I have a deep integration of bbPress 1.0.2 and WordPress 2.8.4 at riogallinasschool.org, using a heavily modified Kakumei template.

Integration works well. I only register users from WP. Logins work from either BBP or WP. WP users appear correctly to BBP (every user can log in from both WP and BBP)..

Logout from WP is fine regardless of where the login occurred (so, no cookie problems).

However, when logging out from BBP (using the Kakumei “Log out” link), the logout occurs (so cookies are working), but I am redirected to a 404. The logout link is bb-login.php?logout=1. I have found that, on the other hand, the link bb-login.php?logout=0 (as typed in) works just fine — logs out, redirects back to page.

I have hacked a solution. I don’t understand it (I haven’t yet been able to follow the use of the GET variable logout to find where it’s value is used anywhere). But in case anyone else has this problem, here’s the hack.

The logout link is produced by the function call bb_logout_link(); in the template’s logged-in.php file.

bb_logout_link is defined in bb-includesfunctions.bb-template.php, and effectively calls bb_get_logout_link with the same arguments. In the latter function, around line 2737, the value logout=1 is hard-coded.

I have changed the code for bb_get_logout_link so (a) it defaults to logout=1 if logout is not specified in the call to bb_logout_link (thus the hack is non-destructive), but (b) the call bb_logout_link(‘logout=0’); overrides the default.

This produces the working link, so the “Log out” link works.

Here’s the code

Old line 2737 of bb-includesfunctions.bb-template.php was

$query = array( 'logout' => 1 );

I changed that to the following (which works because the args were “extract”ed, so $logout has a value from the call to bb_logout_link):

if ( $logout==NULL ) $logout = 1;  // Defaults to 'logout=1'

$query = array( 'logout' => $logout );  //  Changed '1' to '$logout'

Then in the template’s logged-in.php, I added the argument to the call to bb_logout_link:

bb_logout_link('logout=0');

It works for me.

Has anyone else has had this problem? If not, I must have broken something somewhere else — so I’d like to know.

Can anyone explain the bug, or explain where the value of logout is used? (I’ll keep looking, and will post a followup if I find it, but I’m not expert at the subtleties of apply_filters, which appears to be the only possibility.)

Thanks.

I am new to the forum, so I hope I posted it in the right place.

I am wanting to add a simple button-link to my WordPress Blog Post template saying something like “Discuss In Forum”. I am using WordPress-bbPress-synchronization to post Blog items to my Forum. This plugin generates a link in the most recent comment that allows you to visit the correct topic for that blog post.

I would also like to add that I do not know code, so a simplified question is this: How can I add a button to my forum for the correct topic without changing the link every time I use it? Is this something relatively easy to accomplish?

Thanks in advance for help

This is actually built into the core, as I understand it… users can’t post more than every ___ seconds (I think the default is 30 seconds, but I’m not sure).

You can actually increase or decrease the “throttle time” with this plugin:

There are a few threads on throttling on the boards!

Not that I know of. The last time someone asked, I think we came up with a javascript solution, to prevent a second click.

Have you read these threads?

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/this-topic-has-been-closed

Did you remove the “pick a forum: drop down from your theme? I recall that having an affect at one point. Otherwise, have you recounted all your topics, posts, etc, in the admin?

[chrishajer]

What is “WordPress Sync”? Can you post the URL to that please?

[chandersbs]

how did you do that

It’s looking good.

[johnhiler]

This plugin should do just that!

Hi all,

just wondering if anyone wants to help testing with a Hybrid & bbPress theme?

The wordpress end is a child theme of Hybrid, & bbPress end is based on Justin Tadlocks experimental bbPress theme.

I’ll fix up a few bugs tomorrow & let anyone who wants it have it in the next few days.

You can set the forum url in the wp admin & the link will get added to the page nav.

You can also set user registrations to be done by bbPress instead of WordPress, and profile links to the bbPress profile pages.

There is also an area in the bbPress admin to copy & paste your page_nav & cat_nav source, not the same as full integration, but a lot easier…

Feel free to try it out, register & post rubbish if you want.

Hi Gang, I see others have had difficult getting the installer to connect to the database. I do as well. here is my status:

1) I reviewed all my database name/user/password. confirmed against wp-config file. all good.

2) Database on same server as wordpress and bbpress install;

3) No bb-config file is created yet, so nothing to delete. There is a bb-config-sample which I have left in tact.

4) My host is Dreamhost; my wordpress blog running like a champ

5) bbpress folder installed in root directory of wordpress

Still won’t connect. Thoughts? THANK YOU

THANK YOU.

I have managed to get BBPress and WordPress Sync installed on my web site. That is, the sync plug in (the latest one) is installed and “working” (albiet not as I want it to be). There were a lot of check boxes and input involved to make the plugins (both on the BBPress side and the WordPress) work and see each other. In some of the check boxes I just clicked on them because I was unclear about what they meant.

The way I would like my WordPress to work is like this. When the user makes his comments about the blog, he is making them in the Forum. So the whole input field where he posts his responses to blogs are not there. Instead there is a link that takes him to the forum where responses are mirrored as responses to the blog.

If a user goes directly to the forum (an option I will allow). And makes a brand new discussion thread, it is not automatically posted in the blog and the responses to that post are not reflected in the blog as well.

There are lots of options on the Dashboard for setting up the plugins. Which options should I check and how do I customize the plugins such that my blog and forum behave like I want them to?

Mr. Refueled!

I started using your superbold template and am happy about its clean look. I did some modifications on it and this is how it looks on my site http://ciyak.net/

Great job and thanks again.

Sorry sorry sorry, I forgot to edit the configuration file. Thanks a lot for the new version! Looks great.

I created my-languages folder and copied it_IT language files into the folder. But no change has happened.

I was thinking about using vBulletin for this but it would be way too complicated, I’d rather have a light weight script I can hack about.

I want to create a forum split into completely seperate sections for each language (maybe 8 different ones). My first question is are sub forums allowed? I’ll presume so and continue. The main way I can think to achieve this is by using ‘parent’ forums with one for each language and then using the sub forum structure within those to create sperate forums using different language.

I also want each language to have it’s own sub domain.

I’ve never used bbPress before but I’m good with php so I’m sure I can figure something out but I’m just looking for feedback. I’m wondering if any other people know of any better solutions for achieving this..

The basic requirements are:

Different sub domain for each language

Seperate forum structure for each language

Global users for every language

Managed by same install

How can I make sure a footer stays all the way down at the bottom of a page? If you see this page http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/forum/trading-futures-and-forex-with-the-watts-system the footer is kind of halfway in the page leaving more space below it. Is it possible to push it down so it stays all the way at the bottom of a page?

Thank you.

Yes, in my case user statuses were preserved. I have done just basic testing so far but things are looking good for me and soon I’ll be doing it on the live site.

Thanks sambauers, I just filed a request – hope it will encourage someone there…

bbPress 0.9 can still be fastest if setup correctly.

I assure you I have more plugins running at once than virtually anyone.

And that webwait site is a very poor way of benchmarking things.

Your distance to each site also affects the load time

(especially since you are far overseas to continental USA).

brilliant, thanks! this is exactly what i needed.

all my users currently have ‘contributor’ status in WP (the blog that would become ‘1’) – do you know if they would retain this permission if i upgraded to MU?

i am hoping that everything would work the same way, and i’d just be adding the additional benefits that MU brings rather than changing existing permissions.

Hi just installed bbPress but i can’t acces the admin area. I’ve installed it and integrated it with a wordpress install using two different databases. Everything seemed fine after the install but i cant access the /bb-admin

[InvTrdr]

Sorry about that. I changed it to http://www.invictatrader.com/bbpress/my-templates/kakumeicopy/images/color.png thinking it was conflicting with the existing wrapper name even though I added the “1” to the new name. When I add that to the CSS it does not work and even removes the old wrapper across the top and bottom.

Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has created a successful bridge, integration, or tutorial that allow both scripts to use one user login. Even if this has been done on another helpdesk, i would like to know.

The forums didn’t let me post the link to the helpdesk.

Thank you in advance for answering my questions Smile.
