After upgrading to WP 2.8, remember to REMOVE define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); from your bb-config.php file.

Also I had to dump all my cookies and cache to get back into the bb-admin side, but for a regular user perspective, everything was hunky dory

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

Did you flush your browser cache?

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

Same way you always could.

/bb-admin/plugins.php

/bb-admin/themes.php

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

Cool. Otherwise, I don’t see any issues yet. I’ll let my users bang around and come up with something, I’m sure

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

Sam, is there any plan to fix up the admin side CSS before go-live? It’s still seriously unformatted.

Also #1076 is still open. Pretty permalinks seems to kill pagination for User Roles

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

You already have a post for this: Registration Email setup – To User along with Password

You don’t need to make multiple posts, that’s spamming

You probably don’t have email capabilities as a ‘server’ on your local machine. Have you ever installed websoftware that sends emails from localhost before?

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

I’d upgrade to 0.9.0.5 personally but you could try that too

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

What’s in your .htaccess?

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

What version of BB are you using and what versions of PHP and SQL?

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file= [L]

What’s that for? It’s the only thing I don’t recognize.

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

bbPress isn’t a plugin anyway. It’s a separate app.

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

Your htaccess is killing a /forums/ but NOT http://huddle.inversekarma.in/forums/index.php

Which takes you to http://huddle.inversekarma.in/forums/bb-admin/install.php

So … either figure out what’s in your htaccess outside of the regular wordpress stuff that might cause this, or use the index.php? Without seeing your htaccess we can’t even guess too much.

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

It’s probably a conflict with your WP htaccess settings…

If you can put forums in your main public_html folder instead? I’m not sure how well nesting the folders like you’ve done will work.

Example of my setup:

/public_html/forums

/public_html/blog

Then for a subdomain:

/public_html/SUB/blog

/public_html/SUB/forums

/public_html/SUB/gallery

etc etc etc

Simply calling plugins ‘bbPress Certified’ will make the world assume that those behind bbPress are an authority who have the power to authorise things.

I think you’re going at this the wrong way. WordPress doesn’t do this, and frankly if such an effort was to come down upon our fair bbsoftware, it would HAVE to come from the Big Brother that is Automattic if it was going to stick at all. Is it a good idea? Yeah, but it feels almost contrarywise to the tenents of open source. That may just be me, and I’ll need to re-read the GPLs for WP and BB. Either way, it does end up being a weird feeling to think that someone has review plugins. It’s going to be work, no matter what, and much like the recent themes switch (where paid themes got the boot) someone’s going to get pissed off… Meh. I like the idea, I worry about implementation.

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

Nah, it’s Akismet acting up again, I suspect. It’s been flagging a LOT of false positives. They just updated it for WP, and I bet that’s related.

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

pivari, to correct your example, what you’re asking be done is akin to ‘Bob posted a COMMENT in the wrong WP post. How do I move that?’

If a whole topic, the whole post, is in the wrong cat, just move it. If the REPLY is in the wrong POST, though, you can’t split that.

Imageshack isn’t loading for me… Is it just that one member? Do they have an abnormally long handle?

I started with a WP2.7 blog so I had no choice but to jump into 1.0 land (this was before the workarounds for .9 were found). And I regret nothing. I have few issues (one, really, but I have a trac ticket #1076 and it seems to be a user pagination vs pretty permalinks issue) and the rest… my users have never noticed.

The current admin experience on trunk is a bit wild Some work needs doing, but I like that effort is being made to mimic WP again. I have no issues with the plugins I use (very few plugins) and other than my own stupidity of developing code on a live site, I like 1.0. Will it bloat? Yeah, but since I’m headed down the path of ‘community’ site and will, in all likelihood, end up with BuddyPress one day, I’m not too worried.

On developer principle of the whole thing, I’m with _ck_ with a caveat.

If you’re a nerd who likes mucking around with code, who doesn’t mind bleeding edge, who is comfortable with blowing yourself up and cleaning up, you’ll be fine with 1.0. If you KNOW what you’re getting into (that is you’re reading and are aware of and comfortable with everyone’s troubles), then you’re fine. If you just go ‘Yeah yeah SHINY!’ then you’re in for a world of pain with any product. If you’re not a little bit of a developer, if you’re not good with google, if you’re not okay with things breaking weirdly, then stay on 0.9 and you’ll be happier. Heck, we’ll be happier cause we won’t have to help you dig out from a hole you weren’t prepared to be in

Be aware of what you’re getting into with 1.0 and have fun. Or not. Either way works

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

I think you’d have to go to the guy who actually wrote BB in this case I just ‘pluginized’ it.

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

Odd… IE 6 works fine, and it’s generally more stupid than IE 7+

What plugins? There may be a conflict.

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

URL?

I’ve see IE 6 behind a firewall be a bit tetchy about Bad-B before. You can Contact Michael about generic errors like that. I suspect it’s IE and/or your ISP.

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

I use Bad-Behavior and I feel it’s worthwhile. Mind, I routed all registration through my WP side, where I have BB and hooked up StopForumSpam.com.

Check https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-badbehavior-and-bbpress for info on BB and bb

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

You mean to pull from you bbPress database to populate the members of your mailman list?

In theory, anything that worked for WordPress to do that could be tweaked for bbPress. Just be careful that the default is to leave people NOT getting emails, so they can opt-in if they want. Otherwise you’re practically spamming

[@ipstenu Moderator 15 years, 8 months ago]

Yes, yes they can. You should NEVER have blank lines outside the wrapping <?php ... ?> (they cause all sorts of weirdness)

Good catch, magicgirl.
