Bug? Profile pages show info for whoever is logged in

Published on August 8th, 2009 by

I just installed a new bbPress 1.0.2 install on a web site, and successfully integrated it into an existing WordPress site.

I found a bug: whenever going to someone’s profile page (/forum/profile/1), it’s showing the login name, nickname, and ‘member since’ date for whoever happens to be logged in at the time. It should be showing the info for the person whose page I’m visiting.

The User Activity section shows activity for the correct person (and the navigation menu is also correct), but those other bits are wrong.

This is also messing my ability up to edit someone’s profile when logged in as the admin: it’s showing my own admin account’s info instead of theirs, and even is showing their role as Key Master.

If nobody is logged in, then the page works correctly.

Anyone have any ideas? Is this just me?

bbP/WP integration problem: can't access Admin control panel after WP login

Published on August 8th, 2009 by behe101

I’ve been tearing my hair out for about a week over this. I’ve gone through the WP/bbPress integration process, but if I use the WordPress login form to get into the site, I can’t access the bbPress Admin control panel. It just bounces me back to the forum’s front page. It DOES work if I use bbPress’ login, but I really don’t want to do that every time I want to administrate the site. In fact, I don’t want to use the bbPress login screen at all.

Latest Discussions

Hello,

i’m a new user of BBpress, & i wish to thanks you for the fabolous work done behind. This tool is really powerfull & helpfull for me.

it should be great if we will be able to setup individually the “latest discussion” numbers of message to display, instead of changing the numbers of message par page. ( Separate the both option. )

& also to have the possibility to not show the pages numbers for those “latest discussion”.

Best regards

Gregory Janssens

dotNetBB import

Wondering if anyone has done a conversion of dotnetbb to bbpress?

Is there a good resource anywhere for bbpress import tools? I couldn’t find one.

Plugin Browser fixed to be compatible with bbPress 1.0

Published on August 8th, 2009 by Gautam

I just made the Plugin Browser for bbPress By Sam Bauers compatible with bbPress 1.0 & later :-)

It now correctly recognizes the current version of the plugin stored on your forums, also tells you to upgrade if necessary, and can uninstall plugins already installed or install which are not installed.

I have also done the following changes:

  • The directory folder of a plugin need not have pb– in its name, nor have a pb–revision.php
  • GET methods changed to POST.

Notes:

  • Plugins installed by the previous version of this plugin, cannot be upgraded or uninstalled. You can, however remove pb– from their name via ftp and then upgrade or uninstall.
  • It does not recognize the plugins bundled with bbPress like Akismet, Bozo, etc. (This functionality wasn’t there before too).

You can download it from here: http://gaut.am/uploads/plugin-browser-for-bbpress.zip

If you liked it, then you can donate here – http://gaut.am/donate/

Thanks :)

WP or BB login?

Published on August 7th, 2009 by DennisH

Using deep integration would it be better to have users login from WP or BB?

If a user changes their password in bb would that change be reflected in wp (or vice versa)?

Custom text for password mail message

Published on August 7th, 2009 by Olaf Lederer

Hi,

I don’t like the standard message send after a new user has registered to my bbpress forum. So I thought about to write an plugin that will send my custom text instead.

This is what I have:

function bb_send_pass_cust($user, $pass) {
$message = __("Your username is: %1$s nYour password is: %2$s nYou can now log in: %3$s nMyCustom text!");

return bb_mail(
bb_get_user_email( $user->ID ),
bb_get_option('name') . ': ' . __('Password'),
sprintf($message, $user->user_login, $pass, bb_get_uri(null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT))
);

}

remove_action('bb_new_user', 'bb_send_pass');
add_action('bb_new_user', 'bb_send_pass_cust');

this code has many issues:

– it doesn’t remove the action

– the password is nu available in the custom function

In the past my functions/plugins never had function arguments, how to use them?

Thanks for your help!

Integrating bbPress into an existing site

Published on August 7th, 2009 by

*note – I’m not trying to integrate bbPress into a WordPress page but rather a static page. I already have the login integration between bb and wp working.

I’ve been able to “embed” my WordPress posts into a static web page with the help of an online tutorial using PHP includes. Basically, on the page that you want to have WordPress embedded in, you paste:

<?php require(‘../../../blog/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>

into the very top of the page above the DTD, and then paste The Loop wherever you want your posts to appear.

What I’d like to do is the exact same thing except with bbPress. I’ve tried applying the same basic principle as described as above, but am pretty much stuck and can’t get anything except errors to appear.

Here’s what my code looks like at this point. I’ve used the header file from the kakumei templates folder as that’s the only header file I can find. At the very top above the DTD;

<?php require(‘../../../forums/bb-templates/kakumei/header.php’); ?>

Now I’ve searched high and low for anything talking about “The Loop” (or it’s equivalent) in bbPress but have found zip. The closest things I have seen have been inside the bbPress/index.php and forum.php files, which I pasted and tested each separately into the area that I wanted to have the forums appear, but with no positive results.

If anyone knows how to do this properly I will be grateful.

Thank you

Adam Lawton

How does bbPress not easily integrate with WordPress???

Published on August 7th, 2009 by Jim R

I have followed the instruction for database/user integration, and it doesn’t work as it should. It recognizes the users’ information, but it doesn’t recognize if they logged in to the other. So I can log into my WordPress but still be logged out in bbPress. The reverse is true too.

Simple Press managed to get it right, but the interface is a bit bloated. I’m using WordPress 2.8.2.

bbPress should integrate nicely into whatever template the blogger is using. It should be that simple. Am I missing something???

I like how clean bbPress is, but it can’t be that tough to integrate, as I assume it’s produced in part by the same group.
