Hi, 2 problems and I hope you guys can help me out

1. I’m getting this error:

Warning: require_once(/hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/htdocs/blog/wp-config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/bb-config.php on line 66

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/htdocs/blog/wp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php-5.2.2/lib/php’) in /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/forum/bb-config.php on line 66

I know that i defined the path incorrectly..i want it to say /htdocs/blog/wp-config.php and NOT htdocs/forum/htdocs/blog/wp-config.php

How do i write it without it including the htdocs/forum part. (my blog is on my /blog directory and the forum is in the /forum directory). Sorry, i’m a hug newb but I’d appreciate some guidance.

Problem 2:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/blog/wp-blog-header.php:4) in /hermes/web10/b811/pow.oktearoom/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/merchants/paypal_certified.php on line 741

That is showing up at the top of my blog. Any idea on how to tackle that?

Thanks

Bob

Hurrah……. I got it

Dear Sir johnhiler….. After conversation with you i was damn researching on this issue to solve this problem over the internet with your telling points. So after watching the video” http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/23/integrating-a-bbpress-forum-with-your-self-installed-wordpress” I integrated my one bbpress ( Suppose bbpress01 ) to lonely wordpress. so my first “bbpress01” had been successful integrate with one wordpress and all cookies and users was set. so next i want to merge my other 24 bbpress install into this successful integration.

so my next working was;

i copy paste my bbpress01 rename it to bbpress02. then i went to the bb-config.php of bbpress02 and add these stuff in it:

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb2_’;

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

Note: database of all 25 bbpress and 1 wordpress was same just changing in tables prefix like bb1_, bb2_ bb3_ to bb25 and add just custom user table code.

you can i also view the screenshot of work here is it.

for wp-config.php: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8249/wpconfig.jpg

for bbpress01 bb-config.php: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/6034/bb1su.jpg

for bbpress 02 bb-config.php: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2746/bb2xa.jpg

so here i was successful which i want.

1. share users

2. shared database

3. cookies integration

but “One” thing is still remain

if a user “john” login to my bbpress01. he should also show login status on my other 24 forums.

I think you can understand it. now i need cookies integration for other 24 bbpress.

cookies integration just was set b/w bbpress01 and wordpress. how can we set cookies for all my other remaining 24 forums.

I’ll be great thankful to you if you try to solve my final step and give me the smart solution.

waiting for your reply with great curiosity

[InvTrdr]

Thank you.

I think having gotten into plugin development with bbPress, a big part of what it needs is more documentation. One of the great advantages of WordPress is the ease with which additional functionality can be implemented, and bbPress is quite similar in that respect, but actually knowing how to implement it using the native functions available is currently a learnt skill, rather than something you can pick up from reading the Codex. As this thread shows, bbPress has a wide variety of uses and situations, so it’s important for it to be easily adaptable in order to grow.

Not too much to do with how bbPress develops as a codebase, but not too off-topic I hope

[johnhiler]

Ah ok.

1) Your first step is going to be to get all of the installs to use the same users table. Technically, you’ll want to follow steps similar to the ones described here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-reverse-integration-steps

However, your job will be greatly complicated by the fact that each install will have overlaps in terms of userid and usernames. For example, userid #5 on bbPress install #1 is going to refer to a different user than userid#5 on bbPress install#2. You’re going to have to address that – this link will help greatly:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-of-established-wp-and-bbpress-installations

2) Phew, it’s good that they’re all in the same database… hopefully your WordPress install is also in the same database. This will simplify things a bit.

3) Ok, good to know.

I can’t offer custom help – I’m just a volunteer! But I’m glad to try and help you here, so others can learn from the discussion…

Here’s what I would recommend:

1) Your first step would be to backup all of your data.

2) Then, I’d setup a test environment exactly like your current environment and put your data there. That way, you can work on the integration with much less stress.

3) Then I would figure out how to deal with the userid and username overlap described above. This will probably be the hardest part!

4 ) Once you’ve figured that out, you’re all set to integrate all the installs to use the same usertable.

5) Finally once that’s done, you can also integrate the cookies so users only have to signin once!

If this sounds waaay too hard, you may want to hire a consultant or expert to help ya out! Here’s a list of people who are available:

[johnhiler]

I’m sorry to say this, but integrating your 25 installs is probably going to require more work than filling in a setting page.

A few questions for you:

1) You have 25 bbPress installs, and they are currently not sharing a user table… is that right? As in, if I sign up as “john” on one install… can I sign in with that username and password on another one of your bbPress installs?

2) If your bbPress installs are not sharing a user table… do you know if all of the user tables are in the same database?

3) Finally, what versions of WordPress and bbPress are you using?

[johnhiler]

You should be able to access your Akismet spam queue at this URL:

htttp://yourdomain.com/bb-admin/admin-base.php?plugin=bb_ksd_admin_page

It should be linked under the Manage sub-tab, I think?

You can clear spam from there! I definitely check my spam queue a few times a day…

[johnhiler]

This is absolutely possible. I wrote a bit about it here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-multiple-forums

I now have about 10 bbPress installs all working, and they’re both integrated with two separate WordPress installs. So this is definitely possible. You just need to make sure that all the installs are using the same users table.

The bigger issue is: do any of your installs share usernames? For example, a “John” registered on one site and on another one? That will be tricky to manage – a path is described nicely here… look for the section on “user_id” conflicts:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integration-of-established-wp-and-bbpress-installations#post-28701

Good luck!

[bblover]

dear all coders,

I’m lover of bbpress so I was working on 25 different bbpress forums and one wordpress. Now i want to integrate theses stuff to each other. but i think one wordpress only can integrate with one bbpress forum. but i can’t face this situation because i’m working on my forums preceding 4 months. if i fail to integration these 25 forum with one wordpress then all my effort will go to the hell. it’s humble request to all developers to solve this situation and save my work and give me the smart solution.

Note: I don’t want to install 25 wordpress to integrate 25 forums.

Remember: 25 forums integration with one wordpress

Please Please Help me

It is very crucial situation for me … tell me how to handle it.

[chrishajer]

You can edit that for each user individually. Are you talking about just doing it for yourself? If you go the edit a user’s profile, you should see this checkbox:

[ ] Allow this user to Ignore the 30 second post throttling limit

There was a setting in bb-config.php to make it a different number, but you can turn it off completely for each user in their profile.

1. SimplePress looks better than BuddyPress did before Automattic has acquired it. I intent to emphasize rather business aspect, than technology one. It would be better for WordPress community if the resources will concentrated, not dispersed.

2. Try vBulletin4.0(beta). It’s “light, adaptable, etc”…

3. My company develops 4-6 [WP-based] sites (not blogs) a month. God bless WordPress!

CMS=ContentManagementSystem, isn’t blogging about content management?

And you’re right, hopefully, it’s CURRENT shortcomings will be overcame in 3.0

[apam]

Ok the problem seems to be the HTML purifier plugin that inserts those linebreaks which is a pity for it does a good job of cleaning up the code.

I have disabled it for now unitll I’ll find a solution, if anyoe can shed some light it would be great!

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I have to agree it’d be good for bbPress to add support for more basic forum functions like merging topics. As it stands, it’s rather silly to need plugins for such basic things. The majority of use does seem to be with bbPress as part of a community package with buddyPress and WordPress though.

It’d be nice too if WordPress (plugin) support could be implemented through an interface layer or something similar that could be added as a plugin or similar to bbPress when it was installed via WordPress, so keeping the core codebase as clean as possible.

bbPress 1.0 was already written to use BackPress functions (WordPress essentially) so I’d imagine it’d just be a case of changing how it outputs content and handles URLs when under WordPress.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

michayu:

1. SimplePress looks horrible, and the cleaner bbPress codebase is, the better. It also implements a lot of what in bbPress mentality would be plugin-based.

2. vBulletin is clunky and the opposite of what bbPress aims to be (light, adaptable, etc.)

3. WordPress IS a blogging platform. It has supplementary CMS features such as pages, and can be adapted into a CMS, but it’s primary focus and purpose is blogging. I pray it never gets turned into yet another CMS (and look on discussions on the WordPress support forums about its current shortcomings when used as a CMS if you want proof it’s not one).

[Gautam]

Thanks for the answer Matt, looking ahead for a great future of bbPress.

[rvlawrence]

Wow, I can’t believe the “Matt” actually wrote back to me.

One of the reasons why I went with WordPress is the strength of the plugins and community. I toyed a bit with Joomla but the interface stinks, and it’s too difficult to use and not pretty behind the scenes. People say that it’s stronger than WordPress and more adaptable but I think WordPress is quickly surpassing it as the defacto blogging/CMS building tool. New users like me can get up and running quickly and it’s fun to use!!! Joomla was nothing but a nightmare, ugly and not enjoyable at all. The people in their community are ok to deal with but many are tech-snobs. Thank you WordPress!!!

Any other information on BBpress is appreciated, including a timeline of features to come and integration. Please give us a peek to what the future holds…

[chrishajer]

It definitely needs to be inside the <?php ?> code block, or it’s just HTML to the browser. You probably didn’t have it in a code block if you saw it displayed.

A syntax highlighting editor helps a lot with this. It helps you see what is code and what is plain text.

[talgalili]

Hi Guys.

It seems there isn’t going to be an integration in the near future:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/there-isnt-going-to-be-an-integration-of-bbpress-with-intense-debate

Maybe if more of you will make “sound” someone will budge

Hopefully.

[InvTrdr]

Thanks. I will ahve to try it again as once when I used it in my footer.php I actually saw the /* and */ on the page itself. I might have inserted it the wrond way.

Thanks.

[johnhiler]

Can you give us an update on the revamping of the bbpress.org website? Sam was about to launch that when he left.

Currently, the Plugins tab is on a separate bbPress version than the Forums tab (so you have to sign into each separately), and there’s no Codex for documentation…

Thanks!

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

The Warning message is because forwards depend on sending headers. Different headers are sent automatically however if there’s any text returned by a PHP file that’s loaded, which is a common problem created by whitespace around the <?php ?> tags. If text headers are sent, you can’t send a redirect header, thus the warning and the breaking of redirects.

[citizenkeith]

Thanks Matt!

[citizenkeith]

Nevermind… I figured that part out.

@HSeatSleeper: Can you talk a little bit more about the special care you gave to the admin account? When testing, I got locked out of my blog as well, and couldn’t figure out why (my wp_1_capabilities were set correctly, as was user_level).

Can you easily list the steps you took to secure the admin account? Thanks!

[chrishajer]

Yes, just open front-page.php in your template and move the blocks of code around to arrange them however you want. Put the discussions on the bottom and the forum list on top.

[chrishajer]

For a single line of PHP, you can just do this:

// echo $phone;

And that single line will be commented out. If what you’re commenting spans more than one line, use the /* commented code */ method.
