Click advanced settings and check if the host name there (default: localhost) is correct.

well I don’t seee anything double on your profile page, but my test forum I linked above still shows double stuff. I tried the default theme, same problem, then I disabled the only plugin that was active adn the problem still persiststs…

besides that, there are only 2 test posts there made by me as key master and every now and then, it shows my user as inactive, if I do a refresh, it shows key master behind my name, go to another post and its inactive again

[chrishajer]

I see both of them twice. Since I haven’t seen that elsewhere, I am going to guess it’s something in your theme or a plugin. Try with the default theme and see if it still happens. If it does, try disabling plugins one at a time until the problem disappears.

Just testing version 1.0 before my big upgrade and notice that duplicate user email addresses are allowed to be used with no error or warning. Therefore allowing more than one account with the same email address.

Is this the default or have I done something wrong?

[toomasr]

I installed the 1.0 release today and my custom theme stopped working. It worked with the previous releases.

I tracked this down to: bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:1783 to the line if ( preg_match( ‘/^([a-z0-9_-]+)#([a-z0-9_-]+)$/i’, $theme, $_matches ) ) {

My theme name was zt2.0 meaning that the user#zt2.0 did not match and the directory BB_DEFAULT_THEME_DIR was used instead of the theme’s directory.

I just renamed my theme not to include the dot in it. I guess it would be more friendly with theme names when just to check the user# or core# prefix without limiting the chars available

Hello there,

I’m a complete newb when it comes to bbPress, so bear with me.

I’ve installed about 6 to 8 of ck’s great plugins and they’ve all worked with no issues on the latest release (think it was on July 3rd when it was released or something?) of bbPress. Now, I understand that ck has warned everyone about the possibility of the plugins not working on 1.0, but I was wondering if anyone has these working or what I might be able to do to temporarily tweak them.

All of the plugins, except for BBCode Buttons and BBPress Smilies are working. These two are not showing up in the default theme. Any suggestions on what I might’ve missed or something that I should do to see why they’re not working?

BBCode Buttons

I have the bbcode-lite plugin active and working, so it’s not an issue there. I have bbcode-buttons directly in the my-plugins directory, so seems fine there.

BBPress Smilies

I uploaded the full bb-smilies directory to the my-plugins directory and then activated it in the admin panel. But, nothing is showing in the post boxes.

So, I could use some suggestions for those of you that found some work arounds. Thank you!

MDA tried to put in code that prevented malformed image tags. Since bbPress uses raw html and not bbcode by default, it’s always something to consider. However you can run a minimal plugin to allow any and all images quite easily:

add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'allow_images_allowed_tags' );

function allow_images_allowed_tags( $tags ) {$tags['img'] = array('src' => array(), 'title' => array(), 'alt' => array()); return $tags; }

That’s all that’s needed to permit the image tag.

It appears, that the “admin” issue is also SSL related.

In admin.php:8 bb_auth is called with implied, default scheme “auth”.

However, later on in functions.bb-pluggable.php:145, the following code is encountered:

if ( is_ssl() ) {

$scheme = ‘secure_auth’;

} else {

$scheme = ‘auth’;

}

Which, given that is_ssl() returns true, will make the validation fail and user bounced out of admin page.

For now, I replaced ‘secure_auth’ with ‘auth’ in ssl branch as well, which appears to be a reasonable hack for me.

Proposed Patch for integration plugin:

function bbpress_integration_set_bb_cookies( $uri, $expire = false, $expiration = ”, $user_id = ” )

{

if ( !$uri_parsed = @parse_url( $uri ) ) {

return false;

}

$secure = false; //Default no auth

if ( force_ssl_login() || force_ssl_admin() )

{

$secure = true; //Will create secure flagged cookies

}

…

(I’m still going through my debug)

Creating a theme without a table is easy enough, just remove the tables from the theme. However the question you need to ask is “why?”.

The default phpBB3 theme ProSilver uses a table-less layout and instead use definition lists to achieve a ‘table-like’ look, but most HTML/accessibility experts consider this to be an abuse of definition lists and do not recommend it. Tables are for tabular data and most people consider things like a board index to be in fact tabular, hence tables are typically used.

[Ivaylo Draganov]

It is possible to make a theme that does not use tables. bbPress is very flexible with themes. I am not aware if there exists one though…

But it uses tables by default because the list of topics and forums is in fact tabular data. I think it has nothing to do with table-based web-design of the 90’s (if that’s your concern).

[Ryan Hellyer]

I can see why Automattic would want the gravatar service integrated directly into the software, it ensures people actually use the service.

Can’t you edit the template files to put the Gravatar instructions in there for your installation?

I think grassrootsspa is suggesting something for the core download, I don’t think this is a request for their own site as that would obviously just be a simple addition to the template files.

I think this is something which should probably be added to the default theme. Many users don’t find it obvious what a gravatar is and so go hunting for an avatar uploader, if there isn’t one then they’re bound to get confused. Adding some default text in the profile along with a link back to gravatar.com would make a lot of sense to me. It would also ensure that themers remembered to include the text in their own themes.

[Jason Giedymin]

Here is the latest integration rundown. I first lay out some helpful hints to those out there looking for them, and toward the bottom I point out something which the integration plug-in does not properly handle. That is the HTTPS secure cookie upon logging out. Depending on your setup this may cause issues. Most of the time you’ll be ok. If your like us and have added a proprietary layer of security for internal use only, you like to make sure when your secure cookies expire they expire asap and are completely gone.

I recommend maybe, just a suggestion as I’m not privy to the dev’s stream of intentions to query if ‘BB_FORCE_SSL_xxx…’ is set. This is probably a much better indication of scheme than relying on the database option only. I know your busy Sam and that wpmu integration is like the last thing on your list. However, some of the code base is already merging.

Noteables: Step #6, Step #7

But before you continue:

1.) Disable Your Cache Server (Varnish/Squid). Go straight to your webserver (Eliminate other causes.)

2.) Get Integration working on plain http first. DO NOT define any force SSL/Admin anywhere on either wpmu/wp/bbpress.

3.) Go back and integrate if you can’t get #2 done. Some helpful hints that work:

3a.) Install wp/wpmu

3b.) Install bbpress

3c.) Install integration plugin for wp. In the option where it says complete URL, that means “http://mysite.com” and not “mysite.com”. If your _only_ (meaning 100% of the time) ever going to use HTTPS then go ahead and define HTTPS.

3d.) I made sure all key/salts were setup in wp first, and then mirrored them into bb-config prepending BB_ in front of each Define. I defined manually: AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY, AUTH_SALT, LOGGED_IN_SALT, AND SECURE_AUTH_SALT (7 in total defines).

Once you have HTTP squared away Proceed with SSL:

4.) The integration plugin will try do some things for you in the backend, it will actually try to do all the cookie work for you. However it works off values you set via the integration option page and your wpmu site options.

To take control of a few options, go ahead and define MANUALLY the following: (just as the plug-in suggests and more sometimes):

COOKIEHASH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, SITECOOKIEPATH, and COOKIEPATH.

5.) Add to wp-config.php:

define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true);

define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);

6.) Add to bb-config.php:

define(‘BB_FORCE_SSL_USER_FORMS’, true);

define(‘BB_FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);

7.) The kicker for me since I’m using MU Subdomains, i HAD to put into my bb-config:

$bb->cookiedomain=’.mydomain.com’ //Yes, with the dot before the domain.

(This is literally the only direct access object config I set in my PHP file. All the rest is handled by ‘DEFINE’ )

Up to this point you should have integration with HTTP and HTTPS. Back and forth, forth and back, every which way. You should have it done without any manual speed up accessors. If it works, go ahead and add them but make sure you set them correctly. If your fanatical about security then cross the line, otherwise go get a beer, woman or pillow whatever.

---

The Line

---

8.) Log into BBpress. Goto your main blog, and wp will see you have a ‘logged_in’ cookie. Will display the site_admin link. Just go ahead and click log out.

9.) Logging out will log you out, except a few cookies are left over. This is because the integration plug-in never inspects the HTTPS scheme properly. It will always look for HTTP. Test this by editing line 182 in the plugin file to read:

$secure = true; //Don’t forget to change me back to false (default).

10.) Repeat, and you’ll notice your cookies (the ones which matter) get blown away.

Notes:

– If you install WPMU 2.8 Alpha/Beta/Etc… you must _NOT_ enable

define( ‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1 )

as the plugin suggests.

– I DID NOT use any of the “speed up” manual configs which the bbpress integration tool points out. If you can’t get it working without these settings, adding them may not help at all and masks your real issue which is some other settings are screwed.

– you NEED to make sure your URLs are correct. That means every single URL defined in your database in any meta table, options etc… Especially the case with the integration plugin.

Dang, it must be the theme. (can delete tags via the default Kakumei 1.0).

I guess this means this theme uses AJAX for tag deletion (I am a BBPress newbie, don’t know where to look to know for sure).

Any suggestions for a work around without having to switch themes? Here it is:

Theme Name: blank 2 column Right Sidebar

Theme URI: http://refueled.net/blank-themes/

Description: A blank bbPress theme. Matching WordPress themes available.

Version: 1.0

Author: refueled

Author URI: http://refueled.net

[Sam Bauers]

Does this happen on the default theme?

If it works there, is the tag deletion in your template attempted via AJAX?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Theming is not coding. Well, it’s HTMLing, which isn’t really coding.

See: https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

All you have to really do with your new theme is a style.css (in which all you have to do is specify the name of your theme etc) and the header.php (where all you need is to add the header you want). The rest of the files will be pulled from bbPress’ default theme, Kakumei.

[citizenkeith]

Just woke up to find my database screwed up again.

The “upgrade the database” message came right up in the admin panel again. The template that I was using was switched to the default. Some plugins were deactivated while others that I had switched off were activated. Incidentally, every time this happens, the exact same plugins are activated/deactivated.

What would cause that??

[bobbyh]

topic_tags() will invoke the topic-tags.php file in your template (or if that file doesn’t exist in your template, in the default template).

At the bottom of the code in that template, there is a tag_form(); invocation. To not have the form appear, you could try invoking the rest of the code on that page (without that tag_form invocation).

The “delete tag” link will appear as long as you are logged in as an admin. It won’t appear to most users when you’re not logged in. So you shouldn’t worry about that appearing.

Hi all!

I’m upgrading a plugin to use the administration menus, rather than editing within the plugin itself. I have used admin functions before (such as add_action), but for the life of me I can’t figure out why I’m having problems adding it this time around.

Basically, on activation of the following plugin I get a “this plugin has caused a fatal error” (but it is activated), and on deactivation I get “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/britain/public_html/forum/bb-plugins/top-posters-code.php:32) in /home/britain/public_html/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 232”.

Here is the code

<?php

/*

*/



add_action('bb_admin-header.php', 'show_top_posters_admin_page_default');

add_action('bb_admin_menu_generator', 'show_top_posters_add_admin_page');



function show_top_posters_add_admin_page() {

bb_admin_add_submenu(__('Show Top Posters'), 'use_keys', 'show_top_posters_admin_page');

echo "test";

}



function show_top_posters_admin_page() {

}



function show_top_poster_text() {

}



?>

Any suggestions?

Hi Johnhiler. I tried disabling the GZip plugin, but I can see the slowdown in page loading. It’s not terrible, but it’s almost instant using GZip, so I’d rather keep it running. I guess my hoster doesn’t compress pages by default. I’ll ask them though.

I put $bb->load_options = true; into my bb-config.php, but I can’t see any difference. Probably too small for a eyes and a brain to spot.

[crimsonmai]

They are named header.php and footer.php in the Kakumei directory

Just make sure you’re looking at the default Kakumei directory and not, for example, the alternate blue one.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Mad idea.

Convert it to phpBB2 (NOT 3!) – http://forum.yetanotherforum.net/default.aspx?g=posts&t=782

Convert phpBB to bbPress – http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/

See also: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/import-smf-to-bbpress

If you read the SMF to bbPress thread you’ll see what machinations were needed. Good luck!

3 days that I’m trying to find a solution and finaly it works ! (WordPress 2.8 + bbPress 1.0 rc3).

My solution, for a WordPress in the root and bbPress in a folder:

1) I don’t use the bbPress integration plugin for WordPress

2) Default wp-config and bb-config

3) Simply put AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY in the two config file (and double check that it’s the same)

4) Go to good ol phpMyAdmin and check that:

in bb_meta: in wp_options:

bb_auth_salt = auth_salt

bb_logged_in_salt = logged_in_salt

bb_nonce_salt = nonce_salt

WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL) are both set to http://iphonecustoms.com.

I fixed the “Leave a Comment” links that were linking to my forum by changing the settings in Settings>Permalinks to “default”. (It had been set to iphonecustoms.com/forums/ somehow.)

So the comments on my homepage actually work now… however on all my other pages, my “Leave a comment” links are still not doing anything. The comment links came built in with my “Black Splat” theme, and I tried to replace comment.php from original theme and still nothing happened.
