This will be fixed in the next release (.80).
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/529
Much anticipated (and much delayed!), it’s finally here.
As an aside, I’ve not been in the forums much this last month due to excessive travel and holidays. I hope to be more accessible now that I’m back.
Hehe … which bbpress version are you using? Stable release or trac version?
If you’re using the stable version (0.73), line 48 should look like this:
add_action('init', 'online_update');
Just a thought …
The thing with the time, 5 minutes and 1 hour is something different
The 5 minutes are the timeout for inactivity … so if you inactive for more then 5 minutes, you’re not longer displayed as online.
The one hour thing was to let the plugin work on my board, I think there seems to be a little problem with the timezones. Just try removing it … the -3600
and see if it works then.
cheers.
i suggest you report it.. we can track it..
Ah thumbs up, it also fixes a css bug but it isn’t this one: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/420?replies=8 Do I have to report this or is this also fixed?
Well can’t wait till the release (date??), keep up the good work!!!

Thanks for the kind words! bbPress is great! Funny thing is 0.74 might come out this afternoon…..

Thanks for the reply. I thought the spam filtering out was most likely yahoo’s fault. I honestly don’t think any of my problems are related to bbpress, and maybe more likely my cheapo hosting! 
I have another installation of bbpress on another domain and it seems to work ok.
I’m thinking of looking into linking up with wordpress as well because I have used it before and really like it. Any my forum seems to be functioning which is the main thing and I’m happy I found bbpress for it!
Very nice summary so1o. Thank you. Now I need to document the changes I made to .73 and make sure I carry them over into .74
Users being ACTUALLY deleted looks like the only big change I’ll have to make on a plugin.
the existing themes will be compatible.
for plugins: there is one change to the hook ‘init’. if the plugin used ‘init’ hook that will have to be changes to use the ‘bb_init’ hook
Will our existing themes be compatible or willl we need to make changes btw?
Here are some of the enhancements made to the system since 0.73

Ok first post and I’m going to start by saying having only been using bbpress for 2 days I think its great, and just what I was looking for in appearance for a forum ie clutterfree and simple.
I am no expert on this but I’ll try and explain a problem I am having with registration emails. It may not be anything to do with bbpress but I’m hoping someone here may have the experience to help.
PROBLEM: User register seems to be fine and the mysql database is filled with their details. They get the email. All ok. However, if I try to create a different user with the same email (I’m doing this for testing) I never seem to get a registration email. Does bbpress do a check to see if a email address is already being used? I don’t seem to get this problem if a create users with an email address at the domain the forum is hosted. Also if I have an account and use the forgotten password recovery I find I get the email to generate a new password but don’t see the email with the new password.
On top of this yahoo seems to be picking up the registration email as spam, I don’t know if this is normal.
I hope this isn’t too long winded. If anyone has any thoughts I’d love to hear them. I know people are registering with my forum and using it so it does work! But they all have individual passwords. Thanks!
If you download bbPress again and unzip it locally, you can compare the directory structure. Above, I listed the top level directory only, but there are folders with more files in them. I suspect your folders and files did not make it up intact. I would list all the files from my install, but it’s a pretty long list and would be a mess to display. If you download bbPress again just to compare listings, I think you will see the problem.
Download
Basically, it’s the files within the subfolders that are missing (I think).
nope just drop the file in the directory my-plugins.. if you dont have the directory create that directory in the bbpress install and drop it in that..
solo, is it possible to provide a few more details; I really don’t understand how to use this (eg, do I have to add something to search.php? if so, what and where?)
thanks,
Ahni
/home/aless/public_html/forum/ –> bbpress
/home/aless/public_html/blogs/ –> WPMU
/home/aless/public_html/projects/ –> WPMU
/home/aless/public_html/ –> TXP
Okay, so missing files was the program, go figure. Now I have a totally different problem. Now, everytime I click on something in BBPress (i.e. go to create a new topic) it brings up a TXP error page. I can get to the screen where I can write my title and the body of the message but when I go to add it, it brings up the TXP error page. I’m not entirely sure what to do. Thanks.
Sorry, I just meant, where are the forum, WPMU and TXP all installed?
Is it like?
/home/aless/public_html/forum/
for bbPress
/home/aless/public_html/txp/
for TXP
/home/aless/public_html/wpmu/
for WPMU
Can you verify that all the files made it up when you uploaded them? Like, when you FTP in, can you get a listing in the forum folder that looks like:
bb-admin
bb-cache
bb-edit.php
bb-images
bb-includes
bb-load.php
bb-login.php
bb-post.php
bb-reset-password.php
bb-settings.php
bb-templates
config.php
edit.php
favorites.php
forum.php
index.php
my-plugins
my-templates
profile-base.php
profile-edit.php
profile.php
register.php
rss.php
search.php
sitemap.bb.xml
statistics.php
tag-add.php
tag-remove.php
tags.php
topic-resolve.php
topic.php
view.php
Maybe something is missing there? (you might not have my-templates or my-plugins – those were created later)
Does the bb-includes directory have permissions of 0755 or
drwxr-xr-x
?
Yeah, I needed about 80 megs of memory for this particular script, luckily my host upped it while I ran it.
jaim3, perhaps note that somewhere in a readme, for the not-so-smart users like myself.
Hi, I seem to be having a problem. I am in the odd position of running textpattern for my main site, 2 WPMU’s in 2 different directories and BBPress in another directory which may have something to do with it, so just in case I thought I’d throw that out there first. I just ran my ftp client and uploaded for the new WPMU, txp and bbpress. Everything went stellar with WPMU & TXP and I thought everything went well with BBPress. No such luck. Going to the url (http://alessandrapalmer.org/forum/) turned up this:
Warning: main(/home/aless/public_html/forum/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/aless/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php on line 56
Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/aless/public_html/forum/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/aless/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php on line 56
Any ideas? Thanks!
Yeah, I’m not sure why, but while I was talking with GaMerZ on Live Messenger, he said my blog spit out an error:
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/blah/username/public_html/wp-content/plugins/
bbpress-integration.php on line 28
I had opened that file, and that was the line ..
Not really sure what, or why it was doing that, but.. after I fixed that line.. GaMerZ said there wasn’t anymore errors displaying..
spencerp
/I never seen that error on my site, but some how he did lol..
We have a bbPress docs (codex) in the works and that will be something that we can expect early this year. Right now, it is just getting all these projects rolled out. bbPress has only ‘officially’ been released for a couple of months now!

The goal is to release the plugin page again maybe as early as next week. It will allow people to upload their plugins to the main depository. All stats will be kept on the plugin including downloads. The process will be creating an account on the plugins page, submitting your plugin for authorization and then an admin will OK the plugin and create your login for you.
The other goal will be to have a WP widget to show the link, stats and info on a plugin on our own sites. Pretty neat stuff! I would imagine the same could happen for bbPress forums!
It will make more sense when it is open I guess!
