i have just installed bbpress and i have a problem the site is here http://www.hlvdubs.co.uk/forum

the install worked fine, but it wont let me login and there is no theme!

whats going on?

somewhere between 0.8 and 0.9 the profile page became broken for most themes as “threads started” ($threads) was changed to the more accurate “topics started” ($topics)

If you don’t want to edit your theme profile page, here’s a mini-plugin to fix the problem:

function profile_fix_topics_to_threads() {global $topics, $threads; $threads=$topics;}

add_action( 'bb_profile.php', 'profile_fix_topics_to_threads');

Here’s a mini plugin that will cause the profile page to display the member # (handy if you are using pretty permalinks)

function bb_member_id_in_profile($keys) {	// inserts member id into profile without hacking

global $self;

if (empty($self)==true && isset($_GET['tab'])==false && bb_get_location()=="profile-page") {

(array) $keys=array_merge(array_slice((array) $keys, 0 , 1), array('ID' => array(0, __('Member #'))), array_slice((array) $keys,  1));

}

return (array) $keys;

}

add_filter( 'get_profile_info_keys','bb_member_id_in_profile',255);  // last item inserted = first item displayed

Hello

I presently use a framework called CakePHP for my website. I have an existing users data model etc., that consists of many tables and so forth. It’d be a hassle for my users to have to set up a whole new account.

So, I was wondering if bbPress is by any chance customizable to the extent of database structure and basically the way databases are treated. I guess I’m looking for the most customizable forum script right now.

So can it seamlessly integrate with existing data, besides WordPress?

bbPress 1.0 alpha series

The first alpha of bbPress 1.0 is out. bbPress 1.0 will be based off of BackPress, and that’s the biggest difference so far between the 1.0 branch and the good ol’ 0.9 branch.

If you’re feeling adventurous, take the alpha for a spin (at the bottom of the download page) and let us know what breaks by submitting bug reports to bbPress trac.

I administer a phpbb forum that we are considering migrating to new software. As I’m pretty familiar with WordPress I thought this might be a good option, but I wanted to double check and ask a couple questions:

1) Can bbPress import my phpbb database? What info am I liable to lose?

2) My forum has a public section, a private section, and a superprivate section for admins and such. Does bbpress support this sort of thing? We govern who can go where with groups and permissions in phpbb, but I’m concerned that it wouldn’t translate.

Thanks!

Hello

I have encounter another problem when coding new plugin. I have a function that will return data from usermeta table:

function get_twitter($user_id) {



$user = bb_get_user( $user_id );



$bb_twitter = $user->social_twitter;



if ( $bb_twitter ) { return $bb_twitter; }  else  { return ""; }



}

It’s working fine with echo on profile edit page within other function with $user_id set as global:

function add_socialize_to_profile_edit() {



global $user_id, $bb_current_user, $bb_socialize;



$bb_twitter = get_twitter($user_id);

echo $bb_twitter;



}

But the same function is not working on standard profile page – therefore I can edit twitter account, but I can’t display it on profile page. Any ideas what to do in order to display it? How to get this $user_id on profile page?

Hello

I’m trying to install bbPress but every time I try am greeted by the message ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing the specified MySQL extension (mysql) which is required for bbPress.’

I am using Windows XP Pro SP2 and have PHP 5.2.44 and MySQL 5.o installed . Both these applications work in isolation of each other and I have tried to install the MySQL extensions for PHP.

To give more detail; I have file php_mysqli.dll (version 5.2.1.1) in the folder C:Program FilesExt, file libmysql.dll is in C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.0bin and this included in the Windows PATH.

I also have extension=php_mysqli.dll defined in section [MySQLi] of file C:Program Filesphp.ini.

Can you advise where my PC’s configuration is wrong, or if I need to carry out additional steps, because I would like to evaluate bbPress for use in a Java application I’m writing?

Thanks

Martin O’Shea.
