define('AUTH_SALT', 'AUTHSALT');
define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'LOGGEDINSALT');Where did you add those?
Also, can you do a fresh installation? It’s possible something was not entered properly into one of the fields. There is a lot of text to read to get all the cookie settings right.
In reply to: WPMU integrationWhat is a “blog and post counter”?
If it’s a plugin, it might be easier to just adapt it to bbPress rather than load WPMU into the bbPress config, if that’s the only function you need.
In reply to: Tying WordPress Entries to bbPress forum entriesWhat version are you using? For older version, the bbPress plugin bbSync does what you want. For the newer alpha versions, there is bbPress live, a WordPress plugin.
In reply to: database character collation ?You don’t normally need to set anything there. The installation will continue fine without it.
Every MySQL database uses character collation, but it’s normally hidden from sight. For my bbPress installation, the collation is
utf8_general_ci. But I didn’t have to set it, it’s already there. In a unique situation you might need to set it, but I’ve never messed with it.In reply to: Installation procedure, can’t understand clearly…Step 3:
Do you need to install a language other than English? If so, you can find a list of language files here:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-translation-internationalization-into-local-languages
If you need to use a language other than English, you need to navigate to the folder bb-includes and create a folder inside that folder, called
languages, then put the language files in there.Step 4:
If your website is http://www.example.com, and you put your forum in a directory called
forum, you would open a browser and go to http://www.example.com/forum/ and the installer will start for you.In reply to: BBpress not loadingI had a similar experience.

I wish I knew what caused it.
In reply to: Topics Per Page plugin – new problemWith a 500 error, I figured it would be a pretty blatant syntax error (or it’s a directive that’s not allowed, but if it works on the host in a different directory, I figured it would not be an allowed directive problem). Can’t verify that it will work, but I think it can tell you if it will error out.
In reply to: Topics Per Page plugin – new problemYou have a couple different problems. I have no idea if fixing the permalinks will fix the page numbers.
If you have an .htaccess in the Forums directory and there is a 500 error, then there was a problem with that file. You can verify the syntax of an .htaccess file here.

In reply to: Topics Per Page plugin – new problemThe rewrite rules are correct to add the topic and forum in the URI. If it didn’t, bbPress would not know based on the permalink if you were talking about a topic of a forum. So, that part of it is correct. You have another issue causing the permalinks to not work for the forum. Maybe a .htaccess file one directory up?
Yes, sometimes the full path is required rather than a relative path. At least you have resolved that problem. The other problem I do not know about. Can you have a look at the database for the bb_usermeta (or wp_usermeta if you’re integrated) and see that the value is for the admin/keymaster user?
In reply to: First poster / thread started by…On this forum “Started 5 hours ago by jabberwock” appears. So, there are functions to do what you want to do. Maybe it’s just not in the theme you’re using. This is in my topic.php:
<li><?php printf(__('Started %1$s ago by %2$s'), get_topic_start_time(), get_topic_author()) ?></li>Those are your functions. The get_topic_start_time returns a time elapsed sort of thing (i.e. “5 days ago”) rather than a date. There is probably a function to return the topic start date instead of time elapsed as well. Maybe it’s topic_time or get_topic_time or topic_start_time. All the functions are pretty reasonably named.
Clear your cookies or use another browser and see if that helps.
In reply to: advertisements after the first messageJust use a little php. What type of code are you trying to insert?
In reply to: Alpha 2 and WP 2.6.3 Integrated Install FailedYes, that’s the plan. No idea when that might be though. Some people are having success with this version. I just wasn’t one of them.
In reply to: Mass email functionOne other thing: when your IP gets banned, you might also affect other customers on the same shared server. That’s a good way to get booted off your host, affecting their other customers.
In reply to: Mass email functionMy recommendation would be to hire an email marketing service.
http://www.constantcontact.com/
http://www.verticalresponse.com/
There are so many of them. I don’t have an affiliation with any of them, but outsourcing this function is better than trying to send them all from your server IMO.
globetrotterdk: I don’t know that they normally are in the wp-config.php file. You need to pull the options from the database using this URL:
http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options.php
Search that page for “salt” and you’ll see the settings WordPress is using.
Zulan: this error says you have the path to the file wrong in your bb-config.php.

In reply to: Problem with sticky topicsI don’t know where it is in the code. Does it not appear at the bottom of the topic when you are logged in as keymaster?
In reply to: GEO targetted forum and bbPress stability_ck_ was it this one?
In reply to: Email notifications turned on by default?I hope we see the plugin soon. It would be nice for it to happen automatically, since you want it to happen for everyone. Opt-out basically, rather than having them opt-in, or you opting them in.
In reply to: Problem with sticky topicsI thought the options for sticky were like this:
[Stick topic (to front)]Where “to front” sticks it to the front page, and “Stick topic” just sticks it in its own forum. I haven’t done it in a long time so I am unsure if that is the case any more or not. If it’s already stuck, I think you have to “Unstick topic” then re-stick it to the front page.
In reply to: GEO targetted forum and bbPress stabilitySure, it’s possible with bbPress.
If you are set on modifying the bbPress core, then what I would do is download two exact copies of bbPress. Use one, then save one. You can always compare your current version to the pristine one you never touched, in the event you need to upgrade and you need to recreate your changes in the updated files.
I would say the 0.9.0.2 is pretty stable, for sure. The Alpha releases are less stable, but I haven’t had any problems with them either. I installed an old, old alpha version about 18 months ago and am still using it, but YMMV.
Maybe someone else can recommend a specific version or revision as a starting point for your project. Good luck.
In reply to: Newsletter pluginThere was also this recent discussion:
In reply to: Newsletter pluginWould there be any content at all from the forums? The reason I ask is that instead of using bbPress for the newsletter, you could just sign people up for a newsletter service like AWeber if no content is from the forum. Under 500 subscribers is $19/month.
