When I goto a page such as dailytestimony.net/forums/profile/user I get the main blogs 404 error page. Do I need something in a .htaccess file or something? EDIT: I get it with trying to view forums too, I am using name based permalinks. EDIT2: Ok it seems the answer is simple I just needed to RTD (Read The Documentation), Options +MultiViews <rant>IDK why they just couldn't distribute a .htaccess file with that line with bbpress. Save people the trouble because they mention it in the documentation here but at the verry least it should like to the documentation where you set permalink options. </rant> MikeLothar on "Several domains" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/several-domains#post-16443 Sat, 24 May 2008 11:16:39 +0000 MikeLothar 16443@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Exactly. :) chrishajer on "Several domains" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/several-domains#post-16442 Sat, 24 May 2008 09:11:48 +0000 chrishajer 16442@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Ah, so when you said this "Now, when i get a visitor from "domainB.com", he will be redirected to "domainA.com" pretty fast, like when he's clicking the "Home" link on the forum." this is NOT want you want, eh? You want multiple domains/URLs all pointing to the same bbPress installation and people to stay on the domain they came in from?

I think i didn't explain myself too good. I want users who come from domainA to stay at domainA, and users from domainB to stay at domainB, and so on (got quite an amount of domains actually). I need bbPress to somehow get the domain from the browser, and use this domain instead of the one saved under the 'uri' or 'BB_HOST' variable. chrishajer on "Several domains" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/several-domains#post-16434 Fri, 23 May 2008 23:14:54 +0000 chrishajer 16434@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Why not redirect them with a permanent 301 redirect? If your host does not offer this, why not create a directory for each domain, like this: /var/www/vhosts/domaina.com/ /var/www/vhosts/domainb.com/ You install bbPress in the domaina.com/ directory. In the domainb.com/ directory, you put an index.php file in there like this: <pre><code><?php header("Status: 301 Moved Permanently", false, 301); header("Location: <a href="http://www.domainA.com/"" rel="nofollow">http://www.domainA.com/"</a>); exit(); ?></code></pre>   Then, when anyone accesses <a href="http://www.domainB.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.domainB.com/</a> they are seamlessly directed to <a href="http://www.domainA.com/." rel="nofollow">http://www.domainA.com/.</a> Would that accomplish what you need? You can also use .htaccess for 301 redirects if there is more than one page, like there are search engine results with pages from domainB.com already out there, and you want to redirect them all to domainA.com.

I have several domains pointing to the same bbpress forum. For example, during the installation, i installed bbpress with the domain name setting of "domainA.com". Now, when i get a visitor from "domainB.com", he will be redirected to "domainA.com" pretty fast, like when he's clicking the "Home" link on the forum. I have managed to change this, by replacing, in the header file of the template, the: <code><?php bb_option('uri'); ?></code> .. to: <code><a href="http://<?php" rel="nofollow">http://<?php</a> _e($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ?></code> And it works. However, bbpress use the 'uri' alot, and for example, if the user is not logged in, and is trying to post, he will be redirected to domainA. What i'm asking for, i guess, is if it's possible, in the php files somewhere, to specifically define the uri to be the server'http_host' instead of the domainA? Where can i find and change this, and how? Thank you very much.

Mod_rewrite will now rewrite to the profile page properly, without redirecting it. But now, it shows I'm no longer logged in when I'm on a rewritten page, even though I am. When I try to log in. It just reloads the page. Here's the mod in_user_profile_link(): <pre><code>function get_user_profile_link( $id = 0, $page = 1 ) { $user = bb_get_user( bb_get_user_id( $id ) ); $rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' ); if ( $rewrite ) { if ( $rewrite === 'slugs' ) { $column = 'user_nicename'; } else { $column = 'ID'; } $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "profile/" . $user->$column . ( 1 < $page ? "/page/$page" : '' ); } else { $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "profile/" . $user->$column . ( 1 < $page ? "/page/$page" : '' ); } $r = str_replace('forums/profile/' . $user->$column , "profile/" . $user->$column, $r); return apply_filters( 'get_user_profile_link', $r, $user->ID ); }</code></pre> My goal is create a short URL such as <a href="http://www.example.com/profile/username" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/profile/username</a> stitchadoodle on "Pretty Permalinks Not Working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working/page/2#post-15966 Sun, 04 May 2008 21:41:38 +0000 stitchadoodle 15966@http://bbpress.org/forums/ **update**: just found <a href="http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks</a> after looking for days, don't know why it took so long to find. this did the trick! ---------------------------- Also having a problem with pretty permalinks. i am on bluehost with the following: wordpress 2.5.1 installed at example.com/blog bbpress 0.9.0.2 installed at example.com/bb i do have my wp akismet key applied in bbpress, but other than that no wp integration. bbpress works fine until i activate pretty permalinks. at that time, i can see all of my topics & stuff, but i just get 404 when i try to get to them. here's an interesting thing i discovered: both installed to my site via SimpleScripts. WP works fine, but bb appears to have no .htaccess file at all. i do see one in attached to a theme, but that's it, and apparently not useful there. since this seems to be the issue, sort of narrowed down, i created an .htaccess file using the code shown by jethro, but i know there's something missing. it didn't break my site, but i couldn't even get to admin area to see if i could make the permalinks work. i'm not a programmer, but if anyone can tell me what code i need to have in the .htaccess file, i can make the file and upload it. thanks! jethrokapinksy on "Pretty Permalinks Not Working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working/page/2#post-15882 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:06:31 +0000 jethrokapinksy 15882@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Ok, I just realized that what worked for me only applied to a 'clean' top-level install, and what people are having issues with is installing bbpress in example.com/forums/, because example.com's .htaccess is over-riding example.com/forums/ 's .htaccess file. So here's my example.com (permalinks work great): <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> chmod: 644 And here's my example.com/forums .htaccess content: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /forum/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*)?$ /forum/$1.php [PT,QSA] </IfModule> Any ideas?
