WP2.6/BBpress1a

I think my cookies settings are all in a pretzel! (Or the admin roles are mis-mapped?)

I’ve had a challenging time getting these integrated, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel…

If I log in as admin from WP, I can post at bb, but can’t access the backpages, nor can i logout.

If I login from BBpress, everything works normally. I’m confused about the various settings for cookie paths, since both the blog and forum are in subfolders of the site, to allow for future expansion without having to move them again.

Interesting. There any code from there you can release in the mean time? Pretty disappointed that bbPress has such poor search, but not surprising given how little information and documentation there is.

[John James Jacoby]

It seems like there are several issues here, and I’m not sure which is really the issue or which is a bug…

Firstly, when integrated, bbPress wants to use the WordPress classes and functions where possible. Namely, the problem with capabilities lies currently with the difference in the WP_User->has_cap function.

On the WordPress side of it, it is missing the global $wp_roles; and the corresponding check of those roles against the current capability to check.

$caps = call_user_func_array( array(&$wp_roles, 'map_meta_cap'), $args );

So I’m not sure if this is just a case of bbPress not keeping up with the WordPress user/role classes, or if this is WordPress not properly carrying over bbPress capabilities.

Ugh…

I JUST FOUND THE PROBLEM CHRIS….

I forgot to fill out my config.php file, so BBpress used the one that WP is using. They are both using the same database.

BBpress somehow found the info from WP’s config.php file and used it. I remember BBpress telling me it didn’t find the config.php file, and did I want it to fill one out for me. I clicked “yes” and it took the info from WP’s config.php

I noticed this in my FTP…..there is a config.php.sample (came with BBpress) and a config.php that BBpress generated.

I need to start a new database and fill out manually a config.php to go with it. Thanks for all your help Chris and I hope this helps others that may have done the same thing.

Thanks for trying to help on this Chris. Here is what my htaccess file looks like at the moment:

Options +MultiViews

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Keep in mind this is in my root directory. (so both WP and BBpress are both using it?)

Am I supposed to have a seperate htaccess file in the bbpress directory too?

I got access to the code you sent me. Do I delete the above code and replace it with this code you sent?

If you need encryption, you could just access the forum over SSL, right, like https://www.example.com/forum/ -you’d need a SSL cert, but this would encrypt the traffic, correct?

Or are you trying to do something else?

The 40 users is not a problem for bbPress.

[emm237]

Hi, i am thinking about using bbPress to build a forum where up to 40 users could login. The login details need to be very secure and encrypted. Is this a feature?

Thanks

That’s an interesting idea ck, and that might get me where I want to go.

Have you seen anyone do something like through bbshowcase?

The approach Digg uses is very simple and would not need such an advanced plugin like “promote to front page”.

All you need to mimic Digg is allow voting on topics and then replace the part of your front page that shows the latest-discussions with the list of topics by highest rank.

In fact there is already a topic voting plugin that does that, you’d just have to edit your front-page layout. You could then go further like Digg does and restrict highest rated by date – 24 hours / 7 days / 30 days / all time

I keep a mirror here:

bbPress’s search is horrible (also in WordPress).

There essentially is no advanced search at all.

I have a Super-Search plugin that I’ve never finished and may go back one day to look at it when I have some time.

Just finished some integration for a website I run. Added a few of ck’s awesome plug-ins. :tip of the hat:

Still need to smooth the bugs out of the registration/login process before I will be 100% happy. I need to use a specific registration plug-in on the WordPress side that bbPress doesn’t play nice with.

[peuter]

I can get into the dashboard of BBpress, but when I click on “Settings” or any other link in the dashboard, it goes back to that “not found” page from WP.

[chrishajer]

Looks like you have permalinks enabled but not configured. You can turn off permalinks in your admin (set them to none) or you can configure your server:

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

Try turning them to none first, to see if that truly is the problem.

[peuter]

I have renamed bbpress’s folder to something called “collectibles-talk”. I have this folder in my root along with WP. I do not have them integrated, they are separate, both using there own database.

When I click on any of the forum topics, say “Please Introduce Yourself”, it takes me back to my WP website, a 404 page. Any ideas? Here is my website’s forum, so you can see what I am talking about: http://collectibleswow.com/collectibles-talk/

Click on a forum topic.

Thanks

Hello, I’ve just messed up my work. I had WP in root and BB under /bbpress directory but I’ve decided to use BB in root and WP under /blog directory because BB suits my needs better. So I moved it around / changed the setting of both to reflect the new URL… but I can’t log in BB, it says user “admin” doesn’t exist (admin was originally created for WP which I installed first).

My BB homepage says:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) in /home/home1/novapojistovna_cz/public_html/www/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/home1/novapojistovna_cz/public_html/www/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 377

Now where do I start to fix it? Please help, thank you.

[johnnydoe]

hello,

im not sure, but i guess this is the right place to get this “bbpress.org” theme for bbpress, or is there a another spot to download this template?

thanks a ton

Thanks for your post electroniques, it helps for my problem.

[John James Jacoby]

Looks good enough to me, although I haven’t checked the source to see exactly how you did it.

[chrishajer]

Interestingly, I just replied to a thread, but it doesn’t show up. Then I added a couple tags to that thread, and they don’t show up. I know I did it all. I will check tomorrow to see if the content shows up. This is the worst I’ve seen. Normally it’s visible within 20 or 30 seconds. This has been a few minutes now.

after install, several broken links

UPDATE: after 5 minutes, now my reply is there and so are the tags. Weirdness.

[chrishajer]

Looks like you have permalinks enabled but not configured. You can turn off permalinks in your admin (set them to none) or you can configure your server:

See this part of the plugin, you need to change the bb_add_filter and bb_add_actionto justadd_filterandadd_action`

/******************************************************************************

*****************************************************************************/



$bbemoticons = & new bbEmoticons();



bb_add_filter('post_text', array(&$bbemoticons, 'convert_smilies'));

//bb_add_action('bb_head', array(&$bbemoticons, 'bb_grins_head'));

bb_add_action('bb_feed_head', array(&$bbemoticons, 'bb_grins_head'));

i like the idea ck. Why not take it one step further and allow voting to promote it to the front page, ala digg.

I want people to be able to post to the front page without any approval. Kinda a no holds bar approach.
