I’m looking to start up a book exchange for students at the university I attend. I want it to be very basic. People post the book along with some additional information (edition, price, condition, etc.) The posts would need to be searchable (of course), and there would have to be a way of viewing each department separately (for instance, just browsing the French books for sale).

I’ve been playing with Noah’s classifieds, and while it would work, I feel like I can do better. bbPress is very trim, which I like, and I’ve used wordpress a lot, which should be helpful. How well suited is bbPress for something like this?

Database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘LIMIT 1’ at line 1]

SELECT * FROM bb_online WHERE user_id = LIMIT 1

Caller: bb_logout, do_action, call_user_func_array, online_logout

This is what my server shows when i try to logout..

I installed almost 12 plugins before that.So i dont know which one is causing problem?Any way to resolve this??

bb-admin/install.php:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_error_message() on a non-object in bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 606

I had installed it into /forums/bbpress. I got it up and running and pointed to that same address. I changed the address to /forums. I tried to move all of the files in bbpress into /forums, then I deleted the bbpress folder.

Any idea why it wouldn’t work.

I downloaded one but I don’t see how I can upload a new theme – like I can in WordPress.

I installed the zip into /public_html/forums and I extracted it. Then I tried to install the language files from that link but I don’t know how. When I clicked the link, it only opened to sub-directories; was I supposed to just download the HTML from the link and install it? Also, once I am done, aren’t I supposed to go to mydomain.com/forums to install it?

Thanks.

I’m trying to integrate bbpress into a custom WP theme I’ve made myself. I downloaded a theme that seemed perfect for me to start from, essentially a sandbox-esque theme. I got it from here (scroll down to 1col_fixed, there’s really no working direct link). I edited some files (header.php, footer.php, and front-page.php) and got EXACTLY the look I wanted. It looks fantastic with my site.

However as soon as I stray off the main page, it starts looking hairy. There are NO files to edit so that I can change the forum list view, the topic view, or any other page. The readme file says the following:

bbPress themes can be kept mean and lean. bbPress will pick up any missing mandatory

template files from the default template. Use this to keep your themes simple.

Yes, well, what if I need to customize THEM? Where do I get these files to edit them? Or would it, after all, be easier to start from a different theme?

Thanks… the sooner someone can get back to me on this, the better; I’m kind of on a tight schedule!

Hi,

I am looking for developers to integrate bbPress sessions (authentication) with my website session. Some of the requirements to give you idea:

1. Disable user registration and user login in bbpress, as users session from main website will be used in the forum.

2. Install plugin to show recent posts.

Pay rate is highly attractive. If your coding skills are impressive, you also get a chance to mod PHP website and rewrite PHP files to standards.

If you are really strong in bbPress code, have excellent PHP, MySql, Apache and Linux skills (while Ruby is good to have), Please reach out to me at “arun.seattle@yahoo.com”.

Thanks!

Arun.

First off, I would like to say hello this community. I have been a long time supporter of WordPress, and just recently started looking into bbPress. I am very impressed with the software so far, but would like to get a couple kinks ironed out.

I run my own gaming community at http://www.irefire.com. The main page is running off of the most recent version of WordPress. Our forums used to be PHPBB and a backup of them is at http://www.irefire.com/phpbb. Our new forums are running off of the most recent version of bbPress and are located at http://www.irefire.com/forums.

I converted our phpBB3 forums to bbPress (thanks to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release) but I must have done something wrong since no one’s password worked. It wasn’t a big deal since the community doesn’t have too many members, and they could just reset it. Then I integrated the userbase with my WordPress blog, and all of a sudden the only users I have are the ones that were in WordPress.

All of my users are gone except for those that were in WordPress. Even then, one of them (Giraffe) has been assigned as the author of posts he never wrote. Any help as to how to get my users back and on the forums (even if they have to reset their passwords) but keep it integrated with my WordPress (so they only need one account to post on the forums and comment on the blog) would be great. If I need to just do a clean install of bbPress and try pulling over the phpBB passwords correctly this time, help would be appreciated in how to do that.

Thank you so much.

Edit: I would also like to say that I have access to and limited knowledge of phpMyAdmin. I can still see all my old phpbb users in the _pbb database. All my the wordpress users are in my _wp database. If I could just throw the users from one database to the other, would that force them as registered users on both wordpress and bbpress?

Hi all,

I’ve just installed BBpress and it seems that everthing works “ok”. I’m still surprised that I have to download a plugin for so many basic things… There are minimum things that could come along with the forum such as “smileys, avatars etc”… these are standards in all forums.

Anyway, I’m asking for help because I have tried to register a test account and it seems that no mail is being sent eventhough I get the “congragulation page” saying i will receive one within minutes. I’m having my forum hosted by Yahoo web host.

Does anyone have a clue where to start troubleshooting?

Thanks a lot for your help
