I don’t have the latest beta installed, but I do have an Alpha 2 installation and the database connection is here:

./bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php:123:

$this->dbh = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password, true);

[doublebuser]

Trying to locate the file that has the routine that does msql_connect or _pconnect…

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

It has not been fixed in 1.0-a6 (as of three weeks ago). It happens on WordPress.org too

(And _ck_, what’s a good plugin for that on WP? I’ve yet to find one I like, but I’m picky.)

[_ck_]

The newest 0.9 branch should have it fixed. Since 1.0 already has this fixed I assume you are using 0.9

So try upgrading to this version of 0.9

Thanks _ck_ for the info.

Just to make sure I understand correctly … ALPHA #7 will be bbPress 1.0 rc1, right.

I’m eagerly awaiting the announcement. Hope to hear it in the next few weeks

[_ck_]

It would be possible to do that via a plugin.

this might work, untested:

add_action('bb_head','close_long_topics');

function close_long_topics() {

global $topic;

if (is_topic() && $topic->topic_open===1 && $topic->topic_posts>299) {

bb_close_topic($topic->topic_id);

$topic->topic_open=0;

}

}

[aquagrrl]

Okay, I’ve managed to figure some of it out, I’m using:

<br />

<pre><code><?php $posts = get_thread( $topic->topic_id, $page ); //pulls posts fo each topic?>

<li <?php topic_class(); ?> style="border: 1px solid green;">

<?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>

<ul class="TopicStarterInfo">

<li><?php post_author_avatar(); ?></li>

<li><?php post_author_link(); ?></li>

<li><?php post_author_title(); ?>

<li><?php printf( __('Posted %s ago'), bb_get_post_time() ); ?> </li>

<li><?php echo $bb_post->forum_id;?></li>

</ul>

<?php endforeach; ?>

But its pulling all the post authors. I think I need to limit to the first one, but I’m not exactly sure how to do that.

Edit: figured it out from: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/separating-the-first-post-of-each-topic#post-21808

using:

<?php $bb_post = $posts[0]; unset($posts[0]); $del_class = post_del_class();?>

instead of the foreach.

Hm, when I set

$unread_posts['indicate_last_login']=false;

tracking of new posts stops and all topics appear as read.

Does there have to be an actual logout of bbPress to see results?

Which is not a good option cause most users won’t log out (untill the cookie expires).

[pracus]

To anticipate the question: secret keys match each other

wooooooooow thanks very much

it s working thankssssssss

[paultjuh2]

U have to install BBcode Lite..

Upload it to ur bb-plugins map, and apply it in your admin panel.

What is the problem? Do u get any error?

sorry for bad english

[w-lv]

hello

BBcode Buttons is showing but is not working !!

and BBcode Lite for bbPress is not working !!

I want bbcode

Iam sorry i do not speak English well ..

[Ivaylo Draganov]

Yes, custom theme. And I’ve set both colours to be the same since I don’t need that feature. But I hadn’t disabled it in the code… Just set it up – will see if it works better.

[_ck_]

I just realized something about the “always unread” complaints.

There are two colors indicating two different things.

There is a lighter blue indicating truly unread posts.

However if a user is new or you “mark all read” there is a fallback function that highlights posts that are only a day or two old. That was actually a feature request by someone else awhile back.

You can disable that. Change this line near the top:

$unread_posts['indicate_last_login']=false;

Also, are any of you using customized themes?

[Ben L.]

It’s not the template. Line 4 of post.php is <strong><?php post_author_link(); ?></strong><br />, so it should be showing the post author’s name, not email. There’s no functions.php, so it has to be a plugin.

What plugins do you have active on your bbPress installation?

[Hermiony]

Yay, it works!

Thanks so much!!

[Ben L.]

First, go into settings and change the url. Then, the folder bbpress to forums.

[chrishajer]

What theme are you using? Maybe it’s not coded properly.

What versions did you integrate?

[lookfab]

Thanks bobbyh. This is very helpful.

user_id and username conflicts should be managable since the number of WP users is very small.

On schema, it looks like I need to add the user_activation_key field.

> That extra index on user_nicename is the least of your problems.

So I would just add it using phpMyAdmin?

Hello Everyone,

So let me start with I am on day 3 trying to get this working right. I have tried 5 different methods to getting the forums to workd with my WordPress MU install but I just cant get it working. Please Help.

Everything is fresh and current.

Latest Attempt:

Following this guide.

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt

At the end of bbpress install I got this error. Check Code below.

I also cant do step 6 because buddypress-enable.php is not there. What should I do?

Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

There were some errors encountered during installation!

This sounds reasonable but painful.

Some tips:

* Only upgrade bbPress to 0.9

* Upgrading to WordPress 2.7.1 almost made this impossible, but ck and superanne saved your bacon with plugins for WP 2.7 <=> bbPress 0.9 cookie compatibility.

* Don’t forget to assign your WP users privileges (e.g. Keymaster) by adding a row to the usermeta table

* How are you going to handle user_id conflicts between bbPress and WordPress? For instance, if the WordPress “asdf” user/author has a user_id of 17, and there’s also a user on bbPress with a user_id of 17, you’ll have to do a bunch of UPDATE queries to wp_posts (post_author field) and wp_comments (comment_author and user_id), because when you create a new author with a user_id of 1000, it won’t match up with the post_author_field (etc.) which will have the old 17 number in it.

* Also what about username conflicts, e.g. two users named “asdf”, etc.? That might result in more UPDATE queries… You’ll have to rename the WordPress user, probably.

* The benefit to integrating the databases completely is you don’t have to make two connections to two databases. I’d go for it.

* That extra index on user_nicename is the least of your problems.

* Are you sure that bb_users and wp_users has the exact same database schema? Confirm this! Also, make sure to add any “missing indexes” that are currently in wp_users to “the new wp_users”.

Good luck!

Can you put the HTML source code of a page where the css and jquery are missing from <head> to </head> in http://bbpress.pastebin.com/ ?

[kindagreywolf]

Thanks. I did that. Then found out I can’t really delete posts or move to the appropriate area. This scares as me as I am sure there are a ton of other basic functions you should be able to do but can’t. Now looking for another forums software

[eclipsei]

Thanks, looks interesting if I can figure out how to get it working
