So, did you just paste the plain text password into the database field? That won’t work. You need to encrypt it first. Here is the encrypted version of the password password for a 0.9.0.4 installation:

$P$BYmd6QuCKHVKv5Hm0igW8A/bSHSbWt/

If you paste that into the user_pass field of the bb_users table, you should be able to log in with your username and a password of password. Then, change your password.

Millions in funding does not a millionaire make. I think most of it is used to secure payroll at Automattic because full-time employees are expensive for a company.

The answer is not for me to help less, the answer is for others to be more patient or set realistic priorities/goals (or start contributing to the community themselves).

If someone wants a blog about bbPress, they should seriously make one themselves. You don’t have to be a coder to research bbPress’s history and request interviews with the dev team and Matt.

[_ck_]

Yes, you are asking too much, it’s free software, there’s not even a 1.0 final yet.

Michael was working on bbPress before Sam joined Automattic, he has been working on other Automattic projects for the past few months and recently started working on bbPress again.

Name the current developers of WordPress, I suspect most people can’t – the point is that it doesn’t matter to most people.

Note that I don’t have some special insight on bbPress activity – Michael and Sam don’t tell me secrets and hide them from everyone else. I just go and read stuff, all the notes in the code, I watch trac updates, I read the history in bbDev.

If you don’t know what I know about bbPress it just means you are lazier than me and don’t want to bother reading it all and just want it spoon-fed to you. In which case, you seriously need to find other software that has reach maturity, is well documented and the developers twitter every darn day what they do. There are DOZENS of forum programs. Many of them have been integrated with WordPress on some level. Find another solution.

Again, if you are planning your website, project, etc. around the day-to-day, week-to-week or even month-to-month improvements in bbPress development you are using the wrong program. bbPress is pre-release, it is not final, it is not gold. If you need a timetable, you are using the wrong program.

If you are using bbPress now you are an early-adopter. Early adopters have to be do-it-yourself-ers who figure things out for themselves and/or don’t have timetables.

I cannot stress this enough, if you cannot deal with how bbPress is manged, and didn’t like it last month or the month before, you may have noticed nothing has changed to meet your desires. Please, please, please find other software and stop posting to the forums with this. Stop making YOUR need for timetables everyone else’s priority. Stop acting like you are entitled to special attention and time above the other thousands of bbPress users. Uninstall bbPress and switch to something else.

I have uploaded the bbpress in my server. and i get the 1st welcome installation screen. After i press “lets get started” .i get the following error…

“Warning: html_entity_decode() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/hnsalumn/public_html/ryt/bbpress/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 113″

Please HELP ! ( i have already installed wordpress MU in the server.)

[richcon]

I think part of the reason people keep asking for a roadmap or a release date (which is annoying, I know) is because there is no up-to-date page on the bbPress site with that information. Open source projects especially survive on public support and communication.

So how about this: what if Sam or CK posted a quick two-minute update each month to the blog about progress that’s being made and what still remains to do? I don’t mean alpha announcements or set-in-stone deadlines — more of a this-is-what-we’re-working-on bit, or talking about what features you’d like to see in a 1.0 final. That might even motivate other coders to step up and help, and make everyone else feel like we’re included in it.

I bet the time it takes to do that will save you hours of headaches responding to nagging questions from your fans.

We don’t care if a feature slips or things get delayed, as long as communications are still there. We’re a forgiving bunch.

Open source projects thrive when they have a central figure communicating regularly with people and keeping everyone in the loop.

This is not a complaint. I know you guys are working very hard!

Except it’s not what ‘everyone’ wants

People who want an integrated forum/blog may want that, but then it’s a whole new measure of pain when one half upgrades. And they’re getting there (with things like BuddyPress), but bbPress is a forum. That’s it. It happens to integrate with WP, but that’s not all it is.

[bruinfelix]

Integration into a existing wordpress theme, is just what evryone wants .. So, why the developers dont listen to the people who uses this software, beats me!

Its just on of the main raisons i dont install bbPress anymore, no at all integration with the theme stuff

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Looks okay… Did you dump all the cookies for your site from your browser? Which I realize is a standard debugging thing for this stuff but still should be said and not thought

[jwoelfel]

The Avatar Upload works fine on my site, but I cannot access any admin functions to change preferences. I have looked everywhere. I want to change the max dimensions for the pictures because my template doesn’t handle the default 150-pixel limit very well. I already tried changing the php file through its code and re-uploaded, but that did not do anything.

The plugin states that admin functions for avatar should be available. Suggestions, anyone?

[kahnoya]

Still does the same thing. I can log into both but they log each other out. Here’s my quick settings. Do they look right?

// WordPress cookie integration speedup

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.mysite.com';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.mysite.com';

$bb->cookiedomain = '.mysite.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->authcookie = 'wordpress_3f597388c6109a55a322633x12345678';

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = 'wordpress_sec_3f597388c6109a55a322633x12345678';

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_3f597388c6109a55a322633x12345678';

$bb->admin_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-admin';

$bb->core_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-plugins';

$bb->user_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/my-plugins';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = '/wp-admin';

$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = '/wp-content/plugins';

[zenseeker]

That one line of code worked for me. I’ve been at this since Jan. Luv ya, man!

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Double check your AUTH/Secure etc keys in each config file to make sure they’re exactly the same.

In fact, copy the ones from WP into BB and manually add in the ‘BB_’ in the name.

Also, in wp-config you should have

// Cookies

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.mysite.com');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

But in bb-config it’s part of the WP cookie speed up so:

$bb->cookiedomain = '.mysite.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

[matiaspunx]

yeah you need to use the addslash function to insert data in your db…

I think you need to edit the phpbbtobbpress.php

[_ck_]

Good news, Sam has backported the fix from 1.0 into 0.9 also.

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1059#comment:2

You can either download the 0.9 branch version or wait for 0.9.0.5

[_ck_]

The “welcome email” (just really the password) message is sent via bb_send_pass which is sadly hard coded in registration-functions.php without any filters or actions to affect it.

The non-emailed registration success message is in the register-success.php theme template which can be edited.

However like all things bbPress, there is always a way around limitations, it’s just a bit more complex than it should be.

The “send password” trigger is done inside of the pluggable bb_new_user function which can be completely replaced, or supplemented.

To replace the function, you could copy it right out out pluggable.php and put it into a mini-plugin and edit away. The part that needs to be changed is near the end where it says bb_send_pass( $user_id ... ) You would basically copy how the bb_send_pass function works and replace the text inside.

It would be ever so slightly easier but probably more messy for the new user to send an additional email beyond the password email via the do_action('bb_new_user', $user_id, $password); trigger.

Alright, so good news, it’s all working. I actually ended up including bb-load into my sites login script, then calling the login function when a successful login happened on my site, this then set cookies for my site and bbPress. I also have it so that when a successful registration takes place on my site it also inserts the user into the bbPress users database with the proper information. I snagged the MD5 password plugin for bbPress, modified it to change passwords to sha1 (which is also what my site uses).

Then I snagged the freshly baked cookies plugin for bbpress so that it also sets WordPress cookies. I got the external DB auth plugin for WordPress so that it uses the bbPress users table for authentication. I’ve killed registrations through WordPress and bbPress…so you can only register through my site. So now it works that a user registers and logs in through my site, and when they have a successful login they can use my site and WordPress and bbPress.

Thanks for the help!

Also note that you edit the es_ES.po file which then makes the new es_ES.mo file when you save the changed in poedit.

Their es_ES.po is here: http://ayudawordpress.com/descargas/bbpress/bbpress-es_ES.po.zip

[chrishajer]

The program you need is poedit. http://www.poedit.net/

WordPress has pretty good instructions for doing it, and the process is similar with bbPress:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress

[matiaspunx]

i have a same issue, but my user already exist in bbpress, when i send a password recovery bbpress send me an email with the new pass, when i try to login i cant…

I think i do sometthing wron with integration

PD: i still can login in wp…

[_ck_]

Poedit will automatically re-save the .mo file when you edit and save the .po file by default unless you’ve changed the default settings.

the mo file is in here, it’s all you need

http://ayudawordpress.com/?dl_id=96

in bbPress 0.9 put it into bb-includes/languages/

in bbPress 1.0 put it into my-languages/

and change in your bb-config.php

define('BB_LANG','es_ES');

Good news! I am integrated 100% for the first time in over a year!! Woo!

The only thing I need to do later is I am going to redirect any logging in or logging out through bbpress. Because I can’t log out from wordpress now, but if I log out through bbpress, then it logs me out of bbpress and wordpress correctly. So this is really not a big deal, I will just change any log in/log out links in wordpress to the bbpress log in/log out links.

The way I was able to get my reverse integration to work was by following the normal reverse integration instructions, then I chose to install Ann’s plugin which downgrades the 2.7 wordpress cookie set up to the 2.5 cookie set up.

[matiaspunx]

yeah, im looking at the users table and every field is filled right.

I convert from phpbb with bbpress 0.9.0.4 everything works fine. Then i upgrade to 1.0-Alpha-6 and everything works wrong

there are some NEW tables like term_taxonomy with 1 row only, just my user is ported to term_relashionships table, i dont have many knowledge with mysql, what im doing wrong?

[gautier_girard]

Hello

I’ve been using bbpress 0.9.0.1 for months without any big problem. But this time, I don’t know at all what happens :

When I post a new topic or reply to a topic, everything goes well except that instead of redirecting me to the topic, bbpress shows a blank page.

I see nothing special in error logs…

I tried to delete my cookies and post again but this doesn’t solve the problem.

Do you have any idea ? What could it be ?

I took a look at bb-post.php. If I echo “test”; before this line :

$post_id = bb_new_post( $topic_id, $_POST );

Then it works. But if I put it after, then it doesn”t display test.

So bb-post doest post the stuff, but there may be an error after that.

Thanks a lot for your help… I’m stuck!

Gautier

[bedbugger]

Oh… or maybe you just meant how many topics are displaying on a page. I see what you mean. I will fix that.

[Billy Wilcosky]

Thank you chrishajer! There was not only a space at the top of the code, but there was also a space at the very bottom. I removed the space at the top and still got the error except it said line 142 instead of line 1… so I figured out there was a space at the bottom.

I have another question if you are familiar with this plug in. In the bb-avatar-upload.php file there is an option you can turn on that will show the avatars from thumbnails. This is turned off by default. If I turned this on, would it just create a seperate thumbnail image for each avatar? If so, what is the advantage? Faster page load time?
