In the long run you’ll keep users more friendly if you don’t dictate how they browse. Most people (even my mum) know about tabbed browsing now and know to middle click to open a link in a background tab.

Also, FWIW, target is not (and never has been) a standard attribute of HTML4 or XHTML, so if you want your pages to validate, avoid it.

Having said that… The Google Analytics plugin for BBPress filters the content and adds stuff to the anchors, so that should help:

I am using xampp&mysql

localhost with no outlet to real web

database name is bbpress

I installed it, but I can’t get graphics.

It even shows forums.

Well, here I go again…

Anyone know the way I might call in the wordpress Profile fields from a users Profile page and display/edit those in the bbpress profile.php and edit-profile.php pages?

Thanks!

[chrishajer]

There is no activation required. Any .php file in the my-plugins folder will just work.

So says Trent (and I believe him):

I have created a directory named “my-plugins” in the bbpress root directory and put the file named “path-to-url.2.php” into that directory. I think i have to activate that plug-in but i dont know how to do it ? Could you please help me…

Note: I checked config file and other files like it, there seems to be no problem with the slashes…

Thanks for your help…

You have to add these lines to your bbPress config.php file – not sure who posted it, but it’s not my idea.

//your try to sync cookies

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

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

You also have to edit WP core files I think.

wp-settings.php line 190

FROM

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', false);

TO

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

I’ve got it set up so at http://www.loinhead.net (and forums.loinhead.net) and it works nicely.

[chrishajer]

I think this feature was removed from the core and added as a plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/16?replies=1&more=1

Not sure from the release notes if this works with .81 or not, but I imagine the functionality will still be there, just in plugin form, not in the core. I think there were more requests for it to be out than in.

[macwise]

Does anybody know how/where the cookie domain for bbpress is stored? I am not talking about the siteurl or home…I’m looking for the value “Website” in the cookie table in Safari’s preferences – > Cookies window, or the value “domain” in Firefox’s Preferences -> Domain field. I’m having conflicts with WordPress’ integration when I have a user create new password etc. in bbpress. I need to assign the cookie website or “domain” to be .myurl.com instead of http://www.myurl.com.

[chrishajer]

I too am getting tired of upgrading bbPress all the time and keeping track of my changes, that’s what version control software like svn is for. I was reading this post by SamBauers where he suggested to specerp that he should use svn for updating his live site. So, how does one do that?

I’ve used svn on linux before, but it’s already been setup and I’ve just used it to checkout and commit. I need the nuts and bolts of how to set it up so that I can checkout and use the bbPress core (not plugin) repository. It sure would make changes a lot easier until things stabilize and bbPress is out of beta.

Can someone please give me some pointers? Thank you.

The new bbpress has gotten rid of the topic resolved feature?

And I don’t like it.

Which is why I prefer bbPress v0.8 to 0.81, and I’ll be going back to the old version.

[chrishajer]

I think bbPress is still like the Wild West, and is changing so often that writing the docs would be a waste of time. It’s not super complicated, so if you have a question about how to get a specific piece of data, you can always ask here or grep through the code. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here who are very good at writing plugins. Looking through the plugin code is helpful too.

Good luck and share what you learn. Thanks.

Actually, if you test this new version of ardentfrost’s plugin and delete a bozo user, you will know if it didn’t work because when you go the ADMIN => USERS => BOZO page and get an error, it didn’t work. If it shows up, it did work as that was the problem with the last version of the plugin and the new upgrade of bbPress.

HI, can you help me when i tried to view profile i got this error,

this is happened when i upgrade to 0.8.1

bbPress database error: [Got error 28 from storage engine]

SELECT *, MAX(post_time) as post_time FROM bb_posts WHERE poster_id = 2 AND post_status = 0 GROUP BY topic_id ORDER BY post_time DESC LIMIT 30

[fel64]

It can’t find the function get() because no such function exists – unless you’re sure it exists in your wordpress plugins or something? Are you sure that’s the function you want to be calling in that template file on line 127?

[CMoseley]

I use aggrss to do syndication of my own website’s RSS feeds to the front page (OncTalk) and I want to be able to do the same thing on my bbPress theme (which is nearly identically to my WordPress theme). I’ve setup integration between the two theme systems, and I know it works becuase all of my WordPress Conditional tags and things I’m using in my bbPress theme are working, but when I put in aggrss, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get() in /usr/home/josh/domains/onctalk.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/aggrss.php on line 127

When looking up the code on that, I didn’t seen anything blatantly obvious that would cuase a screw up, but im still a beginner at this.

This is the code around line 127 from aggrss.php:

(From line 123-131)

function aggrss($rssurl,$striptags=false,$num=0) {

global $lastRSS;

$lastRSS->CDATA= ($striptags) ? “strip” : “content” ;

$lastRSS->items_limit=$num;

if ($aggr = $lastRSS->Get($rssurl))

return $aggr;

else

return 0;

}

Full view of the code can be found here.

Any help in getting this fixed/solved would be much appreciated.

I’m trying to test a new deletion routine in the Memberlist plugin, but the problem is I don’t have a WPMU integrated site to test with. I usually use Trent as my tester, but he de-integrated.

So if a few of you who use the plugin and are integrated and are willing to test something, let me know. The problem being addressed is how currently the plugin does not delete usermeta data when deleting the user, which causes errors in the backend user pages (particularly when the user is a bozo). I have already tested it using non-integrated bbpress, I just need one or two people to let me email them an updated file to test with WPMU. You’ll need to know how to look in your database to make sure the data is being deleted.

Thanks!

This fix is what chrishajer is referencing. The ticket is gone, but the fix is still there:

This may be relevant too:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/730?replies=8

[chrishajer]

The relevant section that would affect those slashes, in the config, is this part:

// 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://my-cool-forums.example.com’; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com’

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

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

What do your slashes look like there?

[chrishajer]

radkitten, that’s interesting. It’s supposed to be a checkbox as seen in this screenshot: http://www.chrishajer.com/bike/XLF/bozo2.png

Can you post the relevant source of the rendered page to see if the input is type=”checkbox” like this?

<td><input name=\"is_bozo\" id=\"is_bozo\" value=\"1\" type=\"checkbox\">

edit: those slashes do not appear in the HTML, just here after I pasted the HTML. I thought I saw a trac ticket for that already :

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/596

edit2: they had one slash added the first time, then I edited above and a 2nd slash appeared, now I am editing now and I suspect there will be a 3rd slash when I check again.

Hello chrishajer,

I’m definitely seeing the () error when I look at the source.

I have installed the latest xampp, wordpress and bbpress locally for testing purposes. My config is as follows:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://localhost';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://localhost';

I really don’t think I should be getting this error, so must I configure something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[chrishajer]

Yes, that’s the reason your site is unstyled when vieweing in FF. If you check with IE, you will see that the stylesheet is found. Are they typed like ( ) that in the config.php or is this an issue with bbPress?

[macwise]

I believe that’s what I’m searching for…I saw the implementation at http://test.158th.com/forums. Are there any other examples of implementation for this plugin? Do I need to install the patch for bbpress v.80 if that’s my installed version, or can/should I use the latest patch?

Also, what happens when I upgrade to v1.0 or something? (I can only assume that I will need to patch it again, assuming it’s not integrated as an official feature yet.)

Thanks for the help!

Hi, this is a newbie to bbPress. Thanks for the great work.

Just want to ask before deploying the code into a semi-production environment.

It’s great to hear that deleted posts can be undeleted.

But, how am I going to clean up posts that I’m sure I no longer need anymore?

I pay for web hosting and don’t have a very large database.

Thanks a lot. Take care.
