If you visit http://bbpress.org/forums/bb-login.php and use the top-most login form (the one in header.php), a recursive redirect occurs, which displays an error message in Safari. (I haven’t tested it in other browsers.)

This happens in all bbPress installations using the default template (and a few other templates that include the login form in the header). Is there a way to avoid this situation?

I am currently trying to install bbpress simply because zeroboard hates me. I have changed the info in my config.php file as I should have and see no problems, yet when I run install.php I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /mounted-storage/home24b/sub003/sc22569-MMPG/dongbang51.net/board/config.php on line 8

Any clue? I’ve added my config.php content below.

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘********’); //

The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘********’); //

Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘********’); //

…and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘********’); //

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://www.dongbang51.net&#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 = ‘/board/’; //

Example: ‘/forums/’

//

What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘New’;

//

This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘********@hotmail.com’;

//

Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

//

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 = 0;

//

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( dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . ‘/wp-config.php’ );

After a lot of trial and error, lots of frustration I give you:

bbMenu 1.0

What does it do?

It adds a menu to you bbPress site. You can edit the menu in the admin page (Content->Menu) by just drag & drop the menu items in the order you want.

Installation instructions and some documentation are included in the .zip

To do:

– Rename the menu items by doubble clicking them and then put in your desired name.

– Add an bbMenu_installed check so theme builders can make their theme’s compatible for bbMenu aswell as for non bbMenu users. (It will check if the bbMenu is installed.) Ideas about how to do this are more then welcome!!!

Download it here:

I hope so, because I’m running into the limits of my abilities and patience quite a bit short of what we’d really like to have.

[chrishajer]

Please start a new thread for that new topic

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

Basically, it’s not done from the admin panel. You create a my-templates folder, then a folder in there for your theme (so “newtheme” or somthing) then follow the instructions above.

[chrishajer]

Does LDAP do what you want? (Never used it, just know it’s a directory technology, but I thought it had groups)

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/190

Maybe that’s overkill.

Also looks like Trent has filed a trac ticket:

Is that the same problem you’re experiencing?

[jazbek]

Hi,

I have a fairly default install of bbpress here:

http://www.asianamericanmedia.org/discuss/

… using the default the default kakumei theme. I noticed that if you click the little double-right-arrow next to “New topic in this forum” on an empty forum page, it gives a 404 error. The link is pointing to /discuss/topic/#postform, and I have pretty permalinks on.

What is this link supposed to point to?

Note: I just noticed the same problem on this support forum too! If you go to the ADD NEW topic page, there is a little double arrow next to the header “Add New Topic”, pointing to http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/#postform – which also results in a 404. What gives?

[bbolman]

As far as I know, bbPress does not currently support multiple groups (this may come later) so giving access to certain groups isn’t really possible. With the forum restriction plugin you could restrict certain folks, but unfortunately what you’re looking for isn’t here yet. Give it some time though, it may pop up soon enough.

[Nate]

Wow. Who’s the man?! I’ve yet really to dive in and understand all the technical issues in play here–it’s probably beyond me, to be frank–but all the same, your persistence is quite impressive. Many thanks. I think you’re right in guessing that others are going to benefit. Hopefully some of the more capable among them will join forces with you to keep pushing forward the larger integration magic.

[fulltimecasual]

hi, i’m sure this is a really obvious mistake, just installed bbpress, changed everything i thought i had to, and when i got to the login page @ http://www.fulltimecasual.com/forums and entered my user name and password, i got an error message:

The requested URL /forums/bb-login.php was not found on this server.

looking at the address in the bar, it is:

http://forums.fulltimecasual.com/forums/bb-login.php

surely it shouldnt be both forums.fulltime as well as fulltime/forums, so that where i assume the mistake is. how do i fix this?

thanks

I have looked at the private forums plugin, but it seems to be an all or nothing deal based on the user being logged in…

I didnt find anything when I searched, but wondering if anyone knows of or is working on forum access based on membership in a group? So basically, you would allow forum access to certain groups and you would assign users to various groups (or roles in wp/bb terms). Gives you much finer control over who can access which forums…

also, any way to make bbpress inherit the roles as defined in WP? or maybe just add new roles to bb? easy enough to do hacking the code, but I havent looked at the bbpress plugin structure yet…

thanks…

[Trent Adams]

The plugins will not show up in the admin as they are not like WP in that way. Our plugins go into a folder /my-plugins/ off the root (as you mentioned) and just work. There is no admin CP for plugins in bbPress (yet) and nothing to activate. They are activated the minute that you upload it to the my-plugins/ directory.

Trent

[Tweek]

Thanks, got it working again however I can’t seem to access plugins in the admin CP still (can access the template stuff). I created the plugins folder in the bbpress root dir or is it supposed to go somewhere else? Not sure why I can’t see the installed plugins in the admin cp

[Trent Adams]

Take a look at this thread:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/185?replies=6

Then, if that doesn’t help, maybe check out this thread:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/462?replies=4#post-2607

That first thread is about key masters getting downgraded to administrators and the second thread is about getting a user upgraded to key master through the database and the bb_usermeta or wp_usermeta depending on if you are integrated with WordPress or not.

Trent

[Trent Adams]

The long and the short is, I am not sure why they are not working and what you need to do exactly to get it working. One of the lead developers has a post in the following thread with unsupported characters in tagging and should give you a place to start and a TRAC ticket to add to.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/433?replies=9

The ticket would be here

If you are talking about this page with the hyperlinked >> then it would be a bug and I will file a TRAC ticket for it:

I have come across a link in the forums that seems to do nothing past 404’ing out. I thought it was only present in my forum since I’ve been heavily reconfiguring it. However, even posting this message I see the bug here, unless I don’t understand it correctly. Above this post box, there is an h2 element with a post-form class which says “Add New Topic »”. Only the “»” is hyperlinked to:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/#postform

(which 404’s out). This behavior is consistent on my forum as well. The offending??? code is in:

bb-includes/template-functions.php

Search for $h2 and you should be able to find it.

I found this applies to the “Add New Topic” message, as well as the “New Topic In This Category” message, but only if there is no current topic in that category.

Is this a bug, groundwork for a future feature, or am just not catching the vision of something earthshattering?

[Null]

Or use my bbMenu plugin when it is released

Btw in the first post: your forum’s profile links is bugged

[ardentfrost]

mdawaffe’s plugin isn’t as cool as mine

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/21?replies=1

j/k about mine being cooler, but it may work in a way that you like better

[Jim S.]

Ok, you can download the template from here:

Please let me know how I can tweak it to make it better.

The problem with localhost will be addressed in the next version for sure, but it always helps to check out this ticket for reference to any problems with localhost installs:

Very nice, Sabutay. Saved me a bit of time but you left out the “page_item” function as in:

<ul class=”menu”>

<li class=”page_item”>Home

<li class=”page_item”>About

<li class=”current_page_item”>Forums

You can check it out here.

Now on to get the admin menu added… thanks!
