I never could get wpmu to run on top of bbpress. Evertime I tried wpmu would think I wanted to create a blog named boards instead of load the installation of bbpress in the directory called boards. (If anyone has a solution for that PLEASE point me in the right direction)

My friend (atomAstro on here) figured this out. In your wpmu-settings.php file you need to add some code around line 119.

This:

if( $blogname == 'bbpress' ){

return true;

}

Should be added right above this:

if( is_array( $pages ) == false )

return false;

Change $blogname = ‘bbpress’ to whatever your bbPress directory is called.

Just wanted to share that I’d had some success with integrating some simpler wordpress plugins into bbpress by creating some functions to mimic get_settings() and update_options()

Since bbpress fortunately uses differently named functions for the same actions, I was able to make them point to the wordpress table instead of bbpress and fetch the proper options that the plugins were calling for.

Not sure how useful this would be to anyone else and it’s not for novices since other little tweaks are usually necessary and admin menus are definitely not supported, but it’s nice to have the integration ability.

ps. maybe we need a separate integration sub-forum

I have recently installed bbpress and then created a new directory named my-plugins, where I have also placed bbpress integration.

The problem is whilst I can SEE (thus activate bbpress integration plugin) I can NOT see display-name.php plugin under site management. I have definitely uploaded it.

With regard to collegemates’ error above:

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity

Location: http://mysite/rss.php?profile=1

Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version=”1.0″?><!– generator=”bbPress” –>

I’ve been getting the same error when trying to subscribe to favorites or forums. Topics works great, thou. Is there anyone out there with any clue to this problem?

[statusquo]

ok I’ve even tried version 0.73 but still encountering errors. Can anyone help?

Go here:

Click on a version to enter that directory, then scroll to the bottom of the file list. There you will find a link to download a Zip Archive of that directory.

Hi all I also get an error on like the one experienced above:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() in phpbb2bbpress.php on line 383

Can anyone tell me how I can resolve this.

I also notice that this converter has not been updated, is it going to be anytime soon?

AND whilst converting WHY does it STATE that all emails are being forwarded to SPAMMERS? (Can’t remember the exact words). Is this meant to be a joke?

Thanks in advance.

[statusquo]

Hi all

I am interested in moving my forum from Punbb to bbpress as my site is powered by WordPress.

The only converter that I could get my hands on is the phpbb converter. However I seem to be encountering errors whilst attempting to import phpbb database.

The converters do not seem to have been updated and are stated to be compatible with the earlier 0.73 release.

Where can I get (download) earlier releases on bbpress especially version 0.73. I intend to update to the current release as soon as I import all of my posts.

Thanks in advance.

I’m trying to make the forum tab highlighted while browsing my bbpress. I’m using is_home to highlight it on my blog frontpage, and for some reason it stays highlighted on START when in the forum. What can I use to get the forum tab highlighted? I’m guessing it’s an if-statement similar to is_home. Please help! Thank you

Testing it out here:

Will come in handy for the site as it grows. Thanks!

This falls under the same problem of accidentally demoting yourself below keymaster to admin (some people try it to remove the somewhat silly title from displaying)

two ways to fix it manually and get back keymaster status:

the technical way:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbsync/page/2?replies=67#post-8401

the easier way (but might reset other data, not certain)

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/no-site-keymasters?replies=6#post-909

probably needs a scrap of javascript in there to throw up an alert to what you are about to do (demote a keymaster) is a very bad idea

I guess I’ll try adding it to trac

I had forgotten about this site, they did an incredible job programming it. Facinating to compare:

http://www.forummatrix.org/compare/bbPress+miniBB+phpBB+SMF+vBulletin

(I picked those top five but you can choose from like 25 others)

But I can easily spot some missing things from the bbpress chart that have been added in the core or via plugin, so they need an update…

[_ck_]

Yeah I’ve already hacked the core code to make it say “Track this topic in your forum favorites” to make it sound different than adding to your bookmarks which every site nags the visitors to do and so they ignore it.

Too much hacking needed to change the term “favorites” everywhere unfortunately and it was the first thing I sadly had to touch the core for. After hacking up wordpress so much that I cannot easily upgrade it, I swore not to do that on BBpress, especially since it’s so early in alpha/beta

It’s also going to be a problem eventually that a tracking level is not set for each “favorite”, so now they can only get every topic emailed, or none at all.

When in doubt, study vbulletin as a model I suggest…

I have a sneaking suspicion that you could help solve some serious bbPress issues quickly! Thought about helping DEV?

@Beaver6813:

The error sounds like it’s trying to call the add_action() function when either the file containing the function (wp-functions.php) isn’t included for some reason, or the plugin is being called before it has been included.

I do not know why this might occur, although the fact you are using an integrated WordPress/bbPress combo might be a factor. We really need somebody who knows more about the internals of both system to help.

Anyway, by commenting out the add_action() function all you have done is prevent the plugin from automatically creating an identicon for newly registered users. So, it’s not such a biggie while trying to solve the problem.

@_ck_

Feel free to hack the script however you see fit — I realise I have been rather too strict with the filenames, especially as it is really only a first-stage precaution (the file gets renamed n the server anyway). Also, I believe some browsers add the whole path to the uploaded filename (something I neglected to address).

A solution I am adding to the next version will be to extract the actual filename from the path before checking.

$img_name = basename($img['name']);

Then, the number of necessary characters to allow is greatly reduced. I just prefer to approach it from the other end, block everything except what I explicitly allow. But as I said, feel free to hack it to suit your needs.

I was completely unaware that you could enter a URL into a file input (“browse”) field? You indicate that it forces Windows to download the file, but I am wondering whether it is a browser specific feature and whether it is supposed to work like that? I would not rely on it.

The mime-type comes from the uploaded file in $_FILES which, you are right should not be trusted. I’m experimenting with checking whether the uploaded file is areally an image doing something like imagecreatefromjpeg() – obviously using the appropriate function for the reported file extension (so if it’s all wrong/missing/forged an error will result). Alternatively, a simple solution might be to use getimagesize() (just the one function for all types), which I already use later in the code.

[_ck_]

I’ve just discovered that any member who registers through BBpress instead of WordPress never gets a Role set (ie. Subscriber) so while they can use the forum, they can do anything on the WordPress part, even though they are logged in.

[_ck_]

Well with wordpress, the override is right in the code but obviously to leave the bbpress core alone it would have to be a plugin. (Kinda wondering what all these plugins are doing to the supposedly high performance of BBpress).

I’d like to see admin/mods have zero limits on what they put into their posts. So to write a plugin I need to find out how to check the user level, then figure out what filter to attach it to (probably pre_post)

[Sam Bauers]

There are 150+ changes from jQuery 1.1.2 t0 1.1.3.1

[signpostmarv]

I came across the same problem on a combined wp/bbpress setup.

twas a simple case of changing line 1079, template-functions.php

$r = bb_get_option('uri') . "profile/" . $user->$column . ( 1 < $page ? "/page/$page" : '' ); to $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "profile/" . urlencode($user->$column) . ( 1 < $page ? "/page/$page" : '' );

[_ck_]

Yay! I figured out how to hack it to make it happen.

To leave the core files alone, I did it through a plugin.

The balancetags in bbpress takes less parameters than from WP.

function force_balance_tags($text) { return balanceTags($text, true);}

add_filter('pre_post', 'force_balance_tags');

Tested working.

Another nice addition in there would be to add nofollow to any post links.

add_filter('pre_post', 'bb_rel_nofollow');

[_ck_]

AHA!

I found a bug. Finally I can contribute.

WordPress does indeed auto-close tags and has a fantastic routine, the balancetags I mentioned above.

HOWEVER

it was copied raw into BBpress and it won’t work by default because it’s looking for an option that will never be set because BBpress doesn’t have it

function balanceTags($text, $is_comment = 0, $force = false) {

if ( !$force && get_option(‘use_balanceTags’) == 0 )

return $text;

See what I mean? There’s no manually way to set use_balanceTags in BBpress.

So how do we force the filter on? I know it has to be balanceTags ($text,1,1) to work.

[_ck_]

Actually I may be wrong about this.

I dug through the default filters and I see this:

add_filter(‘pre_post’, ‘balanceTags’);

Does balancetags == auto-close tags?

Looking at the function it would seem to be so.

Perhaps I have a plugin conflict or does this behaviour exist on even on a default install?

added: I just tested here and yup, it doesn’t auto-close
