bbPress is adding slashes to edited posts in front of all apostrophes – why? How to fix.

The interesting thing is the number of slashes grows with each edit. So if the post is edited three times, there are three slashes in front of all the apostrophes.

When I think of it, that makes total sense. WordPress was created before BBPress. So WordPress can’t “hold” BBPress. But BBPress has been programmed to “hold” WordPress.

I think someone was saying in another forum that WordPress is working towards “holding” BBPress.

[kannued]

Actually, I just tried to login to BBPress, and there appears to be a circular matter with logging into the dashboard.

wp/bbpress/wp/bbpress/wp/

So I guess I will have to re-install everything, starting with BBPress, then loadingWordPress into it, instead of what I have now.

I started my bbpress forgetting to set my time to -4 Several users registered and now all the timestamps are messed up.

When someone creates a new topic, it shows it as 4 hours into the future, yet when someone posts a topic, it shows up as the correct time.

How do I fix this?/What is causing the +4 rather than -4 (I’m sure I have it set to -4). Also.. how do the times store in the db? By GMT, and then bbpress subtracts 4 OR do they get stored GMT-4 ?

There are links to the RSS feeds on every page that has them (… except the front page… what happened it that one… ?)

The URLs are:

http://bbpress.example.com/rss/ for the main feed

http://bbpress.example.com/rss/forum/1 for the feed for forum with ID = 1

http://bbpress.example.com/rss/topic/1 for the feed for topic with ID = 1

http://bbpress.example.com/rss/profile/1 for the feed for the user favorites of user with ID = 1

http://bbpress.example.com/rss/tag/bbpress for the feed for the ‘bbpress’ tag.

These URLs can be easily generated by:

get_recent_rss_link();

get_forum_rss_link();

get_topic_rss_link();

get_tag_rss_link();

get_favorites_rss_link();

or echoed with recent_rss_link(), forum_rss_link(), etc.

The content for the feed is generated by /rss.php on bb-templates/rss2.php and is fully pluggable.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Copy bb-templates/topic.php to my-templates/

Find and remove

<li id="resolution-flipper"><?php _e('This topic is') ?> <?php topic_resolved(); ?></li>

This will likely be removed by default in future versions of bbPress.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Are you using bbPress 0.72 or some older pre-release version?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

You’re using WPmu, yes?

It’s a little different. See my response here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/77?replies=6

You could use the $bb->wp_home stuff, but you’ll have to also:

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

Since MU cookies are structured a little differently than WP cookies.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Try this.

Look at the cookie you have from you mu site. (In firefox: preferences -> privacy -> cookies -> view cookies then find the cookie in question. I’m sure there’s a way to do this in other browsers as well.)

I bet it looks like this:

Name: wordpressuser

Domain: example.com // or is it .example.com ?

Path: /

Send For: Any type of connection

And one for the password too:

Name: wordpresspass

Domain: example.com

Path: /

Send For: Any type of connection

If that is the case, in bbPress’ config.php set the following.

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘example.com’; // or .example.com if there was a . above

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

If I’m wrong in my guess about the structure of yrour cookies, please post what they are (name, domain, path, send for only. Don’t post the content of the cookie).

Hi,

I just noticed on the WordPress Development page

(http://wordpress.org/development/2006/10/mu-and-bbpress/)

That bbPress has RSS Feeds. How do I call them?

What would be prefect is something like the Del.icio.us site, where you can customize the output.

TIA

[kannued]

A question for Atsutane or anyone else for that matter in the know!

You talked about the design being easy if a person loads the WordPress into BBPress. But what if I do the opposite, load BBPress into WordPress? Which is what I have done.

Is it easier or BETTER to integrate WordPress into BBPress, or BBPress into WordPress, both from a programming perspective and from a website design perspective?

[Andrea Rennick]

huh. Still spews erros:

“bbPress database error: [Table ‘bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]”

So it’s still looking in the bbpress db instead of the MU one.

Fiddling with “// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave the rest as it is.” doesn’t change things either.

If I comment out the define custom user table, it works without errors, but still doesn’t share user info. Weird.

Any hints or where I’ve overlooked thing? Something else to edit?

Also, I should mention I’m doing this on a local server.

[mozey]

I got this from the documentation,

“If you’ve installed bbPress into a subdirectory of your WordPress installation, define $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl as your WordPress blog address and WordPress address, respectively. Both sites will now share the same cookies so that when you’re logged into one, you’re logged into the other.”

so why would’nt this work for me? probably something simple that i’m overlooking. But i do have those two variables set (in my case, they are both, http://exampledomain.com), and nothing!, i have to login to both systems.

They do share the same usertable, just not the session cookies.

[Andrea Rennick]

DUDE, that was it exactly – I was missing this part:

// You just told bbPress to use that mu database to look for users, but it doesn’t yet know the name of the *table* to use.

// Change ‘wp_users’ and ‘wp_usermeta’ to be the table names of mu’s user tables.

MU also has a wp_users table, which so totally didn’t work when you point it there. Will try the above and report back.

(the plugin didn’t help btw, at least not originally)

Looks very good. I like the sports theme and especially the way you executed it in a simple but memorable manner. This approach perfectly matches the “simple but elegant” slogan of bbPress.

I am not as good as you are at coming up with a nice looking theme (plus mine is a business site, so slightly more serious topic), so I just modified the standard header and colors a bit. But I still like my new bbPress forum much better than my former YABB forum system. YABB was somewhat slow for me, but the biggest problem was that it was nearly ignored by every search engine. On the other hand, my WordPress blog is very well indexed by the main search engines and I am hoping that bbPress will have the same results.

Quick Version:

Is it feasible internally, to have a user post a comment to the forum and register at the same time?

Detail:

Something that’s been mentioned already by a regular reader of my blog is that he’d be far less inclined to leave a comment anywhere that he had to register first.

The BBPress registration process is mind-numbingly simple, but users first have to get over the two-step-hurdle of registering and then leaving their comment.

So it strikes me that, since the registration details are the same as you have to provide when blog-commenting some middle ground might be beneficial.

I imagine it working such that when the user submits their comment (topic) their confirmation message is along the lines of:

Thanks! We’ve sent you an email to confirm your address. Please return here using the link we’ve sent you to make your comment visible.

From here it becomes a small step to replace the wordpress comment mechanism with bbpress, which is somehting I’d like to do.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

In bbPress, where and how are you loading wpmu?

Are your mu blogs set up like someblog.example.com or example.com/someblog?

[mozey]

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

this helped me in getting bb press to usre the same users of wp. Now, i need them to share the same session. (test user can log into wpmu account, and not having to loginto bbpress to post to forums.)

Actually, is there any downside into making bb use wp’s users like that?

[travelsuperlink]

mdswaffe,

many thanks. you guys did an awesome job. I wish more and more people join the bbpress. :

[Pravin Paratey]

I’m running the latest bbpress at http://yammy.sourceforge.net/forums. After registration, users dont receive their passwords by email.

Perhaps sourceforge does not support this. Can I configure bbpress to display the password on screen?

Thanks

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The DB has not changed. You shouldn’t even have to run the install script.

[travelsuperlink]

so mdawaffe, all the database structure are keeping same as the version I download? I just need to follow up the normal installation procedure?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

There’s no good way to do this right now. We can make this pluggable in a future version of bbPress.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The easy way is to find get_thread( $topic_id, $page ) in /topic.php and change it to get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true ).

The better way is to use a plugin so that you aren’t modifying any core files. (This is untested)

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Reverse Post Order

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/76

*/

function reverse_post_order() {

global $topic_id, $page, $topic, $bb_current_user;

global $bb_db_override, $posts, $forum, $tags, $user_tags, $other_tags, $list_start;

$bb_db_override = true;

$posts = get_thread( $topic_id, $page );

$forum = get_forum ( $topic->forum_id );

$tags = get_topic_tags ( $topic_id );

if ( $bb_current_user && $tags ) {

$user_tags = get_user_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

$other_tags = get_other_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

} elseif ( is_array($tags) ) {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = get_public_tags( $topic_id );

} else {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = false;

}

$list_start = ($page – 1) * bb_get_option(‘page_topics’) + 1;

post_author_cache($posts);

}

add_action( ‘bb_topic.php_pre_db’, ‘reverse_post_order’ );

?>

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

$bb->passcookie = PASS_COOKIE

Might work if you load wp before you load bb.

Is your bbPress URL a sudbirectory of your mu URL? If so, you should be able to use the $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl variables.
