Thank you Trent,

This worked perfectly!

Took me a while though to figure out why setting the cookie with the same password hashed as the one in the database wasn’t working, reason being, bbpress stores your password into the database as md5(yourpassword), fine — obvious!

BUT … it stores your password in your session cookie as, md5(md5(yourpassword)) — So, there you go

During installation when I go to step 2 I get the following access violation message

PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 0AF7B927

Second Step

Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

1. Created table dvdgbb_forums

2. Created table dvdgbb_posts

3. Created table dvdgbb_topics

4. Created table dvdgbb_topicmeta

5. Created table dvdgbb_users

6. Created table dvdgbb_usermeta

7. Created table dvdgbb_tags

8. Created table dvdgbb_tagged

At this point the tables have actually been created in the database but I can’t go forward with the installation. So if I start again I get the following.

First Step

We found Steve who is already a “Key Master” on these forums. You may make others later.

First Forum

Forum Name:*

Description:

Double-check that username before continuing.

From here everything goes fine and I get this

Finished!

Now you can log in with the username “Steve” and password “*Your WordPress password*”.

Username

Password

*Your WordPress password*

Were you expecting more steps? Sorry to disappoint. All done!

Unfortunately, I never got a valid password in the process so I can’t login. So I tried the password reset and the send me the password features but to be able to email from my server I need to put 2 ini_set statements before the mail statement so it knows which smtp account to use (this is for server security). the problem is that I will have to search all the files looking for the mail function.

Can you help me out here.

Here is my System Info

PHP Version 5.0.4

mySQL Versions:

Server: 4.1.12

Client: 4.1.7

I’m adding to this because I have since found and edited the registriation_functions.php file so it would send emails. I used the reset password functions to get a new password via email. The first step had me go to a url with a key at the end. Once I got the password I tired to login and got a Key Not Found error. So I took the key part of the url from the first email and forced it into the user meta table in the database. After that, I could login successfully. However, now when I create a topic and post it and then try to view it or any other things like edit users or forums it always returns an unable to locate page error. Well that’s where I’m at now. Its 2am so I going to bed.

Just searching around a bit, does this help?

As you know about bbPress (hense posting in this forum), the only way to change a username is to do it directly through the database. Since there are very few people who can do this here and I doubt they will, the best would be to just login (or register) as jezmck for future posts.

Thanks for letting us know about the bug. It will be fixed in the next release.

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/741

[chrishajer]

I filed this bug: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/740

I guess ex is a valid CSS unit of measure, but I think it’s for height and was not intended here. Maybe a typo combination of em and px. Maybe…

[chrishajer]

What version bbPress are you using?

[jdawson]

Hello,

I have modified our website’s registeration process so it copies over the user information to “bb_users” and the correct permissions for “bb_usermeta” — all working as expected, allowing us one registeration process for the site, AND forum. Excellent.

What I want to do now, is set the cookie information during our website login, so it automatically logs them in to the forum (as both username and password are always the same, as we handle this during registeration).

Problem is, I can’t figure out what bbpress is using to make the md5hash of the cookie name, example: bb_user_f1f348ebf7e6886fc1e743a675246401

If I modify bbpress to force the name (NOT THE VALUE) of the cookie to be, example: “usercookie” and “passwordcookie” — then my login process works and the user can move around the site and message board seemlessly, but this isn’t working as intended.

So simply, can someone tell me how the cookie name is created so I can do the same in my own login process! Thank you.

[sagetips]

Thanks chris. I just found this as well

I guess I was using the wrong terms in my original searches!

[chrishajer]

How about this:

[sagetips]

Is there a plugin or some other relatively easy way to show recent bbPress topics in the sidebar of your WordPress blog? I found this (http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/bbdev/2006-May/000563.html) but the instruction seems out of sync with the current version of the recommended plugin.

This would seem to be a natural way to get blog readers interested in posting in the forums. I searched, but didn’t find much discussion of it.

Thanks

Hi!

I am dealing with the same problem.

However …I see that some post have the ‘ in them?

Could this be Plugin-related?

Jazia – are you using any of the below?

I use:

Simple Onlinelist 1.5

Comment Quicktags for bbPress 1.1

Private Forums 5.0

Indicate New Posts 0.8

Avatar Upload 0.8.2

Admin Can Post Anything 0.0.5

Admin add user 1.1

[sambo]

I’m getting the error mentioned above. I’ve searched all the forums and can’t find a fix. I don’t have the above or any plugin loaded. Moreover it gives me the same error on the original theme and my modified theme.

I also went and made sure that all the files that get included by rss.php don’t have any white space after “?>”. Hitting a brick wall. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks for all of your work.

[talgalili]

Hi sambauers.

I thank you for your detailed reply. and hope you great luck on your own project.

Thanks to your reply, I just noticed your bbpulp.org (bbpress wiki website), and will go through it later.

I hope one of the people you mentioned will give us some inside look to there intentions for the near future.

[Sam Bauers]

The slower development cycle on bbPress at the moment is mainly because there is one active committer – mdawaffe – one other committer – matt – and only a few regular core contributors (i.e. patch suppliers) – so10, sambauers and very few others.

mdawaffe has been a little absent from bbPress recently, but he also works on WordPress and other projects within Automattic a lot, so maybe that is where he is concentrating at the moment. There is a chance that mdawaffe is working on some non-public project that has to do with bbPress, but I can’t confirm that.

matt started bbPress, but these days doesn’t work on bbPress much at all.

so1o has been quiet around here lately too, although he recently revamped his personal website (built on wordpress/bbPress). Maybe he can tell us what he is up to at the moment himself?

I (sambauers) am in the middle of finishing a major release of my own open source project and won’t be doing anything at all (besides lurking in this forum) until next month.

So it basically comes down to these four people to make bbPress go forward at the moment, and for various reasons they aren’t working on it at the moment.

Please keep in mind that I can’t speak with any authority for the others I have mentioned here and I am happy to be corrected, but this is the best account of the situation I can give at the moment.

[Andrew]

Yes, I am curious too. I can’t contribute so I always feel guilty asking.

Hi schmitt, thanks for the reference. It IS reassuring to see trac changes. perhaps I should rephrase my question:

Could we expect a 0.9 (or even 1.0) release in the near future (or maybe after WP2.3 stabilizes) ?

(Surely, I am not the only one who is curious)

[Andrew]

That’s not true… there is activity.

Hi all.
I notice there where not any major releases in the last few months.
Are there developers who are planing to boost this project ? or should I fear it to be in sleeping-beauty mode ?

Thanks,
Tal.

You can’t compare one of the most popular commercial forum programs with 7 years of development and thousands of ($$$) extensions to a fairly new open source project that’s not even a 1.0 release yet.

If you are running a small non-commercial forum, vbulletin is too much. If you are running a large forum that needs many powerful features, bbPress (currently) is too little.

Virtually all of the features you are asking for are possible on bbPress, with a bit of work and sweat. None of them are available without 3rd party plugins, some of which are not complete or bug-free.

[Nola1974]

that matrix seems to be fairly outdated as many of the items are blank when they should be ‘yes’ or at least ‘plugin’ for bbpress.

[mpm]

Thanks guys.

Permalinks set to off in config fixes the problem so I better have a better look at how to set that up properly.

Hey guys, I got a question about the MD5 hash…..

I don’t understand which MD5 to use… Every user has a different hash right? So which one do I enter?

Can anyone try and clarify this for me, I almost got it working….
