hey,

i was thinking about a plug with that hides, cloak, the links to those visitors who are not registered or logged in the website. Its a great idea i think for those who need to get emails or more registered people.

the script needs to detect the <a href=""… etc etc code to “cloak” the links

whatcha say?

[chrishajer]

WordPress.com says this about the keys:

“Please use your own API Key and don’t ever share your API it is like a password for you “

I don’t know about advantages or disadvantages for using the same key. I used to use the same key for all sites, but now I get a new key for each site (which is a big pain). I haven’t noticed a performance difference one way or the other.

This is an old post, but the concept still applies:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/title-tags#post-9045

bb_title is the function you need to override with a plugin, such as this one. To see what bb_title and bb_get_title do, take a look at bb-includes/template-functions.php starting around line 305 (in version 0.9.0.2).

Hi everybody

I have created a new forum for my site, Retro Garden.

Retro Garden Forum

Integration is almost seamless in FF, and pretty close in IE, so let me know what you think! And any suggestions to improve it.

[Rhys Wynne]

Figured it out by looking at the documentation. Silly me

Hi everybody

I’m finally going to do a proper BBPress forum, and integrating it with one of my sites (http://www.retrogarden.co.uk/). The forum is here (http://www.retrogarden.co.uk/forum/)

I have two small questions though:

1. How do I edit the look of the login form? At the moment it can be construed as confusing as the width of the column makes it look terrible.

2. On a topic page (http://retrogarden.co.uk/forum/topic/your-first-topic), how do I edit the look of this page? Which template is it in? I want to remove the border around the gravatar, and expand the size of the post content at the expense of the post author information

Pokerlover:

Slug means URL, but I’m not sure .

You have to change the settings/premalinks option to day and name. After that you can change the “Slug” in the Page management to whatever URL you want, for example http://www.site.com/bbpress/.

After that your page links to bbpress, OK. But how you make it recognized as a “current page item” when you’re in the forums?

[chrishajer]

I doubt it has anything to do with subversion.

What revision did you check out? I think the trunk release is probably broken (I could be wrong, but I still wouldn’t use it in production) so I would check out tags/0.9.0.2/instead of trunk:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/tags/0.9.0.2/

Perfection. I owe you #1 beer.

[bramruiter]

Sorry, I don’t check this forum daily, so here’s a late answer:

1. From what I know, it has always been like this. It’s only when I perform a search.

2. The version is bbPress 0.9.0.2 and it was installed somewhere between june 26 and june 31.

3. I didn’t. I only screwed around with the template files.

4. No, they did no update or change whatsoever.

5. Like I said, it was there before the plug-ins, but here’s the list.

Private Forums, BBPress Private Messaging (not working), Post Count Plus – Dynamic.Titles & More!, Akismet, Avatar, Last-Post, Limit Latest Discussion, Bozo Users, BBcode Lite, Move It, Quote, Simple Onlinelist, Allow Images, Human Test for bbPress & Front Page Topics.

6. The second error appears only when someone perform a search. The first error is only noted in the admin area, in the first tab, beneath ‘User Registrations’.

7. Yes. It does happen.

The MySQL version is 3.23.58.

I’m not a big guy when it comes to coding/scripting, so I have no idea what these errors mean. I’m glad somebody wants to help.

[redhousepainter]

Okay, the footer was no problem as mine is just some simple links. I’m having difficulty with the nav bar. In my WP theme (Mimbo) I found this code which I think corresponds to the nav bar…

<ul id=”nav” class=”clearfloat”>

[Billy Wilcosky]

I am having similar issues. I have followed the steps from kineda.com, and it’s not working for me personally. Well, everything is working. I have fully integrated my wordpress blog and bbpress forum. So, users can sign up and use one username and password for both, works great, BUT, first of all… sometimes I guess the cookie part isn’t working, because I can log in at my wordpress blog, then go to my forum and I won’t be logged in. But, when I first did the integration, it worked. I’d log in at one, then go to the other and already be logged in. So there is that issue, then I am also having an issue every now and then with logging out. If I log out from my bbpress it gives me some kind of header already sent error… But, again, that only happens periodically. So, my issues are odd and they don’t happen all the time …

I’m thinking that most of my issues have to do with the cookies. Has anyone discovered any hints or tips to make sure that my cookie code is correct? The cookie part of my code in my bb-config file looks like this:

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_354420af36a7c3b4f6ad07a79c17612a’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ”;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->sitecookiepath = ”;

does all that look correct?

[John Conners]

If you want people to stay logged in after the end of the session, just add the following within the form element in the login-form.php template file:

<input name="remember" type="hidden" value="1" />

Just make sure it’s before the closing </form> tag.

[Sherry Dedman]

I’ve already got the database and cookies working correctly and all of that. I was talking about getting the look of it, etc. Those instructions referr to adding code to your bb-config.php file to do the include of the header from your WordPress installation, etc.

If I linked to the wrong instructions, oops. I’ve read and read many posts on integrating the look and they say to add things to your bb-config file, etc. But I don’t know WHERE.

So I’d like to see a completed, working bb-config.php file for someone who was able to do that successfully so that you can include the php get header in bbpress. If that makes sense.

Thanks!

-Sherry

[Sherry Dedman]

Hello;

I’m semi-new to (though not totally new) to PHP and I don’t always know how things should fit together. I’ve been trying to follow the instructions here: http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/

But I’m not exactly sure where to put the code that is suggested. I know white space matters in php and probably where in the files you place the particular code.

I was wondering if I could see an example of a bb-config.php file that had all of this done correctly so I would know where to put things so they would work.

Thank you very much!

-Sherry

I just noticed there is no box at this forum either.

[bobbyh]

The problem is this:

td background="/images/bg/rotate.php"

Try this instead:

td style="background: url(/images/bg/rotate.php) no-repeat;"

[chrishajer]

1. Cool (thank you), 2. Good, 3. Awesome.

I forgot two other things which may or may not apply with current versions of bbPress. Include the my-plugins and my-templates folders, empty if necessary. Then it sort of makes sense when people are looking and thinking “where do I put this plugin?”

Not sure if the my-* folders are still necessary or if everything goes into bb-* folders now.

There was one more item, but I have lost the thought. Maybe it will come back to me later.

EDIT: oh yeah. Why not include the code for search in the template, just commented out? I know there is one camp for tags and one for search, but people asking how to add search is a fairly common thing too. It’s built in, so why not just put it in the template, and comment it out if you don’t want to default to having it turned on?

Why not something like:

<?php

/* uncomment this to show the search box

search_form( $q );

*/ ?>

Hi chrishajer,

yes youre right but im using the wordpress trunk and bbpress – and there are changes to the cookie handling again in wp. bbpress will follow soon, i think.

thank you very much for taking care of it, sambauers

have both a nice day

Chris

@geld_lenen

That’s a fairly serious accusation and warrants an investigation if true. Can you be more specific please?

bbPress does a lot of filtering of user input to avoid these things. What part of bbPress was exploited? A topic, a profile?

Code injection in bbPress installs is usually a symptom of insecure shared hosting, not bbPress itself.

[Sam Bauers]

I’m pretty sure that’s not a problem security wise as far as bbPress is concerned.

That code you refer to is being rewritten for another reason at the moment.

[Göran]

Thanks for answering but I do not understand how to use it. Should I save a php-file with this code and name it Laxusernames.php? Where shall I place it and how does it start?

Please advice me!

[geld_lenen]

BBpres is extremely hackable for Iframe attacks and code injection. My BB was hacked 3 times, always used last version.

Looking for another now….

[teayudoes]

Hi and thanks for bbpress and the plugins.

I integrated wordpress and bbpress in my site with some plugins.

In the log of my host I find this error:

[Thu Jun 12 13:57:36 2008] [error] PHP Warning: parse_url(/2008/06/urlofpostofwordpress//appserv/main.php?appserv_root=http://www.cdpm3.com/id.txt???) [<a href='function.parse-url'>function.parse-url</a>]: Unable to parse url in /home/teayudoe/public_html/foros/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1794

I have the same errors with anothers urls/scripts

http://www.iglesialcs.cl/newweb/cache/id2.txt

And the last week I saw other similar errors

I investigated the urls and I think are script to attack servers

I’m not worried about the safety of my site, I believe that these script can not do anything, what I am wrong?

It is possible to fix the error by putting @ forward parse_url functions.php on line 1794 (http://derekgendron.com/blog/?p=33)

I have to worry?

Thanks

Pd. Sorry for my english. The English is not my mother tongue

[davidbaldwin]

I added

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

to the beginning, and

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

to the end.

obviously, this calls both the wordpress and bbpress headers.

that makes everything work, except for the wordpress search engine.

any ideas?

thanks!
