PHP Version 5.1.2

Yes, I have the ability to use .htaccess. Though I don’t no much about its parameters. I’ve used it for 301 redirects and that’s about it. Help with writing anything for the .htaccess would be greatly appreciated.

One bit, I have WordPress on the same server using the same database (bbPress is integrated) and this is NOT an issue in WP – only in bbPress.

[Trent Adams]

Even if that is a mySQL restriction on the number of entries, I am more than 100% sure there are ways around it. If you need help believing that, just watch what happens when wordpress.org or wordpress.com go over 1,000,000 posts ! ! !

PS Brad, you are still linking your old site in your profile.

Thanks jaim3. I can’t tell you how excited I am about going from a board with 86 tables to one with 8! Light and fast is what my members will appreciate. I think the simpler design will result in higher adsense revenues from my message board channels.

I have integrated bbpress to match the tech-o-crunch theme and will be releasing it to the bbpress community once I have it like I want it.

I’ll also be posting a casestudy of the bbpress adsense theory I mentioned above on my blog.

Hey Community,

I have installed and integrated both WordPress and BBpress. WordPress is working fine, and I am utilizing the integrated user plugin. Both are working from the same database.

My only issue is when I click on a forum to view from the home page of BBpress I am given a blank screen of “No input file specified.”

I did a search an came across a post by a person who received a similar result, but under different circumstances, for is error was during installation.

Any how, I am new with bbPress, so any general directions or instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Orion

Thanks for the reply. I thought the spam filtering out was most likely yahoo’s fault. I honestly don’t think any of my problems are related to bbpress, and maybe more likely my cheapo hosting!

I have another installation of bbpress on another domain and it seems to work ok.

I’m thinking of looking into linking up with wordpress as well because I have used it before and really like it. Any my forum seems to be functioning which is the main thing and I’m happy I found bbpress for it!

[SMK]

Ok Thanks

[spencerp]

Also, please note! If you’re running WordPress version 2.1 alphaX, or now it’s in Beta state, and you have the bbPress Integration plugin going on it..

find this line:

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/registration-functions.php’ );

change it to this:

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/registration.php’ );

(The devs renamed the file in the includes/ directory for 2.1)

This is probably the main cause of these errors.. Also, we’d better make sure of any other bbPress plugins using that first call to the /registration-functions.php file.. and change accordingly..

This is for 2.1 alphaX, and now 2.1-betaX users only!!

On my site, I have a file of general purpose functions in the site root called “mysite_functions.php.” I have WordPress installed in /wordpress, and bbPress installed in /wordpress/bbpress. I have altered wp_setcookie() and wp_clearcookie() in a WordPress plugin. In those two functions, I use require_once('../mysite_functions.php');, and then the function call. It works fine.

The problem comes in the bbPress plugins. I have a plugin overriding bb_login() and bb_logout(). In each of those functions I use the exact same code to call mysite_functions.php, but I get “failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [file path] [line number]”

In either case, the functions are unchanged with the exception of appending:

require_once("../mysite_functions.php");

call_my_function();

I know this post is a little over do, but I will quote Matt:

“bbPress can power a forum with hundreds of thousands of posts with just a fraction of the load as WordPress.” – Matt

[bbolman]

These are just a few things I thought might be handy for bbPress.

1. Invitations – would allow users to invite other users to the forum and maybe give them credit of some sort for the referral.

2. Cash – this is one of the really popular phpBB plugins, it gives users cash for posting, and sending messages, etc, and sets up the facility for other plugins to use the cash for their own various means.

3. Original Poster – perhaps next to the most recent poster or under the topic title, this would show the original author of the post on the forum view, instead of having to view the topic to find out. Just one thing that sort of bothered me, as sometimes I like to know who started what.

4. Subforums – I saw this somwhere, I think, but subforums would be a wonderful addition.

5. WYSIWYG post editor – I assume this is already in the works somewhere, but for folks who aren’t good with tags and what not, it’s really not userfriendly to post in bbPress. Perhaps just a copy of WordPress’s editor.

6. Custom Profile Fields – I think a plugin that allows admins to change the profile fields that are currently shown, add more, remove some, etc, would be really nice.

So…those were just some ideas I had, maybe they are not feasible or easy, but hey, at least maybe I got the gears rolling.

[Trent Adams]

This would have to work based on what is in the bbPress-Post plugin that creates threads in bbPress for every post created while the plugin is activated in WP.

Nothing that does what you want, but I have a request in for turning plugin on/off inside each WP post:

UPDATE: I just wanted to fill everyone in on what I have just done..

1) I downloaded and installed the Themed Login and Registration plugin for WordPress.

2) Upload it, then activate it as normal.

OR, If you are running WordPress version 2.1-alpha3.. Before uploading and installing this plugin, open the themed-logreg.php file..

Find this line:

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/registration-functions.php’);

Change it to this:

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/registration.php’);

This is because in the 2.1-apha3 version, they just renamed some of the files in the wp-includes/ directory..

3) I made a page called: Where To

Since I have pretty permalinks on, the page’s location is here for example: domain.net/where-to/

In the Where To page’s Write Window, I added the following text/urls for example:

“If you are seeing this page, you now have the ability to access the following places with your username and password.

The <a href="wiki.yourdomain.net/">Codex</a>.

The <a href="yourdomain.net/forums/">Forums</a>.

The <a href="yourdomain.net/wp-admin/">Site Admin</a>. “

4) Under Plugins => Login Register Options =>

A) Under the: Uninstallation Options => I put check in box for: Toggle Complete Uninstall:

Under the: Redirect After Login: => I changed wp-admin/ to where-to/

If you have the normal setup for the permalinks, (for me on localhost this worked): /?page_id=11

Of course, change the actual number to your own..

C) Under the: Redirect After Logout: => I left this one at: wp-login.php

D) If you are using any other theme, then the “Gathering” theme, you might want to skip this section. And follow the directions for it, according to your theme’s layout!

Unless your sidebar call is like this.. in the index.php file:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

Still in the Login Register Options, I left everything alone from there down TILL the part for the “Template Header Files: section..

D-1) Since I’m using the “Gathering” theme, the call for the sidebar, in the theme files is right after the header call.

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

D-2) In the Template Header Files: window, I made it like this:

header.php

sidebar.php

D-3) In the Template After Header HTML: window, I made it like this:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<div id="maincontent">

D-4) In the Template Before Footer HTML: window, I made it like this:

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<!--index.php end-->

<!--include footer-->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

D-5) In the Template Footer Files: window, I made it like this: footer.php

E) Scroll down to the User Email Template: window. Since he uses variables for his stuff.. here is what I used for mine, and it works because I got the email after doing a test sign up.

Username: ##username##

Password: ##password##

You now have the ability to access any of the following locations with your username and password.

The Site Admin

##siteurl##/wp-admin/

The Forums

##siteurl##/forums/

The Codex

http://yourwiki.yourdomain.net

Please note: Of course… change the The Codex and Forums urls to whatever your’s is.. example: ##siteurl##/my-forums-folder-name/

And for Codex/Wiki: http://yourdomain.net/yourwiki or whatever..

Then I click the Update Options button..

F) In my Theme’s CSS File, I added the following CSS Style references:

#login {margin:0 auto 0 auto;width:250px;}

#login ul {margin:0;padding:0;}

#login ul li {display:inline;margin-left:10px;}

Everything seems to be working just fine! I hope this helps others..

http://spencerp.net/wp-login.php

http://spencerp.net/wp-register.php

After logging in, you should be taken to this page then:

http://spencerp.net/where-to/

Which of course.. can still be seen by everyone, either way. (But it’s not really made public either, because I don’t have the page itself, listed in the header nav bar, and sidebar nav section.)

However.. it’s not going to do much good to them, because if they aren’t registered and stuff.. they can’t access my blog’s wp-admin, forums or codex.. lmao!

Anyway, I just did TWO test signups.. and was able to login to my Codex, Forums, and the Blog’s wp-admin control panel.. whee!!

I’ve started a little website where I’m going to try to keep track of new templates and plugins until there comes a really reliable bbpress plugins location. You can find it at proforum.wordpress.com, if you are a template or plugin author and would like your work featured (or not) let me know.

[spencerp]

You’re welcome Nate. And hopefully soon here.. I’ll have my wiki ready, and going the way I want it lol. Then, once I’m done, or as I go along.. I’ll write up what I did ..

Hopefully someone else in need of same thing, latter down the road.. finds this post useful and I hope it helps them..

[Nate]

My thanks as well, Spencer. I’m watching what you put together with great interest, and your ongoing explanations are most helpful. Many others will surely benefit from your struggles.

[Trent Adams]

I would search both these forums and wordpress.org forums for bbPress and WP integration of themes. Personally have had 0 success with integrating using wp-blog-header.php in an include, therefore I won’t have anything useful to say. That being said, the point was more to let you know that wordpress.org support forums have suprisingly more topics of this type of integration (theme) than these forums!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Good luck Spencer! Looks like you are rolling out a great package integration documentation!

Trent

[spencerp]

Nevermind! Here’s what I ended up doing..

1) Edited the MediaWiki:Sidebar by adding in my own custom Register link, pointing to the Blog’s register page.

2) Edited some of the MediaWiki: (Logouttext, Createaccount, some Login”whatever files”, Nologin, Notloggedin, and maybe a few others) files – Removing all the “create account” references. So the “Login / Create Account” link was chopped down to just “Login”.. same goes for the one found on the actual login page.. (Well.. as far as I know I got all them “Create Account” references lmao!

3) Replaced those “create account” words/calls with custom text saying “Please click on the register link in the sidebar. Once you’ve created an account through my blog’s register page, you’ll get an email with the details. Once registered, your username and password will allow you to login on the Codex.”

4) Also, had added that little “hack” to hide the [Edit] link on the pages and stuff, if not logged in.. I had done this before even doing the above.. so.. as far as I know, I’m good to go for the Codex..

I’ll just have customize the email that comes from the blog after they register there, and the same for the forums.. I guess this is all I need, right people? If there’s more.. please tell me.. whee!

spencerp

/Next on the “To-Do” list is implementing my blog’s theme around the Codex.. Wish me luck! …whee!

[Mistainu]

my bbpress is integrated with my wordpress. the 2 required plugins, and adding

<require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');

in my config file so i could use my wordpress theme as my bbpress template. ok, so everything was file. now i tested it’s functions.

i tried to make a test topic as sticky. apparently i can’t use sticky as long as the above code (require once etc) was in the config. i removed it and i could do as normal.

so now i ask: i wnat to keep my wordpress theme as the bbpress template, unless i use that line i can’t… that line is not allowing me to sticky/unsticky. anyway this was the error msg i got.

Warning: main(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gray/domains/unlimitedinfinity.com/public_html/forums/config.php on line 57

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/gray/domains/unlimitedinfinity.com/public_html/forums/config.php on line 57

Edit: another error, seems i can’t access my ./bb-admin/ when the above integration is active.

[chrishajer]

Does it make sense that it would have the wrong information? I am trying to understand that.

Never noticed at the wordpress forums. Weird.

I just checked here and in my profile, every thread I started says “No replies” after it, and that’s not accurate. Seems like it’s wrong? Why show “No replies” when there are replies? Why not just not show anything at all? Better no info than inaccurate info.

[Trent Adams]

It has the same action even on this forum as well as wordpress.org forums. Not sure if it is meant to be that way or not….

Trent

[spencerp]

Oh ok, thanks a million Trent. By the way, I also dropped a thread off over here on the MWUSERS forum.. 15 views, no replies there lol.

Oh well, maybe someone will then. Also, Trent.. how would I go about changing the “Create New” account link in the MediaWiki .. to point to either my Forum’s or Blog’s registration page?

Shoot, which one should I use though? I’m guessing the Blog’s registration page right? And even point my forum’s register link to the blog? Might be the best way of doing it.. What you all think?

spencerp

/*cough* I wish ya were on GTalk again lmao, would be a helleva a lot easier to talk me through this crap LoL!!..
