I have installed the latest version of bbPress in a sub-directory of my blog ../bb

Links for template pages generally work and so does the link to the admin and presentation, plugins etc.

But the links to Add Topic, Forums etc all just take me back to the blog home page. Is this something to with WordPress Integration which I have somehow messed up?

Any help much appreciated

Just wondering, is anyone is making progress on the new posts front?

I think for many people it could be the #1 reason not to use bbPress, from both a user and developer perspective.

I am using Basic-authentication for all of other authentication and access control on my site, and would like to have bbPress detect that and leverage $ENV{‘REMOTE_USER’}

Is this possible? Has anyone done it, that can share the code?

Thanks,

– Dave

The installation seemed to go smooth, and I can get to the main admin page, and main forum page, but when I navigate to “edit profile” I get the error below. A very similar error comes up when I try to post…I think it may have something to do with a redirection setting, but not sure.

cre8tive, I’ll try and get up a downloadable zip archive of the theme soon. I’ve just been so busy lately sigh, that I haven’t had much time on the bbPress/WP side of things.. I’ll keep you posted though..

Is this going to get submitted into the SVN trunk for 1.0 soon, or..? I’m really hoping so, all this “applying patches” is getting tiresome and confusing, sigh.

It’s one of the main reasons I haven’t even upgraded my bbPress forums to the latest full .80, with category enhancement, just seems pointless…

Sorry guys/gals.. have just been swamped the past few days/weeks sigh. I’ll try to get on this soon.. Also, I’ll have to setup a brand new forum on the localhost, because currently what I have running now on my forums is using various plugins/enhancements sigh..

I’ll have to do one up, on a plain jane bbPress install, so I know what’s really going to be needed/used and so forth.. I didn’t even get to upgrade my forums to the full .80 release yet sigh.. shoot! I gotta get on things soon!!

I’m currently looking at Vanilla and bbPress, may I ask what you didn’t like about Vanilla, in comparison to bbPress?

Hello,

I need to add a custom page to my forum that acts like any other page, but with custom content I have added. It’s actually going to be a “Contest Status” page, where users can check to see if they have completed the steps necessary to enter the contest, and once they have to track the contest’s progress. I know how to create a custom page in wordpress that just points to:

http://www.myurl.com/chosen-page-name

but I can’t quite wrap my brain around this in bbpress. I want the most elegant, simplest, and most unobtrusive solution I can find. I would love the page to resolve to:

http://www.myurl.com/forum/contest

Is this functionality built in? Is it plugin-able? (I’ve never built a plugin). Is there a simple workaround?

Any tips or information is greatly appreciated.

1. Under the “Installation” header: “ugrading instructions” – it should be “upgrading.”

2. Under the “Development” header, second paragraph: “bbPress Trac enviroment” – it should be “environment.”

I know to some of you it isn’t a big deal, but there’s nothing worse than having a professional, well-built application being represented by misspellings.

[mirce]

Thanx,

I am not sure that ?page=2 will be followed by search engines. bbPress have a better spiderability then all the other forums and WordPress, it would be a shame to loose so many pages.

[mirce]

I’ve made something similar. It still needs some work. You can see the result at http://www.dfur.com and download the plugin from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/771

This is my first plugin wrote and it needs some more work with the .htaccess rules. The pagination is not yet fixed and if somone could help me please let me know.

Thanx.

Hi,

Mod rewrite rules set up for bbPress are OK and are better then the ones WordPress uses. However some tweaking can be done to make things better.

I’ve tried to put up together a permalinks plugin. I think that I am half way done but I need some help finishing things up.

The plugin can be downloaded from:

http://www.phpdigest.net/

You can take a look to my test site:

http://www.dfur.com (the template is not finished)

The forum link was changed from:

http://www.example.com/forum/forum_id

to

http://www.example.com/forum_name

The topic link was changed from:

http://www.example.com/topic/topic_id

to

http://www.example.com/forum/topic_id

I need help with creating the pagination mod_rewrite rules (page_2 ). Please let me know if anyone can help with setting up new pagination mod_rewrite rules for this page:

Thank you,

Mircea Piturca and Paun Narcis Iulian.

To throw in my two cents… I personally would lean towards “themes.” My reasoning: since one of the biggest parts of bbPress is the WordPress integration, I believe bbPress and WordPress oughta use the same lingo for that. If a template author wants to do matching templates for bb and WordPress he’ll have to have the “Blank Theme” for WordPress and the “Blank Template” for bbPress. To me this adds to the confusion, and since WordPress has been around and people are used to theme, why make them have to learn more lingo?

[Sam Bauers]

Here’s a sneak peak at the patch functionality….

Still working out a few details.

[Sam Bauers]

I’d need more info to help out. But assuming:

1. The host/ip and optionally the port specified is correct.
2. The domain string is correct.
3. You are logging in using the uid of the user, not their full name. Usually “johndoe” instead of “John Doe”.
4. Your password is correct

Try these steps:

1. Turn off TLS encryption if it is on. Some webservers don’t handle requesting TLS connections.
2. Check the LDAP server firewall to see if it is letting you in.
3. Make sure you have set any necessary options.

Can you connect to your LDAP server using any other tools, web sites on the same server as bbPress?

[chrishajer]

I think template is simple enough, it’s just different

I also personally feel “template” is more ‘correct’ than “theme”. Unlearning “template” when starting with WordPress was hard.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme

I think bbPress is correct, and WordPress is wrong.

Also, if you’ve ever used K2 with WordPress, you know that they have something called schemes which are pure CSS modifications to change the look. To confuse things even more, the “schemes” in K2 are in a folder called “styles.”

sorry for all the edits …

[intellivision]

I agree that how they work is more important. But having used phpBB, where they call plugins “mods” — easily confused with “moderator” — now is the time to simplify. That’s just an example of how terms can be misunderstood.

Newbies will be using this software every day for 1, 5, even 12 years. Every 10th or 100th newbie will waste a 1/2 hour because of the theme/template overlap disconnect, and you’ll come up with a ton of unnecessary hair-pulling-outing.

I guess my point is with all the elegance and simplicity inherent in bbPress, why leave this confusion?

[Null]

Ahh ok, then I suggest to make things simpeler, perhaps on bbpress install:

ask the user to enter his/her askimetkey with an option to request a key if not heaving one

and/or

add an area in the admin where you can change/enter a key

Or should I make a trac about this suggestion?

Hi,

Plz go to this thread and keep an eye on this one since the beta is closed:

i am trying to get the LDAP plugin to work however I get the following error when using the LDAP Plugin with BBPress,

Warning: ldap_bind(): Unable to bind to server: No such object in /srv/www/htdocs/forum/my-plugins/ldap-authentication.php on line 322

any ideas on howto fix?

[Trent Adams]

Without stepping out too far on a limb, I think that each blog (or forum) has it’s own key to keep track of what is done with each user and require their own key. Since they are free, it isn’t too hard to get one, just go to this post and follow the directions.

I see what you mean about having a special bbPress key, but I doubt if it will ever happen in the near future.

Trent

[Null]

Why not put an hidden special key in it? We all hate spam, now we have to sign up to get a key, edit the config file etc etc…

I say, put in a special bbpress askimetkey in it so we dont have to bother about spam

[chrishajer]

When registering on a bbPress forum, this is displayed after you submit your registration:

Make sure to whitelist our domain (http://www.mywebsite.com) so the confirmation email doesn’t get caught by any filters.

That’s not really how whitelists work. Normally, you whitelist a domain or an email address, so wouldn’t it be better to say this in register.php on line 11:

<?php printf(__("A password will be mailed to the email address you provide. Make sure to whitelist our email address (%s) so the confirmation email doesn't get caught by any  filters."), bb_get_option( 'admin_email' )) ?> 

Make sense?

[linickx]

yeah, this forum is still online, feel free to play, I’ve been testing in this thread, but my css needs updating as not all effects are visiable (i.e. quotes are marked up in html, but css show’s white on white – doh !)
