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.

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.

[Sam Bauers]

It should work. But I haven’t tested it. Database integration should be fine. Cookie integration will almost certainly work if you only have one domain that you run wpmu on. e.g. WPMU main site = example.org, WPMU blogs = *.example.org

[Sam Bauers]

We don’t overwrite tables if they are there already, so the wp_user/meta tables should still be there.

It’s really hard to tell what’s going on for you. Perhaps you should try and do a non-integrated install first just as a test.

[txmom]

Thanks, seems I had a bad copy, downloaded and installed a fresh copy.

Seems to be working with wordpress, I was already logged into wordpress and I’m the forums shows me that I’m logged in. Now to test and customize.

It did show minor errors:

Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key

Key column ‘post_id’ doesn’t exist in table

Duplicate key name ‘user_nicename’

>>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation.

Anything I should be concerned about?

Thanks again.

To be considered a major player in the forum world, it is necessary to have at least some option for attaching files to posts.

Personally, I was actually shocked to learn that this was not a feature until I installed it to test it out.

bbpress is listed up there with the most popular free forum software: phpbb, yaf, smf, vanilla. But it is the ONLY one which LACKS the ability to attach a file.

I hope that this issue is addressed before the 1.0 release, I think it should be the FIRST priority for a new feature.

IF YOU AGREE – Please respond to this post to let the developers know that this is a feature you are looking for in a forum and whether you think it should be intrinsic (like almost every other forum) and not a plug-in.

[bensig]

bbPress seems to be the ONLY forum software that I’ve been testing which does not have this feature.

In fact, the ability to attach items to forum posts (as well as the administrative authority to limit the size of these attachments) seems critical to almost any forum – especially ones that I have setup for clients.

I would consider this more important than an avatar. It should be a high priority on the development list for the forum – a feature, not a plug-in.

From what I’ve seen, yetanotherforum.net handles attachments very well – but I prefer the look of bbpress.

Let’s put the pressure on bbpress dev teams…

Anyone else have good experiences with a forum that allows image attachments?

[zapata]

I would like to revert back to an old version of bbPress where my forum was private and inaccessible instead of using the latest version where no solution exists to this problem so far. The privacy is of utmost importance without which i cannot run the forums.

could someone please tell me what modifications do I need to make in the database before moving the old files?

I for sure know that the integration part did not work with my wp 2.5 version. is there a solution to making an old version of bbPress handshake with wp 2.5?

[stevepm]

I am using the latest versions of both wordpress and bbpress. It seems that when a post is made on the forum, it doesn’t update in the amount of comments a blog post has, but vice versa works just fine. also, when I delete the comments through wordpress admin panel they are deleted in the admin panel, but are still there in the post.

[rbredow]

I’m newer to bbPress but I promise I’ve read all the threads on fixing login problems for the key_master, but they aren’t working for me with the latest version.

First, everything worked great with a vanilla install. I then used this converter to import my phpbb forums. Unfortunately, this converter has a couple of issues, including messing up the ID of the admin user.

So, I simply upgraded a few of my users to keymasters and got rid of the original admin user. Unfortunately, even though I have multiple keymaster users, when I log in as one, I cannot access the control panel.

I’ve been looking through the databases and everything looks right to me. My example user is “rob” with an ID of “3”. In bb_usermeta user_id 3’s bb_capabilities are set a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}.

I tried this solution in the bb-config.php file, since there isn’t a config.php file anymore, but it didn’t seem to do anything. Oddly, I couldn’t get it to emit an error either and I don’t see the function new_keymaster referred to anywhere in the current code so I’m not sure that still works.

Thanks in advance for any help with this. Right now, I’m stumped.

I’ve got the same problem with no plugins enabled, tested under both IE and Firefox

[Covi]

I have troubles too with cookies, login inconsistent between WordPress and BBpress:

Login on WordPress -> Log out on BBpress and vice versa

PD: Until the latest version, with the hack for 0.83, this was working fine

Web example: http://www.laguardiadejaen.com/web/

[affacat]

does this still work for latest versions (2.5, 9.0.1)?

[so1o]

here is my latest theme

http://www.adityanaik.com/forums/

the site has a working integration of wp 2.5 and bb 0.9

[rbarcelo]

I test this plugin in version 0.9.0.1 and 0.8.3 . I cant make work.

Definitely not working.

[rich! @ etiviti]

I get the same error as reported in firebug:

favoritesToggle[1 === isFav ? “removeClass” : “addClass”] is not a function

<urlhere>/bb-includes/js/topic-js.php?ver=20080401

Line 55

[Mattias Tengblad]

I intend to make some Swedish translations for bbpress, but I can’t find any updated .pot files for 0.9.0.1. Latest .pot file in SVN seams to be 0.8.3.1.

Hello,

‘Admin Add Users’ plugin (I’m using latest 1.2) doesn’t work. When you are in the administrator window and edit a profile created using the plugin, it takes you to your keymaster account.

The problem is the new version of bbpress now populates ‘nicename’ field whereas the old one doesn’t, and so this plugin doesn’t either. Adding a ‘nicename’ fixes the problem.

However, while you can login using the new user I don’t understand how because it uses md5 for the password, and I thought 0.9 now uses a different encryption system?

I imagine there are some other serious problems that you should really disable this plugin until it is fixed.

One is that it uses direct sql to add the user, which may not be compatible with 0.9…

Hope this helps.

Doesnt latest bbpress require wp 2.5 ?

[n1x0n]

I’ve installed the 0.9.1 last night. Integration with WP went smoothly and fast.

The problem popped up when i’ve logged on into bbpress with my WP user:pass. It did log me in, but later on attempt to log back into WP said “ERROR: Incorrect password.”

I’ve reset the WP password, logged in, logged out. Logged into bbpress. Than tried to log in to WP with same password and again “ERROR: Incorrect password.” popped up. So it appears that every time i log into bbpress it messes up the WP password.

If i change WP password by resetting it, it works. If i edit my user password in WP – bbpress will accept it.

But if i log into bbpress – WP starts giving me the “incorrect password” message. So bbpress accepts all changes that WP is making to the password, but WP stops accepting the password even after simple login to bbpress with it.

I use WP 2.3.2, latest BBpress, shared databases, shared cookies. UTF8 on both installations. I use “admin” as a login name.

[purplecow]

I installed latest version of bbpress on mybrandinc.com and enabled the URL re-write from the admin settings page.

But i am getting 404 errors when i click on links from forum.

My host has enabled mod-Rewrite.

Any help?

Thanks
