Dear All,
I’m making a first-time installation of bbPress-1.0.2.zip on localhost, following the instructions at http://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/
I unzipped to wwwrootbbpress, browsed to the installation script “Welcome to the bbPress installer”, created the MySQL database, and for simplicity, skipped WordPress integration.
However, at the final step “Site settings”, when I press the “Save site settings” & “Complete the installation” buttons, I receive the following error…
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 98304 bytes) in F:wwwrootbbpressbb-includesbackpressclass.bp-sql-schema-parser.php on line 170
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
My server is WAMP5 on WinXP; it already serves up a WordPress blog (I’m in “learn about blogs & fora mode”).
Many thanks in advance :>)
We’re interested in helping (PageLines.com)
Tons of experience with WP and BBPress Addons for our themes due out shortly
I’ll try to help out in any way I can. I mentioned in another topic here that bbPress needs a Codex, so I’m all for volunteering some of my time to work on documenting functions and such. I’d even help out with some inline documentation of the code too (though I’m not as familiar with it as WP).
Most of the work I’ve done with bbPress is for my own use here:
http://themehybrid.com/support
I’ve dabbled in bbPress plugin development, but most of the work I do is with themes.
This is all so confusing. I will use bbPress as long as possible (keeping in mind the security issues) and really hope that it will continue to grow. It’s such an elegant platform and a perfect match for WordPress.
I find it odd that it would die like this… and WP is still using it, though I’m sure we’ll all miss _ck_’s great knowledge and contribution. Oh my…
Wow 
The bbPress Showcase has been discontinued.
The removal of Sam Bauers and the halting of bbpress.org 2.0
was a clear and final sign that there is no interest in allowing
bbPress to become a mature, robust program and community.
By now bbPress 1.5 could have been in alpha but instead
bbPress development has been deliberately stagnated,
which should be a very alarming warning to everyone.
In addition, bbShowcase had only six donations in 2009,
which indicated to me there was no interest in my work.
My code will remain on bbpress.org as open source GPL
for those that wish to use it, however I caution you to
consider bbPress's lack of leadership before continuing to use it.

For me, it’s bb-login.php?action=logout. I think your theme might have the link hardcoded. If so, change the link to <?php bb_logout_link(); ?>.
Seems that bbPress is useful for Automatics, even if it is not really profitable.
On the “sticky” topic https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-out-with-bbpress Matt asked YOU for helping bbPress, so if you feel like all of us in this topic the need of bbPress continuation, please put a message there.
At a time, I thought that updates where too frequent. But now, it is really scary too see the slow death of this marvelous forum script.
After her long work for the community, we could perhaps let _CK_ free 
She seems to really want to go away from bbPress coding, I fully respect her choice.
Folks, bbpress is dead because of it doesn’t make money for Automattic I think.
Read one of the last Matt’s topic between the lines –
“… and I just wanted to let everyone know that bbPress is still an important project for the WP community. (It powers our forums and plugin directory, for one thing!) It’s not going away.”
That’s all
Hello,
I think I have these two integrated and working but seems to be a problem with the bbpress keymaster having access to the wp-admin area. The only solution I have so far is to have 2 admins…
one for WP ( a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;} )
&
one for BB ( a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;} )
I have set the role in the bbpress-admin for wp-admins to be keymasters but it doesn’t seem to work…
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
When I installed bbpress I am trying login in to administration but its imposible with this code

I think there is more going on behind the scenes then we know. Sam leaving all of a sudden, no one continuing this project and no reaction from any wordpress developper (or Matt). Seems like they are letting this project die (and just gonna buy simplepress in the near future??).
It’s a shame…
For _ck_ any change we can acces the forum (but lock all topics and dont allow new ones to be created) so we can still benefit from the knowledge already posted there?
Greetz Nuul,
Damn, just as I am on the edge of releasing a cool new plugin
… just checked simplepress, looks much more like a forum than bbpress
Thanks Steven, for posting this announcement.
Really bad that it looks like that bbpress has not some great future.
Actually I think about to convert my bbpress forum into a wordpress site using a theme that looks like a forum 
Can’t be so difficult, the whole structure of bbpress looks too much like wordpress
(… another XX hours lost in the development of bbpress plugins)
I just tried to drop by bbShowcase and found this waiting for anyone visiting

Also, how to I file a code patchset to fix this bug for others?
@hatter
Changing $empty_format = ””;
to
$empty_format = ”/”;
make’s it work.
MANY, MANY thanks. Anyway of me being able to make this work now without having to modify the core bbPress code? My concern is that I want to be able to upgrade bbPress in the future without having to remember I made this modification to the core function.
Ok, I think I see the problem now. If you look at the source code for the page 1 link, it generates an empty href element, which by default will link back to the current page. This is generated in the bb_paginate_links function in bb-includesfunctions.bb-core.php. Can you try something real quick, as a possible fix? Around line 244, you will see the following:
$empty_format = ”;
Change this to:
$empty_format = ‘/’;
This will generate an href of “/” which should lead to the root of your forum. Please let us know if this works.
This may sound kinda stupid, but after looking at the code, can you add topics to your forum to create a page 3 to see if you still have the issue? I’m just wondering if this issue only occurs when you only have 2 pages worth of topics. Can you test this real quick to see if this is the case? I will keep looking into it in the mean time.
Not sure why your site would break with that code. Did you add it to the end of the file, before the ?> ? Also, have you tried turning off permalinks to see if that works for your site?
@hatter
I went into the Admin panel and re-selected to use the “example.com/forums/first-forum” type of permalinks.
This then regenerated the appropriate code for my .htaccess file; HOWEVER, I’m still experiencing the exact same issues.
Also, when I added the “$bb->mod_rewrite = false;” code to my bb-config.php file, my entire site broke. So I remove the “$bb->mod_rewrite = false;” code.
First off I figured out what the problem is. It seems that when you have a self-contained plugin folder installed into the bb-plugins and my-plugins folder the link to that plugin in the Admin area to active (and I imagine de-activate) has a double backslash between the plugin folder name and the actual file
Example:
…. plugins.php?plugin_request=all&action=activate&plugin=user%23smiley-choice\bb-schoice.php&_wp ….
as you can see there is a double backslash between the ‘smiley-choice’ folder name and the actual file ‘bb-schoice.php.
Now @Nightgunner5 I had a look at the patch file code .. my question is what file is this added to?
@hatter
The code you have above is exactly what I have.
You can view the code live at: http://bit.ly/8yfVim
Notice this is Page 2, when the “Previous” link does not work correct. The “Previous” link links to the same page (page 2) and not the frontpage.
Are you using the kakumei template? Here is what I have in my front-page.php file:
<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
</table>
<?php bb_latest_topics_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”nav”>’, ‘after’ => ‘</div>’ ) ); ?>
<?php endif; // $topics or $super_stickies ?>
and have not had any issues.
Can you paste the html code generated for your links to provide more information?
