Thanks for the feedback.

Good to hear they fixed it in 1.0 – it’s actually easy to fix by hacking the core, only two characters need to be changed that way!

( >0 instead of =1 )

I went the PHP route.

At the top of register.php I put this code:

<?php

header( ‘Location: http://www.arguemax.com/wordpress-2.9.2/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=register&#8217; ) ;

and it works.

While I try several combinations of this I thought I would throw this out for consideration.

PHP is not like HTML. PHP generates HTML or browser code on the server and spits it out onto the browser on the client side. I am just thinking now that maybe you cannot use this method of redirection because the functionality is overwritten. I am just asking. Has anyone tried this redirection method with PHP before?

As I type this, I am deleting the browser histrory/memory to see if that helps because so far this method does not redirect anything.

Welcome back _ck_!

You’ve truly been missed

[zaerl]

Try:

RewriteRule ^.*/bb-login.php$ http://www.arguemax.com/wordpress-2.9.2/wordpress/wp-login.php [R=301,L]

or:

Redirect 301 /bb-login.php http://www.arguemax.com/wordpress-2.9.2/wordpress/wp-login.php

Yes, I wrote the “Skip Akismet” plugin last year to do that.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/skip-akismet/

It’s cross compatible with bbPress and WordPress, however they refused to accept it into the WordPress plugin repository and told me to submit it to the core (which I didn’t bother if they are going to be like that).

Later I discovered the akismet plugin itself already has a “trusted user” filter via bb_is_trusted so my method is overly complicated, but my plugin could in theory be modified to trust users who have X number of posts or pass a certain minimum membership age.

This method however would be much cleaner:

add_filter( 'bb_is_trusted_user','more_trusted',10,2);

function more_trusted($trusted,$user_id) {

// bb_get_user here and determine if trusted, possibly cache result

return $trusted;  // boolean true/false

}

Feel free to develop that, let me know if you need help.

[xarzu]

oh.

That is pretty clever. I like that. I think I will use this technique. Now I just need to refresh my memory on how to code .htaccess

I have created the file, .htaccess and I included the lines

Code:

RewriteRule ^bb-login.php http://www.arguemax.com/wordpress-2.9.2/wordpress/wp-login.php [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^register.php http://www.arguemax.com/wordpress-2.9.2/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=register [L,R=301]

And I gave it a shot, but it did not work. Is there something I need to do such as make the file a certain type or read/write privledge?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

thanks

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

you asking for help or notifying that you have done it.

If the latter one, then I would like to know more on how you did it

Noel the fonts are small in Firefox but that may be because they don’t seem to scale for some reason when “large fonts” are enabled in Windows.

Like I pointed out, resetting the body to font-size:100%; seems to fix the whole problem for me.

The overly large gravatars still takes some getting used to however, I’ve never seen a forum system with avatars over 100×100

Here’s a mini-plugin I whipped up to fix the behavior of bbPress where a sticky that is made to “stick to front” (aka “super-stickies”) gets removed from its original forum.

Instead, now it will show as a regular sticky in its original forum but also as a super sticky on the front page.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Super Stickies Fix

.................................................................................................................

*/

function super_stickies_fix($where){return str_replace("topic_sticky = '1'","topic_sticky > 0",$where);}

add_filter('get_sticky_topics_where','super_stickies_fix');

?>

Tested in bbPress 0.9, in theory it should work fine also in bbPress 1.x

You can remove the line of all dots, it’s just there to fix the wrap problem for code on bbpress.org 2.0

[Discontinued Account]

If you want I’ll allow you to test it on my site

1. I can’t do it myself.

2. Its good for testing, correct?

[Sash-Kat]

All fixed It was incorrect permissions set up in the htaccess file that prevented hotlinking to images.

I’m trying to install bbpress on my site.

I have wordpress installed at the root, have uploaded the bbpress folder and started the config.

Once I’m at the last step I get a page of white text on a white background with the attached errors (Theres several pages of the fwrite() errors)

At the bottom of the page it states the installation completed and the log shows no errors.

This is a virtual host, IIS6

Warning: fopen(C:InetpubvhostsXXXXXhttpdocsbbpress/bb-config.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:InetpubvhostsXXXXXhttpdocsbbpressbb-adminincludesclass.bb-install.php on line 1044

[Gautam Gupta]

Here it is:

bb_new_topic_link( array( 'text' => 'YOUR TEXT HERE' ) );

[_ck_]

If the text is too small, just use the Stylish plugin for firefox and add this rule

body {font-size:100% !important;}

(or increase 100% as desired)

[gerikg]

How do you change the name in bb_new_topic_link()

or it’s okay to just do

<a href="?new=1">New Topic</a>

[wizardregis]

I tried downloaded and installing everything from the beginning. Untouched new WordPress 2.9.2 and bbPress 1.0.2.

1. Install WP.

2. Paste secret keys in wp-config.

3. Install bbPress in another database with keys from wp-config. Set up seperate user database settings.

4. Enable bbPress integration plugin in WP and paste code into wp-config.

5. Set up role map in bbPress.

Registered users in WP show up in bbPress, and registered users in bbPress how up in WP. Logins also work on both. But any changes to user roles does not transfer over to the other platform.

So what am I doing wrong?

[Ryan Hellyer]

Welcome back

It felt wrong not having yourself and Sam around anymore. Great to see your site is back up and running again too.

[Ryan Hellyer]

Sorry, haven’t checked back here until now.

All it does is buffer the HTML output of sections of the WordPress theme and then create static files from it.

That way you can grab the head section of your WordPress site (scripts and all) and dump it into another piece of software. This allows things like widget areas, plugin functionality etc. to be transferred across to the other software dynamically. If you alter a widget area on your WordPress powered site, that will be displayed automagically in the other software. The advantage of doing it this way is that you don’t have the negative impacts of bogging the server down as if you did it with deep integration with bbPress, plus it works with other software as well, not just bbPress/WordPress.

This is the second complaint I’ve received about the instructions so I’ll try to improve them. I thought it was fairly straightforward though. I can’t think of an easier way to explain than how I did on the page, but I’ll do my best I’m quite busy right now so it may not be for a few weeks at least.

From what I’ve heard, there may be an error in the instructions too so I’ll need to sort that out when I rewrite them (I think one of my function names my be incorrect in the instructions but don’t have time to deal with that right now).

[gerikg]

I think we had some successful people using it with WP 3.0. I personally don’t recommend automatic upgrade. Sometimes it might be a drastic code change that will mess your integrated bbpress theme.

[chrishajer]

so there is no way to reply to a comment, only to the entire post thread? how does somebody quote another person to reply to them within the post?

You copy and paste into your reply and just wrap it in html <blockquote>

Replies are not threaded in bbPress. Comments *are* threaded in WordPress, if you want them.

We have our bbPress forum hosted at Network Solutions [unfortunately]. When we activated SSL in bbPress, any SSL-secured page would immediately go into an infinite redirect loop to itself. After a little PHP debugging, I determined that the cause was two-fold:

1. $_SERVER does not exist, for some reason, at NetSol.

2. $_SERVER always returns 80 at NetSol, even when accessing the site via https. It should return 443.

This causes the two conditions in the is_ssl() function to fail, so the function incorrectly returns false. When the secured page redirects itself from http to https, bbPress still thinks it’s an unsecured page and redirect back to itself again… and again… and again.

We had no choice but to hack the core, which is bad because it will get overwritten when we upgrade bbPress. is_ssl() resides in /bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php. I added a condition to simply look at the scheme of the URI and return ‘true’ if it is ‘https’.

I added this line to the first line of the function:

$uri_ssl = parse_url(bb_get_option('uri_ssl'));

Then this add’l elseif condition:

} elseif ($uri_ssl == 'https') {

// Hack to support NetSol's questionable setup.

return true;

}

Has anyone else ever experienced this at NetSol?

then, now with your path is ok!i make a mistake, the file was find but, i get this error:

[06-May-2010 19:02:23] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_clone() (previously declared in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp2.9/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php:1043) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp2.9/wp-settings.php on line 308

some ideas?

tank you very much for your help

kikko088

[kikko088]

I try your path but nothing… I also try to put the code on wp-config of my site online, where the path is http://www.endurodoc.net/forum/bb-load.php but nothing… blank page!
