Just to explain why i’ve made a new installation, but i’ve made a mistake in the Prefixe db of my WP installation, and i would like to modify it is it possible?

[thion]

155?! Whoh, and I’m worried about 18 queries in my still-in-development plugin .

It would be much easier to say anything if there would be any link…

Nice first try, I’ve put it here so you can see some of the issues:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/?bbtheme=bb-modmat

One problem I noticed is your hard coded the feed icon image on several of the templates to point to your site – you’ll want to change that to the local image (calculate it based on the bb_get_option('uri') or use a CSS background image instead )

Hello,

I’d like to be able to use in my forum posts, any type of medias, pictures of course but also video (flash code)

How can I do this ?

Thanks in advance

[lstelie]

@ _ck_

Any series of steps you do via phpmyadmin can be saved in sql code and made into a converter. Give me the sql commands and I’ll make you a script.

In fact I’m not by far enough PHP and sql fluently to use sql commands.

My SimplePress forum is rather young so I don’t have thousands of messages (274 in fact).

I proceed in a very manual way :

On my Mac / Firefox I have 4 tabs, the old forum, the BBPress forum, the Old forum phpmyadmin and BBpress php myadmin

I copy a message in the old forum, craete a new message in BBpress then correct in phpmyadmin the time poster id and so on.

Old forum :

http://luc.saint-elie.com/echanges/

BBpress 1.0 install

http://luc.saint-elie.com/bbpress/

Its long but it works.

The problem with editing your bb-config.php and posting it here is that you likely edited out anything in a password or secret key that is causing you a problem. So posting the edited version is mostly useless.

You use the php -l bb-config.php from a Linux command line. The edited version you posted here checks out fine, but I suspect your live, unedited version does not.

There is at least one person I found via google who has done the simple:press conversion but they didn’t say how. I suspect it was the phpbb2 process.

Any series of steps you do via phpmyadmin can be saved in sql code and made into a converter. Give me the sql commands and I’ll make you a script.

code

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘*******’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘*****’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘******’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change BB_SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You won’t have to remember it later,

// so make it long and complicated. You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

// to get a phrase generated for you, or just make something up.

// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match the value

// of the “SECRET_KEY” in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘*************************************’); // Change this to a unique phrase.

// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,

// you will probably want to change this.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BB_LANG’, ”);

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BB_PATH’) )

define(‘BB_PATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BB_PATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

That is my bb-config.php

[chrishajer]

Sounds like you have a syntax error in the secret keys or cookie path that is creating trouble for bbPress creating the cookies. Line 188 of pluggable.php (in the 0.9.0.2 release, anyway) looks like this:

setcookie($bb->authcookie, $cookie, $expire, $bb->cookiepath, $bb->cookiedomain);

Can you post your bb-config.php with as little editing as possible? There’s probably something wrong in that file.

Alternatively, check bb-config.php with the php command:

[~pimpforum ] php -l bb-config.php

No syntax errors detected in bb-config.php

That’s an L, like php -L, but lowercase, in the command.

[chrishajer]

I think each plugin is going to be different. In general though, if the plugin needs to be activated by a user by changing a setting, I don’t know how you could modify the plugin to default to already on.

I think it will be different for each plugin though. I don’t use any of those plugins, so I’m not sure. If you post the URL for each plugin, maybe someone can look at the code and see if it’s possible to default them to active for everyone.

my site has more posts than the lower half of the listing. Why’m I not in there?

http://www.mastercleanse.co.za/forum/

username: bbpress

Login: bbpress

just asking…

[marcoapaulo]

Yes, I found that in the sign options I’ve chosen something wrong my bad…

But still… if someone dont have a sig, and post something like, one or two lines of text, the error appear…

Lets just hope the members have much to talk, or at least, use the sign for something

Thanks

[danvollans]

My issue is resolved. There was an issue with the user tables not collaborating, so I put WPMU 2.6 and bbPress 1.0 Alpha in separate databases, and followed _ck_’s tutorial on install. I also used the plugin for loss of admin access. Everything now works beautifully. (so far! )

WordPress:

bbPress:

[marcoapaulo]

Thanks for the quick answer

And yes… with a large amount of text, works just fine…

The forum can be found in here:

http://www.redcarpe.coresp.com/interpol/forum/

But its normal the signature dont appear? Because I thought: if the text isnt enough, the signature of the members could be the solution to this problem, since it adds more space to the post. But the signatures dont appear in every post, only in the first time the user reply in the thread… I use bbPress Signatures.

[csseur3]

nice, detective

but could you make a plugin with a graphic administration? now, there is a bit complicated to use for me and my other administrators lol :p

ck, what is better?

[danvollans]

Even deeper, this is a problem with the wordpress integration for me. I tried installing without integrating and it worked just fine. It’s possible that for me the integration must come afterwards..

[danvollans]

Yeah, I have been looking for something similar. My error occurred actually in a different spot now that I remember. The issue that I was running into was when I created the KeyMaster user, I named it admin, foolishly. This came with an error saying that the user is already in my wordpress database so it could not create user “admin”. That is where the loop began. I have since cleared my cache, search history, and everything that you can clear in firefox including cookies.

I also tried this in Safari so it is most definitely not a browser related issue, or an issue with the actual bbPress, since this isn’t very common. It then must be a database issue, so I’ll continue to look into it.

Thanks for the ideas.

[chrishajer]

To use WordPress functions inside bbPress, you need to do this:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#functions (the Functions section at the bottom of that page). Be sure that include line is at the top of bb-config.php: right after the <?php is a good place for it.

That will allow you to use WordPress functions in a bbPress page (like <?php get_sidebar(); ?>)

Then, you need to include that function call in a bbPress template file (or files) where you want it to appear. You are responsible for making sure there’s room in the template for your sidebar.

[tronicscribe]

great, thank you that seems to have worked fine.

[chrishajer]

Did you look through all your files for that word? If it’s not in the files, then it’s encoded in the files (some WordPress themes have that base 64 encoded crap in the theme) or it’s coming from somewhere else, right?

I would try to find out where it’s coming from so you can figure out how to remove it.

[chrishajer]

You need to put that include line at the very top of bb-config.php, right after <?php. What happens if you do that?

[chrishajer]

You can also add

overflow: hidden;

 

to the .threadauthor section of your CSS. That just hides any portion of their username that is wider than the space in your template. This forum template is like that.

[zappoman]

I’m actually seeing this happen where on the HOME page it doesn’t show the drop down, but on New Topic it does…

This appears to happen in the 0.8.x codebase as well. I just never noticed it till now.

I’m still digging deeper.

[mcshockency]

Hello, I’m fairly new to bbpress, but I’m an avid web developer and wordpress user.

My problem:

When I go to the settings page, I cannot disable avatars.

I can uncheck it, but when I hit “update settings” I scroll down, and it’s just checked again!

Do I have a ghost? Am I doing something wrong?

I’m using:

BBPress V.0.9.0.2

Plugins:

Hidden Forums

Allow Images

BBCode Buttons

BBCode Lite

Avatar Upload (currently disabled, it won’t work because gravatars keep overwriting it or something)

That’s another one of those silly things that got carried over from WordPress. The database limits it to 60 characters and the default template limits it to 30 characters but it’s still overly long.

Fortunately in bbPress (unlike WordPress) the registration form is done in a template and not in the core, so the easiest way is just to modify the register.php template under my-templates (or copy it from bb-templates) and change the line that looks like this:

<td><input name="user_login" type="text" id="user_login" size="30" maxlength="30" value="<?php if (1 != $user_login) echo $user_login; ?>" /></td>

And instead of 30, make it the size limit you want.

However people that are sneaky and bypass the registration form can still make it 60 characters (ie. spammers). But they will stick out, so you’ll notice it right away.

This can be fixed via a plugin but it would be way too much code to justify the fix. The template method is best.
