Thanks. Got it going, but now I get nothing but 404 pages that insist on a call to “http://ourdomain/forum/install/install.php” — which doesn’t exist, and doesn’t exist in any of the documents on the site. Hrmmmm…

This happens when I try to access the main forum page as well as any of the bbpress admin pages. Very strange…

Dear rose01,

All your base are belong to us.

Sincerely,

Your new bbpress.org overlords

As The Animals said, “Oh, Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood!”

Kessel, you may need to try this plugin: Usernames I18N Fix. I had the same problem b/c I had a space in my username and it wouldn’t recognize it. I’m not sure if you can install the plugin before you have run the install routine. If not, go back into WP and create a new user with a *very* simple name, give the dummy user admin rights, and then go through the install. Once you’re in, go to your *real* username, make it a keymaster, and if you have this plugin running you should be all set.

And don’t be such a tool, spencerp. Sheesh. Give the new guy a break.

Here’s one site’s informations:

Yeah, I’ve played on the live environments before. Sub domains and such. However, I’m also on crap dial-up connections and don’t always have time to be online. Also, since there is only ONE phone line in the house and the family using the line .. it sucks.

But this issue wasn’t that bad before, it just started up I think the past few times of fondling the bbPress software. They need to fix this shit, and once it’s working good.. leave it the hell alone! LoL!

What OS is the live site/server running? I have always had problems testing on platforms other than the final one, even from linux to linux, with things like PHP and MySQL versions. So, the testing I did never seemed worth it. Why not set up a subfolder or subdomain on the live host and play there, to eliminate variables?

I think the developers could better use their resources making bbPress work in production environments (MS and *nix) rather than on localhost. There seem to be quite a few path/slashconfig issues getting it running on localhost.

[kessel]

OK. At the “First Step” in the installation, bbpress asks for the following:

Administrator

(form box) <—- there is supposed to be a dropdown here!

Enter your username below. You will be made the first Key Master on these forums. Leave this blank if you want to create a new account.

First Forum

Forum Name:* (form box)

Description: (form box)

I get no dropdown. Regardless of what I enter — or even if I leave it blank — it returns, “Username not found.”

[spencerp]

Yeah, I setup Xampp Lite on my computer to be able to run WordPress and bbPress. Then I modify things, and play with it on the localhost before uploading things to my live sites/forums..

[kessel]

I can access everything. I can log in and log out to WordPress, Coppermine, phpMyAdmin –basically everything.

bbpress still tells me it can’t find the username.

[chrishajer]

What is bbPress used for when installed locally on a Windows machine? Is that just a test environment?

[wittmania]

I searched for this and didn’t find anything, but by scrounging through the code I found the necessary functions to make it work. I long for the day when the tags/functions in bbpress are documented like they are in WP.

At any rate, I don’t really care for the “Title” line under a post author’s name, and I wanted to replace it with a simple link to the post author’s profile instead. The code I used was:

<a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>profile.php?id=<?php echo (get_post_author_id()); ?>">View Profile</a>

I added this in post.php, where the <?php post_author_title(); ?> line had been inside the threadauthor div.

I’m so proud of myself, I think I’ll go have a snack!

[kessel]

Installing bbpress to replace phpBB. Got through everything, using the same database as WP, can access the database, WP, Coppermine — everything with my username. It’s correct in config.php. When I enter the username (I get no dropdown), it tells me:

“Username not found. Go back and try again.”

I’m no slouch at PHP, and I’ve tried everything.

Ideas?

[spencerp]

Just a note, and it would be nice if this was FIXED in core soon please! I currently just did a fresh install of the TRUNK on localhost, and have the same problem as Kirkk here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/700?replies=36#post-4849

Stylesheet URL is this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhostforum/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css" type="text/css" />

That plugin Trent posted is applied, and is NOT working… Please, fix this issue soon guys.. And by the way, no, my localhost copy of the forums are still borked.. >_<

And course! My config.php file settings are right.. I’ve done this numerous of times before.. wheee! Even used the original config.php file from before, when it was installed before and working.. she still borked regardless sigh..

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.

[markhealey]

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

[wmarcy]

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?

Trent

[M]

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?
