Hello,

After installing the software successfully, all database tables were created ok but when I clicked on the link to login it repeatedly told me the forum software wasn’t installed. On checking I noticed two bizarre things:

1. Although the placeholder topic had been created and other tables populated, the forum table had no entries, it was empty, i.e. it had not created the first forum detailed in the installation to match the topic that was there. Creating a temporary entry with the id of the successfully created made the forum work, but then…

2. When I logged in as the user I created during the installation there was no admin option so I check the user meta table and it was down as ‘member’ and not ‘key master’.

I am using the latest bbPress (downloaded this morning), running php 5.2.3 and mysql 5.0.41. Both are near enough out of the box installations and working fully (the only change to mysql was to set password in legacy mode).

Please help as I can’t do anything!

btw, one other minor question completely unrelated. Why when I look at people’s code listed in forums or hyperlinks, is it chopping off the entry at the end of the line and not wrapping? I’m using firefox, haven’t checked against IE.

I don’t seem to see the page numbering for any template I try.

My test topic says at the top “7 posts +2 more”

should I not see a navigation with numbering for the pages ?

I have bbpress(0.8.2) integration with wordpress(2.2.1).

I did not have any forum management before I add a forum to my previous wordpress website. Number of users are increasing daily. So as I did not have any experience with management of a forum, I have some problems.

In the beginning I installed to standard version of bbpress. After one month of forum experience, I want to add moderation plugin. Because my users are not experienced forum users. I have a range from middle school students to company owners or retired workers.

Some of the users sends strange messages, which I dont want to see on my forum.

Some of them do not allow forum rules. And some of them dont know how to use a forum. Namely when they have a new question, they write “I know it is not related to the subject …”.

I think what I need it to make the all messages for new users, moderated. Or all messages are moderated. I dont know why but the moderation plugin do not work with latest version of bbpress. So I have to uninstall the plugin and make messages un-moderated.

I will also try “move it” plugin, for unrelated messages to subject of message.

But what is the best management style for such a community. I think bbpress.org do not need moderation of messages, because at least its community know how to use a forum.

Is it better, not to waste my time to manage the forum. Namely no moderation to messages or just live what ever people writes to the forum. As I said before this is my first forum, and I also dont want people to use msn-type language usage. Am I fascist ?

Cheers Trent.

I can certainly see why you’d want to keep this under wraps. If it fell into the wrong hands … ?!?!?! I like it.

[Trent Adams]

I am confused fel64! Email me and I can forward it to you. trent dot adams TA gmail TOD com

Could you send it to fel64 who isn’t at hotmail.com? Seem to be having trouble with my email. Thank you!

[fel64]

What we really need to know is what code you were running. Would be a strange one if it was the latest release; that sort of problem should affect everybody. I’d also be surprised if that was the latest, but if it was you should be prepared for that. Did you maybe modify that file yourself?

[Sam Bauers]

I suppose that’s OK.

[Rhys Wynne]

No worries Trent, glad you could test this!

I have gone about submitting it (forgot a readme file, it can wait until the morning ), but will include one tomorrow.

[Trent Adams]

Let us know either way! I can always test it with you if you want, just need the forum address if you are still having problems!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

I changed the title to be more ‘user friendly’ if you don’t mind! I will test it out for you as it seems like a great plugin! As well, don’t forget to add it to the plugin site!

[Trent Adams]

Pretty sure Sam will allow you mdawaffe as you are pretty trustworthy, so I sent it to the email address! (Hope that is alright Sam!)

Oops – forgot the addy (but I think you have it?)

Hi, I have recently written a plugin for bbpress to show the top posters within a forum. I’ve tested it a fair amount (as much as a man with a one person forum can), and I think it is all there. Feedback and comments will be well received.

…. you know, I wonder why I didn’t catch that either. lol.

Okay, well, after fixing that, it now forwards me to the admin interface like it should and lets me log in on the WordPress site.

That said, if logged in on the WordPress site, I am still not logged in on the forums- or at least, so it appears. It still asks me for login info.

From there, I tried logging in as admin using another browser, and saw that the test account was listed as online in the forum.

Confusion abounds.

It is still the case that if I log in on the forums, I’m logged in on the wordpress site.

[jolaedana]

No problem- I wonder why it is you didn’t get them? I’ll try making another test account to see what happens. EDIT: I tried out a test account and got my login info instantly- perhaps an email typo?

I cleared cookies and tried logging in via the wordpress side.

I only got one cookie logged, here’s all the info since I’m not sure what you’re looking for:

website: http://www.audreysargent.com

Name: PHPSESSID

Secure: no

[Sam Bauers]

Sent and sent. Enjoy.

Plugin is already up to 0.1.3 thanks mostly to Trent’s testing.

[joladana]

An update- that worked splendidly, EXCEPT:

Now when you create a new account and go back to login, after typing in username and password, the redirect to the admin control panel on wordpress doesn’t work- so you get stuck back on the login screen thinking it didn’t work.

If you’d like, you can create a test account to see what I mean.

Thoughts?

I’m game to try, let me have it oh hell ya
