Maybe you can fix it and contribute the fixes back to the community? I don’t know that it’s been fixed yet, although there have been a couple of code fixes contributed in that thread.

Kind of an interesting way of finding out about a security problem in a plugin (pm), by posting a seemingly minor problem with ANOTHER plugin (smilies).

Plugins and changes to functions.php are the preferred ways of changing these things, DoubleBUser, as that way you never lose a change when you upgrade the core code

It’s not built in to Alpha.

[doublebuser]

Sorry but I don’t like plug-ins, I am sure there is a simple integer change in some loop of the code. I am sure I could find it but I’d hate to waste time if it is a common knowledge.

[doublebuser]

Need to change number of recent updated posts in Latest Discussions. Where can I change that number in the code or settings?

Thanks.

[Ben L.]

mizparker, you don’t have any idea how many people have that same problem. Either switch to php5 or wait for the next version of bbPress.

[mizparker]

As if this guy’s problem isn’t bad enough, I’ve been through the install for the fourth time and when I try to go to the forum, at http://www.noseyparkernews.com/bb2/ I am always returned to the ‘Yada, yada, let’s get started’ page. I click on that button, and I get several hundred instances of this:

Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /homepages/19/d271430659/htdocs/Nosey/bb2/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 113

until it gets tired, and asks me to stop or continue the script. All the correct information is in bb-config.php, and the first step of the installation confirms that that is true.

I’m using WordPress 2.7.1, with a standard, off the shelf theme.

It’s on localhost unfortunately

[tom_b]

I’ve got wordpress running on a windows server through Godaddy. I’m having problems with wordpress using a local host full path as “Hosting4218749htmlwp-contentcache/ ?” when it should be “http://www……..htmlwp-contentcache”.

How do I go about changing the path to my server URL on Godaddy’s Windows server ?

I’ve reinstalled mySQL and wordpress over with no effect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated…

I think BuddyPress is the best modification for bbPress.

[paultjuh2]

Hehe ok, I installed hidden-forums.

Much better

Thanks!

[johnhiler]

Looks good!!

A word of warning: I used to use the Private Forums plugin, until one day the posts in the private forum suddenly became publicly readable to everyone! It actually happened to me 2x before I realized it wasn’t just a fluke. A number of other users reported similar problems:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/private-forums/page/4/#post-1621

I’ve had a lot more success using Hidden Forums:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

I’ve had that installed for a few months now, and it’s been rock solid.

Nightgunner5 is right – you shouldn’t install them in the same directory. You have two real options if you’re using the same server for both:

1) install the blog in the root and the forum in a subfolders

2) install them both in separate subfolders

There’s a good explanation on why this all matters here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17412

Personally, I use a separate subdomain for each bbpress install… so I guess that’s yet another option.

Good luck!

[Ben L.]

Don’t install it in the same directory – Try WORDPRESS DIRECTORY/forums.

My problems is described below, trying to integrate buddypress 1.0, WPMU 2.7.1 and bbpress latest alpha. Im doing it according to the buddypress forum isntallation (without the cookies since its not needed) but i get this error over and over, Ive tried all the forums and possible solutions over a 100 times (no joke) would anyone please help?

Hey Kevin! I completely agree on the 0.9 compatibility… Nightgunner5 was kind enough to convert his moderator suite plugin to also support v 0.9!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/what-do-you-consider-an-important-action#post-28517

I’ve installed and tested it on three separate 0.9 bbPress installs, and it’s working great.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Looking good Nightgunner5, and great to see you back.

While possibly a little self serving, i’d strongly suggest doing our upmost to make this plugin work for 0.9 for a number of reasons:

1) 0.9 is officially the stable branch and has been for over 9 months now.

2) 1.0.6alpha is nowhere near being the beta.

3) The next alpha is going to break alot of functions and plugins, to the point that _ck_ has already stated she’s not going to fix her plugins from 1.0.7a -> 1RC1 at the earliest. Aiming this code for 1.0.6a, is probably going to give you more work in the long run.

4) I know that Sam has posted on the blog that the proposed function changes might not happen now, but there’s still alot of open tickets out there; and alot of works been done on BBpress since 1.0.6a alpha in January. Add in to that all the work done for “talkpress”, and there’s no way the next version is goin to be near RC1 level.

5) WordPress 2.8 is coming with a new authentication system (yes new to 2.5 and 2.6/2.7’s authentication system), so even if we do get a new release of BBpress at the same time, there’s a whole bunch of coding to be done and tested as an alpha – let alone having the 1.0.beta released at the same time.

Either way, and with the best will in the world, 0.9 is going to be the “stable” release of BBpress for at least the summer. Today’s the 2nd of May, and we’ve not seen an update to 1.0.6a. If 1.0.7 is released on Monday, we’ll have at least 4 weeks of user reports and bug fixes before the next release. If that’s the beta and not not another alpha release, then we’ll have a few weeks of testing/fixing before an RC, and then at least a week before the final release.

Obviously it’s GREAT that you’re building this plugin, and from what i’ve read – it looks ace ( I’m about to install at home in a few minutes), but given the very changeable nature of alpha’s, it’s probably wise to focus more on 0.9 computability; and then making a version1 port when it’s in beta or release candidate. Just my two cents mate.

Thank you for your replies, I didn’t think about a spell check on the browser side. This should do for now.

[Ben L.]

He did post a link, but if you don’t want to click it: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/8066/blankbutton.png

The button’s html value is blank. It’s not CSS.

Here’s the code to load the text for the button: https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags/0.9.0.4/bb-admin/class-install.php#L602

Check the bottom of your modlog.php to see if it’s the same as the bottom of https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/bbpress-moderation-suite/trunk/modlog.php

Also, the messages that are already logged won’t change.

[johnhiler]

Yah I can do all that account stuff myself… it’s just starting to take a half hour a day or so, so was starting to think about self-serve options…

[Ben L.]

Other than changing and deleting their own username, those are all great ideas! Changing usernames messes up lots of code, and deleting your own account?!

The Role Manager has been submitted to the bbPress Plugin Repository – in some future version, it will have 0.9 compatibility (if 1.0 isn’t released first).

The BuddyPress PM plugin is for WordPress MU, not bbPress, so you’d be switching over from a forum to a blog hosting social network. The existing PM plugin probably needs to be scrapped — it would be easier to start over (for me, at least), but importing the old data would help everyone that had Private Messaging installed.

The avatars plugin (in my opinion) is doing the right thing the wrong way. By making the plugin a “real plugin” (no editing core files, no putting files into other directories) and splitting the avatars into separate folders, the plugin would be a lot better.

As for resetting passwords, or for that matter, the entire password system of bbPress as a whole, the idea is already being discussed.

[johnhiler]

A good role manager would be awesome. Right now I have to create a new plugin every time I create a new Role… kind of a pain.

If someone took the existing PM code and then refactored it and removed security holes… that would be huge. It’d be particularly awesome if it used the same database model, so the old PM’s were still readable! I’ve heard BuddyPress is working on a PM plugin, so I was considering just switching over to that (if I could use it without installing BuddyPress).

The Avatars plugin out there is hard to configure (there are at least 3 separate files you have to install in different places), and it dumps all avatars in a single folder (not sure if that scales). It’d be fantastic if someone could clean that up.

Fundamentally, bbPress needs better user account management. Users can’t easily reset their passwords or look up their usernames… and there’s no ability to change or delete your own username. Those would be huge additions.

Thanks for asking!!

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Yes but defining ‘better’ is really subjective!

Look, better for ONE of my sites is a barebones bb. Better for the other is Invision. It has to do with what you, as an admin, want to support, what kind of users you have, what you need to integrate your site with, etc etc etc.

In short: Any answer you get will be based on the specific individual needs.

You’re never going to get a definitive answer. Instead, you need to ask a better question: “What features do you feel are important in forum software?” Then you get a list of the default features in each board software and list them all.

From THAT, you can make a breakdown of ‘Who handles which plugin better?’ and have multi-choice.

Which would kind of be a cool app to help people pick the right forum software, but it still rolls back to ‘what’s right for you?’
