Hi Tom, thank for your answer. Unfortunately I cannot took out the display name feature because my mother language isn’t english and in my idiom it’s impossible to write significant portion of text without using characters outside the ASCII base and as far as I know unicode characters can’t be used in login names.

Anyway I think that I will hack the core even if I know that this isn’t a good thing. I think that I will add an extra check in $wp_users_object->update_user() which in turn call _put_user.

[deadlyhifi]

I was having this problem on my forum so I took out the display name feature.

See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-with-basic-command-to-add-new-profile-fields#post-65468

And delete 'display_name' => array(1, __('Display name as')),

[absolutex]

ok i get it to work

find in meta database and change this table

meta key

user_bbdb_name

and

user_bbdb_user

[Dailytalker]

I solved the problem by adding the following additional code to the plugin:

add_filter( 'get_user_display_name', 'rk_display_name' );

function rk_display_name($name, $ID = 0) {

if ( !seems_utf8( $name ) )

return utf8_encode( $name );

return $name;

}

0.9 yes i use template where i can put le code for this ? thanks

Hi,

since i have the forum in a different frame of my page, i’d have to add the attribute “target_top” to every link.

The code below is only for target_blank, or would it be possible to replace every “blank” with “top” and have it working?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-nofollow-to-links#post-17523″

---

And how do you make the code into a plugin? you copy and paste into a text file, save it as *.php and upload the file in the bbpress plugins folder?

Thank you very much, every help is very appreciated!

The Process

[gerikg]

“manage the bbpress forum via the same admin login as the primary WP install.”

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-admin/

“…main wp widgetized sidebar”

If you did the deep integration you just have to stick <?php getsidebar() ?;> somewhere in you bbpress theme file then mess with you bbpress css to make it fit.

“..same sort of functionality with editing php and css templates, etc. in bbpress as with WP”

no such thing

[fifthhouse]

Thanks everyone! I should be able to work this out with these plugins and guidelines. Cheers

[Kevin Ryman]

Once again, nice video tutorial. Keep them coming!

[johnhiler]

There’s a nice Mass Delete Users plugin that lets you batch delete members:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-delete-users/

I’ve used it before, and it’s great!

Just make sure to backup your data first, just to be on the safe side.

I think there are also plugins you can install to disable registration. Let me know if you are interested, and I can try to track one down!

[Kevin Ryman]

Even though you changed your mind, this question of yours may come in handy to someone else. Thank you for asking.

@Steven

In the bb Attachments FAQ, it is written:

if you get error: denied mime on every upload, mime_content_type function or shell access must exist to verify mime types – otherwise you can force all types to be allowed by editing bb-attachments.php and adding 'application/octet-stream' to each of the $bb_attachments['allowed']['mime_types']

And as I can see in the dump you pasted, neither mime_content_type is enabled, nor shell access, so you would need to add 'application/octet-stream' to each of the $bb_attachments['allowed']['mime_types'] in bb-attachments.php.

[Dailytalker]

I looked a bit around and found a peace of code with which I was able to create a plugin.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: UTF-8 usernames

Description: This plugin enables utf-8 characters in usernames. Mbstring must be enabled in the php.ini.

*/

function sanitize_user_mbstring( $raw_username, $username, $strict = false ) {

$raw_username = $username;

$username = strip_tags($username);

// Kill octets

$username = preg_replace(‘|%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])|’, ”, $username);

$username = preg_replace(‘/&.+?;/’, ”, $username); // Kill entities

// Usage of ‘mb_ereg_replace’ instead of ‘preg_replace’ to preserve accents.

if ( $strict )

$username = mb_ereg_replace(‘|[^a-z0-9 _.-@]|i’, ”, $username);

return apply_filters(‘sanitize_user_mbstring’, $username, $raw_username, $strict);

}

add_action(‘sanitize_user’, ‘sanitize_user_mbstring’, 0, 3);

?>

Unfortunately it doesn’t work properly. When it displays correctly in bbpress it doesn’t in wordpress and reverse. I don’t have access to the php.ini. Could it be, that the thing with “mbstring” is the problem?

[Dailytalker]

I solved the problem!

I removed all “»” in the rss.php

Looks like that information is stored in the bb_meta table in the bbPress database, with the following values:

meta_id: autoincrement

object type: bb_option

object_id: 0 (always zero in my case)

meta_key: these 4

user_bbdb_name

user_bbdb_user

user_bbdb_password

user_bbdb_host

meta_value: your database name, user, password and host.

[arpowers]

here’s a second one for ‘deep integrating’ with WP ( our customers struggle with that

http://www.pagelines.com/posts/deep-integration-with-bbpress/

Wait, is this just an installation procedure or integration procedure?

First is installing bbPress, second is deep integrating..

[cloner]

Chris,

The forum was set up and functoned for years with the split databases. Posts are saved in the bbPress db, whilst users are saved in the WordPress db. Now, for some reason, bbPress cannot read the user info from the WordPress db. I’ve tried to reinstall, but once I’ve completed “Step 1” and click the button to move to “Step 2”, the page is redirected to the forum homepage and I never get an opportunity to get to “Step 2”. I assume the installation script realized that there is already an installation of bbPress present and refuses to go further.

My questions is, how (in the code) are bbPress and WordPress tied together? What could be fouled up that makes it impossible for bbPress to read the existing user data from WordPress?

[johnhiler]

bbPress markup sounds suspiciously like hyper text markup.

[benbt-japan]

bbpress markup requires < > not [ ] around the tags.

[benbt-japan]

This new forum has just been installed, but I have noticed – as I write a guide for non-English users of the forums in Japanese – that bbcode does not seem to be working. The url is http://www.language-global.com/language/forums/ but it might be quicker just to tell me if the following bbcode ‘tags’ work on bbpress :

[ul][li][/li][/ul] & [strong][/strong]

The message beneath the posting box includes all of those in the list of allowed markup, but none of them are working at the moment. Have also searched the admin area for some control over bbcode but couldn’t find any.

Very happy with the look and feel of bbpress after wrestling with a certain WP plugin for almost two days without achieving what I have achieved with this forum in one afternoon.

[johnhiler]

What do you mean about the bbPress querying the WordPress database for user data? I thought most posts are showing up as Anonymous?

If they are different database, then that explains the problem. You want to install both WordPress and bbPress inside of a single database, if they are going to share users. This guide to integration might be useful.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

It’s a bit outdated, but I’m guessing it will give you a nice lay of the land.

[cloner]

OK…..in bb-config.php, there is a line that reads:

// of the “SECRET_KEY” in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘6koHWRD9d{XOEQ-S5+T[Or|TK[at.G8Qo~s,Z$]n:Yt:Ts%+uVpO.]MI3$’); // Change this to a unique phrase.

Then, in wp-config.php, there’s a line that reads:

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘6koHWRD9d{XOEQ-S5+T[Or|TK[at.G8Qo~s,Z$]n:Yt:Ts%+uVpO.]MI3$’|P]tL’);

Notice the line in bbpress is missing the characters: ‘|P]tL’

I don’t know if the ‘ between and | is the end of the phrase and the P[tl is code, or if the whole ‘|P]tL should be added, but it seems odd that they don’t match EXACTLY.

Reckon this is an issue? I don’t know why it would have changed, but something’s askew.

[guarda-faro]

I already know that plugin. In fact I found the operative version of the same and I proved it. It has some deficiencies that I did not like. I rejected to use it. I do not understand the reason bbPress does not include the use of static pages. He is not so complicated. On the other hand, I prefer not to use plugins, if I can avoid it. For that reason I prefer to find another form through some function that I can incorporate to the code of my template.

Thank you

@ kawauso

I applied the patches suggested via the trac and your comments but my rss feed is still returning invalid in Chrome, Opera and Firefox (in Safari it works fine)

it does seem to be something wrong with the markup via an extra space in front of the xml declaration somewhere…

Anyone have any ideas??

Chrome:

error on line 1 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document

Opera:

XML parsing failed: syntax error (Line: 1, Character: 1)

Error:XML declaration not at beginning of document

and it shows a space in front of the initial <? xml

Firefox:

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity

Location: /rss.php?topic=2074

Line Number 1, Column 2: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

Update: I seem to have gotten it working, by inserting the following code directly to function bb_safe_redirect within functions.bb-pluggable.php, right before the line checking against $allowed_hosts:

$allowed_redirects = array();

$allowed_redirects[] = 'offsite-feedback-forum.com';

$allowed_redirects[] = 'base-blog-url.com';

$allowed_redirects[] = 'base-blog-url.com/wordpress-installed-directory';

add_filter('allowed_redirect_hosts', 'add_allowed_redirect_hosts');

I originally tried to do this from a plugin, as the code above is copied from a handy WordPress plugin, but I was not able to get it to work without sticking it right within the pluggable.php file. If anybody has a better suggestion, I’d love to avoid editing the core files if possible!
