I seem to be having trouble logging in at all in bbpress. I integrated it successfully with WordPress, but I can’t login with my wordpress user name and password. I figured, something must be up, so I registered a new account in bbpress to try it out – password was mailed and everything – and when I went to login, still nothing. The page refreshes but goes nowhere and doesn’t say I’m logged in. Seems like a mod rewrite issue, but I can’t figure out what it is. During the initial install I set the config to clean urls, then used an .htaccess like the following:

# BEGIN BBPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /location_of_install/

Options +MultiViews

</IfModule>

# END BBPress

After doing so I kept getting 404’s when clicking on topics, etc (only to find out later I needed to fix my url at the beginning of config). Now everything is working except logins. Any ideas?

There’s no plugin folder in the bbpress distribution. Where to put the php plugin files to be sure they’ll get parsed automatically ?

hello,

Please, where could I find the mo file to translate (in French in my xase) and where must i place it on the bbpress install ?

Thanks

Copying from this post, by mdawaffe

mod_rewrite:

bbPress can generate a sample .htaccess file for you if you log in and browse to bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php. Copy the output and save it into your .htaccess file. Alternatively, you might be able to forgo the rewrite rules and instead set Options +MultiViews

This is what I am using

# BEGIN BBPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /location_of_install/

Options +MultiViews

</IfModule>

# END BBPress

Until/if there is a category for showing off, I will go first.

It is bits and pieces swipped from the wp support forms, and a we changed the colors.

This install, was in import from punbb. I did not make an import script or anything automated. I did it all by editing the sql files. The bbPress version went live about two weeks ago.

I have a second a second install, that I did alot of work on the templates, made it all table free.

I am not yet ready to share that one, but since this forum is up, and all the recent work here at bbPress, I am cleaning it up and re-installing it. Once I have it a little cleaner I will share it to.

I’d like to see what people have done with it, I’m trying to get something happening on my site and I’m failing at the most basic level.

[febwa1976]

OK – This is what I did at the beginning.

ASO has cpanel.

I went to cpanel and created “subdomain” called “forum”

When you do this cpanel automatically creates a directory “forum”

I uploaded BBpress to this directory.

I created a database in cpanel and completed the fields in config.php

I tried $bb->domain = ‘http://forum.domain.com&#8217;;

$bb->path = ‘/forums/’; plus a lot of others.

Does not work.

So,

I went to a current subdomain I have http://test.domain.com and in cpanel physically created a directory /forum/.

I populated config.php with the data and it WORKS! (looks good by the way!!).

The only thing is that my forum is at

test.domain.com/forum/

I cannot get it to the root at

test.domain.com

(by the way when I install WP to testexample.domain.com it works first time every time and I do not have to install it to, and call it from testexample.domain.com/wpdirectory/

Sorry for the long post and hope it is clear…

What am I missing here?

I just had a chat with Patrick on Live Messenger, the guy that runs phpBBhacks.com , and he said, you’ll mostly have to work directly with the database.

Or atleast that’s how he does it, he said. Also, I’m not sure if this would, or could possibly help in any way, but.. they wrote up this article: “Write a converter with the Unified Convertor System.”

Of course, like anyone would do, they made it up for the people to convert from their current forum software, to their’s, but, wasn’t sure if maybe you devs could use it to benefit yourselves or not?

Just wanted to throw this out onto the table for ya’ll.. I think it’s great that bbPress made a official release finally.. and *hopefully* soon, I’ll get to making themes for it.

/Sidenote quick: I had dealt with phpBB before, for a few good years, installed it for peoples, for money, and shot out a few themes too. Submitted them to the phpBBhacks.com site, and had patrick in the MSN mess list for a few years..

Hi

Is bbPress supposed to create an .htaccess file for mod_rewrite URLs? I was expecting this, like in WordPress, but there wasn’t a file after install. Should I just create my own .htaccess?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

What is the url you’re tring to install it to?

http://subdomain.domain.com/forums/ ?

If that’s the case, you need to install bbPress in the directory on your server that that url points to. You config should then look like:

$bb->domain = 'http://subdomain.domain.com';

$bb->path = '/forums/';

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

I’ve updated the Registration integration documentation to link to a couple plugins you may find useful when integratinog WordPress and bbPress.

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

bbPress Plugin: http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/430

When we have a better place to put these plugins, I’ll let you know.

Making Plugins

bbPress has a plugin API that functions exactly the same as WordPress’. All the familiar functions such as do_action(), add_filter() and so forth are found in bbPress. One of our goals is to make bbPress as pluggable as possible. If you have suggestions for new hooks or other improvements, please let us know.

Is there going to be a Your bbPress category?

It would be nice to show off some of the things we have been tinkering with for the last year or so.

I`ve uploaded the po file:

Maybe it’s the wrong place to write, but the RSS link from main forum page (http://bbpress.org/forums/rss/) replay with a 404 error, the no nicename link (http://bbpress.org/forums/rss.php) works fine, then there is a problem in the permalink structure maybe?

[Matt Mullenweg]

We link to the IRC channel here:

Development

It’s fairly quiet right now.

[Matt Mullenweg]

It shouldn’t be too many, just try it.

You can read about us internationalizing things here:

[Elad Salomons]

Just one more quick one: how many strings are still hard coded into bbPress?

[Matt Mullenweg]

bbPress uses the exact same translation framework, gettext.

Large parts of it have already been translated as part of WordPress.com, but we don’t want to localize the default templates until we have proper themes. (Like in WP.)

[Elad Salomons]

Can bbPress be localized like WP?

[winnopeg]

Plugins? Awesome, now I really, really want to get using this.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

If you define('WP_BB', true);, you still have to call the WordPress script yourself.

put require_once('../wp-config.php'); (or whatever the right path is) in bbPress’ config.php.
