Yeah i think that will work. I only have that problem when i update wp akismet to the latest version. If i using the old version that dont have widget, i can use it without having any problem.

1) Usualli a simple traceroute can suggest you where the server is, anywai you can try to change the $bb->gmt_offset variable testing various value till you get the right time in the forum.

2) I think this is a currently problem with tag management, about managing UTF8 charset…

3) RSS stay for Really Simple Syndication a methond to stay up to date reading new content from a site using feed aggregator online or as local program, do a little search on Google and you will learn all about it… veri usefull to follow news from lot osf sites without the need to opens single site every day to check f there is something new… try RSS and you will never be able to live without it

Ok, so I tested all the combinations of the last two versions of WP and BBP… so its obviously something with my configuration.

But I found that if I install and activate the incriminated plug-ins in WordPress before trying to run the install script for BBpress, it returns the following error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_text' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_rss' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'sidebars_widgets' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'sidebars_widgets' LIMIT 1

Now we’re getting somewhere! Anyone? A hint?

[gsnixon]

Ok, so I downgraded the test install to 0.7.2, with the same result…

Hi everyone, I’ve just had one hell of a night trying to figure out this bbP/wP integration stuff. Eventually, I thought I’d do a clean test install and work from there to see if I could isolate the issue, so I installed:

BBpress 0.7.3

WordPress 2.0.5

on

Apache 2.0.59

mySQL 5.0.19

PHP 4.4.4

via MAMP on Mac OS 10.4.8

with WP in root and BBpress as subdirectory “discussions”.

I then configured wp-config.php and config.php like so:

<?php

define('DB_NAME', 'database');

define('DB_USER', 'root');

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'root');

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost:8889');

$table_prefix = 'wp_';

define ('WPLANG', '');

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');

require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');

?>

and

<?php

require_once(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-config.php');

define('BBDB_NAME', 'database');

define('BBDB_USER', 'root');

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'root');

define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost:8889');

$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_';

$bb->domain = 'http://192.168.0.149:8888';

$bb->path = '/discussions/';

$bb->name = 'the Forum';

$bb->admin_email = 'email@email.com';

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

$bb->page_topics = 30;

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

$bb->gmt_offset = -8;

define('BBLANG', '');

$bb->akismet_key = '***********';

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://192.168.0.149:8888';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://192.168.0.149:8888';

define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );

require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );

?>

(the 8888/9 ports are MAMP defaults; 192.168.0.149 is the LAN IP of the computer I’m running this on)

Then I ran the install scripts, and lo and behold, everything seemed to be working great. Then I began to add plugins one by one, and, to make a long story short, found that:

Whenever the Sidebar Widgets plugin was activated along with a separate widget (including those included with it, del.icio.us and google, as well as akismet, which has a widget built-in), trying to load a BBpress page would yield a blank page. However, if Sidebar Widgets was activated but no widget plugins were, it would work fine–I could even use the integrated widgets (RSS, categories, calendar, etc) on the blog. Likewise, if Sidebar Widgets is deactivated, but all the widgets are activated, it still works fine.

Also: the Front Page Topics plug-in for bbPress, regardless of any other plugins in wP or bbP, yields a similar blank page on posting a new reply, starting a new topic, making a new forum, or logging out. If I go back and refresh, the topic/reply/forum HAS been created… but the logout attempt is UNsuccessful. Like I said, I tried this with no bb or wp plugins, as well as a variety of them, and its always the same result.

Ok, its 4:15 in the morning, I have class at 8 and I’m going to go pass out, but hopefully this is enough information for someone to tell me what gives…

Thanks for reading/any help.

I also have a sticky user’s guide, and added this wording:

To start a new thread or topic, click on the Start New Topic Here link in the “Latest Discussions” section.

Advantage to Starting a New Topic:

You Topic Heading will show up in Latest Discussions!

Disadvantage to Replying to an Existing Topic:

If your reply has no relevance to an existing topic, it will not feature prominence in “Latest Discussions”. But please feel free to reply to an existing topic , if it is relevant to the existing topic.

[ear1grey]

Thud, thud, thud <- that’s my head on the wall

It’s happened again! Another forum user has added their problem onto a thread which is tackling a different issue entirely.

Joe Public just doesn’t seem to dig that it’s OK to start a new topic.

Having looked a bit at the DB structure I think splitting a thread should be fairly easy, any thoughts or hints, please shout – I’m going to look at a plugin when I have time, but time is short currently.

If someone else has some spare cycles I’ll willingly test it, even if it’s really rough

[Atsutane]

Well u can try this. Donno if it gonna work or not .. right now 12:54am so i dont have the time to test it Try at ur own risk. Got problem dont blame me . Well if this was wrong feel free to fix it.

function get_post_author_avatar() {

global $bbdb;

$id = get_post_author_id();

$user = bb_get_user( $id );

$usermail = $user->user_email;

$default = “http://www.somewhere.com/homestar.jpg&#8221;; // Put your default avatar link

$size = 40;

$grav_url = “http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=&#8221;.md5($email).”&default=”.urlencode($default).”&size=”.$size;

echo “<img src=”$grav_url” alt=”Gravatar” />”;

}

[firstboyborninspace]

i think it would be nice if once logged in, above latest discussions it listed your recent favorites above “views”

[mozey]

oh yeahh, i forgot to mention, i’m not even going to bother with the BB user table for anything!. I can get it to the point where i log in using one portals for both platforms, but i have’nt tested it beyond that.

[andyro]

OK, it totally works now. Thank-you. I didn’t realize I had to CREATE a .htaccess file under my ‘/www’ folder, I somehow assumed it would already be there in the installation package, and I only needed to add the MultiViews line to allow pretty permalinks – perhaps this could be clarified in the installation instructions? I am a complete ignoramus regarding all of this stuff, so the fact that I even got it working is a testament to its simplicity. The creation of the .htaccess file had me hung for several hours though. Otherwise, great work, I am looking forward to trying this out now!

[cvanp]

I have two WordPress blogs (2.0.5) sharing a user database and attempted to get bbPress to share that user db as well. It installed successfully, but I can’t log in either!

I know it’s pulling the info though from my User Database, because the username in the sample post is linked to the same site I’ve set in WordPress. I checked my config.php values, and I know the syntax is correct based on the comments in config.php and the comments above, so I’m a bit confused.

I should note that I’m attempting this on a local test server, so all my config.php values are “localhost” values (such as $bb->domain = 'http://localhost';), I don’t know if this would throw things off at all.

In which line of style.css describ those color????

f.ex: sticky color is on the line 161 of style.css

1) the color of your forums name? (the one on the right-top corner)

2) the background color of forums ?

3) the title of table ?(the gray one on the top: Topic — Add New » Posts Last Poster Freshness …)

4) the original topic color ? (there 2 colors i think)

5) those words color? (Hot tags, Latest Discussions, Forums, View..)

6) the white line under under those title: Hot tags, lastest discussions…?

7) all link words ?( add new, no-reply, untag… the original color is green)

all link words ?(when mose hover)

background color of the bottom section of forums ?(there is : xxxxxxx is proudly powered by bbPress)

---

9) Now, when u add a new topic, theres a table which ask u the subjet, the content, the tag and the ection. i want to change the background color of this table, which line it is?

10)Now, when u look at a topic, theres the original post and reply. the background of each one is on which line?

---

11)last thing..: i want to also change those word (the word, not the color) : ‘Enter a few words(call tag)separeted by spaces to help someone find your topic’ and ‘ pick a section’

Thank you a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will bbpress have an option for members to have signatures, where they can add text or links?

I’m looking at starting a new forum, having used SMF & PHPBB forums in the past, but i really like wordpress so have installed a ‘test’ site using bbpress, and am really impressed, but its an important feature that i’m need to be installed.

[hasund]

They are placed underneath the other users, and aren’t listed under any spesific roles. If I enter their user pages, “administrator” is what’s chosen in the drop-down menu, presumably bacause the drop down by its nature demands it to display something and “administrator” is first in the list, not because their role is really set to administrator.

Now that gave me an idea of what I think is causing this. As mailing out passwords doesn’t work from this test system, I’ve had to manually edit the user settings in WP (using my admin account of course) in order to give them a new password. What might be causing this is that when I access their user page in order to set a password, the user is given admin status because sneakily enough, “Administrator” is what is selected in the drop down when I update.

For some reason my “Latest Discussions” went from 1’s to -1’s instead of 0’s.

[peiqinglong]

So I just installed the latest version of bbpress (0.72) and followed these steps: http://www.devlounge.net/articles/the-ultimate-bbpress-guide and when I got to http://www.abunchofcars.com/forum/, I get: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /home/abunchof/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php on line 93

I tripled checked my config.php file and all appears fine…not sure what I’m doing wrong?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

That snhould be all you need to do (it shouldn’t matter who’s what). But I haven’t actually tested it.

Please let me know how it goes.

[abc12345]

I would like to try bbPress, but cannot get past the “Cannot select DB.” error message. What am I doing wrong? Here is what I have done…

1. Downloaded and am successfully running MySQL 5.0.26 server on Mac OS X 10.4.8.

2. Added a database called “testbb” to the mysql server (this is working because I can access this database through the mysql commandline in Terminal and in CocoaMySQL).

3. Turned on php (version 4.4.1) in the httpd.conf file.

4. Turned on the apache webserver running on my computer.

5. Downloaded the bbPress folder and put it in my webserver directory.

6. Changed the config-sample.php file to config.php.

7. Modified the config.php file. I changed the database name to testbb, changed the username to root, added the appropriate password, and changed the URL domain to “http://localhost/~myusername&#8221; and the URL path to “/bbpress/” because I did not change the folder’s name. It is still “bbpress”.

When I try to access the install.php file, I type in “http://localhost/~myusername/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php&#8221; into my browser. This successfully brings up the following error message: “Cannot select DB.”

What am I doing wrong? Why can’t it access the database, when I can access it through the commandline with the same username and password?

[mistainu]

first, i setup my bbPress, tested it… worked great! now i went to the config.php and changed the settings to point to my wordpress. my wordpress has in the root directory and mt bbpress was i a folder root/forums/ … for the configuration, i’m sure i did everything right. changed the wordpress prefix from false to wp_ then added in the urls of my wordpress as required. i then removed the // on the next line as the instructions said.

now i loaded the directory with bbpress… i expected to go thru the whole installation thing again but it failed. someone please help?

[p3t3r]

@ear1grey: Maybe I´ve got the plugin you want to have – some time ago I created a plugin like that for a bbpress+wordpress site which is no more online – I´ll search it on my HD and test it, and if it still works I´ll put it up for download…

[planetphillip]

Thank you.

So how easy would it be to pull the latest 10 threads onto my wordpress sidebar?

[planetphillip]

Thanks, you were right on the money!

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Make sure there is no whitespace (spaces, extra lines, tabs, etc.) before the <?php in your plugin nor after the ?>
