WP-Syntax should take all of 10 minutes to port to bbPress:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/syntax-highlighter-plugin

I have a “Syntax-Lite” plugin in development that is less than 1k and uses PHP’s built-in (high speed) highlighter but only works with PHP code of course. It also won’t be available for quite awhile as I don’t have time for bbPress projects these days.

[beernews]

Ok, fair enough. I will delete the alpha off of my local and play around with the older version instead. Is the upgradability from release to release as seamless as WP?

[Olaf Lederer]

A syntax highlighter in wordpress/bbpress is always a hard to do.

Geshi and tinyMCE = forget it

I have finally a parser in WP but need to work in code view only.

[Olaf Lederer]

maybe because your list is empty? which bbpress version are you using?

There have been so many new features added in the past few weeks in the trunk that there’s no way it’s ever going to be stable this month (October).

Even if they release another alpha (or beta but that would be crazy), that doesn’t mean it’s stable, it means it needs to be tested and debugged, thoroughly. Sam only has a limited environment to test things. Problems with PHP4 or Windows come up constantly and other things he can’t easily test. There’s also a good chance plugins will become broken (again/still).

Do NOT use the alpha on a live, active site. Period. Seriously. Not kidding. It’s not a trick. Alphas are for testing purposes only. Objects may be closer than they appear.

If you ignore this warning, you are on your own.

The rewritten links have zero to do with cookies. The rewrite rules are not working for you on GoDaddy (ed: was Dreamhost here). Have you browsed other people’s experience by following that godaddy tag?

[chrishajer]

My completely uninformed guess is … no. I wouldn’t wait. Install something and see how it goes.

If you log in here, you can see the number of open tickets by milestone: https://trac.bbpress.org/report/3 . There are quite a few open for 1.0. Also, there hasn’t been a 1.0 beta or release candidate either. So, just my guess, no.

[beernews]

any chance this becomes stable this week?

i’m antsy to add a forum to my blog but dont know if i should wait for the stable version?

[chrishajer]

Regarding permalinks, you will find lots of people expressing some problem with permalinks on GoDaddy. Just check the tag for other discussions.

That .htaccess would not work for the forum directory. That just looks like the WordPress rewrite rules changed slightly for your forum directory. You need to follow these directions:

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

[chrishajer]

Norvu, those version are incompatible. You don’t integrate the cookies. If you want integrated logins, you need to use bbPress 0.9.* with WordPress 2.5 or bbPress Alpha with WordPress 2.6.

OK, on the second issue, if I am already logged into WP but not bbPress, the link at the forum page works. So it is being logged into one or the other but not both at the same time. Oh..hum

WordPress version 2.6.2 and bbPress version 0.9.0.2

[eschen]

I installed bbPress 0.9.0.2 and tried to integrate with WP 2.5 site. The two are at http://www.my-site/forum and http://www.mysite/blog under the root directory. I have two issues:

First is with permalinks set to the default (/forum.php?id=1), no problem, I can view profiles and posts within bbPress. However if I use either of the other settings for a permalink, when I click on any profile or post topic within admin control panel or site view, I only get a blank page, no error. Example: the post should be at “forum/post-name”, which is exactly where the link takes me but a blank page exists. However I can view the user profiles registered at bbPress within the WP admin area, so I believe the two are at least partially integrated.

The host is GoDaddy and there are no problems with WP permalinks. I have tried the using the following htaccess code with the /forum directory:

# BEGIN bbPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /forum/index.php [L]

</IfModule>

Also just having one line:

Options +MultiViews

Also the exact code generated at bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php

Second issue is after login to bbPress, a simple link to the WP admin requests me to login again. Does this take more than a simple link to “…/blog/wp-admin/”? I have checked the cookies and both look identical.

Thanks for any help

[chrishajer]

Have you tried with a different browser? I have seen a weird problem that I can’t consistently reproduce where after submitting info to the login form, it just redirects to the login form. I was able to log in with a different browser once before, and I haven’t seen the problem since.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-10-alpha/page/2#post-19153

[chrishajer]

Norvu – what versions of bbPress and WordPress are you using?

[chrishajer]

If you click the tag integration, you will see lots of people discussing it.

What do you mean by integration?

[chrishajer]

matchfox: did you already try this?

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

If your site works without permalinks, it’s most definitely an issue with the rewrite rules.

[kchealy]

I am hosting a site with bluehost. I installed bbpress with simplescripts. Although the installation seems to have gone correctly, I cannot log in. Every time I try, I’m just taken back to the log in page with no error message.

This is a standalone install – I have not attempted to integrate it with my wordpress install.

[keress]

You were right about the templates. I used Dreamhost’s webftp client to move my wordpress site. It tells you to create the folder first. I took that to mean the main folders, and didn’t create all the many subfolders. I’m assuming that had something to do with why our template folder was not quite there. I could see it in webftp, but my ftpclient on my computer wasn’t showing it. Once I’d ftp’d all the files back, the site reappeared.

Dreamhost is saying that can’t happen, but that’s what I experienced.

Thanks for the help.

I was thinking this might have something to do with the fact that when I log in through the WP admin, I do not have access to the bbpress admin interface (though I show up as logged in as admin there, and can do admin functions that are on the forum pages etc). I need to login through bbpress to be able to access the bbpress admin. But this DOES allow me access to the WP admin too (as it should).

[blankpoint]

I have a WordPress 2.6.2 installation (xxxxxxx.com) sharing a user tables with bbPress 1.0 Alpha (xxxxxxx.com/forum). There are two separate databases, and bbPress uses the user tables from the WP database. The installations are integrated, but something strange is happening.

If I try to integrate WordPress into bbpress (I need to for everything I am doing), using the following call at the beginning of bb-config.php:

require_once(‘/homepages/15/d202815449/htdocs/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);

then my keymaster accounts immediately become admin accounts (and lose the admin tabs of “design”, “settings”, and so on in the admin interface). They show up as admins instead of keymasters on the user page in bb-admin. As soon as I take the call to wp-blog-header.php out again, the accounts go back to keymaster status. Any idea why this could be happening?

Plugins not activating in alpha

Problem is verbatim to what that poster experienced though I’m confused as to whether it was actually resolved.

I am using Alpha Unstable 1.0. Maybe I need to go down to the last stable version (or maybe Alpha 1 will become stable this week?!).

[Michael Pratt]

FIXED IT – Mostly.

It did not like my div=main being a position: relative. So that took care of that. At least in IE6 and FF2. I will check FF3 later.

The one problem is the search results page. That pesky drop down menu is still hiding the nav bar dropdown ONLY IN IE6.

My problem is that I can not find where to modify that.

ANY HELP???

And to answer the other question about the TAGS,

Yes that is intentional as far as hovering over one and others “light up”. I am playing with it and may or may not keep it. It is the Enhanced Tag Heat Map plugin found here –

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/enhanced-tag-heat-map/#post-954

Like I said, may or may not keep it.

[chrishajer]

WordPress 2.6.* is not compatible with bbPress 0.9.0.2. The alpha bbPress release is cookie-compatible with WordPress 2.6.* and the 1.0 release will be compatible as well.

The solution is to use compatible versions of the software.

chrishajer,

Thanks for the response and input, I appreciate it.

The spelling error is corrected.

The Ryan Newman News And Information page is completely separate from the Racing News Digest.

I started Racing News Digest as a little project just for me….and of course that is not what it is now.

But Racing News Digest is currently at

http://racingnews.ryannewmaninfo.info and the forums are at http://racingnews.ryannewmaninfo.info/forum/.

You can currently access that site through http://racingnewsdigest.com and my next project is to get it off the ryannewmaninfo.info domain an get it onto racingnewsdigest.com.

Now, as far as the drop down menus.

I am using IE6 and Firefox 2.

I am a little stumped on this. I don’t see the problem at all on the Ryan Newman Information site.

I do see the problem at the RND forums though. It seems to disappear at the start of the forum page or more specifically where something starts on the forum page (like words or a form or something.)

But this problem does not exist on the RND site.

I COULD REALLY USE SOME SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THIS. That would really be appreciated but I will keep working on that today while watching the race!!!

The signature, I agree, I just got it in there for testing and playing. My signature will probably have a little more in it.

Also the social network icon don’t have links. I figured people could go to the profile page to access someones info.

The social networking deal is something I modified from bbsocialize. You can check that out here.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/enhanced-profile

Maybe I will at least add a link to the profile page in there.

Thanks for any help or comments you may have.
