RSS FEEDS

Published on April 29th, 2009 by

Is there way that I can add a RSS Feed for my blog post and outside RSS Feeds and make it show up in my BBPress Forum under selective topics??

bbpress, the correct solution?

Published on April 29th, 2009 by

Hi All,

I am getting a decent about of comments to my WordPress news blog. Problem is that these posts are scattered over many posts, so does not seem to be much activity.

Could bbpress be the solution? I want it to be possible for users to overview the discussion at the various news articles.

If you have seen a solution on an other website, please send me a link.

I have also looked at a integration of WordPress and vbulletin, but seems like a solution this is not without problems.

Hope to hear from you

Installed: Try logging in, does nothing

Published on April 29th, 2009 by

I just installed bbpress in the same database as my WordPress install. Got an email after installing saying it was all set, and that my login for bbpress was the same as my WP login. So when I login on bbpress, it just recycles the page, and asks me to login again. If I enter the incorrect password, it knows that it is incorrect and notifies me. I enter the correct password, and it just goes back to the main forum page, without being logged in. Any suggestions? Thanks!

DAMN POST FORM!!! any ideas?

Published on April 27th, 2009 by

Hellooo!

Well, i recently change to bbpress (this rocks) and i’m trying to make a theme compatible with the current theme in my wordpress blog. It went pretty well, until i came across the post-form to create a new topic and i’m in blank…

Let me explain: i’m using the theme kakumei, and instead off the hottags on the left, i’m going with a sidebar with other features (tags, the ‘fav this’ feature, link to main forum, etc…). This works well in the front-page, in the topic, profile, and other, but i’m having some problems put this working in the post-form.php !

The way i use to style was: the sidebar in <div id=sidebar></div>, and the content (infobox, post, topic meta, etc) in <div id=”content”></div> just like the kakumei theme.

My problem with the post-form.php is the function that is used in the functions.bb-template to the ‘pre_post_form’ and ‘post_post_form’. Using the <div id=”content”></div> in the post-form.php the <div> actually appears in the middle of the code of the form in the post-form and the content dont stay aligned. Putting the <div> in the functions.bb-template, just makes the <div> repeating in the others pages where the post-form is used, and the content dont stay aligned anyway.

i’ll really appreciate if you could suggest me some ideas. tks :)

What do you consider an “important action”?

Published on April 27th, 2009 by Ben L.

I’m making a moderation/administration log feature for the bbPress Moderation Suite and I’m wondering what actions you consider “important” enough to log.

So far, I have plugin (de)activation and forum deletion.

‘User Database Table Prefix’ error in bbPress – Can’t Log in

Published on April 27th, 2009 by gmrtech

I looked at several other forum posts – but my problem is slightly different:

I have WordPress 2.7.1 and installed bbPress on a separate database. So I have 2 databases on my server (WP, and bbPress). My forum is www.waltribeiro.net/forum – and I can’t log in, create new user, etc.

In the ‘User Database Table Prefix’ section of the bbPress>Settings> I changed the WP Admin as Key Master, WP Editor as Moderator, etc. in User Role Map (according to http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/23/integrating-a-bbpress-forum-with-your-self-installed-wordpress/)

So I realize now that when I incorrectly entered ‘wp_’ as my Table Prefix instead of leaving it blank that bbPress can’t find the correct directory: ‘ForumWalt.wp_users’ should actually be ‘ForumWalt.users’ (right?)

As a result, I get this:

bbPress database error: [Table ‘ForumWalt.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT ID FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘Walt’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘ForumWalt.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘Walt’

So I can’t log in to fix it, and I trial-and- error the bb_config.php file to $bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; and $bb_table_prefix = ”; and $bb_table_prefix = ”;

but no luck. I tried going into myPHPadmin and changing the SQL names’ prefix.. still nothing.

Here’s the pic from myAdmin

http://waltribeiro.net/pictures/SQL-Problem_Screenshot.png

I’m convinced that somewhere its’ looking for wp_user when in fact it needs to look for bb_user or else it won’t find me. Should I reinstall, is the solution easier than what I’m making it out to be?

Any help?!

trouble logging into svn for uploading a new plugin

Published on April 27th, 2009 by

I can’t seem to login to SVN to upload a new (approved) plugin. I’ve tried resetting my password a couple of times. I’m using the same login and pw I use to log into these forums. I’ve logged in and out of these forums just fine a couple times, so it would seem they at least know I have a valid password. Anyone else having trouble logging into SVN here?

BBPRESS Maybe great software but my experience is

Published on April 27th, 2009 by

it is very difficult to use and to get support if you are not computer literate. There is no support apart from some dedicated volunteers. People would be advised to use another Forum option unless you are very technically inclined or have someone on retainer that knows how to use the software.

this is a neat plugin, but is it possible to go backwards?

Is it possible to import new threads from bbpress as posts in the wordpress blog? Not all of them, but ones labelled/tagged/etc in a specific way?
