I’m having what looks to be a common problem, my forum has no style in Firefox.

I read up on this post:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/themes-in-firefox#post-5089

and it seems I need to change a backslash to a forward slash, I just can’t figure out where the offending backslash is located. What file do I need to look at to find and change this backslash?

Thanks!

OK – I still don’t see those actual line numbers in that release (in fact bb_settings.php has only 209 lines.) So, can you open up /home/www/web316/html/ps-t/bb-settings.php and post line 294 (maybe a couple before and after as well) and /home/www/web316/html/ps-t/bb-includes/pluggable.php and post lines 193 and 231. The code on those lines will help point the way to solving these problems.

My hunch is this is related to the glob issue and there being no underscore plugins in a bb-plugins directory. Because there are no plugins that begin with an underscore, and due to problems with the way the glob function is tested for, an error like this can occur.

You can try installing this plugin to see if it fixes your error, even though the line numbers and messages really don’t match up:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-benchmark/

I think you can also just create a bb-plugins directory in your installation root, then in it create a file called something like _nothing.php – I think that also causes this block of code to NOT fail, so you wouldn’t see these warnings.

Put it here:

/home/"mywordpressblogsname"/public_html/bbpress/

Then in config.php set bb->uri:

$bb->uri = 'http://"mywordpressblogsname"/bbpress/';

(assuming your blog is visible at http://”mywordpressblogsname”/ not http://”mywordpressblogsname”/public_html)

You can name the bbpress folder whatever you want. Sometimes people call it forums. Just be sure to change it to the same thing in config.php.

At first I uploaded the folder bbpress-0.8.3.1.zip to

/home/”mywordpressblogsname”/public_html/wp-content /plugins

where I unzipped it and modified the necessary files. Obviously, that didn’t work, as it’s not a plugin (I think I was on autopilot, as I’ve only installed plugins up to now).

So, where do I upload bbpress to exactly? I have some ideas, but I’d rather get some help than bumble around again.

FYI I am not integrating my forum users with my wordpress blog users (actually, my blog doesn’t allow user login at all).

Thanks!

this file here i think ists the 0.8.3.1

I do some more testing:

if i use the “bb_is_user_logged_in() )” Function on the entry site it returns false every time. but if I go to the register.php wich uses the same function for displaying the content it shows: “You’re already logged in, why do you need to register?”

If I now go back to the front page by clicking a link on the register page, bbPress recognize that I’am logged in. Due this process I never used the “Log in” Button of the Forum. I was justed logged in by my WP Site.

Another test:

If I login thru my bbPress site all works fine. But if i go back to my WP Site and return to the Forum I have to log in again…

My name is Göran but when I test bbPress and use my name as username I am called Gran and when I try to use Göran to get around the problem I get Goumlran as my name. How can I solve this? I want users to be able to use their real names including all Swedish letters.

Aha! That error string comes from a much older version of the plugin — please can you try installing the latest version and see if you still have errors?

Latest Version: 0.8.3

thanks _ck_

But the problem is that if i logged in into my WP Site and go to the Forums my login form shows up instead of the welcome message.

But if i go directly to a forum typing “forum.php?id=2” i see the forum, can make new topics and instead of the login form i see the welcome message.

So it seems like the cookies are set and working correct with bbpress but the view has any problems… same problem in the standard Theme. Private Forums Plugin is not the problem. I try to edit the config files like in the other threads but that doesn’t help and I installed all integration Plugins for bb and wp.

Thanks for the pointer to the “Custom Profile Fields” plugin, never saw it before.

As for the “Use Display Name” plugin, I think that only works on a WordPress-integrated install, and I’m trying to get it to work on a BBPress only site. Any ideas?

[chrishajer]

TJworld, did you try sambauers plugin:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13337

And is it just registration emails with the password people are not receiving?

[chrishajer]

There is a “Use Display Name” plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/

There was also a “Custom Profile Fields” plugin, but I don’t know if it still works or is being maintained:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress did you download? I can’t match up those line numbers at all.

[sensifreak]

Hi on the main page of bbpress i have got this error message

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/web316/html/ps-t/bb-settings.php on line 294

and when i want to login this

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/web316/html/ps-t/bb-settings.php on line 294

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/web316/html/ps-t/bb-settings.php:294) in /home/www/web316/html/ps-t/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 193

I’ve just encountered this with 0.8.3.1. As the mail server administrator I was getting delivery failure notifications which reported that the receiving SMTP host had rejected the email with:

<xxxxx@aol.com>: host mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57] said: 501 SYNTAX

ERROR IN PARAMETERS OR ARGUMENTS (in reply to MAIL FROM command)

I increased logging on Postfix and tested it and found:

mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57]: MAIL FROM:<yyyyyyyy@localhost>

mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57]: 501 SYNTAX ERROR IN PARAMETERS OR ARGUMENTS

Where ‘yyyyyyyy’ is the mail server’s local user account for the domain doing the sending.

It looks as if the AOL server is rejecting the @localhost part of the MAIL FROM field. I’ve looked in the bbPress config.php and in the administration options of the dashboard but can’t see why bbPress is using localhost.

Wow _ck_ is so fast at giving answers.

[rkudeshi]

I am trying to transition from an Invision Power Board-hosted forum to a BBPress version, but need a few features to ensure all features are kept in the new version.

Basically, I want people to be able to add more information to their profile information. Occupation and location aren’t relevant to me, but other things (its for a college discussion forum, so year and major are more helpful) would be.

It’s a bit of a tangent, but I also would like to have one of the added fields (Real Name) be the primary name displayed in threads, but I figure that’s another project for another day — alternatively, is there a plugin to allow individuals to change their display name?

Thanks so much for your help everyone!

Thanks for posting that _ck_.

How can download this theme… access denied. Hosed up. Gawd.

Registration is closed for a while… sorry!

[michaelklasno]

I have a bbpress installed and working but I don’t get new user notifications. This is a stand alone application.

Any help?

[darkling235]

does anyone know the bbpress equivalent of wordpress’s get_bloginfo function?

Thanks

it’s probably better to stick to the forums.

Hello,

First of all, I would like to extend my thanks for this great and simple tool. I have been modifying the initial theme of my bbpress from its installation earlier today. Now the only thing which has me stumped, is how can I change the alternating background color (the white and green background), so that lets say I can change the white into another color?

If its in the style.css section, I cant find it.
