Wouldn’t a simple solution be to add a captcha key when they sign up as a user? I am by no means a programmer, and really just impressed myself that I could install bbpress with my wordpress, but it seems captcha codes work pretty good.

Maybe someone can make a plug in for it?

Hi there

Is there a way to strip the author from the main rss feed? I am showing the rss feed on a related wordpress site and I get: Username on “topic name here” for each result. I want to strip the “Username on” part so I just get the topic name. Any suggestions?

[chrishajer]

Looking at the two images, you now have the correct location of wp-load.php. It’s up one level from the forum directory. But we’ve already established that. Now to see what the error actually is when you include that file.

[chrishajer]

This:

require_once('/home/content/08/123456/html/website/wp-load.php');

and this:

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

Are ultimately doing the same thing. Method 2 here is going “up” one directory. Method one here just spells out the whole path. Both are including the same file and both are giving the white screen, which means there is a 500 Internal Server Error being logged somewhere. We need to see what the error is.

The first problem was the path to the file was incorrect (with some methods.) The problem is now that you are actually including the file, it’s erroring out. We need to see that error.

Chris,

Image # 2: wp-config.php location

Thanks.

Chris,

Thanks for staying on top of this.

The answer is “No” to your first question. I can get a BLANK forum page at http://website.com/forum/ using 2 codes…

The first way you already know:

require_once(‘/home/content/08/123456/html/website/wp-load.php’);

The second way was mentioned in my 3rd post (Item #1) above:

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);

# 1. The interesting thing is, from what I can tell, the second way looks EXACTLY like the way the code is “supposed” to look as suggested by most deep integration instructions.

# 2. I will look into possible 500 Internal Server error log and I’ll gather the info (screen shots) you requested and post.

# 3. In the meantime,

“wp-config.php” location (“html” = server directory): html/website/

“bb-config.php” location (“html” = server directory): html/website/forum/

And “website forum” URL address location: http://website.com/forum/

____________

Again, appreciate your assistance whether we get this thing going, or not. We will!

ps – No, the website is not confidential, just not ready for viewing and don’t want to broadcast it; has a lot of “placeholder” stuff that I haven’t read.

[chrishajer]

Is this the first time the page has come up blank rather than showing an error? If so, I think you’re getting closer.

Method # 2 above is not correct: you need the filename to be quoted. That’s why you’re getting a parse error.

In method # 1, I think the file is actually there and including it is causing some other problem (a conflict between function names or re-declaring some function.)

If you log in with FTP and look at the directory listing, can you see the relationship between where wp-load.php is and where your forum is? Can you post a screenshot of that file listing showing the location of wp-load.php and the bbpress folder?

Also, do you have access to any error logs? The blank screen is a 500 Internal Server error, which should be logged somewhere. It would be interesting to see what the error is. It might actually show that wp-load.php is being included properly (I think it is) and then there is a conflict between functions.

[pkr3]

Chris,

OK. I will ask the host provider to look into the SSH and confirm, again, the home path.

Here are the latest attempts in bb-config.php. See anything unusual?

# 1. No errors, but forum page is blank (after removing the code, bbPress forum becomes visible again, of course).

define( ‘BB_LANG’, ” );

require_once(‘/home/content/08/123456/html/website/wp-load.php’);

?>

# 2. Here’s entered code with removed quotes. Causes error on forum page (see below).

define( ‘BB_LANG’, ” );

require_once(/home/content/08/123456/html/website/wp-load.php);

?>

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘/’ in /home/content/08/123456/html/website/bb-config.php on line 66

Thank you. Hopefully we’re narrowing it down.

[chrishajer]

It’s really a simple error of trying to include a file that is not located where you are telling bbPress it is located. Have you tried including it as explained here?

You can just hard code the full path to the file there and not worry about it unless you change hosts or directories. To prove that it works, just include it like that and I think you will find that it works once you know and use the actual path to the file.

If you’re worried about changing directories or hosts at some point, you can always use a relative path (with the ../ in front) so long as you use the right path. So far, you have not.

Do you have shell access on the host with something like SSH? If so, finding the path to the file will be easy. If not, you can still find it based on the error messages you’re getting and the structure of your site.

[chrishajer]

Regarding this error:

# 3. Here are the errors from attempt # 2 above:

Warning: require_once(/home/content/08/123456/html/website/forum/wp-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/08/123456/html/website/forum/bb-config.php on line 65

That is because the file is not located where you are saying it is located. What is the full filesystem path to the wp-load.php file?

That’s the first thing you need to resolve – how to include the file, based on where it’s located.

[pkr3]

Chris (and Ashfame),

Thanks for your thorough and prompt attempt to assist me/us.

Just so you know, there is no “0php’” line of code I entered.

Here is line 65 code EXACTLY as entered in bb-config.php, on different attempts. Only difference between the two is “/..” Nothing has been altered…I copied these lines directly from the bb-config.php file adding/changing/hiding nothing. As-In, they are direct cut and pastes.

# 1. This line (when entered) reveals BLANK forum page: require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);

# 2. This line (when entered) reveals ERROR forum page: require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-load.php’);

# 3. Here are the errors from attempt # 2 above:

Warning: require_once(/home/content/08/123456/html/website/forum/wp-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/08/123456/html/website/forum/bb-config.php on line 65

# 4. This is how the command line(s) appears exactly as entered inside the bb-config.php file. I copied it from the bb-config.php file without changing anything:

*/

define( ‘BB_LANG’, ” );

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);

?>

# 5. Random Thoughts:

a. Important: I don’t/didn’t want to combine bbPress and WordPress locations/databases so I have bbPress and WordPress on separate databases (same server). That said, I notice in the WordPress Integration “settings” (within bbPress) The “User Database table prefix” is set to “wp_”. The bbPress Help line/instructions below the field entry reads, “If your bbPress and WordPress sites share the same database, then this is the same value as $table_prefix in your WordPress wp-config.php file. It is usually wp_.”

I was instructed to enter “wp_” but am beginning to wonder if that is incorrect since the bbPress and WordPress are on separate databases. If incorrect, there are no suggestions of what line/text to enter in that field (“bb_”?). Just sharing.

b. Silly thought?: WordPress 3.0.1 came out 24 hours before my attempt to Deep Integrate, and was installed, wondering if something has changed in the WordPress 3.0.1 .php files that makes this a “new” issue; therefore requiring an updated deep integration code line. Not blaming WordPress…just sharing the experience.

Thanks a ton!

[pkr3]

Ashfame,

Thank you for the link. I/We followed it twice, and several other links/instructions prior to posting the issue. Also, the web hosting provider (a programmer) followed the instructions. The instructions seem to be accurate; we’re just trying to figure out the “hidden” issue. What is strange, is that integration IS working; i.e. “bbPress integration” plugin is installed and active in WordPress. And “WordPress Integration” plugin is installed and active in bbPress. No issues.

It’s only when we attempt DEEP integration the problem arrises. And that the web hosting provider (programmer) is getting exact same errors, on different environment, servers, etc. is not encouraging. More details in my response to Chris (following this one). I REALLY appreciate your help.

[chrishajer]

php’

That looks like php and then the characters after the “PHP” look like what happens when you paste fancy quotes from a copy of a website. Maybe the opening quotes are similar and causing similar trouble.

Your include statement should be something like:

require_once('../wp-load.php');

If your bbPress installation is in a directory one level below WordPress (i.e. the ../ goes UP one level to find wp-load.php). You can also use a full path there instead of the relative path. In that case, it would look more like:

require_once('/home/content/08/DBnumber/html/websitename/wp-load.php');

[chrishajer]

Is this really the actual file name you are trying to include:

0php’

That should say “wp-load.php” – why the strange characters there?

Warning: require_once(0php’) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/08/DBnumber/html/websitename/forum/bb-config.php on line 65

^^ This is the source of the problems, right here. bbPress cannot find whatever file you are trying to include, in whatever location you said it was in.

Can you post line 65 of bb-config.php? Is that where you include wp-load.php?

Good News: WordPress operating successfully. bbPress forum operating successfully. “Integrated” (NOT “deep” integrated) bbPress and WordPress successfully.

Bad News: 12 hours effort to “Deep Integrate” so WordPress theme can be used in bbPress, etc.

The “require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’)” command line, when executed exactly as instructed inside the “bb-config.php” file (as shown by theme company, WordPress codex, bbPress Forum and Docs) brings up errors when the forum page tries to opens. Removed the Deep Integration code and the bbPress forum page pops back up.

Facts:

1. Databases are separate; but regular integration works fine.

2. All kinds of advice to no avail (i.e. putting code at top of .php file, removing forward slash before root, etc. etc.

3. Company programmers where I host did test on different server using basic WordPress and bbPress and attained exact same results. Not a directory issue, not a database issue, not a server issue. They also tried other methods/versions of the “require_once” code but kept getting same errors.

4. WordPress and bbPress are latest versions. WordPress is the brand new 3.0.1…requires different/new “deep integration” coding?

5. Basic integration works so the database/directory addresses are correct.

I have searched the forum and internet for solutions, prior to adding this post/topic, to no avail. Blindness and insanity creeping in…probably not due to this issue.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

[Coasters Today]

I deleted the default admin account on my WordPress site after I gave another user admin access. I just found that I can’t access my plugin menu or settings in the integrated bbpress forum with that user(not deep integration). I have access to the database so is there any way to make my admin user a key-master again? If not is there any way I can get access to those menus again?

Using Wp 3.0.1 and BBp 1.0.2

[_ck_]

There are two ways to do this.

One is to use bbPress itself and make a plugin that hooks new post, and then just quickly writes the info you want into plain html file somewhere that you just use file_get_contents to insert elsewhere.

The other way is to use my bbdb tool which allows you to query any of the bbpress/wordpress databases outside of bbpress by just including one file.

I think the first way is probably much easier.

[mackeyk]

Got it, I had skipped “Adding Keys and Salts” because I thought I already did it, but after following that step it now works.

[zaerl]

This is one of the forums I admin and is the main playground for my plugins.

http://www.brigata.it/forum/ (warning, it’s in italian)

is a modified version of 1.0.2 paired with the blog at /blog/ (no deep integration.) Plugins used:

Ajaxed quote – customized

Akismet

bbPM – the amazing plugin of Ben. Customized in many ways

bbPress signatures

Bozo

Post Count Plus – wonderful work

zeal Avatar – modified version of the wonderful (I talk like Steve Jobs) bavatars

zaerl Easter – a plugin that hide some easter eggs on posts’ text

zaerl Editor – unreleased version with support to custom tags and emoticons. Obviously you can’t see it in action if you aren’t logged in

zaerl Emoticons – with code stolen from WordPress

zaerl GA – yet another Google Analytics plugin. But this is paired with zaerl Visibility and output the google js code only on those pages that a guest (search engine are guests) can see

zaerl Members Online – a modified version of _ck_ Members Online

zaerl Post Permalink – permalink in the form post/number

zaerl Random Description – random desc under main title

zaerl Spoiler – add the spoiler tag

zaerl Tags Administration – new tags and blah blah

zaerl URL Preview – unreleased new version that print server names after links, add target=”_blank”, auto-embed youtube videos, vimeo videos and Anobii book covers. No fancy bbcode or stuff like that. If a link is a youtube/vimeo/anobii link than it is transformed.

Finally what you see on the left is the output of my plugin zaerl Sidebar. It is my personal (and totally useless right now) attempt to bring WordPress-like widgets to bbPress. The “Membri online” is a widget registered by Post Count Plus and “Tag in evidenza” instead is a widget bundled with the plugin. Right now I have implemented these widgets: stats, most popular posts, text-only, hot-tags, views list, members online (Post Count Plus), Spam caught (Akismet), RSS and search.

If you are curious you can see transformations and tags in this topic: http://www.brigata.it/forum/topic/aiuto-forum

The theme is Kakumei with some CSS changes.

[zaerl]

There are a lot of avatar plugin for bbPress and maybe you can get some ispiration from them. The best is bavatars.

[a2vannoy]

Thanks for the advice. I think I’ll look into the “Add Local Avatar” plugin and see what knowledge I can take from there. I do have the avatars setup inside /avatars so that’s a good place to start. If nothing else I’ll pick up plenty of PHP along the way.

[zaerl]

Well you have the same user database so you can easily access the user email. You should write a plugin that override the gravatar display functions (through the bb_get_avatar filter) and catch the images in /avatars (if exist). Sort of “Add Local Avatar” counterpart for bbPress.

This can be challenging without medium PHP knowledges.

[a2vannoy]

@zaerl, point taken.

Yes, I am indeed using the ‘Add Local Avatar’ plugin within WP, and now that someone has been so kind to point out my loss of common sense, it’s very apparent why integrating WP via sharing cookies would have no affect on a user’s avatar which does not reside in that database.

So this leaves me with a problem, how do I get avatars from a specific directory to be recognized within bbPress relative to a user based on a shared session cookie?

I’m assuming some sort of call within my post.php file which is where the avatar will be called into action, but this is beyond my limited PHP knowledge, any advice on how to proceed forward?
