bbPress.org

I’ve started to translate bbPress into Swedish, using existing translations from previous versions (pre 0.9.0.3) and found that it is more difficult than expected to find exact translations for some very commonly used forum keywords.

The fact that I’ve been on the web since Mosaic 0.9 did – surprisingly not – make this easier…I’ve searched the web but couldn’t find any generic definitions of these words that tell the actual difference between i.e a post, a discussion and a thread. And what also surprises me is that not any translators (or regular forum members) seem to have asked this before.

• topic
• post
• discussion
• (thread)

I’d appreciate if you (bbPress) forum gurus could clearly define what is actually meant with each keyword above. I included the keyword “thread”, although it isn’t used in bbPress.

I realize that a the keywords represent a certain generic forum hierarchy but the definitions would really help me out to finish off the work I’ve started.

I’m running WP 2.7.1 and bbPress Version 1.0-rc-1 on localhost. WP has been installed to /3dd/ and I installed bbPress to /3dd/bbpress/ today and have done all the proper steps for syncing in the bbPress admin.

I have added the following code to bb-config.php:

require(BB_PATH . '../wp-blog-header.php');<br />

define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);<br />

$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;

I can login to both WP and bbPress with my WP user account (yay!), but <b>the problem is that WP doesn’t know when I logged in to bbPress and vice versa</b> (i.e. when I am logged into WP, bbPress still shows the login form). In addition, <b>when I login to bbPress, WP logs me out; and when I login to WP, I am no longer logged in on bbPress</b>. I have cleared my cookies many times and tried it in both IE and Firefox, same result.

Together, WP and bbPress create the following cookies (aside from the wp-settings and test cookies):

Domain                  Cookie name<br />

/3dd/                   wordpress_logged_in_*<br />

/3dd/wp-admin           wordpress_*<br />

/3dd/wp-content/plugins wordpress_*<br />

/3dd/bbpress/bb-admin   wordpress_*<br />

/3dd/bbpress/bb-plugins wordpress_*<br />

/3dd/bbpress/my-plugins wordpress_*<br />

/3dd                    wordpress_logged_in_*<br />

I believe the last 4 are created by bbPress and it should be noted that there is no trailing slash on the wordpress_logged_in_* cookie path.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Hello, I want to moderate user register, so only those I allow may become a member in my bb, how could I do that?

thank you.

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, that is, I need the NONCEVALUE for…

http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=http://mysite.com&_wpnonce=NONCEVALUE

(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.

A new stable release has been made today to address a number of outstanding bugs in the 0.9 branch.

It is now available from the downloads page.

I have tried several times now, all with the same results of the setup going wrong. I keep getting this error message when trying setup things up even once step 1 is completed: Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /forums/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 113 Might anyone know whats going wrong, I have downloaded the most recently files? Thanks.

Started this site for users of Canon Powershot cameras to share information, photos, tips, etc. Running bbPress 9.0.4 with Kakumei Blue theme and a number of plugins. Feel free to join if you’d like!

All users have the following displayed for Last Activity: “39 years, 5 months ago”

It appears that any user who has posted to the forum displays Total Time Online with: “-345569 hours, 7 minutes”

Running bbPress: 0.9.0.4

Everything else on the forum appears to be fine. What caused this? Suggestions on how I can fix these dates/data without messing up the forum?

Thanks!

Hello,

If a user post in a wrong forum how can the admin move it to the correct forum?

Thanks

Using bbPress 0.9 and WordPress 2.7 — when a user tries to perform a password recovery, it’ll accept anything. It doesn’t give an error message if the username doesn’t exist.

Case study (this actually happened):

A user “forgot” his password, but it turned out he had actually never registered. So he goes to the password recovery page, enters a username that doesn’t exist, and is then greeted with the default reset password text, saying “An email has been sent to the address we have on file for you.” That text made him expect an email which never came.

A. Is this something that can be fixed? B. Is this something that should be filed as a bug?
