Hi,

I’ve just tested an upgrade of my bbPress 0.8.2.1 forum. The upgrade goes to bbPress 0.9.0.4, but after the upgrade has finished and the upgrade/installation script has asked, and been given permission, to upgrade the database, it seems like theres some problems with special characters. The forum is in danish, and therefore æ, ø and å is very common, but after the upgrade they just show up as their respective UTF8 codes. I can’t figure out, and but the header and my browser is set to UTF8.

I can tell, that the forum was and still are in UTF8, but the collation on the database tables is latin1_swedish_ci

Anyone with an idea of the problem?

Gosh, it’s 1:16 in the morning, and I just checked out rev. 1910 with and still no success with installation.

Using WP 2.7

I hope I won’t see a nightmare — my client, an old blogger, coming over to my house and torturing me for not installing his special request: bbpress.

Hey Guys,

I’m very confused with this, as I keep reading different instructions and looking at this threads, some of the links are broken! http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-avatar-upload

Can someone give me the “idiot guide” on installing a plugin to let my members load their own avatars, thank you folks!

All the best,

Cal

Hey Ipstenu, thanks for your help

Giving it a try right now

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/trunk/includes doesn’t have the backpress folder and it’s a little confusing but I think it’s like this …

1. Download this: https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1910/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip – This is your TRUNK build.
2. Download this: http://backpress.automattic.com/changeset/190/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip – This is for the backpress folder
3. Take the includes folder from Step #2 and rename it backpress
4. Move that folder into /bb-includes from Step #1 so you have /bb-includes/backpress

Sheesh. It’s almost easier to get SVN.

[ganzua]

how? Where? I think I have everthing setup okay, but everyones account on the bbpress side states:

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /home/user/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2009

This problem comes from 1.04. I have the same error whenever I want to edit an user;

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in wampwwwwordpressbbpressbb-includesfunctions.bb-template.php on line 2009

In line 2008 is this code;

// Keymasters can't demote themselves

if ( ( $bb_current_id == $user->ID && $can_keep_gate ) || ( array_key_exists('keymaster', $user->capabilities) && !$can_keep_gate ) )

$roles = array( 'keymaster' => $roles['keymaster'] );

elseif ( !$can_keep_gate ) // only keymasters can promote others to keymaster status

unset($roles['keymaster']);

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Users created on WP – Role ‘Inactive’ on BB, can’t post.

Users created on BB – Role ‘None’ on WP. CAN comment!

There’s no ‘wp_capabilities’ being set UNTIL the user logs into the blog. And when it’s set, it’s set as this a:0:{} instead of a:1:{s:10:"subscriber";b:1;}

[Sam Bauers]

You shouldn’t be outputting errors to the screen. If possible send them to an error log.

Can you paste your line 2009 of bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php here?

[ganzua]

I like your forum, very nice

[thugzie]

wordpressfan I tried bbpress 1.0 alpha 4 also. I still had install errors Congrats.

[calman]

.. also put a ‘padding-left=10’ behind the login fields, so looks much better, cheers!

[calman]

Thank you so much!

At this stage, I am simply looking to change the physical text or “Username” etc, so this is a result, thanks again.

I still have to tackle a custom header and styling, but will save those rookie questions for another thread.

All the best,

Cal

[John James Jacoby]

Even though that error is there, if you change their role from “Inactive” to “Member” the error will go away and the user will have member access.

Forum isn’t dead, just high maintenance for right now.

[calman]

Hey Guys!

Okay, first challenge!

Where can I find this text at the login/register form on the top banner?

---

Register or log in (lost password?):

Username:

Password:

… checked numerous files including login.php / register.php, but no joy!

All the best,

Cal

@chrishajer

Thanks for the support but I pick the Ipstenu’s way first.

@Ipstenu

Your method is brilliant! My forum is now back!

Many Thanks!

[nextical]

looks like its gone. And now using phpBB..

Some thoughts on the WordPress community, themes, and the GPL

http://spectacu.la/wordpressorg-pull-200-gpl-themes/

http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2008/12/17/matt-the-gpl-and-more/

There’s a two hour interview there with Matt Mullenweg. He discusses premium themes, the GPL, WordPress, BuddyPress and even bbPress (although he seemed somewhat out of touch with bbPress.)

I should have said that the bulk of the discussion was 2 weeks ago

[ganzua]

I sum up to the toll; recent registered users through wordpress can’t post in the forum. The “add new” link doesn’t appear whenever one of them logs in.

I tried to manually assign roles but whenever I go to the profile page I get a function error there. Forum death

[John James Jacoby]

Where is this discussion taking place? I’m always game for a good discussion!

[chrishajer]

In the German locale the weekday symbol for friday is ‘Fr’ instead of English locale which is ‘Fri’.

@the both of yous

Sambauers is the main programmer responsible for updating and maintaining bbPress, the rest of us seem to serve more as bug testers and trac reporters. You’re both correct to assume that the goal is to have it work both ways, with a registration at one platform to assign a role to the other.

@globalkris

You’re lucky, I haven’t been able to get either/or to automatically tell the other what roles to assign, despite my efforts. To be honest, it can’t be happening anywhere on the WordPress side of things, because WordPress has no idea that bbPress exists. It’s just doing what it always did. bbPress needs to look for capabilities, and assign them according to the WordPress role map provided it has been set.

It seems like a good idea to have the role-map setup as part of the installation process, if choosing to integrate that is.

The other side of this, which I’ve said before in different topics, is that automated integration of bbPress is difficult to predict, because there are several configurations that anyone could or would use, and it isn’t just WordPress that bbPress is intended to work with. There’s BuddyPress too, which is a whole other assortment of configurations. You can see how having bbPress automatically assign a role to a user that doesn’t have a role at all can be a strange situation, since there are times where WP users might not have roles either. There are about 250 different types of arrangements that users can have that must be trapped when I think about it, considering registrations on either side, the role map, and what the results of each situation would be.

Maybe when they register through WordPress, I don’t want them automatically given access to the forums, or vice versa. Even though they are integrated, maybe I don’t want them to have a role at all. What if WordPress registrations are closed but bbPress ones are open? I mean when you think of all of the possibilities, it’s a wonder/miracle that it works at all. Ha!

Long story short, Sam is working really hard on getting this integration up and running for us, and I suspect there will be an alpha6 coming shortly.

[globalkris]

Well, glad to see I’m not the only one with the problem at least. Hopefully someone has a solution for us… anyone?

[pulk99]

thanks chris, this is my problem.

in my rss2.php in my themes folder I have the following line:

<pubDate><?php bb_post_time('D, d M Y H:i:s +0000'); ?></pubDate>

this is giving me this result:

<pubDate>Mo, 05 Jan 2009 21:58:55 +0000</pubDate>

but in the same file, the line:

<pubDate><?php echo gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s +0000'); ?></pubDate>

is working fine. output:

<pubDate>Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:24:47 +0000</pubDate>

I have: define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); in my bb-config.

[calman]

Hi Guys!

My first question today, is this statement a legal requirement, or can it be removed while customising your forum?

All the best,

Cal

[ganzua]

Nice one Tiago, very inspiring, thanks for showing
