Thanks for the themes

It’d probably be useful to have a section on registration and post spam, along with the various techniques to fight it:

PERMALINKS

Some general stuff on htaccess and pretty permalinks (and how support for different approaches to permalinks vary across hosts):

VERSION DIFFERENCES

It’d also be helpful to have a summary table showing major differences between the different versions, especially for people using plugins and unsure if an upgrade will break their plugins.

For example, version 1.0 uses BackPress plus it uses WordPress’ latest taxonomy stuff. Plus it has a new approach to meta data. So if an 0.9 compatible plugin depends on any of this stuff, it will probably break in 1.0 unless the plugin’s been specifically updated for the latest version.

There isn’t a functions.php file in any theme, nor in kakumei and in my own theme which is based off of kakumei.

@Fanny

rather, ask, how great is the difference between RC3 and RC2? is it enough for there to be any incompatibility issues…? if the difference is small, than most RC2 plugins should work with RC3.

in which you might want to look at this thread: –

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/list-of-plugins-that-work-on-rc1

otherwise… add to the list of tested RC3 plugins by contributing to this list…

RC3 Compatible :-

– BB-Reputations

– BB Code Lite

– Members Online

– BB-Signatures

– BBPM

[massbase]

never had a pingback before, and not sure how it looks, but ill give the above code a try.

[Sam Bauers]

Put this into your themes functions.php file and call it at will. It may screw up with pingback posts, not sure though.

function my_post_author_avatar_profile_link( $size = '48', $default = '', $post_id = 0 ) {

if ( ! bb_get_option('avatars_show') )

return false;



$author_id = get_post_author_id( $post_id );

if ( $link = get_user_profile_link( $author_id ) ) {

echo '<a href="' . esc_attr( $link ) . '">' . bb_get_avatar( $author_id, $size, $default ) . '</a>';

} else {

echo bb_get_avatar( $author_id, $size, $default );

}

}

@johnhiler: thanks for your reply, sorry I didn’t express clearly, I didn’t mean whether the attachment can be downloaded if registered or not, I mean, the permalink is dynamical and thus somewhat ugly, not that friendly in SEO.

Actually, I write a robots.txt rule in the root of http://www.dreamfreeblog.com like:

User-agent: *

Disallow: /bbs/?bb_attachment=*

but unexpectly, it didn’t work, the attachment link still be indexed. Do I need to write the rule in /bbs root?

and secondly, as the link like:

http://www.dreamfreeblog.com/bbs/ topic/18?bb_attachments=30&bbat=19

I don’t know how to write the robots.txt rule….

Recently I’d been trying to deep integrate WP 2.8 and bb 1.0-rc1 together. I had previously managed to do it successfully with WP 2.5.1 and bb 0.9.0.4, so I tried porting the same method to the newer version.

Unfortunately however, it doesn’t seem to work. With the addition of backPress, the old method of deep integration no longer works as some functions get called twice, triggering a fatal error.

[Wed Jun 17 02:56:20 2009] [error] [client 86.45.179.252] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _mb_substr() (previously declared in */wordpress/wp-includes/compat.php:86) in */forums/bb-includes/backpress/functions.compat.php on line 108, referer: *

So, mainly I was wondering whether anyone else had managed to find a new method of deep integration, or whether it’s now not possible at all?

[Arturo]

see the following 3d:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/just-one-more-release-candidate-10-rc-3

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-integration-problem-wp28-bb-10-rc-2

to make the integration work, change the cookie key, in wp-config and bb-config, in wp-config insert :

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘www.site.com’);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

in bb-config:

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘www.site.com’;

with this code i have the integration fixed.

[Josh Leuze]

I think I found a bug with the third RC of bbPress 1.0 and WordPress 2.8, I checked around the forums and in Trac and didn’t see this specific issue mentioned elsewhere.

I have WordPress installed in a subdirectory, with bbPress installed below that.

WordPress: http://www.mydomain.com/beta/

bbPress: http://www.mydomain.com/beta/forums

So aside from having WordPress installed in a subdirectory for testing purposes, there is nothing out of the ordinary about my install. I don’t have WordPress set up to run in the root from the subdirectory or anything, it’s totally standard.

The issue is that when I am logged in through WordPress, I am unable to access the backend of WordPress. Any attempt to access the Dashboard or any other page on the admin area is redirected to the login page of WordPress, even though I am already logged in.

I am able to access the admin area of bbPress, but I am unable to logout from either WordPress or bbPress.

When I login through bbPress, I am able to access the backend of both WordPress and bbPress. I am able to logout from bbPress, but not WordPress.

I have followed along with Sam’s basic integration screencast a few times now, I believe I am installing everything correctly, and the results are consistent.

I have a live install of WordPress running in the root of this particular domain, so I am unable to do a test install in the root, but I have a feeling that it would run fine there and that this issue is the result of installing from a subdirectory.

The only difference that I can see between the screencast and what I am seeing on my end is the manual cookie settings code that bbPress asks you to add to wp-config.php at the end. In the screencast, bbPress lists this code:

define('COOKIEPATH', '/');

But in my install, bbPress lists this code:

define('COOKIEHASH', 'e49cd3ef5873cd2d82bbc6a99b41ebfa');

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.www.mydomain.com');

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/beta/wp-admin');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/beta/');

When I delete those three extra line from my wp-config.php file, leaving only the fourth line, the issue is resolved and I am able to login in and out from either WordPress or bbPress, and access both admin areas.

Has anyone else encountered a problem like this? Am I skipping a step, or is one of the paths that bbPress giving incorrect?

[mcmc]

I could also no login anymore, therefore I removed the code.

maybe this info is helpful:

as soon as I log in at http://investorsbuzz.com/forum_/bb-login.php

it changes to http://www.investorsbuzz.com/forum_/

WP 2.8 (not MU), been integrated since 2.7 without issue once I re-set my secret keys. The only hard time I had was sorting out my cookie paths, since I have my blog at domain.org/blog, but it’s ACCESSED at domain.org, and the forums are domain.org/forums.

This has been working like a champ:

// WordPress cookie integration speedup

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://domain.net/blog';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://domain.net';

$bb->cookiedomain = '.domain.net';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->authcookie         = 'wordpress_COOKIE';

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = 'wordpress_sec_COOKIE';

$bb->logged_in_cookie   = 'wordpress_logged_in_COOKIE';

$bb->admin_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-admin';

$bb->core_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-plugins';

$bb->user_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/my-plugins';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/blog/';

$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = '/blog/wp-admin';

$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = '/blog/wp-content/plugins';

Also I kick all http://www.domain.net traffic back to straight domain.net to force things to be in order, which may be useful to someone.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

As a novice bike commuter (who visits Toronto) WOOT! Your site looks good If you do, eventually, bring WP into the game, you may need some finagling, as ‘reverse’ integration is a bit un-tested.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Put this in your .htaccess file at the public_html level:

# Getting rid of the WWW in front

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.investorsbuzz.com [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://investorsbuzz.com/$1 [L,R=301]

If you have wordpress info in that file, put this BEFORE the WP stuff.

Ugh and there’s a bug in put $1 right after the / in http://investorsbuzz.com/

I don’t know why that’s happening. See http://yfrog.com/eahtaccessg

I tried integrating WordPress 2.8 with bbPress 0.9.0.5 today but I found out that it can’t be done as per my tutorial because WP 2.8 has added one more function by which they change how they handle login so “Freshly baked cookies” plugin is broken for WP 2.8 at the moment. I would suggest integrating WP 2.7.1 with bbPress 0.9.0.5

Apart from new Widgets functionality, theme installing capability and some back-end performance improvement, you won’t miss much

Or you can wait for a few days for bbPress 1.0 which will integrate with WP 2.8 without any pain.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

What’s ‘this’?

Cause as I said, you CAN delete posts and move topics. What ‘this’ are you talking about?

[Arturo]

the automatic timezone is a fantastic feature!

the backend is very fast to load…

BUT

cookie integration with wp 2.8 (not mu) doesn’t work, when i try to login bb i’m logged out from wp and vice versa (my old problem)

i’m in wp-config.php

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘www.site.com’); (without dot in front)

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

in bb-config.php

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘www.site.com’;

with or without www nothing change.

ah, i’ve your plugin activate…

this is my only problem with this (the best) bbpress release until now

[bikingtoronto]

*Just* started using bbpress for a forum… have been using blogger for my blog, but the ease of bbpress is making me seriously consider wordpress for the blog.

Looking forward to more bbpress developments.

I have installed the bbPress Attachments plugin, it works fine to add an attachment, but the problem is that, the corresponding file will has a link like :

http://www.dreamfreeblog.com/bbs/ topic/18?bb_attachments=30&bbat=19

or

http://www.dreamfreeblog.com/bbs/ ?bb_attachments=24&bbat=13

as Google indexed page, actually as “Sorry, download is restricted.”

Is there a method to avoid such permalinks except that to write a robots.txt rule for Google? Many thanks in advance!

Check this thread in my bbPress for an example:

http://www.dreamfreeblog.com/bbs/topic/4

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Ask a silly question

Page links for bbPress (1.0.4) should be removed, since it’s build in to bbPress 1 (per Sam). But yeah, the rest of your plugins look fine.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’ve never lost admin access on any integration (6 and counting). Hence my confusion

[the_Wish]

Thanks. I clean installed the “latest” build, still no dice unfortunately. Code keeps getting scrambled. I went back to RC1 which doesn’t have this problem for me.

If it’s working for you, maybe it’s related to one of my Plugins (though I doubt it)… will have to wait for the final beta I guess.
