The bbPress Live plugin by Sam, was released and last updated around bbPress1.0alpha3.

It appears to me that the plugin makes a wrong call (possibly a bbPress to BackPress issue – as there were major changes for bbpress1.0alpha6) because it returns an empty set. On top of that, it’s aimed for WordPress before WP2.7, which itself had a large number of under the hood changes.

I’d be surprised if this plugin was even close to being fit for purpose these days; and without a doubt the solution is to pull the information from the Database directly.

bbPress and WordPress are 2 stand-alone software solutions that can share the same database/logins. Leveraging this data without adding the overhead (and potential issues) of the other will make life easier in the long run

(not to mention save 50+ SQL calls every time you load a bbpress page)

Good catch Chris,

Yahoo Traffic Server doesn’t use .htaccess files.

Though that might change in the future after Yahoo donated TS to the Apache Foundation, though they still have the source code in-house.

As I recall though, YTS has quite an extensive plugin library, and so there might (probably?) be an alternative method out there. It’s beyond me though.

Hi Adam,

Make sure you take a backup of your MySQL data at every oppertunity when talking to your host.

If you can get one from PHPmyAdmin great, if not ask your host for backups.

Don’t overwrite them, and rename them with the day/time and after which correspondance you got the backup.

When this is all sorted, load the .sql backup into a text editor (and you can sift through the code). Might not be pretty but you’ll at least see the extent of the issue.

If it’s gone south, and the host can’t help, you’re in for a long slog. That said, one of the positives here is that the bbPress table structure (while a bit… not optomized – bad english for bad table design) is easy to read and replace/backup. I’ve had to do it myself, and we can offer tips if it comes to it, but it’s not as bad as it sounds if you get some forum of backup/old DB.

Hi Chris,

It appears to be working.

Has it been fixed in the last few hours, or do you have a new link you could provide us with. Fingers crossed it’s been fixed

[chrishajer]

Can’t create/write to file ‘/tmp/#sql_e93_0.MYI’ (Errcode: 22)

That is a problem with MySQL. That is something your host needs to address. MySQL cannot write to that MYI file on the /tmp partition for some reason. This is something they need to resolve.

I’m afraid your problems are larger than bbPress. The trouble with bbPress and your earlier loss of categories and the plugin problem in WordPress are all symptoms of a larger problem and something your host needs to resolve.

Are you on a Windows host? I can’t find reference to it on Linux at all. It could be something as simple as out of space on the device, but it’s something for the host to resolve.

Friday 9th July:

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

matt states that bbPress has been upgraded to latest trunk version

Where did that come from? I didn’t see that posted online.

The code running here is certainly not updated to the latest trunk. From the source of the page:

[meta name="generator" content="bbPress 1.1-alpha-2453" /]

When it’s updated, the BackPress fix will be in.

[adammurphy]

Yes that’s a good point – didn’t think of the FTP.

Plugins:

admin add user

allow images

bb-wysisyg editor

force login

hidden forums

wordpress integration

The problems I had on the main site:

My host are insisting that they didn’t touch it, and I certainly didn’t, so I’m not sure if it’s been hacked, or it’s some sort of database glitch or what. On the WP site, all of the categories were reset to “uncategorized” which, for a site running comicpress, which is category-based, was a bit of a disaster. Just as I was panicking, it seemed to find the categories again, and reset the site to 6th July (which I assumed was them rolling back altough they insist they haven’t). I also noticed the category order plugin giving the following error:

WordPress database error: [Can’t create/write to file

‘/tmp/#sql_e93_0.MYI’ (Errcode: 22)]

SHOW COLUMNS FROM wp_terms LIKE ‘term_order’

WordPress database error: [Duplicate column name ‘term_order’]

ALTER TABLE wp_terms ADD term_order INT( 4 ) NULL DEFAULT ‘0’

Again, if this suggests anything to you, or I can provide any more info, I’d be most grateful,

Adam.

Where did Matt say he fixed the code/encoding issue?

We are still running r2453 here, not the latest version r2458. The BackPress fix didn’t happen until BackPress r312 on Jul 1 2010 by Westi. When the code is updated here the problem will be fixed. If you check out a new revision, the problem will be fixed in your installation.

Here is an example forum using r2458 with the BackPress fix and you can see that the code is formatted properly.

$this->is_code();

[chrishajer]

To check out via subversion:

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

[chrishajer]

I think the best thing to do in your case would be a test installation of the latest trunk release of bbPress (not the packaged 1.0.2 release.) There’s no way to know if all that is going to work on the latest version of bbPress, but I suspect most of it will.

I would copy over your database, then install bbPress with subversion. Then copy over your template and plugins. Then test. If it all works, then go ahead and upgrade your 1.0.1 installation.

Regarding when bbPress becomes a WordPress plugin, it doesn’t really matter. Use what works for you (right now, that’s a standalone installation, as you have here.) That code you have installed is never going away. If a time comes in the future where you can move to bbPress as a WordPress plugin, then go ahead and do it. But use what works for now and don’t wait for any version coming in the future.

Worked perfectly!

Thanks _ck_

[mr_pelle]

I had no answer from mdawaffe, so I began working on the plugin: are there any features you’d like to be included, besides the ones from the original plugin?

[_ck_]

Must be an old version I have on the SVN

Edit the view.php template for the plugin and add this before the

</form>

<input type="hidden" name="view" value="leaderboard">

ugh, bbpress.org is messing up the code, make the view template look like this, the one added line in the middle:

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XbSxR6VQ

[Oxhorn]

The Leaderboard plugin is fantastic, but it is broken. I can get it to show a Leaderboard, but whenever a user clicks on any of the other display options aside from “of all time” they get redirected to the forum homepage, as you can see here:

http://oxhorn.com/forum/view.php?view=leaderboard

I’m not the only one with this problem, others on the plugin’s discussion have had it too. how can this be fixed?

Thanks

[Oxhorn]

I’m running bbpress 1.0.1 and I am hesitant to upgrade because I don’t know what it will do to my plugins (most of which have been abandoned by their authors) and I’m not sure why I should upgrade. Plus, with the rumor of a bbpress plugin for wordpress coming out, I’m concerned about the future of this version of bbpress. Maybe you guys can answer some questions for me.

Here is my bbpress so you can see where I’m at:

1) Will my users, plugins, databases and themes all still work find and dandy if I upgrade? Is there an easier way to upgrade aside, like there is with wordpress?

2) These are my current plugins. Does anyone know any incompatability with them and the current version of bbpress?:

adsense for bbpress

after the deadline

ajaxed quote

akimset

allow images

bb-lightbox2

bb-no spam user

bb-scripture links

bbcode buttons toolbar

bbcode light

bb cumulus

bb pm

bbpress signatures

bb topic views

bb video

bozo users

facebook like

leaderboard

members online

mini stats

post count plus

post count pluss for wordpress

project honey pot for bbpress

reputation (karma) for bbpress

social it

subscribe to topic

unread posts

3) When/if this new bbpress plugin comes out, will there be a way to convert my bbpress installation into teh plugin or otherwise make it compatable?

Thanks bunches all!

[mr_pelle]

May I suggest another solution? bb_enqueue_script() is deprecated, you should first check if script is already included using wp_script_is() and then call wp_enqueue_script().

add_action( 'bb_init', 'enqueueJQuery' );



function enqueueJQuery() {

if ( !wp_script_is( 'jquery' ) )

wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );

}

I was not checking into the forums for few months and I am SO glad to see you back, _ck_.

1. Is it possible to send an administrative PM to all members? ( Admin’s One PM to all registered members at once)

2. How can restrict the participation more then two members?

I mean I don’t want to provide users to add others users to participate in their private discussion.

I just need two members participation in one private discussion..

3.When a PM is sent by a User it generates an email to the User’s email address notifying them that they have sent an email. The User knows they sent a PM because they just sent it Can this be turned off? Of course, need to keep having an email sent to the recipient of the PM telling them that they have a PM to go and look at.

4. is it possible to add captcha in bbpm?

any help appreciated

cheers

Hi folks!

I’v just installed bbpress for the first time. No problem with installation or tweaks, but i can’t figure out how to correct the time when posts where written.

I have translated the .po file to Norwegian, and it looks like everything is OK in there when generating the .mo file and upload it to my server..

Take a look at this picture where i show you my “problem”: http://country4you.com/temp/Forum.gif

You see the arrows How do i change “Hours” to Norwegian?

This is what “Started: %s ago” is translated to in the .po file: “Skrevet: for %s siden”

Thanks for a great forum!

Anyone downloaded bbPress 1.0.2 from http://bbpress.org/download/ lately? I just did and when I started installation I got warnings but succeed in installing. But when I installed I couldn’t login.

I belive this problems are related to update to BackPress/pomo library and that new versions of it are not compatible with bbPress 1.0.2 code. Anyone can reproduce this?

[Dr4ke]

Hey

When I was writing plugin last time they dont want run install function after activation. Trouble was in position of plugin file in subfolder in ‘my-plugins’.

When I looked in plugins.php I saw the problem. Script make ‘do_action()’ on overall path to plugin from my-plugins. For example: ‘plugin/plugin.php’. So orginal function have to be ‘bb_activate_plugin_plugin/plugin’ what in incorrect. I wrote few lines and all works fine.

After line 66 in bbpress/bb-admin/plugins.php:

$posSlash = strpos($plugin,'/');

if(intval($posSlash) != 0){

$plugin = substr($plugin,$posSlash+1);

}

After that all works fine May be included in next bbPress version.

Regards

D.

Hello Zaerl..

I think there’s still something missing in ur code.I came out with more simple code which is tested and working good. (not sure if its 100 % reliable)

function reply_link() {

global $topic;

$add = topic_pages_add();

$last_page = bb_get_page_number( ( isset( $topic->topic_posts ) ? $topic->topic_posts : 0 ) + $add );

$h2 = esc_attr( get_topic_link( 0, $last_page ) . ‘#postform’ );

echo $h2;

}

Hello kevinjohngallagher..

Actually I was looking for href value of an anchor tag which I want to add below each post.
