Okay, does anyone know where bbpress decides what the mod_rewrite linkks should be – I;ve tried editing .htaccess – but that just links back to site.com/forum/water-cooler

[Doobus]

Thanks a lot found the fix.

[chrishajer]

I think you were bitten by an error that has been fixed in the latest trac release, but still exists in the production release. Take a look through the threads tagged 745:

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/745

745 is the trac ticket where this was discussed. There are lots of workarounds listed in the forums and on trac.

Good luck.

I’ve tried installing it on xampp and wamp and I get the same warnings. When I go ahead and install with the warnings I can’t log in. I don’t get why it is reading ODBC@localhost instead of the DB name I provided which is bbp1. I’m 99.9% sure I set up config correctly, but just in case I didn’t here it is:

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbp1’); // The name of the database

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

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

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 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://localhost/bbpress’;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘bbpress’;

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

$bb->admin_email = ‘blah@blah.com;

ok – i’m the keymaster. the username is for example AndyBB.

if i put the var’s to the right thing:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.XYZ.de’; //

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.XYZ.de’; //

i use the folowing plugin in wp:

bbPress Integration 0.74 -> Michael Adams.

Synchronizes registrations on your bbPress installation with your WordPress blog

in bb:

WordPress Integration 0.7 -> Tightly integrates user accounts between WordPress and bbPress

if i now login into wp, i can use my forum with the same username as i login and this user stands in wp userdatabase NOT in bbpress users.

if i log out, use AndyBB + password – can’t login !!!

if i delete the var’s in config.php, i can login! i see the little admin link.

so – i make a misstake. but i don’t know what it’s wrong.

About time I chime in here. There is a plugin by Louisdale called Avatar Upload that allows users to upload their own avatar and save it on the server. I have been meaning to pick that plugin apart as to use the “uploading” code in another plugin.

I am sure that if you understand a bit of code you can pick out that portion of the plugin and use it with the current “allow images” plugin. I might have time later to look at it, but if someone wants a place to start, that might be it!

You Guys can have such a limited sense of humor…

Sorry, I started a new topic for this, which I should’ve done from the beginning…

(fel64: I simply want to allow forum users to have the option of uploading images and then displaying those images in a post.)

[tbronson]

Seeking a simple solution that allows logged in users to upload and include images in their posts.

All I’ve come up with is the Allow Images plugin, which adds a button to the editing form that helps paste an IMG tag so you can link to an external image.

I was told in another thread that it’s far from trivial to create a file attachments plugin for bbPress: “A major problem right now is lack of per-post metadata. Even if that were present, this would not be a trivial task.” I’m not sure of the terminology here, but if “attachment” means embedding an image in a post, that’s what I want to do.

ImageShack was suggested, a web service that lets people upload images which they serve for free. You can embed their upload form in your site, upload, then grab the preformatted image URL and paste it into your bbPress post. This kinda works, but it’s distracting because you get an ImageShack mini-ad, and have to go to their site to copy the link (cool service, though)…

I thought of trying a simple uploader script that would upload files completely outside of bbPress and present the URL for cutting and pasting into the post. Kinda like the ImageShack procedure minus…ImageShack. Dunno, this is probably beyond me, though I may try with a canned script…

I’m using 2.3.1 integrated with 0.8.3 via bbSync and WordPress integration. It works great!

Any ideas?

(I noticed that Allow Images is the #1 most downloaded plugin, 7x more popular than #2, WordPress Integration, so I imagine the MASSES are craving simple image upload…

Thanks!

I have this weird issue. I have enabled permalink in my config.php. Initially I had the .htaccess with option +multiview in the /bbpress folder. Then I read that it would be good to have just one .htaccess in the wordpress folder. I did this and also tried to have the other option as documented in the site (using a generated list as content for .htaccess).

Permalinks worked when I am not logged in. The moment I log in as admin, I see the address is of the form ?/topic=1 etc.

I try clearing cookies, tried to delete the whole forum but still am able to reproduce the issue.

What am I doing wrong?

[chrishajer]

Are you using any custom role plugins with WordPress or anything that changes the display name? I think those things mess with the integrated logins.

Your setup is fine. The URLs are supposed to be the same in config.php. And once you have it working you can log in in WordPress and still be logged in in bbPress. It’s just an issue of getting it right.

[chrishajer]

Check this thread, especially the post from sambauers.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/agregar-nueva-categoria-de-temas?replies=12

As far as multiple forums, one for each city, I think that would be possible and the user could stay logged in across forums assuming the cookies are correct.

[pwdrskier4]

I think what he might be looking to achieve is something like this setup where the forums are broken up:

http://floridastate.rivals.com/forum.asp

He is looking for groups of forums that have a heading such as “Chicago” where “Chicago” is not a forum but just a heading.

At least that is my guess. I would also like to be able to do this if anyone knows how with bbpress.

[joeby]

OK… Through some searching through the forums… I found this:

Usernames with spaces do not work

And it seems to work. Does not allow for special characters, for example, Dr. Nobody (the period doesn’t go through)…

One step closer, now… Thanks for all the help.

[tbronson]

I’m using K2 for bbPress. I’ve moved things around a bit, but I don’t think I deleted anything.

I just tried with Kakumei and it’s the same behavior.

I also tried it with different posts in different forums, and multiple stuck posts. It’s consistent: stick to front and the topic remains counted in the counts column, but does not display in the individual forum topic list.

[chrishajer]

I think you will be redirected from bb-admin if you’re not logged in or if you’re logged in as someone other than keymaster. Can you take a screenshot showing who you’re logged in as?

Sounds like you don’t have a link to Admin either. That makes me think you’re not the keymaster. Can you confirm with direct access to the database that you are in fact the key master? I think that’s the source of your problem.

There was also a plugin that I thought could do this. Are you using any plugins? I would tell you to disable them one by one, but since you can’t access the admin section, that would be hard. I think right now you are going to need direct access to your database tables with a tool like phpMyAdmin or whatever your host provides.

Regarding the WordPress error, that’s a WordPress issue and I think you will find help over at the WordPress forums, for example:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/134771

(From the looks of it, there is no more post2cat table in WP 2.3, but not all the plugins have caught up, so some of them are causing this error. Or possibly you just need to upgrade the database schema to match your WordPress installation? In either case, that’s a WordPress issue and totally unrelated to bbPress.)

[chrishajer]

Does this help:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/spaces-in-login?replies=6#post-5180

There is a link to an old plugin (for v 0.74) that made spaces work. Not sure if that still works. But the thread talks about your problem exactly.

[skrimpy]

I’m integrated on http://www.rabies-ls.com – though I think I’m a bit late for your weekend conference!

[tbronson]

Yes, I need an image uploader/file attachment thingie as well.

It’s the usual: I’d write one…if I could.

Is there something inherent in the current (0.8.3) bbPress set-up (plugin API, or whatever) that makes creating an uploader particularly difficult? It seems to me that anyone with Some Skills could whip one up in…minutes?!

Thanks!

[Andreas Grzybowski]

so – tested a lot.

my blog has now an error:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘summerdb.wp_post2cat’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT p2c.category_id AS cat_id, COUNT(p2c.rel_id) AS numposts, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(max(posts.post_date_gmt)) + ‘1’ AS last_post_date, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(max(posts.post_date_gmt)) AS last_post_date_gmt FROM wp_post2cat p2c INNER JOIN wp_posts posts ON p2c.post_id=posts.id WHERE 1 = 1 AND posts.post_type = ‘post’ AND posts.post_status = ‘publish’ AND posts.post_date_gmt <= ‘2007-11-18 15:26:18’ GROUP BY p2c.category_id ORDER BY numposts DESC

if i try to login in bb-admin like: http://www.summer-breeze-fanatics.de/forum/bb-admin/admin-base.php

i was redirectet to http://www.summer-breeze-fanatics.de/forum/

i can login with all my users from wordpress into bbpress.

i have all things done that was sayed in zhe docu and in this forum.

in my config.php under bbpress and in the wp-config.php.

but it doesn’t work very well and i don’t know how to figure out what i do wrong.

anyone has a tip or a little workaround?

thanks

The “No input file specified” error is because you are using pretty urls. Are you using GoDaddy as your host? Because I was having that problem with them too even though my pretty urls worked with wp they did not work with bbpress. I transferred to another host and everything was better.

[joeby]

OK… I’m trying to integrate bbpress (whatever the current version as of 11/17/07 is) with wordpress, hosted on my site.

It’s a train wreck.

In no particular order, but all of equal importance…

bbpress recognizes all the usernames from wp, however my admin account doesn’t give me access to anything. When it was first installed I was able to log in with admin and the random password and get to the dashboard.

Actions are all met with “No Input File Specified”. In other words, Can’t read posts, can’t read can’t enter forums, can’t view profile.

I saw the plugins to integrate, and downloaded the WP plugin, which says is activated (although I’m not sure how to edit it appropriately with the prefixes), and apparently there’s a plugin for bbpress but I can only find the “trac” version of it, not the original, and anyway can’t get to the dashboard to do anything with it. When I could, the trac version didn’t show up, even though I had uploaded that to the my-plugins directory as instructed in the integrating section…

Here’s the url for the WP site and the bbpress site…

wp: http://www.seekgoddaily.com

bbp: http://www.seekgoddaily.com/bbpress/

Does anyone have time to help me out?

[bedbugger]

I run a forum where people share advice, much like bbpress. Most posts are started by someone asking a question, so bbratings is not much help.

It would help a lot if people could use a feature like bbratings to rate responses to the post, rather than the post itself. That way others who come along could see the best advice.

Is this possible with bbratings, or does someone else have any ideas? (Warning, I’m kind of a noob.)

[chgogrrl99]

Ok…Success!

So, first of all, thank you for all of your help.

I guess what I was doing wrong was creating a sub-directory called “forum” and then uploading the bbpress folder into that. I think that changed the address when it tried to access the files. For instance, rather than being http://www.my_site.com/forums it ended up being http://www.my_site.com/forums/bbpress. My guess is it couldn’t find it.

So, what I did was, and I’m sure everyone reading this is thinking “Duh” was to create a sub-directory named forum so the address would be http://www.my_site.com/forum and then upload the bbpress “files” not the folder their housed in. Worked like a charm and even the sign-in page for step 1 looked like a WP sign-in sheet.

Thanks again for you help. I’m done for the night, but I’m sure I’ll be back soon as I try to set this thing up. Have a great night.

[chrishajer]

Whatever file your wp-config.php is in is where you normally want your bbpress folder. That would give you one of two things:

http://www.site.com/ (where this is actually WordPress for your site)

http://www.site.com/bbpress (bbPress forum)

OR

http://www.site.com/ (website)

http://www.site.com/wordpress (WordPress blog)

http://www.site.com/wordpress/bbpress (bbPress forum)

Lots of people use WordPress alone for their website. If you are using it for your site, and your site is at http://www.site.com, and you want bbpress in a folder called bbpress, then drop the bbpress folder into the root folder for your site (wherever wp-config.php is.)

IF you don’t need integration, and you have a website, a blog (WordPress) and want a forum (bbPress) just put the bbpress folder at the same level as the wordpress folder. So you would have this:

http://www.site.com/

http://www.site.com/wordpress/

http://www.site.com/bbpress/

If you are not concerned with integration, and you have a website AND a WordPress install, then I would do the option directly above (with bbpress and wordpress directories at the same level.)

Hope that makes sense.
