Hi! I’m just getting my feet wet with bbPress. Two quick questions:

1- Is it possible for a forum administrator to upgrade a post by another user to a “sticky post”?

2- Is there a function/plug in where users can vote to make a post a sticky post?

I dunno if my post gets deleted, but I posted this twice already and can’t find it, so here another try.

I tried installing the latest version of the social network from buddypress two days ago, but I fear it isn’t working properly. Whenever I click on a link, be it a member, blog, post, groups, create groups, etc I get redirected back to my homepage where my blog is. Is there a plugin that I am missing or do I have to set up sth?

Thanks.

I’ve tried installing bbPress 0.9.0.4 twice now, and with the same results both times. It installs, runs, lets me into the ACP to change things, etc. I add nothing more than a topic and a post, and get this for every link I select;

Not Found

The requested URL /topic/welcome-to-the-forum was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

It’s all in the DB, so what’s happening? Any help appreciated before I go mad (have tried 5 BB packages in 3 weeks trying to meet my users requirements).

[edit]

Aha! Found a post elsewhere about changing Pretty Permalinks, and that was what wrecked it. Should perhaps have some sort of internal test when you click the dropdown list..?

Hi!

I have filled in the plugin request form, but I’m completely clueless with SVN. I’ve downloaded TortoiseSVN and uploaded my plugin to the trunk folder (as a zip), but can’t see it on the site. Where do I go from here? Thanks

How can i lock new posts (and topics) generally?

If a registered User posts a post the post should be locked until an adminitrator has reviewed it and unlocks it.

What do i have to change on the script?

Oh, I checked my webserver’s log and found that my rather obsolete German translation is still downloaded frequently. So I decided to rework it for the latest stable bbPress 0.9.0.4.

You can download my language file on my German blog.

And now for the folks that understand German better than English:

Oha, ich habe einen Blick in die Logdateien meines Webservers geworfen und musste dabei feststellen, dass meine ziemlich veraltete deutsche Übersetzung immer noch häufig heruntergeladen wird. Deshalb habe ich meine Übersetzung für die aktuelle stabile Version 0.9.0.4 von bbPress überarbeitet.

Wer mag, kann meine Sprachdatei in meinem kleinen Blog herunterladen…

i have installed bbpress in the root directory itself! now the problem is i want a user to login from a different page say index2.php and before getting redirected to the forum’s mainpage i.e index.php he should be redirected to index3.php. All the 3 index pages are in the root directory itself.

Basically i need a login box on the mainpage of the website and then after being logged in the user should be redirected to the backend of the website! Not the forum mainpage. The forums have been installed in the root directory so as to overcome the problem of bbpress not being able to share cookies over sub directories apart from wordpress! I use the database of the bbpress itself still haven’t got any success!

Hoping for a quick response!

Thanks!

please advice

thanks

I’ve just synced cookies on bbPress 0.9.04 and WordPressMU for the second time. I’ve read a few places that it doesn’t work or is difficult, so I wanted to share my solution. It’s really very easy. I wrote it up in a blog post:

http://www.callum-macdonald.com/2009/05/17/bbpress-09-and-wordpressmu-27/

It was remarkably simple (at least to me) to get it all working. Summary of steps:

1) Set all _KEY values to the same in WordPress and copy to bbPress.

2) Repeat for _SALT values.

3) Set COOKIE_DOMAIN and COOKIE_PATH

4) Settings > WordPress Integration > Show manual config settings, copy into bb-config.php.

5) From 4, change the authcookie value to wordpress_logged_in_

Step 5 won’t work exactly on WordPress standalone because it uses a hash in the cookie name. You can probably check the WordPress cookie in your browser and set it manually. Or maybe it’ll “just work”.

Then I whipped up a plugin to set / unset the other 2 WordPress cookies on bbPress login / out. It only works for WPMU right now. Somebody could probably improve it to work for WordPress. Code here:

This might be useful to somebody…

Looking forward to using this plugin.

For those of us who are a little slow on the PHP stuff, what and where do you have to insert code into profile.php?

Thanks for your help
