(As an afterthought, this ought to be in troubleshooting, but I can’t change it… sorry!)

Hello. Let me introduce myself. I am an idiot.

I installed bbPress to my server. I wanted to have user integration with my WordPress installation. Great. I ran the installation, but I knew I’d have to do a lot of things manually because of my server set up. I entered the appropriate information for the config file, and it prompted me to create the config file with certain information in it because it didn’t have permissions to do so. Exactly what I expected. I ran the rest of the setup as it should go, and when I had it commence with the installation, it said that it had installed but with some minor errors. I looked at the config file, and the keys hadn’t been saved. So I entered in the keys as they should have gone, but then I stupidly changed the blasted database prefix to the same prefix as my WordPress installation thinking for some stupid reason that I was changing the setting for WordPress integration! IDIOT! It installs again with some “minor errors,” but this time going to the address of the forum actually brought up the forum instead of the installation prompt. I mozy on over to my WordPress installation (http://ipfcubed.com– which I’ve currently set to be inaccessable to the public– you’ll see why). Now every single draft and scheduled post (as well as unapproved submissions from contributors in the community) is now visible on the main page. When I make a new post, it says the year is 1999 (EDIT: Sorry– the date is still correct, but the post’s address says that it’s 1999: http://ipfcubed.com/1999/11//. The published posts count is also off– it says I have zero published posts in the dashboard. I can see that I’ve majorly messed up the posts table. Can someone PLEASE help me fix it? Any and all suggestions are welcome! Below I’ve provided both the error message and the installation log that it gave me:

I have a deep integration of bbPress 1.0.2 and WordPress 2.8.4 at riogallinasschool.org, using a heavily modified Kakumei template.

Integration works well. I only register users from WP. Logins work from either BBP or WP. WP users appear correctly to BBP (every user can log in from both WP and BBP)..

Logout from WP is fine regardless of where the login occurred (so, no cookie problems).

However, when logging out from BBP (using the Kakumei “Log out” link), the logout occurs (so cookies are working), but I am redirected to a 404. The logout link is bb-login.php?logout=1. I have found that, on the other hand, the link bb-login.php?logout=0 (as typed in) works just fine — logs out, redirects back to page.

I have hacked a solution. I don’t understand it (I haven’t yet been able to follow the use of the GET variable logout to find where it’s value is used anywhere). But in case anyone else has this problem, here’s the hack.

The logout link is produced by the function call bb_logout_link(); in the template’s logged-in.php file.

bb_logout_link is defined in bb-includesfunctions.bb-template.php, and effectively calls bb_get_logout_link with the same arguments. In the latter function, around line 2737, the value logout=1 is hard-coded.

I have changed the code for bb_get_logout_link so (a) it defaults to logout=1 if logout is not specified in the call to bb_logout_link (thus the hack is non-destructive), but (b) the call bb_logout_link(‘logout=0’); overrides the default.

This produces the working link, so the “Log out” link works.

Here’s the code

Old line 2737 of bb-includesfunctions.bb-template.php was

$query = array( 'logout' => 1 );

I changed that to the following (which works because the args were “extract”ed, so $logout has a value from the call to bb_logout_link):

if ( $logout==NULL ) $logout = 1;  // Defaults to 'logout=1'

$query = array( 'logout' => $logout );  //  Changed '1' to '$logout'

Then in the template’s logged-in.php, I added the argument to the call to bb_logout_link:

bb_logout_link('logout=0');

It works for me.

Has anyone else has had this problem? If not, I must have broken something somewhere else — so I’d like to know.

Can anyone explain the bug, or explain where the value of logout is used? (I’ll keep looking, and will post a followup if I find it, but I’m not expert at the subtleties of apply_filters, which appears to be the only possibility.)

Thanks.

[johnhiler]

This is actually built into the core, as I understand it… users can’t post more than every ___ seconds (I think the default is 30 seconds, but I’m not sure).

You can actually increase or decrease the “throttle time” with this plugin:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-throttle-also-is-it-based-on-username-or-ip

There are a few threads on throttling on the boards!

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/throttle

[nickaster]

Thanks yeah, I looked at those threads and didn’t find anything. Recounting did nothing… yes… I think I did knock out that “pick a forum” thing…. however, I guarantee that didn’t cause the problem because I’ve been posting test posts left and right since then. Only immediately after deleting my tests did the problem kick in… hadn’t make any changes to the theme. It’s definitely theme related, as the default theme works… very strange. I’ll put that dropdown thing back and see what happens.

[InvTrdr]

How do I change the font size on the left of the Header area which says login, register, lost password etc.? Click on this link http://www.invictatrader.com/bbpress to see the header. I could not find it in the CSS unless I missed something or it was set to default in the core files. I am using the default stock theme “Kakumei”.

Thank you.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

The words are stored in a file called logged-in.php in your theme.

In Kakumei (the default), it looks like this:

<p class="login">

<?php printf(__('Welcome, %1$s'), bb_get_profile_link(bb_get_current_user_info( 'name' )));?>

<?php bb_admin_link( 'before= | ' );?>

| <?php bb_logout_link(); ?>

</p>

Using __( translates into the appropriate language, and %1$s is a placeholder that gets replaced by the user’s name

Not sure why it’s saying Welcome twice though

[Ivaylo Draganov]

I am currently attempting something similar. I have an integrated WP and bbPress but want to switch to WPMU. I’ve successfully imported the user tables through phpMyAdmin. There are three columns you need to add to the wp_users table:

display_name - varchar(250) - blank default value

spam - tinyint(2) - default value = 0

deleted - tinyint(2) - default value = 0

And in wp_usermeta table you need to do a SQL search and replace to change all values that have wp_ to wp_1_ (because the main blog in WPMU has got that table prefix)

UPDATE wp_posts SET meta_key = replace(meta_key, 'wp_','wp_1_');

I am trying to set up BBPress with WordPress so that they work together.

I have already got WordPress installed and set up. I tried to get a plugin installed to make it work with another BB, MyBB, but I had some problems installing this plug-in and so I did my best to remove it. I doubt this is what is causing my current problems, though.

I installed BBPress and when I did there were options to provide so that it would work with WordPress. But it did not seem to work.

I then installed the plug in. And I tried it briefly.

But then I noticed that I also needed to install the same plug in on the BBPress side. But now I notied that I could not go to the admin directory. When I typed the path to the admin area for BBPress it automatically went to the default BBPress root directory.

One possible issue might be the fact that I declared the keymaster on the BBPress to be the same username as the admin for WordPress. And the only password that will work when I log on to BBPress is the same password I used for WordPress. Will that be an issue.

The problem is that I ccnot go to the admin panel on the BBPress to do anything.

Please help.

Hi all!

I have a bbPress instalation at http://foro.inkframe.com

If you click the page number 2, everything fine, but, if you click in the number 1 or “Anterior”, the forum show page 2 again, like a F5. The only way for come back to the first page is clicking in the title.

I am not expert in bbPress theme development, but anyway I think that is not the problem, the only option I change, is the number of posts to 10, I am not sure, but, by default is 20. Thank you for your help

[Erik]

I’m in the middle of my first bbpress theme design and have a couple hopefully simple questions.

1) How can I change the size of the Avatar size?

2) I’m using the default themes basic layout structure and then theming my design around that. The somewhere and I can’t seem to find it there is a style that makes the odd number row a light gray and the even number rows white. I’m just looking for a way to make both of them a shade of gray but were they are still different colors. I would also like to do this to the topics and forums list on the front page of the bbpress install but haven’t figured out how make it happen dynamically and it sure looks like there is a way.

[chrishajer]

The default RSS feed for the home page includes recent posts in all forums and all topics. Do you want something different than that?

[InvTrdr]

Will try. Not too good at it yet. Am learning from the great WP and bbPress community as I go. Thought there might be a default stock theme with a navigation bar on it. Or can you guide me as to what code needs to be added in the CSS and header.php files?

Thanks.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

You changed the defaults, instead of just using different parameters when you call the function? Editing core files is really bad practice…

[Jon Dingman]

I’m trying to figure it out, is there an easy way to make sure that ALL my permalinks use the .html file extension instead of the default /profile/username and no extension at all?

Thanks!

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

In the first line of function bb_tag_heat_map:

$defaults = array( ‘smallest’ => 8, ‘largest’ => 22, ‘unit’ => ‘pt’, ‘limit’ => 40, ‘format’ => ‘flat’ );`

Line 3158 of functions.bb-template.php in my slightly outdated SVN of 1.0.2

[InvTrdr]

Is it possible to add a navigation bar to the default Kakumei theme? If so, how?

Thanks.

[InvTrdr]

Where is the default of “40” seen?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

bbPress functions have a set of default values that are overwritten by the arguments passed when it’s called, so if a value isn’t specified for something, it stays with the default.

[CraigElias]

Thanks for the help.

Sorry about that.

Try this … http://shiftselling.com/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/header.txt

I’ve decided to modify the default template – kakumei – because it’s a cleaner design and I think it will be simpler to modify so it suits my needs.

Thanks,

Craig

[chrishajer]

Yes, I meant the default theme, kakumei.

So, it’s a problem with your theme.

I created an account and posted a test topic. I don’t even see the little X next to the tag to delete it. So, how are you going about deleting tags? Normally, you get a little X next to any tag you use so you can delete your own tags.

[InvTrdr]

hey chris. I tried it on a different theme from the bbpress showcase and the tags delete function works properly. The URL is http://www.invictatrader.com/bbpress FYI. What is the stock theme? The default theme?

[InvTrdr]

I have <?php bb_tag_heat_map( 9, 38, ‘pt’, 80 ); ?> in my tag.php file. Still I can only see 40 tags max in the heat map. Am I supposed to change “80” somewhere else too? Maybe in the function? Where do I find the function below? Got it from another topic.

Thanks.

function bb_tag_heat_map( $args = ” ) {

$defaults = array( ‘smallest’ => 8, ‘largest’ => 22, ‘unit’ => ‘pt’, ‘limit’ => 45, ‘format’ => ‘flat’ );

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Try matching the code with the default theme and if you need to show more additional info then you can take a look at this too https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/unhide-profile-email-adresses

[johnhiler]

I’m not sure why this would happen, especially on the default theme.

I would recommend two things:

1) First, try disabling your plugins to see if that helps at all. If it does, enable one plugin at a time to see which plugin is causing the conflict.

2) If that doesn’t work, try this plugin?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/

I use it on all my sites, and it’s been great…

Good luck!

Hi,

I had set my post per page to 12 in the reading settings in my default Theme Kakumei Blue, and what happened was once a topic hit 13 pages, and it filled with 12 posts…your posts would not show up.

You could type it in and hit send, but nothing showed up. I would even get an email saying there was a new post, but when I clicked the link nothing showed up.

I ended up returning the setting to the default 30 posts per page and it is working again…is this the way that setting is supposed to work?

Thanks!

Scott
