Thanks!!! My host just arranged something that redirects all www. to simply http://passionforcinema.com

That leaves two things that I need to activate the Authors forum:

1. How do I prevent users(unregistered ones) from veiwing the forum and using it.

2. How do I prevent users (visitors) from registering for the forum. (I want to handle registrations myself in WP Admin)

[Shawn Maddock]

adergaard, first of all, thanks for the suggestions. I think we’re talking about three different things. nolageek wanted a list of most recent registrations (similar to what shows on the dashboard, I assume, with less info); I was looking for a sortable list of all registered users, and the suggestions you posted would be a recent activity or “currently online”. Now that you mention it, though, I think I may add your ideas too.

[adergaard]

This is meant as help, not as condecending in any way.

Best tip right now is to create one yourself.

Do this (in psuedo code):

– create a table that holds session_id, user_id, and timestamp.

– add a hook for when any page is requested (or ugly way would be to add a call to a function in the header-template).

– The function you call in the header should insert session_id, user_id, and timestamp if the session_id doesn’t already exist. if exist, update it instead. The function should also start by deleting rows older than X minutes (look at time stamp and compare to NOW() )

– in footer file or where ever, make a call to another function you create that populates the values from the table holding session_id, user_id, and timestamp. The rows with a user_id != null -> logged on members. The rows with user_id == null, visitors.

For the most recent user, add “SELECT * FROM bb_users ORDER BY user_registered DESC LIMIT 1”. Wrap it in a function and call it from the footer or where ever you want to display it.

Done.

Not only is bbPress not able to get my WP Login, but when I register as an independent user, even that username password does not allow me to get into bbPress. Could this be my url problem?

my blog is at passionforcinema.com

bbpress is located at root level of the folder bbpress

Now I have two blogs on this server. The root – public_html leads to my other blog DT. At this level is a folder call passionforcinema-com within which is WP contents for my second blog (with a direct url passionforcinema.com)… I’m kind of confused so thought maybe I’ve messed something up because of this structure and the config.php may need different values than what I’ve inserted (as above)

[Nola1974]

I’d like to have a user list at the bottom of the forum, like:

10 registered user. Most recently registered: username3, username2, username1

also, users online.

I was trying to play with it, but kept breaking it.

[Nola1974]

FOr some reason, when I created a new user I never got the e-mail. After trying a few times, unsucessfully to resend the e-mail I deleted the user so that I could re-create it. Immediately after clicking Submit I got an User Not Found message.

Now, my user list contains a blank entry:

ID Username Registered Since Actions

0 Edit

If I try re registering, it wont let me use that name again. (Name is invalid)

Also, why does it say “No role for this blog” in the user list?

[lingmiester]

Hi,

I have a forum running on phpbb2.

I’ve reciently got bbpress set up and running in a breeze! So I am wondering if I can transfer all my databases of posts and users from my phpbb2 site into bbpress, so my users can just login agian, rather than re-register? Also I like to migrate all my posts as well.

[abc12345]

I have a list of users and passwords that I would like to register on my forum. The usernames and passwords are already in another mysql database. Would there be any way of bringing them in? Could I automate this process?

[Nola1974]

Definitely. I think would be a Really Good Thing(tm), actually. (IMHO)

[AphelionZ]

Agreed. Put the fields right there! (this should actually be simple to do with a little template editing) the bbPress dev team might be better to delegate this one…

[Shawn Maddock]

It would be useful if users could be added from the admin section, so admins don’t have to keep logging out and re-registering to add users.

Also, the admin area currently does not allow for editing of user email addys.

[Shawn Maddock]

I second this one… the “you must login or register to post” is a huge psychological barrier to participating.

[zurdognyc]

I started my bbpress forgetting to set my time to -4 Several users registered and now all the timestamps are messed up.

When someone creates a new topic, it shows it as 4 hours into the future, yet when someone posts a topic, it shows up as the correct time.

How do I fix this?/What is causing the +4 rather than -4 (I’m sure I have it set to -4). Also.. how do the times store in the db? By GMT, and then bbpress subtracts 4 OR do they get stored GMT-4 ?

[mozey]

mdawaffe, thanks for the response, okay,

example.com/someblog

my forum is in example.com/forums

i’m not loading wpmu, i was using at a point of time

MU_BB was true,

include_once(‘wp-config’)

(the syntax was right)

However, i took that off since it was messing up my template, it was assuming that /forums is someone that wanted to register.

should i solve that issue FIRST? if so, any ideas?

however, back to main topic, what should i play with in order to share the sessions?

[ear1grey]

Quick Version:

Is it feasible internally, to have a user post a comment to the forum and register at the same time?

Detail:

Something that’s been mentioned already by a regular reader of my blog is that he’d be far less inclined to leave a comment anywhere that he had to register first.

The BBPress registration process is mind-numbingly simple, but users first have to get over the two-step-hurdle of registering and then leaving their comment.

So it strikes me that, since the registration details are the same as you have to provide when blog-commenting some middle ground might be beneficial.

I imagine it working such that when the user submits their comment (topic) their confirmation message is along the lines of:

Thanks! We’ve sent you an email to confirm your address. Please return here using the link we’ve sent you to make your comment visible.

From here it becomes a small step to replace the wordpress comment mechanism with bbpress, which is somehting I’d like to do.

Install succeed and it works all fine but when I register a new user, I can’t receive the mail containg the password, and also can’t receive the mail when I try to recover password.

I have checked the database, and the new register user is already in the database.

Anyone could help me?

Thanks a lot

[mozey]

my wpmu is conviced that

mydomain.com/forums is someone who wants to register with my domain. I added forums in the site admin -> options -> exclude the following names. However, this is only causing this message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /Users/mynick/Sites/wp-content/themes/home/header.php:5) in /Users/mynick/Sites/wp-signup.php on line 347

anyidea anyone!?!?!?

They were working fine up until i added

require_once(“../wp-config.php”)

[dawudm]

Integrated WordPress with bbPress. I’ve added the integration plugins. But can’t get logins to work in bbPress.

I pre-registered a few new users in WordPress. Can login fine in WP. But I can’t even seem to login as admin in bbPress even to write/comment on a post – regardless of admin or other users. Can see an admin screen, but not allowed to do anything there without login – which I can’t do.

No error message comes up. I login, checks the database and returns to the screen. Doesn’t matter which login link I’m using in bbPress, I can’t create/edit a thread, nor can I gain admin access.

Any ideas?

[garymill]

I just downloaded the latest version, deleted the previous tables and did a new install.

Same login problem is being encountered.

the forum is at http://energizedeating.com/blog/forum/

Anyone is welcome to register to confirm and hopefully help me solve this.

When I arrive at the forum, I am greeted as signed in

When I tried to post, I am prompted to login, , but the same login box appears again after and I remain not logined in.

If I enter my login info wrong, I am given an error message.

I hope someone can help.

When I visit a fresh bbPres installation Opera seems to hide the whole text “Register or login:”. The text isn’t visible because it seems to be outside the screen.

I made a screenshot where you can see the problem.

[astereo]

I seem to be having trouble logging in at all in bbpress. I integrated it successfully with WordPress, but I can’t login with my wordpress user name and password. I figured, something must be up, so I registered a new account in bbpress to try it out – password was mailed and everything – and when I went to login, still nothing. The page refreshes but goes nowhere and doesn’t say I’m logged in. Seems like a mod rewrite issue, but I can’t figure out what it is. During the initial install I set the config to clean urls, then used an .htaccess like the following:

# BEGIN BBPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /location_of_install/

Options +MultiViews

</IfModule>

# END BBPress

After doing so I kept getting 404’s when clicking on topics, etc (only to find out later I needed to fix my url at the beginning of config). Now everything is working except logins. Any ideas?
