add_filter( 'get_profile_keys', 'my_profile_keys' );

Untested, but should work. (Change the lt thing to a less than sign – the bbPress.org forums have some kind of glitch).

I copied it from code editor if I copied it right from edit, it wouldn’t have numbers in it. I just wanted to see how far to go down when I copied it for you all to look at.

I’m using WP 3

[chrishajer]

There should not be line numbers in that file. I wonder if someone on the WordPress side checked in code with line numbers?

What version of WordPress are you using? And honestly, this looks like a WordPress not bbPress issue.

I just noticed that download links at Download page should use a background image, but it cannot be found at the moment.

Full background attribute: url("images/button-grad.png") repeat-x scroll left top #333333

[kevinjohngallagher]

Ah sorry Chris, I wasn’t clear.

What I meant was this:

• We want/need people to test a year’s worth of code in 1.0.3
• Why not download the latest version.
• Apply the the patch to that downloded code.
• Put in a zip file.
• Rename Zip file “bbpress-1.0.3-alpha.zip”
• Upload to website
• Ask people to download and test.

We know we can’t release 1.0.3 into the wild given that it’s whole implementation is questioned by the bugs in 1.1; but it’ll at least give us a heads up on a year’s worth of bugs.

[Gautam Gupta]

We can add the same code (the one I posted in the patch) in bbPress, but BackPress would be a better place for that. Anyone should contact westi as he can fix it.

[Gautam Gupta]

Easy way is deep integration but is highly not recommended as it adds unnecessary extra load on the server. Other way is to code a template yourself which looks similar to your WP theme or hire someone to do that.

[chrishajer]

BackPress is included as an external. I don’t have the ability to update the code here. I can just check in code to bbPress. Then, on some sort of cron schedule, the code that runs bbpress.org/forums is updated. It’s not nightly, as evidenced by the fact that this site is still running r2441 (actually, I think r2442: I tagged it wrong.) So, maybe it’s not automatically done, but the job fails and someone needs to do it manually.

So, I can’t update the BackPress code that is running on this site. I could fix my local installation, and you could fix yours, but I can’t fix it here.

If you want to see what’s included externally, you can download a trunk release from the bottom of a trac page and see that Akismet and BackPress are both missing. When I check out a copy with subversion, those externals are checked out. But I can’t check in to either of those projects.

[chrishajer]

I don’t think I have any ability to update the code that runs at the plugins site, so I can’t fix the plugins search. I believe the search is fixed here in the forums so if they update the code at plugins, it will be fixed.

I don’t know if I can fix the < < thing locally (in an external?) but I would rather they just fix the BackPress bug properly. If we fix it here, then there’s no pressure to fix it in BackPress.

Hello bbPressers! (:

I’ve got some problems with integrating WordPress into my bbPress install.

What am I doing wrong?

http://i45.tinypic.com/15678gn.png

There just simply no $table_prefix in wp-config.php

I hope someone can help me with this.

With Kind Regards,

this is it I did the same way as it shown upove change it sometimes

I left the database collate type as it was and change it

with all the change I made I couldn’t get through

thank aloooooooooot for your help

[chrishajer]

If you open up bb-config.php in your bbpress directory, you can edit it manually and add the database host setting.

/** MySQL hostname */

define( 'BBDB_HOST', 'localhost' );

Change localhost there to whatever host your hosting company told you to use for the database. You should be able to continue installation from there. You might need to restart the installation.

Sweet as refueled, how long do you think it will be available? I’m hoping it’s going to be free?

[_ck_]

Reminder to whomever is doing the subtle fixes I am seeing, the backtick/code tag is still broken here.

example:

testing code, fixed? <?php if (2>1) {echo "testing";} ?>

you should not see &gt/&lt/&quot or multiple ;;; in the above example.

In fact even outside of backticks there is still a htmlentity encoding problem

[_ck_]

The directory is above site root by default but you can put it anywhere if you don’t care about security. The way WP does it is completely insecure on shared servers. Any chmod 777 folder under the webroot is a beautiful target for evil hackers.

A small percentage of people still seem to have problems with the install routine that is supposed to run upon activation and create the table. I had to use a workaround because of a bug with 0.8 and IIs users but that may break it for other people, especially with 1.0

you can try replacing the bb_register_activation_hook line with the conventional line that might finally be working correctly under 1.x

bb_register_plugin_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'bb_attachments_install');

Keep in mind I have not updated bb-attachment in over a year due to a lack of donations, so feel free to write your own. Keep in mind whatever you write will not be compatible/necessary with the eventual version of bbpress that runs as a WP plugin.

[kevinjohngallagher]

I’m clueless about attatchements from anything to bbPress sadly; but that bbCode plugin works a treat

[Andrea.Dintino]

Kevin: like this one -> https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/faq/

are you aware of a way to handle the attachments?

Numediaweb: thanks a lot for your effort, much appreciated!

I’ve been fighting with phpbb for a few days now, it’s leaking everywhere now and I can’t wait to get rid of it

Thanks everybody!

Hi,

I have the same proble as gerikg: the “Chunks of text to remove” boxes numbers keep increasing but no php-code is generated. As well no html-file or any files from pixopoint are generated in the Worpdress upload-folder.

Any idea why?

Cheers,

Thomas

[kevinjohngallagher]

it doesn’t parse the bbcode inside posts (meaning that all the links inside the posts are gone)

Is the bbcode still present in the bbPress database?

if so, then there are a few bbCode parsers for bbPress availible. I know Matt doesn’t like it, and therefore we are the only forum that won’t support it, but i think it only slows adoption

[kevinjohngallagher]

Well, I’m not sure where to report this, but I found a bug with bbpress deep integration with wordpress when the wp-super cache wordpress plugin is installed and activated.

bbpress deep integration is not supported, so I’d report this to the WordPress Plugin Developer, and hopefully they’ll add something to the FAQ

[Andrea.Dintino]

Hi numediaweb,

first of all thank you for the script: it does everything it promises and it’s easy to use

Non surprisingly it still seems to lack a few feature which are probably very hard to develop: it doesn’t parse the bbcode inside posts (meaning that all the links inside the posts are gone) and it doesn’t convert the attachments…

I hope someone will find the time to implement those, as I believe they’re necessary to properly move a forum from one software to another.

Our forum is here

But thanks again anyway

[_ck_]

It’s good that bbpress is still somewhere in the list but don’t kid yourself, you won’t see bbPress as a stable WP plugin this year. It would take a great deal of work to make it happen, Matt would have to assign a dedicated coder which he is not likely to do.

Even if all backward compatibility was completely ignored (which will likely happen) it still could not likely be released this year.

Sam indirectly helped quite a bit by all his work in making 1.x use backpress but there will still have to be major refactoring. JJJ’s plugin attempt still uses backpress. But they can’t do that as an official WordPress plugin, the overhead would be staggering and would instantly get a bad reputation.

I am begging anyone that will listen to NOT call it bbPress because there will be major confusion. There will be nearly ZERO compatibility with all previous bbPress themes, plugins and advice. The entire bbpress.org forum will become a mess of tangled support questions for standalone vs plugin version questions.

Then there will be bbPress plugins that are actually installed into WordPress to supplement bbPress. That will certainly confuse newbies.

Just call it the wp-forums plugin or something like that and make a sub-forum for support on WP.org – leave bbpress.org for the standalone version.

[wtfmatt]

sure am glad we need to play detective to know 2 cents about anything regarding bbpress.

@yutt, your wish will be granted soon enough, don’t worry. actually, matt probably won’t start this site over (bbpress.org). he will just delete it forever, along with all content and standalone packages.

then, he will probably steal half of _ck_’s code (along with a few others), silently, without any acknowledgement.

which is why, regardless of how anyone feels about matt or a plugin or whatever, there should be a fork of some kind for bbpress. at least we can preserve a standalone version and work out some kinks and have a safety net setup before matt blows us into oblivion.

@kevin, what do u mean? the 1.1 fixes are cuz the majority of ppl who install bbpress support a standalone version. why give up now?

and the next person who says “screw a standalone, bbpress isn’t meant as a standalone” needs to save their breath.

also what’s with all the vanilla salesmen? the whole point is that bbpress could be the best standalone forum software out there, esp. when you factor in the fact that along the road of many web projects some devs will decide they want to tie it in with wordpress at some point.
