It was really bothering me how a page full of links was wasting so many bytes on full absolute URI’s with the domain name, etc. when all it needed was a tidy relative URL. The front page alone is 4k bigger just because of all the full URIs on the tag cloud and views, etc.

ie. http://www.bbpress.org/forums/forum/plugins

vs. /forums/forum/plugins

(multiply that by a few hundred)

So it dawned on me just now that it’s fairly easy using filters to make all the urls relative. Just for safety, we don’t kick in the relative URLs until bbPress has gotten past the header section of the template. This makes sure that redirects, stylesheets, and javascript is handled properly.

function bb_relative_uri($r) {return "/forums/"; }	// change forums to your path

function bb_relative_domain($r) {return ""; }

function bb_relative() {

add_filter( 'bb_get_option_domain','bb_relative_domain',255);

add_filter( 'bb_get_option_uri','bb_relative_uri',255);

} add_action('bb_head', 'bb_relative',255);

.

In some cases, relative URLs actually makes Internet Explorer cache better so this may be helpful for subtle speedups too.

I haven’t discovered anything broken by this yet but be sure to let me know if you run into anything.

I can’t progress past step 1 of the installer… I keep getting this bloody error….

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bb_user_sanitize() (previously declared in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/forum/bb-includes/formatting-functions.php:125) in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/forum/bb-includes/deprecated.php on line 285

Thanks!

Swedish translation in the making now

Why this change in the plugins system?? oO

Thx chrishajer

There is a line in the wp-config.php file that says:

require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');

.

If you add any code after that line it won’t be applied.

[Sam Bauers]

You should really triple check for blank lines or spaces or null characters at the start of your bb-config.php file. This part of the error: output started at /var/www/virtual/mywebsite/forums/bb-config.php:1 points to that being the problem.

You should go into the start of the file and delete <?php completely and press the delete key a few times at the start of the file. Then add <php? back to the start of the file.

You didn’t upload your files using Dreamweaver did you? That program has an “option” to add a utf8 BOM character to the start of files, which causes similar behaviour.

[Sam Bauers]

A bunch of options are now pulled from the database.

You will see a significant reduction in queries if you add this line to your bb-config.php file…

$bb->load_options = true;

[Sam Bauers]

You have just described one of the Google Summer of Code ideas that might be going ahead.

https://codex.wordpress.org/GSoC2008#Web_Forums_Export.2FImport_Standard_and_Tools

This is something I will be pursuing to create better interoperability between different forum platforms.

[Sam Bauers]

We will potentially be adding import/export features during the Google Summer of Code program.

[Sam Bauers]

Use:

<?php post_author(); ?>

[m415]

What is the code for posting the author’s name in bbpress? I know <?php post_author_link(); ?> is the name with the link, but is there a different way to get just the name?

[seidl]

Man, I should have thought of that. I turned off the “pretty” permalinks until I figure out how to use them without breaking the forum. Until then I’ll see if there isn’t already a post about pretty permalinks here, or else I’ll create one.

Thanks.

Having done a completely new install of bbPress 0.9.0.1 (to make sure there wasn’t a problem with my existing templates / plugins), when I log in and browse to any topic page I get a javascript error on the following line in bb-includes/js/topic-js.php:

favoritesToggle[ 1 === isFav ? 'removeClass' : 'addClass' ]( 'is-not-favorite' );

Apparently favoritesToggle[....] is not a function, according to Firefox.

Apart from that, great work!

[silent1643]

okay not sure if this is the right forum category but i’ll ask here

how can i make the forum display on a wordpress page? is there an object html code or something for doing this?

ie i want the same header, footer, and sidebar as my blog, i just want the bbpress forum to show up in my content window where a normal blog post would be shown

thanks in advace

Thanks, Sam! Love the new version. I stopped using bbpress until yesterday when one of my clients needed a complicated setup. The new wp integration is so easy

[lilnigsta]

Hey guys thanks for all your work on this project, I appreciate much, now I’m off to open my new present.

[Swap]

CK, I guess they released 0.9 stable just when I was working on the beta build. What do you recommend? Should I do a file refresh or stick with whatever I have?

[retrospec]

bbPress makes things look just lovely

i’ve got a work in progress set up based on a theme I found, then modified it to my own needs.

What does anyone think?

From the upgrade instructions “The installer will either create a new config file or show you the contents to paste into a file manually. As soon as your new config file is created and validated by the installer, you should be redirected to your bbPress front page.”

This did not occur. It continued as new. I tried a third time with a fresh upload.

The errors at the top of the page I neglected to include in the first post:

bbPress database error: [Table ‘headonra_forum.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT ID FROM bb_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’

bbPress database error: [Table ‘headonra_forum.bb_users’ doesn’t exist]

I could not log in with new or old details.

Restoring old version one more time till some advice comes down.

[olgaberrios]

Hi! Thanx! I have a question. Installer says:

bbPress is already installed, but appears to require an upgrade.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

I click on upgrade script and it says:

You’re running in safe mode which does not allow this upgrade script to set a running time limit. Depending on the size of your database and on which parts of the script you are running, the script can take quite some time to run (or it could take just a few seconds). To throw caution to the wind and run the script in safe mode anyway, remove the first few lines of code in the bb-admin/upgrade.php file. Backups are always a good idea.

Any idea?

[Ivan]

I resolved! I have tried a new install and this time i create a new keymaster with a different name that my old moderator name and it works!! (i think was this).

I didn’t anything else different that my first install

[Ivan]

I have upgraded to bbpress 0.9 with some critical problems:

I cannot create de keymaster

When i have gone to my forum the post not appeard (I out the correct database)

When i tried to login i anly see a blanl page

[serimu]

_ck_ thanks for your reply,

I contacted to technical service, and they said they opened multiview option. But it did not work. And they gave me virtual host configuration:

The error I saw is, ” page not found error”

I use wordpress in my root directory, and I use bbpress in subfolder named as forum. I think wordpress’ .htaccess file do not interfere with the one for forums.

I also asked for httpd.conf settings, but the technical stuff said, directadmin uses very clean httpd.conf settings, and their virtual host setup is nearly the same thing, so they gave virtual host settings:

<Directory /home/abc.com/public>

Options +Includes -Indexes +MultiViews

</Directory>

Technical stuff also, did not figure out why this problem occurs. And he also said multiviews option could reason some security problems.

I’ve written my own custom plugin to have bbPress use my site’s authentication system (it’s not wordpress). It’s working beautifully (for the most part). I replace bb_is_user_logged_in and bb_current_user (and the latter sets bb_set_current_user).

The problem is this: AJAX calls to add a new tag, to remove an existing tag (your own or as admin), or to delete a post all fail with a “you don’t have permission to do that”. I see that other plugins have had that problem too. However, if I submit the request using the old school (non-AJAX) url, it works just fine.

So I’m guessing there’s something unique in the AJAX calls and that code seems dense to me. Can anyone suggest some places to check first?

[kinthehouse]

macbis, after 8 months since you posted I kept hitting this when I tried to install bbPress in a subdirectory inside WPMU. Your fix worked just dandy! Thank you.. now on to doing the rest of the integration.
