That would be great if you could do that Atsutane as it allows you to have the ‘working’ code up and the ‘work in progress’ code as well! Just a thought!

Steven,

I not sure of the ‘exact’ best procedure of combining bbPress and WPMU, but these are some users that have it going:

Simpler integration with WordPress

https://codex.wordpress.org/Ergate/wpmu_bbPress_integration

https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2166&replies=10

It is a little different with WPMU as the table structures are a little different, but those posts seem to most likely have the key. Integrating with normal WP is much easier.

You can have two developers (macwise and bbPress core team) working on the same code in different places. I think svn is smart enough to figure it out when you commit and svn up.

Hi,

Watching the TRAC, I’m seeing some new drag and drop functions for ordering the forums. Is this true? Cause I was working on a plugin to do this based on my bbmenu plugin. If this is true, I can stop devloping this, so let me know

[Null]

I suggest to SEARCH these forums first, cause your questions are answered many times before. I also suggest to look at the documentation and plugins available on this site

Ok, what I want to do with the cookie is make it so that a someone logged into the forum gets special attention on my site…

So, I need to get this sorted: is the random alphanumeric code at the end of the cookie name (bb_pass_alphanumeric code or bb_user_alphanumeric code) just a per user specific or can I just copy and paste MY cookie’s name as the cookie name?

… I have looked in what I would say is the logical place to put the set cookie bit but then again, i don’t know much about bbpress…

So can someone help me either find how to read the cookie per user or whether it is possible to just use the cookie name that is set for me…

[tseven]

Ok… Let me start off by saying I’m not your “average” user seeking help. I’ve spent the last 2-3 hours combing this forum and trying almost every combination of cookie configurations and tweaking.

My site is setup like this:

domain.com/blog

domain.com/forum

This is what I have thus far:

In my bbpress config.php

$bb->cookiedomain = '.domain.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

In my wpmu wp-settings.php around line 245

if ( !defined('COOKIEPATH') )

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

if ( !defined('SITECOOKIEPATH') )

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

//define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.' . $current_site->domain);

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

Of course I replaced “domain.com” with my actual domain.

The result is I get a total of 4 cookies when I login into both sites.

Both sets are identical except expiration. (I even edited the expiration date with no avail, apparently bbpress is a full year and day off)

the cookie properties look like this:

website			name			path		secure		expires			value

bbpress

.domain.com		wordpresspass		/		no		Mar 03, 2008		long_hash

.domain.com		wordpressuser		/		no		Mar 03, 2008		test



wpmu

.domain.com		wordpresspass		/		no		Mar 04, 2007		long_hash (same as the other)

.domain.com		wordpressuser		/		no		Mar 04, 2007		test

The only difference is the expiration date. As you can see bbpress has an issue with the date.

Perhaps I need sleep, or I don’t understand how the cookies are supposed to work. But I’m beat.. I can’t battle it anymore tonight.

I’m going to go get some sleep. Perhaps I’ll be able to figure it out from a fresh approach.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steven

So, does this eliminate the possibility of keeping your own code under version control? I keep all my stuff in my own svn repository I set up myself on one of my servers. Is anyone aware of a way to share a working copy across two repositories?

Or maybe a better question is this: Does anyone update their site through SVN AND use SVN to back up their own local code? How do you approach this problem?

[spencerp]

If the above stuff worked for you, then all you have to do to update your bbPress installation(s) is, follow same directions to get you to that specific directory, which contains your forums..

START>RUN>CMD>

Type In: plink mydomain.net (make sure there’s a space between the word “plink” and your “domain.net” then hit enter)

Type In: your passphrase (hit enter)

The: ls

The: cd whatever-directory-for-root (example: public_html)

The: ls

The: cd whatever-directory-for-forums

The: ls

Type: svn up (then hit enter)

That should update whatever files in your bbPress forums directory. I use same way for doing my WP blogs too..

What I did was, followed this guide here:

http://www.phileplanet.com/archives/2006/08/how-to-setup-ssh-on-windows-xp/

Reference links:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/xp-wont-run.html

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

I login to my domain with START > RUN > CMD >

plink mydomain.net

-will give your user and ask for passphrase.. enter passphrase.. hit enter

-it will give you server prompt thingy.. I type and hit enter: ls

-will show you what’s on your domain’s root, then type and hit enter: cd public_html (which changes you to the public_html directory)

-then I type and hit enter: ls

(will show me everything in the public_html directory..)

-then type and hit enter: cd forums (changes you to the forums directory folder)

-then I type and hit enter: ls (shows me everything in forums/ folder)

-then I run this line command:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ .

Only thing is though, if you already have folders/files in there, you’ll have to delete everything EXCEPT the my-templates/, my-plugins/ .htaccess, any special plugin files outside the my-plugins folder, and config.php files. Before running the SVN CO line command..

I also tried doing this:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ . –force

Which should FORCE file overwrites within that directory, however, it won’t work on a svn checkout… Not sure why though, but.. if you follow basically what I said above, you should be ok…

You should be good to go then… I hope this helps.. Good luck!

Oh ok, that makes sense. Just curious though, should the database query that we had to run, be reversed, or..anything in the database that needs changed?

I’m guessing that nothing major was really changed in the database, so no real worries of anything being screwed up, correct? Thanks for your reply Sam..

/So I guess this means I won’t have to worry about styling the “Gathering theme for bbPress” with Forum Categories in mind..

spencerp

[lonemadmax]

Yep, and with its same name. For example, put kakumei.zip in bb-templates/kakumei/ This was in the README , though maybe a bit hidden. Now it has its own section to be easier to spot, and there’s a one-liner to build all the zips in bash.

Also, a bug and a security issue (hopefully) corrected in the new version.

[Alex]

Very sexy theme! I love K2, I love bbPress, and now I love this theme!

For that added *thang* you could try and inject some FamFamFam, just as K2 has, and they would look like twins.

[Alex]

Nice clean theme

– Make “login” button same height as text-boxes

– Change link colours in footer, cannot read the “BBPRESS” link for example.

– I like the blue RSS logo on the right sidebar, but it seems cut off on top and bottom?

Overall, I like it!

Actually I’ve got a standalone javascript that does everything the WP plugin does … except load buttons to automate the code. And I’ve had it working in several BBPresses since mid last year. Add the js call in the header and it will load any simple href link to mp3, flv, mov etc. in a player.

I’ve been meaning to get around to modifying the WP plugin for BBPress since the official release, it’s on my todo list when I get to upgrading my BBPress installs for several WPMu’s. That’ll be a while yet though and I’ve yet to acquaint myself with BBPress plugins, is there a good quicktags plugin I can check out for starters?

[fel64]

Brilliant – works straight away again and has all the options I wanted. Thanks.

[chrishajer]

This is a problem with the path to the CSS, check the source:

http / vindicationdurotan.combbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

That backslash should not be there. There have been a couple threads about this lately:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/795

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/820

IE can deal with the backslash but FF cannot. Once you correct that slash problem, things will look fine in FF.

[spencerp]

Sam, just curious, is there going to be a new patch for this added soon? After last big SVN Commit, the patch719 didn’t work, it gave bad merge errors or whatever?

I’m going to have to delete all my current forum files and folders.. re-svn it all up. Then, wait until a new Forum Categories patch is made sigh. I just wish this Forum Cat was implemented into the trunk soon, and updated as need be… Wouldn’t have to worry about this all the time lol..

ok…i have kinda worked out my own fix that’s a lot messier than pravins…just printing from the send mail function.

The password works and yeah…

I have the password printed at the top of the page but that’s ok..

[Pravin Paratey]

They are line numbers.

Index: register.php

=============================================

tells you the filename.

ok…i upgraded the timezone thing and it’s fixed.

that’s everything in my my-plugins folder

[flatworm]

It works. Thank you very much.

I can’t belive it, so i will doublecheck.

It did look for some coolforumexample.

[lonemadmax]

New version, same link.

Changes:

• Box/reminder/no box option expires with the session.
• Micro comments in the plugin file, to make changes (esp. removing things) a bit easier.
• Download link for the themes with the zip, both in the box and in the screenshots page.

The zips have to be added manually. Hey, just like the themes themselves. It’s better that way, as an automatic creation would make them available and thus you’d be redistributing them, so you’d better check the license. OK, it’s just a cheap excuse to avoid the work I may add that functionality for the admin (create/rebuild/delete zip links in the screenshots page when the admin loads it), but it’s low in my general TODO list. So, until a new bug is found or another good idea pops up that is easy for me to implement, consider it a final version.

Also, keep in mind that the users can fake cookies and I don’t check their values. I don’t know how much of a risk it is for this case, nor how to solve it (yeah, I could check that only letters appear in the values).

[macwise]

Hello all,

I seem to have stumbled on another oddity I can’t solve…my user registration times are based on GMT, not on Pacific time as I have configured in the bbpress config.php file, as well as the wp Admin->Options page. I have added the following php script to a page to detect the server time.

<? print date("F d, Y H:i:s", time())?>

The time returned is the correct (Pacific) time, (-8 GMT). Any suggestions where else I can look, what else to try?
