Is the phpBB 3.0 converter included in bbPress 1.0 alpha 2? Just curious, I’m interested in testing it out.
And it is hard to test now as it works fine on my machine every time but not on some others…and then it will start working on those for no apparent reason.
I am wondering if upgrading to alpha will help…or maybe make it worse?

Yeah, but it’s broken now anyway, so what’s worse? If you don’t want to change it, I understand.
How about just creating a duplicate of it, duplicate the database, copy over all the files from bbPress, then change the domain name or something, or just access it by subdirectory, all on the same server. See if it’s still broken there. If it is, good, you have a good test environment. Now, try the stock theme, and try turning off plugins one by one (all twenty of them) and see when the problem goes away. You have far from a stock installation, so something in your forum or on your server has changed enough to create this problem.
Thanks for the help.

I cant really switch the theme as my clients customers are using the site as we speak…changing the site now wouldn’t be a great look.
How do I access the error logs?
You didn’t mention what version you’re using.
But, in my old version and in the latest trunk, bb-admin/admin-functions.php contains “bb_user_row” which returns the date the member registered: you can see it in the admin screen for managing users. I imagine duplicating or using that function would get you the the date of registration.
And when viewing a member profile, the “Member Since” text appears there also, with a more nicely formatted date (no time.) If you look at how the date is displayed there I bet you could get it to display where you want.
anyone know if this plugin works with the latest bbpress? (0.9.0.2 )
I cant seem to get it to work.
Plugin is activated, but links do not have _blank added into the <a tag.
any ideas? thank you!!
I just retested on my local copy.
Neither editing my own or anyone else’s profile causes a problem. No matter who I am logged in as.
It has to be something local to your setup.
I just get 404 errors when I try to retrieve your feeds using curl.
I suspect it has something to do with a bad translation string. Try switching your forum to english to test if that fixes it, if so then it is a problem with the language file you are using.
It also may be a problem with the date or time format in your settings.
“It’s in the readme.txt file too….”
What is in there is this:
* bbpress_live_get_forums() – Provides an array of forums
* bbpress_live_get_topics() – Provides an array of the latest topics
But I mean what do I actually put in the theme template file, like sidebar.php. I mean bbpress_live_get_forums() has to be wrapped in some kind of php doesn’t it?
thanks, I download the latest zip file from the link provided but I’m now getting the following error:
Warning: bb_install(/home/wired/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php) [function.bb-install]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/wired/public_html/bbpress/bb-admin/class-install.php on line 106

Yes it does – I installed aplha 2 in about 10 minutes and the login works. I need to test the registration but I’m sure that this will be OK.
You add all your wordpress settings when you install alpha 2 (it’s all form based).
Does the wordpress integration work with the latest version of wordpress now?
Hey, I thought I’d try out the latest 1.0 alpha release (2) but when I go to install I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bb_glob() in /home/wired/public_html/forums/bb-admin/class-install.php on line 322
Any idea how to fix this? One for the bugs list?

Thanks!
BTW, you’ll be happy to know there are three different ways to tun off XML-RPC:
* In settings
* Forcibly, via a plugin
* Just plain delete the file (xmlrpc.php)
But I’d like to think that you could help us to keep it secure instead : )
On a related note, thanks to everyone who has helped out with testing so far. Apparently the first alpha was downloaded over 2,500 times, thanks to all those who took time to report bugs and suggest improvements over that time.
I’m looking forward to further input and feedback as we approach 1.0 beta and beyond.
thanks everyone, ill try it out
Looks like the whole server is gone now… Can’t bring it up at all.
The blank screen is likely a 500 Internal Server Error, so if you have access to error logs, that will help. If not, it’s likely a syntax problem in a template file. I saw at first that you had a custom theme up there. You could try with a stock theme and see if the problem persists.
One other thing I noticed is that the URL appeared incorrect. It looked like this:
http://harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/topic.php?page=2
But the topic ID is missing in that URL. It should look more like this:
http://harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/topic.php?id=9&page=2
Maybe the pagination links in your theme got messed up somehow. I wasn’t able to test any further because I can’t bring up any pages at all on your forum right now.
I’m just loading certain components from my WP Blog to give bbPress the same appearance (header and footer graphics, menu etc.). However it’s not a deep integration via bb-config.php.
I also deleted the entire modified template folder and replaced it with the original Kakumei template for testing reasons but the problem persisted.
What i do in the current stable version is to register a new view called all discussions. It works pretty neat.
I’ve added the ability to do this to the development trunk. If you want to backport this to an older bbPress, you can follow the changes here:
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1786
Then drop the function <?php bb_latest_topics_pages(); ?> wherever you want it in the front-page template to show pagination.
Yes, I realize. So how do I make it a possibility?
Latest discussions on the front page is meant for latest discussions… so paging has never been a possibility there.
Forum pages do provide paging of topics though.
Another thing left is to try it using the default template instead of the custom one you are using and seeing if that changes the behaviour.
You can just switch to it temporarily, then test and switch back.
Thanks, but there will eventually be hundreds of posts and it’s just ridiculous to show 1000 posts on one page.
Any other ideas?
I don’t know of anything for adding page links for the latest discussions, but there is this plugin for changing the number of items being displayed. Maybe that will help?
