i saw in the “how to delete a forum?” thread that it has to be done from the backed db, is a post similar? i had expected to see this option in the admin, or an option on the post itself, but i’m not sure if this option isn’t available, or if something is wrong with my install

thanks

and let me just add i am so happy bbpress is ready to roll

On one of my installs I can use the .htaccess created by bbPress, BUT, I also get the 500 internal server error with the tags. I have the above correction in place and I still get the 500 internal server error.

Multiviews still works just fine though.

bbPress should get along with WPMU just as well as it does with WP. See https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

[mozey]

how do bbpress and WPMU get along?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

bbPress now has a tiny FAQ section in its Documentation.

For now, it covers the following topics.

Pretty Permalinks.

Useful Plugins when integrating with WordPress.

Where to put custom plugins and templates.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

root9, this is due to a typo in bbPress rewrite rules. Use these instead: https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

This is now a better resource: https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

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

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The rewrite-rules.php file has a few typos. Try this:

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

[Aaron]

Yeah, that was a little confusing. Thanks for clarifying.

FYI, I just recieved an email from the bbpress dev mailing list about this being updated. It is now less confusing on the config sample to.

[Aaron]

When I use this option

$bb->wp_table_prefix = false; // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.

Set it to true, and use my prefix, I am running into this error:

bbPress database error: [Table 'dbname.1users' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM 1users WHERE user_login = 'ergate' AND SUBSTRING_INDEX( user_pass, '---', 1 ) = '*****[moderated]*****'

bbPress database error: [Table 'dbname.1users' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM 1users WHERE user_login = 'ergate'

Even if I intentionally put the wrong db prefix, it still gives this same error.

But as long as I use keep using the old integration code in the config file

// use the WP user table for your bbpress user list

define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp_users');

the login works just fine.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Those two line look fine to me.

You are definitely missing files, though: http://www.thai-boxing.org/muay-thai-forum/bb-includes/

Not all of them are there.

Are you trying to integrate bbPress with WordPress? That would explain why bbPress did not complain that wp-functions.php was missing.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Try

require_once(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/wp-config.php');

in bbPress’ config.php.

So you want to have two sets of plugins?

If you find youself wanting to do this, go for a second instllation. (make sure you use different prefix if you want to use the same database).

[planetphillip]

I had the same problem, but after reading the Ulitmate bbPress Guide (http://www.devlounge.net/articles/the-ultimate-bbpress-guide/1/) I realised I had made mistakes on these lines of my config file:

#

$bb->wp_table_prefix = false; // 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix.

#

$bb->wp_home = false; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

#

$bb->wp_siteurl = false; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

I replaced the FALSE with TRUE instead of adding the actual urls and the'wp_'. Your problem might be completely different but maybe you made the same mistake as I did?

As a side note it seemed obvious to me that if it wasn’t FALSE then I should set it to TRUE, but maybe not everybody agrees.

[ear1grey]

I wonder if the plugins page should itself be output from a plugin so it could be replaced with an alternative.

[mozey]

how about some nice permalinks?

something like what http://www.vbseo.com/ does for VB.

For the sake of keeping BBpress light. Could this be implented with a plugin?

[mozey]

I cant agree with more rigour

[tommyswf]

i would try this.

got the answer with this post https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/4?replies=3#post-16

thanks

[jazzle]

I just wanted to start a thread to express my strong belief that bbPress should stay as light as possible.

For example, there is talk in this forum about emoticons. I believe that they, and similar things should be made as plugins only.

As long as the admin page for plugins remains clean (unlike the wp one imho) this will be fine.

Perhaps plugins should be categorised.

[jazzle]

This is probably because you have have $bb->mod_rewrite = true; but no .htaccess file.

Have a look at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/13

[chaaban]

i’m a total newbie in bbpress … but in wordpress you could use instead of the url .. the blog url example :

get_settings(‘siteurl’);

to get the blog url …

[gnawph]

Oops, removed my site specific urls.

Well, the point of the entire plugin is to integrated with WordPress. I wouldn’t want to have my smiley images stored in two different locations and I’m not entirely sure were to edit my default WP smiley locations.
