: http://lussumo.com/addons/index.php?PostBackAction=AddOn&AddOnID=33

Description: Ported from SirNot's HtmlFormatter for Vanilla

Version: 0.1

*/



//allow youtube and google videos to be posted, tags are:

//<video type="google">docid</video> (google video) -or-

//<video type="youtube">video id</video> (youtube) -or-



function video_embed($texto){

$sReturn = preg_replace_callback(

'/<video(?>s+)type=(["'

])((?>w+))1(?>s*)>([A-Za-z-_d]+?)</video>/is’,

‘VideoLink’,

$texto

);

return $sReturn;

}

function VideoLink($Matches)

{

$Type = strtolower(trim($Matches[2]));

$ID = $Matches[3];

switch($Type)

{

case ‘google’ : return (‘<embed style=”width: 400px; height: 326px;” id=”VideoPlayback” ‘.

‘type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” src=”http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=&#8217;.$ID.'”></embed>’);

case ‘youtube’ : return (‘<object width=”425″ height=”350″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/&#8217;.$ID.'”></param>’.

‘<embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/&#8217;.$ID.'” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”425″ height=”350″></embed>’.

‘</object>’);

default : return $Matches[0];

}

}

function allow_video_tags( $tags ) {

$tags = array(‘type’ => array(‘maxlen’ => 10));

return $tags;

}

add_filter( ‘bb_allowed_tags’, ‘allow_video_tags’ );

add_filter( ‘post_text’, ‘video_embed’ );

?>

`

It allows you to embed video only from YT or Google Video.

Thanks. I’ll just sit back and relax then

Anyone desperate for some plugin action can try browsing the SVN repository directly:

https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/

[Sam Bauers]

The last release of bbPress (0.8.2.1) is incompatible with WordPress 2.3

You can either upgrade to the latest trunk now, or wait a few days when a new bbPress should be released that is compatible.

See here: https://bbpress.org/blog/2007/09/wordpress-23-is-out/

[oledole]

EDIT

Looks like it has something to do with “wp-blog-header.php” beeing called in from BB’s config.php. When I run a basic config.php and default theme it works fine …

[oledole]

I’ve just upgraded to WP 2.3 and now I can’t display the forum (that’s in a subfolder). Any one got an idea why and how to fix it?

Last night I spent 4hours in translation my own version of a language file based upon a .pot file linked to via this http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pot-file-for-bbpress-074?replies=20.

but now I have found an important sentence which was not included. How do I include this sentence in to my .po file?

the sentence is on the profile edit menu:

“To change your password, enter a new password twice below:”

kind regards

i don’t think it’s just that link the entire plugin database seems to be down. but hopefully back up soon?

[intellivision]

Anyone have allow-youtube.zip? The link at the top is 404’ing.

Thx

I second nolageek’s request

[neyoung]

Kahil, your method works well if your users use their login name as their display name. However if a user who’s login is user23 changes his display name to John Doe then your code looks for this image. /forum/avatars/John Doe.jpg instead of the correct avatar image which would be /forum/avatars/user23.jpg. I couldn’t figure out a clean way to fix this (I’m using wpmu, not wordpress). But here’s a dirty hack.

<?php

$comment_author_dn = get_comment_author();

$comment_author = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT <code>user_login</code> FROM <code>wp_users</code> WHERE <code>display_name</code> = '$comment_author_dn'");

echo '<img id="comment-avatar" height="50" width="50" src="/forums/avatars/' . (empty($comment_author->user_login) ? "default" : $comment_author->user_login) . '" alt="avatar" />';

?>

That code should find images for a user if they use a display name or not.

I haven’t fully tested it, but it seems to work ok.

[iyiinsan]

I have setup a WordPress blog and a bbPress forum, installed setCookie plugin to WordPress and added $bb->usercookie, $bb->passcookies, $bb->cookiedomain and $bb->cookiepath preferences correctly (I assume) to config.php of the bbPress intallation.

Logging in and out works great, I can login from either WordPress or bbPress and it would login to both sites. But once I login, I cannot do any administrative changes (delete/modify posts) or even go to /bb-admin. Trying to delete a post will give me an error saying I don’t have enough priviliges, and going to bb-admin will just redirect me to homepage. (And my user level is key-master.)

But once I comment out the cookie info from the configuration file, it works as it’s supposed to.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

[Sam Bauers]

You shouldn’t underestimate yourself _ck_, alot of the bugs in Trac that I have seen in the past are well within your range. You should try out a couple.

[_ck_]

Yes there are several bbPress forums in Chinese language.

http://bbpress.net.cn/

几个论坛存在

[_ck_]

Oh sorry for misleading. Nothing I do really helps the codebase other than to nag about bugs I don’t consider myself experienced enough in that regard.

But I do try to write my share of plugins and themes and I hope to help attract other coders for the actual codebase.

Hi. I’ve just installed bbPress for first time. Can’;t for life of me find how to make a topic stick. I’ve searched the forums and seen references to making a topic sticky and differences between making it stick to forum or front page…but I can’t see anywhere when posting a topic where I can do this.

Help please. I’m not usually this thick.

[yuniar]

There aren’t lot of changes, but bbPress by far is the most easiest forum to integrate with my site theme.

Please take a look if you have a minute:

MachForm – PHP Form Builder

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks for writing bbPress!

Oh btw, I’m using Drupal + bbPress for the whole site.

[biodrama]

Thanks! That was the problem. I am happy to learn that .htaccess really wasn’t there, and it wasn’t my eyes playing tricks. I probably shouldn’t be playing around with BBPress until it reaches version 1, since I know zilch about php, but I just love the clean look & simple functionality.
