Hello,

I have a wordpress “blog” that I’m using for my website, http://www.discoultimate.com and I would like install bbpress on a seperate page so people can communicate. Is there a way to install bbpress almost like its just another page in wordpress? bbPress sounds great and I’m excited to use it but I’m just not sure how to impliment it on and already existing wordpress blog.

Any help or advice is appreciated,

Dan

Thanks again,

I just overwrote /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php with /bb-includes/db.php and then tried it again it got this message

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: Access denied for user ‘jim1234’@’localhost’ (using password: NO) in /home/jim1234/public_html/forum/bb-includes/db.php on line 73

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/jim1234/public_html/forum/bb-includes/db.php on line 73

Cannot select DB.

Do you know of another good forum software that is much easier to install? Thanks

i call it like this:

if ( !defined('BBDB_NAME') )

require_once(ABSPATH.'forum/bb-load.php');

the problem started after the integration of wordpress and bbpress…so i don’t know what the problem ist.

mdawaffe do you have a idea how i can fix this?

i have one more problem…i can’t add links to my posts…when i post a link in the entry it shows only <a>test</a>…any idea?

jaithn

i’m running now bbpress.83 and wpmu 1.3…

The “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by” error comes from having whitespace before the opening <?php or after the closing ?> in a php file. I would check any modified files for an extra blank line at the beginning or end and see if deleting the line takes care of the problem.

Okay. I finally got it. I think this is a bug of bbPress.

line 29-55 in rss.php ensures there is a post found at least, if not then die().

Normally, we see no entries in a feed if there is no posts matched. But bbPress choose to die. You can replace each line of die(); with a dummy statement like

1; // die();

However, this is no enough. The third statement from bottom:

bb_send_304( $posts[0]->post_time );

Replace it with

if ($posts)

bb_send_304( $posts[0]->post_time );

Since bbPress can’t find any posts, therefore it has no way to decide that should it send a 304.

Can anyone confirm this is a bug about choosing to die?

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 ‘/p> ‘,’2007-11-04 07:21:38’, ‘59.92.136.76’, ‘0’, 1)’ at line 5]

INSERT INTO bb_posts (forum_id, topic_id, poster_id, post_text, post_time, poster_ip, post_status, post_position) VALUES (’11’, ‘7’, ‘9’, ‘

This is the error that I get when ‘ is used anywhere in the post. Any fix for it? Thanks.

I installed wordpress without problem for two different blogs, but cannot get bbpress to install. I’ve spent a few hours trying out things this past week with no success. The patch by mdawaffe fixes my error messages related to mysql_get_server_info, however I still get some other strange messages:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/10/d171407036/htdocs/bcg/mastertemplate/blog/bbpress/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:473) in /homepages/10/d171407036/htdocs/bcg/mastertemplate/blog/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php on line 10

Can anyone help me with this? I just set up a WordPress blog for a new product we’re distributing, and would like a forum in conjunction with it, so bbPress would be perfect.

If I can’t set up bbPress right now because the code is buggy, does anyone have suggestions for other forum software? I would even be ok with temporarily using a different forum setup, then porting it over to bbPress later (if that’s straightforward???).

Thanks in advance for any help or advice. I’m a knowledgeable computer consultant, but pretty inexperienced in blogs/forums. I can follow the conversation about patching the php files, and did so using standard web authoring tools. However, I’m not interested in becoming an expert on code versions or using diff tools. I just want a forum software that works well with my new blog for the benefit of our clients, with a minimum of fuss.

Instead you can make bbPress look like your blog. I stumbled onto Aditya Naik’s integratePress post.

bbPress has been installed as subdir of wp blogs.

I found a template I like for wp blog but I would like to share it to bbPress.

Probably this cannot be done just by one click.

What’s your advise about this issue?

I was looking to create a new template for bbPress which would look like wp one. Problem is how can I use the blog functions into bbPress ?

Thanks,

wp is great

Here is a similar topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/sub-sub-forums?replies=6

I have the same problem on a bbPress install I just set up. The top level feed just returns the text “No input file specified.”

Lower level feeds work as long as the topics have content. If they have no posts, it returns a blank page, which generates an error in some readers. This won’t be a problem as more posts are filled in, but it would be nice to return an empty feed now to avoid the errors.

[chrishajer]

Normally, bbPress is not this bad. A couple bugs were introduced which create problems on some systems. My install from a year ago was no where near this hard, but I checked out the new code and if I installed it I would have had this same trouble.

I think the line 80 being referenced is line 80 of /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php#L80

I think there are 3 possible workarounds:

1. You can try overwriting /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php with /bb-includes/db.php

2. You can manually modify line 80 of /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php

3. You can apply the 745c.diff patch attached to trac ticket 745

4. Wait for mdawaffe to fix it permanently.

I guess a 5th option is to move on to other forum software. I hope you don’t do that. bbPress is nice when it works (which is 99.9% of the time.)

[jim12345]

Thanks again chrishajer,

Yeah I’m running windows so I have no idea what the equivalent would be.

mdawaffe keeps talking about “line 80”, changing “line 80”. But I don’t know, line 80 of what? lol.

Man I had no idea that installing bbpress was going to be so difficult, installing wordpress itself was not bad at all.

I believe that it was a problem with the way my host (GoDaddy) deals with .htaccess files. I was also having major issues with the same as this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-not-working?replies=29#post-5247

All-in-all, I would say stay away from GoDaddy if you are trying to do a integrated wordpress/bbpress site. I have moved the site to another host and all issues have been resolved.

[JamesM]

Anyone ever come up with a solution from Vanilla to BBPress? I’m having daily requests to move from Vanilla and NO ONE has a converter.

[Sam Bauers]

You have to keep your custom templates up to date your self.

You might want to use the browser in the trac site to see which files have changed.

Okay, the 9rules notes is the coolest bbpress forum I’ve seen yet. It looks almost like a combination of a blog and a forum. Any tips on how to do something like that? The little preview is amazing and the number of responses looks great too.

[livibetter]

I checked the svn repos. It seems you are using bbPress prior to 0.8.2, please upgrade first.

[chrishajer]

Looks like mdawaffe is working on a different solution as well (read to the bottom):

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745

Did you already try applying that patch with the patch command on linux (there are probably equivalents on Windows and Mac, but I don’t know what they are)?

[thomasklaiber]

Maybe someone could port the “Live Comment Preview” plugin from wordpress to bbpress.

Too bad I don’t have the time at the moment

[jim12345]

Hello chrishajer, thanks for your reply.

I’m having a heck of a time trying to make sense of what I should do now lol. This is VERY confusing to me. I looked for a “db-mysqli.php” file in the bbpress files that I uploaded and did not see anything similar to that. And I don’t see that line 80 “mysql_get_server_info”, which it says should be changed to “mysqli_get_server_info” anywhere in the config.php file. I’m real lost here lol, so if anyone can just point in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

[chrishajer]

With integration, it’s easiest to use the same database, then just change the table prefix (or leave it at the default for bbpress – there’s no conflict.) If you use the same database, then just use the database connection details from wp-config.php.

It seems you can’t even SHOW TABLES, not even talking about creating anything yet. The permissions required to SHOW TABLES are much less than those needed to create a table.

Something weird is going on and we’re going to smack our heads when we realize how simple it really was.

[ericakadisco]

Hey Chris,

I had created a second bbpress database called bbpress2 to see if that was the problem, which it wasn’t. The error message is an older one. The one I’m getting now is in reference to bbpress, not bbpress2 like above. But everything else is the same:

bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']

SHOW TABLES;



bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']

CREATE TABLE bb_forums ( forum_id int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, forum_name varchar(150) NOT NULL default '', forum_slug varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', forum_desc text NOT NULL, forum_parent int(10) NOT NULL default '0', forum_order int(10) NOT NULL default '0', topics bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', posts bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (forum_id) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8



bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']

CREATE TABLE bb_posts

Question: can I use the same database as my WordPress database?

I may call my hosting provider to see if there is something wrong with the way mysql databases are set up. Perhaps I can connect but can’t create tables?

Thanks for all your work on this!

Eric

[chrishajer]

I have no idea what the problem is, but this right here is a funny 404 page:

http://approachanxiety.com/404.htm

This database is listed in the first error:

approachanxiety_com_bbpress2

But you are connecting to approachanxiety_com_bbpress in the second example. Was that changed along the way?

And you said you’re integrating with WordPress, but are you using a different database (i.e. why approachanxiety_com_bbpress if it’s an existing WP database?)

Not sure what it is yet, but I am curious.

[chrishajer]

I remember when bbPress had AJAX posting:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/718

Not post preview, but still, the AJAX was there at one point.
