I really would like this problem to be solved – can anyone help me? x.x

[berfarah]

I copy pasted the code it had in threads – <td class="num">"><?php topic_title(); ?> by <?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

I figured it would do teh same for the front page, but apparently not.

Hello (my first post, yay) – so is there anyone who is planning to make this invitations/referral plug-in? I would find it very useful . Especially when running a contest “bring as much users to my forums as possible and win an iPod”.

[chrishajer]

How did you make it do what it’s doing now?

[berfarah]

Precisely. I want to have a preview of what’s inside the forum, essentially, so that people can click on links from outside them. Kind of like what PunBB has by default. But right now, they way I set it up, it seems to copy the first one for all the forums… I don’t know how I’m supposed to set it up.

Just want to say THANK YOU!!

I gave up converting my phpBB forum months ago:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-phpbb-to-bbpress-database-converter/page/2

But by utilizing the info here (and buy editing the SQL file by hand), I was able to get my forum into the very latest bbPress… it’s even integrated with WP.

http://www.judyhenskefan.com/forums/

Now I get to work on a new design for the forum and blog (as well as add lots of plugins to the new forum).

Thanks again everybody!

[chrishajer]

Can you describe what you are looking for exactly, I am having a hard time envisioning it. So, for example, under your “Community” forum, in addition to the description of that forum, you want to say something like “Latest post: $whatever by $whoever at $time”? For all the different forums?

[berfarah]

Anyone? x.x

[berfarah]

I want to be able to add the latest post made in a forum section on the front page (and everywhere it lists forums).

If I try to do that, it will just keep repeating the value for the first throughout the list.

It’s on this site, if it makes a difference

Thanks in advance for any help

This is the plugin to do exactly what you want:

You might also want to add my “Human Text” plugin to help stop bot (automated) registrations:

I saw something about a PHP function checkdnsrr being disabled in the latest build. That function is used in the bbPress function bb_verify_email.

I think the problem is that checkdnsrr is not available on Windows, and I’m not sure if it’s available on XAMPP. Here is how they fixed it in the latest trunk build:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-includes/registration-functions.php

Here is the original bug report:

OK, so it looks like the plugin version 0.8.3 still works in bbPress 0.9.1 – though I have not yet put it through heavy testing. I found the install directions left a little to be desired so I added more detailed directions below.

However… I still have a question. Some of my users have adopted Gravatars since WP 2.5 was released. The plugin currently does not seem to check for gravatar existence, let alone provide some sort of control over precedence of different sourced avatars.

The installation instructions DO provide you with the function to call to see if a plug-in uploaded/created avatar exists. However, in order to get the precedence working the way I’d like, I need to know how to test for a Gravatar existence as well. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Any ideas?

Install instructions:

1. Download Plugin here:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/

Version 0.8.3 is current at time of this writing.

2. Create the following two folders in your bbpress install:

/my-plugins

/avatars

3. follow instructions (specifically, step 5) in the readme file which tells you where to copy files. Some files in the zip aren’t mentioned (such as indenticon.php). I put those into my-plugins and so far, so good.

4. Activate plugin.

I’m trying to install bbPress on a local Intranet Server (Its on a local network for my employees to use for collaboration.) And I’m getting caught on Step 3. When i put in any email address it says that the Email Address “Appears to be invalid” and doesn’t let me continue, My main email ends in .co.uk which i thought might have been the problem but even .com and .info addresses dont work. Any ideas? (Using the latest version with XAMPP / Apache)

I’ve installed 0.9.0.1 at my test site. Gravatars show in the user profile at their true size of 80×80. However, in the kakumei theme, they are displayed at 48×48. I can’t find where this can be changed. I looked in the CSS and in the post.php file.

Am I blind?

[citizenkeith]

I just set up two new accounts… testuser1 and testuser2.

As testuser1, I posted a new topic.

As Keymaster, I was unable to delete testuser1’s post. Before logging off as Keymaster, I made testuser2 a Moderator.

Logging in as testuser2, I was able to delete testuser1’s post.

I’m running v0.8.3 with WordPress 2.3.3. I am not in a position to upgrade to bb 0.9.01 or WP 2.5 yet, since our forum and website are very active right now.

So… why can’t the Keymaster delete a post?

[jordanton]

Thanks _ck_ that did the trick.

Make sure they have not been flagged as a “bozo” by looking at their profile.

In bbpress 0.9 you can disable the built-in bozo plugin entirely which I actually recommend as it’s more trouble than it’s worth.

(Then use my Human Test plugin to make sure you don’t get bots registering to post spam).

[_ck_]

Find bb-templateskakumeifront-page.php (or the same template name in any alternate theme you might be using) and find the line that says

<?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?> (around line 11) and make it say

<?php if ( 0 && ( $topics || $super_stickies )) : ?>

which will make the if statement always fail and never show the latest discussions. If you ever want to restore it, just remove the zero &&.

Was your bbpress setup before you installed WordPress?

Or did WordPress exist before bbPress? If you had bbPress first, the userbase is actually inside bbPress and not WordPress. It needs to be moved to WordPress (or some different settings in WordPress to use the user db in bbPress). I call that “reverse integration”.

But I’m missing a detail here – did you have working integration with WordPress+bbPress before you upgraded both to latest?

This might be an issue with the two parts of the “secret key” not being setup/synced properly between the two.

I think this is a similar problem posted here (that was never answered)

Hey there,

my problem/question might be funny, but I just don’t get it. Just upgraded bbpress to 0.9.1 and set it up to be integrated with wordpress 2.5 (they both share the same DB).

in the bbpress config, i have the WP_ prefix set and everything seems to sync well.

But now all posts in the bbpress forums done by users that registered at the bbpress forums are signed as “Anonymous” and all these users are neither listed in the bbpress nor in the worspress admin.

To test, i removed the WP_prefix from the bbpress config, then these users are back, but for sure this is not the idea since i’d like to integrate both things.

Am I getting this all wrong, or is there any way to “import” the bbpress users into WP or something (without manually editing the database)?

Thanks!

Christophe

I had an e-mail saying that the latest bbpress broke my port, so I’ve done a re-release

Hello all,

I am new to bbPress, just installed it for the first time ever and I am wondering how can I disable the “Latest Discussions” section so that only the forums show on the front page.

Thanks,

Jordan

I can’t edit the previous post but before I hire for this project, should I do it straight from IPB to bbPress (which is what I need) or should I have a current phpBB to the latest bbPress created instead? The latter assumption being it’s easier for most to convert to phpBB first, from various others with the phpBB community being so active.

[skehoe]

Sam, I have both of these plugins running on the latest version of bbpress .9.0.1 and I’m using wordpress 2.3.3. Even before I installed any of your plugins, the user databases transferred between the two but the user roles have never been assigned correctly. Ever since I installed the moldy cookie plugin, I can login on my forums and go to wordpress but when I got from wordpress to bbpress it logs me out. In addition, I can only log onto bbpress now and not wordpress, wordpress says my password is invalid. So I can login through bbpress and go to wordpress fine, but I can’t do it vice versa. Any suggestions?

EDIT:

Scratch that, it works perfectly now, the problem was that I setup a subdomain forum.chroniccorner.net and it only carried the cookie if I made it chroniccorner.net/bbpress

thanks!

I just reinstalled BBPress. Now the forum appears with the correct style. But I still can not log in. I’m using WordPress 2.5. I installed the latest version of BBpress. I’m using the same password that I use with WordPress.
