@ chrishajer

thanks for the reply.

My site url is : http://aavaas.com

My forum url is : http://aavaas.com/forums

I have created a test user : bbpresstest

Password is : test

Currently there is only 1 post in my forum – “Your first topic”

When I am logged in the url for the same is : http://aavaas.com/forums/topic/1?replies=1

When I am logged out the url is : http://aavaas.com/forums/topic/1

I believe the later is a pretty permalink whereas the first is not.

Help here is appreciated. My .htaccess is located in the root folder with the following lines:

#

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

Aye, same here. All worked nice in the version previous to .3 but now nothing……

[richsad]

Here’s where I’m at. if I modify the function get_profile_info_keys in /wpmu/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.php and change the definition of get_profile_info_keys to what I want, it’s all good. I changed the text to make it fit and apologize for poor formatting. The downside here is I am changing bbpress code, not my own template. There was no documentation indicating get_profile_info_keys is eligible for being plugged in, but it seems like it is. So I tried hardcoding first to see if this obtained the desired results. It did. The profile info prompts displayed correctly on registration page, the data was written the appropriate usermeta table, and viewing the profile displays the newly named fields and shows correct data. So far so good. Below is the code (sorry for poor formatting). Of course, the fatal flaw here is this NEEDS to be done in a plugin. So now I will tackle this. If anyone has a plugin sample for bbpress that shows modification of profile_info_keys I would be very grateful to take a peek. I believe by tomorrow I will have this hashed out and working properly as a plugin with no changes to core bbpress code. I will share that code here when I get there. In the meantime, feel free to flame, compliment, empower, disempower, or any other useful feedback! I am heading into no man’s land…

//meta_key => (required?, Label). Don’t use user_{anything} as the name of your meta_key.

function get_profile_info_keys() {

return apply_filters(

‘get_profile_info_keys’,

array(

‘user_email’ => array(1, __(‘Email’)),

‘tip’ => array(0, __(‘A tip you would like to share?’)), ‘favorite’ => array(0, __(‘Favorite products?’)),

‘more’ => array(0, __(‘How are you getting more?’)),

‘interest’ => array(0, __(‘Hobbies/interests?’))) );

/* original array follows

array(

‘user_email’ => array(1, __(‘Email’)),

‘user_url’ => array(0, __(‘Website’)),

‘from’ => array(0, __(‘Location’)),

‘occ’ => array(0, __(‘Occupation’)), ‘

interest’ => array(0, __(‘Interests’))) );

*/

What I’d love is to see someone has tread in these waters and knows how to use a plugin to implement an overridden get_profile_info_keys. I’m getting old for these all night programming marathons. It was fun the first three decades, but now the arthritis flares up and I have to break to take my Centrum Silver… So all help will result in admiration from me to you! Ships ahoy.

Not sure if this still applies, but I found something in the wp.org forums and posted it at:

Adding bbPress as WP Page

[kicksonfire]

Is there a way to have the bbpress forum show within one of the wordpress pages. I dont want my users to go from one site to another that looks different. I want them to stay on my blog yet do everything in the forum while still staying on the blog. is that possible?

[Trent Adams]

These might give you an idea how to do it (or might just work for you).

[Trent Adams]

From the FAQ:

Create a file called .htaccess in bbPress’ root directory. Put only the following line in that new file.

Options +MultiViews

Just upload a file like htaccess.txt with the line mentioned above and then use the FTP program to name it to .htaccess versus htaccess.txt (notice the dot before name).

WordPress is just thinking right now that you have a URL that doesn’t have an assigned page or post to it and it is getting screwed up! Try that one out!

Trent

[kicksonfire]

What is my .htaacess file on my bbpress folder suppose to say?

And how can i create it if i have a mac?

I have my own server with theplanet.com

[Trent Adams]

It might be that the .htaccess file of wordpress is over-writing the one that should be in the bbPress folder /beta/. I have heard this can happen. Do you have the .htaccess in the bbPress folder? What host are you running? I think (without searching) that this was something on GoDaddy, but I am not 100% sure…..

Trent

[Trent Adams]

I know nothing that would do it straight to bbPress, but one could be written based on the WP plugins like WP-AutoBlog, FeedWordPress or another Maggie based plugin.

I think the best bet would be to great a WP blog (hidden) that populates using one of the mentioned plugins and then a bbPress plugin like bbSync or bbPress-Post to pull the entries from WP into bbPress as entries.

It would be better to create a plugin that does it automatically, but if you don’t want to re-invent the wheel, that is the only solution I can think of right now.

[kicksonfire]

I have wordpress installed in my main directory kicksonfire.com

I have installed bbpress at http://kicksonfire.com/beta/

for some reason when i click anything it takes me to teh 404 error page of my wordpress blog… wat can be wrong?

[citizenkeith]

I installed the Restrict Registration for bbPress plugin. Every time I make a change to restrictions in the admin panel, all my Private Forums are reset to “Open to All.”

Plugin: Restrict registration for bbPress

Not sure where the problem lies (I assume with the restriction plugin), but thought I’d post it here just in case.

Hey.

I solved it myself.

As a matter of fact it was a http://www./no-www issue.

In WordPress my Blog-URL was http://cmscentral.de and after I changed it to http://www.cmscentral.de everything worked just fine.

[chrishajer]

In your config.php, make sure your “mod_rewrite” line says false:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

Permalinks are not supported on your host, at least not right now. Change that line to false (maybe you have slugs or true there now?) and it should work fine.

If things work like that, you can figure out the proper mod_rewrite rules for your .htaccess file.

BTW – those are not real folders, they’re just URLs created by bbPress that look like folders. They won’t be in the filesystem.

[chrishajer]

There is a plugin for WordPress but I haven’t seen one for bbPress.

[chrishajer]

Does any of this help?

Hello there!

I have a website with a Wp install. I made a folder called “forum” so I could add a forum to this site. I made another MySQL database ( I already have one for Wp) for BBpress and write the user, pass,etc of the new SQL in the config.php file and here starts the problems.

1) I got the famous problem with the lost letter “i” in the line 80. Solved.

2) Then I get two more errors:

2.1: Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-admin/install.php on line 10

and 2.2:Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1898

I try continue the installation and everything goes well, but The forum is not working. I mean. I can´t log out as the admin,I get the error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 37

If I post a new topic, I go to the write new topic windows , but when I send It; get an error :Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:454) in /homepages/24/d225407794/htdocs/foro/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 164

The strange thins, is that all those post appears in the general window!! but I can´t acces them. I get an Error 404 File not Found. The same error if I try to see my profile as admin.

The BBpress installation has a lot of problems!!!. It´s not any easy..

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, i’m not sure if this is the correct forum for this question but here goes:

I’m developing a new site in ASP classic and would like to use bbPress as a discussion board on this new site. The new site will have it’s own login and registration but I would like to enable single sign on for both services.

The proposed solution for this is on registration, register the user on my site then process a registration for bbPress using the same details. Similarly, on logon I will have a script to logon to an ASP session and then to a bbPress PHP session. (both my site and the bbPress forum will be on the same domain).

Heres the question. How can I do this? Is there a page I can submit form information to (using AJAX or similar) on registration? Is there a page I can submit login information to to write a PHP session? I’m not very fluent in PHP so if someone could help me out here I would be very grateful.

[cptaj]

I would like to have an “announcements” forum in my bbpress installation. All users should be able to see it and post in it but NOT create topics.

I’d settle for seeing it only. Is there a way to do any of this?

[Trent Adams]

Wicked stuff on your google code page! Bookmarked! Many great plugins for bbPress and WP!

[mattpeckham]

Here on the official forums usernames longer than 7 or 8 characters get cut off by the post form/area itself (see even my username here), a problem I’m also encountering using the replica ‘bbpress-forum’ template.

Has anyone come up with a possible hyphenation-wrap workaround? Or is it probably down to either just dealing with the truncation, swapping in a different template with a broader username column, or doing more involved design surgery on ‘bbpress-forum’ to make it wide enough to accommodate, say, 13-15 character usernames?

[mattpeckham]

For anyone that’s interested, if you set

margin-top: 35px;

…it lines up flush with the username line, just as it looks if you view you profile here on the official bbPress board.

[mattpeckham]

Fab Trent, that’s plenty close for now.

[mattpeckham]

Has anyone been able to get this working with the ‘bbpress-forum’ template (the one that mimics this forum) and bbPress 8.3? I had this working fine in my older install using the default template, but 8.3 seems to break things, and ‘bbpress-forum’ doesn’t have the post-form.php and edit-form.php files.

[Andrew]

I thought you were proposing changes to the core files. If so I was wondering if this should be put in as a change to the code database, which would mean submitting a bug to the BBPress Trac database.
