Our site allmad.org (a ranting community) is using the latest bbPress 2.0-RC3, and it’s working awesomely with BuddyPress 1.5! (When updating the plugin, don’t forget to visit the WP permalinks and resave them, else links to forums may not work.) I love how every time someone posts a reply or new topic, it shows up on their profile and on the Activity Stream – it’s so awesome! Keep up the good work guys!!!

Always more useful to test the trac version than the releases. The trac version is the most up-to-date code available.

No timeline, but the sooner the better.

[pimarts]

I can’t help you with your first question but you can’t use the 1.x plugins for 2.x, they work differently. Just search the WordPress plugin repository for bbpress to find the latest/newest plugins that work with bbpress 2.x

[pimarts]

I really don’t have the time at the moment, otherwise I might have given it a go. I’ll try to keep responding to the questions that hit these forums though.

Did see a lot of updates in trac the other day, nice one. Is it useful if I test the latest version in trac on the beta version of my site, or should I just wait for the final version to drop?

What’s the timetable on this documentation thing by the way? Others might want to know too. When do you want to start it and when do you need it ready?

… I should probably post my filter mini-plugin in case anyone else is testing this:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: bbPress Registration Redirect

Plugin URI: http://sillybean.net/

Version: 0.2

Author: Stephanie Leary

*/



add_filter( 'bbp_user_register_redirect_to', 'scl_print_bbp_redirect' );

function scl_print_bbp_redirect($url) {

return 'http://forum.sillybean.net/register/confirm/';

}

?>

[Stephanie Leary]

OK, changeset #3450 only partially fixes this problem. Even with a ‘bbp_user_register_redirect_to’ filter, the redirect_to hidden field still gets stomped by the first if() in bbp_redirect_to_field() — line 741.

I tested this on my multisite install. With that first if() commented out, the redirect_to field is set correctly — but even so, I get redirected to the main site’s wp-signup.php.

ETA: OH! I think we’re seeing two different problems here.

On Jared’s single-site install, I suspect what’s happening is that the page containing the registration shortcode just isn’t doing anything with the checkemail query arg. So, it would be fine to have the user redirected back to that page, as long as the query arg generated the proper “check your email” notice.

What I’m seeing on multisite actually looks like this bug in WP itself.

Thank you for this. I didn’t know I could block by IP at all, any way at all, without a plugin.

Testing “Spam Free WordPress” now. At first glance it is effortless, automatic and accurate. I may soon test it on bbPress.

@johnjamesjacoby I am looking forward to being able to install BuddyPress on my site, which now uses bbPress 2.0.

A few hours ago, I saw there was a new RC avaiable, I checked the changelog and I found “BuddyPress integration”. I spent the last few hours trying to know what this means, because I installed buddyPress and it does not recognise bbPress plugin(both from the SVN repository).

Does “BuddyPress integration” mean that bbPress now provides an API for buddyPress but buddyPress is not using it yet?

If this is the case, I know I can have both v1 and v2 forums working(as I saw in buddyPress you testing website) but I don’t know if it worths, should I wait? Do you have any idea(more or less) about how long is it going to take you to make this integration?

Thanks and congratulations to the team.

Three weeks ago I set out to test bbPress with Akismet. Here is what I found.

– Akismet requires manual spam deletion under all circumstances

– Akismet cannot block by IP

– Akismet cannot prevent users from creating tags in bbPress. All bogus tags must be removed manually. It is not clear to me why users are allowed to create tags to begin with.

I took a fit this AM and turned off both WP Comments and bbPress. All I really want to do is create content. However, there is another part of me that is not ready to be directed by cockroaches.

I am wondering if Spammer Blocker will play well with Akismet. I am also wondering if there are other worthwhile strategies I have not yet found.

Comments?

[Anointed]

I didn’t play with it much, and can’t confirm that this works across all browsers, but from a quick test it only took me one line of css in order to achieve what you were after.

.bbp-forums { border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 2px 50px; float: left; width: 100%; }

**This is going to be much easier when working with a theme that does not use tables, as you can’t apply margins to table cells like you would expect with normal divs.

[Milan Petrovic]

No, problem is with bbPress. When the permalinks in WordPress are enabled, this works fine. If the permalinks are disabled, URL’s are not generated properly, and some parts of URL are missing. I have confirmed this with TwentyTen theme built in bbPress. All tested with lates bbPress from SVN trunk.

Hi. I installed bbpress 2 years ago and then removed all the program files via FTP after all the php files got hacked, but I just noticed that the database files are still there. I would like to reinstall bbpress and reconnect to that database to preserve the old posts.

I have uploaded the latest bbpress install files to my site and can access the install screen http://myplasticfreelife.com/discuss/install.php. But when I enter the database information, I get the error “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.”

Is there a workaround? Is it having a problem because the bbpress tables already exist? Is there a way to reconnect?

Thanks,

Beth Terry

I’ve just updated to the latest version of the plugin and I’m not getting the error I mentioned before.

Nonetheless, when I update my user profile (from the forum profile), everything seems to be working well except for when I update de Yahoo! and Gtalk info which in both cases are not being saved or updated.

[ineken]

Hi all,

I’m looking for a way to create a widget to mix the last wordpress comment with the latest responses forums.

This widget should be able to distinguish between two types of entry through a different CSS and enter the name of the user’s avatar, …

Could you help me?

At first I thought retrieve the 2 rss, yahoo pipes through the cross, but there is no avatar.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Ineken

Arf, i miss the categoriy of my topic, sorry :'(

[Suzi Wilson]

Just starting to test my bbpress installation and I can’t access any of the bbpress screens due to this error. When I look at bb-config.php the DB names it is referencing don’t make sense to me.

I’m sure there is something I’ve done that is totally naive. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

[dublub]

I get the same error with the latest versions of bbPress Plugin and WordPress. I tried a fresh install but i get the same error.

If i remove the code from common functions the update works ok.

if ( $bbp->errors->get_error_codes() )

$has_errors = true;

But i’m afraid without that code there won’t be any error printed

Does anyone have another solution?

[frankpereiro]

I don’t know if this is the right forum for this. Nevertheless, I’ve done some search in the forums and haven’t seen an answer or topic with this problem:

Whenever I try to update my user profile (with the Yahoo info, for example) I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_error_codes() on a non-object in /**********/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php on line 1392

I’m using the latest version (2.0-rc-2) of the bbPress plugin for WordPress.

[_ck_]

I just realized I am not escaping < and > in that code.

It most probably should be.

So anywhere you do not see a slash in front, add one, ie.

<

>

actually to be more clear, try this

$text = preg_replace('|<a (.*)rel=['"]nofollow['"]([^>]+)?>|iU','<a $1>', $text);	// strip ALL nofollow

$text = preg_replace('|<a (?[^>]+http//))(?!([^>]+'.$domain.'))([^>]+)>|iU', '<a $1 rel="nofollow" target="_blank">', $text);

sorry, don’t have time to debug it more, someone will have to throw it into a regex tester and check it against some same sample links

[LindaHarrison]

I have been struggling with this for hours. The forum I am trying to build is at http://www.AdeAdepitan.com/forums

I wanted to install “bbGrunge” and then edit it to fit with my theme. However, I am having no luck installing it.

I would really appreciate it if someone explained in really detailed but using simple terms, how I to install bbGrunge on a wordpress.org bbpress forum.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I think I’m probably missing something very simple, but I’ve searched and searched and tested several different things, but nothing is working.

[Anointed]

cool, didn’t know you could set a default forum… where is that setting located?

I can test and report back if it works for me

[erlaci]

Hi,

Im playing around with the latest beta of bbpress and I would like to use a translation made available. Hovewer if I set for instance define(‘BBLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);

after downloading and copying to the right folder the translation files nothing happens. I searched the lastest edition for BBLANG but it isnt even there. What should I do?

Thanks

[med]

if its not getting updates, it doesn’t mean it need updates.

Fair enough. But what about the security issues I’ve been reading about? The tool hasn’t been updated in years, and some of the security issues seem to be more recent than the latest update.

[Alessio Lo Vecchio]

thanks i’m really enjoying bbpress plugin version, after some day of testing now i think it’s really great

Hello

I wish I had on my site/blog WordPress both: a social network and a forum.

<b>But what is the best option for integrating it with 100% quality?</b>

What I tried:

First installed BuddyPress and activate forum, then, within groups is possible to have discussion forums.

But the problem is that when accessing http://www.site.com/forums list just the latest topics and the group they belong to.

And I would need, beyond the scope of forum for each group, a global forum for the entire site, to divide the topics into categories (“forums” different).

What suggestions?

Should I install BuddyPress bbPress and WordPress as separate plugins? This does not affect integration?
