bbPress.org

Hello,

I have a new installation of bb press integrated with my main wordpress site. For a whole bunch of reasons I want to edit the bb press installation so that there’s no way to register for the board through the board itself; I only want people to be able to register through the main wordpress site. Is there any way to block registration through the board, or just remove each element of it manually? I’m using the theme “Scoun” if it makes any difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi —

So the first time I tried to install this onto my new database, I selected the WordPress Integration and gave it a go: I received an email telling me I was all set to go, but the installation page reported this error:

Table ‘wp_users’ already exists

Table ‘wp_usermeta’ already exists

>>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation.

So I went back to Step 2 and went through the installastion, skipping the Integration part … and again I received the confirmation email, but got the same error:

Table ‘wp_users’ already exists

Table ‘wp_usermeta’ already exists

>>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation.

even though, looking at the installation log, it clearly says it skipped the integration part …

how do I get a fresh installation, or fix the error?

hey guys, please critique my design. www.picbi.com/forum

ok, so I added require_once('path/to/bbpress/bb-config.php'); to my wp-config.php file. I then added the bbpress discussions code:

<table id="latest">

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘Movie’); ?> — <?php new_topic(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Last Poster’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Freshness’); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php if ( $super_stickies ) : foreach ( $super_stickies as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <big>“><?php topic_title(); ?></big></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”>“><?php topic_time(); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $super_stickies ?>

<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> “><?php topic_title(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”>“><?php topic_time(); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>

</table>

I added that code to my index.php file in my wordpress theme and this is what I get as the output in the browser:

</tr>

</table>

Obviously, there is something wrong. Does anyone know what?

Is it possible to create a password protected forum with BBPress? If so, what is the easiest way?

By default, when a user creates a new topic, it becomes the first post in that topic. At the top of each topic is the area where the title, last poster, add to favorites, etc.. are. I want to add that first post into that area. How do I do this or where is the place to get the initial post.

In this case, there would be no replies when the topic is first created. How do I make it so that if there are no replies, it would say “Be the first to reply”?

Thank You.

How do I chage the text “New topic in this forum”? And also Add New Topic to something different.

(I tried to look it up in the post-forum.php but there is nothing.)

For more than a week I am fighting with bbPress and the latest WordPress version.

My problem is that user comments don’t appear. Well, I can see them in the Administration area in WP but not in the forum. Users already move away because they think I blocked their comments.

I actually installed bbpress because I wanted users to discuss on my page but now no one can discuss anymore lol.

My WP installation is at www.webserver.com and I installed bbpress on www.mywebserver/forum (example addresses)

I installed the WP plugin “bbPress Post” and filled out all the details. Also I installed bbSync.

At least when I write a new post the post title appears in the forum. So one good thing. But that’s all. How do users comment from my blog? I don’t want to put a link on every post “go to the forum and post there”.

I do have a custom theme by the way.

Actually I am not an idiot but now I’m just freaking out with bbPress because it’s so complicated and most of the how-to’s don’t work or are just bad explained. Here’s an example:

“Want a link back to the blog post? ” it days in the bbSync settings.

Well, what can I do there? There’s a field. Do I have to write YES or a special tag? Absolutely no explaination.

Ok so I have searched the forums but didn’t see any relevant. I just installed bbpress and then went to setting and set the correct settings for integration with my separate wp database. Now I didn’t see the change when I went to the forums so I logged out cleared mu cache and cookies and went to log in with the same user name as before but it comes up as the user name is not registered. It doesn’t make sense it looks like it integrated the db’s fine but erased by login information. Is there a way to check to see if it integrated correctly? Also is there a way to make another or recover my admin login information since it looks like it deleted it.

Edit: I just tried to register a new user name and it gave me this error.

I managed to add the WordPress functions to bbPress, but I now need to know how I can add the bbPress functions to WordPress. I want to include the exact “Discussions” code in “front-page.php” of bbPress to the “index.php” in WordPress. I know there is a plugin for this, but it wasn’t what I wanted.

I used this code to integrate WordPress into bbPress (added to the top of bb_config.php)

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-config.php');

if ( !defined(‘BB_PATH’) )

define(‘BB_PATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BB_PATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

I think all I need to do is require bb-config.php and then the bb-settings.php. Anyone know how to do this (following the php example above)?

*I only wish I know php.
