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/

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 …

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

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.

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?

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.

Yes there are several bbPress forums in Chinese language.

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.

[biodrama]

I just upgraded BBPress to 0.8.2.1. Upgrade instructions say to keep the .htacess file. I looked in every folder of my BBPress install, but couldn’t find i, although I found config.php. Upgraded anyway, and it looked like it worked, but posts are not available. Error reads:

Not Found

The requested URL /bbpress/topic/13 was not found on this server.

Apache/2.0.59 (Unix) PHP/5.2.1 DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.0.59 OpenSSL/0.9.7l Server at localhost Port 8888

I am just fooling around running BBPress on MAMP locally, trying to learn a little bit about it, but I feel like an idiot since I can’t even find .htacess. How can I fix my installation?

actually, i don’t know where to look. i checked the feed-files both in bbpress and in wordpress. but i can’t find the error in their. also it startet after the integration..so it has to do something with it. any more ideas?

what about the 2. problem. i can’t download files. any more hints?

thx,

jaithn

[warmechoco]

this whas kinda my persuasion to choose for bbpress, so I could login from Iframes.. I knew nothing about forums (only phpBB: but this wasn’t easy to work with in iframes)… what a shame

[neyoung]

If you’d like emoticons to show up in your private messages here’s how. Open up bb-emoticons.php . After line 242 which contains

bb_add_filter('post_text', array(&$bbemoticons, 'convert_smilies'));

Add the following.

bb_add_filter('pm_text', array(&$bbemoticons, 'convert_smilies'));

This will display the emoticons within your your private messages

FYI: Found this on a backup CD of mine:

http://spencerp.net/downloads/AuthPress.php.txt

Maybe someone can tweak it for PHP5? I dunno, I’m not a PHP Pro.

[chrishajer]

Oh boy – just search these forums for integration.

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/integration (threads tagged integration)

This was a good summary I thought:

http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/

Normally, people adjust the template of their forum to match their website. I haven’t seen one in an iframe yet, and don’t know enough about form submission (login form) and redirection and htaccess rewrite rules to know if it would work like that.

[warmechoco]

hi,

I use my bbpress forum inside an Iframe..

Before I didn’t have any problems logging in (IE6 & 7),

but just now I’m unable to login in the iframe… FF works just fine,

just IE6&7 are giving troubles… When I go to the real page logging in works just fine.. but that’s not the intention to work outside iframe..

someone having the same difficulties?

thx!
