here’s another way of forming my question….

this

<h2>Latest Forum Discussions</h2>

<ul>

<?php

global $wpdb;

$query="SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=0 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 10";

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

foreach ($results as $result) {

echo "<li><a href='/forums/topic.php?id=".$result->topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a></li>";

}

?>

</ul>

gets the Latest Forum Discussions, how do I get a USER SPECIFIC Latest Forum Discussions?

[Jim R]

Now…we can at least state between the require code and the get_header();, it works on an otherwise blank page. So this can’t be a WP template issue. Using just the following:

<?php

require_once('/home/jwrbloom/public_html/wp-load.php');

get_header();

?>

I get this: http://www.hoosierhoopsreport.com/wp-test.php

That works as it should. When I put the code in the bbPress template (the require code in bb-config and the get_header wherever bb_get_header is, it doesn’t work.

I just upgraded to the latest version from 0.9 or whatever the number was. It all went perfectly except for one thing.

Now when I go to my profile apge and click “Upload an image for your profile” it just takes me back the forum front page. The same thing happens when I click the “Avatar” tab in the profile page.

Anyone have any ideas because I am stuck with this one?

Hi everyone,

I’m seriously considering dropping FluxBB (that i’m currently using for a large messageboard) and using BBPress.

I would stop using FLuxBB for various reasons (mostly because i feel like FluxBB isn’t really alive anymore development-wise and also because i’ve been using wordpress for many many years and really digg the WP/BBpress community & coding) but… i was wondering is BBPress would do the job for a large messageboard with many users and connections everyday ?

I’ve tested BBPress many times, installed the latest version again yesterday for a test run and tested many plugins, tried customizing themes to see if it would fit my needs etc. and it looks sweet but there’s one thing i can’t tell: would BBPress work fine with many users ? Would it be just as good and even better than FluxBB once i’ve installed the plugins needed and export everything from FluxBB to BBPress ?

Do any of you use BBPress with hundreds of users on a daily basis ? It is running smoothly ? Is it responsive and fast ? It is made to work with huge amount of users and connections ?

Thanx for your feedback. I’d really appreciate any experience you have / had.

Hello,

I’m planning to using bbPress on a WP site/blog I am currently working on, on my local. WordPress is up and running already, a relatively clean install save for a couple of themes, and some entries. No plugins yet. I download bbPress, upload it underneath my WP root directory (where the blog is), change config to match WP config (for my local it’s just changing out the database name; I have a username/password account set up already for each of test installs), and try to install. I get:

DB Error: cannot select

…on all pages. I’ve looked at both bb-config and wp-config and the database values are identical, except for the suffix variable naturally. I’ve checked the database, only wp_* tables are there. I am using a fresh bbPress download.

Just for completeness’ sake (comments removed for brevity):

bb-config.php excerpt:

/** The name of the database for bbPress */

define('DB_NAME', 'pugad-lawin');

/** MySQL database username */

define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘username’ );

/** MySQL database password */

define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’ );

/** MySQL hostname */

define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */

define( ‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’ );

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */

define( ‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ” );

/** snip snip **/

/**

* bbPress Database Table prefix.

*

* You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique

* prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

*/

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;

wp-config.php excerpt:

/** The name of the database for WordPress */

define('DB_NAME', 'pugad-lawin');

/** MySQL database username */

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username’);

/** MySQL database password */

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’);

/** MySQL hostname */

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */

define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

/** snip snip **/

/**

* WordPress Database Table prefix.

*

* You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique

* prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

*/

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

Again, I have a username/password user setup on my local MySQL database for testing purposes, so yes, it is expected that those will be staying the same.

Any info on this would be great. Thanks!

Very interesting, and sad for the project to lose Sam, if that’s the case.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I think Sam doesn’t work for Automattic anymore. Check this link : http://www.wptavern.com/forum/bbpress/860-future-bbpress-undecided.html

Moreover he isn’t listed here too : http://automattic.com/about/

@mwaterous: Sorry, now i know what you mean. Yes, you´re right. This is really not what i want to do.

@all: I tested the above mentioned fix once again with the default theme and got it working after changing the css file too… But as mwaterous said: this fix is not removing the brackets. It just fixes the line break between the brackets. I´d like to completely remove the brackets. Where they´re generated?

[gerikg]

or just <?php forum_name($topic->forum_id);?>

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

ah.. thats what I said. Good will come to use someday.

[gerikg]

Go it <?php global $topic; forum_name($topic->forum_id);?>

with the help of _ck_’s post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/retrieving-forum-id-from-post-id#post-21521

[gerikg]

I don’t know how to write php…

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

forum_name() requires you to pass the forum_id to it. one way of doing is to get the forum_id for the topic_id and then call it. in other words create a function which takes topic_id as argument and do a mysql query to find out the forum_id & then call it.

I don’t think there is a bb-template function which can do that. you can try coding it. its easy enough.

[frasermassey]

Hi

I run a WP site and BBpress forum. Recently upgraded to BBpress latest release version and now when I log in I cannot view any old posts and when I try to create a new topic is reports ‘This topic has been closed’

On the top of dashboard I get the following…

Warning: Division by zero in inetpubvhostssunstridercats.orghttpdocsbbpressbb-includesfunctions.bb-statistics.php on line 214

Warning: Division by zero in inetpubvhostssunstridercats.orghttpdocsbbpressbb-includesfunctions.bb-statistics.php on line 194

Warning: Division by zero in inetpubvhostssunstridercats.orghttpdocsbbpressbb-includesfunctions.bb-statistics.php on line 244

I know this warning is shown if it belives there are no posts but the forum has been fine for a long time and has showing on the overview of the dashboard..

39 forums

82 topics

457 posts

So the posts are still there although I cannot see them or add to them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[gerikg]

How do I add forum name to latest discussion.

so instead of saying,

call for testers on the 0.9 branch and 1.0 trunk

to say,

Requests and Feedback: call for testers on the 0.9 branch and 1.0 trunk

I’ve tried <?php forum_name(); ?>

[bbpros]

Found the solution for the “nofollow” in signatures, similar to the one you proposed for posts:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-signatures/page/2/#post-3179

Ooops, I think we posted at the same time. Ok, I tested it and it works so now all links in the message area are nofollow with no holes and the profile has the follow as I wanted. Very good Thank you, mwaterous.

[bbpros]

Hi, mwaterous. That is FANTASTIC. Thank you!

I have to run some more tests but I think you nailed it. I tested:

Test.com

http://www.test.com (simply written www, no html)

http://test.com (http: but no html)

<a/ a tag)

Except for the 1st one, all were converted into a link and ALL carried the nofollow tag. This is for posting messages by members on regular threads.

I placed that last line anywhere inside /bb-includes/functions.bb-formatting.php, as I didn’t have any of the other files you mentioned. In case others need this, is it possible to stick this one up? When I researched this subject here I found a few topics with at least 7 or 8 members looking for an answer to this problem. But the only answer was provided by you today.

Still ONE MORE spammer alert: if a member places HTML in its signature (using the <a tag) this will escape your filter and the signature will go “follow”

---

On another subject, if I may…

1. Signatures: do they only appear in the first post made by the member? I believe so.

2. I messed up the .css and can’t refix it. The size of the font for the “textarea” where messages are entered is close to nothing and I have to glue my eyes to screen to read what I am writing. This is the only field where the font-size was nuked. Where and in which .css should I fix this?

Thanks!

[johnhiler]

The latest WordPress is definitely the most secure, b/c Automattic has not released security patches for earlier versions. But bbPress 1.0 is not clearly more secure than 0.9 – in fact, because bbPress 1.0 uses BackPress, it’s possibly less secure. Plus 0.9 has been stable for a long time, while 1.0 is new and still has a fair number of bugs.

Integration is easiest when you share a user table. It’s possible to integrate bbPress with other software (WordPress, or even something else) without sharing a user table but it’s not easy and there are no publicly released plugins which allow it.

How many users do you have on your WordPress install?

[batrachoid]

The latest versions of wordpress and bbpress are the most secure and bbpress is designed to integrate with wp. The only possible advantage to keeping an older version of bbpress is the amount of plugins that have not been updated to ensure compatability (in other words, if you want a lot of plugins, stick with 0.9 until the ones you can’t live without are brought up to speed. My recommendation – upgrade now that you don’t have too many plugins to worry about).

If you’re going to upgrade bbpress, do it first.

Install wordpress and integrate with bbpress. Basic (shallow) integration eliminates the need for users to log in to each seperately.

[Mark]

Did you select integration during the installation? I’m assuming so – you should have the following values set in WordPress which you will use during this process to have added to your bb-config.php and the bbpress database;

AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY

NONCE_KEY

AUTH_SALT

LOGGED_IN_SALT

SECURE_AUTH_SALT

The four that go in your bb-config.php (should be handled by the installation):

BB_AUTH_KEY

BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

BB_NONCE_KEY

The three that should be (matched) in your database (the bb_meta table) are:

bb_auth_salt

bb_secure_auth_salt

bb_logged_in_salt

…the rest of the integration allegedly needs no attention with the latest WP/WPMU and bbPress, but I have the bbPress Integration plugin installed on mine anyways, and at the very least it doesn’t hurt. It also gives you some additional cookie information to add to your wp-config.php
