we are accessing bbpress from our internal application. we pass it the username and password via url. We want it to logout the first time we go in and then once it finds the user , not logout any more . any ideas? if I put bb_logout as soon as it goes into the auth, it logs out on every page.

I had bbPress installed in a folder on my shared hosting account. I have removed the folder so I can re-install it. But when I go to create a Sitemap in my shared hosting account, I still see the bbPress URLs in it. Where are bbPress URLs stored? Any other place besides the folder in which bbPress was installed?

Thank you.

Sorry, you probably misunderstood me: I was trying to say that your URIs http://car-n-car.com/forums/forums/first-forum are different from mines http://my-host.com/my-forum-name/forum/my-first-forum-name not because you chose forums while I chose my-forum-name, of course, but because appended to the forum path I have the word forum while you have forums. That’s not a detail!

As I said here, it seems that my forum (with just name based permalinks on, no plugins) would look like /my-forum-name/forums/my-first-forum-name too, but in the end it does not! It looks like /my-forum-name/forum/my-first-forum-name, exactly the same as the bbPress forums we are posting on.

In this very moment your forum URIs look exactly as they should, but they are not working correctly: I’m pretty sure the reason is you did not update nicer-htaccess forum path before activating the plugin.

Please let me know if this is the problem, in the meanwhile I will update Nicer Permalinks plugin page specifying everyone has to do this before activating it.

I want the post form on every page of the topic. How do I do this. Having it not be on every page breaks the Easy Mentions plugin by way of preventing the ‘Reply’ link to be done correctly.

@ mr_pelle… what do you mean about standard structure?

I think sensible people use the word “forum+s” rather then forum… like

https://bbpress.org/forums

forums.cnet.com/

http://forums.myspace.com/

and what you think… if someone use the word boards for discussion or and want to use the word community?

http://www.example.com/boards

http://www.example.com/community

then your plugin will useful for us?

second.. I’ve tried your plugin with the word forum but your plugin did not work… and it did not remove the additional word of “forum” from the permalinks…

can u explain what should I do?

or can you give me your contact detail here so that we can work fast on this issue?

I hope you’ll help me..

Thanks,

cNc

Arguments, stuff you want to do with the function. It’s used all over wordpress/bbpress.

Looked it up in a PHPXref and found that ‘exclude=7,8’ should work, try removing the $page and see what happens.

[Xevo]

Awesome just what I need, have my bbpress integrated into wordpress + buddypress, so would like to test it for you. Could you send it to me?

@ wlanguide

Wordpress 3.0 beta is out already. Working on that release.

Thanks for the help guys, just installed it on a clean install and followed all the steps in the tutorial mentioned above made it a succes. Setting topic to solved.

[wlanguide]

So, wordpress 3.0 is to be released? Good news!!

[mr_pelle]

@zaerl: thank you!!

@cNc: my plugin is not working for you because your forum presents a different structure from the one I’ve always seen in bbPress, aka /bbpress-path/forum/forum-name (i.e. without “s” on “forum”). What version of bbPress are you using? I may rewrite my plugin to make it work even with your forum, though I think it would be better for you to get to standard structure and then activate Nicer Permalinks.

@ Gautam

Will try that tutorial and follow it to the letter with a clean install later.

@ GerikG

First thing I tried, no luck.

@ Kevin Muldoon

My downloaded zip file only contained bb-config-sample.php. I have my folder writeable, so that not the problem either. I haven’t deinstalled buddypress yet, will try integrating bbpress with a clean install later. And to remind you, I’m trying to intergrate it with 3.0, not with 2.9.2.

If anyone else has a solution, please let me know.

[evilgeek23]

Most of the good plugins aren’t working with bbpress 1.0.2 . What should i do ? Even basic things like signatures arent available on my forum . Sad

Highlighting the current forum tab

Hi all,

I’ve 3 issues regarding my car forums i.e. ( http://car-n-car.com/forums)….

1. Page title:

it happened after deep integration…. the title of the page which usually show in the browser’s window and Google search has been broken.. now there is just a link besides title words,

I’m sending you its screen shot for better understanding..

here is its screenshot regarding title issue

a) http://car-n-car.com/forums/page-title.jpg

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

2. Page Not Found:

when i select 1st option from permalinks i.e. http://car-n-car.com/forums/forums.php?id=1 then it work fine but its not good for seo .. that’s why i need 3rd option which is name based permalinks.. so when i select 3rd option then content goes hide and message apear regarding page not found.

here is its screenshot for better understanding :

b) http://car-n-car.com/forums/page-not-found.jpg

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

2. Permalinks Problem:

my name based permalinks structure is like that

http://car-n-car.com/forums/forums/first-forum

means the word of forums is repeated 2 times, so i want to remove this one word ( forums ) from name based permalinks.. i think it creates all trouble for me and drive me crazy…

here is its screenshot

http://car-n-car.com/forums/car-permalinks.jpg

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

here is my .htacess file structure

http://car-n-car.com/forums/htaccess.txt

I have installed bbpress and changed all of the links, etc. in the bbpress admin. I added “bbPress Forum List” and “bbPress latest topics” to my widgets BUT when I drag either the bbPress List or the bbPress Latest widgets to the sidebar, they show on the sidebar until view the site. Then (1) the forums/topics do not show up on the site and (2) when I go back to the Widgets page the bbPress widgets that I had previously drug onto the sidebar are gone! IOW, they don’t “stick” to the sidebar.

??????????????

TIA

[gerikg]

I found this: http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/ is that helpful in finding an answer?

[jurasiks]

Better to tell novies how you make description of each topic with characters limit.

Good article for wiki.

Actually its same hosting company, EU datacenter rather than US west datacenter. I was being a little vague as to the hosting company, 5 hops on a tracert rather than 18+, much more responsive.

I have got it to connect to the db by editing the bb_meta table, values for user_bbdb_name, user_bbdb_user, user_bbdb_host and user_bbdb_password, its now working to some extent, but user identifiers dont seem to be mapping correctly, so I cannot access as a logged in user on the bbpress side.

[Olaf Lederer]

Moving to a new hosting company will not say that the database connection is the same.

Check the documentation from the new provider how-to connect to your database from PHP

[gauthamns]

First of all I thank ppl behind bbPress for its easy extensibility. With little tweaks I was able to modify my forum to give it a nice look: http://geeksforgeeks.org/forum/

And was also able to customize it for my own needs: http://geeksforgeeks.org/forum/view/company-interview

I can release it as a theme if needed.

[DavyB]

I recently moved my hosting from US west hosting to European hosting. I.E. Next door rather than 1/3 way round planet on the far side of North America. I copied backups of the old databases to the new hosting.

Now I cannot get bbpress running now the old dns and hosting have been switched off.

I get error message “ERROR: Could not establish a database connection” I had wp and bb integrated and syncing. wp is working fine. I can use phpMyAdmin to read the database. BBPress will setup fine with a new database but its a bit of a pain to setup all the forums and synced topics and I’d lose the topics that were only in the bbpress forums.

Any help and advice welcomed.

[gerikg]

make sure the folder is called “my-templates” I have trouble setting permission trough Dreamweaver. I always have to go through my ftp program to do it right.

@psycheangels

Looks like some of that code could be useful. I’m not a PHP whizz though. Would you or anyone else be able to help me *rewrite* it to what I am wanting to do above?

Much appreciated.
