Concerning to my issue – I am using php 5.2.13 (I know this exactly, because I’m self hosting my blog on worpdress )

I’ll try to remove ?> in the end of the wp-config.php.

May be it’s significant for cookie inegration.

[zaerl]

on bb-config.php type:

$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] = "Apache/2.2";

BUT keep in mind that this is a ugly hack.

P.S. change host

[zaerl]

That’s strange.

$is_apache = ( strpos( $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Apache' ) !== false || strpos( $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'LiteSpeed' ) !== false);

this is the line that check the server software. Check phpinfo() and see what you get.

@ zaerl, @ mr_pelle .. thanks

its now working fine

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Anyone who can help get me a copy of the following themes :

• Blackletterhead
• Bloody Gray
• Spartan
• Options by Justintadlock – Yeah I can’t find this one too
• Marked_bb
• Futurekind
• WPMimic

Thanks in advance

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@gerikg

having ?> at the end is not specific to wp-config.php

It can be removed from any php file and its something debatable

I am still unsure about the PHP5 thing you mentioned. I would need an explanation to believe in it.

And I shoot you an email using your contact form. Did you get that?

[kieranyo]

What he said ^

if you want to know exactly I can point you to the line of code.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hey Josh,

We’re not passing the buck here mate, but really, unless it’s a front end bbPress issue, you’re going to have to go the the BuddyPress people.

the version of bbPress that is included in BuddyPress is insanely heavily hacked/edited; with the entire backPress from bbPress removed and replaced. Other than the displaying of the forum (and i mean the physical HTML routines in teh templates), everything else is different.

We can help you guess, but really, you’ll get the answers quicker from the great people over at BuddyPress who wrote the code you’re having an issue with.

[cnc]

Thanks, zaerl

It works……

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Add the code just after this :

<?php

/**

* The base configurations of bbPress.

*

* This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix,

* Secret Keys and bbPress Language. You can get the MySQL settings from your

* web host.

*

* This file is used by the installer during installation.

*

* @package bbPress

*/

[zaerl]

On front-page.php, forum.php, tag-single.php substitute bb_new_topic_link(); with bb_new_topic_link(array('text' => '<img src="the url of your image" alt="the alt title" />'));

[Josh]

Well, i installed it from buddypress, i know it’s a standalone website app, it’s just it’s giving errors when i go to manage it’s settings from the dashboard.

Theme errors:

Then in bbpress settings:

nothing, I try to add also this line but nothing… clean install of bbpress and 0 plugin wp.

?>

I I’m not expert on php, I add correctly the line?

[jakshi]

@huafeihua116

Not at all.

@ashfame

I agree with “salts were never included in sample config file”, When I do integrations – I get salts values from options.

I and many other people will very happy if developers of bbpress says us what difference between your good working wordpress and bbpress cookie integration, and their wordpress and bbpress cookie integration that don’t work.

But for now – it’s still unresolved issue

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Plugins can cause that, timeout issue, memory limit but I would suggest that try this code for deep integration

/* Deep integration */

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);

include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-blog-header.php' );

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

header("Status: 200 All rosy");

}

and remove your line of code which includes wp-load.php

[kieranyo]

Thanks everyone!

bforeste: it was very easy to do. Without sounding too technical, by default the forum includes an alternating “class” for each reply, all I did was use CSS to “float:right” instead of using the default “float:left” on each one. The existing html and css caters for this very well.

[bforeste]

Big fan of the alternating avatar ‘conversation’…great idea. Should be default format for any board IMO.

Is this mod easily done for a non-coder?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@kevin

yeah buddy! was off track now back to the game

I will investigate by hard-coding cookiepath, cookiedomain and like stuff in bbPress too.

I understand your point completely, I would have done the same for production sites and kept the testing going on test site.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Yo dudes,

@Zaerl

I know matey, wasn’t meant in a bad way at all

In terms of backward compatability, there’s quite a bit of change to how constructs and classes are handled, and depending on when the code was written, could cause some hidden issues.

bbPress 0.7,0.8 & 0.9 weren’t major rewrites of any of the basic backend code. A huge chunk of them were written by Matt over a weekend some 7 years ago and the move to backPress was a definative leap (fully awesome OOPness – as much as its kinda useless ).

So what i meant wasn’t just the leap from PHP4final to PHP5; but also things that were not aimed for PHP4 but that PHP4 supported. i.e. The code that was still in bbPress0.9 that was written when PHP3 was still around.

@Ashfame

Long time bro.

I know the problem of which you speak mate, and while not knowing exactly which bit of code makes it go away, I’ve not had it in ages.

Login in wordpress >>> check that i’m “logged in” on bbPress >>> access admin.

Yeah it all works. I’ll have to delve into the code when home, but I think the sites I’m testing on are using “super anne” code/plugin. I also doubt these are on the latest versions of bbpress/wordpress. Frankly I’ve accepted that installing bbpress means not upgrading wordpress.

As i recall from the long long long thread in 2008, the key thing was having:

in wordpress config:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

in bbPress config:

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ”;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->sitecookiepath = ”;

The basic theory was that the bbPress admin, wasn’t reading the wordpress cooking properly or at all, something to do with when it was assigning/pulling data from the “$bb” global variable; so it wouldn’t let you access the admin panel of bbPress. But by setting this info in the config (loaded first) it solved it.

That may be pie in the sky my friend, but thats what my brain is telling me.

[kieranyo]

Thanks!

Yeah I’m quite happy with how it turned out. It gives it more of a feeling that it’s a conversation

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Nice design! I like the way you show alternate avatar positions on topic page

[kieranyo]

After the success with the Nissan Cube Owners Club forum (http://forum.cubeownersclub.co.uk/), when one of my clients asked about a forum I decided again to use BBPress.

I run the website for a UK TV Nature Presenter called Kate Humble and wanted to use a forum that could be integrated with the rest of the site (which is in WordPress) and have the same look and feel. I think it’s turned out pretty nicely and the new users are enjoying and participating.

The URL is http://katehumble.com/forum

It’s running a very customised theme obviously, a new homepage and I’ve also removed the tags feature.

I’ve installed a few plugins, modified a few too and I’ve also implemented the new Facebook “like” feature on the top of every topic. If I get time (and enough interest) maybe I’ll try and implement this as a BBPress plugin.

Because this time it lives in a sub folder instead of a sub domain, one of the technical hurdles I had to get round was the WordPress .htaccess file conflicting with it so all I had to do was put 1 line of code in the root .htaccess file telling it to ignore (and stop processing) everything in /forum.

Let me know what you think

[kevinjohngallagher]

I absolutely agree that this is far from a “guarenteed” fix, but I’ve long found that the more things we can rule out when going through a bbPress to WordPress integration the easier life becomes.

For example, I still define the following in my WordPress config file:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘authkey’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘secureauthkey’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘secureauthsalt’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘loggedinkey’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘loggedinsalt’);

define(‘SECRET_KEY’, ‘secretkey’);

define(‘SECRET_SALT’, ‘secretsalt’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’,’nonce_key’);

define(‘NONCE_SALT’, ‘nonce_salte’);

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

And the following in my bbPress config file:

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘authkey’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘secureauthkey’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘secureauthsalt’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘loggedinkey’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘loggedinsalt’);

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘secretkey’);

define(‘BB_SECRET_SALT’, ‘secretsalt’);

define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’,’nonce_key’);

define(‘BB_NONCE_SALT’, ‘nonce_salte’);

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

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

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->user_bbdb_name = ‘XXXXX’;

$bb->user_bbdb_user = ‘XXXXX’;

$bb->user_bbdb_password = ‘XXXXX’;

$bb->user_bbdb_host = ‘localhost’;

$bb->custom_user_table = ”;

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ”;

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ”;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->sitecookiepath = ”;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

Now I know that most of that code is redundant, and left over from older integration methods; but by using this as a base that I know works for bbPress0.9/1.0.2 to WP2.5->2.9 I’ve found that I’ve not hit any real integration issues that weren’t procedural or human error in over a year.

Adding “AddHandler php5-script .php” to my .htaccess file wont cause any overhead (as i should be using PHP5 anyway), and will also help rule out that 1 out of 100 times that installation/integration hits an issue.

@Zaerl and Chris

PHP4 to 5 was a huge change, a leap into correctly written OOP.

bbPress1.0.2 (for all its faults) and specifically backPress are really brilliantly written OOP code; and while not 100% sure, i’m quietly confident that using backPress/bbPress1.0.2 on PHP4 would throw some inconsistances.

I doubt this fix is anywhere near “guarenteed” to solve anything, but if it works for 1 out of 100 people, it should go in the “win” column

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Transmutator,

Question – Why not simply make bbPress themes/templates function like WordPress themes?

They do.

The ease of theming bbPress is one of it’s real strong points.

The problem is that you’re confusing some of the phrases (its not your fault, its not brilliantly clear unless you’ve been here a while).

Integration = bbPress + WordPress using same cookies for log on.

Deep Integration = bbPress loading WordPress every time, allowing access to WordPress code.

So when you say “fully integrate” i’m guessing you mean “deep integration” which isn’t supported or intended. We can offer some advice on it, but its a by product, not a feature.

The realism is that copying large sections of your theme (mostly the ‘outer’ sections such as header and footer) and your current WP stylesheet will start to make a huge difference to how your bbPress theme looks. Just make sure to remove any “wordpress” specific code or plugin calls; they’re really superfluous to 99% of forums.

[ioloman]

when i change the permalinks structure to name based, i get this message :

“Rewriting on webservers other than Apache using mod_rewrite is currently unsupported, but we won’t stop you from trying”

what does this mean ?!
