I still have this problem. Anyone?

[dss]

I’ve got Windows XP users saying they can’t post in my install of bbPress

they get this error:

Error 403

We're sorry, but we could not fulfill your request for /esprit/topic/102?replies=6#post-356 on this server.



You do not have permission to access this server.



Your technical support key is: 5246-fa61-dfd9-b1ad



You can use this key to fix this problem yourself.

The only way they are able to successfully post is to hit the ‘back button’ after the error and find they have indeed successfully posted.

I searched and didn’t find this error.

What could it be?

[chgogrrl99]

Yes! That’s it. Thanks for the code.

Chris…thanks as always and Fel…thanks for the encouragement…I’m figuring this stuff out…with a lot of help of course.

Thanks again all.

I’ve tried installing it on xampp and wamp and I get the same warnings. When I go ahead and install with the warnings I can’t log in. I don’t get why it is reading ODBC@localhost instead of the DB name I provided which is bbp1. I’m 99.9% sure I set up config correctly, but just in case I didn’t here it is:

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbp1’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘root’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ”); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://localhost/bbpress’;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘bbpress’;

// This must be set before you run the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘blah@blah.com;

About time I chime in here. There is a plugin by Louisdale called Avatar Upload that allows users to upload their own avatar and save it on the server. I have been meaning to pick that plugin apart as to use the “uploading” code in another plugin.

I am sure that if you understand a bit of code you can pick out that portion of the plugin and use it with the current “allow images” plugin. I might have time later to look at it, but if someone wants a place to start, that might be it!

You Guys can have such a limited sense of humor…

Sorry, I started a new topic for this, which I should’ve done from the beginning…

(fel64: I simply want to allow forum users to have the option of uploading images and then displaying those images in a post.)

[tbronson]

Seeking a simple solution that allows logged in users to upload and include images in their posts.

All I’ve come up with is the Allow Images plugin, which adds a button to the editing form that helps paste an IMG tag so you can link to an external image.

I was told in another thread that it’s far from trivial to create a file attachments plugin for bbPress: “A major problem right now is lack of per-post metadata. Even if that were present, this would not be a trivial task.” I’m not sure of the terminology here, but if “attachment” means embedding an image in a post, that’s what I want to do.

ImageShack was suggested, a web service that lets people upload images which they serve for free. You can embed their upload form in your site, upload, then grab the preformatted image URL and paste it into your bbPress post. This kinda works, but it’s distracting because you get an ImageShack mini-ad, and have to go to their site to copy the link (cool service, though)…

I thought of trying a simple uploader script that would upload files completely outside of bbPress and present the URL for cutting and pasting into the post. Kinda like the ImageShack procedure minus…ImageShack. Dunno, this is probably beyond me, though I may try with a canned script…

I’m using 2.3.1 integrated with 0.8.3 via bbSync and WordPress integration. It works great!

Any ideas?

(I noticed that Allow Images is the #1 most downloaded plugin, 7x more popular than #2, WordPress Integration, so I imagine the MASSES are craving simple image upload…

Thanks!

It may not be obvious to you, but your so-called categories are identical to parent forums with some different display code. Just make your forums, add your child forums, and then modify the template so that it’s no longer a link and has column headings instead of data of its own. It’s functionally identical.

> You should know, I’m new to this. I’m learning, but re-writing too much code and messing too much with the database probably isn’t a good idea just yet.

Yeah, okay. Don’t worry about it. You’ll learn.

[fel64]

Hehe, yeah Chris, couldn’t agree more with you there. I was thinking much the same thing.

So, tbronson, I don’t understand. Did you want *attachments*? Or just for people to be able to upload images somewhere? And what script did you end up using? I think now that you can even integrate imageshack into your site, but using their servers to host the images; their api looks made just for that.

[tbronson]

Thanks for ImageShack, that looks quick. I don’t need the whole file attachment bit (I realize I’m a little off-topic for this thread, but it’s kinda close).

The red flags make sense if you’re developing software…

I also found this “Asynchronous image file upload without AJAX” PHP script that looks like it might work for, um, what I want right away. I’ll give it a try and see what happens…

Thanks again!

[chgogrrl99]

Yes…The link above is very much like what I’m trying to do.

I’m sorry if I’m confusing the names of the different segments, I’ll figure them out, but yes, I want each city to have their own categories to post in.

So, if anyone has any advice on how to do that so that it doesn’t look like hell, I’d love to hear it.

My other idea was to do a separate install for each city so in my directory it would be ChicagoForum, NYForum ect. But, I don’t know if that’s even possible and if it is, how would users be able to post in other forums without having to re-register everytime.

You should know, I’m new to this. I’m learning, but re-writing too much code and messing too much with the database probably isn’t a good idea just yet.

Thanks for your help

[chgogrrl99]

Hi,

I want to make a forum or forums like this:

Chicago Forum

General Discussion

Jobs

For Sale

Housing

Another Topic

Another Topic

Another Topic

Another Topic

New York Forum

General Discussion

Jobs

For Sale

Housing

Another Topic

Another Topic

Another Topic

Another Topic

And do this for five or six cities.

How would I do this? I fear the thing will be too big and complicated.

If the answer has to do with multiple forum installations, what’s involved with that? And, I would like users to be able to post in any city without having to log in again and again.

Oh, I should mention that I’m just now learning code ect. I’m at the point where I can tinker with a file if I’m told exactly how to do it.

Any suggestions?

[citizenkeith]

I just had a series of bogus users register to my small, friends-only forum. I would LOVE to see a plugin that allows me to approve users.

[fel64]

Check your database content via phpmyadmin for a capabilities entry in wp_usermeta and, if it exists, delete it. Try the admin panel again.

No input file specified is a standard PHP error. Nothing to do with bb. From a quick google (I have no actual knowledge of this):

The basic issue was that PHP-as-CGI REALLY REALLY wants SCRIPT_FILENAME.

It ignores the command line. It ignores SCRIPT_NAME. It wants SCRIPT_FILENAME.

This very informative error message from PHP means that your web server, WHATEVER it is, is not setting SCRIPT_FILENAME.

[fel64]

What it does is resize it so that the larger dimension becomes 100px, and the smaller dimension becomes less than 100px proportionally.

hostpanic, yes, it is. But it’s not a feature of the plugin right now. However the image editing code is fairly straightforward so you may want to have a look at messing around with that yourself.

[chrishajer]

It’s not located at http://bluejavamug.com/bbpress/bb-admin/ ?

Are you sure all the folders and files made it up there on upload?

Do you have an .htaccess file that might be rewriting it in a bad way?

If you login as the keymaster, is there a link that says (Admin | Log out) after your name where Admin is a link to the admin panel?

Maybe you’re not logged in as the keymaster?

[chrishajer]

I thought it already did that?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/46

Admins can configure maximum allowed file size

(bytes) and dimensions (pixels) of images from

within the admin page (credit: Sam Bauers).



Images that exceed maximum dimensions are

automatically resized (and sharpened if truecolor

images).

Or are you asking for it to do something different than that?

[chrishajer]

Are you using mod_rewrite with slugs or pretty permalinks? What does this line in you config.php look like?

$bb->mod_rewrite = false; (could be true or slugs also)

Maybe mod_rewrite is not supported or your .htaccess is preventing rewriting somehow and that results in the 404 Not Found error?

What do the URLs look like that are resulting in this error?

[fel64]

You’ve got problems with your rewrite rules; wp assumes that it’s meant to be a wordpress page, can’t find it and therefore goes wrong. Not sure how to fix it, but I’m sure someone is.

No folders are actually created in making new forums, by the way. Your forums are being created, you just can’t access them right now.

[fel64]

BG: bbsync, avatar upload and some custom code. If you want some help doing it, just start a new topic.

[fel64]

There’s a bizarre flash for me while loading where the footer moves from next to the sidebar to underneath it all. Is that related?

The footer seems fine normally though, and has the clear: both; rule attached so I don’t see why it would be a problem?

[betwixt]

hmmm thanks for the tip. I’m not going to redesign it all myself. I just don’t have the time to get down and dirty with this code/stylesheets.

I currently use different K2 themes… Actually I don’t mind the forum having another theme… What I do want, is a button in the header of my wordpress site pointing to the forum…. Any idea?

Regards,

Dennis

[refueled]

I am creating a few new bbPress themes and would like to add a couple sidebars to them. Is the PHP include function the best way to do this?

(example: <?php include 'sidebar.php'; ?>)

It’s what I have been using and it works. But I would like to know if there is a bbPress tag out there that does the same thing.

Thanks in advance.

[chrishajer]

I didn’t think you could put bbPress and WordPress in the same folder.

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

And http://areamom.com/test/ points to a WordPress installation. So, where’s the bbPress? I did find this:

http://areamom.com/test/bbpress/ which results in this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/areamomc/public_html/test/bbpress/config.php on line 29

That’s right after the mod_rewrite line in the config. Maybe you have an extra single quote there or you forgot the semi-colon in your config? Oh yeah, check this:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false <– no semi-colon.

That means this you should add the semicolon to the mod_rewrite line line and then this line should be changed:

`$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test/bbpress&#8217;;
