Hey guys,
I’ve almost finished installing my bbpress on http://www.stereopoly.de/forum but there’s one thing doing wrong: The permalinks. I want to use pretty permalinks, but obviously my server does not support the easy .htaccess thingy (Multi Views).. Thus I have to run http://www.stereopoly.de/forum/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php right? But if i do so, I will get to the homepage (stereopoly.de/forum)
Any idea, how to solve this problem?
sorry for my bad english, i’m just german 
cheers
Hi
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to solve this. I installed the forum at www.redsunday.net and got the message that the instal was successful, but when I try to open the page at www.redsunday.net/forums/ (the URL I got via e-mail) I get a 404 error. I can open the admin page at http://www.redsunday.net/bbpress/ but nothing works. The only thing weird about the instal was that I had to change the location of the MySQL database from localhost to the name of a different server, it seems my ISP (GoDaddy) set things up a little different then most. Can anybody suggest a fix?
Thanks!
Hello, I noticed a small issue with BBPress that I have. When a topic has been super stickied it no longer shows up in its original forum. It only appears on the front page. Was this how super-stickies were intended to function? I would think that it should appear on the home page as well as within its original forum. Just a tip!
Thanks

I imported the wordpress functions I need but get_the_ID() from wordpress doesn;t seem to work in bbpress. Is there a bbpress function that does the same thing? It gives you the index number of posts or comments or whatever that is currently being printed by the system
Is there a normal process or formula for converting a wordpress plugin to a bbpress plugin? Let’s say that it uses all the same tables and everything? Is there a way to switch it over or do you just have to re-engineer it?
I’m trying to use the same database and tables for wordpress and bbpress but they don’t merge painlessly.
I set the table prefix in bbpress’s config to wp_ and set the database to be the same as wordpress’s. I also set the wp_prefix in bbpress’s config.
Then I tried to start bbpress but it threw a bunch of exceptions and now it will not save new posts. Can anyone help me?
I enclose it’s exceptions
Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.
bbPress database error: [Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key]
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD COLUMN post_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment
bbPress database error: [Key column 'post_id' doesn't exist in table]
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD PRIMARY KEY (post_id)
bbPress database error: [The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes]
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD FULLTEXT KEY post_text (post_text)
1. Created table wp_forums
2. Created table wp_topics
3. Created table wp_topicmeta
4. Created table wp_tags
5. Created table wp_tagged
6. Changed default value of wp_posts.post_status from publish to 0
7. Added column wp_posts.post_id
8. Added column wp_posts.forum_id
9. Added column wp_posts.topic_id
10. Added column wp_posts.poster_id
11. Added column wp_posts.post_text
12. Added column wp_posts.post_time
13. Added column wp_posts.poster_ip
14. Added index wp_posts FULLTEXT KEY post_text (post_text)
15. Added index wp_users UNIQUE KEY user_login (user_login)
bbPress database error: [Field 'post_content' doesn't have a default value]
INSERT INTO wp_posts (forum_id, topic_id, poster_id, post_text, post_time, poster_ip, post_status, post_position) VALUES ('1', '1', '1', '
First Post! w00t.
','2008-02-22 15:10:39', '127.0.0.1', '0', 1)
bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'post_id' in 'field list']
SELECT post_id, poster_id FROM wp_posts WHERE topic_id = 1 AND post_status = 0 ORDER BY post_time
bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'post_id' in 'where clause']
SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_id = 0
Finished!I am a new user, but if I had the time this would be a good first plug-in write for me. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time. Sooo, if anyone does have the time and interest, a very useful plug-in would place a button at the bottom of every post that says something like “Report Abuse”. If someone sees spam in a post or foul language, etc., they click on this link and a report is sent to the moderator.
This is used in many large forums I use and could help control misuse of a bbPress forum.
Thank you
PS I posted this in another thread before it occurred to me to start a new topic.
When I try to post a new thread with rev1075 I get a blank page shown, what could be the problem do you think?
Thanks,
Alex
I’m trying to add forums to our website, and was pretty stoked when I finally realized that I was one of the 1% who had to change the localhost tag and got a forum to appear magically where it was supposed to be. But! Now half the links don’t work. I seem to be able to create a post, but when I click the button to post it, it sends me to a lovely 404 error, yet the dang thing is posted. I can access the Admin section, but none of the actual forums or any of the profile links work. Did I muck this up or is there something more diabolical at work? Here’s the link to it:
