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

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>

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!

kikko088

[Gautam Gupta]

Oh, so I would have to stop making it..

[pagal]

you found that one darn fast!

Thanks for your smile and compliment…

when you will talk to them…? Or can you make same like that plugin for us?

I need more plugins.. they are in my mind.. I hope you can make them.. if you are interested then I can describe them here..

[porcelainduck]

Ok, seem like i may have pushed it too far staying up to work on this, i overwrote home.php in my template dir. Thanks for your response, prompted me to go check that out

[zaerl]

The version is shown also in the main admin page (the dashboard) bb-admin/ just below the statistics list.

[_ck_]

Ah, I forgot that one was still activated.

I’ve have several new plugins but they were made for a client that paid for them – I’d have to get permission to release them as GPL, it’s up to them.

ps. you found that one darn fast!

[noel]

We’ll definitely be tweaking things out a lot over the next few days. This theme was definitely a huge group collaboration

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Thanks a bunch! Glad to see that bbShowcase is back

[zaerl]

I have used bbPM for a lot of time and also I have checked the code. I think that it’s a very good plugin.

[chrishajer]

The leading slash should not be there I don’t think

Should look like this:

require_once( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . 'bbpress/bb-load.php' );

Or maybe the full path:

require_once( '/application/MAMP/htdocs/wp2.9/bbpress/bb-load.php' );

But the leading slash means from the root, and you don’t really mean that. /application is the root, not /bbpress.

[chrishajer]

There is this content filter plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/webpurify/

I believe it’s a paid plugin.

There is no built in way to block by IP in bbPress. If you have access to .htaccess on your host, you can deny by IP there, but that’s a manual solution.

order allow,deny

deny from 123.45.67.89 (one IP)

deny from 012.34.5. (IP block)

allow from all

You would put that in your forum’s .htacccess file.

You could also moderate all posts:

ok thanks
