Hey everyone,

Testing out RC3, and it works in terms of bbPress/BuddyPress/WPMu 2.7.1 integration far better than RC2, which had me stumped. I do have one lingering issue with the integrated signon between WPMu and bbPress for anyone who might have a lead. When I login to either WPMu or bbPress it logs me into both applications, however, if I try and logout of bbPress when I originally logged in to WPMu, for example, it won’t log me out. I have to actually go and logout of WPMu to be logged out of bbPress. This was a similar/common issue in a version that was in the 0.7.x or 0.8.x series. And I have the sneaky suspicion there is something in my config files that is baling it. Anyone having a similar issue? Anyone know of a fix? Below are my config files for both wp and bbPress.

Right now I have this in my wp-config:

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.umwblogs.org’ );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘#################’ );

And this in my bb-config:

// WordPress cookie integration speedup

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://umwblogs.org’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://umwblogs.org’;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_###################’;

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = ‘wordpress_sec_###################’;

$bb->logged_in_cookie = ‘wordpress_logged_in_###################’;

$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 = ‘/’;

$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = ‘/wp-admin’;

$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = ‘/wp-content/plugins’;

// End integration speedups

define( ‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1 );

• bb latest discussions wordpress plugin now reports an error.

This was not actually true… Seems I only needed to remove the trailing slash on my bbpress URL and voila! It works fine.

• No more images… bbpress just eats the code. allow images plugin installed, and activated.

This, however, is still true. Has anyone else encountered this trouble?

Trying to determine if it’s a plugin in need of update, or if it’s an error on my part, or an actual issue in RC3

However, it looks like integration actually works (for the very first time ever!)

This remains true. So happy about that!

Just updated to RC3 with WP2.8

I am using bbPress 1.0-alpha 6 and the bbpress-forum theme (same as the one used on these forums).

I have forums and subforums and have hidden the subforums on the main page, so that only the parent forums and latest topics are showing.

The challenge is that the parent forums are showing 0 topics and 0 posts, even when their subforums do have topics and posts.

How can I get the number of subforum posts and topics included in the parent forums’ count on the main page.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I upgraded to the latest version. Please tell me which file and while tables are involved so I can track it down.

may not be helping if the user is already logged in before the status was changed from Member to Blocked. I have the Online status plugin and I still see a few blocked users in there, who had logged in before their status was changed. Any info on this?

I have the database relation in bbPress set to if WP Contributor = then bbPress Blocked ; if WP Author = then bbPress Member

At times the way our site works some users in WP are moved from “Authors” to “Contributors”. Will bbPress automatically move the status of that user from “Member” to “Blocked” or will we have to manually convert the status of the user in both WP and bbPress. We though did try testing a few and found that in WP if we changed the user from ‘Author’ to ‘Contributor’, there was no change of bbPress user status (they still remained ‘Member’ though they should have ‘Blocked’)

Hi, just tried to install bbpress 1.0-RC3. Step 1-3 was no problem but after step 4 I got the following info:

“Your installation completed with some minor errors. See the error log below for more specific information.”

“Show installation messages”

Installation errors: “Forum could not be created!”

Is there anybody who knows how I can solve that problem? I’ve no idea why it could not be created…

Installation log:

Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

Step 1 – Creating database tables

>>> Database is already installed!!!

Step 2 – WordPress integration (optional)

>>> Integration not enabled (I made this before….thats not the problem I know where to find keys and how copy/paste works)

Step 3 – Site settings

Site name: page1

>>> Site address (URL): http://ssssss.com/

>>> From email address: dxd@dffff.com

>>> Key master created

>>>>>> Username: admin

>>>>>> Email address: dxd@dffff.com

>>>>>> Password:

>>> Description: Just another bbPress community

>>> Forum could not be created!

>>> Key master email sent

There were some errors encountered during installation!

I use latest wp mu version and latest buddypress version.

[Arturo]

dthom you use the latest rc-3 version?

[kaap0116]

My forum names(main themes) are locations where forum is held.

I want to replace post counts in the column at the latest discussion with the forum names(mine is locations) so that they will be able to know where the topic is posted.

Can anybody teach me how to do that?

front-page.php line52

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

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

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

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td> <!– I want to replace here with something like forum_names –>

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

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

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>

[Arturo]

ok download the latest version of bbpress integration plugin bu Sam now is available the version rc-3 too…

[Arturo]

@Sam I did the test on the language and everything seems to work with deep integration. i’ve tested it translating the bbpress pot for rc-3 in italian.

[nielowait]

Wow, this is a bit of a headache.

I’m busy trying to get the integration sorted out and got along quite well (WPMU, BBPress, BuddyPress combo), although I still needed to log in twice, when my luck ran out and now I can’t seem to log into bbpress. Bit annoying. I’ve reinstalled the whole thing, but still no luck. Trying to debug it at the moment, but it’s tough going.

I did come across something that needed fixing though; I’m not sure where to submit this fix, so I’m posting it here for now.

The bug was this; the latest release candidate never displayed the dropdown from which one selects the keymaster during installation due to a mistake in line 2569 of bb-admin/includes/class.bb-install.php.

Previously the line was;

$wp_administrator_meta_key .= $this->data[2] . ‘_’;

which meant the meta_key it tried to query the db on looked something like this; ‘wp_capabilities1_’.

I changed it to:

$wp_administrator_meta_key = $bbdb->escape( $bb->wp_table_prefix . $this->data[2] . ‘_capabilities’ );

so now the key will be ‘wp_1_capabilities’.

This is obviously (when you look at the code) only relevant when setting the default blog id.

Hope it helps someone!

Hi guys,

I was facing the same problem here, but I could solve it. Basically, I put this on wp-config.php:

define('COOKIEHASH', '65f9fb5b6e5df178e02402af4495ed46');

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.www.rodrigoghedin.com.br');

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/teste/');

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

And this in bb-config.php:

$bb->cookiedomain = '.www.rodrigoghedin.com.br';

I’m running a test installation. Main WordPress is in a directory (/teste), and bbPress is a sub-directory (/teste/bbpress). Right now, it’s working fine.

[]’s!

[Arturo]

@Sam by rc-2, there are many changes in the pot? if yes, you can generate the pot for the rc-3? I just translate the pot and do the tests. thanks

Hi,

I’ve been searching this forums yet but could’nt find any explanation to my problem so here it goes:

I’m a newbie at developping for bbpress, and trying to customize it for my needs.

First, I’m running bbPress 0.9.4; I’m also using a copy of the default theme that i’m modifying (located in my-templates/mysite).

I’ve attached a hook to the action ‘bb_index.php_pre_db’ which is ran on bbpress/index.php; My goal is to display only forums (without latest discussions and sticky topics) so i’ve copied the content of index.php and removed calls to latest discussions and sticky topics:

add_action('bb_index.php_pre_db', 'home');

function home(){

$forums = get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

do_action( ‘bb_index.php’, ” );

bb_load_template( ‘front-page.php’);

exit();

}

The problem is that once in the file front-page.php, the $forums variable doesnt exists anymore. Actually i tried to print it out in the bb_load_template as well and the variable is empty too. It seems that because i’m using a hook (called by do_action), globals variable do not exists anymore in this context. I might be wrong but i’m actually stuck to this point and can’t really move forward. Any tips?

Cheers.

Hi ya’ll I had something so weird happen that I need help. Using simplescripts,, I installed bbpress on my blog @ http://www.thewordonthewordoffaithblog.com/forum

This is what happens when I try to log in,,, it does not login and it adds my address to the URL. Like this http://www.thewordonthewordoffaithblog.com/forum/16022%20spinaker/bb-login.php

I don’t know how the hell that happened. I did get to login once and just browsed around. I don’t think I changed anything that should have made it add my address. Which I have no idea how that happened as I only entered my address when I first signed up for my hosting account.

I was just testing the install at this site,,, I am starting a wpMU/buddypress/bbpress site and I have a developer that is going to do the installs for me. When I asked about the bbpress install he said,,,,,

“If you don’t mind, please don’t install bbpress, as it’s a bit hard to configure properly; i had one install that required 1 full day of php-in to make the compatibility and integration, as the two versions were not fully compatible.”

He quoted me a price for the wpMU/buddypress install and I told him I was going to do the bbpress install myself,,,,,, because I had read in this forum and in other places that as soon as WP2.8 come out that the install/integration should be pretty seamless. Plus I had found simple scripts and thought,,, why should I pay him if I can auto-install and it go smooth,,, well as you see it did not.

I have seen several videos that show more than one way to do a manual install,, It seems the install goes easily for some and not for others.

SO should the install/integration go smooth now that I am running WP2.8?

AND does the integration plugin that I seen around here work well?

I know this info is around here somewhere to be found,,, if I dig again. I am just stressed from over a weeks research,, and suffering from information overload,,,can ya’ll help?

Any information would to help me get this installed would be great,, AND if anyone could explain to me how the heck it adds my address to the url,,, I would really appreciate that,,, cause either I am NUTZZZZZ,,, or my computer is possessed. LOL

Thanks ya’ll, damon

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

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.

Most 0.9 themes will work in 1.0 – they just may not have all the latest bells and whistles.

[Sam Bauers]

Hmmm, that’s lame. Looks like it isn’t the latest bbPress though.

[Sam Bauers]

I really must release the new version of the bbPress Integration plugin… I’ll do some testing against WPMU now.

[massbase]

@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: –

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

RC3 Compatible :-

how do i control what the avatar, usename and “member” title… all link too.

the post.php file uses these three respectively… but i cant control the url of these links… i need the gravatar to link to the members profile rather than the users website.

<?php post_author_avatar_link(); ?>

<?php post_author_link(); ?>

<?php post_author_title_link(); ?>

@arturo84

I think the localisation problem is fixed, I’d appreciate if you could test it out.

yeah sorry we’re all tired… however, I have a problem!

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?
