I started from scratch and I’m trying to add it to the menu

I’ve tried

http://www.example.com/bbtest/forums

http://www.example.com/bbtest/forum

Each of them go to Page not found page.

I’ve got a fresh install of the latest versions. Have config’d both config.php files to match. This is on 1and1.

I was able to login to WP just fine, but as I installed BB, WP tells me ‘You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.’ when logging in with admin account.

I installed BB on same DB as WP.

BB works fine.

I’ve tried resetting the password on WP, same result.

Any input would be appreciated. thanks!

As I said earlier, “And we’re also done with these or I’ve patches ready for these“. I’m still doing testing etc. & I’ll post the patches once I’m finished.

@alanchrishughes

If you are talking about one reply per page style threads like creativecow.com please do not, that is the most annoying forum to follow in the world.

Nothing like that. Moreover, replies per page would be an option given to the user.

Someone also mentioned the forums/forum/thread problem and I agree, I would like if possible the option to just go http://www.sitename.com/forum/threadname. Not every market or group needs that much organization. And being able to rename “forum” to something else would be nice also, I don’t know if that is already possible or not, I’ve been trying to be patient and just wait until it is done.

Yup, there would be options to edit any slug.

Are you still required to use the Twenty Ten theme? Or was that just something during the development process?

The development process is still going on, though you can port your themes very easily, you just need to add a few files.

Is this the version that is suppose to be compatible with Buddypress?

Nop, we’re focussing on the basic forum features right now. No BuddyPress integration yet (I don’t know if jjj’s working on that, but I don’t think so).

How do I ad a link back my main WordPress page?

I want it at the top to the right of the login link.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I’m using latest versions as of Dec 2010

@intimez

Regarding forums/forum, that’s gonna be an option. You could remove the root slug (i.e. forums) from all the slugs, once we just add it.

And regarding [edit, sticky, move], I said “And we’re also done with these or I’ve patches ready for these“. If you want to test these, just register up on my demo forums, I’ve set the default role as Forum Moderator, so you’d see those links.

[intimez]

I downloaded branches_plugin-2743 and testing once again

I installed in subfolder and created a forum called general and getting the following url: http://www.example.com/bbtest/forums/forum/general

Why forums/forum?

Also [edit, sticky, move] are greyed out for topics.

[Malfunction]

Is there anything a moderate PHP programmer / designer can do to help? Testing, coding?

Looking forward to see this plugin developed. Could use a proper forum plugin that integrates well with WordPress itself.

In this topic is fine. Would rather have more eyes on this than less.

The solution involved the shuffling of things around, as well as this specific addition: https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-login.php#L51

Basically if the esc’ed $re is now empty, fall back to the installation root. At first this seemed like a silly solution, but because the login always attempts to smart redirect, there isn’t a circumstance where it would naturally be empty. By moving the esc’s up and letting them filter out the baddies, it’s possible to end up with an empty $re.

Tested with ampersands and question marks and it appears to work fine. I’ll try more esoteric URL combinations and see if it breaks.

I indented that code because of the repeated empty( $re ) checks. I had a hard time keeping track of how many times it needed to repeat the same check and bumped them in for clarity. Not a common formatting technique but helpful to me at the time.

Maybe I am getting rusty, but looking at the diff, I don’t see it.

Basically it’s the same thing, shuffled around a bit and the same esc_url and esc_attr is being used at the end, which is the same pattern as the existing 1.0/1.1 code.

Are you sure the fix was not being caused by just having a more updated version of esc_url and esc_attr ?

Or was it just being solved by moving those two sanitizers up higher before bb_safe_redirect could ever be called. Because that was definitely an oversight on someone’s part (not me). Based on the comments I’d guess they thought their functionality was for display filtering and not actually sanitization.

Looking at esc_url though, its default is indeed meant for displaying urls by default, note the comment in the code “Replace ampersands and single quotes only when displaying.” and how the context is set by default to “display”.

Maybe test your solution with a url that contains an ampersand, it probably will not work?

Also, are you relying on the list of protocols to do the sanitization? Because that could be defeated too (and would prevent using relative urls that are legitimate).

ps. very minor but you have confusing indentation indicating nesting with the code at line 18 – which actually is not nested

Feel free to email me directly if that’s better.

We learnt bbpress is somewhat linked with wordpress.

However, according to our testing result on wp latest version, it is certainly not vulnerable to this issue.

Thanks, I got the report.

This is interesting.

Do you find that WordPress fails this test too? Because it uses a very similar routine.

I feel the problem should be addressed in function wp_sanitize_redirect which would solve it cross-platform.

Hi Willabee,

Thanks for your response, I now have a quick and dirty fix by showing 100 post per page so its not showing page count.

Any change you have skype available to contact and test it out?

Or just post here and I will enable normal post per page (25) and you can hopefully check it out

[Double Stuff]

Hello All

Happy Holidays

I had my host install bbpress on url/forum and now I am stuck. They do not provide support.

I have been able to login to bb-admin but see no administrative options. Just a “This Is Your First Post” and a test post the host did.

I guess what I’m looking for is the manual and directions to set up and sync to the existing wordpress blog.

I have put the integration plugin on my server in my-plugins but see no way to activate it or set up. The plugin read me only says “put in my-plugins folder”

I have been reading the forum and docs for two days and just dont get it.

Whats my next step/steps once install is complete.

Feel free to list all the steps to follow.

I’m not a coder, but know the wp files pretty well.

Thanks in advance for your help

It would be great if you tell me the alternative or solution.

Actually I can’t release the source code of my adaptation because of the GPL’s rules but I have modified the original plugin on the fly for you. Keep in mind that I have changed it but I haven’t tested it nor I have run it. So don’t install it in a production server but test if it functions first.

In my bavatars mod every files are stored on the ‘avatars/’ folder. Obviously you need to transfer all existing images in the top directory and then delete all the folders (it can be a very very long operation if you access your server through FTP).

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15741404/bavatars.0.4.1-zaerl-mod.zip

I can write a php snippet that copies the images in the top folder if you want.

bbPress is the fastest option available. A point worth mentioning is that 0.9v is much faster than 1.0.2v

[Jaja..]

I have made a front-page where i show off all latest topics matching the forum ID’s..

It looks like this.

Forum id = General questions -> latest topics of the general questions

Forum id = Support questions -> latest topics of the support questions

I did this by hiding or deleting the forum id’s from all others and repeat the latest topics section.

Like this.

‘

<table id=”latest” role=”main”>

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘Topic’); ?> — <?php bb_new_topic_link(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

<!– <th><?php _e(‘Voices’); ?></th> –>

<th><?php _e(‘Last Poster’); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php if ( $stickies ) : foreach ( $stickies as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <big>“><?php topic_title(); ?></big><?php topic_page_links(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<!– <td class=”num”><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> –>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 4 ) { ?>

<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 5 ) { ?>

<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 6 ) { ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> “><?php topic_title(); ?><?php topic_page_links(); ?></td>

<td class=”counter”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<!– <td class=”num”><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> –>

<td class=”last-post-avatar”><?php echo bb_get_avatar( $topic->topic_last_poster , ’36’); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php } ?>

<?php } ?>

<?php } ?>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

</table>

<table id=”latest” role=”main”>

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘Topic’); ?> — <?php bb_new_topic_link(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php } ?>

<?php } ?>

<?php } ?>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

But know i have a problem with using this plugin.

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/

I only want to show the latest 5 topics of each forum ID (excluding the once i’m hiding)

Know with this plugin it also counts the topics i’m hiding..

Isn’t there some code that says: show only the latest 5 topics from forum ID 3

Thanks,

[citizenkeith]

Still alien to me, you see all the replies, but you don’t see the original post!

Well, yes… that is annoying. A link to an individual post is great and useful. The weird behavior that’s in your test install isn’t quite right.

[Snat]

I plan to do so after I have cleaned up the code and then test it on a few different IP.Board sites. My current code is not the most “prettiest” at the mo.

I am currently working on all this so you should likely see something in the coming weeks or so
