hi guys,

thanks gerikg’s instrucition,very helpful!

i followed gerikg’s instruction,but meet a problem.

on task 7 after i clicked on save changes,

i should get the code below:

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘9ff1a614da865684d07223b202d18708’ );

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.10.10.1.20’ );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpressmu/’ );

define( ‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/wordpressmu’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpressmu/’ );

but actually i lost

define( ‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/wordpressmu’ );

so when i log into bbpress then

i can log into wordpressmu automatically

but i cant log into wordpressmu admin automatically

does anybody have an idea what i have missed?

your help will be much appreciated.

thanks guys

Is this plugin still around?

Can it be used to also limit forums to specific Roles created inside WP?

[Craig Sunney]

@Gerikg

May I ask a follow on question? I involves the protection of individual forums.

From this post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-topics#post-66521 an explanation is

given on how to protect specific groups.

In that post it mentions role’s. If I have specific roles already inside my WP site other than subscriber

(which I think is member in bbPRESS), for example: Free, BRonze, Silver, Gold…can I limit specific

“Group” forums to just those roles or an aray of roles?

Hi All,

Just wanted to past on that I seem to have the wordpress plugin ‘W3 Total Cache’ working great with my deep integration version of bbPress 1.02, As long as you don’t enable the ‘Inline JS minification’ and ‘JS minify’ in the plugin the reset seem to work great and I have noticed a slight speed improvement…

My forum : http://www.diyextra.com/forum/ (have a look at the compressed source)

Anyway just thought I would pass it on….

Chris.

Hi Gautam,

Thank you, you are a 100% star ! , I really do think this is a issue that the bbPress team should look in to correcting in the next version of bbpress… This one is a spammer god send.

Thank you so much for answering I thought I was talking to myself, I hope someone else here finds this info useful to protect there forums.

Kind Regards,

Chris

File rss.php at line 182. It seems that bbPress retrieves the last 35 posts if called like /rss

if ( !$posts = bb_get_latest_posts( 35 ) )

die();

you can add a new case on top of that file but I don’t think that it’s a wise choice expecially if you have a huge forum.

@ miruru.. I’m happy that you are also interested in this issue… I was also searching the same thing.. but I’m depressed and left if..

yes you are right this issue is two year old… “but we are new on bbpress”

I know its not good to highlight someone but It was hurting …

I was interested in this post https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-list-alterations .. because the Micheal has been successful to solve this issue.. I also tried it… but i had failed.. so then I decided to contact Micheal to solve this issue… I had registered on his site ( http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation ) and ask him to solve this problem… but it was amazing that he is not interested to solve bbpress issues.. and said his forums not just for bbpress.. ( that’s why he is not accessible to his server and he was unable to show the code )…

he said he will show the code will soon when he will get his server .. so after some weeks I contacted him again becoz its had been toooo late.. huh then he said even he was not able to access his server.. and you know what happed “he deleted me from his forums ” and kick me off by saying that I was against his forum’s term and condition .. and its a “continues ignorance” to ask questions…

please don’t go there.. its my humble request to all

otherwise you’ll be depressed like me

we will be happy if someone solve this issue except “Micheal “.

your well wisher

Hi I installed bbpress on /forum on my domain, then logged in ok using the admin username and password, next I tried to integrate it with wordpress by selecting the database option, at which point i was logged out and couldnt log back in with the previous user/password combo. I also checked the database and changed the password manually from there by generating an md5 hash, still no go, any help on how to get back in?

[chrishajer]

You need to get your database connection details from your host (hostgator.) You normally need:

Database name

Database user name

Database user password

Database host

bbPress defaults to localhost for “Database host” but that’s not always true (database is not always on the same machine as the website, which means localhost here is inaccurate.)

Find those in your hosting control panel, and we can go from there.

[56alifar]

Please let me know when its available

[56alifar]

iframes is bad for your seo and if visitors come from searchengines it wil only show the iframe page and not the complete website

[capsx]

very basic plugin and uses iframes to provide access to bbPress:

Download a fresh copy of bbPress and upload it to your server. This might solve your issue.

Hi Pagal,

I have customized the permalink for bbpress, and it works fine. It’s still on the testing stage, though you can try this. The following is the modifications I have done.

Step 1:

---

Open ‘bb-admin/options-permalinks.php’

You will find a permalink options declaration. Add one more option as shown below, it will add one more option in the permalink options in the backend. You can make the custom option with a text field, in order to customize in your own way (I have done in a predefined format in order to make it simple).

$permalink_options = array(

'mod_rewrite' => array(

'title' => __( 'Permalink type' ),

'type' => 'radio',

'options' => array(

'0' => sprintf( __( '<span>None</span> %s' ), bb_get_uri( 'forum.php', array( 'id' => 1 ), BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) ),

'1' => sprintf( __( '<span>Numeric</span> %s' ), bb_get_uri( 'forum/1', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) ),

'slugs' => sprintf( __( '<span>Name based</span> %s' ), bb_get_uri( '/forum/first-forum', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) ),

'custom' => sprintf( __( '<span>Custom</span> %s' ), bb_get_uri( '/forum/%parent_slug%/%forum_slug%', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ))

)

)

);

Step 2:

---

Now we have to create the custom format of permalinks for forums and topics.

Open ‘bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php’

We have to modify two functions ‘get_forum_link’ and ‘get_topic_link’. See the changes I have done for the custom permalink option.

function get_forum_link( $forum_id = 0, $page = 1, $context = BB_URI_CONTEXT_A_HREF ) {

$forum = bb_get_forum( get_forum_id( $forum_id ) );



if (!$context || !is_integer($context)) {

$context = BB_URI_CONTEXT_A_HREF;

}



$rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' );



if ( $rewrite ) {

$page = (1 < $page) ? '/page/' . $page : '';

if ($rewrite === 'custom') {

if ($forum->forum_parent > 0) {

$parent = bb_get_forum($forum->forum_parent);

$parent_slug = $parent->forum_slug;

$custom_link = $parent_slug . '/' . $forum->forum_slug;

} else {

$custom_link = $forum->forum_slug;

}

$link = bb_get_uri('forum/' . $custom_link . $page, null, $context);

} else {

if ( $rewrite === 'slugs' ) {

$column = 'forum_slug';

} else {

$column = 'forum_id';

}

$link = bb_get_uri('forum/' . $forum->$column . $page, null, $context);

}

} else {

$query = array(

'id' => $forum->forum_id,

'page' => (1 < $page) ? $page : false

);

$link = bb_get_uri('forum.php', $query, $context);

}



return apply_filters( 'get_forum_link', $link, $forum->forum_id, $context );

}



function get_topic_link( $id = 0, $page = 1, $context = BB_URI_CONTEXT_A_HREF ) {

$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $id ) );

if (!$context || !is_integer($context)) {

$context = BB_URI_CONTEXT_A_HREF;

}



$args = array();



$rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' );

if ( $rewrite ) {

$page = (1 < $page) ? '/page/' . $page : '';

if ($rewrite === 'custom') {

$custom_link = '';

if ($topic->forum_id > 0) {

$forum = bb_get_forum($topic->forum_id);

if ($forum->forum_parent > 0) {

$parent = bb_get_forum($forum->forum_parent);

$custom_link = $parent->forum_slug;

}

$custom_link .= '/' . $forum->forum_slug;

}

if (!empty($custom_link)) {

$custom_link .= '/topic/' . $topic->topic_slug;

} else {

$custom_link .= 'topic/' . $topic->topic_slug;

}

$link = bb_get_uri($custom_link . $page, null, $context);

} else {

if ( $rewrite === 'slugs' ) {

$column = 'topic_slug';

} else {

$column = 'topic_id';

}

$link = bb_get_uri('topic/' . $topic->$column . $page, null, $context);

}

} else {

$page = (1 < $page) ? $page : false;

$link = bb_get_uri('topic.php', array('id' => $topic->topic_id, 'page' => $page), $context);

}



return apply_filters( 'get_topic_link', $link, $topic->topic_id, $context );

}

Step 3:

---

Now we have to define the htaccess rules.

Open ‘.htaccess’ file in bbpress root folder, and add following two lines just above the code line – RewriteRule ^topic/?$ /forums/ [R=302,L,QSA].

RewriteRule ^(.+)/topic/(.+) /forums/topic.php?id=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)/(.+) /forums/forum/$2/ [L,QSA]

Here is how my URLs looks after making these modifications:

Forum URL: mysite.com/forums/forum/en/first-forum-in-english

Topic URL: mysite.com/forums/en/first-forum-in-english/topic/the-ipad-developers-challenge

One option would be to install Hidden Forums, and designate one folder as hidden to all but admins:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

Then if you wanted to hide a particular topic, you could just move it into your private forum…

[Trekkr]

Same… I’ve tried for the last hour to get the install to work…

Everything seems to integrate fine and it says “what are you waiting for” i finish the install and it says it installed with some errors…

I’ve cleared the tables 2 times and completely deleted the database once and every time at the end of the install i get this – Oh dear! bbPress is already installed.

I did what one of the threads said, which was to add dummy data to the forum table and then it loaded the forum, but i had no access to the admin section, could not log out and could not create any new posts, it just showed the dummy forum and me as logged in and that was it… SO I’ve uninstalled the database again and will try again tomorrow I guess… Bummer, cuz i was really hoping to have a forum tied into my wordpress site…

I’m too tired to post the details now and must go to bed, but if I run into this issue again tomorrow I’ll post here again all the details…

@Arturo:

Great news! Thanks!

[gerikg]

cool thanks!

I couldn’t get the buddybar to work but I was able to have both group forums and bbpress forums.

Is that what you’re looking for?

Hi There,

I’m new to BB press and am trouble shooting a possible problem, but want to make sure I’m not banging my head against a wall here.

My question is as follows:

Is there anywhere to subscribe to an RSS feed for all of the forums, rather than having to subscribe to every forum individually?

For example, I’d like to subscribe to a feed for all the forums here: http://bbpress.org/forums/

Rather than having to subscribe to each forum individually, like here: http://bbpress.org/forums/forum/troubleshooting

Any additional info or input is greatly appreciated, thank you!

[infected]

Well… I am not very active in this forum because my english isn´t very good. But what i´ve read in the linked forum thread (Gautam) worries me a bit. For me it looks like the project going to it´s end. There´s no developement since month and Matts statement somehow reiterated this. I like bbPress very much, because there´s no forum plugin for wp which has such a performance as bbPress. Okay, i know bbPress isn´t a plugin but with the wp-integration it is really an alternative. Maybe a statement about bbPress future would be nice.

Are you on GoDaddy by any chance?
