I think I would do it like this:

<?php require( "$gerikg_pixopoint_path/chunk1.html" ); ?>

Then define $gerikg_pixopoint_path = '/homepages/32/d84982904/htdocs/example/wp-content/plugins/pixopoint-theme-integrator/';

If you define $gerikg_pixopoint_path in bb-config.php, I think you need to do a global $gerikg_pixopoint_path wherever you want to use the variable. There has to be a better way of doing it. [EDIT]

You can download a zip file of trunk at trac.bbpress.org – just “browser source”, navigate to trunk, then look at the bottom of that page for the download link:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2425/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

No, it doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe someone else will follow. Or maybe I need more coffee.

Maybe instead of xxxx, since the xxxx is the piece that changes, you define that in a file that is included by all files already (maybe bb-config.php or something that pixopoint includes) and then use the variable everywhere. Similar to how $bb_table_prefix is done:

$bb_pixopoint_url = 'www.examplexxxx.com';

Then use $bb_pixpoint_url in the different locations in the bbPress theme.

What exactly are you trying to do? You have two filenames there: are you trying to include a file from a different site or something? You have a filename (abc.html) but have no URL or filesystem path. Please explain what you want to do exactly.

If this is a problem with the forum at wordpress.org you would get more response reporting the error there, since the version of bbPress they use there is not a default installation by any means.

There are no private messages here, so please post a contact email so that people can contact you.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

What version of bbPress are you using?

Is it integrated with WordPress?

AND

Are you using a customized theme? If so, try the included default kakumei theme and see if the functionality works.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

Marius- I deleted your comment. Please reserve this thread for welcoming back _ck_.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

The first error is the important one: the software cannot write to bb-config.php. That could be because the file has the wrong permissions (should be 644 and writable by the web server) or it could be something to do with the one forward slash there in the path (right between bbpress and bb-config.php).

A workaround might be to manually edit the bb-config.php and then upload that. Then the installer won’t have to write to that file. Just open bb-config-sample.php and edit all the database values, keys, table prefix and language if you use one. Then, save the bb-config-sample.php as bb-config.php and run the web installer again. It should tell you it found a valid bb-config.php and you can continue. If not, post errors back here.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

I agree, it’s better than 1.0.2 right now. There are more unresolved issues in 1.0.2 than there are in 1.1-alpha. What is now 1.1-alpha will be the next release in the 1.0 series, whether it’s called 1.0.3 or 1.1. I’d say it’s pretty safe to use. If you run across bugs, please check trac.bbpress.org to see if they’re already reported, and if not, please start a new ticket.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

There has always been some overlap with functions being declared in both bbPress and WordPress. I don’t know the solution to this one.

Does the same problem happen on endurodoc.net? Installing on localhost on MAMP can be troublesome, and if you’re going to host it on the Internet anyway, it would be better to solve problems in the environment where it will ultimately reside.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

so there is no way to reply to a comment, only to the entire post thread? how does somebody quote another person to reply to them within the post?

You copy and paste into your reply and just wrap it in html <blockquote>

Replies are not threaded in bbPress. Comments *are* threaded in WordPress, if you want them.

[@chrishajer Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

The path and the URL (technically URI) are not the same. To use “require_once” it needs to be a file system path. So, your “http://www.endurodoc.net/forum/bb-load.php” would never work. You need to use a file system path there (relative or absolute.)

This is my favorite topic of all time on bbpress.org – thanks _ck_

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years ago]

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years ago]

The leading slash should not be there I don’t think

Should look like this:

require_once( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . 'bbpress/bb-load.php' );

Or maybe the full path:

require_once( '/application/MAMP/htdocs/wp2.9/bbpress/bb-load.php' );

But the leading slash means from the root, and you don’t really mean that. /application is the root, not /bbpress.

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years ago]

There is this content filter plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/webpurify/

I believe it’s a paid plugin.

There is no built in way to block by IP in bbPress. If you have access to .htaccess on your host, you can deny by IP there, but that’s a manual solution.

order allow,deny

deny from 123.45.67.89 (one IP)

deny from 012.34.5. (IP block)

allow from all

You would put that in your forum’s .htacccess file.

You could also moderate all posts:

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years ago]

Whatever file you are trying to include in line 18 of wp-config.php does not exist in that location. I would make sure the path is correct and start with that one error.

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years ago]

In the database, there are values stored for where the wp_users table resides (database host, database name, database password, database username). They’re in bb_meta as bb_options. That might be causing your problem.

Q1 – the blank page is likely a 500 Internal Server Error. If you are not displaying errors on screen, then you will need to see the php or apache error log to find out what that is.

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years ago]

Wow, Trent stopped in too. Hi Trent

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years ago]

To make bbPress look like your WordPress site, you need to create a bbPress theme to mimic the look and functionality of your WordPress theme. Widgets are not currently part of bbPress.

What does the topic title “monetize” have to do with any of this?

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years ago]

my-templates is where you put any templates that you add. Chances are the permissions are 750 instead of 755. They were being created with the wrong permissions for a while but that issue is fixed in trunk now. Check the permissions with a shell or FTP program and make the directory permissions 755 and it will work.

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years ago]

Hi _ck_

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years ago]

Ah yeah, good point. I saw the #wcsf code sprint, but figured it was WordPress only. I saw in Matt’s state of the Word that he was sort of burned out on bbPress. Nice to see someone interested in it again.
