bbPress.org

Hi,

I want to automate login in bbpress and start bbpress session. How can i do that? I have my portal setup with list of users who come there for additional functionalities, I want to extend it by adding bbpress forum.

Basically in that way…

I need to do 1. Register users in bbpress database 2. login in bbpress whenever user logs in to my site and 3. logs out whenever user logs out from my site.

Are there any interfaces available which i can use in my code? My code is also in php and I am willing to modify some core files if required.

Please let me know. I will really appreciate your help.

This bug and sucurity fix is hot off the presses.

I am currently having a problem where when I log in to wordpress (or bbpress) at url:myurl.com, then click a link that is directed to www.myurl.com, then I am no longer logged in. (Cookie issues). I am trying to figure out how to define either *.babyquestions101.com (preferably), or if that won’t work then babyquestions101.com AND www.babyquestions101.com.

Give it a shot here:

http://babyquestions101.com/

and the forum is here:

http://babyquestions101.com/forum/

PLEASE CREATE ANY ACCOUNTS WITH THE WORD “TEST” AND ANOTHER WORD/NAME IN THE ACCOUNT NAME, unless of course you intend on keeping the account.

UPDATE:

My wordpress options blog url (in the wordpress admin panel) is listed WITH the “www” in front of the domain.. I am digging into mod_rewrite directives, but to be honest, I’m not really grasping it. Right when I think I have it figured out, it throws me. I have been able to get requests going to http://babyquestions101.com to redirect to http://www.babyquestions101.com/ using mod_rewrite in the .htaccess files. However, when I try it out in the forums, (http://babyquestions101.com/forum/) it just resolves at that address, and doesn’t insert the www. Any ideas?

Don’t ask me how (I always find a way to do stuff like this), but I managed to delete the keymaster for my forum.

Since my forum is “live” and I don’t want to lose posts, re-installing isn’t really an option for me. Is there some way I can modify the database directly to grant keymaster permissions to an existing user?

In bb_usermeta, I found a column with data like this: a:1:{s:6:"member";b:1;} that I think might be the key to doing what I want, but changing the word “member” to “keymaster” doesn’t seem to do the trick. What should I do?

I’d like to modify the email that new users receive after they register. Specifically, I’d like to add some textual instructions on how to change their password. Is there a plugin that allows me to do this?

I switched from phpBB to bbPress recently thanks very much in part to a script found in these forums.

Now, many of the existing posts contain links to each other in the old phpBB format /topic.php?t=123. Since the topic IDs have stayed the same in the conversion process, I’d like to use ModRewrite to automatically redirect to the new /topic/123 URL scheme. I’ve tried the following in my .htaccess, but it doesn’t appear to work. (Admittedly, my knowledge of ModRewrite is shaky at best.)

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^/forums/viewtopic.php?t=([0-9]+)$

/forums/topic/$1 [R]

(In the real code there isn’t a linebreak on the second line.)

Does anyone have any advice?

I have installed the latest version of bbPress in a sub-directory of my blog ../bb

Links for template pages generally work and so does the link to the admin and presentation, plugins etc.

But the links to Add Topic, Forums etc all just take me back to the blog home page. Is this something to with WordPress Integration which I have somehow messed up?

Any help much appreciated

I am using Basic-authentication for all of other authentication and access control on my site, and would like to have bbPress detect that and leverage $ENV{‘REMOTE_USER’}

Is this possible? Has anyone done it, that can share the code?

Thanks,

The installation seemed to go smooth, and I can get to the main admin page, and main forum page, but when I navigate to “edit profile” I get the error below. A very similar error comes up when I try to post…I think it may have something to do with a redirection setting, but not sure.

Hello,

I need to add a custom page to my forum that acts like any other page, but with custom content I have added. It’s actually going to be a “Contest Status” page, where users can check to see if they have completed the steps necessary to enter the contest, and once they have to track the contest’s progress. I know how to create a custom page in wordpress that just points to:

www.myurl.com/chosen-page-name

but I can’t quite wrap my brain around this in bbpress. I want the most elegant, simplest, and most unobtrusive solution I can find. I would love the page to resolve to:

www.myurl.com/forum/contest

Is this functionality built in? Is it plugin-able? (I’ve never built a plugin). Is there a simple workaround?

Any tips or information is greatly appreciated.
