Hiya,

I’ve come across a problem – i’m having to pick between the flash upload bug in 2.5 RC1 and the fact that cookies don’t work for the RC1+ wp integration.

can anyone help me resolve this? how are people dealing with this? I’m not averse to hacking a solution either way if necessary.

i need to use WP/BBpress on a heavily customised client based implementation so am guessing that the alpha implementation with 2.7 isn’t the way to go?

Thanks

Dan

Yeah they do that for vbulletin and phpbb too, so I suspect it’s a problem they have to work out.

This is not possible with bbPress as far as I know. bbPress does not live within WordPress or on a WordPress page. It’s not a plugin for WordPress. You can integrate bbPress to get single sign-on (shared logins) between bbPress and WordPress, and you can have access to WordPress functions in bbPress, so you can use get_footer(), get_sidebar(), get_header(), etc. But, it doesn’t work they way you are describing.

Version of bbPress?

Integration with WordPress y/n?

Google’s counter appears to be capped by the number of posts per page, in my case 20.

For example, the first result here shows “20 posts”, yet the topic runs to almost 400.

Google is probably still sorting out the algorithm.

Because templates can be customized endlessly, it’s hard to find patterns sometimes.

You’ll notice it only appears on some topics, not all:

I don’t believe there is a definite date.

The problem with VPS is the system will lie to you as far as how much CPU is available to you at any given time. MySQL being at 90% may be a symptom, not the cause.

You can have just one program running but if a neighbor on the same node is hogging the disk with heavy disk access, processes like MySQL which need fast disk access to respond timely will start to overload. There isn’t a single VPS that has decent disk I/O management.

What you can try to do is give MySQL as much ram as you can afford. Also take a look at how many queries your bbpress pages are using via my bb-benchmark plugin, make sure they are below two dozen.

There are specific tools you can monitor your VPS with that I highly recommend:

1. This one is a MUST so you can show your host that you have bad neighbors

http://www.silversoft.com/loadavg

2. This one takes a little more install time but is very helpful too:

http://www.labradordata.ca/home/13

3. last but not least you want a mysql monitor like MyTop

http://jeremy.zawodny.com/mysql/mytop/

Keep in mind, if you discover (via loadavg) that the load time of day happens at the EXACT same time every day (like on the hour at 9am) that means your host is doing something stupid like backing up all the VPS on the node at the same time instead of staggering it. Some VPS hosts are more experienced than others. Some hosts will argue with you that your neighbors can’t be affecting you on a VPS, in which case the host is ignorant or an idiot, or even worse, a liar.

Oh and if you don’t have a php opcode cache installed (you didn’t mention it one way or another) be sure to install one: eaccelerator, xcache or apc (eaccelerator recommended for ease of install and general compatibility)

If all else fails, replace Apache with Litespeed or lighttpd or get a better host.

Sounds marvelous.

My pages probably need some recrawling before it turns up though.

Mmmmh… in my forum, google indexed the information that the header was showing when the thread was posted; date, web age, moon phase, hit counter count and next, the thread title and the title of the first sticky Great work.

Now, is there any bbpress plugin that can insert meta tags in the wp header after a deep integration? just like the all in one seo wp plugin?

[erick_paper]

Any idea when bbPress 1 is out? At least in beta? I would really like this integration to work.

Several month ago, Google started showing special meta data in search results for popular forums like vBulletin and phpBB, like how many posts in a topic, the last date of the last post, etc.

Unfortunately since every forum type is different, younger forum types were left out, including bbPress. I tried to find the right person to contact at Google to help them add bbPress, but to no avail.

However I was very pleased to notice tonight that Google is suddenly showing meta info for sites using bbPress forums!

Here is a search example:

Here is a highlighted snapshot in case you have no idea what I am taking about:

It’s only working on a handful of sites using bbPress at the moment but hopefully that will grow and this is a very good sign.

There was a post along these lines recently but I can’t seem to find it. It was by sambauers, and this is close but I don’t think this was it. Maybe read this whole thread?

There was a similar bug report posted – the earlier response might be helpful… or maybe the original poster might let you know if they ever found a solution?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/latest-discussions-add-new-link-problem-if-not-logged

This might also do the trick (although it’s a bit kludgy):

There’s a plugin that allows anonymous posting, but all users are marked as with “anonymous”:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-anonymous-posting/

_ck_ wrote a cool plugin that lets you “add additional fields to posts like Name/Email/Website for anonymous users via Post Meta plugin”: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-meta/

I don’t know how thoroughly it’s been tested, but if you are willing to run alpha software – it might be worth a shot!

I will try this soon and let you know. Thanks!

I hate to bring this up again, but do to the lack of documentation for bbPress, I have to. I know the approach I’m taking will use more server resources and that most bbPress people tell you not to do it, but whatever.

I’m shooting for 100% seamless integration, with the same exact sidebar as the rest of my WP pages that updates with the rest of the site.

WordPress 2.7 is installed in / on my server, while bbpress 1.0-alpha is installed in /bbpress.

I added the following to/bbpress/bb-config.php:

include('../wp-config.php');

Then I replaced bb_get_header() with get_header() in the theme files, so my WordPress header loads just as expected, BUT wp_head does not execute, so most of the styling for my template is not loaded.

At what point does wp_head fail or get canceled? I tried this exact same thing with the stable version of bbPress, and wp_head executed fine, but I couldn’t log in (it logged into WordPress instead, weird?).

You can download and install the plugin here!

Installation instructions are here:

Yes, that is what my plugin attempts to do.

You would set your regular bbPress url as HTTP but the plugin will detect when you are trying to use HTTPS and modify the internal url on the fly to HTTPS without permanently changing it.

Then you just have to modify your login links to link via HTTPS to start the process.

I guess I could further modify my plugin to force a HTTPS redirect when it sees the bb-login.php page.

Hi All,

I’m having an issue with my bbpress >> add new topic functionality.

When a user is not logged in and clicks on “Add new topic” they are sent to a 404 page instead of login/register page.

Additionally, I would like to make my forum open to anyone to post, without registration. Is this possible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work guys!

Thanks again!

While I was reading your post, I remembered that my bbPress URL under settings was not pointed to https. Problem solved when I changed http to https in bbPress URL setting.

Is there a way to have login pages password sensitive pages to use https but leave other pages to http?

[briandbutler]

my problem is also “salt” related….

HELP!

I upgraded to wpmu 2.7, and bbpress1.0 alpha 4…. the data base was sharing…everything was almost perfect….but then….

I was in the Admin Panel for bbpress, and was changing User roles (admin of wp to be admin of bbpress, etc)….

Then, I saw that the ‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’ form was blank…. (in the admin panel of bbpress for wordpress integration)… I thought …”mmm., thats strange, I already entered that when doing the setup.!”…. so…..i entered the key again …..

oops, really bad idea

Now, i get an error message:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) in /nfs/c02/h03/mnt/27695/domains/globotrends.com/html/forums/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123
