I have just finished installing BBpress. I have setup all the forums. When I post a topic anywhere, the title appears (including the latest reply info and when it was created), however the content of the topic is not showing anywhere.

I have looked over the entire database and I it looks like its not saving that content in the bb_topics table.

I have not yet touched any code yet, I was just installing it and seeing what this software was like.

My install is running on a database with multiple WordPress sites and I am using the wordpress intergration feature with my users.

I have checked over all the other tables in the database and the missing content is not randomly being saved in any of them.

Any information about this bug and how to fix it would be great.

Thanks

Tickets @1457 & 1460 are closed, implying the /wp-admin forwarding to /login issue is fixed, but it’s not for me on my test install running bbpress 2859 on WP 3.1 rc3. There are 39 other plugins installed, but none of the other plugins are active and I’m using the Twenty for bbpress theme. Any advice?

[Rob Bunch]

@Rich, thanks for the info.

Do you have to do all that stuff before the plugin can be activated?

I installed the latest branch successfully, however, when I tried to activate it, I got a WP_Error saying “The plugin does not have a valid header.”

[Rob Bunch]

Sorry for being so adamant in trying to pin you down on what is essentially a slippery slope at this point… but…

If you, personally, HAD to make a decision today on which to install on a new live site, would you go with test plugin or stand-alone?

Thanks for your time… (and don’t worry… I won’t hold you personally responsible for the risk I incur if you say go with plugin)

[Rob Bunch]

Thanks, JJJ, I really appreciate your time and input. And I realize that it is just bad timing to have to have a forum up next week… But I should have been a little more specific with my question, however…

Is there any risk involved with using the stand alone version? Am I assuming correctly that when the plugin is released it will have a migration feature?

I’d really like to install the test version of the plugin… but are you saying that if I take that risk, it might not be update-able to a beta or even the released version when it comes out?

@chuckmac @LPH2005 – Those meta keys are relatively new, and were an addition that wasn’t backwards compatible with previous development versions. Check this topic for the exact date of the change, but exactly what you found will cause exactly what you describe.

@Rob Bunch – With any prerelease software, you need to understand the risks involved. Just like @chuckmac and @LPH2005 experienced, it’s still possible for there to be architectural changes in the software that aren’t backwards compatible. There are countless changes between the stand alone and plugin versions since the data schema is so different, so certain things needed to be worked around late in the development cycle.

That said, it’s available for download so that you may test it however you are comfortable doing so. Just be aware if something crops up on your live site, there is a limited pool of resources to help you.

It works perfectly for me, though you can try with some debugging, for example try

echo $counter;

inside the foreach loop to see if you have any loop at all. Check the source code if you have anything there.

I’ve figured out that there were some PHP configuration issues with my XAMPP installation, so the error messages are gone now. Sad thing is, your code doesn’t output anything at all.

Well, at first I was trying to do something very similar, but including bb-load.php always gives me errors. Deep integration and all database/cookie connections are working fine, so I’m pretty confused.

If your wordpress and bbpress share the same database you can simply edit sidebar.php

On the top of the file add:

<?php require_once(ABSPATH."/forum/bb-load.php"); ?>

This will give you access to the bbpress functions. (Edit to the path of your bbpress installation)

Then where you are going to output your latest posts add this:

<?php

global $wpdb;

$query = "SELECT * FROM bbp_topics WHERE topic_status='0' ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 6";

$topics = $wpdb->get_results($query);

$counter = 0;

?>

This will find the latest posts, I do it this way so it won’t show the same topic several times if many posts have been made in the same topic. Also edit bbp_ to your bbpress db prefix.

Finally to output simply add something similar to this:

<div id="latest-posts" class="border">

<h2>Latest forum posts</h2>

<?php foreach($topics as $topic) : ?>

<div class="<?php echo $counter % 2 ? "gray" : "white"; ?>"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link($topic->topic_id); ?>"><?php topic_title($post->topic_id); ?></a></div>

<?php $counter++; ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</div>

Edit to your preference on html and css.

There is something wrong with your site, it says fatal error so the plugin is kinda unreachable.
