You got it Chris!

HUGE help and about what I feared. Not slamming Pagelines, but you can see the issues on the forum you linked to above. They suggested deep integration issues, etc. only to realize they hadn’t given me the proper files to begin with. A lot of my time…poof!

Alright. I’m off. You have done more than enough and I will post such at the Pagelines forum.

The problem isn’t solved but you single-handedly zeroed in on it.

Cheers!

The problem here is that the WordPress theme is from Pagelines and the bbPress theme is too. It looks like both themes have a function called pagelines_localize() and when deep integrating, you get an error since the function name is already in use. The function name should be changed in bbPress probably, or removed (since you probably don’t need it in both places, when you are integrated.) Also, since these are paid themes from the same company, it seems like they should have already heard about this problem, but if not, should be willing to help resolve it.

Didn’t pagelines used to come around here? I remember their avatar I think.

Without being logged in, all you can see is the first post. But a search for pagelines_localize brings up that topic, with 4 voices and 11 posts. I think the support should be carried on there since it does not appear to be a problem with bbPress but with the Pagelines themes.

Will do, sir! From the WP globals.php file:

// LOCALIZE

function pagelines_localize(){

// LOCALIZATION – Needs to come after config_theme and before localized config files

define(‘TDOMAIN’, THEMENAME);

define(‘LANGUAGE_FOLDER’, TEMPLATEPATH.’/language’);

load_theme_textdomain(TDOMAIN, LANGUAGE_FOLDER );

$locale = get_locale();

$locale_file = TEMPLATEPATH . “/language/$locale.php”;

if ( is_readable( $locale_file ) )

require_once( $locale_file );

}

?>

pagelines_localize()

That’s coming from your theme. Try switching to the default WordPress theme and see if the error is still present.

I can’t download a copy of the Pagelines theme, so can you post the lines from about 50 to 65 in this file:

/wp-content/themes/iblogpro4_dev/core/globals.php

At least from line 53 to line 61, but I suspect there may be some conditional around it and need to see the whole context. If you want, you can email me that file at chrishajer [at] gmail [dot] com as well. Looks like you will need to try and declare that function only if it isn’t already declared. This would be a modification to the WordPress theme file.

But, try the default WordPress theme and see if integration works, or gives another type of error.

[pastormick]

thanks Ben L. that answers my question. May your code always be poetic

[pedagog]

Hello all

Could somebody tell me where the cookies are set in bbpress ie, which files and which lines of code if possible.

Thanks

Kevin –

That seems to have done the trick! I just did a test registration on both Firefox and Safari and both seem to have gone through successfully. Thank you for pointing out the plugin! I had been searching for some time beforehand, and I would probably still be searching without your help.

Thanks again.

[Swoods]

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I am using WordPress 3.0.1 and bbPress 1.0.2

I will look into your links now, and let you know how it works out.

Thanks again!

[Ben L.]

MobileMe does not support server-side scripting languages, so it wouldn’t work. bbPress runs using PHP and MySQL. https://bbpress.org/about/requirements/

Actually it might be this:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/zaerl-wordpress-3-integration/

with the fix for it here:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/zaerl-wordpress-3-integration/

If only we could add some documentation like an FAQ this would be alot simpler…

[kevinjohngallagher]

What version of WordPress are you using?

What version of bbPress are you using?

please

[Swoods]

Hello,

I have set up a WordPress/bbPress integration at http://www.southwoodsmagazine.com . If you click on The Grapevine Forum, you will be directed to http://www.southwoodsmagazine.com/wordpress/bbpress which is where the bbPress installation resides. I have used ThemePress (From http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/ ) to carry the header, footer, etc over from the WordPress install.

I have successfully created the forums and kept the look consistent. The problem I am running into now is with the Registration process. When the visitor clicks on “Join Now” or “Register” they are directed to the Registration page. There are two required fields, Username and Email. I have filled both out, with a valid email address in the email field, and clicked the Register button. Upon doing so, nothing seems to happen. This is in Firefox. I then tried doing the same in Safari and it returned “There was a problem with your email; please check it.” beneath the Email field.

I can’t seem to figure out what would be the cause of this error. Does anyone have any thoughts? Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Since the plugins area is a separate copy of bbPress, it’s very possible a permission didn’t get copied over.

What happens if you logout and then login from the plugin area specifically, any change?

[pedagog]

Thanks very much for the input _ck_

[kevinjohngallagher]

More of an FYI, I found some time last night and uploaded a new version:

No, bbpress itself is stateless and does not use sessions.

Topic Views is one plugin that comes to mind that adds sessions to track when the same visitor sees the same topic over and over again to prevent the count from increasing.

Other plugins that deal with a multi-page registration process may also use sessions.

[pedagog]

Does bbpress use sessions for anything? If so, what?

If it does, where are the files that the sessions are set in?

Many thanks

I know Alex popped up here once when we were mentioning Akismet, though I cant find the link, so i thoguht i’d quote this from him:

Akismet is for web spam

Akismet is not a blacklist nor a list of spammers. It takes into account all available information about each comment, and makes an individual decision based on the [forum] owner’s feedback. If you don’t want someone posting comments on your blog, just use the Spam button – Akismet will make a note of your preference and stop them from commenting on your [forum] in future (unless you subsequently use the Approve or Not Spam button).

So either it’s not happening, or its not working.

======================================================

EDIT: https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/tellyworth

Amazing how many big guns come out of the woodwork to help bbpress when Matts here…

Latest Test:

For all examples below, “require_once” represents the command line: “require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);”

At no time are errors displaying, nor are the error logs showing “internal 500 error.”

Test 1: Embedding “require_once” command line into “bb-config.php” causes blank page at forum (http://website.com/forum/) and no themes will load; including bbPress themes.

Test 2: With “require_once” command line still in “bb-config.php,” entering http://website.com/forum/index.php/ in browser FORCES any bbPress theme (no 3rd party themes) to load, BUT clicking on bbPress “admin” from within the bbPress forum (http://website.com/forum/index.php/) displays another blank page at (http://website.com/forum/bb-admin/).

Test 3: Removing “require_once” command line from “bb-config.php” file allows bbPress forum homepage to load (http://website.com/forum/) AND allows the bbPress admin page to load (http://website.com/forum/bb-admin/).

[pastormick]

I host a website through a MobileMe account, and build the website with the iWeb app on my Apple (OS 10.6.4). Is it possible to host a bbPress forum on a website built and hosted this way? If so, how? Any help would be much appreciated.

[pkr3]

Chris,

This just in…

Wasn’t able to get error log because page “wasn’t loading.” Apparently, the BLANK page in this scenario is an indication that no errors are occurring because nothing is attempting to load.

So, I forced the page (bbPress index.php) to load by entering “website/forum/index.php in the browser. Bingo, that forced a visible error. Here it is:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pagelines_localize() (previously declared in /home/content/08/123456/html/website/wp-content/themes/iblogpro4_dev/core/globals.php:53) in /home/content/08/123456/html/website/wp-content/themes/iblogpro4_dev/core/globals.php on line 61

Thoughts?

Thanks.
