Anyone know what to put in for this to work? I am thinking I would like to make a required field that has to be blank and if someone fills it out, (this case spammer robot) it automatically denies them. Any thoughts?

It’s been discussed a couple times:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/anonymous-posting

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/anonymous-post

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/my-manager-wants-to-remove-the-need-for-passwords-altogether

I would just make them register. If they can’t be bothered with that, why let them bother you with support questions? Can you think of other places where this is allowed?

Heck they can just register with a fake name and disposable email. It’s not that big a deal.

[evavista]

Is there a way for me to allow guests to create new posts for my forum? For example, a user wants to add a support question but doesn’t want to register.

[Ben L.]

What I want is something where everyone can view topics in a specific forum, but only registered users can reply (normal) and only a specific userlevel and higher can post new topics.

Tried this, it aint working

Everything is going well in terms of building forums for the different cities, but…

Now another issue has come to mind.

I’m not registering users on the main WP blog, so I didn’t integrate bbPress with WP. Maybe I should have.

I’d like to get the header and the navigation bar from the main WP site. And if that’s too much of a pain, I’d at least like to include in bbPress my logo and navigation back to WP. How do I do this?

[chgogrrl99]

Yes…The link above is very much like what I’m trying to do.

I’m sorry if I’m confusing the names of the different segments, I’ll figure them out, but yes, I want each city to have their own categories to post in.

So, if anyone has any advice on how to do that so that it doesn’t look like hell, I’d love to hear it.

My other idea was to do a separate install for each city so in my directory it would be ChicagoForum, NYForum ect. But, I don’t know if that’s even possible and if it is, how would users be able to post in other forums without having to re-register everytime.

You should know, I’m new to this. I’m learning, but re-writing too much code and messing too much with the database probably isn’t a good idea just yet.

Thanks for your help

That was a good lead, but I downloaded the plugin, and although it shows up (unlike the display-name plugin) activating it has no impact on old registrations.

I also tried to register a new account “Test User” — the confirmation screen says, “Your registration as TestUser was successful.” No space.

Although in a wacky twist of fate, the registration did also carry through to WP. And assigned the correct role once the user logged in, albeit with a changed username as indicated above.

[chrishajer]

What if the email confirmations were sent to an admin email instead of the email that they used to register with, then you forwarded it to their email if it’s real or just trash it if it’s not? That seems like it would be a simple plugin or modification.

[joeby]

OK, I got the bb running, seeing the usernames from wp.

Two issues, first, I installed the bb plugin mentioned in the faq (name-display) into the my-plugins sub-directory. It doesn’t show up in the plugins section of bb.

Which makes me wonder if that is the reason users who register on BB are not found on WP. If this is the case, figuring out how to get the plugin active will solve the problem… If it isn’t, any ideas why wp isn’t recognizing bb registrations?

Second, I noticed that WP usernames with a space (Joe West) can not log in to bb with that name, but usenames without spaces (Joe) work fine.

Since this bb install is later than my wp install, I have users who have spaces in their names… Any way to fix this?

[citizenkeith]

I just had a series of bogus users register to my small, friends-only forum. I would LOVE to see a plugin that allows me to approve users.

[chgogrrl99]

Well, guess what? I just went and deleted all of the bbpress database tables and deleted the forums sub-directory.

I’m going to do a fresh install. I think I should have installed bbPress inside the WP subdirectory and I think you and I have discussed this before.

But, I’m an idiot today I guess. So, if you don’t mind, this time when I install I should ftp bbPress to wordpress correct? WP is the main page (top level domain).

So the url would be what? http://www.my_site.com/wordpress/bbpress?

Or, am I totally off base here. Once again, I’m hosted by Yahoo and cannot make a .htaccess file and I will leave my mod_rewrite = false if that makes a difference.

BTW, I’m not going to register users on the main site, so there’s no need to integrate WP with bbPress.

Thanks

[chgogrrl99]

Thank you answering what I realize was a pretty obvious question. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. Thanks again.

[fel64]

Indeed. There’s no reason to integrate if you don’t need users logged into both systems.

[chgogrrl99]

Hi,

Probably a stupid question, but I don’t register users in WP, just ask that they enter name and e-mail. So, that means I don’t have to worry about integrating with WP, right?

[JeffVoegtlin]

After filling in step one of the installation I get this message:

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

bbPress database error: [A table must have at least 1 column]

I’m sorry I don’t understand what all that means. Can someone here help me? Thanks.

hi, I have bbpress and wordpress fully working together, the only issue is that when a user registers with bbpress and leaves a comment it appears as anonymous. I have tried adding post_author but no joy, any ideas?

[ericakadisco]

Hi,

How do you change the size, mainly height, of the input boxes in registration.php like in http://bbpress.org/forums/register.php?

You might need to log out and go to that page to see what I’m talking about. I want to change the height of the input boxes next to username, e-mail, website, etc.

Thanks,

Eric

Here is an example for deactivation hook

//bb_register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, 'GADeactivate'); // Bug in bbPress 0.8.3, do same thing using next line

add_action('bb_deactivate_plugin_' . bb_plugin_basename(__FILE__), 'GADeactivate');

just remove “de” from above, that should work. For example,

bb_register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'hook_fct');

However, I haven’t used activation hook, therefore I don’t know is there a problem with it.

[livibetter]

1. remove /register.php or redirect it to somewhere, or replace it with your page (tell visitors your forum temporarily doesn’t accept new registrations) then you can skip step 2.

2. remove register link from your login-form.php in you template folder.

3. Use this. You may need these

$roles['member']['capabilities'] = array('read' => true);

$roles['moderator']['capabilities'] = array('read' => true);

$roles['administrator']['capabilities'] = array('read' => true);

Here is a link to mine: http://www.68kb.com/2007/10/25/bbpress-plugin-68-gravatars/

From browsing your code mine is way way basic. Just one function and one call. Also mine only uses the posters registered email as well.

[livibetter]

I only tested one case, the dollar sign ‘$’ on my testing forum with commenting out the entire function bb_user_sanitize except last line. I can register with ‘$’ in username, post with that account and the username is showed correctly.

[livibetter]

Aha… I just realized that I didn’t know users can change their registered email. (I use a Key Master to edit normal user’s profile…)

I should remove this Gravatar Email field to make code simpler and add another field Use Gravatar?. Maybe add some other features as well.

I am also waiting Gravatar to allow larger avatar. Once it allow, I will put a new version out.
