arpowers,

Your system requirements state that your bbpress themes can only be used with your corresponding blog themes. Is this true? Or could they work alongside another theme?

Also, have they been tested with IE5 and IE6 (I know, I know… don’t ask.)

Thanks!

It’s already in the code – http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/bb-load.php.source.html#l153

You should really update to the latest version – it has multiple security fixes over your version.

(And btw, config.php is deprecated – bb-config.php is where it’s at!)

[kehlers]

Seemed to have solved this, so I’ll post the answers for anyone else who has this problem.

PHP 5.3+ now requires you to define an object explicitly ($object = new className();). The $bb variable in older versions of bbPress is an object which is implicitly defined in config.php. Thus, if you define it explictly as an object of type stdClass, the error goes away, like so:

$bb = new stdClass();

WARNING: I have not fully tested this, so use at your own risk.

However, I also noted that in bbPress 1.0.2, the whole $bb object seems to be deprecated, so it is likely that if you upgrade to the newest version, the errors will also go away. I can’t upgrade just yet, so I haven’t tried this either.

Cheers!

Glad to hear ‘mass delete users’ is being eyed as well. Will make it easier to get rid of spam users.

Hope they improve the sorting of users as well (one should be able to sort by date registered to see latest ones, if they are spammers, etc)

Hi Fernando,

– bbcode buttons toolbar

what plugin do you use to parse bbcode then?

I don’t read bbcode lite in your post, infact it shouldn’t work for 1.0.2 the one in the repository.

Testing: hello world it doesn’t work even here?

[Alexandru Vornicescu]

It seems that latest version is not working for me because I want to integrate it with old version of WordPress.

Can I get a old version of BBPress? like in wordpress.org

[esprit]

I did need an anonymous posting in my installation of bbPress and after checking few threads I realized that would be probably worth to try do it by my own. So if anyone interested, I am releasing the alpha version of plugin + source patch (yeah its hack for testing.

You could get it on http://trac.espr.it/wiki/bbPress/AnonymousPosting – feel free to raise a ticket there if the plugin is not working or in case of any other problems but I am full time working so don’t promise any quick fixes and reaction.

Just what the plugin actually does. Any non-logged user has a opportunity to log in as anonymous user (with very restrictive permissions) through standard form. He has to pass security question which is possible define in plugin administration.

The code should be working again 1.0.2 version of bbpress.

[Aldo Latino]

I do not use this plugin but I still have this feature. Can you tell me why?

[Michael]

Yes, it works properly with version 1.0.2. You can see it working here:

[OKTeaRoom]

can this work with the new version?

Thanks.

Hi

Well, for a start, if you have a WordPress.com username, you must enable Akismet – it’s the best spam protection you’ll get. I also recommend ‘Human Test for bbPress’ – also good for security.

Here’s a list of the plugins I recommend: (I may miss some because I don’t use all of them, obviously) Items marked with a star are quite important, in your case.

1. Allow Images *

2. Avatar Upload *

3. bbPM (for Personal Messages)

4. bbPress Moderation Suite (not always used in some forums, but very handy to have)

5. bbPress Smilies *

6. bb Topic Icons

7. bb Topic Icons/Support Forum Connector (comes with the above plugin)

8. Burning Tags

9. The MyViews Suite

10. bbPages

11. Project Honey Pot (Spam protection, prevents spam users from registering)

12. Signatures

There are plenty more, but those are my most common ones.

Hope that helps a little.

i have try it, but i get an error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /test/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-auth.php on line 145

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /test/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-auth.php:145) in /test/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 232

any ideas?

[Casemon]

Following your advice, just discovered it is the aggregator WP-O-Matic plugin that was causing this, for some unknown reason.

Thanks for the guidance to tracking this issue down.

[Casemon]

I list the plugins that the forum uses above… have several other plugins in the WP install, but none that should touch login cookies.

I’m at a loss… sure wish BBPress was integrated with WP more; seems like it’s trying to exist in two worlds at once.

[bbrian017]

I uploaded all the files and I’m net getting greeted with the bbPress installer

Any suggestions to why?

I’m installing the latest release and will be integrating with buddy press.

[Lucian Florian]

Hello,

I have to upgrade the BBpress version 0.9 to the latest one and after reading the new features of 1.0, it say “you may have to do minor adjustments to your theme file”.

The reason I am concerned is that my theme contains some modifications including design/css and some of the functionality, but light.

Can anybody guide me about the changes that might affect a custom theme?

Thank you.

[chrishajer]

Never seen it before.

Are you using any plugins that might do it? Something with permissions or pagination or something?

[Casemon]

This is a new installation, so am just seeing it. Didn’t notice it during development, and really have no idea how to track it down.

Integration steps taken:

– bb-config.php has COOKIEPATH, BB_AUTH_KEY, BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY, BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY, BB_NONCE_KEY (all keys match values in wp-config.php) & require_once($_SERVER . ‘/’ . ‘wp-blog-header.php’);

– WordPress-bbPress syncronization plugin v0.8.0 installed & active in both WP & bbP.

– bbP has a few other plugins but nothing I would think would affect any of the above issues (allow images, auto add favs, bbcode buttons, bbcode lite, new post notification).

Thought I followed all the integration steps to the letter, but I guess something is amiss. Seen anything like this before?

[kevinjohngallagher]

We’ve done this before. Relax.

Greatly appreciate you posting Matt, thanks.

With absolute respect though, we know Automattic’s done this before:

• we were here for BBpress 0.9 not integrating to 2 new versions of WordPress and not getting an update when WP did.
• we were here for Sam not posting an update/techy questions answered etc for almost 3 months weeks after 0.9’s release
• we were here for major announcements being slapping into page 3 of non-stickied threads – now apparently they’re half way down IRC logs no-one posts.
• we were here with the BBpress1.0alphas (who remember that fun and games)
• we were here with the awful BBpress1.0 rollout
• we were here with the awful BBpress1.0 testing/bug-fixing (“we have decided to scrap Beta testing and bug fixing and will move to RC1 next week”)
• we were here when the sole developer left
• we’ve had 1 upgrade to BBpress to coincide with 5 updates of WordPress

Thats not me being angry or upset or anything, its just that since the move to BBpress1.0 and the removal of the documentation site to be a porn site, all i can do is ask PM/BAquestions. I know we’re not the most loved bunch by developers (or anyone?? ;-]) but we have a skillset thats sometimes often overlooked by developers.

The developer, BBshowcase.com and BBprogress.org (2 main plugin developers/resources) have left the sinking ship. Heck the ship couldn’t do what it actually said for the last 18 months. With silence from Automattic for months all people could hear was the sound of the band who played us out. It’s great that you’re coming with liferafts and a new engine and any other nautical anaology (really shouldn’t have started this ;-] ), but when you get here and start making the same mistakes I don’t think its wrong for us to at least point them out.

Its great you’re here Matt, its great all the people putitng time and development into it are here (thank you all), and heck even if you don’t take BBpress in a way I personally want, thats cool. I’m not here for a personal agenda of the features i personally want. It just that this project screams out for a PM and instead its got a truly lovely lead developer that everyone likes so much they’re too scared/in-awe to say “Dude, please, take a step back a sec, this is mental”.

We’ve done this before. Relax.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it

I think these are the best instructions thus far for integration:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-coockie-does-not-work#post-61969

There’s nothing specific to 2.9.1 that would make the integration any different from 2.9 or 2.8.6, 2.8.5, etc. There was a change around 2.5 and again around 2.7 (I think) that caused all sorts of problems, but that’s resolved now and since then the 1.0.x version of bbPress should integrate with the latest WordPress.

[chrishajer]

I registered. The forum registration was forced through WordPress. I logged in at WordPress. I appear logged in at the forum. When I try page two, I got the login box from WordPress as you experienced.

When I tried I tried loggin in at bb-login.php with the password that was mailed out by WordPress, it said “incorrect password.”

So, I’d say it has something to do with the integration.

Has it ever worked before and this is new, or since installation it’s always been like this?

Also please note that I’m working on a theme and getting everything integrated in there.

[cybersnac]

I’m using WordPress 2.9.1 and the cookie integration doesn’t seem to be working. I did get the warning that the bbpress integration plug-in had not been tested with my version of WordPress.

Can anyone confirm that this is in fact not working? I believe my settings are correct. If it is confirmed, does anyone have any word on when it will work with 2.9.1?

Thanks very much!

[Casemon]

Anyone else seeing this? Better, anyone know why it happens?

Can you test that SMTP connection with something other than the bbPress plugin? Maybe an email client like Thunderbird or something? The password, before I edited it, had your domain name in it, which didn’t really look like a normal SMTP password. Try the connection with the settings you’re using for the plugin in some other email client to see if it works, then try the plugin.
