Worked like a charm. 25 seconds of my time to fix a problem plaguing myself and my admins, very nifty.

Can I assume my bozo checkbox will return with the next version of bbpress? Until then how would I mark someone as a bozo… type a ‘1’ into their bozo textbox?

I am having the same problem. Will this patch solve it or the changes are already included in the latest version?

Mircea.

Yeah. I saw that post but the collation is the same in my bbpress install and my wp install. In addition, I’m currently running Invision Power Board on the same server (so same mysql database) with the same data – I’m trying to convert from IPB to bbpress.

Server info can be found here http://pharmboard.dreamhosters.com/info.php

Thanks for your help.

Hello all,

I seem to have stumbled on another oddity I can’t solve…my user registration times are based on GMT, not on Pacific time as I have configured in the bbpress config.php file, as well as the wp Admin->Options page. I have added the following php script to a page to detect the server time.

<? print date("F d, Y H:i:s", time())?>

The time returned is the correct (Pacific) time, (-8 GMT). Any suggestions where else I can look, what else to try?

[macwise]

allrightythen. Guess I’ll post again

[chrishajer]

How about the server version (or is that the server version)?

This thread talked about collation in the database, maybe that’s related?

More topics are gone, seems the forum went a bit back in time (it crashed and restored with back ups?)

[macwise]

I had a topic that I posted about my users registration time being off by 8 hours, making it equal to GMT. The post I had made earlier today is now gone. Either I have used offensive language, enough to get my post deleted, (I have heard that GMT is a swear word in some country, can’t remember which at the moment…), or it was accidentally/bugzadentally erased? Like, automagically? Any input? Did I miss my answer?

Just a note – the plugins database at bbpress.org/plugins seems to be offline. Leastwise, I can’t get to it to look at or download any plugins. I keep getting an error:

Cannot select DB

Just thought I’d make mention of this so someone can fix it. It’s been offline for most of the day.

Nice, I like the idea using a plugin to add a quick patch (rather then a whole new version).

Perhaps it’s an idea to add this to the download page aswell

(and to the blog as an announcement)

Try that, it makes users log in before they can see any of the forum.

Yes, those tutorials and downloads are meant to use the WP theme. They just call the WP header. I tried this one:

http://www.adityanaik.com/blog/bbpress-and-wordpress-integration/

It works like it says it does, but unfortunately for my site, it looks terrible and doesn’t integrate at all. Looks like I’ll have to modify the forums’ style sheet, which isn’t that bad. It’s just that it would be nice if when I modified one, it worked for both.

I have bbpress and wordpress running independently on the same domain but am having some encoding problems with bbpress that I didnt have on my local server.

As an example . . .

the…?

Shows as . . .

the…?

I am sharing some of the same header information between my bbpress install and my wp theme, but I don’t know enough about encoding to know if that’s the problem.

Thanks,

I changed the value of bb_active_theme in the database to:

/bb-templates/kakumei

However, when I refresh the admin > presentation page in a browser the it reverts back to:

C:WWWPUBLICforums.mybbpress.com/bb-templates/kakumei

This will hopefully fix the following issues.

• This user is a bozo: "1" in the edit profile page.
• Slashes getting added to some quote marks (" -> ") in posts.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Please try this plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/37

And let us know if that resolves the “1” strangeness on the profile edit page.

[mirce]

It can be done.

You can check out:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/771

And see http://www.dfur.com to see how I did it. THe script is not ready yet, I still have to add the rewrite htaccess to “page 2” topics.

Part of the fun with bbPress is that it actually supports Akismet.

I tried to change the values for Bozo in the mySQL, but that did not work either.

I fixed it finally by creating a new profile with “administrator” rights and I did checkmark the option to post more in 30 seconds, do not really know whether this is of influence, but is sounds as a logical parameter for spammers.

Guess that you can also change the key user to “Admin”, but then changing back would only be possible through mysql…

Will see how it holds for now.

[chenchen]

well it meets all the requirements… what about in the config file? what shall i write to “$bb->domain” and “$bb->path”? i have a folder in my localhost called “testfolder”, and i want to install BBPress inside this folder so the path of my BBPress must be http://localhost/testfolder/forums? is this possible?

[Trent Adams]

I am not sure what problems you are having exactly. Is it the same as your last post on this issue? If so, chrishajer wanted to help you in this reply.

I see from your screenshot and your config.php file above that you haven’t edited it to your circumstance. You have to put in the values that correspond to your install for these parts here:

$bb->domain = 'http://my-cool-forums.example.com'; // Example: 'http://bbpress.example.com'

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. '/' is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = '/';	 // Example: '/forums/'

Right now, you have the my-cool-forums.example.com and that has to be the URL of your install. Does your system work with an IP address or http://localhost or how do you access it. That will be part of the reason the graphics don’t work as that portion isn’t correct.

I’m having trouble with this plugin – MediaWiki version 1.6.9, using the Authpress.php from the codex link in the first post.

I try to log in and I get this error:

..from within function “AuthPress::authenticate”. MySQL returned error “1146: Table ‘*********.wk_wp_users’ doesn’t exist (*****.***)”

It looks like it’s appending wk_ before my user table?

[Trent Adams]

You can install bbPress on your local computer as long as you have a system that supports the minimum requirements for install. There are packages out there that have all the components.
