“As well, if you have an integration with WordPress, bbPress integrates logins perfectly with WordPress.”

That said, if they are in different subdomains you will have to tweak some files (currently, anyway). But it’s two lines that need changing in total, and it’s very simple.

If you’re planning to install WordPress, look for a WP plugin that does whatever you want and logs you in – there are way way more WP plugins than bbPress plugins.

I had problems too. The table was not created. I had to do it manualy. I have all of the latest updates for both WP and bbPress so I dont know what went wrong. To fix the data base issue go to you myphp admin (data base) and give the following command.

CREATE TABLE bb_privatemessages (

pm_id BIGINT( 20 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,

id_sender INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,

id_receiver INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,

seen INT( 2 ) NOT NULL ,

pmtitle VARCHAR( 64 ) NOT NULL ,

message VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,

created_on DATETIME NOT NULL ,

PRIMARY KEY ( pm_id )

) TYPE = MYISAM ;

This solved my problems for now.

Let me know if it works for non-WP-integrated bbpress… if so I’ll see about using it in a couple of my plugins

kannued,

As far as I can tell, the spec for the label tag indicates that it should be as above. I downloaded your html page and css file, then uploaded them to my server. Here’s what I found:

The problem is stemming from the <br> tag used inside of the <label> tags. IE thinks the input element is still on the first line, but it’s really being displayed on the second line. Here’s how I have modified it, and it seems to work in ie:

<label>Username: </label>

<input name="user_login" type="text" id="user_login" size="13" maxlength="40" value="" style="display: block; clear: both; />

<label>Password:</label>

<input name="password" type="password" id="password" size="13" maxlength="40"style="display: block; clear: both;  />

<input type="submit" name="Submit" id="submit" value="Login &raquo;" />

I’m not 100% sure about the functionality in IE, because I had to d’load the css file and place it on my server. In Safari it worked fine importing it as specified in the original HTML, however IE puked it up. Probably being oversecure in all the wrong places again! Anyhow, I’m pretty sure this will solve your problem.

Break tags are a somewhat quick and dirty way to break a line. This isn’t a bad element to use, but it should be used when appropriate, or at least when you want to be lazy and it doesn’t break stuff. (that’s the extent of my philosophy). Try this out, and let me know if it works for you.

***EDIT***

I do see in another resource that the label tag can be associated either way, and should have a “for=” option if the input element is not found inside the label. Sorry for the mixup.

Either way, the <br> tag is most likely the culprit. Adding the styles to those input tags, (or specifying them in the stylesheet) should fix the problem.

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a HTTP_AUTH plugin/how to available. We’re thinking about integrating BBpress to our server, but we’d like to keep the existing user and password list, so that Bbpress would smoothly be part of our portal.

We might also use WordPress, maybe something done for WordPress is already working for BBpress ?

Since I haven’t found any relevant information so far, I though I might as well ask for help

[macwise]

Ahem, Trent…this means you too.

[ardentfrost]

Honestly all I did to learn was download existing plugins (there weren’t many when I started writing them, so you’re at an advantage there) and check out how certain things were performed… I also used windows search to look through the files of bbpress to see how things were done.

Once you see how it is done currently (or how similar functions work), then you can start writing your own subroutines to either intercept, replace, or just create new functions that can be installed into the themes.

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about dealing with WP. I never wrote anything for WP, and the plugins of mine that play nice with WP only do so because people like Trent and spencer helped me test them.

But if you ask specific questions, there are a number of us here who can help you if we know what you’re asking

[macwise]

You can click in the form element if you click within 1 px of the top of the element. It’s being blocked/covered by something. I haven’t looked too closely, but I’m pretty sure the problem is that your <label> tags are encapsulating your input elements. They should be before the form element, like this:

<label>Username:</label>

<input "input stuff" />

Yours is like this:

<label>Username:

<input "input stuff" />

</label>

Try that and see if that helps.

I had the same problem. Its not very hard to do it. You need to use add_action or add_filter. See my problem here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/742

This may help also:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API#Current_Hooks_For_actions

I have no experience also but I managed to do a plugin.

Good luck!

[macwise]

I’m interested in creating my fist plugin. I would like it to allow the user to see/edit the extra profile fields that are present in WordPress when a site has WP integration working. I’m asking for any help to get started on this that someone is willing to offer.

I’m not very experienced with PHP, though I feel I am a pretty quick learner. I have too many questions right now from the reading (http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin) and from looking at other plugins. I don’t think these questions require more than a few simple pointers and explanations about the structure/basic principles of plugins.

Is anyone out there willing to throw me a bone or two?

[Trent Adams]

I am personally tired of having information up to Bozo’s, so I like to use:

<?php if (bb_current_user_can('write_posts')) : ?>

DO SOMETHING

<?php endif; ?>

That way, the users who are members see the content and spammers cannot! (At least I think not….not going to mark myself as BOZO to find out)

Trent

[macwise]

NP. Glad I could beat you for once.

[Stretsh]

This code is written for PHP5. It works perfectly.

PHP4 users will need an extra piece of code, however, because the function file_put_contents does not come with PHP4.

So copy this piece of code and paste it on the bottom of the php file, but before the ?> tag

if (!function_exists('file_put_contents')) {

function file_put_contents($file, $contents = '', $method = 'a+') {

$file_handle = fopen($file, $method);

fwrite($file_handle, $contents);

fclose($file_handle);

return true;

}

}

[macwise]

In regards to Mirce’s solution, I would think a more global (and simpler) solution would be this if statement:

<?php if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>;

--PUT WHATEVER YOU WANT THEM TO SEE HERE--

<?php } ? >

This way you don’t need to find out WHO the user is (user_id), but simply whether or not they’re logged in.

I’m pretty new to this, though, so maybe Mirce knows something I don’t?

[mirce]

I really do not understand,

http://www.dfur.com/designer_furniture/page/2 redirects 301 to http://www.dfur.com/designer_furniture.

Why is this? I have no 301 in htaccess!!! Is this a bbPress thing?

URL=http://www.dfur.com/designer_furniture/page/2

Result code: 301 (MovedPermanently / Moved Permanently)

I wouldn’t really expect this Forum Category hack/enhancement to last too much longer though… Read from here down:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/698/page/2?replies=39#post-5087

/Currently running Trunk 1.0-alpha, and the Forum Cat hack just doesn’t play nice with it. Also, like it says there, sounds like something similar is being implemented into core. I don’t know for positive, but, I uninstalled the Forum Cat hack though..

[macwise]

chrishajer,

Your assessment is correct on all counts. I’m even using the same setup you’re using. (bb .80 and wp integration). As for the GMT, I guess I was just expecting the correct time to be calculated on the memberlist page as well, since it’s implemented everywhere else. Isn’t that what makes the most sense? Maybe I’m missing something.

My problem is minor, and only arises (so far) when I’m using shell to scan through my server logs, and the time on the logs is adjusted for my timezone but the time on the memberlist page doesn’t match up. Just gotta do math, which is less favorable in my case.

[macwise]

fel64,

When you mention the “Hooks”, are you referring to the lines at the bottom that say “add_filter”? I think this is what you mean, but I thought I’d make sure. It’s time to try out my first plugin!

[fel64]

You should use hooks to make it automatically call your function when that hook is called – the syntax is something like add_action('hook name', 'function name') if I recall correctly. Look at existing plugins for details of how to do it.

There isn’t a reference for hooks that I’m aware of, sorry.

[talgalili]

Thanks fel64 for the reply

I also don’t know what to do

Any one else, has any suggestion ?

(did anyone else encounter the same problem ?)

Tal.

[Atsutane]

Yeah. Request already waiting for approval.

[chrishajer]

I haven’t looked at the code, but my guess is that since the dates are stored in the DB as GMT, and the time functions display times as “time elapsed since” that this is expected. Where are you seeing the actual times displayed?

I just registered a new user. I get “Member since: March 5, 2007 (7 minutes)” and “user [profile] registered 7 minutes ago” in the profile page and the admin page respectively. The memberlist plugin shows the time as the time on the server: 03/05/07 at 02:52:44 AM (when it was actually 1:52 AM where I am.) In the database, it’s stored as 2007-03-05 07:52:44

Where are you seeing the GMT and what functions does it affect?

Also, I am using .80 with WP integration (for users anyway) and not using any plugins for the user timezone or anything like that. How about you?

[tseven]

I fixed it! o/

Remember how the cookies “looked” identical?

Well they weren’t.

The cookies created by bbpress added the hash to the end of the cookie name.

Both Safari and Camino didn’t reveal this, but Flock did. I was using these other browsers as a testing platform because I needed to clear cookies in between each test.

I added:

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

To my bbpress config to solve the problem. (which I found on one of the links you sent me)

I actually like the idea of the cookie name including the hash. Isn’t this more secure? Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t this make it near impossible for another site to read that cookie?

Thanks for your help Trent!

[spencerp]

Oh ok, sounds simple enough for me. I’ll handle that later on then… Thanks Sam.

spencerp

[Trent Adams]

You can define the parameters like the cookie name and domain, so you should be able to do what you want here. There is already functions though that can do things if a user is logged in. For example:

<?php if (bb_current_user_can('write_posts')) : ?>

DO SOMETHING

<?php endif; ?>

This has it so if the user is logged in and can write posts (default member) then do something or put in a piece of code.

Hope that helps.

Trent
