I have installed my WordPress-MU 2.7 & bbPress1.0.1 and I also try to bridge the cookies between them.

Now the user data is shared by them. But I can’t make the cookie share work.

I have installed “bbPress Integration” plugin for WordPress. I also Copy these from wp-config:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘blahblah’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘blahblah’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘blahblah’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘blahblah’);

define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ‘bliddyblah’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘bliddyblah’);

Put them in bb-config.php with BB_ in front:

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘blahblah’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘blahblah’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘blahblah’);

define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘blahblah’);

define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘bliddyblah’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘bliddyblah’);

But I don’t know what I should fill in bbPress –> Dashboard –> Setting –> WordPress Integration. For example, where is WordPress “auth” cookie salt in WPMU? I also can’t find WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt & WordPress “logged in” cookie salt in my WordPress admin page.

Where can I find them in WPMU?

I managed to find the word “sullat” in sv_SE.mo and changed it to “tappat”, saved the changed file and uploaded it and it worked fine.

But when a new user get the password the text looks like this:

“Ditt användarnamn är: åke-örjan

Ditt lösenord är: ••••••••••”

It seems ok in the sv_SE.mo file but is not ok when it reaches the user. What is the problem and how can it be fixed?

I got the following error when converting:

General Error

SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Data too long for column ‘post_text’ at row 1 [1406]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.

Answer to my post about Swedish names: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/swedish-names-for-users-wanted#post-39020

In the translation I want to change a word. It states:

“Registrera dig eller logga in – sullat bort lösenordet? ” where the word “sullat” is very unusal and not understandable to many people. How can I replace it with “tappat” ?

Thank you Kar-l and _ck_ for your answers.

CyrNickName might be useful but where can I find it? It is not in the list of plugins and it might be possible to download from a site a found in Russian but I do not understand russian so I could not use it. After more searching I found http://bbpress.ru/downloads/plugins/ where I could download it and it seems to work fine.

Try putting this into your bb-config.php

$bb->uri = 'http://your-domain-name.com/forums/';

I have installed bbpress under mysite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ and its working fine along with blog (integrated). I would like to move it to mysite.com/forums. I physically copied the files to the mysite.com/forums folder and ran it gave an error saying “page not found” and then I commented out my bb-config.php to restart installation. It accepted DB values but in the Step 2 it went to the old location where it was installed mysite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/. So looks like the site path is hard coded in the database how do I address this.

0.9 is very trim, 1.0 is technically as large as WP

Using topic meta you can store attributes for just about anything.

Searching it is another matter, you’d have to write some custom routines.

It all comes down to how much PHP you know or if you can pay a developer.

bbPress can do a great deal, but sometimes there are apps that can do better, don’t try to hammer a square peg into a round hole.

It’s possible to use it to power Classifieds like so (this is done with bbPress plus an adapted version of the Support Forum plugin together with the My Views plugins):

http://classifieds.weddingbee.com

However, as far as I know… it’s not currently easy to add all that meta info for each item – i.e. edition name, price, condition, etc. It’d be fairly straightforward to program a plugin to pull that off though! But it’s not currently available, as far as I’m aware…

I’m looking to start up a book exchange for students at the university I attend. I want it to be very basic. People post the book along with some additional information (edition, price, condition, etc.) The posts would need to be searchable (of course), and there would have to be a way of viewing each department separately (for instance, just browsing the French books for sale).

I’ve been playing with Noah’s classifieds, and while it would work, I feel like I can do better. bbPress is very trim, which I like, and I’ve used wordpress a lot, which should be helpful. How well suited is bbPress for something like this?

language files,

in bbPress 0.9 go into bb-includes/languages/

in bbPress 1.0 they go into my-languages/

I was converting another forum tonight and ran into a MySQL error while running the converter.

The error had the name of one of the forums in it, and that forum happened to have a contraction in it. I’m not sure how one could edit the script to accommodate apostrophes, but I simply renamed the forum and removed the apostrophe.

I reran the converter without the apostrophe, and it worked just fine. So if anyone else runs into an error, pay attention to what it is choking on, maybe you can remove some funky characters and sneak around it!

[johnhiler]

What version of bbPress are you on?

CyrNickName is virtually identical to the function linked above, they all take the same approach:

function sanitize_user_cyr( $raw_username, $username, $strict = false ) {

$raw_username = $username;



$username = strip_tags($username);

// Kill octets

$username = preg_replace('|%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])|', '', $username);

$username = preg_replace('/&.+?;/', '', $username); // Kill entities



// If strict, reduce to ASCII for max portability.

//	if ( $strict )

//		$username = preg_replace('|[^a-z0-9 _.-@]|i', '', $username);



return apply_filters('sanitize_user_cyr', $username, $raw_username, $strict);

}



add_action('sanitize_user', 'sanitize_user_cyr', 0, 3);

It’s an issue with Simple Onelist:

Do you have a /my-templates/ folder? More info here!

https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

[hrfedh]

I had installed it into /forums/bbpress. I got it up and running and pointed to that same address. I changed the address to /forums. I tried to move all of the files in bbpress into /forums, then I deleted the bbpress folder.

Any idea why it wouldn’t work.

Arun, I’ve integrated bbPress before using sessions, it was very easy.

Here is the code: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?pid=54919#p54919

[johnhiler]

That 1col_fixed theme only has front-page.php, header.php, footer.php, and a few other miscellaenous files.

If bbPress can’t find a particular template file, it will pull the ones from the default theme, Kakumei (stored in /bb-templates/kakumei )

More here: https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

I would copy the missing files from kakumei over to your 1col_fixed theme, and then you can edit them right there. Good luck!

[johnhiler]

There was some discussion on sessions and bbPress here that may be helpful:

[arun.kumar]

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, my website is using sessions for authentication and for passing values between pages.

Thanks!

Arun.

I’m trying to integrate bbpress into a custom WP theme I’ve made myself. I downloaded a theme that seemed perfect for me to start from, essentially a sandbox-esque theme. I got it from here (scroll down to 1col_fixed, there’s really no working direct link). I edited some files (header.php, footer.php, and front-page.php) and got EXACTLY the look I wanted. It looks fantastic with my site.

However as soon as I stray off the main page, it starts looking hairy. There are NO files to edit so that I can change the forum list view, the topic view, or any other page. The readme file says the following:

bbPress themes can be kept mean and lean. bbPress will pick up any missing mandatory

template files from the default template. Use this to keep your themes simple.

Yes, well, what if I need to customize THEM? Where do I get these files to edit them? Or would it, after all, be easier to start from a different theme?

Thanks… the sooner someone can get back to me on this, the better; I’m kind of on a tight schedule!

[bobbyh]

arun, FYI, bbPress doesn’t use “sessions” for authentication, it uses cookie-based authentication. Does your existing website use “sessions” for authentication?

[bobbyh]

Are you using bbpress 1.0? I hope not, because I wrote that that plugin for 0.8. Also, what version of WordPress are you using?

Also, what version of PHP do you use, is your bbpress integrated with WordPress (not “deep integration”, just “user table integration”. Basically, you have to tell me something about your setup for me to offer any help at all.
