First objective: Prepare your bbpress database

1) Create a database using phpmyadmin or whatever tool your hosting provider gives you to create a mysql database. I like calling mine “bbpress”.

2) Create a database user and give them access to the database you just created. I like calling my user “bbpress” and making a password that is unguessable “K4id83k$h@a” or something.

Second objective: Prepare the bbpress directory

1) Download the latest bbpress installation zip from here: https://bbpress.org/download/

2) Use either an ftp program or the filemanager tool provided by your hosting provider to copy the bbpress zip archive to the root directory of your webserver. Usually something like “public_html”.

3) Use the filemanager tool provided by your hosting provider to unzip the archive into your home directory.

4) Rename the “bbpress” directory to the desired directory name you want to reference in your url. For example if you want: http://www.example.com/forums then rename “bbpress” to “forums”. If you want: http://www.example.com/bbpress then you don’t need to rename the directory at all. This is now your bbpress “home” directory.

5) Delete the bbpress installation archive zip file from your home directory.

6) Advanced: check the permissions of the bbpress home directory. If you want to make things really easy on yourself, make the bbpress home directory world writeable (777) while you run the installation process. (just be sure to change it back when you are finished!)

Final objective: Install bbpress

1) Go to your bbpress home with a browser: http://www.example.com/forums

2) Follow the instructions bbpress gives you in the installation process. You’ll need to provide the username, password, database name and host that you created in objective one.

NOTE: I’d recommend NOT doing the wordpress integration during the install. Just skip it for now. You can set that part up later once bbpress is installed and working.

3) Once you’ve finished following the instructions, you should be good to go!

NOTE: If things go bad and you need to restart the installation process from scratch, you can delete the bb-config.php file from your bbpress home directory and delete the bb_* tables from your database using your database administration tool. Then visit your bbpress home again with your browser to restart the installation process.

XML-RPC Fault #6: No data received from server.

Can you please point your bbPress Mobile to my test forum:

$host = "dump.master5o1.com";

$directory = "/bbpr"; // if you bbPress is in a folder such as /forum



// Make an object to represent our server.

$server = new xmlrpc_client($directory.'/xmlrpc.patched.php?client='.urlencode($brand).'&client_uri='.urlencode($uri), $host, 80);

any idea why my bbpress site would say …

Regisration disabled. This is a demo site. ?

I have used the bbpress integration plug-in on my wordpress site.. the users come through fine…

note: i have two sites:

http://www.terralingua.org/bcdconservation

(this is the one i have linked the database to)

and

http://www.terralingua.org

(underconstruction, in ‘maintenance redirect mode’, meaning it is redirected to my old site, but i enabled registration anyways to test, (has shared users plug-in

[master5o1]

I have set up my own forum for testing and support purposes:

http://dump.master5o1.com/bbpr/

I have also pointed my bbPress Mobile instance to that forum:

http://dump.master5o1.com/mobi/

Sorry to be naiive but is this a plugin or a theme for bbpress? I would be happy to test this for you, as it would be useful for my work.

I have something similar set up for my other wordpress site that has the wp-iphone plug-in and a vast html forum server, it works ok, but it is very useful.

I am not a guru of any sort, but I would be happy to test it for you, provided that I am given some clear guidance. I can find my way around php to make adjustments, but not much yet.

Sorry for the large bump, but I have an issue that needs to be resolved. We also would like the tagging system to be removed. Recently users have been adding in profane, disgusting terms into the tags on threads and its harming our community. A few users have left the community…

So I guess since tags are tied with the coding there is no on-off switch. We cannot delete tags, as it gives us “this tag cannot be deleted” error. We recently upgraded to the latest version.

But “fix” that I found doesn’t fix the problem. It wont help in deleting the tags.

I noticed in this thread that it calls for editing the CSS of the main default CSS. Well the admin uses a custom CSS. Another issue is, well as he put it to me over email:

“Im not removing php files since that’ll cause problem from index when it’ll try to communicate with deleted files.”

We’re all frustrated with the topic tags. Really, there should be an on-off switch. They don’t get used at all. And they are only being used by the trolls in our community.

So is there any other solution to having these tags removed, or at least having users not be able to add tags to threads.

For making bbPress (and WordPress) do what it ain’t supposed to…

please http://bbshowcase.org/forums/

I use WordPress 3.0.1 and BuddyPress Plugin. Installed the latest version of bb attachment plugin from this site but when activated gives the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_option() in /home/www/bla-bla/wp-content/plugins/bb-attachments/bb-attachments.php on line 74

The line itself is as follows:

$bb_attachments=bb_get_option(‘url’).trim(str_replace(array(trim(BBPATH,”/\”),”\”),array(“”,”/”),dirname(__FILE__)),’ /\’).’/icons/’;

Could you, guys, help me with resolving it please

Thank you thank you

Sorry for the newbness of my question, but I was wondering if there’s a way to try out bbpress without having to pay for a cloud server? I want to test out the products before spending any money.

Thx

1) Grab the latest version of the bbPress .pot: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/1.0.2/bbpress.pot

2) Open it with a gettext editor, POEdit is a good one: http://www.poedit.net/

3) Translate it

bbPress supports rtl without problems as well as UTF-8.

To put it simply I need to unhash / decrypt the password to reveal the current password in the database.

I have found this topic http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-administer-my-site#post-73724

which indicates the password is md5 encoded

However testing md5(‘mypass’) in mysql5 produces a value quite different from the ‘mypass’ used in the bbPress table.

Tried downloading the latest from Trac but I got the “invalid header” error. I don’t think I’m gonna bother asking for support about these things, so I’d rather wait for an official alpha release that’s got the bare basics put together. Great job though

[mt_hh]

first off all: … hi!

i installed bb and now i try to use parts of it on other areas of my website (outside of bbpress). i still found out, that i can get a lot of informations when i include

require_once('/path/to/bbpress/bb-load.php');

i also found an “api-plugin”, but unfortunately it won’t work with the latest version of bb (1.xxx)

now i’am very interessed how you work width functions and plugins outside your bbpress-installation.

for example: i will have an contact-form. if the user fill out the form, he will automatically get a board account.

so i need to include the sign-in functions within the validation and stuff.

how would you do it…?

greets from hh/germany

I’m currently testing the bbpress plugin with the trac version. It’s going great however, i’ve noticed that the front page only displays the main forums but not the subforums/subsubforums. For example:

MAIN FORUM 1

MAIN FORUM 2 etc.

Now within these forums I have subforums and subsubforums.

MAINFORUM 1

-Subforum

MAINFORUM 2

-Subforum

–subsubforum 1

–subsubforum 2

What is the code, if any, to allow the front page to display all the forums/subforums/subsubforums?

If there isn’t, i assume that I will have to wait until the trac version is updated, however any help would be most appreciated.

Hi there,

I just have installed WordPress with Buddypress and then I installed bbPress (all latest versions). The Forum Tab shows up, but I can´t create a Topic and the Groups in the dropdown menu doesn´t show up. When i press “suimit” I´m on the frontpage of the forum? Why is that so?

Installation worked fine.

Please help!

Will be trying to hammer out the topic/reply counts this week, as well as a very basic front end New Topic/New Reply form.

That’s all it needs to be functioning in a skeletal capacity for initial proof of concept testing and iteration.

I didn’t write a single line of code during WordCamp NYC; spent most of the time supporting BuddyPress questions with our two new core committers, Paul Gibbs and Boone Gorges.

I leave again this Friday through Monday for the Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit, so this week is a short dev week.

Any interest in doing a development chat in IRC next week?

[moshthepitt]

Wow, looking good. Just started testing – thanks a mil JJJ, and everyone else!
