Quick Version:

Is it feasible internally, to have a user post a comment to the forum and register at the same time?

Detail:

Something that’s been mentioned already by a regular reader of my blog is that he’d be far less inclined to leave a comment anywhere that he had to register first.

The BBPress registration process is mind-numbingly simple, but users first have to get over the two-step-hurdle of registering and then leaving their comment.

So it strikes me that, since the registration details are the same as you have to provide when blog-commenting some middle ground might be beneficial.

I imagine it working such that when the user submits their comment (topic) their confirmation message is along the lines of:

Thanks! We’ve sent you an email to confirm your address. Please return here using the link we’ve sent you to make your comment visible.

From here it becomes a small step to replace the wordpress comment mechanism with bbpress, which is somehting I’d like to do.

In bbPress, where and how are you loading wpmu?

Are your mu blogs set up like someblog.example.com or example.com/someblog?

[mozey]

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

this helped me in getting bb press to usre the same users of wp. Now, i need them to share the same session. (test user can log into wpmu account, and not having to loginto bbpress to post to forums.)

Actually, is there any downside into making bb use wp’s users like that?

I’m running the latest bbpress at http://yammy.sourceforge.net/forums. After registration, users dont receive their passwords by email.

Perhaps sourceforge does not support this. Can I configure bbpress to display the password on screen?

Thanks

The DB has not changed. You shouldn’t even have to run the install script.

[travelsuperlink]

so mdawaffe, all the database structure are keeping same as the version I download? I just need to follow up the normal installation procedure?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

There’s no good way to do this right now. We can make this pluggable in a future version of bbPress.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The easy way is to find get_thread( $topic_id, $page ) in /topic.php and change it to get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true ).

The better way is to use a plugin so that you aren’t modifying any core files. (This is untested)

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Reverse Post Order

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/76

*/

function reverse_post_order() {

global $topic_id, $page, $topic, $bb_current_user;

global $bb_db_override, $posts, $forum, $tags, $user_tags, $other_tags, $list_start;

$bb_db_override = true;

$posts = get_thread( $topic_id, $page );

$forum = get_forum ( $topic->forum_id );

$tags = get_topic_tags ( $topic_id );

if ( $bb_current_user && $tags ) {

$user_tags = get_user_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

$other_tags = get_other_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

} elseif ( is_array($tags) ) {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = get_public_tags( $topic_id );

} else {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = false;

}

$list_start = ($page – 1) * bb_get_option(‘page_topics’) + 1;

post_author_cache($posts);

}

add_action( ‘bb_topic.php_pre_db’, ‘reverse_post_order’ );

?>

$bb->passcookie = PASS_COOKIE

Might work if you load wp before you load bb.

Is your bbPress URL a sudbirectory of your mu URL? If so, you should be able to use the $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl variables.

If you have any blocked users, you should run upgrade_160() found in bb-admin/upgrade.php. Otherwise, you shouldn’t have to worry about anything.

Just overwrite the files and you should be good to go (backup first!)

I’ve just upgraded bbpress and am running into this error when I use the WP function get_footer():

Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /home/drills/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2139

The forum in question is located at http://43drills.com/forum/

The error can be found just above the gigantic RSS button in the footer in the above link.

Well i have try many time and i still cannot make bbpress play nice with UTW. Anyone know a trick on how to use UTW and bbpress at the same time?

[mozey]

cmcraft, thank you, exactly what i’m looking for.

[kannued]

I figured it out!!!! All of the many problems!

1) The no input file specified occurred because I was not calling for install.php in the bb-admin directory. I was calling for it in the bbpress root directory

2) I downloaded another version of bbpress and uploaded it to my server. Transfer took a lot longer than before which makes me think that the file got corrupted when originally downloading.

3)Created an htaccess file for bbpress root, and created my-plugin directory with the two plugins

4) Read carefully

[lstelie]

Hello,

Another thing.

It would be great to have bbpress CSS (DIV and others) named bb_mydivname, because curently the naming sheme interferes a lot with WP one (for example both can have a <div="header"> )

[lstelie]

Hello,

I have a problem with a non engluish install.

The lang variable is WPLANG both in WP and bbpress (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/6?replies=29) so when the WP integration settings are set on in config.php, bbpress tranlastion doesn’t work anymore.

Any tip ?

I did this: http://brunotorres.net/unsorted/phpbb2bbpress.phps

Worked fine to me, importing a phpBB database with about 30000 records, including users, metadata, topics and posts. It takes a lot of time to finish, but works.

The code is a mess. I just finished doing this. Maybe I’ll make it better, if there’s people interested.

You have to use it on a fresh instalation, since it’ll delete any existing data.

It was just tested by me and I can’t ensure it’ll work for anyone, but I’d like some feedback.

Enjoy!

[Atsutane]

Thanks It work now

[Atsutane]

if i not mistake line 20 should be this ..

$bb->name = ‘New bbPress Site’;

Try to make sure u write it correctly without leaving any syntax.

[kannued]

And I did use this site for my installation and integration.

[kannued]

Hello

I had WP working. Then I installed bbpress into WP as a sub directory of WP.

ie. /wp/bbpress

I filled out the config.php file. But I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /wp/bbpress/config.php on line 20

Line 20 appears to be this:

$bb->path = ‘/wp/bbpress/’;

So what could I be doing wrong?

Do you know the date of the nightly or the revision number you installed?
