I had problems too. The table was not created. I had to do it manualy. I have all of the latest updates for both WP and bbPress so I dont know what went wrong. To fix the data base issue go to you myphp admin (data base) and give the following command.

CREATE TABLE bb_privatemessages (

pm_id BIGINT( 20 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,

id_sender INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,

id_receiver INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,

seen INT( 2 ) NOT NULL ,

pmtitle VARCHAR( 64 ) NOT NULL ,

message VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,

created_on DATETIME NOT NULL ,

PRIMARY KEY ( pm_id )

) TYPE = MYISAM ;

This solved my problems for now.

In testing, the position of the class=”login” seems to be the culprit. If it is position=relative, then the form moves to the very top and is clickable. But if it is changed to position=absolute, then it moves into its place in correctly, but is no longer clickable.

Can’t figure this out yet.

If you pre-encrypt the password and insert that value, you can then log in with your new password (in this case “test”).

Hello chrishajer

1) This topic is extremely relevant to the topic heading. It takes up more of my time if I have to view a bunch of different topics all on the same issue. When I am looking for a solution to a problem, I prefer to see one topic with different possibilities to the problem. This originating topic only started one month ago.

2) I hope it is a css problem. I can’t seem to find the double entry in the style sheet on the login form. Perhaps it is a z-index problem. I am still testing.

Just having issues with FTP right now…I will test it when I get that working again! Besides, I want to try out the latest TRAC version……..

Being the idiot that I can be sometimes, I didn’t test all the formats zeug and only tried YouTube out of the gun……if I would have tested out the other formats I would have known they worked already as I tried using the standalone player about 3 months ago…..*sigh*

I will be testing this one out for sure today!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

I will test out and do my duty! Let me know the address and I can help test!

Mirce & Ardentfrost,

Thanks for the suggestions. I dug a little deeper, and got over my hesitancy, and as it turns out I have created my first, fully functioning plugin! I think this is something that will come in handy to many users, (hopefully), so I will release more details about it once I am sure it’s working properly. I am trying to add one more feature, so once I’m closer to success or failure, I’ll have a first release. Thanks again for your feedback, and I hope you guys are around come testing time!

Honestly all I did to learn was download existing plugins (there weren’t many when I started writing them, so you’re at an advantage there) and check out how certain things were performed… I also used windows search to look through the files of bbpress to see how things were done.

Once you see how it is done currently (or how similar functions work), then you can start writing your own subroutines to either intercept, replace, or just create new functions that can be installed into the themes.

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about dealing with WP. I never wrote anything for WP, and the plugins of mine that play nice with WP only do so because people like Trent and spencer helped me test them.

But if you ask specific questions, there are a number of us here who can help you if we know what you’re asking

[Atsutane]

Yeah. Request already waiting for approval.

I fixed it! o/

Remember how the cookies “looked” identical?

Well they weren’t.

The cookies created by bbpress added the hash to the end of the cookie name.

Both Safari and Camino didn’t reveal this, but Flock did. I was using these other browsers as a testing platform because I needed to clear cookies in between each test.

I added:

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

To my bbpress config to solve the problem. (which I found on one of the links you sent me)

I actually like the idea of the cookie name including the hash. Isn’t this more secure? Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t this make it near impossible for another site to read that cookie?

Thanks for your help Trent!

[Trent Adams]

That would be great if you could do that Atsutane as it allows you to have the ‘working’ code up and the ‘work in progress’ code as well! Just a thought!

Trent

[chrishajer]

maker, you are correct (I believe) that there is no plugin to upload images although there are plugins to allow images in posts.

Allow images

WordPress user integration

Latest bbPress posts in WordPress

Latest WP post in bbPress

Have fun.

[fel64]

Same thing again, it’s great. Why don’t you make an entry in the plugins DB for it? https://bbpress.org/plugins/add/

[maker]

so there is no image uploading inherent in bbpress? But there are image plugins?

What can be shared between WP and BB? logins? Can wordpress show latest BB posts?

[Atsutane]

Version 0.5 (2007-03-04):

• Fix display name for bbpress that not integrated with wordpress.
• Add option to set if your wordpress is integrated with bbpress or not.
• Add use Bbpress permalink option

Ok… Let me start off by saying I’m not your “average” user seeking help. I’ve spent the last 2-3 hours combing this forum and trying almost every combination of cookie configurations and tweaking.

My site is setup like this:

domain.com/blog

domain.com/forum

This is what I have thus far:

In my bbpress config.php

$bb->cookiedomain = '.domain.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

In my wpmu wp-settings.php around line 245

if ( !defined('COOKIEPATH') )

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

if ( !defined('SITECOOKIEPATH') )

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

//define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.' . $current_site->domain);

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.com');

Of course I replaced “domain.com” with my actual domain.

The result is I get a total of 4 cookies when I login into both sites.

Both sets are identical except expiration. (I even edited the expiration date with no avail, apparently bbpress is a full year and day off)

the cookie properties look like this:

website			name			path		secure		expires			value

bbpress

.domain.com		wordpresspass		/		no		Mar 03, 2008		long_hash

.domain.com		wordpressuser		/		no		Mar 03, 2008		test



wpmu

.domain.com		wordpresspass		/		no		Mar 04, 2007		long_hash (same as the other)

.domain.com		wordpressuser		/		no		Mar 04, 2007		test

The only difference is the expiration date. As you can see bbpress has an issue with the date.

Perhaps I need sleep, or I don’t understand how the cookies are supposed to work. But I’m beat.. I can’t battle it anymore tonight.

I’m going to go get some sleep. Perhaps I’ll be able to figure it out from a fresh approach.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steven

Looks like there is some work going on to create “forum hierarchies” in the core. I think this will allow nesting of forums inside other forums. This has made some major changes to the files that were patched, so the patch will not work on the latest revisions. This patch solution will no doubt be deprecated by the changes being made now in core. I think that there was some resistance to adding another table to the database to perform this function, also the new solution will probably be more flexible, allowing for sub-sub-categories, sub-sub-sub-categories, etc.

So we may have a category-like solution by 1.0 – Personally I’ll be happy not to have to update the patch file anymore. I picked bbPress for my work, because it had modern features and a release-often ethos. The category patch filled a hole in functionality for me and a few others, it was a relatively quick hack – fairly brain-dead coding. So I won’t be too sad to see it usurped. Hopefully, if anything, this patch helped make inclusion of this functionality a priority, and perhaps helped provide a UI implementation to use as an example (good, bad or ugly).

I won’t be updating the patch anymore, at least until I am sure the new hierarchical forum features cover that functionality.

While this theme is a long way from being ready for public release, I thought I’d solicit comments. I’m having some trouble with character encoding (as mentioned here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/823?replies=5 ).

The site is currently on a live testing server and I don’t want it to get indexed. Hopefully, the nofollow will work. Anyway, take a look and let me know your thoughts!

I’m definately open to feedback.

Cheers!

Hi,

I installed BBpress today as well as someone else, on the same server though (in case that’s the problem). This person couldn’t make the admin password to work, although mine worked like a charm.

I tried to reset the password and was prompted with the message saying

An email has been sent to the address we have on file for you…

But neither I or the other person (who complained it wasn’t working at first) did receive the mail.

I wonder if this wouldn’t be a bug of the latest 0.8.1 version ?

Anyone has a fix ?

[fel64]

Brilliant – works straight away again and has all the options I wanted. Thanks.

[Atsutane]

Recent Change: (2007-03-04)

• Bbpress Latest Discussion Option Page.
• Ability to set Bbpress url
• Ability to use different database

I am having the same problem. Will this patch solve it or the changes are already included in the latest version?

Mircea.

My experience on the register page is that is is the notification or the timezone plugins. It will be a plugin though for sure. Test out which one and then we can fix that for you.
