Pravin you should post this patch as a ticket in TRAC so that the powers to be might get it in there (if you haven’t already or they already fixed it!)

STATUS: RESOLVED

Ziyphr,

I’ll preface this by saying that I love Ahi Tuna dishes at restaurants. What is it about that huge hunk of raw fish meat that’s only seared to (probably) keep men’s wives from refusing to share a bed with a man who would eat a classic “dry heave” food. So, why do I like it? Well, it’s not the big chunk of meat that draws me in and pleases my palate. It’s the simple glaze that I often find on top; the light, sweet sauce that perfectly compliments the fish. As they say, “The secret’s in the sauce.”

So, the “sauce” for this problem was the secret, and the sauce ended up being all too simple. Ziyphr first directed my friend and I to wp-settings.php. (He said to check out line 185, but mine was around 151-160). I found the code that called the siteurl and home, both of which would have returned http://babyquestions101.com, as that is what I have listed in my admin panel. I thought I needed to modify those to somehow spit out two domains, with the www and sans.

My friend also informed me that he believed that cookie domains really need two dots, the first before the domain and the second after the domain but before the ‘com’. In my case it would be .babyquestions101.com. How to get ‘siteurl’ or ‘home’ to reflect that was a challenging thought.

One side-note for anyone trying this same thing, DON'T CHANGE YOUR SITE ADDRESS OR HOME ADDRESS TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN \"WWW.MYURL.COM\" OR \"MYURL.COM\" IN THE ADMIN PANEL. Doing so will cause you more headaches than when you meet your mother in law for the first time. (Ok, that was an exaggeration, but only slightly).

Once I got that mess sorted out, we tried to hard code in the .babyquestions101.com, replacing

define('COOKIEPATH', preg_replace('|https?/[^/]+|i', '', get_settings('home') . '/' ) ); with

define('COOKIEPATH', '.babyquestions101.com');

This didn’t work, and all hope was lost. Curiosity getting the best of me, I opened up my preferences panel in Safari and pulled up the list of all my stored cookies to see if there were any similarities/discrepencies between my cookie and other sites’ cookies. This is where I saw my cookie had the value “www.babyquestions101.com” under the heading “website” where most other sites were listed as “.siteurl.com”, missing the www that seemed to be plaguing me. I decided that was what I needed changed, and when I looked back at the code in wp-settings.php, I discovered that line 160 was unique from the others.

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', false);

I decided to change this to this:

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.babyquestions101.com');

What do you know…I dumped my cookies for my site, refreshed the page, logged in, checked the cookie, and there it was, ‘.babyquestions101.com’. Now for the true test, I got rid of the ‘www’ in the address bar, hit return, and VOILA! I was still logged in. Everything was seamless. I was now the owner of a spiffy wordpress/bbpress integrated site that shared cookies across sites and subdomains. No crazy .htaccess directives, no checking and double checking every last link in my site to reflect my choice of domains.

This is the way it should be done. I’m quite surprised it was such a simple solution, and that nobody seemed to be aware of how simple the solution is. I hope this is helpful to someone else trying to share cookies across multiple subdomains.

Script works, but i have problem. All not english (russian) symbols convert in questions (???????).

Example:

Before – “Эволюция Красоты (YouTube)”

After – “??????? ??????? (YouTube)”

My smf forum 1.1.2 and all database in UTF-8. Its strange why script dont understand russian characters. Anyway thanks.

[drtech]

Categories patch will not work on bbpress .8.1 . It will need a tweak.

[Trent Adams]

Have you updated to the 0.8.1 version of bbPress yet? If you upgrade, you will see the checkbox to unedit the BOZO portion as chrishajer has suggested above with screenshots. Just make sure you overwrite all the files so that you are using the most recent version of each file and then test it again with and without the Akismet turned on.

I like this plugin a great deal, because it works so nicely right off the bat

Since my forum is in a subdomain, I had to change the code a bit (just coded in the location of my forums instead of letting it grab my blog location and adding a path). But a very minor thing to do for a very nice plugin.

[mvashistha]

I am also looking for same thing. I would really appreciate any help in this regard.

Can I use bbpress functions as library functions in my code to register user in bbpress, login in bbpress and logout from bbpress programmatically?

If there are some direct functions available for these needs, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

[Angie Bergmann]

This is awesome! Thanks !

[Angie Bergmann]

Alright. My exact problem is that once my users sign up, they are marked as Bozo’s. I can’t even uncheck them as bozo’s as there is no option to do so in my bbpress. So to get around this I did as noted above and logged into phpmyadmin and simply dropped the bozo table from each users name.

Now, the problem lies in that if they update there profile, they are again turned into a bozo.

Another issue is that they don’t even show up under the bozo panel in the admin interface. But every single thing they post is marked by akismet as spam and I have to approve it again.

[brakai295]

hi there,

thanks for the quick reply. No, I’m not using WordPress. It’s a self-made community system. Actually I’m not the one who programmed it, I’ve just designed and produced all the templates. But I’m also the one who decides what way to go with the forum.

Has anyone here successfully integrated bbpress into their own website with 3rd party member database etc.?

[bbolman]

Are you using WordPress or WordPress MU for your blogging system? If so then the integration is really easy and simple. I would suggest taking a look at these tutorials:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

[brakai295]

Hi folks,

I like the simplicity of the bbpress forum very much. Since I’m currentlu developing my own travel community (which is a pretty huge project with a blogging system, member profile pages etc) I’m looking at the question which forum I should use.

How hard is it to connect bbpress to an existing member database? I also want to customise the forum heavily so that it fits exactly into my design.

Are there any tutorials or good posts that cover this issue extensively? Or do you recommend using an entirely different forum script for this matter? If so, I need a very very simplistic one.

Thanks very much for your help.

and I fixed the latest discussion issue with the front-page-topics.php plugin (https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/3?replies=6) and it seems to be working fine. I had one user and my sock account help me test it lol, I will work on getting everything set up this afternoon and see if it all goes well.

[tzangms]

Today I am integreating wordpress and bbpress, it’s works fine, but after I set BBLANG to my language(zh_TW), this message below shows up.

“Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class streamreader in /path/to/bbpress/bb-includes/streams.php on line 26”

Coz StreamReader class has been declared in wordpress, but bbpress will declare it again in ‘bb-settings.php’, this coz the error.

here is the code in ‘bb-settings.php’

Code:

include_once(BBPATH . BBINC . ‘streams.php’);
include_once(BBPATH . BBINC . ‘gettext.php’);

I use class_exists to avoid these two files, ‘streams.php’ and ‘gettext.php’ to be include twice.

the code came into these:

Code:

if (!class_exists(‘StreamReader’))
include_once(BBPATH . BBINC . ‘streams.php’);

if (!class_exists(‘gettext_reader’))
include_once(BBPATH . BBINC . ‘gettext.php’);

then it works! bbpress came back to normal, but my language file seems not to be loaded.

After all, I find out, that bbpress uses wordpress function after integrate, so I place my .mo file into /path/to/wordpress/wp-includes/languages/ , then, my language file finally loaded. but ….. here is another problem, the .po of wordpress and bbpress will mess up into one file. but I want my wordpress not to be translated. ><

[Ziyphr]

I had a look at the WP code but haven’t had a chance to look at bbPress’ yet. Would like to hear your solution. One thing I noticed was when you try entering www on here it filters them out.

[chrishajer]

I was only going off this reply by peiqinglong (different user?):

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/643?replies=17#post-3815

Trent,

That’s the problem, there is no box to uncheck them anywhere in their individual profile, where they are listed as Bozos, etc.

“No box to uncheck” was the part I caught. I’ve seen it mentioned before too and wondered if that was part of the real problem. (edit: maybe since this is a few weeks old this is the one I was remembering)

This was a different, but possibly related problem (where unchecking the box never “stuck” – you’d always be a bozo – that was in 0.73 though I think):

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/312?replies=4#post-1525

Also, I didn’t follow this from mdawaffe:

There’s nothing in the admin for this (sad, I know).

You need to edit that user’s profile.

But, as key master you CAN edit the user’s profile, from admin. So I didn’t follow this part either.

I thought the crux of the problem was that there were no boxes visible in the admin, where I have boxes, as expected. That is all

edit: PLEASE change the style.css to include some styling for [blockquote] – my quotes were quoted up there but you can’t tell. Indent, different font, different BG color, something.

[mvashistha]

Hi,

I want to automate login in bbpress and start bbpress session. How can i do that? I have my portal setup with list of users who come there for additional functionalities, I want to extend it by adding bbpress forum.

Basically in that way…

I need to do 1. Register users in bbpress database 2. login in bbpress whenever user logs in to my site and 3. logs out whenever user logs out from my site.

Are there any interfaces available which i can use in my code? My code is also in php and I am willing to modify some core files if required.

Please let me know. I will really appreciate your help.

[Trent Adams]

This is something that mdawaffe is working on to be implemented in the next version of bbPress because it is almost a ‘bug’ to have certain users even tested against Akismet and the topic check with Akismet will be obsolete here soon. This will definetely be in the next major release!

Trent

[skrimpy]

This is exactly what I need. I tried adding this into my-plugins. It shows up correctly but doesn’t seem to work. Has it been verified to work with bbPress 0.8? Or am I doing something wrong?

What is happening: I put in my “display name” into the allowed user field and get back an error that there is no such user. I also tried putting in “admin” and get the same error.

I tried putting in another user and got no error message – however the user wasn’t displyed in my allowed user field. Is this what is supposed to happen?

Help is greatly appreciated. Let me know if I have missed something obvious.

[bbolman]

Cool stuff. I like the new sticky colors by the way.

[chrishajer]

Trent, maybe I misunderstand. There is a box on the edit tab of my user’s profiles that says “this user is a bozo” and it’s normally unchecked (there was an issue with .73 and the admin being checked bozo, but that doesn’t appear to be an issue any more.)

See this admin user screenshot and normal user screenshot, both of the edit tab in the profiles. Is that what is missing from the OP’s install? I wasn’t asking for anything that doesn’t exist. It sounded to me like this box that I see does not show up sometimes. That’s the confusion for me.

edit: also, I saw on the source somewhere that users of a certain level could be whitelisted to skip the akismet check, but maybe that’s not implemented yet.

In akismet.php, around line 119:

function bb_ksd_check_post( $post_text ) {

global $bb_current_user, $bb_ksd_pre_post_status;

if ( in_array($bb_current_user->roles[0], bb_trusted_roles()) ) // Don't filter content from users with a trusted role

return $post_text;

That I asked about before, for sure:

Hey,

I just wanted to say that I just installed bbPress in a subdomain from my forum and got the cookie syncing to work fine.

Much thank to Trent, who provided half the solution:

$bb->cookiedomain = '.lumanation.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

made it so that forum-generated cookies worked for the entire website. I had to go into wordpress root and edit wp-settings.php line 190:

define(COOKIE_DOMAIN, '.example.com');

I do not understand how it worked previously, as it defined it simply as false (I assume that the browser will automagically substitute the domain that the user is currently on?). However, hardcoding the domain worked for me, and as long as I remember to change this in future upgrades I should be fine.

I did have troubles, especially logging out, while testing all this, and found that it’s vital to clear your cookies manually as the wordpress/bbpress logouts were clearing different cookies and you could stay logged in despite trying to log out.

But yeah, I’m all good. Thanks guys.

[mirce]

I do not think that the rewrite rule alone will do it. You also need to change the way the links are generated by bbPress.

[macwise]

Ok, this is the solution that worked for me. I did have to add the rewrite rule, as multiviews isn’t working on my server??? (I think I’m running on php4, is that why?) So, for others who want a wal-mart type bb build here’s a recap of what I did:

I created a page in my bbpress root called contest.php. Inside of that page I put:

<?php

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

bb_load_template( 'contest.php' );

?>

I then created my contest.php page with the content I needed (the template)

The last thing I did was to put these two lines in my .htaccess file IN MY FORUM ROOT FOLDER, (not my wordpress root folder):

RewriteRule ^contest/$ /forum/contest.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^contest$ /forum/contest.php [L,QSA]

This basically says that myurl.com/my/forum/directory/contest (without the trailing backslash)

and myurl.com/my/forum/directory/contest (with the trailing backslash)

will both point to the contest.php page in the root forum directory.

As so1o said, this last part in .htaccess may be unnecessary if you have multiviews enabled (if your .htaccess file in your FORUM directory has this line: “Options +MultiViews”). Maybe someone else can confirm/deny this, as my configuration is different.

Hope this helps someone else who needs some custom functionality out of bbpress.

[so1o]

macwise..

if you are ok hacking the code.. create a page contest.php in the root forum folder

add require_once('./bb-load.php'); on the top of the page. and write whatever code you want in the page.. that should create a static page with bbpress functions..

as far as rewrite is concerned.. im not 100% sure but i think multiviews will automatically translate /contest.php to /contest/. test it and see.
