Okay. So bb_repermalink is being called with a $location of ‘front-page’. $_SERVER is returning the null string and $_SERVER is also empty.

This causes the code at line 784 to bb_load_template 404.php because the null $uri does not contain the $check string which, in my case is ‘/bbpress/’.

SO… my question now is… why in the *heck* is the REQUEST_URI null?

[stevebooth]

$permalink is http://stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/

[stevebooth]

How do I turn on the ‘bb_log’ing facility, and where does bbPress place the log file?

With bbPress v 1 RC – I had the same need and ended up putting this into the topic-tags.php template – and it worked great:

<div id="topic-tags">

<?php if ( bb_get_topic_tags() ) : ?>

<?php foreach ( $tags as $tag ) : ?>

<?php if ($tag == end($tags)) >

<a href="<?php tag_link(); ?>" rel="tag"><?php tag_name(); ?></a> <?php tag_remove_link(); ?>

<?php else >

<a href="<?php tag_link(); ?>" rel="tag"><?php tag_name(); ?></a><?php tag_remove_link(); ?>,

<?php endif;?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php else : ?>

<p><?php printf(__('No <a href="%s">tags</a> yet.'), bb_get_tag_page_link() ); ?></p>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php tag_form(); ?>

</div>

This added the commas appropriately.

Good job on guessing the link there, John! You’re exactly correct. I also get an infinite loop when I go to the one forum, i.e.: http://stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/forum.php?id=1.

I’m wondering… could this possibly be due to not having any posts recorded for the forum?

[daniellejosh]

i have all my WP contents installed in my root and also a folder called “forums” under my root… what should I do?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

With the setup you describe, I think you have bbpress as a subfolder under your WP install, and I’m not sure that’s a good idea. But I have no proof. I always suggest having WP in a non root folder, due to htaccess weirdness.

[arthaseo]

thanks

[jurasiks]

very strange, i have converted phpbb 305 to bbpress 0905 with just one error in users (password filed was to short)

u installed some mods or etc that affect phpbb database?

and your phpbb db is large? better to convert on localhost

[jurasiks]

Thx again, will be that support in BBPress 1.0?

[Florian]

But how do I change the corresponding links? If I just translate “topic” in the htaccess, bbpress will understand the translated urls but still generate links with the original “topic”, wouldn’t it?

[johnhiler]

Ah I see. That exact error has been reported by someone else using the latest bbPress together with Hidden forums… and they even suggested a patch to functions.bb-forums.php that they claim fixed the issue!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/when-there-is-no-forum-to-display-warning-is-generated

Or if I’m reading this correctly, you could also create a general folder and leave it as public… so that there’s always at least one forum, and it’s never null?

[johnhiler]

There are some discussions on the subject (and links to plugins) here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/accents-in-username

Hope that helps!

[johnhiler]

Hey Chris! I guessed the url from Steve’s profile link… and was able to reproduce the issue he mentioned:

http://www.stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/

I did notice one strange thing – when I signed up for an account and clicked on profile, I got a Redirect Loop error in Firefox:

http://stevenmbooth.com/bbpress/profile.php?id=3

[thion]

Things like “tags” or “topic” can be translated directly within .htaccess file, as for the “post-name” – I think there’s no way to manipulate this yet, it is being sanitized deeply within bbPress core.

[johnhiler]

Ah shouldn’t have assumed it was htaccess. This is from an earlier post:

500 Internal Server Errors are usually either related to your .htaccess file or to your file permissions:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/500-internal-server-error-1#post-13073

Here’s a number of reports from users who ran into similar issues – it was usually resolved by one of those two solutions:

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/500-error

Maybe try the permissions angle? Or if not, you could browse the 500-error tag for other possible approaches…

[daniellejosh]

OH, let me check that out… thanks!!!

[daniellejosh]

But thank you for your time!

[Cathy Mitchell]

Before I spend a lot of time trying to customize this, I want to know if the discussions i have with clients in bbpress (I plan to download a plugin to allow me to make a discussion hidden except for a specified user), be also logged in the client’s profile on wp?

– also can thumbnail images be uploaded into a forum post?

– has anyone tried to integrate a shopping cart or even paypal button into a profile on bbpress before?

[johnhiler]

At first blush, I’d guess that it was an issue with your htaccess file. Did you set one up?

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

[johnhiler]

Just did some research for ya – looks like this issue can be caused sometimes by problems with htaccess files:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/243002

Is it possible that when installing bbpress, the htaccess file was changed and that caused some of these issues?

[stevebooth]

I managed to get my 1.0 bbPress installed (after having to manually edit the database), and bb-admin works just fine (or appears to), but when I browse to the bb itself, all I ever get is a 404 error. First, I’ve checked the obvious. ‘index.php’ exists in the bb root directory, and everything *seems* to be fine. Is there a log or something somewhere that tells me what it was trying to do so I can debug this?

Thanks in advance, ye BB-ers!

Steve

[daniellejosh]

I am not sure how to determine that

[johnhiler]

Hmm, maybe post the code to the part of the template where the problems are occurring? We can look for potential conflicts with bbPress code…

[daniellejosh]

Thanks, I will. It was after I installed bbPress that this started to happen…
