Nice job!

That’s a strange feature to use an email address that the person didn’t use to register but you made it work so I guess you made it work.

Remember that gravatars are going to be allowed up to 128×128 soon (so says Matt).

[livibetter]

I wrote a simple plugin for Gravatar. I am planning to put files on Extend, but I am still waiting. You can download it from Google Code for now, please visit this plugin’s homepage. You can find a download link and know how to modify your theme in the page.

It is relatively simple:

• Gravatar Email field – This plugin doesn’t use user’s registered email.
• Email Verification – Users need to own the Gravatar Emails which they input.
• Support Default Image
• Size customized (1..80px)

I hope I can hear your thoughts about this plugin.

Well, I don’t know, but since there’s a deregister view following the register view function maybe it’s not necessary.

function bb_register_view( $view, $title, $query_args = '' ) {

global $bb_views;



$view  = bb_slug_sanitize( $view );

$title = wp_specialchars( $title );



if ( !$view || !$title )

return false;



$query_args = wp_parse_args( $query_args );



if ( !$sticky_set = isset($query_args['sticky']) )

$query_args['sticky'] = 'no';



$bb_views[$view]['title']  = $title;

$bb_views[$view]['query']  = $query_args;

$bb_views[$view]['sticky'] = !$sticky_set; // No sticky set => split into stickies and not

return $bb_views[$view];

}



function bb_deregister_view( $view ) {

global $bb_views;



$view = bb_slug_sanitize( $view );

if ( !isset($bb_views[$view]) )

return false;



unset($GLOBALS['bb_views'][$view]);

return true;

}

I’m in trouble if I ever need to create my own views or if the views that are being created in the default-filters.php page are ever used. But until I get a response from someone that knows what’s going on, I’m running bbPress without it register views.

[vitovarducci]

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I filled out all of the proper synchronization options and everything registered correctly.

But when I go to migrate from bbpress post, I receive this error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'db218346346.wp_bbpress_post_posts' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_bbpress_post_posts



WordPress database error: [Table 'db218346346.wp_bbpress_post_posts' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_bbpress_post_posts

How do I fix this?

Thank you for your help!

[iamfyrestorm]

Yes, I commented out the lines that were calling bb_register_view because they pissed me off. I can change it back if you like. I don’t know what their purpose is, but I’m pretty sure it might come back to bite me in the butt at a later date.

[iamfyrestorm]

I’ve done a little more troubleshoot, although it’s gotten me nowhere, but I’ll post it here in the event that someone may be able to help me:

Line 81 in the bb-includes/default-filters.php file is:

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

I did a search in the files and “bb_register_view” pops up in 3 files:

default-filters.php

functions.php

template-functions.php

[Lars-Christian]

Just installed bbPress, and experiencing the exact same problem. Normal installation of WP 2.3 (latest version). No clue what might be wrong either.

Making another user KeyMaster works however. So as a workaround I’ve registered a “dummy” to use for this only. Awesome.

Edit: It turns out my “normal” account doesn’t have permission to edit tags either.

It seems to be a user thing. I’d been posting from a user that’d been established in WordPress. I updated it to Key Master in bbPress, so it should have all powers. But I found that, apart from tags, I couldn’t delete a post either, same no permission message (same as noted by Jolaedana above). So I logged out and logged in as Superadmin, the default account from bbPress installation, and voila, I can do everything, add tags, delete posts.

That doesn’t solve the problem. I haven’t tested to see what happens with other users, both already registered from WP and registered through bbPress. But it’s a workaround for me, and a…clue.

Just noticed, while installing and integrating WP and BBP.

In WP users can register with a username including a space, such as

“Mr Pace”

In BBP this user would not be able to log in, since usernames with spaces does not work. “Mr Pace” is correctly noticed in the admin control panel but when trying to long theres an error message saying that “MrPace” (without the space between Mr and Pace) is not a registr user.

[chrishajer]

Maybe the restrict registration plugin would help:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/44?replies=3

Or even this admin add user plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/29?replies=3

Or this approach:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fight-against-auto-register-robot?replies=1#post-3431

Or this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registration-spam-038-akismet?replies=7#post-6274

I have never had a spam comment posted, but I get lots of spammers who register. I just nuke them every couple of days.

[chrishajer]

To get Akismet working, you need an Akismet key. You need to register at http://wordpress.com/signup/ – you can check the radio button that says “Just a username, please.” and once you have an account, your Akismet key is in their somewhere (been a while since I had to look for it – but I think it’s “My Account > Edit Profile” and they “wordpress.com” key is there.) Once you have the key, you put it in your config.php like this:

$bb->akismet_key = ''; // Example: '0123456789ab

Just put your key in between those quotes, and you’re done.

[txerdiakov]

Hello

Somebody knows if there is a plugin or is going to be added in the next version a system to simplificate the registration process?

It would be great one of this things:

1- anonymous post, just put my name

2- i have to register, but I can choose my password and I don’t need to wait for a registration mail.

The main problem I have is that my users are lazy, so if I make them register and wait for a password they are going away…

Thanks for your comments.

[Sam Bauers]

> I’m looking for the ability to assign any registered user (say, from a dropdown list) to any particular support entry.

This sounds like a nice feature. I’m working on 2.4 at the moment and I’ll consider adding it.

Do you want to be able to specify which users appear in the dropdown, or can I just offer the ability to list all moderators (or some other role)?

[outchy]

Thanks for this update, I just came across it now and implemented it now. Very good indeed.

I’m looking for the ability to assign any registered user (say, from a dropdown list) to any particular support entry. So in other words, up top beneath where it says “This topic is not resolved”, it would say something like “This topic is assigned to “Johnny”.

Do you think this is possible?

[neyoung]

I don’t know if this is a bug or if it is working as intended, but I figured I’d document it.

Explanation of bbpress registration/login

---

When a user registers in bbpress the user_login field in the database is case sensitive. If you register with the name Tom, Tom is put in the database. When a user logs in however, it is not case sensitive. So Tom can log in as tom, TOM, tOM, ToM… you get the point. Now this doesn’t seem like it would pose any problems. But…

Explanation of WPMU registration/login

---

WordPress MU and I’d guess WordPress do things differently. You may run into problems with an integrated site because of this ‘bug’. When a user registers through WPMU the user_login field in the database is converted to all lowercase. If you register with the name Joe, joe is put in the database. This is different from how bbpress does things. So if Bob registers through bbpress with a capital in his login the user_login is set to Bob, but in WPMU if Bob registers with a capital in his login the user_login is set to bob. Just like bbpress, WPMU’s login is not case sensitive. So Joe can login as joe, JOE, jOE, JoE.

The problem occurs if a user registers with a capital letter in bbpress and then tries to login through WPMU. WPMU converts the input in the login field to lower case BEFORE it queries the database. So WPMU checks for user_login with all lowercase letters, but there may be capitals, so the login can fail.

Here’s a step by step explanation

1) Fred registers in bbpress with the name Fred

2) user_login is set as Fred

3) Fred attempts to login to through WPMU using Fred (capitals)

4) WPMU converts Fred to fred BEFORE the database is queried.

5) According to WPMU fred (lowercase) does not exist.

6) Login fails

To fix this I set bbpress to match WPMU’s functionality. To do so I edited the bb_new_user function in the pluggable.php file. I simply added the following line before the database query.

$user_login = strtolower($user_login);

Now when a user registers through bbpress his user_login is set to all lowercase letters.

What I’d like to do is make a plugin that replaces the bb_new_user function with a new one that makes this change so I don’t have to edit a core file, but I’m not that savvy yet.

While this really isn’t a bbpress bug it would be nice if bbpress and WPMU did things the the same so that integration was easier.

[Trent Adams]

As you know about bbPress (hense posting in this forum), the only way to change a username is to do it directly through the database. Since there are very few people who can do this here and I doubt they will, the best would be to just login (or register) as jezmck for future posts.

[jdawson]

Hello,

I have modified our website’s registeration process so it copies over the user information to “bb_users” and the correct permissions for “bb_usermeta” — all working as expected, allowing us one registeration process for the site, AND forum. Excellent.

What I want to do now, is set the cookie information during our website login, so it automatically logs them in to the forum (as both username and password are always the same, as we handle this during registeration).

Problem is, I can’t figure out what bbpress is using to make the md5hash of the cookie name, example: bb_user_f1f348ebf7e6886fc1e743a675246401

If I modify bbpress to force the name (NOT THE VALUE) of the cookie to be, example: “usercookie” and “passwordcookie” — then my login process works and the user can move around the site and message board seemlessly, but this isn’t working as intended.

So simply, can someone tell me how the cookie name is created so I can do the same in my own login process! Thank you.

[enquirer32]

I followed the instructions to change the template and delete the register.php file in the root but get the following error message which doesn’t look very good even if it works:

URL /register.php was not found on this server.

Which file does one edit to get rid of the Register option?

[fel64]

Sounds like no amount of messing with the template could save you from this fate. I have no idea why you would have done this, but have you replaced profile.php in the root of bb with a template file? This is what profile.php should look like. (Your custom templates should go in a my-templates/ folder in root.)

<?php

require_once('./bb-load.php');



bb_repermalink(); // The magic happens here.



if ( $self ) {

if ( strpos($self, '.php') !== false ) {

require($self);

} else {

require( BBPATH . 'profile-base.php' );

}

return;

}



$reg_time = strtotime( $user->user_registered );

$profile_info_keys = get_profile_info_keys();



if ( !isset( $_GET['updated'] ) )

$updated = false;

else

$updated = true;



do_action( 'bb_profile.php_pre_db', $user_id );



if ( isset($user->is_bozo) && $user->is_bozo && $user->ID != bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ) && !bb_current_user_can( 'moderate' ) )

$profile_info_keys = array();



$posts = get_recent_user_replies( $user_id );

$threads = get_recent_user_threads( $user_id );



do_action( 'bb_profile.php', $user_id );



bb_load_template( 'profile.php', array('reg_time', 'profile_info_keys', 'updated', 'threads') );

?>

[kernow]

I have a few concerns, which I’d like an opinion on:

1. Some new members get the title ‘keymaster’, which I change/delete/inactivate to something less worrying.
2. The total member list is quoted as 314, whereas I have approx 80 registered members
3. Since the last upgrade the Censor plugin has ceased to function.

Any suggestions as to what problems I might be experiencing…?

[chrishajer]

I registered, and could not log in with my username and password. Also, I never received a welcome email. So, something is screwy, for sure. Can you look in the database and be sure the users were added? Are you integrated with your WordPress install?

[wpitn2shape]

Perhaps it’s that I’m using ThemePress, but styling the login doesn’t work. I suppose I’ll have to actually edit the file, but it’s a file that shouldn’t cause upload trouble. I don’t want to have to do that much though.

Also, how do I change the register/login link at the bottom of a post if one’s not logged in to a little form itself? I can’t find this in my theme, and I’d like to change that.

It’s important to keep things on the WP side since I’m using MU.

I didn’t find another post on this by the way. And thanks for any help!
