Hello, I have installed bbPress at one of my websites (in a subdirectory called “forums” – i.e. bbPress is installed at mydomain.com/forums/).

I’m trying to set up Lighttpd URL rewrite rules now in order to achieve SEO friendly permalinks.

I have tried to google a little bit but the only thing I have found is this:

"^/forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => "/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2",

"^/forum/([^/]+)/?$" => "/forum.php?id=$1",

"^/topic/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => "/topic.php?id=$1&page=$2",

"^/topic/([^/]+)/?$" => "/topic.php?id=$1",

"^/tags/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => "/tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2",

"^/tags/([^/]+)/?$" => "/tags.php?tag=$1",

"^/tags/?$" => "/tags.php",

"^/profile/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => "/profile.php?id=$1&page=$2",

"^/profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" => "/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2",

"^/profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => "/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3",

"^/profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/favorites/?$" => "/profile.php?id=$1&tab=favorites",

"^/profile/([^/]+)/?$" => "/profile.php?id=$1",

"^/view/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => "/view.php?view=$1&page=$2",

"^/view/([^/]+)/?$" => "/view.php?view=$1",

"^/rss/?$" => "/rss.php",

"^/rss/forum/([^/]+)/?$" => "/rss.php?forum=$1",

"^/rss/topic/([^/]+)/?$" => "/rss.php?topic=$1",

"^/rss/tags/([^/]+)/?$" => "/rss.php?tag=$1",

"^/rss/profile/([^/]+)/?$" => "/rss.php?profile=$1"

Could anybody tell me how to edit it taking into consideration the subfolder where the bbPress is installed?

My current Lighttpd rewrite rules in config file are bellow:

url.rewrite-once = (

"^/(wp-.+).*/?" => "$0",

"^/images/.*/?" => "$0",

"^/forums/.*/?" => "$0",

"^/temp/.*/?" => "$0",

"^/(sitemap.xml)" => "$0",

"^/(xmlrpc.php)" => "$0",

"^/keyword/([A-Za-z_0-9-]+)/?$" => "/index.php?keyword=$1",

"^/.*?(?.*)?$" => "/index.php$1"

)

I am working on a new bbPress theme (dubbed “Ministry”) and would like your opinion. Especially on the color side of things: is it too light? etc. Anyway, here is the link.

Once done, I will be releasing this theme. There will be a matching WordPress theme as well.

Thanks in advance.

So I deactivated the plugins. One at a time and retested and retested with both unplugged and it still wouldn’t post a new topic from the “home” page of the forum.

This still only appears to be an issue of posting from the home page? Is it possible that the “add new topic” link on the home page is tied to a forum that doesn’t exist anymore?

How does bbpress decide which forum to put a new topic into when it is started from the home page? Does it give you a drop down box to pick the forum?

thanks.

I’ve created a custom user system for a website and am looking for a forum solution; a friend recommended bbPress to me. However, I need to be able to integrate bbPress so I have a single sign-on and registration point.

Searching around, I’ve found that I’ll need to write a plugin that overrides some of the functions in bb-includes/pluggable.php. All right, sure. This is my first time working with bbPress (no WordPress experience either), so I might as well ask those with more experience in case there’s any advice that could make this easier for me.

I manage authentication through a single cookie with a login_key. This is a randomly-generated string of characters that gets stored in the user’s row in the users table. Each time the user signs in, the site generates a new key and stores that in the table and the cookie.

The users table itself contains fields similar to those of bb_users: id, username, email, first_name, last_name, etc. So integration seems to be a matter of getting bbPress to check for my login_key cookie, and if the cookie is valid, load the data from my users table instead of from bb_users. I’m not concerned about registration, profiles or password changes, since those are all handled by the site on a larger level (although if I could disable those parts of bbPress, that would be helpful).

Looking at pluggable.php, I’ll need to override wp_validate_auth_cookie() and bb_current_user() at the very least. Any other guidance?

I’m using Transition Towns bbPress forum and I cannot see a page of instructions anywhere – either there or here – about using code for those who are a little unfamiliar perhaps? I don’t understand your “allowed markup” below, if this is it. I want to put hyperlinks in but hide the URL, and the phpBB system [url=http://website_URL]website[/url] evidently doesn’t work here.

[dragosbogdan]

I’ve been trying to follow this thread that has a patch to display the temporary password for users who have just registered with my forums:

Users dont receive password after registration

the code in my file is different then what pravin said to change in bb-includes/registration-functions.php. i just can’t figure out what needs to be changed.

is this technique outdated? I’m running bbpress 0.9.0.2. i would really like to do this as my mail server from my crappy host gets blacklisted often and registration emails get caught in spam filters.

i also know i should add some stuff to my SPF records, but 1) i’m not really sure how to do that (that’s a different thread though) and 2) i’d like to display the passwords at registration anyway.

please help!

You can contact me off list if you would like assistance setting up bbPress on your server. Find my contact details on the website linked to my profile.

[moomag]

Well finally I have got BBPress and WP talking to one another (hurrah!) but I would like to know if it is possible to open BBPress inside a WP Page so my current WP site wraps around the forum?

Is this possible and if so could some kind soul please tell me how to do it

Thank you!

We use user_login to identify users in display.

user_nicename is used for the url in the user’s profile page when using pretty permalinks. It is basically the user_login filtered to conform to URL standards.

display_name is not populated in bbPress at the moment.

If you need to pre-moderate new topics/posts, there’s a great plugin for that here

If the subject matter is political/contentious, this can be a useful tool

[jldean]

You need to create a MySQL database, and then set that in the bb-config file, under MySQL settings. It will need to know the username for your database too.

If you’re unclear about setting up a MySQL database on your server, you might need to get bbpress installed for you…

[testpilot]

Cheers for the fix.

However, I managed to reproduce this exact error on my bbpress forum (version 0.9.0.2 with the suggested changeset 556). But strangely, only on my work pc (firefox 3 and IE7). From my home pc and on localhost the login redirects fine.

Just thought I’d point out that it still may be a potential problem.

i see, it would be a great help if we could write on, im no attorney but wth, i need one, my website was suspended! and im no native american you know, so i need help with this one…

chrishajer, maybe if you could put here a copy, and we try to make it worth for bbpress…

whatcha think?

[chrishajer]

Would this work?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/

[chrishajer]

It does sound like it’s a filter in bbPress then, and TinyMCE is not at fault. Not sure where that happens in bbPresss, but I would think looking at the “Admin can post anything” plugin might offer some clues.

[rickboyce]

Chris – thanks for the response.

With the admin can post anything plugin enabled it works fine (both through WYSIWYG and through the standard text area.

So I guess that means it’s a filter in BBPress. I can’t figure out why it is happy with stuff like background-color: but not color:

Cheers,

R

Hola,

Debes configurar el idioma de bbPress como “es_ES” y automáticamente el plugin debiese utilizar el lenguaje que incluyo. Si no es así no sabría decirte el por qué de la falla.

[ccraine]

I cannot access my admin since I turned on integration with wordpress. I have the latest versions of wordpress and bbpress. Everything worked great until I turned on integration and now I can’t get to the admin area at all. It just redirects me back to the main bbpress page.

anyone know how to fix this?

Or can someone tell me how to manually shut down integration in the files without admin access?

[chrishajer]

I think you might have better luck at the TinyMCE forum. It’s not a bbPress problem, (unless it’s a filter stripping out the tags) but something TinyMCE is doing with your span tags.

http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/

I suspect though that it’s got to do with the rules for span elements. The XHTML ruleset allows style but I’m not sure why it strips out the color. Or, are you filtering this through something in bbPress that would strip that out? (in WordPress, I think kses handles that.) Can you post spans with a color style as administrator? How about the ‘admin can post anything’ plugin?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/

If the admin can post the <span style="color: #ff0000;">, WYSIWYG or not, then it’s likely a filter in bbPress that is stripping that code out.

[wanrenqingkong]

thanks， it’s working

[bobbyh]

Nice work, Familia.

Obviously, it’s appropriate for you to post about your bbPress site in the Pimp My Press forum…

After lots of mucking about in PHP, CSS, and Javscript, we’ve launched our first bbPress-based site:

http://www.thepoolparties.com/

Thanks to the various plug-in authors who made things easier for us!

[rickboyce]

I’ve written a WYSIWYG plugin for my BBPress install. It replaces the standard textarea with the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor based on an option in the user profile.

I’ve incorporated code from Michael D Adams’ ‘Allow Images’ plugin and extended it a little to include paragraph <p> tags and <span> tags.

Everything is working fine, except for one issue that is driving me mad.

When a span with color set in it’s style attribute set, the color: gets stripped out. For example <span style=”color: #ff0000;”> becomes <span style=””>.

I can’t figure this out for the life of me! Other CSS attributes are fine, for example text-align:, background-color:, text-decoration: all work fine.

I’ve tried the following two bits of code with no success:

1. $tags = array(‘style’ => array());

2. $tags = array(‘style’ => array(‘color’ => array()));

Does anyone know if there is a way I can modify this behavior?

This is my first attempt at a plugin, so apologies if I’m missing something obvious here!

Thanks,

Rick

FWIW it seems the issue is not related to bbPress but to any form text input on any system with a submit button.
