When the install is live on the internet, it seems to be easier to fix. The fact that this install of your is on a localhost can arrive as so many different problems. Check out the following posts:

Are you testing? Is that why you are installing on your own computer? Do you have a host to test this out on?

Just run the upgrade (bb-admin/upgrade.php) – it doesn’t delete (or drop or truncate) anything, it just upgrades the database. You can view the source of the functions called by upgrade.php right here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-admin/upgrade-functions.php

If you WANTED to reinstall, you would need to clear the old tables, then run install.php. Don’t do that.

And with any upgrade script, be sure to backup your database and filesystem first.

Hi, I am installing the newest version of (0.8.1) but using an older bbpress database (upgraded)… and have lost my keymaster info.

I have followed instructions here:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/185?replies=6#post-909

But when I run install.php again, nothing happens — the page simply says : You appear to have already installed bbPress. Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade scripts instead? To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.

I obviously don’t want to delete my old tables.

Help!

Many thanks

I changed all the settings. Now it is the same way I had it at first:

Then I changed domain to the one it told me to, and it loaded as a page with no graphics, full of error messeges. I remember, that I installed it sucessfuly long ago, by installing it, then changing config to the correct settings.

I saved the previous version of config, so it is not the worst.

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpressconfig.php:67) in C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpressbb-admininstall.php on line 9

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpressconfig.php:67) in C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpressbb-includesfunctions.php on line 1819

First Step

Make sure you have everything (database information, email address, etc.) entered correctly in config.php before running this script.

Your $bb->domain setting must only include the http:// and the domain name; it may not include any directories or path information.

Current settings

$bb->domain: http://localhost/wordp

I am getting the same thing “You don’t have permission to do that”

Using Firefox 2.0.0.2 Mac OSX 10.4.8 BBPRESS 0.8.1 (With the Bozo-FIx plugin)

[Trent Adams]

This is a setting in your config.php, but if you are interested in limiting discussion based on time, check out this plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/21?replies=1

Otherwise:

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

Does this still work anymore in bbPress 8.2?

When I went to modify the functions.php as requested in the top thread, I didn’t find a seemingly logical place to put the code.

Between lines 1382 and 1394:

$topics = array_flip((array) $bbdb->get_col("SELECT topic_id, COUNT(*) FROM $bbdb->tagged WHERE tag_id = '$tag_id' GROUP BY topic_id"));

$counts = (array) $bbdb->get_col('', 1);

if ( $tags = $bbdb->query("DELETE FROM $bbdb->tagged WHERE tag_id = '$tag_id' AND user_id = '$user_id' AND topic_id = '$topic_id'") ) :

if ( 1 == $counts[$topics[$topic_id]] ) :

$tagged = $bbdb->query("UPDATE $bbdb->tags SET tag_count = tag_count - 1 WHERE tag_id = '$tag_id'");

$bbdb->query("UPDATE $bbdb->topics SET tag_count = tag_count - 1 WHERE topic_id = '$topic_id'");

$bb_cache->flush_one( 'topic', $topic_id );

if ( 1 == count($counts) )

$destroyed = destroy_tag( $tag_id );

endif;

endif;

return array( 'tags' => $tags, 'tagged' => $tagged, 'destroyed' => $destroyed, 'sig' => array(0, __('Signature')) );

}

I put it on the second to last line, but somehow I don’t think this is correct as its not working .

When I go to my profile page, there is no option to input a signature of any sorts, so obviously I can’t have a signature show up.

Any help would be much appreciated.

When you are integrated with bbPress, it uses the wp_user table for users. It shouldn’t have done anything to your WP install just integrating with bbPress. That is strange. I don’t think I have ever seen this one. Even with both integration plugins, registering in either program I can’t replicate this. Anyone else seeing this as well?

Are you using the Role Manager (or a similar) plugin in WP? That causes registration through bbPress to set new users as an Admin in WP. I disabled my bbPress registration because of that and just run everyone through WP registration instead.

[M]

I force the WP registration on my users since the Role Manager WP plugin we use causes the bbPress registration to mark new members as an Admin. I customized the wp-login.php page and included text stating that registration was for both our site and forums.

Just add your WP registration link in place of the bbPress one in login-form.php. If you don’t use a customized theme, I’d stick it in your my-templates folder so it doesn’t get lost when you update.

[ear1grey]

macwise, no offence meant, and apologies if any taken. i’m too short on time at the mo and had meant to add a pointer to php.net (which I’ve pointed ppl at previously) before I got sidetracked by a demanding supervisor. ’tis better to have a community where you feel ok to ask – after all, the only dumb questions are those that remain unspoken.

[wittmania]

I would like to force users to register via the WP blog that my bbpress install is integrated with. Is there any fast and easy way to do this?

I know I could probably crawl through the code and hard code the link so it goes to the WP registration screen instead, but I was hoping someone might have a different suggestion. Also, forcing them to log in through wordpress would be kind of nice as well.

Call me crazy, but I’m still a little cautious about running registration and login through the BBpress side.

[wittmania]

I have recently integrated a bbpress install with an existing wordpress blog/site. The WP blog had three users prior to the integration, and all three made it over to the bbpress install with no problems. However, today a new user registered on the WP side and her ID defaulted to 999999999.

I proceeded to register a “dummy” user, just to see what happened. The next registration ticked up to user ID #1000000000. While I doubt that this will lead to any serious problems, it seems silly to me to have user IDs starting around ONE BILLION, when even 1,000 would be plenty high enough for my lil’ ol’ site. Having McDonald’s-esque “XX billions served” sized numbers seems to fly in the face of the “Code is poetry” mantra.

Any ideas as to what’s going on here?

[chiensavant]

Hi,

sorry for the late reply, but the instruction given to me were not all the clear, I apparently was looking for a solution that wasn’t the one that would work for us.

To sum up the info I have, user authentification will not rely on BBpress authentification, but on our own user table (login and password) called by a simple htaccess file.

AuthUserFile /home/login/.htpasswd

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

AuthName "Private"

AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>

require valid-user

</Limit>

So our users will not need to register a new account to get access to BBpress (that is intended to be private only) and they’ll just use their existing account.

We might use cookies to allow easy naviguation between BBpress, WordPress and the login page (that will contain a load of other things)

I haven’t seen any tips on wordpress forum either. Maybe my eyes were not wide open at the time ?

Can it simply be done without rewriting the whole login process ?

[tgpuckett]

wittmania,

Fortunately I haven’t noticed any of that yet, as I started from scratch with a clean WP and bbPress install before doing the import. Thanks!

As long as your wordpress default user role is subscriber, it should be working…hmm. If not, maybe post a comment on that plugin in the bbpress.org/plugins/ repository. I am pretty sure it should work that way.

One thing you may run into is conflicting user IDs between phpbb users and existing wordpress/bbpress users. If so, you can change the user IDs in phpbb before you import it by using this mod:

http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=388155&sid=3d5e8f776a7086b6fec64c3e80c7cbca

By changing the user IDs in phpbb to 99991, 99992, and so on, so they don’t conflict when they come over.

[chrishajer]

macwise, you might find a php group more helpful for general help with parsing files with PHP, since it’s not purely a bbPress problem.

Parsing Apache access_log files with PHP

First Google result for that search.

More generically, this Google search might help.

[wittmania]

One problem I ran into was that I already had a few existing users on the wordpress side, which led to conflicting unique user IDs. I got the importer to work, but some of the posts were under the wrong user names b/c of conflicting unique user IDs between wordpress/bbpress and the old phpbb board I tried to import.

I haven’t been able to try it yet (phpbb.com is down), but they have a mod called Change User ID that seems to do exactly what its name suggests. If so, I intend to use it to change the three user IDs that are conflicting from 2, 3, and 6 to 99992, 99993, and 99996 respectively. That way, when I import the phpbb tables there will just be “blanks” in the sequential unique user IDs for the existing wordpress IDs to fit into.

Hope this is helpful…

How about a URL where we can see this in action?

[lonelywo]

The link to http://codex.wordpress.org/Ergate/wpmu_bbPress_integration

but its title “OLD INSTRUCTIONS”

After I try modify config.php

http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

My blog user login fail to bbpress.

msg show “Cannot select DB.”

any good idea?

[Atsutane]

Well if you really want it. I have some time to kill so i think, i will try to do this. Before i start i need to know some detail.

Your wordpress using custom db prefix?

Your bbpress using custom db prefix?

Do you need stats like “Registered Users count” and “Post count”? Or you just want “Most Popular Topics”?

[dkokin]

Is it possible to force new bbpress registrations to become (wordpress) subscribers? I’m a little frustrated with my bbpress subcribers unable to use features such as gravitars while commenting in the wordpress section of my site. How can I get the integration be become truly seamless???? Thank you in advance…

[tgpuckett]

Trent,

Thanks. What I did was edited the importer to use wp_users instead of bb_users and it worked perfectly.
