hello all.

I have tried some search about this but did not find anything.

I’d need the new users on a bbPress forum to be set to Inactive by default.

the reason is I need to set up a forum for an experiment in secondary schools. we have to take in account the possibility of rude behavior from people not participating to the experiment.

the administrator is not likely to be very present on line, so it would be a problem if anybody could just register and start posting indesiderable contents, that could sit there for a while.

a temporary fix would be setting the default role for users to Inactive (the administrator then has the possibility to verify that the user is really who he say to be). I’ve tried to look into the code, but was not able to figure it out how to do it. hints would be welcomed.

another option (the one I’m currently adopting) is removing the register function and putting something like “write to this email address if you want to be registered”, then using this plugin to allow administrator to add users:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-add-user/

but this is not how really we want it to be. an example of it is the “candidate” system used in vanilla forum: you candidate yourself to be a member of the forum, and if admin agree then you’re in. (why then not using vanilla? because there’s a graphic customization people have worked into, and we are running very short on deadline, say the url is in this morning newspaper… ).

I’d also be grateful for any other suggestions.

Interesting…

I don’t know why it would redirect to the home page vs. giving you a failed login attempt. I registered, received my email, tried logging in, and it seemed like it just redirected to the front page of the forum again.

Is the WordPress installation going to be here:

http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate/ ?

If so, with integration, the bbPress installation should be here then (I believe):

http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate/Forums/

but it’s actually here:

http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/

I wonder if the cookie path is wrong and that prevents bbPress from setting the proper cookie and thus thinks you’re not logged in, or that you logged back out since there is no valid cookie?

I checked the cookies that were set and I have a cookie path of /puppyplaydate/ for wordpressuser and wordpresspass. I would expect the cookie path to be /Forums/ with this setup.

As a test, I just stopped accepting cookies for my site (integrated with WordPress as well), then tried logging in. If I tried to log in while I was viewing a forum, it just silently redirected me to the forum home page. This seems like confirmation that it’s a cookie issue at this point. I can make mine do what yours is doing.

If I set the 2 cookies manually in Firefox, I am logged in! Check this out:

Screenshot of the cookies I manually set (note path /Forums/):

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ppd-cookies.png

Here is the response from your server where it tries to set the cookies with a path of /puppyplaydate/:

HTH

Integration works fine.

If you are using WordPress 2.3.x you need bbPress 0.8.3.x and if you are using WordPress trunk (2.5 alpha) you should use bbPress trunk r1075.

Essentially cookie hashes and paths have to be sync’ed and a plugin is needed on the bbPress side to set WordPress roles if they register through bbPress.

I’ve assembled most of the details here:

Or you can comb through the integration tag here:

[chrishajer]

Did you clear out the user in WordPress and start over by creating a new user? Did you reinstall WordPress as well? I wonder if any modification were made by bbPress to the WordPress tables when you tried to install bbPress with the same table prefix for both bbPress and WordPress.

Can you try just logging in as a user, or registering a new user, then logging in? Does that work, and does the forum work, it’s just that you can’t access bb-admin directly?

The 2 key issues are server uptime and email reliability.

In the short 4 months that my forum has been running, I’ve had so many incidences of users registering 2 usernames. I’ve come to learn that the 2nd one is out of frustration that the email containing the password did not arrive.

This weekend, I have had no outbound email and sick of spending money on AdWords to bring in people that can’t sign up.

Apart from the registration email, I am using both Auto Favorite & Post Notification plugins. Therefore, reliable email is very important to maintain posting activity.

I’ve read alot about concerns that bbPress isn’t sending email. After extensive testing and in my situation, the problem is with the host.

I’m looking to avoid dedicated hosting at this time because my day job is funding this venture already. Can anyone recommend a hosting service that offers good reliability in both uptime and email?

[egonvomberg]

no I didn´t delete the bbpress data. only the wpdata.

I reinstalled all, but still no admin panel.

Users can still register and posting are still there and possible to make.

is there no other way?

[Anne-Lise]

My bbPress install is integrated with my WordPress install and they serve members of my orchestra. Both the WP-part as the bbPress-part are only accessible for registered users. However we have a few kinds of users: substitutes (users that fill in vacancies temporarily), aspiring members (users that want to become member but who haven’t auditioned yet) en members.

In bbPress I want to block the substitutes and give the aspiring members an inactive role. However, it doesn’t work. When I edit someone’s profile and set his role to blocked or inactive and click edit profile, nothing’s changed.

I’m using bbPress 0.8.3.1.

I deleted rss.php (just as I did register.php) from the core. I suppose deleting core files isn’t as bad as editing them, though I don’t like the solution. I also am in the process of editing the theme.

[Göran]

I want to call my forum “Görans digitaltips” but when I did that, “ö” was not displayed correctly. I then wrote

$bb->name = ‘Görans Digitaltips Forum’;

in the config.php but when I register as another user I get my password in a letter with the subject “Görans Digitaltips Forum: Lösenord”.

How can I solve this?

[Burkie]

Just created a simple app at http://ifancy.org people can just register, add someone they fancy e.g. workmate, blogger, celebrity etc. and see how many others fancy this person. Lots more features coming soon.

[Andrew]

I am looking for a generalized way to stop all feeds from BBPress.

Is there a core file I can delete? I deleted register.php to prevent any user registrations (and removed any links to it). Where is the ‘beating heart’ of the RSS so I can rip that out too?

Note – I was using the private categories plugin which did this nicely but I have migrated to Amember and am coding the security right into the theme.

[Olaf Lederer]

Hi Trent, thanks for the feedback!

just checked the suggested plugin and using some activation code makes sense. Is this something for the bbress core version? And is this really needed? At the moment I have ~50 new registrations a day because people need to register to download some PHP classes from my website.

Sure some of them have entered their URL to the profile, but this is not accessible until thy made a first post.

[Olaf Lederer]

I have more than 1000 registrations now, I’m not sure what happens if some but will start to register fake accounts. If this becomes a problem you need to something else.

bbpress works with akismet and this works fine on wordpress

[Sam Bauers]

Because of the restrictions on the bbPress logins in the current version I suggest using bbPress for registration/login. Logout can be either.

With WordPress 2.5 and the next bbPress 0.8.x they will be as good as each other.

Please don’t bump.

bump

Which is best to use for registering and logging in and out (for integrated sites, of course), the WP or bbPress pages?

thx

version 0.8.3.1 – bbpress and WordPress (Version 2.3.2).. Nt Box

Clarification Below.

do you now of any bugs in the synchronizing of wp an bbp. I am testing these sytems and having issues with email registrations. I get an email notification in wp letting me know there is a new registrant but no registration password and link come through. When you register in bpress nothing happens other then saying password was sent.

Even more odd is the fact that email notification for favorites in bbpress works just fine. I have no idea what the issue is. can anyone help me.. At this point I would donate to your cause if you can get this to work/synchronize.

I don’t know how to write plug-ins, but I just installed bbPress and wanted to be able to approve new users. I messed around with the code just enough to get what I needed working, here are the changes I made:

Starting with the function bb_send_pass function in bb-includes/registration-functions.php: I added an optional third parameters, so the function signature now looks like:

function bb_send_pass( $user, $pass, $toAdmin = false ) {

If the toAdmin flag is set I want this email to go to me, not the requesting user. So, just above the “$message = …” line, I added this:

$recipient = bb_get_user_email( $user->ID );

$rawRecipient = $recipient;

if ($toAdmin)

$recipient = 'myemail@example.com';

I’m sure there is a better way to grab an administrator’s email, but like I said, I don’t know anything about bbPress… And what’s this about $rawRecipient? To make my life easier, I’m also including the email address in the email’s body (so I can forward it to the correct person without having to look up their info again). I did this by adding “Your email:” to the “$message = …” line:

$message = __("Your username is: %1$s nYour password is: %2$s nYour email is: %4$s nYou can now log in: %3

$s nnEnjoy!");

And then including “$rawRecipient” as the 4th parameter to the sprintf call at the end of the function. Again, you could get fancy here (only include the email address if it’s going to an admin, for example), but whatever, this works.

Okay, with that function done, we just need to change the registration code that calls it. I went to the bb_new_user function in bb-includes/pluggable.php. Just before that function returns there’s an “if ( defined (‘BB_INSTALLING’) )” check. The else case calls bb_send_pass (the function we just changed). Add a third parameter (sending ‘true’), and the registration code should now send an email to you instead of the newly registered user.

As a final touch, I updated the registration success page (bb-templates/kakumei/register-success.php in my case), telling the user that an admin will verify their request and then email them.

Hope this helps someone out.

Hi there,

Users can register and login in to my wordpress section of my site, and this automatically makes then a bbpress member also. The problem however affects only people whose user name contains a space in it. Though they are resisted members of both wordpress and bbpress, they cannot log into bbpress.

Any ideas?

[goldfiinger]

Changed my config information & followed the steps at DevLounge

Now when i try to go to the install page @

http://the3rdplace.co.uk/home/bbpress/

I get this error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/

default-filters.php on line 81

This is line 81 :

bb_register_view( ‘no-replies’, __(‘Topics with no replies’), array( ‘post_count’ => 1 ) );

Anyone have any advice on what i should do ?

Many thanks in advance

[bedbugger]

kboan23,

Even if you manually fix the role of users registered in bbpress to “subscriber” the display name field is still blank. So unless I am missing something, you do need to fix this problem. Otherwise, bbpress registrants become subscribers login at wordpress and their username shows as Anonymous.

[livibetter]

I am thinking to use another approach (current method is extremely stupid, just like me):

Using activate_before usermeta. When user registering, activate_before is set as registered + 72 hours (depends on current setting). User need to log in within 72 hours, or to be deleted.

No need to plug bb_check_login().

Also have something remove_method for doing deletion or switching to inactive role when user doesn’t log in before deadline. And having last_login can allow admin to make a yearly cleaning up those accounts didn’t log in for a long time. Ask them (by emails?) to log in, or will be switch to inactive role and send a notification mail for a response from them, then could be deleted in anytime if they don’t respond.

Just some thoughts, what do you think?

[livibetter]

I remember there is a post about this. Anyway, I made one.

Put this in plugin folder: http://bbpress.pastebin.com/f271761bf , use any filename you like

And this to register-success.php of template:

<?php

global $STP_password;

if ($STP_password)

echo "<p>Your password is: $STP_password</p>";

?>

Activate plugin and test.

[itissue]

Is there a way to print out the password after someone registers instead of sending an email? My web host won’t allow sending emails through web pages. I looked at topics already written but I was unable to implement the code because I have version 8.3. If anyone can give me the code I have to add or modify, that would be great.

Thanks,

Sue
