On BBPress, when a user is not logged in and they click on a link that uses “?re=URL…” they are being sent directly to a 404 Error page. It works when I login to the Admin area, but not any other URL.

For example:

[Rohan Kapoor]

@tiptaptip you forums is smf not bbpress

[Rohan Kapoor]

It is very simple. I will explain to you how to do it. Use 1 WordPress MU site for the database and then integrate each bbpress with cookies and user database integration. It works fine. I’ve done it!

[Rohan Kapoor]

I thought the plan wasn’t to give it away? Such as with the buddpress.org?

[Rohan Kapoor]

I emailed you

@ipstenu: I know iframes are dangerous but it was the simplest way of getting the job done.

@everyone: thanks for your support!

A friend of mine helped me to determine this *is* being done by bbpress, most likely as some referral rule system. How do I get around this? I would like to be able to access my page from a rewritten URL.

[yutt]

Alright, now I am having *serious* issues getting Rewrite Rules to work.

I’ve done these dozens of times and they aren’t particular complicated, here is a brief example of what I am trying to do:

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^example/?$ /forum/bb-plugins/example/example.php [NC,L]

</IfModule>

Accessing ‘http://www.example.com/forum/bb-plugins/example/example.php’ directly works perfectly. Accessing from ‘http://www.example.com/example’ does a redirect to ‘http://www.example.com/forums’.

There are NO other rewrite rules active. I even disabled those from bbpress to try to track down what is happening. But some sort of 302 redirect keeps occurring. Is bbpress triggering this internally somehow?

[r-a-y]

Rohan is wrong.

It’s available at bbShowcase:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes

Look for the “bbOrg” theme.

There’s also a similar version called “The Hybrid / aka Kakumei Too”

They’re probably not updated for bbPress v1.01 though, but with a few adjustments you could probably get there.

I’m offering $10 to whoever can get this done for me.

Just send me an email

I did essentially add in the bbpress custom css to my wp theme’s css, too, so that they would really mesh up better, as well.

Log out, flush your cookies, log back in.

Did you mesh bbPress and WordPress?

[nickaster]

Hi there – has anyone tried to use the registerd users only plugin with wordpress and bbpress running together? I found that it works great for wordpress but skunks all access to bbpress. Anyone get around this?

Thanks!

[grassrootspa]

Anyone have any idea how one would be able to ‘bridge’ the user database of multiple bbPress sites?

Example:

1) Someone signs up to post on bbPress site 1.

2) The same user name and login works on bbPress site 2.

3) Likewise, someone who signed up on site 2 can login and post under site 1.

Is this possible or simply a pipedream?

Any plugins or site features in the works for something like that?

edit avatar-upload.php in the bbpress root

bb_auth(); // logged in?

to

bb_auth(‘logged_in’); // logged in?” by Batrachoid

It doesn’t look like bbPress has an extensive library of plugins like Word Press.

bbPress JUST went live with the 1.x version. So yeah, there are few plugins. It’s a baby.

Best is subjective. What do you need out of a forum?

[Raize]

Simple Press Sucks

BBPress is too young at this point for it to be a permanent solution

Vanilla is too unstable to be a permanent solution

VBulletin is too clunky

Esotalk got abandoned.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE WORDPRESS FOR FORUMS…YET

[Raize]

So much for giving back to the community lol

[batrachoid]

While I haven’t integrated WordPress and bbPress yet, this topic looks helpful:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/easy-way-to-integrate-bbpress-wordpress-themes

If you’re concerned about bells and whistles, your best bet might be to stick with version 9.0, since there are many more plugins that are known to be compatible. Right now, trying to use the older plugins on 1.0.1 might get you a lot of honks and farts instead.

[batrachoid]

If you’re using Avatar Upload, this seems to be a common problem.

Here is my reponse from another thread:

Yeah, I had the same problem when I updated to the most recent version of BBpress until I noticed this post over at https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/

It worked like a charm for me.

[smfadmin]

Howdy,

It doesn’t look like bbPress has an extensive library of plugins like Word Press. Is this really the best option for forums or should I consider Simple Press, which is what others recommend.

Also, does anyone know of a plugin that allows people to share posts via other social networking sites? Thanks all.

[djboddington]

wow thats good! Thanks for this

[bikingtoronto]

Can you link to the Avatars plug-in? I think there’s a few of them.

I’m using Avatar Upload, and after some fiddling, it’s working great.

My problem is that only users without caps in “user_login” can post to the forum.

The first sign of the problem after pressing “Submit” is in “validate_auth_cookie()” in “class.wp-auth.php” (via “bb-auth()” in “bb-posts.php”).

Specifically, the call to “get_user()” around line 77 is returning false, exiting at line 288 in “class.wp-users.php” .

To cover some of the obvious questions:

– I have flushed cookies and tried this on multiple browsers

– I have inserted the lines into bb-config.php that were suggested by the WP bbPress integration plugin

– I have all the secret keys defined on both sides

– I have “define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1);” in bb-config.php

– I am using deep integration, but get the same result without it

– I get the same result with the standard bbPress theme

UPDATE: it really is about the caps. For user_nicename “reboot”…

– user_login = rebootzzz CAN post

– user_login = rebootZZZ can NOT post

– user_login = Reboot can NOT post

I’m going to put in a standard disclaimer here: iframes are dangerous.

Example: If someone manages to put in malicious code in a bbPress post and you edit it via the admin side using this plugin, it is possible you could bugger your WP install. Now it’s a slim possibility, but iframes are bad, evil and annoying and should be avoided if possible.

Great idea for a plugin, use it responsibly, folks.
