Thanks Chris - editing my .htaccess file solved my /forum/forum/ issue!

mzimmers on "get_bloginfo in bbpress"

mzimmers — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:12:47 +0000

Now, for something really cool...is there some magic php code that will let us test for whether we're executing bbpress or wordpress, and make this function call conditional? Like:

if (we're under the wordpress directory)
get_bloginfo(etc)
else if (we're under the bbpress directory)
bb_get_option(etc)
end if

This would be extremely helpful in developing robust modules that are used by both wp and bbpress.

Thanks!

I am having a similair problem.

I am requiring once wp-blog-header.php into bb-config as well, so I can call the headers and footers of my wp site. It is killing the ability to login.

chrishajer you are my hero. My host is also 1&1 and I was really wondering why I couldn't make these permalink work on my host while it was working perfectly on a local installation. Got really depressed about that. And then I tried to add the line Options -MultiViews and now it works.

You really made my day!!

Atkins, before making the reply, you have to check the "override posting restrictions" checkbox, right under the textarea

Please ask such questions on the page for the plugin itself, don't start a new topic.
I monitor the plugin RSS daily, the main forum section not as much.

there are two places in the plugin where it says
bb_current_user_can('administrate')

change administrate to moderate

bb_current_user_can('moderate')

Admin Can Post Anything, from _CK_ is a great plugin and works perfectly in the latest stable version of bbPress.

Is there anyway to make both Administrator and Moderator able to insert html content?

Best regards,

Filipe Deschamps

Clicknathan on "Viewed Threads vs. unviewed"

Clicknathan — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:00:49 +0000

Does anyone know how I might display viewed threads differently from unviewed?

For example, if I'm a user visiting my forum and I view a thread, maybe the link would then be a different color. I can do this with CSS obviously, but it'd be great if the thread was updated (ie, a new reply posted), that then the thread would change back.

Any ideas? I'm just looking for an indicator to show people what they've read or what's new.

racejunk on "Cookie problem between WP 2.71 and BBPress ,9"

racejunk — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:54:28 +0000

Installed the Frshly baked cookies plugin.
Have both able to share the database. A user created in either can be used in either. The issue is that if I log into WP fine. Then I go to BBPress and Have to Log in to it seperatly but it will then Log me off WP. If I then go and log into WP then it will log me off BBPress.

To see it:

_ck_ on "Will there be a 0.9.x.x release that works with php4?"

_ck_ — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 22:59:04 +0000

To be clear, both bbPress and WordPress for that matter still work fine under PHP 4.4.x and technically 4.4.x is still supported officially.

It's just the specific i18n problem they are encountering, where the fix in 1.0 hasn't been backported to 0.9

Sam is unlikely to make any further changes to 0.9 unless it's a security fix or serious performance problem.

I haven't looked at the fix for 1.0 but I suspect someone could make a patch to make 0.9 do the same thing if they really wanted.

Txanny on "Will there be a 0.9.x.x release that works with php4?"

Txanny — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 22:03:29 +0000

I don't think so. PHP4 is deprecated and there is no support for it. It's more than one year php4 is discontinued (since 2007-12-31).

So in my opinion there is no reason to make new developments compatible with it. The most reasonable way, is to take all the possibilities of the current version of PHP5.

chrishajer on "pretty permalink type change gives me a 404 error"

chrishajer — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:23:15 +0000

You need to create a file called .htaccess in your forum root. Be sure the file starts with a period, and this only works if you're on an Apache-based web server. IIS will not repond to this.

Point your browser to bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php and paste the output of that screen into the file called .htaccess in your forum root. Now change the setting in the bbPress admin. Hopefully all will be well with that setup, but if not, post here.

For example, if your forum is at http://www.example.com/forums/ then you need to point your browser to http://www.example.com/forums/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php and grab the output of that to paste into your new .htaccess file. Also, I think that only works if you're logged in as keymaster. I don't think you can just do that on any bbPress site.

Also, you might need to put this at the top of your .htaccess file:
Options -MultiViews

Some hosts won't work without that (like mine for, 1and1.com).

I'm having a similar problem (404 error when using Pretty Permalinks) and assumed it was the .htaccess file. But where do I get the code to add to the .htaccess file to make things work properly? Would I need to adjust my main .htaccess file (outside of bbpress) - or is there an .htaccess file for BBPress. I don't see an .htaccess file in BBPress anywhere...

Lookfab on "Will there be a 0.9.x.x release that works with php4?"

Lookfab — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 10:05:39 +0000

I've read the threads on the problem with 0.9.0.4 and php4. For example:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/warning-cannot-yet-handle-mbcs-in-html_entity_decode#post-24025

Are we going to see a version before 1.0 that I can run properly without upgrading the server to php5?

John James Jacoby on "pretty permalink type change gives me a 404 error"

John James Jacoby — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 18:07:52 +0000

Also don't forget to copy over the code from the .htaccess file that bbPress semi tries to generate for you. Simply changing the setting in the drop down box isn't enough.

pro101 — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 22:59:04 +0000

OK thanks. So I'm reading "run 0.9 GA for now". I hope there is a bridge from 0.9 at some point for integration from legacy sites into single login WP-Press, for those that run 0.9 now.

pro101 — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:47:04 +0000

Hi all: I'm a WP2.7 user and find the idea of running our forum on bbPress very interesting. Only issue is the Alpha level of 1.0 code and inability to use the 0.9 GA with WP2.7.
- any idea when we can expect a stable enough beta?
- if I decide to install the Alpha release on a separate DB (just to insulate our live WP site), will there be an easy path later on to consolidate for single login when bbPress 1.0 goes GA?

Sam Bauers on "important notice about bbPress 1.0 and _ck_ plugins"

Sam Bauers — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 12:33:11 +0000

The "example.org/forum-slug/topic-slug" type chaining is not on the cards, nor is completely removing "forum" or "topic" identifiers.

If anything, I think it dilutes SEO value to shove the forum slug into every single topic and it also causes problems for permalinks if the topic is moved between forums. Not to mention the fact that it can make topic URLs quite long.

Those two plugins that chrishajer has linked to will probably be incompatible with 1.0 alpha 7.

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permalinks-slugs-modification-removing-forum

I thought I read in these forums that the problem with eliminating "forum" or "topic" from the URI would make it hard for bbPress to know if you are talking about a slug or a forum. I can't find that reply now though. I though the comment was from _ck_.

It would be nice if the /forum/ could be totally removed :)

...and to be given the option to be changed to be the name of the forum you are viewing when viewing a topic, similar to WordPress...

ganzua on "important notice about bbPress 1.0 and _ck_ plugins"

ganzua — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 14:04:58 +0000

The main difference that is coming is the ability to change the directory names, e.g...

http://example.org/forum/first-forum

Can potentially be...

http://example.org/fora/first-forum

It would be nice if the /forum/ could be totally removed :)

Sam Bauers on "important notice about bbPress 1.0 and _ck_ plugins"

Sam Bauers — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:34:26 +0000

Well, for what it's worth it doesn't look like I'll be changing any filenames. The main difference that is coming is the ability to change the directory names, e.g...

http://example.org/forum/first-forum

Can potentially be...

http://example.org/fora/first-forum

Or some other langauge. Also there are going to be a few additional permalink styles like...

http://example.org/post/27/edit
http://example.org/new

And I'm experimenting with URL driven intersections, so...

http://example.org/tag/ice-cream/tag/chocolate
http://example.org/forum/support/tag/alpha/search/release+date

...might be something we see in the future.

The newer styles are very hard to detect with existing functions which are available to plugin devs, but I am trying to supply the tools required for easy detection and interaction with the new setup.
