Hi,

related indirectly to the post: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/10-alpha-2-parse-url-error

I thought it may be something to do with the permalinks settings so I tried to revert back to “None..” in ADMIN > SETTINGS > GENERAL, but I cannot seem to change back from “Name based” to “None”; it just goes back ot “Name based” when you click “Save changes”, but I can set it to “Numeric”

I thought you might be doing something clever like checking for ther .htaccess file that needs to be uploaded to get the numeric and name based links to work, so I deleted the .htaccess file but still no luck.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,

On 1.0 alpha 2, I just noticed that when your are NOT logged in and you click on “ADD NEW” wherever it appears (front page, tag, etc) I get the following PHP error:

Warning: parse_url(/forums/bb-login.php?re=http://www.example.com/forums/?new=1) [function.parse-url]: Unable to parse URL in /home/www.example.com/public_html/forums/bb-includes/backpress/functions.wp-cron.php on line 186

I never noticed this after first installing as I never felt the need to click on it when not logged in.

I see you don’t have it on your support forums, so I’m not sure what’s happening here.

I tried the sambauers plugin from http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/redirect-after-login-error#post-19571

but when trying to activate it I get “Plugin could not be activated; it produced a Fatal Error.”

I guess this is because it was a fix for a 0.9 release.

Please help!

Well I’ve finally done it, Intergrated my WP blog theme with bbPress. It’s not as hard as you think once you look around. Anyway check out my intergration here:

http://www.james-blogs.com (blog)

http://www.james-blogs.com/forum (forum)

(There are still 1 or two minor CSS errors but the intergration of WordPress functions has been done successfully.

It’s taken me a few days to figure it all out, but I’ve finally done it. Although it does sound like im bragging alot. I also want to share a website that could also help you do theme intergration:

http://bbpressraw.com/bbpress_blank_themes/

This site provides blank themes that are literally the bare minimum of CSS, but even better they provide blank themes in type so for example my blog layout is a 2 Column design. I would also find this layout on bbpressraw.com and then begin editing it.

Being able to get a pre-coded layout with the bare minimum needed within it, certainly helped me alot. And I was able to understand and modify to intergrate my blog theme into it.

I hope this website can help you to in intergrating your bbPress installation

Error log access is highly dependent on your hosting setup. If this is a shared server, you might have a control panel and in there might be access to logs. What is your hosting setup?

If you don’t have or can’t find logs, then you can setup error logging for bbPress, then just log to a file for a while and try accessing this page 2 and see what gets logged. Then, find and fix the problem. I can post the code for custom error logging, or you can google for it.

Yeah, but it’s broken now anyway, so what’s worse? If you don’t want to change it, I understand.

How about just creating a duplicate of it, duplicate the database, copy over all the files from bbPress, then change the domain name or something, or just access it by subdirectory, all on the same server. See if it’s still broken there. If it is, good, you have a good test environment. Now, try the stock theme, and try turning off plugins one by one (all twenty of them) and see when the problem goes away. You have far from a stock installation, so something in your forum or on your server has changed enough to create this problem.

How do I access the error logs?

[chrishajer]

How about watching the RSS feed for the site, in various places, to see when there are changes?

Or, something like this?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-post-notification

Or this discussion?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/email-notification-to-admin-of-every-new-post

Google knows all

[nekita]

Site url changed and locked out of admin area

Maybe?

First off, thanks for integrating “Page links for bbPress” into the new Alpha2, I think it’s a very good feature.

However, there seem to be some issues still.

It seems to randomly assign page numbers to topics (see example). The marked thread has in fact five pages, but the correct number is only shown in the topic page (screenshot No.3):

1. Front Page View:

2. Forum View:

Hi,

I have installed bbPress on local servers (MAMP / Apache that came with mac) and these installations made database tables with collation of “utf8_general_ci”

Installed on online server, and this one made database tables with collation of “latin1_swedish_ci”

Why?

And more importantly, does it matter?

Either way, a lot of entries are not going to be in English, so anything in db isn’t human-readable, so if it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, I guess.

Though, if there is any way to be able to read non-ascii stuffs in database, I would love to know, please…

Thanks.

really the only functions I need is in my header the <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’); ?> for my nav bar, and in my sidebar <?php wp_list_categories(‘title_li=’); ?> is there a way to do these functions in bbpress without loading the entire wp functions this way it may not be breaking. because its the require once wp functions that is breaking my login stuff

[nekita]

I think it was pointed out by Sam that deep integration is still partially broken in Alpha2.

Personally I think that this will always be a source for potential problems and decided to just emulate my wp scheme in bbpress.

[Bharat Karavadra]

With 1.0 alpha 2 I have found that the logins work independently for WordPress and bbPress when they have been integrated.

So I can login into WordPress but also have to login to bbPress – the login isn’t remembered, and the same the other way aorund. When I login into bbPress, I have to then login into WordPress.

But hey, at least the logins are being shared and this seems good enough for me to make the bbPress forums live.

However there seems to be some partial login working between WordPress and bbPress as you will see as follows with respect to some analysis I did.

I hope this is of some use to the team.

LOGIN AS ADMIN:

LOGIN ON WORDPRESS:

Login OK and admin features OK on WordPress

Not logged into bbPress (e.g. register link and login boxes appear)

When trying to access /bbpress/bb-admin – redirected back to /bbpress

Log out of WordPress and..

LOGIN ON BBPRESS:

Login OK and admin features OK on bbPress

Not Logged into WordPress properly (e.g. comments section says login/register and no comments text area, register/login links appear in meta section)

However, when trying to access /wordpress/wp-admin – appears as logged in as admin OK with all admin features in admin area only.

LOGIN AS USER:

LOGIN ON WORDPRESS:

SAME AS FOR ADMIN:Login OK and admin features OK on WordPress

SAME AS FOR ADMIN:Not logged into bbPress (e.g. register link and login boxes appear)

When trying to access /bbpress/bb-admin – redirected back to /bbpress

Log out of WordPress and..

LOGIN ON BBPRESS:

Login OK and profile features OK on bbPress

Not logged into WordPress

However, trying to access /wordpress/wp-admin – appears as logged in (obviously with no admin features).

[cayoba]

ok I changed the require once to this code

$bb->WP_BB = true;

if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

else

if (file_exists(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’);

it got rid of the errors, however, now when i click on the admin link, after logging in, it just refreshes the page and does not bring me to the admin so now im exactly where victor is with his problem

[cayoba]

ok I have removed alpha 1 and tried alpha 2, now it will log in however, when I click admin this is what I get Warning: require_once(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rosebud1/public_html/forums/bb-config.php on line 2

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/rosebud1/public_html/forums/bb-config.php on line 2

im confused because it does the wp functions in the header before I login so im lost.

[chrishajer]

You’re absolutely right. The only bbPress table with data in it is bb_meta, with 15 rows. None of the other bbPress tables have any data in them.

I did change the bb_ table prefix to bbpress_ and used a different one for WordPress too (wordpress_ instead of wp_) but that was all done pre-installation. The tables are there, just no data in them. It did read the WordPress user table at some point and told me the username to log in with, and “use current password” or something similar. So, somehere along the way, it died. I’m less concerned with getting my install fixed and more concerned with getting the installer fixed.

[Radium]

Yeah it wasn’t an issue with alpha 1 for me either. It must be something about bbpress that was changed.

[nekita]

Thank you for your hard work and congrats on the progress. I’ll be Upgrading tomorrow.

[nekita]

Also this wasn’t a problem with Alpha 1, right? At least it wasn’t for me…

[zigx]

anyone know if this plugin works with the latest bbpress? (0.9.0.2 )

I cant seem to get it to work.

Plugin is activated, but links do not have _blank added into the <a tag.

any ideas? thank you!!

[chrishajer]

WordPress 2.6.2 svn checkout r8849

bbPress trunk svn checkout r1794

I installed WordPress first and that went fine. I logged in and changed my password. Then I went to install bbPress. bbPress installation appeared to go fine. I used simple keys with WordPress so that bbPress wouldn’t choke on them.

I got to the final step and got a message “There were some errors encountered during installation!” and then I checked off “Show messages” to reveal the following:

“Forum could not be created!” (that may have been visible before revealing the messages as well – I can’t recall.)

After that, I tried to access the forum anyway, but I get an error in Firefox3:

Redirect Loop



Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.



The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

* Have you disabled or blocked cookies required by this site?

There is no .htaccess in the WordPress directory or in the bbPress directory. bbPress was installed in a subdirectory of WordPress.

/var/www/htdocs/ch/wordpress

/var/www/htdocs/ch/wordpress/forums

Any ideas?

[cayoba]

I am having the same problem and I do have the <?php if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?> in the header, it just resets, if i remove the require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’); it will log me in, other wise it just refreshes as if im not logged in.

[chrishajer]

Right, it is more complex than that. Since the function returns an array it’s up to you do figure out how to display it. Also, looking at the widget code is a pretty good start of how to go about getting the data out of that array. And the readme file is also good.

[patung]

Fair enough I don’t know php from my elbow, it’s just with other plugins, including some you can use as a widget, if you don’t use the widget they tell you what code to stick in the sidebar and it’s usually just like <?php call_to_some_function(); ?> but if this is more complex than that then ok.

Btw ignore what I said about cpu usage, I can’t re-create it so must have been something else.
