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.

It seems to me that you have permalinks on in your config.php and don’t have the apprpriate information in your .htaccess file. If you turn thm off in the config, it should work for you I think!

As well, check out the documentation as well for the permalinks!

Although it is Turkish but as u see on that page there is no Add New link or when u want to click on Profile u will have an error screen about “Page Not Found” or something like that. I couldnt understand that why i am having this problem.

Also i cant see the site styled on FireFox2

Note: I integrated bbpress with wordpress and they are using the same database. WordPress is a sub-directory of an other site of mine and bbpress is a sub-directory of wordpress.

> 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.

Not if all he wants to do is redirect links inside his posts to the right topic. If he wanted to make all his links look like that within his installation there is definitely more he would have to do.

[Sam Bauers]

How about this….

New patch for 0.8.1 (build 719) just uploaded here. I have not tested this patch on a fresh install, but the changes from the last patch are minimal. Just a couple of line numbers and implementing the new attribute escape function in a couple of places.

spencerp – you should consider using an SVN client to update your live site, it is much easier to apply the changes to core using SVN, they generally don’t conflict with this patch.

[lonemadmax]

I’m very sorry. My SMF forum was not in UTF-8. If your try was in a test bbPress forum, try again deleting all utf8_encode calls in the script (leave the argument, of course).

[fel64]

It worked nicely for me. I assumed that since it added smileys everywhere retroactively it filtered the post between the database and the output?

[Trent Adams]

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.

[fel64]

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.

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.

Kai

[skrimpy]

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.
