G’day

Can some one give me a sample of ( Add cookie integration settings ) when starting a fresh install

TT

I have two problems with my BBPress installation (v1.0.2):

> When a user tries to change their password, the change does not take place and the original password remains

> When I try to change a user’s role (e.g. from member to moderator) the change does not take place and the user remains a member

It seems to me both these problems occur in profile.php, so I wonder if they share the same cause?

I’ve had a look through the forum and not been able to find any insight into the problem. Can anyone please help me?

I’m hoping someone can help me with integration of my wp 2.8 and bbpress 1.1. So far I have:

1) Set everything correctly in bbpress admin for integration

2) Created a “secret key” in wp-config, and copied it to the bbpress config file

3) Installed the bbPress Integration plugin in wordpress

4) Defined the cookie path in wp and bbpress

5) set the AUTH_KEY in wp, and copied that to bbpress

6) cleared cookies and cache numerous times

and still, logging into one does not log me in to another. I see some mention of a SALT key in these forums, is that what I need?

Any help would be appreciated.

My BBPress forum has gotten quite popular. It’s in constant use every day, and I have gotten alot of young kids using it. Kids as young as eight years old.

Sometimes these kids post just to post, and alot of messages consists only of a few letters. I want to put a stop to this. Is there some way I can demand that a post should atleast contain 30 letters, or atleast ten words?

Please help me out.

Just put out a new theme based on WordPress for one of our ‘pro’ WP themes.

Would love the feedback of the BBP community.

Oh and i just wanted to add on this ck thing. People dont’t donate things that easily, and many of us are searching for something for nothing, but you were obviously disheartened. I have run a mac support site in different form for years, using different forums and its been hacked (lost thousands of posts) derided and the donation button clicked once or twice, there are bigger, slicker better sites, but I like to think people still use my site because I don’t look down my nose at anyone and keep it simple.

I would ask you from the heart, put your site back up and don’t give up…hey I don’t even know you but a little research tells me you have put alot in. You may think its time to cut your losses, on the other hand it might also be time to promote a clean simple forum.

AND beleive me I dont see a lot of promotion going on outside of the circle. If everyone who uses bbpress had a blog and did an article “the best forum software” a little blurb and put bbpress at the top of a a list of 5 lets say bbpress vb, smf, phpbb and a.n.other board….instant promotion. People are setting up forums all the time but dont know which software to use. I found bbpress by accident and am using smf at present but transferring data as we speak….main problem right now is where are the themes?

Why is this starting to remind me of XOOPS cms

There is much discussion on these boards on where bbpress is going, reminds me a bit of simailar stuff at XOOPS cms. However one sure sign on these matters is the lack of available themes. Where is a themes repository? Because thats what is needed. Did I miss something?

‘Extend’ surely doesn’t just mean plugins it means the GUI, the way things look, but all I can find is plugins. Or maybe someone can point it out.

Dear All,

I’m making a first-time installation of bbPress-1.0.2.zip on localhost, following the instructions at https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/

I unzipped to wwwrootbbpress, browsed to the installation script “Welcome to the bbPress installer”, created the MySQL database, and for simplicity, skipped WordPress integration.

However, at the final step “Site settings”, when I press the “Save site settings” & “Complete the installation” buttons, I receive the following error…

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 98304 bytes) in F:wwwrootbbpressbb-includesbackpressclass.bp-sql-schema-parser.php on line 170

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

My server is WAMP5 on WinXP; it already serves up a WordPress blog (I’m in “learn about blogs & fora mode”).

Many thanks in advance :>)

Hello!

I’m having trouble with the bbPress installation, and haven’t been able to get the forum up and running.

I’ve got WordPress 2.8.6 installed on a test site (it’s up and running fine), and I wanted to also have a forum on the same site. I want to try bbPress because of the possibility of integration between WP and bbPress. It would be nice if users could log in once, and be able to post comments on the blog portion of the site or post messages in the forum side of the site, and not have to manage two separate logins.

I downloaded bbPress 1.0.2, uploaded it to my web server, ran the bbPress installer, and entered the info requested, including the MySQL settings for database name, database username, database password,

MySQL hostname, and clicked “Continue” (or something to that effect). The message I got back was that it had a problem opening the database. At this point, I noticed there was a checkbox or something like that on the installer page where I could enter additional details, so I clicked on that, and it asked for ‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, and ‘NONCE_KEY’.

I remember generating these keys the last time I upgraded WordPress, so I had to download the wp-config.php file from my server and poke through it for these strings, but I found them, so I entered them into the bbPress installer page.

In addition to those key strings, the bbPress installer page was also asking for “salts” for each of those keys. I had no idea what the “salts” might be, but when I clicked on the help button next to the entry field, it said that if you didn’t have this it would check with the server during installation.

So I left the “salt” fields blank, and clicked “Continue.”

An installation log was generated, and I saved it as a text file. I won’t put the whole thing in this message, but the installation process modified the database tables without problems. In Step 2 of the process (WordPress integration), it reported “WordPress cookie keys set” and went on to “Fetching missing WordPress cookie salts.” It said that the WordPress “auth” cookie salt was successfully set, but the next one was where the trouble may have begun, as it reported WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt NOT set. The WordPress “logged in” cookie salt was set OK.

Finally, in Step 3, it listed the site settings for me. But one of the lines read “Forum could not be created!”

Following that line were two lines reporting that directories were established for my plugins and themes. I used my FTP program to check my server, and those two directories were indeed created.

And, of course, it summed things up by saying “some errors encountered during installation!”

But at the same time, there was a message that I should go to http://www.mydomain.com/bbpress, and that the forum should launch.

I went to that page, but every time I do, I get redirected to:

http://www.mydomain.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

Where the message says:

Oh dear!

bbPress is already installed.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

Well, no, I don’t want to run the upgrade script, since I’m trying to do a first-time install.

So, I don’t know where to proceed from here.

One question in my mind is if the installer script was able to find and set the salts for three of the keys OK, why couldn’t it set the “secure auth” cookie salt?

Second question is why do I get a page telling me bbPress is already installed, when the installation script says the forum could not be created?

Any guidance anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I think I have these two integrated and working but seems to be a problem with the bbpress keymaster having access to the wp-admin area. The only solution I have so far is to have 2 admins…

one for WP ( a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;} )

&

one for BB ( a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;} )

I have set the role in the bbpress-admin for wp-admins to be keymasters but it doesn’t seem to work…

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
