[retrospec]

Hello,

After installing the software successfully, all database tables were created ok but when I clicked on the link to login it repeatedly told me the forum software wasn’t installed. On checking I noticed two bizarre things:

1. Although the placeholder topic had been created and other tables populated, the forum table had no entries, it was empty, i.e. it had not created the first forum detailed in the installation to match the topic that was there. Creating a temporary entry with the id of the successfully created made the forum work, but then…

2. When I logged in as the user I created during the installation there was no admin option so I check the user meta table and it was down as ‘member’ and not ‘key master’.

I am using the latest bbPress (downloaded this morning), running php 5.2.3 and mysql 5.0.41. Both are near enough out of the box installations and working fully (the only change to mysql was to set password in legacy mode).

Please help as I can’t do anything!

btw, one other minor question completely unrelated. Why when I look at people’s code listed in forums or hyperlinks, is it chopping off the entry at the end of the line and not wrapping? I’m using firefox, haven’t checked against IE.

I have had wordpress 2.2.1 up and running for a while. I just tried to install bbpress, using the table prefixes ‘wp_’, since I think that is necessary to have any authors registered on my wp site to be able to get on to bbpress, and vice versa. My bb’s config.php has the same database info as my wp’s config.

When I ran the install.php file for bb, I recieved some errors:

Second Step

Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

bbPress database error: [Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD COLUMN post_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment

bbPress database error: [Key column ‘post_id’ doesn’t exist in table]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD PRIMARY KEY (post_id)

bbPress database error: [Multiple primary key defined]

ALTER TABLE wp_tags ADD PRIMARY KEY (tag_id)

1. Created table wp_forums

2. Created table wp_topics

3. Created table wp_topicmeta

4. Created table wp_tagged

5. Changed default value of wp_posts.post_status from publish to 0

6. Added column wp_posts.post_id

7. Added column wp_posts.forum_id

8. Added column wp_posts.topic_id

9. Added column wp_posts.poster_id

10. Added column wp_posts.post_text

11. Added column wp_posts.post_time

12. Added column wp_posts.poster_ip

13. Added index wp_posts FULLTEXT KEY post_text (post_text)

14. Changed type of wp_tags.tag_ID from int(11) to bigint(20) unsigned

15. Changed type of wp_tags.tag from varchar(255) to varchar(200)

16. Added column wp_tags.raw_tag

17. Added index wp_tags KEY name (tag)

bbPress database error: [Unknown column ‘post_id’ in ‘field list’]

SELECT post_id, poster_id FROM wp_posts WHERE topic_id = 1 AND post_status = 0 ORDER BY post_time

bbPress database error: [Unknown column ‘post_id’ in ‘where clause’]

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_id = 114

Finished!

---

Now you can log in with the username “admin” and password “*Your WordPress password*”.

However, when I try to log in to my wordpress admin area as the ‘admin’ now, I receive the error:

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I am able to log into bb, but there are multiple errors on each page; this is repeated many times on the page:

“bbPress database error: [Unknown column ‘post_id’ in ‘where clause’]

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_id = 0

Anonymous.”

I would just remove the bbpress completely, just to get wordpress login working again, but bb seems to have altered my wp user data?

thanks

I’ve now made a smilie plugin here:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-smilies

By the way, WordPress’s default smilie detection code and therefore the code converted here in the earlier post are very flawed when it comes to whitespace issues.

I created a patch awhile back that made it work 99% of the time regardless of spaces before, after or at the end/beginning of a sentence.

add this function:

function prepSmilies($string) {return "/(s|^)".quotemeta(trim($string))."(s|$)/";}

then add this near the start of function convert_smilies:

$prep_search = array_map('prepSmilies', $wp_smiliessearch);

then change the $contenst=str_replace line near the end of function covert_smilies:

$content = preg_replace($prep_search, $wp_smiliesreplace, $content);

Now if only it was this easy to tweak wp/bb’s search function to be so much more intelligent.

I edited the Karma Fruit theme for wordpress a bit to match the Bbpress theme. They dont look totally alike. There are some slight differences but I think when you look at it you think

of the Bbpress theme. I loved the Bbpress theme so much I wanted my WordPress to look the same . If you want the file changes let me know. Its just a few lines of css to make the difference in the original look for Karma Fruit.

I also have a idea why *every* user put tags space separated.

I my theme, there is a sentence just before the tag text field that tells users to put spaces …:

<label for="tags-input"><?php printf(__('Enter a few words (called <a href="%s">tags</a>) separated by spaces to help someone find your topic:'), get_tag_page_link()) ?>

And I think that in the original kakumei…

and my translation (in french) also ask user for space separated tags.

to, you can have a “social” bug-fix of this problem : change the cited line in your theme (file = post-form.php). That “social engineering” !

Hey there, i’ve just installed Avatar Upload and it works brilliantly i must say! However identicon for bb-press as posted by louisedade (created by fel) gives me an unexpected error when i try to activate, running this outside of the plugin centre or whatever you want to call it, it gives:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: add_action() in /home/bblocked/public_html/www/forums/my-plugins/identicon.php on line 286

Inside the plugin centre it just says fatal error

I have identicon installed on my wordpress blog and bbpress retrieves all functions from wordpress etc etc intergrated bla bla bla Any ideas?

EDIT: When editing out add_action at the bottom it doesn’t produce any errors… so i don’t know what bbpress’s problem is anyway of getting it to give more info? “Fatal Error” doesn’t explain much lol

No plugins made yet, but it would depend on what the paypal code has in it to tell whether it would be stripped out or not. As well, since each user has their own paypal code (generated by paypal), it would seem impossible for a plugin to keep track of it.

Best bet would be to try and paste the paypal donate code in a post and see if it works. IF not, we might be able to get a plugin to allow it.

There is a plugin here called ‘bbPress Post’ that integrates your wordpress blog comments into your bbPress forum as topics for posts. Fel64 also ‘redid’ this plugin and has it so the posts are created in the bbPress forum from the wordpress blog and all comments are in the forum, but also show up in the wordpress post as comments as well.

Other software blog programs, I haven’t heard of any. Moving over to WordPress is a good option in my mind if you haven’t looked at it already since bbPress and WP are made and developed by many of the same people

I have bbpress(0.8.2) integration with wordpress(2.2.1).

I did not have any forum management before I add a forum to my previous wordpress website. Number of users are increasing daily. So as I did not have any experience with management of a forum, I have some problems.

In the beginning I installed to standard version of bbpress. After one month of forum experience, I want to add moderation plugin. Because my users are not experienced forum users. I have a range from middle school students to company owners or retired workers.

Some of the users sends strange messages, which I dont want to see on my forum.

Some of them do not allow forum rules. And some of them dont know how to use a forum. Namely when they have a new question, they write “I know it is not related to the subject …”.

I think what I need it to make the all messages for new users, moderated. Or all messages are moderated. I dont know why but the moderation plugin do not work with latest version of bbpress. So I have to uninstall the plugin and make messages un-moderated.

I will also try “move it” plugin, for unrelated messages to subject of message.

But what is the best management style for such a community. I think bbpress.org do not need moderation of messages, because at least its community know how to use a forum.

Is it better, not to waste my time to manage the forum. Namely no moderation to messages or just live what ever people writes to the forum. As I said before this is my first forum, and I also dont want people to use msn-type language usage. Am I fascist ?

[Simon99]

Aha, glad I spent an extra couple of minutes searching, as I was about to ask this same question. bbpress looks great btw, I really like the slimline approach.

[Trent Adams]

It was just a conditional that you put around the plugin call in your template that was giving me issues. I removed the conditional call and it worked 100%

Trent

[drmike]

So should we hold off on this one then or what?

or are you just causing problems again, Trent?

[drmike]

I thought you guys were?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

under_title looks like a pretty lame hook; I doubt you can trust it’s existence in every theme and it may get removed entirely in some later version of bbPress.

If you need to add content to a topic page there, I’d just edit your custom theme.

[creatiu]

Sorry I saw that is very simple… you can delete this topic if you want

[Nola1974]

Am I the only one that notices that that link goes to a blogger blog?

I’ve just set up a bbpress forum and everything seemed to work one day, then the next it stopped. All registrations and new posts would lead to a blank page. I couldn’t find the problem in the code, reinstalled a few times, and eventually I found out it was because of akismet. For some reason, it was flagging new registrations and posts as spam or something. It would leave the page blank, so I never knew what was going on.

I’ve removed the API key from my config.php and everything works fine. My forum is currently unlinked because I’m still setting up. But I would like to get akismet working before the spam hits it

[Trent Adams]

It is built into the code. You could disable the ‘call’ for the feed in topic.php if you really wanted to and/or the files that generate it (rss.php, etc)!

Created a forum using the bbpress along with WP integration.

http://smallvoid.com/forum/

I’m very surprised of how much of the HTML-markup is part of the bbpress-core and not just kept in the theme code. It is impossible to create a XHTML compatible forum without modifying the core-files. But I guess quirks mode works okay.

*EDIT* Guess I should have created my own thread, but too late now

for some reason this code although works in pulling in WP header/footer i notice that i cannot access the admin, is this the correct code ?

$bb->WP_BB = true;

require_once( ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ );

update: ok i worked it out, needed the full path

[M]

Another something I never knew I always wanted! Thanks.

[fel64]

What we really need to know is what code you were running. Would be a strange one if it was the latest release; that sort of problem should affect everybody. I’d also be surprised if that was the latest, but if it was you should be prepared for that. Did you maybe modify that file yourself?

[Sam Bauers]

I suppose that’s OK.

[Rhys Wynne]

No worries Trent, glad you could test this!

I have gone about submitting it (forgot a readme file, it can wait until the morning ), but will include one tomorrow.
