On a side note Sam…

I’d like to try to head the project to include the bbPress administration area into the WordPress admin area as a plugin… It sounds like a major task, but I really don’t think it will be that hard since all of the functions are written for me already…

I noticed that you tucked your plugin under the WP Settings menu, which is where I think it belongs for now. However, once integration becomes more popular, I suspect users may want a centralized administration panel, possibly requiring a separate WP root menu for bbPress related settings.

I know I’m thinking light years ahead here, but perhaps starting to think about an integration standard now before we get too far into things might not be a bad idea?

[John James Jacoby]

I’ve also briefly tested the deepest integration possible with a cross include; including BBP into WP config, and WP into BBP config, thus allowing all functions in all areas.

Aside from the really painful overhead and the possible plug-in conflicts, it seems to work that way also.

I do highly recommend clearing out all cookies once you’ve got everything setup.

Sam, I’ve got homework I need to do for the next few hours, but I promise by tomorrow morning I’ll have a write-up for you.

On some forums you might want to remove bad html markup that’s not allowed instead of encoding it into text. Here’s a mini-plugin to do just that. It also converts <b> into <strong> and <i> into <em>

It only runs when posts are saved instead of each time they are displayed to keep things at full speed. Posts by Moderators and Administrators are not stripped.

(note: for now it doesn’t obey backticks and will strip inside them)

<?php

/*

add_filter('pre_post', 'strip_bad_markup',9);



function strip_bad_markup($text) {

if (!bb_current_user_can('moderate')) {

$tags=bb_allowed_tags(); $tags['br']=true; $tags['p']=true; $tags = implode('|',array_keys($tags));

$text=preg_replace(array("/<(/)?b>/si","/<(/)?i>/si"),array("<$1strong>","<$1em>"),$text);

$text=preg_replace("/</?(?!($tags)).*?>/sim","", $text);

}

return $text;

}

@johnjamesjacoby

This is what I like to hear!

[Sam Bauers]

People having issues with cookies etc need to remember to configure the WordPress plugin and also follow it’s instructions to modify the wp-config.php file in WordPress.

Further to this, you should clear out any manual settings you have made to bb-config.php in bbPress and re-check your settings in the “WordPress integration” page in bbPress admin.

Then clear all your cookies and retest.

[John James Jacoby]

Using deep integration inside the bb-config.php, I’ve been able to include all of the WP functions normally included in the WP/header.php file successfully. This has allowed me to replace the bbPress login/registration with the WordPress one and actually use the WP login/logout function from within BBP.

So far Sam, I am calling this a huge success.

[iservers]

I was not referring to me modifying the core, but rather suggesting that the developers modify it for a future release of bbPress.

SMTP is a major mail API. It can be handled transparently by bbPress with the existing underlying PHP support of the ‘mail()’ function. Seems like a one line (and transparent to existing systems) change in bbPress would be preferable to requiring bbPress admins to discover the issue, debug it, and then find and install a plugin. It would have also prevented me (and judging from the forum topics, others) from spending our (and your) time on the issue as well. Perhaps I am missing something about the development and distribution of bbPress, but using a plugin for a 1 line change is putting a sledgehammer to a tack. Especially since a system presumably built for *nix systems goes into a Windows environment (and rather an unusual one at that; IIS being generally preferred to Apache in that world) rather well. Just my 2c worth.

[John James Jacoby]

Sam…

Logged in as KeyMaster, using the BBP1.0alpha4 (non trunk) and using the BBP Integration plugin for WP (trunk) I can confirm that all cookies, logins, logouts, and admin panels appear to be working from every direction.

WordPress installed in “ROOT/” directory.

bbPress installed in “ROOT/forums/” directory.

Pat yourself on the back soldier, we have lift-off.

Once I am comfortable with my findings and can test this more thoroughly I’ll write a detailed how-to integrate topic ASAP.

---

Side note: It also all appears to still work even with deep integration in the bb-config.php file. Still testing so stay tuned with that.

[johnnydoe]

hello,

i’ve tried to add ** to /mytheme/header.php ( inside the head tags of course) –

**

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”js/jquery.js”></script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”js/jquery.accordion.js”></script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”js/jquerycustom.js”></script>

but it does’nt work so far, is there a special bbpress rule for 3rd party scripts?

it works as standalone version, but the integration in bbpress fails big time.

thanks.

[the_Wish]

I second thenokiablog’s remark on WP 2.7 + bbIntegration Plugin and bbPress A4.

I don’t receive the failure notice though.

[thenokiablog]

updated to 1.0a4 and installed the wordpress plugin. Here is the issue i found:

if i login to wordpress, i still need to log in to bbpress.

BUT

if i login in bbpress, it logs me into wordpress too.

And another issue:

If I login to bbpress, I can’t log OUT of wordpress. I see this WordPress failure Notice:

— You are attempting to log out of **blog title**Please try again.

[Burt Adsit]

The above is a re-post here of a cry for help on the mu forums.

Here’s an update. I’ve debugged this down to the ‘transport’ mechanism in mu. I don’t think that the problem is with the bbpress_live widget. I don’t think that it’s an apache problem. Visit this buddypress forum topic for a complete list of the debugging efforts.

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=376

I’ve gone down to bare metal on the mu side of this and it’s just getting 404 in certain installations and I can’t figure out why. Any help would be appreciated.

[Burt Adsit]

Howdy. I’ve got a buddypress, mu and bbpress site. buddypress is trying to access some forums in bbpress thru xmlrpc. Essentially sambauer’s bbpress_live widget is being used. My problem is that the connection between buddypress and bbpress is failing for some reason unknown to me.

Here’s the sequence of things going on.

buddypress wants to do some stuff in the bbpress forums so a bbpress_Live_Fetch obj is instantiated and the constructor is called. The constructor, since it’s purpose is to fetch something, tries to setup a connection between buddypress and bbpress through one of it’s member functions set_endpoint().

With me so far? We haven’t gotten to the problem yet.

set_endpoint() makes a call to a function in /wp-content/comment.php called discover_pingback_server_uri(). That function’s purpose is to do exotic stuff finding a ‘pingback server uri’ for the passed uri.

I don’t know what that is and don’t really care. I do care that the workhorse part of that function is actually a call to a new 2.7 function that goes out and GETs what is located at the url in question. When it GETs the goop back from that url, it parses it and returns a ping back server uri.

However, the function that it uses to GET goop from the passed url always returns 404 when looking for my bbpress url. It does exist.

The function wp_remote_get() when passed a valid url for bbpress such as ‘http://myfavsite.org/bbpress/&#8217; returns 404.

Here’s the maddening part. It works on a windows development server but not on the live linux server. Same code, same .htaccess files, essentially the same httpd.conf file.

Why would wp_remote_get() return 404 for a valid url? wp_remote_get() and it’s brethren seem to be new in mu 2.7.

wpmu 2.7 r1574 is what I got runnin’

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’m not sure it fixed everything. Or at least not with root cookies.

If I log in via bbpress I’m logged into bbPress AND WordPress Admin but NOT WordPress user. If I try, subsequently, to login as WordPress user, it acts like I’m logged in, but if I go back to a regular page, it doesn’t work. If I then logout on bbPress, I can log in to WordPress. This happens in reverse as well. I can’t be logged into BOTH at once.

The ‘fix’ to that was to add this to wp-config.php

// Cookies

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.net');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

Which has the even WEIRDER side effect of logging me out between apps. Log in to bbPress, fine. Log in to WordPress, logged OUT of bbPress. Ad nasuem.

The ‘fix’ to that is to disconnect

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in';

Which is sooo wrong.

FWIW:

• WordPress 2.7 is installed in /blog and I’m using Giving WordPress its Own Directory While Leaving the WordPress Index File in the Root Directory
• bbPress 1.0alpha4 is installed in /forums
• I have shallow integration, where just cookies are being shared
• I have the new bbPress Integration plugin turned off (though I tested it on and off)

[beardownarizona]

Yeah…this seems to work fine too: http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums/register.php

index.php is in the /forums directory, and there are no .htaccess files that I can find.

So weird, I really have no clue where to go from here! I really like the look and feel of bbPress…I’d hate to have to try and find something else…

[johnnydoe]

alright thanks

[beardownarizona]

Okay, so here’s how the story goes…

I downloaded bbPress 1.0-alpha3 because I’m using WordPress 2.6.3…however I’m not sure if that even matters since I don’t really want to integrate the two.

I removed all the installation files from the bbpress folder, and placed them into my /forums directory. I did this because I wanted my forums to be in http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums, not beardownarizona.com/forums/bbpress.

Once all the files were installed via FTP into my /forums directory, I went to the site and proceeded with the installation. The first screen said “There doesn’t seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress. ” so I continued and put in my database name, username, password, along with my host.

When I hit “save database configuration” I got a ridiculously long error message:

So instead of hassling with that, I created my own bb-config.php file, and uploaded it to the /forums directory. This allowed me to complete the entire installation. However it had one minor error, which said “Key master email not sent!” The installation log is below:

Now when I go to my forums page at http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums, I get a “page not found” error. I’ve double checked my installation files, and they are all there, so I don’t think I’m missing any files…

I’m just at a complete loss for how to proceed. I just want to install the forums on the page, I’m not worried about integration or anything like that, since I don’t really have “users” on my main site. The forums are going to be used for that purpose.

If it makes a difference, I’m using godaddy as my host…If you have any ideas for how I can fix this, please let me know!!

Thanks!

[Sam Bauers]

@TechGnome

Good luck, be sure to report back when it’s done and please share anything you can.

[Sam Bauers]

@johnnydoe

That would be hard to keep up with.

We rely on plugin devs to look after their own code basically. Expect renewed interest when the final 1.0 is released.

[Sam Bauers]

Except unicode for usernames, that will be fixed by allowing unicode display names in bbPress 1.0

[Sam Bauers]

@mshakour

I’ll contact you about adding this to the language repository.

Also, any changes that you need made to core to get full RTL working please add patches to Trac https://trac.bbpress.org/

You shouldn’t be forced to make a modified redistribution just for RTL text. I’m sure the changes required wouldn’t be overwhelming.

[Sam Bauers]

We do unicode display names in bbPress 1.0, but not usernames.

[Sam Bauers]

@ganzua

New 1.0-alpha-4 now available from the download page:

https://bbpress.org/download/

[johnnydoe]

ah ok gotcha.

other than that just a tiny little request, i searched for some plugins, but most of them are not up to date or infunctional, is there a way to re-validate plugins or to sort them out in categories like : alpha stage plugins / discontinued plugins / validated plugins ?

thanks a bunch.

[ganzua]

Hey Sam

What’s the file you changed? Is it possible to download from here?

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/
