here is a link to the phpinfo.php ::

http://ostardesign.com/forums/phpinfo.php

not sure if this helps… any how, I thought I would share a bit about my project.

ostardesign.com is a temporary url, this site is actually for a MMA publishing company. I was sold on wordpress after I read this article:

http://www.adobe.com/newsletters/edge/july2006/articles/article6/

I then became a true believer after building my personal site with WP. For Victory Belt I decided to run with WP and was originally going to go with phpBB, then Vanilla, then considered punBB for a bit, then found out about the tight integration with bbPress. The WP community in conjunction with the bbPress community had a huge influence on my decision. I was then sold when I found out about the plugin that automatically creates forum posts (http://dev.mbzeus.net/), for then I realized that the integration and community would only get stronger.

I like how light and fast bbPress is, I would like to focus on the discussions and interaction with the community, and I feel these elements would be refreshing in comparison to the other clunky mma bbs out there. And once Dr. Riddoch over at An-Archos creates his media plugin for bbPress, we’ll be set.

Anyhow, for those interested mma is getting some pretty big traffic, and we are expecting a lot of traffic to our site, for we are releasing books by BJ Penn and Randy Couture in the near future. There is actually a special on MSNBC tonight that is a prime example to the influx of interest in MMA, trailer @:

I just wanted to share, and I am hoping to make bbPress our solution, for I know I am going a bit out on a limb with such new software, but I believe the tree is very strong.

Also, our look and feel is created, the site location is currently the category and back-end development. One of my designers just recently started working on the look and feel of the css… just an FYI.

Thanks again for the help,

I am going to call up my hosting service now,

All the Best,

I asked about a .htaccess file in your templates directory, because in earlier versions we provided one that broke some people’s setups. We’ve removed it in later versions; you should not have a .htaccess file in any of your template directories.

bbPress should not need PHP5. I’d like to find the cause of this problem and fix it for good for everyone.

WE NEED NEW BBPRESS

[mozey]

LOL, was i the only guy that spent new years eve 2000 installing windows 95 with no paches to watch it crash !?!?!, (please dont use that as a pickup line, it does’nt work)

i was so dissapointed, IT DID”NT DO MUCH. i did get few viruses tho, and QUICK.

Ya he puesto disponible en la web de SourceForge para descargar la traducción de bbPress en español:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=127140&package_id=217521

Si encontráis algún fallo avisadme.

He puesto el aviso también en los foros de bbPress en español, pero parece que por ahora hay poco movimiento allí.

Thank you chrishajer & madawaffe,

I am on BBpress 0.74, and I checked my server settings which are…

“

Support for PHP 5

With PHP 5 support, you can program using the latest version of this server-side scripting language and take advantage of existing applications and add ons written in PHP 5. You can also run both PHP 4 and PHP 5 simultaneously on the same site.

“

I also tried uploading an .htaccess file to my forum root with the first line stating:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

And I still received the same error. After that I moved the file to my template directory, and then to my site directory, and I still had the same problem. I thought this was strange because I am receiving the same results as those mentioned in the post chrishajer linked.

I then called up my hosting service, Diablo Valley Hosting, which is a reseller of Godaddy, so it was Godaddy support. They then told me that in order to assure php5 I would have to change all of my extensions to “.php5.”

I asked and .htaccess, and was told that there was a solution, but they couldn’t offer support on it.

Thank you so much for the help thus far. I am not sure if there is a problem with my .htaccess file or something else, for I entered the line “AddType x-mapp-php5 .php” into the first line of the file. Anyhow, any suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Orion

I’ve gone through the import process successfully except that the text of the posts don’t show up. The text is in the database, it just doesn’t show up where it should. The titles are there, the forums are there, the topics are there but no post text.

Ideas?

[chrishajer]

bb-ratings is not the same thing, but maybe useful?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/6?replies=4

Required 0.74 (according to the plugin page.)

[chrishajer]

Adding this to the .htaccess in the forum root did it for me:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Basically, you need PHP5 to prevent that redirect error. If your server has PHP5, then this will resolve the issue for you.

This problem was mentioned and resolved here before:

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

What version of bbPress are you using?

Do you have a .htaccess file in bbPress’ bb-templates/ directory?

[startribe]

Hey Community,

I am having trouble accessing the tag.php page through clicking on the “tag” link. I am able to view tags in single view but no the tags page, i.e., if on tag single view I click on the “tags” link in:

My Forum » Tags » bbPress

Below is the error page I recieve.

“”

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

“”

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Orion

Man, looks like I’ll have to move to some better forum software in the year 6354 then

[mozey]

Got it, the explination is here.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/numeric-type-overview.html

SO yeahh, BIGINT is 2**63. Unsigned bigint is 2**64 which is ALOT. The 20 only refferse to the digit accuracy.

[mozey]

chrishajer,

whats with the 20 then? i believe you, i’m just wondering what does the 20 do!?!

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

bbpress.org/plugins has RSS feeds.

[Geezerjim]

I am looking for some help with the plugin bb-ratings. Specifically the functions bb_top_topics. From what I gather it returns an array of topics in descending order of the votes the topics have received. I took that information and put the following in my front page template: <?php bb_top_topics();

foreach ($topics as $topic) : ?>

<tr<?php alt_class('forum'); ?>>

<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a>

</td>

<td class="num"><div class="rating-holder"><?php bb_rating();?>

<span class="count"><?php bb_rating_count(); ?>

The problem is that it does not display the topics in descending order, it just displays all of the most recent in the order they were entered.

I know the plugin page (bbpress.org/plugins/) has this function working as it should be.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Would be nicer to have some bbpressMU Something I really want. Could be done izi I think, just put an id code with each forum and posts and filter on that ID. Only each forum should be able to pick its template and plugins…. well perhaps in the future? wish wish

[Null]

Like mdawaffe said above: Probably not. There’s a lot of custom code talking to two different servers via http, cron jobs, svn actions and a dozen other things.

/Me guesses there is TOO much stuff going on behind the scenes, to even want to consider making this a “plugin” per se..

I understood that, was aiming to some pluginmaster that want to created something like this

Well it aint that important, it would be just handy. Even more if all the info could be pulled (with some filters) so the plugins would stay at 1 central point (this site) and updated to. So no different plugin versions on every site….

Well just some suggestions…

[chrishajer]

I have bbpress and wp on the same database too, and I don’t have a problem with either one. Looking into the gpc_magic_quotes or where addslashes and stripslashes are used.

What type of quotes are added, single or double?

Also, do you have a URL where this can be experienced? Looking through the code, there are a lot of slash-things in there. I would like to narrow the problem down by first seeing it. Thanks.

[chrishajer]

post_id on my install (.073) is defined as a BIGINT(20). BIGINT can take values up to 2**63 which is 9223372036854775807 assuming all positive integers, which the post_ids are.

Hahaha.. I’m used to it… Usually I talk to the wall, but he’s on vacation, so..

Dang! I just upgraded the “live” version of the bbPress (localhost copy) to .74, and that crappy IE6 display is still there!?!!?!?!? The forums are pushed all the way to the bottom.. Any thoughts people!?

http://localhost.spencerp.net/forum/

I could have sworn, I also applied the “fixes” in the blog’s theme CSS file too.. what the heck!?

*EDITED- Must have something to do with the blog theme’s H2’s, #Main, and stuff.. I’ll keep tinkering with her on the normal localhost copy.. But, if someone has an idea in the meantime, please share them!

[mozey]

well, its good to know the limits of your software thats all. However, what i was more interested in is, does bbpress somehow purge posts from the database and cache them somehow to lower the load on the DB!!?!?. Thats the only way I can think of how they go over this limit.

I just wanna know how they do it and i’m lazy to look over the code

[larmir]

PHP Version 5.1.2

Yes, I have the ability to use .htaccess. Though I don’t no much about its parameters. I’ve used it for 301 redirects and that’s about it. Help with writing anything for the .htaccess would be greatly appreciated.

One bit, I have WordPress on the same server using the same database (bbPress is integrated) and this is NOT an issue in WP – only in bbPress.

[spencerp]

Like mdawaffe said above: Probably not. There’s a lot of custom code talking to two different servers via http, cron jobs, svn actions and a dozen other things.

/Me guesses there is TOO much stuff going on behind the scenes, to even want to consider making this a “plugin” per se..

Or some page we can put on our site, but that pulls al the plugins from this site for display?

There might be a way, I’m just not sure off hand which way would be the “best” though.. Maybe one of the devs, or someone else could help you better. Either way, good luck with this!
