I just installed BBPress and everything seems OK, except non-english characters. You can see this problem on my installation. My configuration can be found at http://litomysl.org/bbpress/. I have no idea what it can be. I noticed, that this problem can be seen also through PHPMyAdmin.

Thanks in advance

I recently upgraded to the latest bbPress version. I was using a plugin which integrated my users with Worpdress previously (and would like to continue to do so).

Something went terribly wrong though on the upgrade. This version is now looking for users in the table bb_users, and it should be looking at the WordPress table. So now I cannot login even as admin because there’s nothing in the bb_users table! I’ve fine working in SQL, and I think all I need to do is add/modify some fields in the bb_users table.

So here’s my question? How can I upgrade the status of a user to administrator in phpMyAdmin? After I login, I can activate the WordPress integration plugin an be all set.

OK,

So I went around a bit and it seems at least for the error I was getting that the multiviews was the problem.

So with the help of extremely helpful http://www.adityanaik.com I was routed to https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

Another problem is that I can not login directly from the bbPress, of coarse there is no problem if I’m logged into the WP first, was this done intentionally or am I missing something ?

Thank you !

Hi I just created a new bbpress installation and I dont like my username.

Is there anyway to change it easily? It also happens to be the keymaster so I’m worried about deleting it and creating another user

Hi,

As I mentioned in the title I’m a novice to bbPress, but I love WordPress and have been using it for a while now, I’m a total enthousiast when it comes to webdesign and programming (to say I’m not great at it), just the other day I installed the bbPress on the my sub.domain.com and followed the instructions and changed the config files as recommended installed the WP & bb Plugins so that both sites could work seamlessly, somehow somewhere something went wrong, I do see the front page, I do see my WP users in the admin (and I only get there through a admin/meta link if I try to login through bbPress form fields I get an error), I do not see the topics, posts & plugins (even though I have couple of them in my-plugins folder) in the administration and when I click on anything on my front page I get an error like this :

// this one being for forum

“The requested URL /forum/1 was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

Did anyone experienced similar, or if not does anyone knows how to deal with this ???

Oh yes, in case you would like to have a look;

Any input will be great,

Thank you, Daddo

As far as I can tell, there isn’t one, but you can always do it old fashioned ipb -> phpbb -> bbpress

I have it so it works just like the forum here now. It just required a fix for the way the search form worked and the way the username and password forms were displayed. The profile links works the same as here. I am not sure what you want the profile to look like to be honest.

There is a wordpress plugin that might work out for you. Hopefully no real major changes for WPMU.

I’m trying to get a call from inside my wpmu install to show the last ten posts/threads from my bbpress install.

is there a simple way to get this ? (they are both stored in the same DB)

like <?php getlast10topics_bbpress ?> i’m really curious if this is possible.

thanks for any help

[michaelisc]

I have WordPress 2.1.2 and BBPress 0.8.1. They are (mostly) integrated. BBPress claims that <br> tags should work but they don’t. They are immediately converted to special characters and show up in the post as they were coded, i.e. “br” inside the brackets.

Also <li> atrributes (type=disk, circle, blah blah) don’t work. Same problem as above. Any clues?

[tquizzle]

davetropeano’s fix worked, although I had to dig a little to find out exactly what he was referring to.

You dont want to create a field but rather a row in the “bb_topicmeta” table.

I was able to check a working bbpress installation on Linux to verify the setting. I noticed that the bb_active_theme was set to use the full server path to the template folder. The below did the trick for me.

meta_id = next available number

topic_id = 0

meta_key = bb_active_theme

meta_value = /bbpress-path/bb-templates/theme-to-use/

Save that, cross your fingers and refresh your forum.

[Nola1974]

Reupload what though? I have completely reuploaded the full BBPress and WPMU packages twice. I’ve re-installed BBPress from scratch once, using all new tables (except for the current wp_users table…)

I can create new posts, I can edit posts.

I can delete entire TOPICS, but not individual posts.

However, I just noticed that after a post is saved (without tags) I can add a (1) tag, but not delete it. I cannot create additional tags on a post after that first one.

This is really getting on my nerves now. I would think it HAS to be something to do with permissions, but I can’t tell what the are in the database… what tables should I look at??

[fel64]

Maybe the permissions/nonces are screwed up? If bbPress is set to use WP functions it might be worth reuploading those.

[Nola1974]

wouldn’t know what it is. I’ve re-uploaded both wpmu and bbpress. I’ve took out all plugins and it’s still doing it. Perhaps something to do with my config files…. but they look OK.

[Sam Bauers]

> Im beginning to think bbpress did something to my user tables.

That seems kind of unlikely, but I wouldn’t rule it out. There may be something more fundamentally wrong with your setup, but I couldn’t say exactly what.

[Nola1974]

No. Also, I’ve noticed weird things in my WordPressMU installation. I can’t edit create new categories (“You do not have permission to do that.”) with the stock category editor… but when I down load a Category Manager Plugin, I can. However, none of the other users can – even with the plugin.

To top it all off… I CAN create new categories when logged in as them.. but they can’t.

Im beginning to think bbpress did something to my user tables.

[Nola1974]

I’m so frustrated I’m about to cry. Really. I’m a wuss like that.

I just completely reinstalled bbpress, using new tables (kept the old ones) and it’s STILL GIVING ME THE ERROR.

“You do not have permission to do that.”

This has to be something with the users table or usermeta or cookies. I’m going crazy here.

I’m starting to feel like a tree that fell in the forest. lol

[Nola1974]

fel64: I’ve done that. I have the fix-bbpress plugin in and the “1” are no longer apearing. I then went through each account and put a 0 in the field and saved it. When I reload that page, it’s blank. (No 0)

Still having this problem.

SamBauers: I’ve completely deleted the bb-plugins directory and I still get the error. Could simple-onlinelist have put something int he database and corrupted it? I’ve had this plugin installed for a week. Don’t know why all of a sudden it would do this.

I looked in the database and all of the offending topics/posts were bozoed. But the authors are not. I don’t understand why whenever I try to delete ANY post (even ones from 2 weeks ago) I get “You do not have permission to do that.”

From wp_metadata:

User              table                   value

1  	bb_capabilities  	a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}

From bb_topicmeta:

Edit    Delete        meta_id 	topic_id 	meta_key 	meta_value

Edit   	Delete   	19  	15  	deleted_posts  	1

Edit 	Delete 	20 	15 	bozos 	a:1:{i:1;i:1;}

Edit 	Delete 	18 	14 	bozos 	a:1:{i:1;i:1;}

Edit 	Delete 	17 	14 	deleted_posts 	1

Edit 	Delete 	15 	13 	deleted_posts 	1

Edit 	Delete 	16 	13 	bozos 	a:1:{i:1;i:1;}

Can someone decypher this? (The bozo parts)

I think it only makes a private forum for all members, not specific members?

[Sam Bauers]

Doesn’t a plugin that does that exist?

[Sam Bauers]

This is a complete overhaul of the restrict registration plugin, featuring:

• Whitelist – limits registration to email addresses with specified domains
• Blacklist – stops registration of email addresses with specified domains, perfect for dealing with repeat bozos from a known domain name
• Wildcard domains – specify wildcards in lists, e.g. *.com, *.example.org
• Whitelist vs. blacklist resolution – logically deals with conflicts between whitelist and blacklist when wildcards are used (see configuration section in readme)
• Admin page – edit the lists in the bbPress admin area
• Show whitelist option – optionally show the whitelist domains on the registration form

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/44

[maker]

Could a private forum viewable only by specific forum members be created with this?

[fel64]

You should install the bbpress-fix plugin, then change the field to 0 (no quotes) and save. This will hopefully fix things. The plugin only prevents you being marked as bozo, but it won’t unmark you (which is why you have to do that yourself).

Don’t reinstall yet.

[Sam Bauers]

By default, the alphanumeric code is an md5 hash of the bb_table_prefix that is set in config.php

For default installs this effectively makes the cookie names:

'bb_user_' . md5('bb_')

'bb_pass_' . md5('bb_')

You can override the name of the cookie by setting values for the following somewhere in config.php:

$bb->usercookie = 'my_great_user_cookie_name'

$bb->passcookie = 'my_great_pass_cookie_name'

Then provided that your website is in the same domain as your forum, you should have no trouble reading these cookies using your own code.

[Nola1974]

Ok, i uploaded and overwrote all of my files with a fresh archive and I’m still getting the same behavior. This makes me think it’s something that’s already in the database…

fel64: Well, after I removed the fix-bbpress.php I have “1” in the Bozo field for all of my accounts, INCLUDING the quotes. Should I change these to 0’s or delete the “1” before I install the fix?

Also, I dont know much about .htaccess.. that’s pretty much the standard wpmu file.

What does this line mean:

Topic titled test post started by bb_get_user needs a numeric ID

That stands out to me as if something is fubared in my database. But wpmu is working just dandy. Some sort of integration problem?
