Whatever, I’ll just remove the bbPress forums from spencerp.net and maybe even spencerp.net itself anyway. I’ll just slap up MT for the blog maybe and go with another forum software… whee!

/Ah, screw it. I’ll just redirect spencerp.net to something else, like vindictivebastard.net or something.. I dunno yet.

Hello,

I can use one installation and run many wordpress sites (http://me.mywebsight.ws/2006/08/11/host-multiple-wp-sites-on-one-installation/) All you need to modify the config.php

Do you think this method can apply to bbpress as well?

[gtim]

I doubt that this is the most efficient way, but it seems to work. Add the following code in post.php in the default theme (/bb-templates/kakumei/post.php), you probably want it within the .threadauthor div.

<?php

$puser = bb_get_user( get_post_author_id() );

if ( isset( $puser->from ) ) {

echo $puser->from;

}

?>

It is not possible to do this with a plugin yet because there is no hook there, but there is a Trac ticket for it.

Also, I compiled a list of all template functions.

I have done a complete site re-design and have been debating between using vBulletin, which I own, or bbPress. I decided to try out bbPress purely from the simplicity and low-maintenance aspect. But I am having a registration issue that may be cookie related, but I am not sure.

I have bbPress installed within my WordPress directory. I also have bbPress integration as well as WordPress integration to keep users synced between the two (I hope that is what I was supposed to do).

My WordPress register page seems to be working:

http://www.dreamindemon.com/Blog/wp-login.php?action=register

But my bbPress does not:

http://www.dreamindemon.com/Blog/forum/register.php

I have verified that registering in WordPress does integrate the user automatically into bbPress.

Any ideas on what I should be looking at to resolve this?

Hi.

I know that’s not the wordpress forum, but my problem is about bbpress so i’ll ask there.

firstly, look at this: http://ram.org.pl/forum/

everything seem to be working ok, but click on the ‘latest discussion’ called ‘ostatnio na forum’ in my sidebar on the right. there’s a problem with links to topics. how to resolve the problem?

[tiszenkel]

So, I figured this out myself. It turned out to be a problem with pretty permalinks. The bbPress instructions for enabling pretty permalinks say, in part:

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

Options +MultiViews

3. Try it out. If it doesn’t work, your web server does not support MultiViews.

I suppose I was thrown off because for the most part, it did work. When I tried the documentation’s alternative instructions — feeding the output of rewrite-rules.php into .htaccess instead of the MultiViews call — the broken links suddenly worked fine.

[tiszenkel]

Hmm — forums/tags is being redirected to a page that exists, tags.php. But even navigating straight to tags.php causes the same error. I opened up tags.php in a text editor to see what was in there, and it referenced several files that don’t seem to be anywhere in my bbPress installation: bb_tag-single.php, tag-single.php and bb_tags.php. Could this be the problem? I downloaded a completely new copy of bbPress and couldn’t find them in there, either.

Here’s the tags.php code:

<?php

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



bb_repermalink();



// Temporary, refactor this!



if ( !$tag && $tag_name )

bb_die(__('Tag not found'));



if ( $tag_name && $tag ) :



$topics = get_tagged_topics($tag->tag_id, $page);

do_action( 'bb_tag-single.php', $tag->tag_id );



bb_load_template( 'tag-single.php', array('tag', 'tag_name', 'topics') );

else :



do_action( 'bb_tags.php', '' );



bb_load_template( 'tags.php' );

endif;

?>

Bozo: “1” means they’re set as a bozo (generally 1 means true, 0 means false). You do need to remove it, but if that’s ineffective apply the patch and then remove again. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/822

[ProSam]

I’m running .81 but its weird cuz 4 out of the 6 plugins I’ve installed are working.

allow-images = working

quicktags = working

fix-bbpress = working

simple-onlinelist = working

bb-ratings = not working

post-notification = not working

[fel64]

Or better yet, apply the patch. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/822?replies=11

[fel64]

I think in the vast majority of cases it does work. Anyway, I agree it seems like releasing .82 just with the bozo thing fixed (making the changes the plugin makes now) would’ve been the smart thing to do – but I don’t know what’s going on in their offices.

[ProSam]

Hi Guys,

I’ve been at this all morning and I cannot figure out why its broken. I’ve looked at the code so much I’m cockeyed.

I’m trying to integrate bbPress into a clients already established site which uses a server side includes so I figure I’ll just use php includes to call the same files but it just isn’t working out.

site: radioavivamiento.com

board: radioavivamiento.com/foro

I would appreciate any help.

[chrishajer]

What version bbPress are you running? The trac version has a plugin activation like WP, but the .81 version does not. You just install them into my-plugins and they start working.

[chrishajer]

I’m not worried about fixing it for me. I’m worried about fixing it for every new person who comes along and installs it and has a problem immediately. If the above works, that should be the default and that should be released. Anyone who downloads the latest.tar.gz should not have to edit out anything to fix the bozo problem. The default doesn’t work, so it should be changed until it’s fixed. No patches: a new release.

[wmarcy]

You can also alternatively get rid of it all together just by taking this line out of bb-settings.php:

require( BBPATH . BBINC . ‘bozo.php’);

&&

require( BBPATH . BBINC . ‘akismet.php’);

YMMV.

[spencerp]

Aight, I’m sorry that I haven’t released this yet. I’ve just been really really busy with other things sigh. To be honest, I don’t know if I’ll actually have the “time” to do this.

What I can do, is, zip up what I had before and paste the download link here. Then, someone else can take the copy of that, revamp it, then release it as their own. Maybe just give me a little props some where LOL!

It’s up to you guys/gals though…? Let me know okay folks?

[tiszenkel]

I’m running a fresh installation of bbPress, albeit with the WordPress integration and Bozo-error-fix plugins, and I noticed that certain links return a “No input file specified” error page. Here’s an example:

http://www.queenscentral.com/forums/tags/

The homepage RSS seems to do the same thing:

http://www.queenscentral.com/forums/rss/

Though other RSS feeds are working fine.

Anybody know what could be causing this?

[chrishajer]

The bozo function seems to be broken. Just do a search of this forum for bozo and you will see tons of questions from people who have just installed bbPress, they post but the posts don’t show, or they are the key master and are marked a bozo. If someone has responded to a thread with the word ‘bozo’ these searches will work on this forum:

http://bbpress.org/forums/search.php?q=bozo

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://bbpress.org/forums/%20bozo

http://bbpress.org/forums/tags/bozo

I respectfully request a new release with this bozo functionality fixed and functional (waiting for 1.0 is not acceptable IMHO) or a new release with the functionality removed. I have been running a bbPress forum for 6 months or so and I have never had a need to mark someone a bozo, but I have spent countless hours either fixing bozo problems on my own forum or responding to requests on this forum from people who can’t see their own posts, etc. How many other people have used it for what it’s for vs. how many people have been affected by it not working correctly?

Please, fix it or remove it, for the sake of the future of bbPress.

[chrishajer]

Sounds like a bozo issue. It seems fairly common lately.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/212?replies=12

Just search the forum for bozo.

Hi – I’m having the same problem with /tags/ when I use permalinks or slugs. I’m running latest bbPress with the trac fix, and the the htaccess hack didn’t work either (it spewed content of tags.php as raw text)

Any ideas?

[bedbugger]

I have a fairly active forum and the “latest discussion” goes back 5 days. People don’t really know which forum they were reading posts from before.

Is there a plugin for archiving by date?

Can I change the number of posts that show under latest discussion?

Can I change the number of visible “hot tags”?

Are there other ways to make this more manageable?

I’m not very experienced with bbpress, so thanks for any responses and instructions you can provide or point me towards.

Hi, first of all, Thank You For Doing This

I uploaded the folder and trying to run the install.php (http://www.gaszappers.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php), and all I got is this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bb_install_header() in /home/2206/domains/gaszappers.com/html/forum/bb-admin/install.php on line 11

Any Clues?

I triple check the dbName, user, password, directory and all that jazz, here’s my config.php:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘db2206_gaszappers’); // The name of the database

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

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

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘internal-db.s2206.gridserver.com’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

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

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

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://gaszappers.com&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = ‘/forum/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘GAS ZAPPERS Development Forum’;

// This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘kenneth@tinkin.com’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

// 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 = -4;

// 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 the rest as it is.

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

$bb->wp_home = ”; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ”; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

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

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

?>

Oh, thanks Trent…

I also did something, well not so great as you did…

I wrote about bbPress on my blog, including some of our reviews from here. The blog is of course on WordPress.com.

So far not to much responses… But I saw some referrers coming here from there.

[Trent Adams]

As this issue is a concern for the users of bbPress here and forward, I created the ticket.

This is the only thing that I missed when I first installed bbPress. Thanks!
