Regarding the glob thing – you are going to need the same sort of fix for the glob anywhere it’s used in bbPress since your host disabled it. You would have to grep through all the code and say something like:

if ( function_exists( 'glob' ) && is_callable( 'glob' ) ) {

whatever test that used to use glob;

}

Not sure the best way to deal with that.

[jompen8]

Doh:

I got this error when i clicked on Site management on bbpress:

Warning: glob() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/vol2/byethost13.com/b13_1521748/htdocs/wordpress/bbpress/bb-admin/plugins.php on line 7

maybe u know ,chrishajer?

Is it something i can download like the fisrt erro I got?

[rosebud]

I would like to know if there is a particular template tag to check (in profile for example) what user that profile belongs to.

i.e if is user id=x then do sth.

It might sound strange, given that the profile already takes care of this. But I need to add some data to only a few users, and that data can’t be “user-editable”. If this could be done with the custom profile fields plugin (add some fields which are only admin editable) then, please, instruct me.

Otherwise, I just need to hardcode the data for these few users.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, the URL is wrong in the config. The URL should be http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/ for the location of your bbPress installation, and http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress for the location of your WordPress installation (if you are planning on integrating user logins.)

The link or button you put in your WordPress installation should point here: http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/. You can delete page 24 in WordPress (unless you want to use a WordPress redirect plugin to have an actual WordPress page, so the link appears easily in your navigation – just redirect it to http://www.jompen8.byethost13.com/wordpress/bbpress/).

Once that is all sorted, you will have a forum installation accessible from WordPress, but it will look nothing like your blog theme. There’s more work involved in making that happen, copying over the header and footer and sidebar and making the forum look like the blog. It’s all doable, it just takes time and energy and some CSS and HTML skills (maybe some PHP too.)

First get it in the proper location, accessible at the proper URL, then worry about getting it to look like you want. Because bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress, it is not going to look like your blog pages at all without some work.

[chrishajer]

A moderator will come along (Trent) and delete that. He hasn’t logged in in a while. There’s not much else you can do at this point.

[jompen8]

oh I missed your message before my last one.

“It looks like you made bbPress a page inside your WordPress installation?”

Yes, I´m afraid.

So maybe the full-url is wrong in the config-file? Do I have to reinstall the whole thing then? And what should the full-url-thing be next time.

I tested right now to create a page (the URL to my forum) and that worked But as u see u cant do anything when u are there.

I´m really confused right now,doh.

I just want to have a forum, a link to it in the menu, it should be integrated (not just for itself, it should be like a new page)

Is this possible? its feels hopeless.

//Johan

[chrishajer]

At this URL I see a blank forum WordPress page that has a title of “Forum”:

http://jompen8.byethost13.com/?page_id=24

That’s not how it works. You need to have the bbPress directory inside the WordPress folder. It looks like WordPress runs the whole site, so your forum will be available at http://jompen8.byethost13.com/bbpress/ .

To get to the forum, you need to make a link in your navigation to “Forum” (just like there is now) but it won’t be a WordPress page, it will just be the URL of your forum (http://jompen8.byethost13.com/forum/).

bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress and it won’t look like your WordPress installation (with header, footer, sidebar and style) unless you do some work.

[chrishajer]

That’s the best setup for integration, with the bbPress directory a subdirectory of the WordPress directory. The thing that threw me was that this is still a valid (if somewhat broken) URL:

http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/

I think the integration needs to happen up front, in the config.php, since an integrated install modifies the wp_users table and does not create a bb_users table. I’m not sure if you can go back and edit the config to make it integrated later. I don’t think it would work since the table creation and modification are done upon installation.

[chrishajer]

It looks like you made bbPress a page inside your WordPress installation? I’d say that’s incorrect in your config. Or, does that page_id 24 just redirect to a forum URL??

[jompen8]

Thank u ! the installation worked!

BUT! I have one problem:

I wanted my forum to be at http://jompen8.byethost13.com/?page_id=24/

Morgan. The only plugin we have in common is bbPress Integration. I didnt install its counter part on the bbPress side untill after things started getting wonky.

Is there an uninstall method for bbsync? I wouldn’t mind uninstalling and starting over.

This is a sideproject I’ve been working on for a while that I put into production very recently. It’s a web site for students where they can collaborate on assignments, share work, get work reviewed, ask questions etc. When I was an undergrad I always wanted a site like this; unfortunately, there really wasn’t one available. So, once I graduated (about 2 months ago), I decided to start putting one together.

The site is run on BBPress. The theme is completely custom, and it required lots of tweaking – both to template files and to some core files to get it to work more or less how I wanted. If you have any questions about how I did something with this theme let me know.

Also, if I may plug it, I had an idea for a unique advertising model (I think) that I couldn’t let go to waste – inspired by the million dollar homepage by Alex Tew… the entire background of the site is available as adspace for a measly $64.00 per square… the ads would create a mosaic that the content would overlay – becoming a part of the site’s design.

[johnwade]

Some success. I found where things were getting stopped up. In the config section looking for “what are you going to call me” (By now I had a few choice words.) I included an apostrophe. When I removed it, the installation went smoothly and I can get into the admin side of things.

Can I now, after the fact integrate with wordpress by making the changes in the config file? Or is it plugin time. bbpress is inside the folder containing the wp files.

[chrishajer]

Interesting (16:12 CST):

Your bbPress URL (http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/) is not a subdirectory of your WordPress URL (http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate).

Sharing login cookies is possible but is more complicated. See the documentation about integrating bbPress and WordPress.

In the meantime, remove the http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate setting from your config.php file, or you may not be able to log in.

[chrishajer]

I’ve heard of this problem recently but have not seen a solution.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rss-result-is-empty#post-13571

I thought I saw something regarding RSS checked into the code around revision 1044 – 1046 so maybe it’s fixed in development:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1045

[fooddude]

I’m running bbpress 0.8.3.1 integrated into my wordpress 2.3.3. BBPress is in the same database as my WordPress. The problem is, I can’t get a feed from the front page. If I point Feedburner or whatever to bbpress, it discovers a feed (wordpressblog/bbpress/rss.php), but it returns a not valid error. If I go to it in my browser, I get a blank page.

I’ve tried reinstalling bbpress, and switching to the default theme to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?

[chrishajer]

There are lots of people out there who know how to fix it.

I think the problem you are having related to glob() is fixed in revsion 1075. I would download that as a zip archive. It works around the fact that glob is not available on some servers.

You can download any revision you want right here (look at the bottom of the page for zip archive and download that, when you find r1075.)

There is a quick fix also:

thanks for the info. Have installed and sync’ed WordPress and BBpress on xammp now. Really there is nothing like an install you can play with without worrying about it all crashing

Re the integration plugins with security issues, what is the situation with those?

Meant, drop and I’ve started over. WordPress went fine. bbpress went into a folder called forum and got this error:

What do you mean by dump? It doesn’t look like there’s anything there to save, so I would drop the tables and start over by letting WordPress and bbPress create new tables in the database with the proper (different) table prefixes (from your configs.)

[johnwade]

I was just reading the cookie reference as to the forum being placed inside the wp folder. I don’t know how I missed that in the installation instructions. I know I was supposed to provide a path.

All in all, a strong arguement for starting from scratch and inserting the bbpress folder into the wp folder. Will update shortly.

[chrishajer]

Interesting…

I don’t know why it would redirect to the home page vs. giving you a failed login attempt. I registered, received my email, tried logging in, and it seemed like it just redirected to the front page of the forum again.

Is the WordPress installation going to be here:

http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate/ ?

If so, with integration, the bbPress installation should be here then (I believe):

http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate/Forums/

but it’s actually here:

http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/

I wonder if the cookie path is wrong and that prevents bbPress from setting the proper cookie and thus thinks you’re not logged in, or that you logged back out since there is no valid cookie?

I checked the cookies that were set and I have a cookie path of /puppyplaydate/ for wordpressuser and wordpresspass. I would expect the cookie path to be /Forums/ with this setup.

As a test, I just stopped accepting cookies for my site (integrated with WordPress as well), then tried logging in. If I tried to log in while I was viewing a forum, it just silently redirected me to the forum home page. This seems like confirmation that it’s a cookie issue at this point. I can make mine do what yours is doing.

If I set the 2 cookies manually in Firefox, I am logged in! Check this out:

Screenshot of me logged into your forum:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ppd-profile.png

Screenshot of the cookies I manually set (note path /Forums/):

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ppd-cookies.png

Here is the response from your server where it tries to set the cookies with a path of /puppyplaydate/:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/ppd-response.txt

HTH

[_ck_]

Integration works fine.

If you are using WordPress 2.3.x you need bbPress 0.8.3.x and if you are using WordPress trunk (2.5 alpha) you should use bbPress trunk r1075.

Essentially cookie hashes and paths have to be sync’ed and a plugin is needed on the bbPress side to set WordPress roles if they register through bbPress.

I’ve assembled most of the details here:

Or you can comb through the integration tag here:
