I’ve updated. The bug is still there. I got it fixed by putting into comment

<?php endif; echo "<!--"; do_action('topicmeta'); echo "-->"; ?>

I did that because I think that was around where the error occured.

You already have a post for this: Registration Email setup – To User along with Password

You don’t need to make multiple posts, that’s spamming

You probably don’t have email capabilities as a ‘server’ on your local machine. Have you ever installed websoftware that sends emails from localhost before?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’d upgrade to 0.9.0.5 personally but you could try that too

[madeck]

bbPress version 0.9.0.4

PHP version 5.2.6

MySQL vesrion 5.0.67-community-log

Someone told me to change :

$this->rows_affected = mysql_affected_rows();

for :

$this->rows_affected = mysql_affected_rows($this->dbh);

Hey guys,

as many topics in this forum, this is another one concerning permalinks. I have read the FAQ here: http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks and I have tried both, using Options +MultiViews and also using the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php but I cannot seem to get my permalinks working.

http://www.mitstil.com/community is the link to my forums.

The bbpress installation will use pretty permalinks but my host calls it a 404! Please help!

There’s no secret to it. All the info you need is in these forums. You mostly need to make sure that the […] in the following:

define('AUTH_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_AUTH_KEY'[...]

define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY'[...]

define('LOGGED_IN_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY'[...]

and define('NONCE_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_NONCE_KEY'[...]

between your wp-config.php and bb-config.php.

Make sure you use different table prefixes for WP and bbP.

bb-config.php shouldn’t have anything extra defined in it past that, if you had left in WP2.8. Since you downgraded to 2.7 your bb-config.php needs to have define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); until you upgrade back to 2.8, at which point you need to remove that line again.

Your wp-config.php needs to have define('COOKIEPATH', '/wordpress/'); where ‘wordpress’ is the path to wherever you installed WP, or define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); if WP is in your site’s base folder.

Visit the WP administration settings and fill out the bbPress Integration Plugin settings (but mind what I said above, you probably shouldn’t add what it suggests adding to your wp-config.php file).

Visit the bbP administration settings and fill out the WordPress Integration settings there as well.

As I said in the posts I linked earlier, everything works fine for me with WP2.8-RC1 or any of the betas, and bbP1.0-RC1, except that if users log in from bbP, they can’t log out from WP (which seems a somewhat trivial issue since I doubt many users will need to do that).

Hope you can get it working.

peace~

[Atsutane]

Nothing secret. My forum is on subdomain while my blog is on main domain.

All i need to do is define define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.atsutane.net'); and define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); inside wp-config.php

And if you are using Bbpress 1.0 RC1 with WP 2.7.1, you need to defind this define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); inside bb-config.php.

Another thing is, i let bbpress handle all registration and log in/log out process.

Hope this will help you

Hey thanks Ipstenu. I just tried removing this line:

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file= [L]

And the installer is running. I guess this error is resolved (Though now I’m having trouble with Step 3 of the installation, which means I’m running over to another topic).

Thanks a lot

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file= [L]

What’s that for? It’s the only thing I don’t recognize.

[Shagalaga]

Yeah give us facebook connect!

sry, i’m too stupid to program such a plugin myself xD

[michael3185]

Yay – got it! I removed the ‘fix nofollow & _blank’ code, and discovered how to add the _blank in by experimenting. bbPress wraps the URL in double quotes, so I used this;

Click here to get it.

Works fine. Just got to add the nofollow bit back in, though that affects forum spidering from what one of those other posts says. Well, at least I can open external links in a new window (or tab in Chrome). Thanks for the help!

I just re-added _ck_’s code to bb-tweaks;

add_filter(‘post_text’, ‘bb_rel_nofollow’);

but it isn’t adding the rel=”nofollow”. No worries though, this is fine;

Click here to get it.

[chrishajer]

How about posting it as HTML not bbCode, if it’s just you?

[michael3185]

Thanks, just installed that plugin, but it’s stripping out the URL. I posted;

Click here to get it.

and the other bb-tweak code I mentioned turned it into;

<ablah rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>Click here</ablah> to get it.

[chrishajer]

They don’t do anything because they don’t go anywhere. Take a look at the source (from the page you linked):

Get it at <a >http://www.google.co.uk/chrome.</a>

Looks like your regex is stripping out the link altogether.

[michael3185]

I’ve had a read through some of that (brain’s worn out!) but I don’t want to force all links to open new windows, just some to external sites. Users can go external, have a read, then close that window to return to my forum. So something like;

Click here

As none of the members know bbcode it’ll only be me doing it. Well, if I could get it working. Hmm… Sam’s code on one of those threads does it pre-post, so I guess that would work, unless I linked to another post, which I don’t want in a new window.

Ok, so… I added the following code from another post to my bb-tweaks.php;

// add nofollow to externa links only

function target_nofollow_external_only( $text ) {

$domain="travel-writers-exchange.com";	// domain to exclude from target and nofollow

// Strip ALL nofollow

$text = preg_replace('|<a>|iU','</a><a>', $text);

// Add back in when needed

$text = preg_replace('|</a><a>]+http//))(?!([^>]+'.$domain.'))(.+)>|iU', '</a><a rel="nofollow">', $text);

return $text;

}

add_filter('post_text', 'target_nofollow_external_only',999);

It stops my links from working somehow. They highlight, but don’t do anything when clicked. (Try http://mbforum.letsdoo.org/topic/if-your-web-browser-drives-you-mad).

[chrishajer]

So you want links that are in replied to open in a _blank window? Just certain ones, or every one automatically? This would make any link posted in a reply open in a new windows (i.e. adds target="blank" to any link)”

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/open-links-in-new-window#post-15587

[chrishajer]

Where were you expecting the keywords? Keyword meta tags belong in the <head> section of the page. Are you talking about the admin interface or the source of the rendered page? I’m curious because I was thinking of using this as well.

[johnhiler]

Sam mentioned that he might set up a codex for us to start documenting bbPress… so I thought it might be useful to round up useful links with info we could cleanup for a bbPress codex:

I’ve read other posts on this, but I can’t get URLs to work with “target=_blank” when I add a link in a post. I use the BBcode-Lite plugin, and use blah, and have tried every variation of target=, with quotes, double quotes, slash quotes/double quotes – you name it. It all looks ok, but clicking the link always gives an error page of one form or another. Dammit, at this rate I’ll be on failblog.org before long..!

[John James Jacoby]

This isn’t that difficult, and there are many sites that have been doing this for months now, including my own if you excuse my defense.

Glad to see someone is taking charge of this however. Best of luck to those guys.

[exchequer598]

Thanks Ipstenu and chrishajer.

Yeah now I notice that the /forums/license.txt file opens up. I’ve suspected htaccess to be the source of trouble. So now what do I do to fix this? HELP

[michael3185]

Cheers tinskii – I’ll try that right away. Atsutane’s idea worked great, but to have it automatically updated is really neat.

I’ve read in a lot of places that the Meta HTML tags are ignored by Google and others, but it’s got to be useful if some search engines still use them. Many thanks. I’ll even hack around with the code and see if I can learn anything. Though I think there’s something wrong with bbPress. Whenever I modify anything, it stops working (hehe).

[timskii]

Below is the code I wrote for “SEO”-related tweaks. It tries to fill the description meta with something relevant, and adds keywords based on a combination of tags and site-wide words (added via the admin screen). It’s still rough round the edges. For example, it will produce duplicate descriptions on multi-page topics, and descriptions may not be terribly different from the title tag.
