Which is best to use for registering and logging in and out (for integrated sites, of course), the WP or bbPress pages?

thx

[chrishajer]

Not sure why, but you’re missing all the topic poster name stuff:

topic_poster

topic_poster_name

topic_last_poster

topic_last_poster_name

 

Maybe there was an error with the name you selected when you setup the forum? Maybe it didn’t like a special character or something?

It’s not a problem with the database but a problem with the data that’s being sent to create that first topic. I suspect there is a problem with the name that was entered. Do you know what that was?

[chrishajer]

It does. So far it appears the issue is that the IIS SMTP server doesn’t like something about the mail that’s being handed over from bbPress. Not sure what that is yet, but the SMTP server returns a 501 error then drops the connection. I need to find someone who is using IIS and has access to their logs to troubleshoot more thoroughly.

[chrishajer]

I suspect that IIS does not like something about the mail that’s being handed off by bbPress. Need someone with an IIS server and access to the SMTP logs that can help troubleshoot this.

I’m trying to be fairly aggressive with my bbPress integration into some WordPress pages. Our client wishes to see recent forum posts on specific subpages of the main site (which is WP). This works fine if I include bb-load in my wp-config.php file (as I’ve seen recommended) and then use some of the useful bbpress functions to integrate content. It works, that is, on the SUBPAGES.

Strangely, however, the site’s landing page blows up. It’s using the exact same header as the rest of the site’s subpages, and is not using any of bbpress’ functions itself (just includes the bb-load.php file because it’s in wp-config.php), but the same wp_list_pages function call in the header (used for navigation) that works just fine for the subpages gives me an infinite loop of this error on the landing page:

Warning: illegal offset type in [my-server-path-removed-here]/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 252

Removing bb-load.php from the wp-config.php file fixes this immediately.

Note that I am using WP configured to use a STATIC page for the landing page. Both the home page template and the subpage template in question immediately call get_header(). Nothing happens before that.

For now what I figure I’ll do is remove bb-load.php from the wp-config.php file and just include it exclusively in the subpage template I’m using for the pages I need forum stuff to show up.

I googled and haven’t seen anything like the problem I’m having anywhere else. I kind of think it might be something getting upset during the walker class’ traversal. Anyone got any bright ideas?

[starnet]

Beau,

Which files should you put this code on? I am also installing bbPress on a MU WordPress. I get the same error. I thought maybe it’s because of WP/MU not compatible with bbPress. I have the same install directories (WP/MU on root and bbPress on /forums/). And I am getting the same 404 error on user profile and post.

Thanks in advance

IIS 6.0

windows server 2003

the site is on a dedicated server. Not sure if it is a server setting or a synch issue / coding issue with bbpress and wpress.

after more testing here is what works currently.

– Wp lost password and new registration works fine now as far as emailing out.

– bbpress will email a notification when someone posts a new comment to your “favorites” topic

-bbpress will NOT email out a new registration or a lost password

Does that help in any to narrow it down?

[hollywoodgrind]

I’ve gone over the configuration file, and it all looks correct. I am installing in forums.nerdgrind.com, which I gave it’s own directory, so there is no wordpress installation sharing the forums directory. I’m not sure why I keep getting this error:

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ ”, , ”, ‘2008-01-16 00:57:55” at line 4]

INSERT INTO bb_topics (topic_title, topic_slug, topic_poster, topic_poster_name, topic_last_poster, topic_last_poster_name, topic_start_time, topic_time, forum_id) VALUES (‘Your first topic’, ‘your-first-topic’, , ”, , ”, ‘2008-01-16 00:57:55’, ‘2008-01-16 00:57:55’, 1)

The database is setup, and all other tables are created except this one. I am using the latest bbPress.

Coming back to this:

Are you using IIS 5 or 6 as the server? I started looking into it and it seems like the IIS SMTP server returns a 501 error when it receives the bbPress email. Is yours IIS?

The URL to the forum is: http://www.johnmayerfans.com/boards

The forum itself seems to be working the way it should. When I first created the config file I left the whole “integrating with wordpress” section blank. I didn’t fill it out. Then I filled it in once I found that the pretty slug permalinks weren’t working right. Once I did that the forums worked fine but then I couldn’t get into the main Admin dashboard.

Here’s my config file as it is now:

<?php

require_once(‘/home/26615/domains/johnmayerfans.com/html/blog/wp-blog-header.php’);

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘***************’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘******’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘*********’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘************’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.johnmayerfans.com/boards/&#8217;;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘JohnMayerFans.com Message Boards’;

// This must be set before you run the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘myemail@gmail.com’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks, set to ‘slugs’ if you want to use slug based pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = ‘slugs’;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = -8;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = ‘***************’; // Example: ‘0123456789ab’

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.johnmayerfans.com&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.johnmayerfans.com/blog&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

I’d say it was latin1 all along.

I’m not sure how well older versions of bbPress handled character sets. But it works properly now at least.

There are other factors that could have influenced things as well, but the permutations are a little too numerous to list.

[Thord D. Hedengren]

So it’s likely that my database was latin1 all along, when created in admin, since I haven’t touched it and the only thing that could have is bbPress’ install or upgrade script? I don’t understand why I didn’t get the problems after install then, since UTF8 was specified in config.php, while getting the problem after the upgrade forced me to change it to latin1 in config.php. Have I stumbled onto a bug, or is it something else?

Edit: I’m no database ninja, so sorry if I’m not getting things.

[vhilaire]

I installed bbPress and was able to get into the Admin dashboard right after installation. However once I changed the config file to talk to WordPress I can’t get to the bbPress admin dashboard anymore. It just redirects me to my bbPress homepage.

Any idea what’s causing the problem?

[Beau Lebens]

Background: Installed WPMU (at “/”) and bbPress (at “/forums/”), followed integration instructions (and tweaked to get it all working). I used my WP theme header.php and footer.php as the basis for a bbPress theme, and loaded the full WP engine into bbPress by putting this code in my config.php

// Load WordPress so we can use the same templates.

define('WP_BB', 'true');

require_once dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-blog-header.php';

Symptoms: Pages load just fine, and all appears successful, but, upon further inspection, all bbPress pages actually return a 404 error in the HTML headers (you can see this using FireBug, or using a HEAD command to the page). NOTE: This will also happen if you create custom pages (not WP “Pages”) that load the WordPress engine – they load fine, but actually throw a 404).

Explanation: What appears to be happening here, is that the page loads fine, because it is a real page. Internally however, WP doesn’t know about this page (because it’s a bbPress, or custom page), and so it assumes it’s a request for a permalink that it can’t resolve. Thus it throws a 404.

The internal rewrite system in WP allows you to add new rewrite rules, but appears to only like dealing with “internal” or WP-specific rules. If you add in what it refers to as “non_wp_rules”, then it doesn’t actually apply them (so it still throws a 404).

The FIX! on the code that I’m running, I have put the following WordPress plugin in place to add rules appropriate for my bbPress installation:

function mbob_flush_rewrites() {

global $wp_rewrite;

$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();

}

add_action('init', 'mbob_flush_rewrites');



function mbob_add_rewrites($wp_rewrite) {

add_rewrite_rule('forums/topic', 'forums/topic.php');

add_rewrite_rule('forums/forum', 'forums/forum.php');

add_rewrite_rule('forums', 'forums/index.php');

$wp_rewrite->rules = array_merge($wp_rewrite->non_wp_rules, $wp_rewrite->rules);

}

add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'mbob_add_rewrites');

NOTE: I have removed a lot of my bbPress installation as part of my integration, so I didn’t require any other rules to handle things like profile pages or tags – you probably will need to add them if you use those features.

Hopefully this will help someone else and prevent you from beating your head against a wall like I almost did

Thanks to sambauers for helping me out with this in #bbpress as well.

bbPress looks great on a mobile phone. Well it does on my Nokia N95 8gb anyway Downloads quick too. The future is mobile!

[Sam Bauers]

I assume that bbPress is in a sub-directory of your WordPress install?

Sounds like the rewrite rules are incorrectly set or the existing WordPress rules are somehow getting in the way of bbPress.

What type of permalinks are you using? Set that value to FALSE in your config.php if they are turned on and see if this still happens. I think that will narrow it down a bit.

[Sam Bauers]

bbPress will create tables using the character set and collation specified in the config.php file. However it won’t change the tables character set or collation if they are already created, as in the case with upgrades like yours.

In fact, once installed, the collation value is not used at all, but the character set value is forced on every connection to the database with “SET NAMES ‘foo'”, where ‘foo’ is the character set (if it is specified).

So if your database is ‘latin1’, and for some reason we don’t address it that way you will get improper character mapping of your data to characters.

[chrishajer]

That still happens at bbpress.org/forums as well. This was reported long ago, but it still happens here. Maybe the same thing is happening to you.

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/588

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/redirect-error-on-login-at-bbpressorg

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/login-error

I have noticed that even though the redirect seems to continue until the browser times out, if I cancel the page load, then just try to access the forum, I am logged in. Maybe you would find the same thing?

Maybe it’s not noticed frequently by people who use bbPress heavily since their cookie never times out and they’re never asked to log in again?

[Thord D. Hedengren]

For some reason UTF8 worked before, but the db was latin1. Does bbPress create the tables in latin1?

Anyway, changing to the right latin1 table in config.php did the trick. Weird that I didn’t have the issue before the upgrade though.

Thanks!

[newyearwill]

I’d like to start off by saying what a fantastic piece of software bbpress is – I love the similarities with WordPress: clean HTML & CSS code. In my opinion it’s like a breath of fresh air compared to other forum software because you can easily customise it to fit your site. I just hope the clever designers and developers continue their excellent work with future releases.

…anyway enough of my rambling, here is my forum (still needs a few finishing touches):

[Olaf Lederer]

Hi,

do you checked the setting in the config.php file?

it must be something like:

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = 'http://www.domain.com/forums/';

maybe you can post some URL?
