Ehlo all,

i just want to share a solution for BBPress 1.0 Alpha 6 – WordPress MU 2.7 cookie integration — or a hack. My problem is that after installation of WPMU and BBPress, i can not make a single sign on : to make a user log in to BBPress can access WordPress without another login and a user log in to WordPress can access BBPress without another login.

I just use Cookie integration with WordPress installed at

/home/usr1/myweb

And bbpress at

/home/usr2/myweb/bbpress

After Googling i found hint about cookie domain, SECRET KEY etc, but it does not work …

When i check the cookie, the cookie from BBPress is appended with some words for example :

wordpress_logged_in_170v36454

meanwhile the cookie for wordpress is simply

wordpress_logged_in

I then change a line of code at bb-settings.php from

define(‘BB_HASH’, $bb->wp_cookies_integrated ? md5($bb->wp_siteurl) : md5($bb->uri));

to

define(‘BB_HASH’, ”);

Somehow IT WORK !

[lasthero]

When I view my cookies with Firefox it shows that they are setting the exact same cookie. They both set the cookie under the same site and even the same name. When I log in with bbPress it sets another cookie with the same name as the WordPress cookie. I need help thanks!

Here are the config files

wp-config.php

// Change each KEY to a different unique phrase.  You won't have to remember the phrases later,

// so make them long and complicated.  You can visit https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/

Thanks to Sam for these lines, I can use the $wpdb object in bbpress which is really great !

if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {

include_once( '/Full/Path/To/wp-load.php' );

}

Unfortunately there is a serious drawback as it breaks the translation of bbpress. The fr_FR.mo seems to have no effect with these line.

Could you please help ?

[wiseacre]

I have tested with Alfa 2+. There was some changes in DB structure. bb_meta is one of them. It’s time for ( )

NOTE 2: this script is compatible with trunk

If your database size is not a big problem you can wait for next bbpress version.

[Mihai Joldis]

Ok hey alll.

Lets say i have something like: http://www.mysite.php/?cat=623

and inside that category i have one post

and i want to show in that post the bbpress forum

dunno if u get my point here on what i want to do

i want to have bbpress to show inside a page that belongs to a category that lets say i called it Forums

is there some integration code that i have to put in that page or something ?

thanks

The problem with VPS is the system will lie to you as far as how much CPU is available to you at any given time. MySQL being at 90% may be a symptom, not the cause.

You can have just one program running but if a neighbor on the same node is hogging the disk with heavy disk access, processes like MySQL which need fast disk access to respond timely will start to overload. There isn’t a single VPS that has decent disk I/O management.

What you can try to do is give MySQL as much ram as you can afford. Also take a look at how many queries your bbpress pages are using via my bb-benchmark plugin, make sure they are below two dozen.

There are specific tools you can monitor your VPS with that I highly recommend:

1. This one is a MUST so you can show your host that you have bad neighbors

http://www.silversoft.com/loadavg

2. This one takes a little more install time but is very helpful too:

http://www.labradordata.ca/home/13

3. last but not least you want a mysql monitor like MyTop

http://jeremy.zawodny.com/mysql/mytop/

Keep in mind, if you discover (via loadavg) that the load time of day happens at the EXACT same time every day (like on the hour at 9am) that means your host is doing something stupid like backing up all the VPS on the node at the same time instead of staggering it. Some VPS hosts are more experienced than others. Some hosts will argue with you that your neighbors can’t be affecting you on a VPS, in which case the host is ignorant or an idiot, or even worse, a liar.

Oh and if you don’t have a php opcode cache installed (you didn’t mention it one way or another) be sure to install one: eaccelerator, xcache or apc (eaccelerator recommended for ease of install and general compatibility)

If all else fails, replace Apache with Litespeed or lighttpd or get a better host.

Hello,

there is a webpage, http://www.emailhide.org, that encrypts your email address in a secure manner. All you nedd to do is type in your email address and is returned html code with a link with your encrypted email. I’ve tried and now i use it everytime. There’s also a automatic gen for webmasters. Check it out.

Mmmmh… in my forum, google indexed the information that the header was showing when the thread was posted; date, web age, moon phase, hit counter count and next, the thread title and the title of the first sticky Great work.

Now, is there any bbpress plugin that can insert meta tags in the wp header after a deep integration? just like the all in one seo wp plugin?

[ffranz]

oh thank you….johnhiler and _ck_

This will hide forum #5 and only allow keymaster,administrator, or moderator to see it.

$hidden_forums['hidden_forums']=array(5);	// hide these forums, list by comma seperated number



$hidden_forums['allow_roles']['all_forums']=array('keymaster');		// these roles can always see ALL forums regardless

$hidden_forums['allow_roles'][5]=array('administrator','moderator');	// exact formal role name, *not* ability

I hate to bring this up again, but do to the lack of documentation for bbPress, I have to. I know the approach I’m taking will use more server resources and that most bbPress people tell you not to do it, but whatever.

I’m shooting for 100% seamless integration, with the same exact sidebar as the rest of my WP pages that updates with the rest of the site.

WordPress 2.7 is installed in / on my server, while bbpress 1.0-alpha is installed in /bbpress.

I added the following to/bbpress/bb-config.php:

include('../wp-config.php');

Then I replaced bb_get_header() with get_header() in the theme files, so my WordPress header loads just as expected, BUT wp_head does not execute, so most of the styling for my template is not loaded.

At what point does wp_head fail or get canceled? I tried this exact same thing with the stable version of bbPress, and wp_head executed fine, but I couldn’t log in (it logged into WordPress instead, weird?).

Might as well, add my forums that I and a friend is working on.

I am using bbPress and WordPress for user intergation from my blog.

Just a Community

(Still being designed )

I plugged the text into Google Translate, and got this rough translation:

---

http://cartoon.lamost.org/ State Academy of Sciences

Chinese bbPress forum http://cartoon.lamost.org/forum.php?id=2

The question now is, it can paste the Chinese but not Chinese user name registration interface, sinicized also garbled, character set problem?

Welcome to visit and discuss

---

I may be misunderstanding this, but the question sounds like it may be: “I can’t register chinese language usernames using bbPress… why is this?”

If so, that’s because bbPress 1.0 doesn’t allow unicode usernames… only unicode display names.

If the post said something else entirely, let’s pretend this comment never happened!

I have no way to test this code right now

but try putting into a file called https-mode.php

and put it into your my-plugins directory

(you might have to create the directory)

and then activate it in your control panel.

In theory it should make bbpress internal urls HTTPS when it detects you are trying to use HTTPS:// (SSL) mode, even though your main bbpress url is HTTP://

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: HTTPS mode

Description: forces internal bbPress URLs from HTTP to HTTPS only when using SSL

*/



add_filter( 'bb_get_uri', 'https_mode',1,3);

add_filter( 'bb_get_option_uri','https_mode',1);



function https_mode($uri,$resource='',$context='') {

if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && strpos($uri,'http://')===0) {$uri=str_replace('http://','https://',$uri);}

return $uri;

}



?>

[_ck_]

Did you look inside the login-form.php template?

You might be referring to the 2nd one inside the failed login form which is probably in the core.

A plugin might be able to fix this problem by detecting if the user is in HTTP vs HTTPS mode and filtering bb_get_option_uri – this intrigues me so I might write it and post it here shortly.

[_ck_]

bbPress’s filters prevent users from making multiple newlines so they can’t make 1000 of them in a row.

However you can do tricks like putting <em> </em> in between two lines for 3 lines.

1

3

If you want multiple lines on a regular basis as admin, my “admin can post anything” plugin might allow you to do that, though I can’t remember for certain.

[Malice]

Thanks for the headsup ck! Pretty glad with what I can do in alpha 1.06 so I personally don’t need any immediate change.

Take all the time you need for my part.

[_ck_]

It’s this in your style.css

#header h1 {

font-family: Georgia;

font-style: italic;

overflow: auto;

Take out that overflow:auto; or make it overflow:hidden;

It’s happening because you must have the H1 in a fixed width container somehow.

Joel Spolsky has great article on 12 steps to better cording.

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html

#6 refers directly to why keeping an up-to-date schedule is important and why “when it’s done, it’s done” it not an answer.

Now, looking at bbPress Roadmap

http://trac.bbpress.org/roadmap

We are over 6 months behind and it’s is NOT up-to-date

[_ck_]

Essentially any plugin that relies on specific paths,

ie. if you see REQUEST_URI in the plugin, it is likely to have compatibility problems – also anything that refers to specific filenames in the bbpress root, bb-post.php, topic.php etc.

Some things may simply break because of redirects to specific paths or filenames that no longer exist.

I’ll post more things to look for as I think of them, however I can’t completely predict how Sam will change things. He needs the freedom to change whatever he needs to change to make progress (and keep performance reasonable) so I have to wait until he is done.

Most of the plugins with problems should be fairly straightforward to fix, but the bigger problem I have to deal with is maintaining compatibility with 0.8 + 0.9 + early 1.0 alpha and then 1.0 alpha 7 and beyond. I don’t like maintaining multiple versions of a plugin to solve this because it’s tedious to apply bug fixes across them.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Thank you! I’ll hold up on 1.0-a6 for now Any idea which plugins will bomb? I know you made a million and a half of ’em, but I’m curious to know which ones you know will break, which ones you think will break, and such.

[Radium]

Yeah, sorry for not updating on this. Since the forums are completely empty anyway I plan to move into bbpress as soon as 1.0 RC1 is released. My goal was to integrate the forums and the blog, but at the time I originally created the forums it was not possible without heavy modification which proved too time consuming. I have moved my testing of BBpress and wordpress integration to http://www.ridelegend.com/community/ however

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

First, you can’t use bb .9 with WP 2.6. It won’t work right becuase they changed login stuff (I’m vague cause I need more coffee). So you have to use bb 1.0-alpha6 with WP 2.6 (or 2.7 etc).

If you don’t have a SECRET_KEY that’s okay.

What you MUST have are:

wp-config         bb-config

AUTH_KEY          BB_AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY   BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY     BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

NONCE_KEY         BB_NONCE_KEY



AUTH_SALT         BB_AUTH_SALT

LOGGED_IN_SALT    BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT

It’s okay that your KEYs are in the options page. You can set those in wp-config.php if they’re not already there. Which I think they should be.

[chrishajer]

Change this:

#sidebar h2

to this:

#main #sidebar h2

and it will work.
