You have it right. Visitors don’t need to login to view, only post. I went to your site and am a visitor and never got asked once to view posts with a login (which bbPress can’t do without a plugin anyway). Could you give an example of a URL that this happens?

I just turned off the permalinks right now, which is the reason they work fine. I read about the same problem here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/29?replies=8 as Jaxia, but for me the pretty permalinks don’t work at all. I mean they are generated fine, but when I try any link, none of them seem to work. I will just turn permalinks on again and you can see for yourself.

Thanks for the help.

Hi there

First of all, thank you for a nice and easy forum system.

I’ve integrated TinyMCE with my bbPress installation, but TinyMCE inserts some HTML, which bbPress doesn’t support.

Is there a way to allow more HTML tags in bbpress?

Yeh AMP has 2 ways to embed media, one uses SWFObject to embed Flash movies, like all the youtube etc stuff. The other tests simple href links in the page for media file extensions .mp3, .flv, .mov etc, and if it finds them it loads em.

It’s just the SWFObject javascript embeds that need to be handled behind the scenes by a bbPress plugin as I take it most everyone knows how to make simple href links. For these all you need is the javascript call in the head:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://PATH TO PLAYER DIRECTORY/anarchy_media/anarchy.js"></script>

And yeh, no idiocy required, apart from my own idiocy of ommission … I should really get around to documenting what anarchy.js actually does and add that to the download package so it’s all clearer than opaque mud… sort of more a translucent mud hopefully.

Hello,

I have read the FAQ here: http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

and I have tried both, using Options +MultiViews and also using the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php but I cannot seem to get my permalinks working.

http://www.nmimsieee.com/forums/ is the link to my forums.

I am using GoDaddy for hosting. I have set $bb->mod_rewrite = true in my config.php and my forums are in the same database as WordPress.

I recently migrated my forums to my WordPress database, and I did the same at home (I have a server running on my laptop, and I just loaded all the data onto the domain mentioned above).

Permalinks work fine at home on my WAMP setup. However on my domain at GoDaddy, I get an error saying “No input file specified.”

Could anyone please help me out and tell me where am I going wrong? I would really appreciate it.

Did anyone report strange things happening after the import with this script? Like anonymous visitors not being able to view new posts.

[Stretsh]

I installed bbpress 0.8.1 at http://www.surinameaanhetwoord.net. I found a plugin to convert SMF forums into bbpress. It all went perfectly, I thought. All users are present, all previous posts are visible to everyone.

But when I make a new post, it is not visible for visitors who are not logged in. Once you login, you can see the new posts.

Is this normal behavior or did something go wrong with the conversion? Visitors should not log in to read, they need to login to post.

Help?

Before we can can get too much further here, what is the other system that you are hooking the cookies with? What does it use for login cookies? On first glance, if it is wordpress, you can check out:

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

It also gives you some cookie settings for possible use with another program.

I have a club site with a members area, i’m going to set up bbpress as a forum, the log in already is in place for the members area which checks if they are paid up members, i can create the bbusers table okay.

Q what do i set the cookie names/values as in my existing log in page so that no log in to bbpress is needed?

“As well, if you have an integration with WordPress, bbPress integrates logins perfectly with WordPress.”

That said, if they are in different subdomains you will have to tweak some files (currently, anyway). But it’s two lines that need changing in total, and it’s very simple.

If you’re planning to install WordPress, look for a WP plugin that does whatever you want and logs you in – there are way way more WP plugins than bbPress plugins.

[fel64]

Err … probably! In WordPress you have both hooks and filters, where hooks are there to add actions and filters to change the data going to and leaving the database (like your post – adding stuff to links etc), but they’re almost identical. Never used this in bbPress.

Greets:

I’m trying to use the Support Forum plugin found here:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/16

and I’m having a problem. I’m not seeing the icons. Actually it appears that they’re not getting outputted as a looksee in any of the outputted source shows no pngs.

Using the 0.8.1 version of bbpress with the standard theme. all of the files are in the my-plugins subdirectory right under root. The plugin works fine. Just no image output.

Thanks,

I had problems too. The table was not created. I had to do it manualy. I have all of the latest updates for both WP and bbPress so I dont know what went wrong. To fix the data base issue go to you myphp admin (data base) and give the following command.

CREATE TABLE bb_privatemessages (

pm_id BIGINT( 20 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,

id_sender INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,

id_receiver INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,

seen INT( 2 ) NOT NULL ,

pmtitle VARCHAR( 64 ) NOT NULL ,

message VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,

created_on DATETIME NOT NULL ,

PRIMARY KEY ( pm_id )

) TYPE = MYISAM ;

This solved my problems for now.

[ardentfrost]

Let me know if it works for non-WP-integrated bbpress… if so I’ll see about using it in a couple of my plugins

If you pre-encrypt the password and insert that value, you can then log in with your new password (in this case “test”).

Here’s the new thread I’ve posted it on officially. If you can leave comments on the plugin there it would be nice so that it’s all on one spot. Thanks again for all your help!

I’ve just created my first plugin. This plugin allows custom profile fields which a user will see upon registration and subsequently when editing their profile page. The values will also show up on the view profile page. This plugin also allows the addition of the profile fields from the wordpress’ profile page. Refer to the instructions in the plugin for simple configuration details.

This plugin was developed in a bbpress/wordpress integrated environment. I’m not sure if this works on bbpress installs only. It wouldn’t hurt to try, however, and I’m sure it can be modified to work with bbpress w/o a wordpress integration.

Please try it out and let me know what you think.

Here’s the link:

Thanks!

When you say Http_Auth, do you mean something like the LDAP auth?

Not yet … but I’m still interested. AMP will still work if you add the javascript to the header either from the standalone player or from wordpress with the amp plugin installed. Picks up any links to flv, mp3, mov, mp4, m4v, m4a, m4b, 3gp, wmv, avi and asf. The youtube etc flash players would need to embed javascript though and so will need to be ported to bbpress via quicktags … which is what I’m looking into.

[chiensavant]

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a HTTP_AUTH plugin/how to available. We’re thinking about integrating BBpress to our server, but we’d like to keep the existing user and password list, so that Bbpress would smoothly be part of our portal.

We might also use WordPress, maybe something done for WordPress is already working for BBpress ?

Since I haven’t found any relevant information so far, I though I might as well ask for help

[chiensavant]

Reinstall did the trick for the other user.

I looked in the MySQL table and surely enough, the password were MD5 encrypted…

But still, resetting the password DOES NOT WORK. My email is correctly set, BBpress is functional, but as the owner I don’t seem to be able to change my password because I never receive any email from BBpress…

Interestingly, it seem to work for other users.

Maybe something is wrong with the mail server ? Just guessing…

[ardentfrost]

Honestly all I did to learn was download existing plugins (there weren’t many when I started writing them, so you’re at an advantage there) and check out how certain things were performed… I also used windows search to look through the files of bbpress to see how things were done.

Once you see how it is done currently (or how similar functions work), then you can start writing your own subroutines to either intercept, replace, or just create new functions that can be installed into the themes.

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about dealing with WP. I never wrote anything for WP, and the plugins of mine that play nice with WP only do so because people like Trent and spencer helped me test them.

But if you ask specific questions, there are a number of us here who can help you if we know what you’re asking

[lonemadmax]

Thank you, I’ll do that when I clean the script from the references to phpbb and other stuff one day. This one bit me, as I have PHP4, but the script can still be used to import the data directly and not put it in a file.

[mirce]

I had the same problem. Its not very hard to do it. You need to use add_action or add_filter. See my problem here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/742

This may help also:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API#Current_Hooks_For_actions

I have no experience also but I managed to do a plugin.

Good luck!

[chrishajer]

The anarchy plugin has been discussed here as a solution to this, but AFAIK it has not been implemented at all.
