It’s not built to do this so you’d have to change atleast the database table names and option names. You should start by downloading the latest update, renaming the folder and any database table names / option names and then place it inside your plugin folder. You’ll most likely receive error messages so you’d need to fix those and then basically change anything as necessary. You’d also have to rename the admin page names as they’d conflict with each other (another thing I’ve just thought of, there will be more).

That said I will keep this in mind and try add this as an extension to wpbb as not everyone will want it I think but I cannot offer any guarantee of when this will be available I’m afraid.

I’ll mark this as resolved but feel free to post here if you have any more questions, problems, suggestions etc.

Thanks.

I really need more information to be able to help you. That should work yes but since it hasn’t it’s possible that it needs to be displayed a different way (which is wrong really, they should all be consistent with one another). If you could setup a temporary admin account for me and email me the details or let me know what theme / plugins you’re using that’d be great. ([email protected])

Thanks

If you have edit/delete/sticky/lock permissions you will be able to edit/delete/sticky/lock any topic and edit/delete any post. If you edit or delete the post you’re only affecting the post and not the topic. This is correct yes, currently those permissions give you that permission over all topics/post within the forum but as I say will work on adding more individual custom permissions in the next version.

Yes that’s how it’s supposed to work. Those permissions allow a roles users to perform those actions across the entire forum. Useful for admin/moderator-like roles without access to the admin dashboard.

I’ve already said however that I will add extra permissions for individual roles such as “can edit own topics/posts” and then you would need to make sure that that roles edit permission in the forum(s) is unchecked. This will be in the next version.

Would you be able to give me access to a temporary admin account on the non-multisite WordPress site so I could take a look (because if it’s multisite, has to be network admin to view the plugins files). You can email it to me at [email protected]

Try going to Tools -> Refresh Roles. It’s possible that WPBB wasn’t able to do this for you so you will need to update the allowed roles in the database.

Let me know if this works!

Thanks.

Hey,

This shouldn’t happen and seems to be returning an error instead of a WP_User object so you can replace the function with the code which just performs more checks before doing anything and won’t display an error but you will need to check the field “wpbb_currentvisit” in “wp_usermeta” (replacing wp with your database prefix if you’re using one) is updating succesfully.

function wpbb_user_currentvisit($user_login = NULL, $user) {
	if (func_num_args() >= 1) {
		$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
		if ($user) {
			$user_id = $user->ID;
		} elseif ($user_login) {
			// Attempt to get user ID from username
			$user = get_user_by('login', $user_login);
			$user_id = $user->ID;
		}
		$update_user_currentvisit = update_user_meta($user_id, 'wpbb_currentvisit', $date);
	}
}

Please let me know if you don’t understand anything, questions, problems, etc.

Thanks ??

Are you using the latest version, v1.0.4?

If so could you add this line to wp-bb.php:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

Doesn’t matter where along as it is between the

<?php

and

?>

Thanks

What you could do is change the setting “Enable Guest Permissions” to “No” so that when guests visit your forum just a login and register link is displayed, regardless of page. If the setting is enabled then you’ll be able to set their permissions for each forum but the My Profile, Unread Topics, Unanswered Topics and My Messages pages will still display a login and register link.

You’d have to search for a plugin that can add custom fields to the registration form as WPBB simply redirects you to the register and login pages and doesn’t yet offer this functionality (just searched for such a plugin and there are 1000 to choose from just ensure the one you pick is up to date).

Will mark this as resolved but feel free to post here if you have any more questions, problems etc

Thanks

I think you misunderstood my post kiran4wordpress.

The problem you have is fixed in v1.0.4 which has been available since I made that post and I’m working on making it multisite compatible in v1.0.5.

Thanks for your help for allowing me to use your website have sent you another email back and is fixed in 1.0.4. Thanks.

Should be fixed in 1.0.4.

Hey skpacman,

Glad you got it working. Will add a custom error message in there when this happens.

Thanks.

Well if someone is logged out xx_capabilities wouldn’t exist so it would know the current user is a guest otherwise it exists and contains some value. If WPBB fails to get a value from xx_capabilities then it returns an empty string which doesn’t count you as a guest.

So that shouldn’t of happened but I can’t help but think it had something to do with the bug that I’ve now fixed or the fact you’re using multi sites. I will work on making it compatible by v1.0.5.

I’ve just released an update, v1.0.4 I released so that people are aware changes have been made and can update and no longer encounter that bug.

Thanks again for your patience.

Sorry to hear that.

Though you and others should know that the “Codestyling localisation” plugin has nothing to do with WPBB. Atleast in rusmanson’s case it sounded like that plugin didn’t work so he decided not to use WPBB.
