I’m not sure what the best bbPress revision is for using WordPress 2.5RC1. I think when WordPress 2.5 comes out, there will be a new bbPress release to match up with it. I know WordPress 2.5 was scheduled for March 10th but that’s been held up just a little bit.

[chrishajer]

You need to determine if your host supports an .htaccess file, and if it does, you need to know if it supports mod_rewrite in the file. Maybe your host has a support page where you can find that information out. Since your website is running on Apache, it is possible you can use mod_rewrite and pretty permalinks or slugs.

Did you already try both methods of setting up permalinks described here?

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

[creasy]

Hey,

as the password is stored in a different way in WordPress 2.5 (RC1) you can’t log in with bbpress anymore (if u integrated both which i did).

Until the next version of bbpress comes out, what do I need to update to make this work again?

Thanks so much in advance!

[3ring]

WoooHooo!!

Thanks _ck_! That worked sweet. Didn’t even need to touch .htaccess.

I just donated $20 through your donate button. Sweet bbpress site by the way.

Thanks again so much.

Also, thanks for the offer, chrishajer, I really appreciate it.

For anyone who wants to know how to do that quickly, just go to your config.php file and make the following line of code look like this:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

(problem code was: $bb->mod_rewrite = slug;)

Oh, goodie! I’ve already upgraded one of my sites to 2.5 and I love it, but another is integrated with WP (after much heartache and pain) and I don’t want to upgrade if it’s going to break it!

[chrishajer]

Is it possible the files were corrupted upon uploading? Seems like it’s a server configuration thing, not even related to PHP or CGI. You should be able to view this file, for example, but you cannot:

http://www.kreativoase.at/taufkerze/forum/bb-images/bbpress.png

In fact, it’s an internal server error code 500, but the server is configured to show this error message, which might be misleading. If you have access to error logs, that will help determine what’s causing the 500 error.

If it’s something applying to that directory and all lower lever directories, maybe there is a problem with the .htaccess file (if you are using one) in the forum directory. Do you have a proper .htaccess file? Please post the content here. I am starting to think an error in the .htaccess file is the problem for it to cause a 500 error on the forum directory or any subdirectory you try to access.

Permalinks on false is good.

bbPress does not need its own database, but it does need a database, and the table prefix will be bb_ by default. So long as that doesn’t conflict with any other tables you already have, it’s OK to use an existing database.

[proko]

Hi,

i have installed how it will be described in the documentation.

When i go to my install.php (http://www.kreativoase.at/taufkerze/forum/bb-admin/install.php) I am getting this:

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Your administrator may not have enabled CGI access for this directory.

I have CGI on my webserver. I looked in my database. There are no new tables. This is the same database where my wordpress is.

What can I do? I have the permalinks on “false”.

Must I install bbpress in a own database?

I’ve had problems with godaddy hosting and with other applications in the past. (caching of htaccess files)

What if you took a copy of bbpress/db and created a local test site and see if things work properly? (xampplite)

Hey Chrishajer;

1. Yes, the conversations are still there – topics are listed and viewable in phpmyadmin – see this update post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/will-pay-to-get-our-forum-fixed

2. Host is Godaddy – not sure if they changed any php configs… I tried adding “Options +Multiview” to the .htaccess – no luck. Again please see this update post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/will-pay-to-get-our-forum-fixed

Hello All;

I have posted my problem in this post: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/had-50-topics-now-getting-no-input-file-specified-error

…but I’m not getting any help, the problem is getting weirder and I need this fixed ASAP, so I’m willing to pay anyone who can help me.

Our forum at http://www.eidolonai.com/forum/ has been working for months, now when you click to view a topic you get a “No input file specified” error. I tried reinstalling, shutting off plugins, everything, with no luck. I then thought there might be something in the most recent post that was causing the problem. So, I went into the database with phpmyadmin and deleted the most recent post (titled: “Eidolon finished?”) Now, as you can see – that post is still in the list – AFTER I deleted it from the DB???

So, if anyone can figure this out and get our forum running – I’ll pay your price.

Please reply here and I’ll get back to you.

Most of this code was taken directly from the bbsync plugin (I’ve attempted to remove need for configuration, and some of the bbsync functionality/flexibility).

There are really truly NO errors logged anywhere for this.

here is my plugin in it’s entirety:

define('CRBBFORUMID', 1);



function cr_post($post_id) {

global $bbdb, $wpdb, $current_user;



require (dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../bbpress/config.php');

Thank you for the help. So what I did was take my original WordPress template and put it in the templates folder and it gave me this:

http://vistarewired.com/test2/wp-content/bbpress/

This is what I want except I want to center it, add some grey boxes behind it and that is pretty much it. How do I do this? Because I’m using the same CSS I used for my original blog template which is at http://vistarewired.com

Howdy,

WordPress 2.3.3

bbPress latest from yesterday

Wordpress Integration

I’ve created a very simple wordpress plugin to attempt to allow wordpress posts and comments to also be put in a bbPress forum.

When I make a post and my plugin attempts to:

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../bbpress/bb-load.php');

I get a blank page, and the post/comment does not get sent to bbpress. I’ve have traced this to the point where bb-settings.php calls this line:

require( BBPATH . BBINC . 'template-functions.php');

but no matter what I put in template-functions.php (even writing to a file), I get the blank page.

I’ve checked all my error logs, and there are no errors being logged, not even a 500 error. I’m at my wits end, and late on this project, please help.

Thanks,

Christopher

When running the install script, after only changing the config.php I encounter the following:

I can complete the installation but every page I visit starts with

I think if you wait until bbPress 0.9 is released and integrate it with WordPress 2.5, things will be a lot easier.

Hi!

I want to integrate bbpress into my wordpress blog complete!

that means :

• When you login into wordpress you have to be logged in in bbpress the same time! (for write threads and wp comments with one login)
• I want that wordpress an bbpress look like one theme. So is it possible to show the normal wordpress sidebar in bbpress? and how?
• wich login menue i should use? (I want to integrate the login menue in the header of both themes )

I read a lot of things here with set cookie path etc but in PHP I’mnot “the best”!

The structure is like this.

The domain for the wordpress blog is http://www.example.com/blog/

and the Domain for the Forum is http://www.forum.example.com/

I think this thread is needed to make one real documentation for integration so the next with the problem don’t have to read 100 threads

I was checking my Google sitemap stats and saw this recently for my bbPress sitemap:

URLs not followed

When we tested a sample of the URLs from your

Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible

to Googlebot because they contained too many redirects.

Please change the URLs in your Sitemap that redirect

and replace them with the destination URL (the redirect

target). All valid URLs will still be submitted.

Further reading led to this:

http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=48551&hl=en

So my questions are:

1. What is the reason this is a 302 header (temporary redirect) vs a 301 header (permanent redirect)?

2. Can it be changed in the code or with a plugin to generate a 301 header so Google will follow the URLs?

3. If this is not possible, what would the proper permanent URL be for a tag URL like http://www.example.com/forum/tags.php?tag%3Dghosts

BTW, I am using the Sitemap plugin for bbPress by Richard Boakes. http://boakes.org/talk/topic/31

I can modify that to write the proper permanent URLs to the sitemap if that’s the easiest way to go about it. Or, maybe tags URLs should not even be in the sitemap (they are just pointers to content that exists elsewhere anyway.)

Thanks.

[chrishajer]

Which gaps are you talking about specifically? I see just one between the header and the forums, maybe. Then maybe between the top and those side images as well.

1. Don’t use tables for layout, use divs if you can.

2. Validate your layout CSS and HTML and fix those problems first.

http://validator.w3.org/ (XHTML needs some work)

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ (CSS is OK)

3. Looks like there was some cutting and pasting going on. The main problem, I think, is that there are tags for two tables there, but the top table (with this image gregjamesforum_01.jpg) is not really marked up as a table. There are no row and table data tags. So, that’s invalid. Then, a new table is started below. That’s why there’s a gap.

I would fix the improper markup and then put everything in one table (if you are going to continue using tables) so there is no gap between the two tables. That’s why there’s a gap beneath that top image right now.

Also, there is nothing in your problem that is specific to bbPress, so you can seek support at any CSS/HTML forum as well if there’s not enough help forthcoming here.

Hi guys,

I am currently looking into deploying a site powered by WordPress. I have a phpBB3 forum (with no users) which I would like to keep. I have seen the wp-united plugin for phpBB3, but it isn’t currently being supported. The option of using bbPress seems good to me, but I would like a seamless and fully functional integration with both WordPress and WordPress MU.

If I have to ditch the phpBB3 for the functionality I desire I will do it. I know what my potential userbase will want (post count, ranks, avatars, signatures, embed pics/vids in post, search, PM, etc). For the view, I would like a topic and post count, last post, and a description of each forum. Also subforums would be nice too.

Right now I only have a rudimentary understanding of PHP, but I know HTML and CSS, so I could style the forum myself.

I am a big fan of open source software. I only feel that there isn’t enough cooperation in the open source world. It would be awesome to see some of the best open source projects come together to create a mega kickass platform. My ideal would be (Drupal – please don’t flame me for this one -,Wordpress, and phpBB3). Drupal for the management of pages and function, WordPress for the content publishing, and phpBB3 for the forum.

When I achieve proficiency with PHP I will try to develop a universal user/session platform where the login and session is unified with whatever software you decide to install on top of it. This would be an internal database, not an openly accessible one. I have heard of OpenID, but don’t know anything about it.

WordPress appears to be the best content publishing engine out there, hopefully they become the best forum out there too.

I too am jazzed about the prospects of a WordPress powered forum.

Any opinions, best way to learn PHP, etc?

BTW, this thread is starting to sound like the beginnings of a development group. Mods, plugins, and software to follow soon.

I have found this discussion very stimulating, and would like to participate in future developments. I could deploy a site to use as a testbed.
