Might as well, add my forums that I and a friend is working on.

I am using bbPress and WordPress for user intergation from my blog.

Just a Community

(Still being designed )

Many sites are using bbPress for production sites with hundreds of thousands of topics and posts. You can go ahead and use the latest version in the 0.9 branch, I wouldn’t get too hung up on “waiting for 1.0 getting out of beta”.

I tried to write a response to your snarky comment, but I couldn’t think of a non-snarky response. Anyway, if you aren’t so snarky when you post, people will try to be more helpful to you.

Totally über super-fantastic video, sambauers. I couldn’t have integrated bbPress and WP without it! Thanks a ton! I’m now running WordPress 2.7 and bbPress-1.0-alpha-6.

There are 2 specific things that got me past the “Forum could not be created” screen when I tried to install bbPress the first time:

1. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast#post-22363

As the post above explains, I added the following line to the .htaccess files for my WordPress and bbPress installations:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Thanks a bunch, chrishajer. It’s ALWAYS a .htaccess addition that makes my installation life easier – LOL.

2. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast/page/2#post-22465

Thank you asymmetrik. This helped me discover that my WP 2.7 installation didn’t actually have a NONCE_KEY in the wp_config.php file at all. So, I ran the security key generator and got it.

BTW, sambauers , I’m totally diggin’ on your blog’s design/layout: http://unlettered.org/

I plugged the text into Google Translate, and got this rough translation:

---

Chinese bbPress forum http://cartoon.lamost.org/forum.php?id=2

The question now is, it can paste the Chinese but not Chinese user name registration interface, sinicized also garbled, character set problem?

Welcome to visit and discuss

I may be misunderstanding this, but the question sounds like it may be: “I can’t register chinese language usernames using bbPress… why is this?”

If so, that’s because bbPress 1.0 doesn’t allow unicode usernames… only unicode display names.

Chinese? Foreigners can not read

I have no way to test this code right now

but try putting into a file called https-mode.php

and put it into your my-plugins directory

(you might have to create the directory)

and then activate it in your control panel.

In theory it should make bbpress internal urls HTTPS when it detects you are trying to use HTTPS:// (SSL) mode, even though your main bbpress url is HTTP://

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: HTTPS mode

Description: forces internal bbPress URLs from HTTP to HTTPS only when using SSL

*/



add_filter( 'bb_get_uri', 'https_mode',1,3);

add_filter( 'bb_get_option_uri','https_mode',1);



function https_mode($uri,$resource='',$context='') {

if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && strpos($uri,'http://')===0) {$uri=str_replace('http://','https://',$uri);}

return $uri;

}



?>

[_ck_]

Did you look inside the login-form.php template?

You might be referring to the 2nd one inside the failed login form which is probably in the core.

A plugin might be able to fix this problem by detecting if the user is in HTTP vs HTTPS mode and filtering bb_get_option_uri – this intrigues me so I might write it and post it here shortly.

[_ck_]

bbPress’s filters prevent users from making multiple newlines so they can’t make 1000 of them in a row.

However you can do tricks like putting <em> </em> in between two lines for 3 lines.

1

3

If you want multiple lines on a regular basis as admin, my “admin can post anything” plugin might allow you to do that, though I can’t remember for certain.

[Malice]

Thanks for the headsup ck! Pretty glad with what I can do in alpha 1.06 so I personally don’t need any immediate change.

Take all the time you need for my part.

1. I wonder if there is a way to opt-out for displaying IP address of a poster.

2. Can I have people post without logging in?

Seems I am flooding the forum with questions. I am new to bbPress and want to do so much! Thank you everyone!

[emailjohndavid]

Hello,

I am trying to set up bbPress login with https and all other login related pages to go through https. My ssl pages are working fine when loading, but I get a warning message at the login saying “Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.” Surely enough, ‘login’ button is associated with http://mydomainname/forum/bb-login.php instead of https. Where and how would I fix this problem? Any help would be really appreciated!

[chrishajer]

It does not work with WordPress 2.7 AFAIK. bbPress 0.9.0.4 and WordPress 2.7 don’t integrate. If you want something similar for WordPress 2.7, you might have a look at bbPress Live:

Joel Spolsky has great article on 12 steps to better cording.

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html

#6 refers directly to why keeping an up-to-date schedule is important and why “when it’s done, it’s done” it not an answer.

Now, looking at bbPress Roadmap

http://trac.bbpress.org/roadmap

We are over 6 months behind and it’s is NOT up-to-date

[frooyo]

>> “However 0.9 is so fast, it doesn’t even need it in most cases. That will change with bbPress 1.0 which is twice the size of 0.9 and has many more files. It will need a cache for more active sites. “

Hopefully someone will port wp-super-cache sooner than in a “few months”

I am having the same issue as slambert1971.

WPMU 2,7 running in the site root. bbpress 1.0- alpha 6 running in forum directory. BuddyPress beta 2 running on top off this.

Intergration is working in that the user datatbase is shared. WPMU, bbPress and BuddyPress works 100% on their own. The only thing that does not work is that I have to login / out of each one seperately.

I would also like the login cookies to log me in and out of both sites.

Anyone have any further tips for me to look at?

Thanks!

[wiseacre]

Sorry about delay, guys.

@pierig – What about your bbpress version?

NOTE: Please have in mind this script is tested with not respect any plugins.

[_ck_]

Essentially any plugin that relies on specific paths,

ie. if you see REQUEST_URI in the plugin, it is likely to have compatibility problems – also anything that refers to specific filenames in the bbpress root, bb-post.php, topic.php etc.

Some things may simply break because of redirects to specific paths or filenames that no longer exist.

I’ll post more things to look for as I think of them, however I can’t completely predict how Sam will change things. He needs the freedom to change whatever he needs to change to make progress (and keep performance reasonable) so I have to wait until he is done.

Most of the plugins with problems should be fairly straightforward to fix, but the bigger problem I have to deal with is maintaining compatibility with 0.8 + 0.9 + early 1.0 alpha and then 1.0 alpha 7 and beyond. I don’t like maintaining multiple versions of a plugin to solve this because it’s tedious to apply bug fixes across them.

[Andrew]

Understood, and thanks for the warning. Perhaps we can use this thread to identify which ones break.

Hi !

I’m using wpmu 2.7+buddypress+bbpress trunk

and cannot translate bbpress. Only the admin side is half translated and nothing on the user side except one or two buttons (ie in login)

mo file is absolutely not working yet !

And i had same troubles with past wpmu 2.6.5…

i tried many things found here on the forum. Latest test was to retrieve BB-LANG settings in function.bb-i10n.php, disabling mo file in my-languages folder. Nothing, no error nor translation !

Does anybody has the same configuration as i, with a foreign language working ?

So please tel how you make this work !

Thanks

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Thank you! I’ll hold up on 1.0-a6 for now Any idea which plugins will bomb? I know you made a million and a half of ’em, but I’m curious to know which ones you know will break, which ones you think will break, and such.

[Fernando Tellado]

Thanks a lot for the info _ck_. I run alpha 6 in a production forum and several communities that work with Buddypress and this advice is really important

[Radium]

Yeah, sorry for not updating on this. Since the forums are completely empty anyway I plan to move into bbpress as soon as 1.0 RC1 is released. My goal was to integrate the forums and the blog, but at the time I originally created the forums it was not possible without heavy modification which proved too time consuming. I have moved my testing of BBpress and wordpress integration to http://www.ridelegend.com/community/ however

Actually you want my Read-Only forums.

It makes it so only some people can post, everyone can read.

wp-super-cache would not be as difficult as you’d imagine to port.

However 0.9 is so fast, it doesn’t even need it in most cases.

That will change with bbPress 1.0 which is twice the size of 0.9 and has many more files. It will need a cache for more active sites. I might try to make the effort in a few months to convert it.
