Hi Sam! thanks for your answer;

A my-languages directory would probably be the way to go.

Well, then bb-config.php needs to have last lines changed ;

// Change this to localize bbPress.  A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to 'de'

// to enable German language support.

define('BB_LANG', '');

I tried a my-languages and a bb-languages folder but no way.

Can you link to the language files you were trying to use?

I had an old .mo file stored in my hard drive. I think it was for bbpress 0.7 or a previous version, not sure.

Using Gallery (which uses Smarty) is mostly an annoyance. Getting layouts to work as I want in Smarty is harder than hjust mucking around with CSS, I’ve had to hack code which to me defeats the purpose. Also you have to purge your template cache every time you make a change to the layout, which is a pain.

Smarty’s a nice idea, but it’s ONE MORE thing to learn for a PHP/SQL driven site.

[Sam Bauers]

It should be possible to load both language files, in fact some changes were made to WordPress to address the problem specifically.

Can you link to the language files you were trying to use?

* Side note: We should probably move where languages are stored. A my-languages directory would probably be the way to go.

@iservers

Well, that’s different…

But I just realised you are using bbPress 0.9 – the bb_mail() function has been replaced in 1.0-alpha with one more like wp_mail() in WordPress.

It was replaced in part because people had problems sending from Windows environments. You have probably just pinpointed the cause of that. Just a few months too late unfortunately!

For now I would just hack the core of 0.9 if I were you – it is unlikely to see any more updates. The replacement function in 1.0 should take care of this, although I would appreciate it if you could test 1.0-alpha for the same problem if you have some time.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

They’re no where near the point where they want to pimp a finalized product. Personally, I’ve seen far too many projects like this fail because they promoted themselves before they were ready. Right now, even though there is a stable version, the whole site is pretty much a big public test. There’s too much going on to be able to guess a date, and based on the past, if you held a gun to my head, I’d make things up. Which is what developers do when our bosses want to know how long it will take to build the next toy for our companies. We don’t know, sometimes. Creativity (and yes, coding is just that) is hard to measure.

So. It’ll be done when it’s done. Not by years end. Hopefully us posters can help hammer out the big issues to get them to a live 1.0 version sooner, but it’ll take time

[Sam Bauers]

So in summary…

No, bbPress is not slow like GoDaddy says.

[Sam Bauers]

There are no plans nor do I think their should be.

The premise of Smarty is screwy to me.

There is some idea that out there somewhere are “template developers” that aren’t allowed to touch “teh sacred PHP”. So we need an abstracted templating language so that they can do loops and conditionals in their HTML templates.

I don’t believe these people actually exist and that if they do, they should just use PHP and be trained to a point where they are trust-worthy.

99% of Design should be held in the CSS now anyway. The code/display separation thing has moved up a level these days.

DB Error in bb_insert_topic: Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'topic_id' at row 1

INSERT INTO bb_topics (topic_id,topic_title,topic_slug,topic_poster,topic_poster_name,topic_last_poster,topic_last_poster_name,topic_start_time,topic_time,topic_open,forum_id) VALUES (”,’Your first topic’,’your-first-topic’,’1′,’admin’,’1′,’admin’,’2008-12-16 05:10:50′,’2008-12-16 05:10:50′,’1′,’1′)

This problem has been around since the previous 1.0 alpha releases. The installation would say that it was successful but it would not create a topic as that error in the last stage would indicate.

The first forum is created and it says there is 1 post but upon clicking said forum it presents you with a “New Topic in this Forum” form. When you post a new topic, it gives you an error: “This topic has been closed.”

I used that one sorry about that i think it has something to do with the user roles maybe im not really sure

[newsjunkie]

Curious to know if plans exist to ever use a templating engine like Smarty in order to separate logic for design.

So that no more code and HTML are in the same file

[chrishajer]

How about using the full URI to the javascript? In your script tags, you can use a template tag to add the template path including where you stored the files. Once you are sure they’re referenced properly and actually being loaded, you can go from there.

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bb_active_theme_uri(); ?>js/jquery.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bb_active_theme_uri(); ?>js/jquery.accordion.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bb_active_theme_uri(); ?>js/jqq.js"></script>

And when you say “doesn’t work so far” do you mean it’s like the javascript is just not there, no action, or something else?

[chrishajer]

The default install has a single topic (“Your first topic — First Post. Woot!”) that is tagged bbPress. If you deleted that but the tag persists, you might need to go into the admin and Manage > Recount /bb-admin/site.php. There is one checkbox there that says “DELETE tags with no topics. Only functions if the above checked.” Try that.

Hi!

I have an old issue with bbpress-wppress integration that I can’t solve.

I use this wp-plugin to sanitize user names;

Insensitive

What this plugin does is that whenever a user registered as “Joe” tries to log in as “joe”, “jOe”… can login.

However bbpress is not compatible with this plugin, when activited bbpress reports this error;

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in wampwwwwordpresswp-includesformatting.php on line 453

In formatting.php line 453 obviously we have wordpress function sanitize_user and it seems bbpress doesn’t like to have this function modified.

I just wanted to ask if anybody knows another way to sanitize usernames because it is a pain to have all the time people complainig that they can log in because they registered as “Joe” and try to access with “joe”

[ganzua]

Hi!

I’m giving a try to a deep integration. I want to load bbpress in my wordpress theme so I have a modified bbpress kamukei where I load wp header, sidebar and footer.

I installed bbpress 1.04a, I activated the new plugin, edited wp-config.php as plugin required, I founded that all this still didn’t load wp header and I modified bbpress bb-config.php with;

define('WP_BB', true);

if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {

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

}

Now, it seems everything works ok; bbpress loads wp-header, I have access to bbpress control panel, both, admin and users can post, I can log out… I’m going to keep my beta-testing and I’ll further report but I think Sam did it so CONGRATULATIONS.

I’m not sure that I’ll want to load bbpress functions into wordpress so far because what I need is all the contrary; to load wordpress into bbpress so I can have a very simple and integrated forum. However, having the bbpress control panel integrated into the wordpress panel would be great.

The idea of bbpress as a plugin is very nice but Sam is totally right when he stated that we have a stronger foundation as a stand alone. Perhaps that little plugin as a “bridge” is the way to go.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Okay, I made a ‘double’ cookie by doing this: $bb->sitecookiepath = '/blog/'; but it still won’t let me be logged into BOTH at once. Grr. I can be logged into WP and WPAdmin, or BB and BBAdmin and WPAdmin, but never BB and WP

If I don’t modify the bb-config file, I can’t log in at all to bbPress. Am I the only one who has WordPress loaded in a subdirectory, with the index kicking back to the main root? That’s about the only thing I have left to try and I really don’t want to screw up my permalinks.

Of possible relevance, the logged_in cookie never gets removed from my cookie jar on Firefox when I log out of bbPress OR WordPress.

Edit: Or maybe I’m just a frackin’ idiot.

I repasted in the Auth Keys and now it’s working… Dude. I keep telling people at work that the average IQ drops 50 points between Thanksgiving and New Years (which is how I explain people making boneheaded mistakes). The new guy asked ‘Does that mean us to?’ and I said “Of course! Watch, you’ll make the stupidest, most obvious screw up in your life in a week or so.” Today was mine, apparently.

I’m going to hang my head in shame.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

configure the WordPress plugin and also follow it’s instructions to modify the wp-config.php file in WordPress.

Did that.

Further to this, you should clear out any manual settings you have made to bb-config.php in bbPress and re-check your settings in the “WordPress integration” page in bbPress admin.

Did that.

Then clear all your cookies and retest.

Did that (went in to Firefox’s cookies and after logging out, whacked everything from my domain).

Result: Login is not shared as I think it should be.

If I login on bbPress I can get into my WordPress admin area, but I do not show up as logged in on the WordPress ‘regular’ side. If I go to comment, it says I’m not logged in.

Also, if I have this line in, I can’t log in to both at the same time:

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_<long string>';

I think clearly something’s wrong on my end, but damned if I can sort out what!

EDIT!

I watched my cookies as I logged into bbPress after being logged into WordPress.

WordPress makes two entries for wordpress_logged_in_<long string>! Both have ‘Domain’ of .domain.net, and then path of / and /blog/

bbPress has one entry and it has Host of domain.net (no leading . ) and path of /

I fixed the host/domain part by setting $bb->cookiedomain = '.domain.net'; but I’m pretty convinced this double existence of the logged_in cookie is what’s screwing me up.

[the_Wish]

Alright I figured it out now for my case.

In wp-config.php I had to add both lines

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.com');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/');

as opposed to just

define('COOKIEPATH', '/');

which the WP Plugin suggests to do.

The WP Integration Settings in the bbP Admin section got this part right but not the Plugin Settings in WP.

Anyways it’s working now all the way. Great achievement Sam!

Ah I didn’t think of handling  

But I thought bbpress allowed htmlentities. Maybe only some of them.

hello chris,

i’m actually not able to run the first accordion of http://jquery.bassistance.de/accordion/demo/ inside of mytheme/front-page.php

here is my header.php part

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<?php bb_feed_head(); ?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?>" type="text/css" />

<?php if ( 'rtl' == bb_get_option( 'text_direction' ) ) : ?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri( 'rtl' ); ?>" type="text/css" />

<?php endif; ?>



<?php bb_head(); ?>



</head>



<body id="<?php bb_location(); ?>">



........ etc

and the front-page.php part:

<div class="basic" id="list1b">

<div>



You've seen it coming!

Buy now and get nothing for free!



</div>

<a>Titel2</a>

your bear, you have to admit it!

No, we aren't selling bears.



</div>

<a>Titel3</a>

<div>



get two for three beer.



And now, for something completely different.

And now, for something completely different.



</div>

<a>Titel4</a>

<div>



get two for three beer.



And now, for something completely different.

And now, for something completely different.



</div>



</div>

jqq.js is:

jQuery().ready(function(){

// simple accordion

jQuery('#list1a').accordion();

jQuery('#list1b').accordion({

autoheight: false

});



// second simple accordion with special markup

jQuery('#navigation').accordion({

active: false,

var wizardButtons = $([]);

$("div.title", wizard).each(function(index) {

wizardButtons = wizardButtons.add($(this)

.next()

.children(":button")

.filter(".next, .previous")

.click(function() {

wizard.accordion("activate", index + ($(this).is(".next") ? 1 : -1))

}));

});



// bind to change event of select to control first and seconds accordion

// similar to tab's plugin triggerTab(), without an extra method

var accordions = jQuery('#list1a, #list1b, #list2, #list3, #navigation, #wizard');



jQuery('#switch select').change(function() {

accordions.accordion("activate", this.selectedIndex-1 );

});

jQuery('#close').click(function() {

accordions.accordion("activate", -1);

});

jQuery('#switch2').change(function() {

accordions.accordion("activate", this.value);

});

jQuery('#enable').click(function() {

accordions.accordion("enable");

});

jQuery('#disable').click(function() {

accordions.accordion("disable");

});

jQuery('#remove').click(function() {

accordions.accordion("destroy");

wizardButtons.unbind("click");

});

});

info: the js-parts are in the “theme” root (kakumei/js/) , the css parts of the accordion are merged into the original kakumei stylesheet.

thanks so far.

This looks awesome! I am going to try it out tomorrow… I noticed that some nbsp’s were being “encoded” in my bbPress installs tonight, and was wondering how I was gonna strip them out. Looking forward to trying this out .

Will report back with results.

[Sam Bauers]

@johnjamesjacoby

In your wp-config.php file, right after you include bbPress you should probably clear out all filters and actions so that nothing in bbPress alters WordPress unexpectedly. Use this code right after the include to do that:

// Remove filters and action that have been set by the included bbPress

if ( defined( 'BB_PATH' ) ) {

$wp_filter = array();

$wp_actions = array();

$merged_filters = array();

$wp_current_filter = array();

}

[_ck_]

On some forums you might want to remove bad html markup that’s not allowed instead of encoding it into text. Here’s a mini-plugin to do just that. It also converts <b> into <strong> and <i> into <em>

It only runs when posts are saved instead of each time they are displayed to keep things at full speed. Posts by Moderators and Administrators are not stripped.

(note: for now it doesn’t obey backticks and will strip inside them)

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Strip Bad Markup

Plugin URI: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/

Description: removes tags that are not allowed in posts instead of encoding them

Author: _ck_

Author URI: http://bbShowcase.org

Version: 0.0.1

*/



add_filter('pre_post', 'strip_bad_markup',9);



function strip_bad_markup($text) {

if (!bb_current_user_can('moderate')) {

$tags=bb_allowed_tags(); $tags['br']=true; $tags['p']=true; $tags = implode('|',array_keys($tags));

$text=preg_replace(array("/<(/)?b>/si","/<(/)?i>/si"),array("<$1strong>","<$1em>"),$text);

$text=preg_replace("/</?(?!($tags)).*?>/sim","", $text);

}

return $text;

}



?>

[chrishajer]

What do you mean does not work? What appears in the <head> section of the rendered pages? Post your edited header.php as well.

And you should probably use bb_enqueue_script (or maybe it’s wp_enqueue_script depending on the version you’re running.) That prevents loading a script more than once, I believe.

[John James Jacoby]

Sam…

Logged in as KeyMaster, using the BBP1.0alpha4 (non trunk) and using the BBP Integration plugin for WP (trunk) I can confirm that all cookies, logins, logouts, and admin panels appear to be working from every direction.

WordPress installed in “ROOT/” directory.

bbPress installed in “ROOT/forums/” directory.

Pat yourself on the back soldier, we have lift-off.

Once I am comfortable with my findings and can test this more thoroughly I’ll write a detailed how-to integrate topic ASAP.

---

Side note: It also all appears to still work even with deep integration in the bb-config.php file. Still testing so stay tuned with that.
