sorry about the mis communication..

the latest code for bbpress.. coz the is_serialized function is in the latest code but not in blix i think…

Well, I came up with an ugly fix, especially since I don’t actually know what I’m doing.

I’ve been trying to integrate the BBpress forum right inside my WP theme, which is what I imagine you were trying to do.

To fix it I added this switch right at the top of my bbpress template header:

$bbpressswitch = 1;

unset($_SERVER);

Then I went into classes.php for wordpress and put an if/else ‘switch’, basically:

The first line there is 1645 in my file

function build_query_string() {

$this->query_string = ”;

foreach ($this->public_query_vars as $wpvar) {

if (isset($this->query_vars[$wpvar]) && ” != $this->query_vars[$wpvar]) {

$this->query_string .= (strlen($this->query_string) < 1) ? ” : ‘&’;

// bug fix for BBpress integration

if ($bbpressswitch == 1) {

// $this->query_string .= $wpvar . ‘=’ . rawurlencode($this->query_vars[$wpvar]);

// if the url is being accessed from a page outside of WP that is using the header

// or other data, turn off this URL encoding.

} else {

$this->query_string .= $wpvar . ‘=’ . rawurlencode($this->query_vars[$wpvar]);

}

// end of bug fix

}

}

It’s ugly, and I’m a n00b at this stuff, but it does seem to have cleaned up my error. I guess the bbpress URL’s don’t work so good when sent through the WP URLencode setup, so turning them off when going into a BBpress page seemed like it might work.

I don’t know if there are any other repurcussions from this change, but again, it turned off the error, and I haven’t seen any fallout…yet.

There are other sites online that seem to offer a fix for the same issue, like this:

http://forum.j-prosolution.com/openwp-bugreport/2637-warning-rawurlencode-expects-parameter-1-string.html

But the fix they suggest kills all of your static pages or category links and always sends you to the main blog page.

Hi,

On the frontpage (bbpress index) you can see the latest discussions showing: topic, posts, Last Poster, refreshnesses.

The posts section counts all posts from that topic, INCLUDING the start topic. How can I exclude this first post? So reply = posts count – 1

Thanx

[Null]

Well I think it safe to assume that a function like this; ristricting forum postings for admin/ moderators only, will be added in future bbpress release, cause all forums can do this.

So I will wait for a “Only admin/ moderators can make new posts in this forum” option.

Thx

Ok….I had to uninstall and then re-install to update the options in the database. It is working now!

[Trent Adams]

Anyone having an issue with the plugin options not saving, so it doesn’t work?

When I was a wee HTML coder in the 90s at the beginning of the .COM boom in Australia, most of the clients I built sites for wanted counters at the bottom of their pages. This was something I enjoyed placing at the footer of my web pages because I could go back and visit some of my sites and see 37 people had viewed my webpage! We would feed this back to the clients to measure our success.

Back then, there wasn’t much in the way of stats packages like urchin. There was no google either.

At the work Christmas Party we joked that about 50% of the time we were tripping the counters ourselves. They weren’t very reliable.

This trend faded with the advent of stats packages and the disappearance of the blink tag (and MC hammer).

Anyway I’ve created my own for nostalgic purposes. Maybe it’s a mid life crisis. See the bottom of this page! I started at zero, honest! At the time of this post it’s got to 12. That would have been me.

If you want to download it for your bbPress forum it’s here. I would appreciate it if you posted about this in your forum! http://www.freelancewebdeveloper.net.au/topic.php?id=49

Just unpack the ye-olde-counter.zip and upload the counterinstall.php file to your root folder and then browse to it. This creates a table for your counter in your MySQL database. Delete this file after you run it.

Then upload the ye-olde-counter.php file to your my-plugins directory. You may need to create this.

Place the code <div id="counter"><?php ye_olde_counter(); ?></div> somewhere in in the footer div tag of your ‘bb-tempaltes/footer.php’ file and place these in your stylesheet

#counter{text-align: center;padding-top: 20px;}

.counter_number {color: red;}

Enjoy! and please let me know how you go.

you may wish to edit those styles.

Nothing is up yet, but maybe post something over at the following link because it might be just adding a little code to add a forum list to the code in this topic. Might be quick for someone. I would like this as well!

Hey all,

I just started using bbPress yesterday, and as a WordPress and longtime phpBB user I’m pretty happy with it.

The only drawback I see as a critical flaw right now is the lack of any kind of security / role-based restrictions on specific forums. I’d like to be able to pull over a phpBB2-based forum that I run, and using the phpbb2bbpress migration script another poster wrote, I was able to migrate all of the content over perfectly. However, I had at least a couple of private forums that are access-restricted based on user permissions, and I can’t really complete the migration until I can lock those forums down.

Has anyone written a plugin (or does anyone know if this feature is coming soon?) that will allow role-based access to a specific number of forums in a bbPress installation? I don’t want to lock down the whole app (which I’ve seen a couple of threads about), just a couple of forums within the install.

Thanks in advance-

[Trent Adams]

Actually, you have your name being /forum/ and then when it goes to the forum, it is ironically named forum as well. Hense, the:

If your forum was called discussions it would come up as:

Problem for the 404 error seems to me to be because something is wrong with your fancy permalinks. I would check out the following link and make sure everything is according to the docs:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

If you still can’t get it working, then maybe turn off the permalinks in the config.php file to make sure it is the permalinks that are causing the problem.

[Trent Adams]

It can be done, because wordpress, bbpress and wordpress MU all use the same user table because you can login to all 3 sites with the same information and user table (3 different bbpress installs).

Trent

[Trent Adams]

What I would try is getting bbpress site 2 using the WP 1 users directly. Try using the cookie information from the docs:

If bbPress is not installed in a subdirectory of your WordPress install, you’ll probably need to adjust both bbPress’ and WordPress’ cookies to meet your specific requirements. Below is a brief outline of the variables and constants that control the cookie behavior in the two programs.

PHP bbPress WordPress

name $bb->usercookie USER_COOKIE

name $bb->passcookie PASS_COOKIE

path $bb->cookiepath COOKIEPATH

path $bb->sitecookiepath SITECOOKIEPATH

domain $bb->cookiedomain COOKIE_DOMAIN

I think this does that already:

My situation is this: I have two WP installations both oıf which require BBPRESS. So I installed bbpress_1 on WP_1 and did the integration. Everything works fine. My second WordPress installation WP_2 takes its users from WP_1. So in the config.php file for bbpress_2 I gave the info for WP_1. I installed the integration plugin to WP_2. But the integration does not work with bbpress_2.

My guess about what’s going on is this. WP_2 bbpress integration uses the user table from WP_2 as well (as could be expected) But since WP_2 uses the table from WP_1, its own user table which bbpress_2 uses to integrate is empty, hence no integration.

Could this be the problem and how do I get around it?

[snowcrash]

bbpress with plugins such as this is really coming along – great stuff.

Now if only there was a forum subscribe version, which would send out an email indicating there is a new post on a forum you’ve subscribed too (and better still, could be set to send out only one email or one for each new forum post). Of course probably asking for too much at this stage of development

[spencerp]

Yup, it works for me if I have pretty permalinks, and no pretty permalinks set. I did exactly as said on here:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

And she’s working.. see it in action here:

Any progress about:

“Would be nice to add total guests too”

– Good idea … i’ll give it a try

“Great plugin, if you made this one AJAXED it would be even greater!”

– Thought about it, but this would be easer to realize with next version of bbpress (current version only loads bb_head() when topic is displayed)

??

[Trent Adams]

I don’t want the permalinks on my forum. If you need to test it with them on, then maybe Spencer will (Here is the link for directions).

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/

I would assume be the one test without permalinks on if I could!

Thanks,

It would be great if I could stop “bozos” that register in my bbPress forum from being moved over to WordPress when using the bbpress-integration plugin located at:

http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/438

Anyone have an idea how to put a check in for Bozo users not being added?

Currently the bbPress (in its infancy) does not have facility to save options and preferences in the database. This plugin creates and manages the options database in bbPress.

The will give facility to other plugins and hacks to store the preferences in database and retrieve it on the fly. The plugin also gives a common admin panel where small preference for plugins can be accesses from. the panel can be accessed by going to

Admin » Site Management » Site Options.
