Hey I have WordPress 2.8-beta1 and bbPress 1.0-rc-1. I downloaded and installed sams plugin. However — I still need to sign in new when going from the forum to the blog. I can sign in fine in each — but it doesnt carry the cookie info over. And I did everyhting in the video. Any new tips?
Should I roll back to a previous version? If there are versions of WordPress, BBPress and Plugin that do work together — please share what versions that play nicely together.
I love the plugins folks have created, and would like to try creating a simple one of my own. Thing is, I have no idea what functions calls are available in bbPress 0.9.0.5, and can’t find any documentation. Is there a list of function names and parameters somewhere, or do I have to trawl through a thousand files and learn the hard way..?
As an aside, I’ve noticed a couple of comments regarding using bbPress stand-alone. I do for my clients, and myself. Never installed WordPress, and don’t need it. In their working world, WordPress is little different to static web pages. bbPress, on the other hand, invites comments and discussion, which is what they need.
One of the nice things about bbPress 1.0 is that it supports display names. This seems pretty important – you don’t want the names to look different in different parts of the site (I have bbPress integrated with BuddyPress 1.0). I guess one could limit the WPMU/BP side of things to usernames, but that seems like a step backwards.
On the other hand, bbPress 0.9.0.x is very stable and reportedly quite a bit more efficient, so I’d like to stick with it until 1.0 gets there (we have a few thousand users).
Have you found a way to do display names using 0.9.0.x? I see mention of a plugin, but I can’t find it in the extend section.
Sometimes I end up digging new users out of the spam queue, who have done nothing more than post half a dozen links to one of several topic-related websites. Akismet gets them, even though I know the domain they are linking to is entirely legitimate in the context of the forum. This is a specific problem for new users, so creating a filter based on user role or posting history does not solve the problem.
I’ve started looking at whitelisting domains within links: A link to a whitelisted domain will always be considered legitimate, regardless of the number of links, or proportion of the post containing links.
The BBPress plugin does not support this. Probably because the Akismet API doesn’t appear to support it: One submits the whole post content as comment_content, and waits for a result. No white-listing options I could see.
The crudest possible solution is to hack an escape clause into bb_ksd_check_post(), which simply says “if post content contains a whitelisted domain reference, skip Akismet”. Works right up until the point at which the spammer sees the pattern…
My next idea was to extract all the whitelisted links from the content, send the rest to Akismet, and then put the links back into whatever is sent back. Somehow. Simplest method was probably converting whitelisted anchors into comments, but I’m not sure that Akismet will step over comments. Does it?
Or I could just disable Akismet and find another solution.
So, I thought I’d ask here, if anyone has a clever way to whitelist certain domains?
I have searched (and searched) to no avail for a solution to this seemingly trivial issue. I may be missing something simple.
What I want to do is log out from an integrated bbPress (RC1) and WPMU (2.7.1 with BP 1.0) installation from within bbPress. The BuddyPress.org forum appears to do exactly this.
What is stopping me is that I can’t generate the WPMU nonce value in order to assemble the logout URL.
(bb_create_nonce() generates a different value, as one would expect)
So I have two questions:
1. Is there any way to do this *without* deep integration?
2. If not, how do I achieve this *with* deep integration?
Any help much appreciated. I’m tearing my hair out on this one.

Last night I posted here for the first time with my BuddyPress.org username. I can see the post if I am logged in, but not if I’m logged out. It think this is consistent with being assigned the bozo bit in bbPress.
Also, my profile said that the post in question was a reply, where I had clearly started the topic. It said I had started no topics.
On the BuddyPress side, my posts appear both when I am logged in and when I’m not, so I don’t seem to be a bozo on that side.
Am I really a bozo?
i know the freshness will display “-1 years” if your UTC offset is incorrect. in my case, it IS correct and i’ve verified that the time on our mysql server is correct. this started happening randomly about two months ago. when it happens it will happen for all posts made within a certain time range then will go away after 15-30 seconds or so. it doesn’t happen with every new post, we seem to go through spells of it from time to time. i’ve read in other posts that there are other reasons this can happen, can anyone explain?
thanks.

I completed Step 2 (WordPress integration) successfully. On step 3, I hit Complete Installation and I receive a blank screen. So I change permission on bbpress directory to 777. Now I am back on Step 1. Step 2 with the same values as I gave earlier now fails. So I skip step 2. Fill up step 3 and hit Complete Installation and I receive a blank screen again.
hi, i’ve a deep-integration, wpmu 2.7.1 + bp 1.0 +bbpress latest trunk i’ve created a theme and integrated it in bbpress, i’ve added wp_head() and wp_footer() to show the buddybar (buddypress admin bar) but the buddybar doesn’t show… i’ve tested the same theme with bbpress 0.9.0.4 and the buddybar is shown without problem.
