Yes, I’m integrated.

Not sure why, but I had to make these changes to get the PM links to work for me:

if ( $bb->mod_rewrite )

$r = bb_get_option('uri') . "message" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );

to

if ( $bb->mod_rewrite )

$r = bb_get_option('uri') . "message.php" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );

and

if ( $bb->mod_rewrite )

$r = bb_get_option('uri') . "pm" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );

to

if ( $bb->mod_rewrite )

$r = bb_get_option('uri') . "pm.php" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );

Works great though!

EDIT: I get this error when I add the pm_user_link bit to my post.php

“bbPress database error: [Table ‘CENSORED_DB_NAME’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 1″

I never could figure out why I was getting that, so I just deleted that bit, but otherwise seems to be working fine.

[skrimpy]

figured it out I have it working now. I needed to mod post.php

I also had this issue noticed by a user of my forum running IE6. I changed the code as said above and he reported the pink gone. The screenshot he sent doesn’t show alternating grey and white topics/forums as my screen shows (I’m running firefox). It’s all solid white.

Has anyone been able to further address this issue with IE6?

GREAT FAQ!

The Permalinks solution fixed my problems in a jiffy!

(Silly me, I re-installed 3 times before *finally* finding the FAQ … no more turkey for me! )

I guess the change password bug (and general user-account editing bug) in the translated versions are triggered by the translation of this line in the bbpress/bb-includes/functions.php file:

$profile_menu[0] = array(__('Edit'), 'edit_profile', 'edit_users', 'profile-edit.php', 'edit');

If you translate 'Edit' by 'Editer' or 'Modifier', for example, users won’t be able to save their password change, and administrators won’t be able to save a role change for an user; the last part of the edit link — …/edit— will be changed to either …/editer or …/modifier. The page will display, but when you click on the save button, changes to the user’s profile won’t be saved.

Ok if my PHP/MySQL knowledge is still good , the plugin must , on the first use , add a new collumn to bb_topics table ( named for example cat_id ) , and a new table titled bb_cats .

On each use of the plugin , it must check if everything is good ( the collumn cat_id , the table bb_cats ) before continuing , and if not , it must display the default structure of the forum .

To perform this last , there must be new template tags which can be ignored if the plugin installation is wrong , so the plugin needs its proper template file …

We know that the goal of BBPress is to be light and fast , so if you code all the things above and use them on a plugin , BBPress will be slower , i think like PunBB …

So my tip is ; don’t use categories , try to remove no useful forums , merge some forums if they are similar , and you’ill have a good order without categories .

[lordcoder]

Ok , i see that my messages are incomprehensible ( normal , i am not a native english speaker ) , i ill try again ( my english will suck a little ) .

I have this on my my-templates/footer.php :

<?php if ( $bb_current_user->ID ) : ?>

<li><h2 class="vcard">Profile</h2></li>

<li>

<?php profile_menu(); ?>

</li>

<?php endif; ?>

My goal is to display the avaible profil options for the connected user if no other user’s profil is viewed .

But it doesnt work until i dont go to another user’s profil and displays this error :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/httpd/bouazza/bouazza.franceserv.com/sbouazza/forums/bb-includes/template-functions.php on line 59

And only one item is viewed , Profile , and it contains a bad link ( http://bouazza.franceserv.com/sbouazza/forums/profile/, without an user ID ) .

But if i am viewing an user’s profil , the menu is correctly displayed , and allthing is fine .

I Hope I can get more replys now .

Thanks !

PS : It will be great if we can speak here on this board in another language like French , German … espiecially for guys like me who ar’nt familiar with English .

The site issue and the database issues do seem like separate things. That was the first thing that caught my eye though (the URLs.)

my database has bbpress_ tables (like bbpress_forums, bbpress_posts, etc) and wp_ tables (like wp_links, wp_users, wp_usermeta etc)

My config.php (bbpress) has this for the DB stuff:

$bb_table_prefix = 'bbpress_';

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

And mine just works with user integration like that. Is is possible that including the ‘http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/wp-config.php&#8217; is overwriting something? I didn’t have to include that, and just have the one other require there. Why is that included for yours (did you read something I didn’t maybe?)

Looking at your original error:

'dearauth_bbdb.wp_users' doesn't exist

the table prefix there is set to dearauth_bbdb somehow. Maybe you forgot to close a quote or something? Or did you edit your config before posting it (i.e. it’s not the actual, but it’s edited without the same error maybe?) You didn’t post the MySQL and bbpress config stuff from the top of the config.php.

Just guessing, but maybe we’ll get it.

[JaneLitte]

I have tried that. It seems to me that it is not looking at either the right database (ie., the wordpress database is different than the bbpress database) or it needs to have the “bb_” prefix instead of the “wp_” prefix.

i.e., when I change $bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; to $bb->wp_table_prefix = 'bb_';, I no longer get the error, but then I am also not getting the wordpress users either.

Hi Trent, Merry Christmas. I did install it and it apparently was working since someone got blocked :yikes: I could not find any logging anywhere, and to fix it yourself with the code provided

> Your technical support key is: 0000-zzzz-yyyy-xxxx

>

> You can use this key to fix this problem yourself.

you need to log in to the ioerror/homelandstupidity site here:

http://www.ioerror.us/ip/

But with the IP that was blocked. So, with no logging and no way to know why this legitimate user was blocked, I disabled it. I was looking at the logging a bit (using bad-behavior-wordpress.php as an example as suggested) but I haven’t figured it out yet. I was hoping there was a config section with four lines like WP or BB, where I could enter the DB details, but it’s not there

So, turned off for now. It was doing something though, I just don’t know what or why.

[chrishajer]

I think if your blog is at dearauthor.com/wordpress, then

$bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl are both wrong – they don’t point to the blog but just the domain name. I think they should be:

$bb->wp_home = 'http://dearauthor.com/wordpress'; //

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://dearauthor.com/wordpress'; //

Also, your require once is different than mine, but that might be unrelated. This is the only one I have in my config.php:

require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );

I think the wp_home and wp_siteurl might be wrong. Did you go to WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) and WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) and verify that the settings are the same there?

[sewar]

Go to your database in phpMyAdmin, in table wp_usermeta you will see this row:

user_id meta_key meta_value

1 bb_capabilities a:1:{s:6:"member";b:1;}

Change “meta_value” to: a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}, So it will look like:

user_id meta_key meta_value

1 bb_capabilities a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}

[JaneLitte]

I am having problems with the integration. I installed the bbpress_integration on my wordpress blog which is installed at dearauthor.com/wordpress.

I have a redirect that makes the blog address dearauthor.com

I then installed the bb forum at dearauthor.com/forum.

I set the bbPress Integration as bb_

I have this in the config.php file for bbPress

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; //

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://dearauthor.com&#8217;; //

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://dearauthor.com&#8217;; //

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘dearauthor.com’;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

require_once(‘http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/wp-config.php&#8217;);

I am getting this error.

bbPress database error: [Table ‘dearauth_bbdb.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE ID = 1 AND user_status % 2 = 0

Anonymous`

Thanks.

I would suggest using the following to stop the avatar plugin from working in the mobile version until I can figure out a way to make all images smaller or non-existant with this plugin.

Put this over the code for the avatar plugin in post.php in /my-templates/

<!-- Diable Avatar for BB-Mobile -->

<?php if ( mobile_check() ) : ?>

<!-- <?php post_avatar(); ?> -->

<?php else : ?>

<small><?php post_avatar(); ?></small>

<?php endif; ?>

<!-- Diable Avatar for BB-Mobile -->

I have now tested this out and know that it works on my site.

In fact, any code that you do not want shown or changed in the mobile version of your site can be elminated or changed with the following structure!

<!-- Code for BB-Mobile -->

<?php if ( mobile_check() ) : ?>

CODE YOU WANT SHOWN ON MOBILE

<?php else : ?>

CODE YOU WANT SHOWN ON MAIN SITE

<?php endif; ?>

<!-- Code for BB-Mobile -->

[lordcoder]

I edited correctly the message , sorry if it was incomprehensible .

I use that code on footer.php without modifying de template-functions.php file .

Normally , it shows only the profil menu if a user’s profil is viewed , but i wanted that the profil menu will be displayed using the current user’s settings if no profil is viewed .

[ardentfrost]

Where are you changing that? I assume you’re using my Private Messages plugin (hope you like it), and if you’re changing something in functions.php or template-functions.php you could have an adverse effect on plugins.

I also don’t exactly understand why you would test if the current user has an ID. You might want to, instead, test if the current user can do something instead of having an ID.

Plus, I don’t think you want to use || in that setup. You probably want to use && so that if the profile exists AND something else, then it’ll display it.

Possibly all or none of the above

[lordcoder]

Hi all ,

i do experience a problem with my forum if i use :

<?php if ( $bb_current_user->ID ) : ?>

<li><h2 class="vcard">Profile</h2></li>

<li>

<?php profile_menu(); ?>

</li>

<?php endif; ?>

instead of :

<?php if ( is_bb_profile() ) : ?>

<li><h2 class="vcard">Profile</h2></li>

<li>

<?php profile_menu(); ?>

</li>

<?php endif; ?>

I wanted only that it displays the avaible profile menu for the connected user if no other profile is viewed , but it doesnt work and returns this error message :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/httpd/bouazza/bouazza.franceserv.com/sbouazza/forums/bb-includes/template-functions.php on line 59

Can someone help me ?

Thanks and merry christmas !

Bouazza .

This has been covered in the forum before: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/439?replies=2

Seems like the problem is with the CSS:

#profile-menu {

list-style: none;

position: absolute;

right: 0;

}

The position:absolute and the right:0 cause it to be anchored all the way over on the right side of the screen. Not much that can be done with it on bbpress.org, but if you are using the same template, you can fix your own CSS.

[chrishajer]

Yes, remove the directory from $bb->domain.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.kensavage.com/forums&#8217;;

[thomasklaiber]

I’d say change to

$bb->domain = 'http://www.kensavage.com';

Then it should work!

[chrishajer]

Works for me too. Now to do something like “WP Since Last Visit” from Alex King.

Also, I made the same change in forum.php on lines 16 and 25 for consistency.

edit: Oops, just looked through the files and that need to be changed in lots of places. I lost track already…

[Trent Adams]

I have another post in the forum, but if you are interested in using a great software package that limits spam and server attacks before they access the site, then you might be interested in Bad Behavior. I really like it because it really decreases the load on the server as well.

While they do not have a plugin for bbPress and creating one isn’t in the cards right now, you can do it by downloading the newest Bad Behavior release and placing it as a folder in the root of your bbPress installation.

After that, you just need to call it. I did this by adding the following to config.php after the /* Stop editing */ part.

require_once( BBPATH . '/Bad-Behavior/bad-behavior-generic.php');

That is the easy way without a plugin. Just thought I would share it for those that are interested.
