Check out what we do with slugs in bb-includes/functions.php in the bb_new_topic() function…
In fact, why aren’t you just using that function in that plugin???
I’ve just written a fix, I’ll add a ticket for it.
Edit: ticket added with patch…
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/638
fel64: I kind of knew this was going to be an issue, but never addressed it. I figured people would work out what to do (as you have). I guess it’s worth a ticket, if you add the ticket to the bbpress trac, I’ll patch it.
Just uploaded a new version to address this. Go get version 0.1.2 and try again.
It has to be the wp user table that is causing problems. You also need to specify the new wp user_meta table in your bb config I believe.
The meta table is where the user capabilities are stored I think
> Im beginning to think bbpress did something to my user tables.
That seems kind of unlikely, but I wouldn’t rule it out. There may be something more fundamentally wrong with your setup, but I couldn’t say exactly what.
No joke, have you tried a different server?
No idea…
I honestly don’t know enough about how bozoing and/or wordpress integration works to help you.
Few people would be running WordPress mu either.
But a new install + new database….. are you still using the old user tables? Does a standalone install not work either? Have you tried different browsers?
Doesn’t a plugin that does that exist?
The SQL error indicates that this is a problem with a plugin, the bb_online table is part of the simple-onlinelist plugin. De-activate or remove it and see if the problem is still there.
> Is the ‘forum’ the “forum” I want to remove?
No. It’s a little more complicated than that. In fact, that part you say needs to be hacked, needs to be left completely alone. Really, you are asking for a world of pain by attempting this. It took me hours to write and test the slugs support. Seriously, just rename your forum directory – it’s not worth the hours you will spend.
By default, the alphanumeric code is an md5 hash of the bb_table_prefix that is set in config.php
For default installs this effectively makes the cookie names:
'bb_user_' . md5('bb_')
'bb_pass_' . md5('bb_')
You can override the name of the cookie by setting values for the following somewhere in config.php:
$bb->usercookie = 'my_great_user_cookie_name'
$bb->passcookie = 'my_great_pass_cookie_name'
Then provided that your website is in the same domain as your forum, you should have no trouble reading these cookies using your own code.
On the front page and in the forum pages the list of topics is ordered by the most recent activity, from the most recent to the least recent activity.
You would have to write a plugin or edit the core files to change this.
http://open.omnium.net.au/forum
Running version 1.0 alpha build789
- Sub-forums patch
- Page links plugin
- Restrict registration plugin
- Support forum plugin
You would have to change the topic’s creation date in the forum, there is no way to do this via the installation.
Without core hacks or writing your own plugin that hooks into the get_forum_link function and the bb_repermalink function it’s not possible. Your .htaccess file may be correct, but the links generated on the forum won’t work without changing the what those functions expect. I suggest you change the name of the subdirectory you are placing your forums in – that would be the path of least resistance..
There was a new post since you reported the problem, maybe that affected it.
Your forum seems to have corrected itself.
That topic no longer shows up in the untagged view on your site.

I accidentally left a print_r() command in the first upload of the patch. Check line 64 of db-mysli.php, if it has print_r($server); on it, just remove that line completely.
print_r() forces output, which may explain the errors. Sorry about that.
By the looks of things, mysqli_connect doesn’t support the “hostname:port” syntax on remote mysql servers (i.e. other than localhost), but mysql_connect does…
I’ve reported this as a bug and submitted a patch here:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/627
Please be more specific, what does or doesn’t work? Do the restricted domains show up in the registration form? What version of bbPress are you using. What other plugins. Etc, etc.
Comment out this line in the plugin to get page 1 showing.
unset($links[0]);
That’s line 82 in version 1.0.2
