I have BP 1.0.2 and WPMU 2.8.4 with deep integration (I call wp-blog-header.php in ‘bb-config.php’).

All of the forum RSS feeds work, except the top level feed of all new posts across the forum: <site URL>/<forum name>/rss/

This is true for FF, IE and Safari.

In IE, I see the error:

Invalid xml declaration.

Line: 13 Character: 3



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Viewing the source, it looks like WPMU is inserting an XML header above the bbPress XML header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- generator="WordPress/2.8.4" -->

<rss version="0.92">

<channel>

<title>[SITE NAME] » Page not found</title>

</rss>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!-- generator="bbPress/1.0.2" -->



ETC...

Does anyone else have this issue.

I have repo’d something very similar on a previous version of the site that is using WPMU 2.2.

For images you might want to try https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/

As for the html I’m not sure I understand your question.

Plain html should work

<img src="http://image-location.jpeg" />

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Yeah that looks like WordPress is attempting to handle the RSS as well as bbPress, so it’s definitely a deep integration issue. I’m not sure how to detangle that, but hopefully someone else can or I’ll try and have a look tomorrow.

[QuickD]

How do you link to html link in the forum post and display photos. Is there a plugin for that? I have latest version of bbpress.

[Greg]

@kawauso, that line in the error is the source on line 13: “<?xml version=”1.0″?><!– generator=”bbPress” –>”

I should have looked at the source though. It seems that the xml has two headers. Could this be related to deep integration?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- generator="WordPress/2.8.4" -->

Ok, I got it! Or close to that…

I happen to have this patch on my system

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/updated-to-desmond-but-theme-not-working#post-4254

As I disable that, the magic is done and rss comes back to life!

While I cannot say “what” is wrong with such a patch, I’m happy to confirm that just eliminating it does the trick. In case anybody else has the same issue…

Thanks for the kind help to everybody, with a special thank to kawauso

[Greg]

Not sure whether this is the same issue, but thought I’d post it here just in case. Before and after the above patch, I get exactly the same result. All of the RSS feeds display correctly, except the feed for all posts across the forums, that is, “<forum URL>/rss/”, which displays a blank page.

This is true for Firefox and IE7. On the problem page, IE gives the message “feed code error”, with the following details:

Invalid xml declaration.

Line: 13 Character: 3



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

[update] One difference between before and after the patch is the IE error. *Before* the patch it says:

Invalid xml declaration.

Line: 13 Character: 3



<?xml version="1.0"?><!-- generator="bbPress" -->

One interesting thing: if I browse to “<forum URL>/rss.php” (note the php extension I added), then the top level feed displays fine.

Here are the details of the pages I browsed and the results. All well, except for the top level feed.

<forum URL>/rss/ [blank page] – this is the published feed

<forum URL>/rss [blank page]

<forum URL>/rss/topic/<topic name> [correct feed displays]

<forum URL>/rss/forum/<forum name> [correct feed displays]

<forum URL>/rss/forum/<forum name>/topics [correct feed displays]

But…

<forum URL>/rss.php [correct feed displays]

Hi

Has anyone used the bbPM system that was developed by Nightgunner?

If not can you suggest another one?

I need a PM system where users can interact with one another to send PMs and also attachments like photos.

I haven’t tried BBpress before…the other solution is phpbb3 and that has a good one but it is a lot of work to install it.

Thanks

[pixelgirl]

I guessed I’ll have to do that, but I have no idea which files I need to edit. The bbpress header file looks so much different from the wp file. It works somehow on the buddypress page. I want the same for me

Another option might be, that I just work on the existing bbpress theme and try to adjust the design as good as possible. I’d be happy to be able to load my buddypress navigation at least, the rest can be done with using the local css files. Other good ideas are welcome.

For those who need it, the latvian translation of bbPress: http://senteevs.lv/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/bbPress_lv_102.zip

[yutt]

I am not certain, but I imagine you will need to modify the bbpress and WordPress templates to match the BuddyPress theme.

The slider won’t open for me.

Firebug states:

$("#open") is undefined

anonymous()								slide.js (line 4)

anonymous()								jquery-1....2.min.js (line 19)

anonymous([function(), function()], function(), Object name=F)		jquery-1....2.min.js (line 12)

[Break on this error] $("#open").click(function(){n			slide.js (line 4)

The forum url is http://rainrider.eu/bbpress if you would like to take a look

[Arthur]

This method is supported by bbPress 1.0 and WordPress 2.8?

[Senteevs]

Get this file: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/1.0.2/bbpress.pot

Open it with PoEdit: http://www.poedit.net/download.php

Find the strings you need to change, for example, “Location” and translate them to what you need. Save the changes as a .po file (it will also create a .mo file). Copy both files to your bbpress directory into a folder called “my-languages”. If you don’t have such a folder, create it.

Change your bb-config.php file and you’re done.

I’ve found running SABRE with stealth mode on in WordPress stops 100% of our bot registrations and I just point bbPress at that. If you disable registration with either .htaccess or changing the function, it’ll put a complete stop to any registrations on the bbPress side, so you shouldn’t need any spam protection besides that unless you let unregistered users post. bbPress comes with Askimet installed anyway though.

[Olaf Lederer]

@dragunoff, upgrade to the latest bbpress version

[Olaf Lederer]

There are several topic about custom fields, try a search and check this one:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields

[Olaf Lederer]

or try some other free hosting with php/mysql enabled

[PeterVk2]

Setting up a forum for a university discussion course and can’t seem to find where to set up custom registration fields. For instance, I’d much rather have students’ student number and course number than their website and location. Where is the template file to change this? Or do I have to go into the core files? (I have a limited amount of experience with WordPress and none with bbPress.)

Cheers.

[pixelgirl]

Registrations are enabled via my wpmu for now, but this will be disabled after I launch the site. You won’t get 100% security of course, but at least it would decrease unwanted user registrations. I’ll check some bbpress plugins due to spam protection.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

@pixelgirl Give me your forums’ link and I’ll see if I can register ;P you might still get spambots if they work out how to spam bbPress forums. Brutally brutal way would be to change $_POST && 'post' == strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) in register.php in bbPress’ base directory to false, which would turn off processing for any data passed to the register page.

[pixelgirl]

I closed the registrations the brutal way. I removed all <form></form> in register.php and added a message instead. Quick and dirty, but effective since I’m using bbpress with wpmu+buddypress, so users don’t need to register in the forums.

Hello.

I’ve just finished translating bbPress 1.0.2 into Latvian. Everything is fine, although it bothers me quite a bit that the installation is still in English.

Is there a way to change this so that also the installation process is in Latvian?

Thanks

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I guess you mean you have WordPress.com blog then, as opposed to one on a server? You could try something like what’s being offered here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/free-hosting-for-bbpress

[villazadi]
