In fact, I didn’t have a single plugin that was not working but for the WP shared logins of course. I didn’t have the chance to test every little setting of these but the basic functionality works.

Hi, I have installed wpmu2.7.1, BuddyPress 1.0 and bbpress “Brubeck” version 0.9.0.4.

I installed wpmu first all good

I installed buddy press all good

I installed bbpress all good

I added a few bbpress plugins for groups , comminuty blogs and another for fbconnect all good

Then i read about intergrating the logins and was linked to the screen cast step by step…even tho is said basic wp install i noticed the tag was MU so i continued.

I got to the bit where you generate the secret keys I did this grabbed the 4 keys pasted into wp-config, i left the salt and other keys in tact. Saved and uploaded the file.

Then the video said check you can login…i checked but i canont login to WPMU I get no error only a white screen, this is for admin and member logins.

Any idea what to do if the login test in the video fails?

There are no errors in the error log, there is no error on screen, only a white blank page.

I now cannot install the plugin mentioned above as i have no access to the dashboard.

How can i get the original auth/secret keys back?

Or how can i fix it, i don’t reallly want to start again as i have spent days on other tweaks and skinning and such that would be painful to lose.

I can still login to bbpress fine.

Thanks in advance for any pointers…

Try disabling all your plugins and see if it works?

If it does work with all plugins off, turn them on one at a time… and test the ratings/stars after each plugin is enabled. When it stops working, we’ll know we found the conflict!

The other possibility is that it’s a conflict with your CSS. If it doesn’t work even with all the plugins off, try activating Kakumei and seeing if adding stars to that works for you?

[TrishaM]

Hi John – thanks for the code. I copied it exactly & pasted it into my topic.php (except for the styles) but it still didn’t work for me, so I removed the requirement to log in to vote, with still no luck. Hovering changes the stars color, but clicking does nothing at all.

Do you think it’s likely that there’s a conflict with another plugin that might be causing it to not work? I’m using the following plugins (in addition to bbRatings):

Akismet

Bozo Users

BBCode lite

BBCode buttons toolbar

BBPress signatures

BBPress smilies

Topics Per Page

bbPress tweaks

Human test for bbPress

Moderator new post notification

The only one I think I could do without is the smilies, but I really want to keep the others more than the ratings if I can’t figure out how to get it working……P.S. Two days since I posted on mdawaffe’s blog and still no response…..I just get the impression that he doesn’t want to support this any more……

[mcmc]

I dunno if my post gets deleted, but I posted this twice already and can’t find it, so here another try.

I tried installing the latest version of the social network from buddypress two days ago, but I fear it isn’t working properly. Whenever I click on a link, be it a member, blog, post, groups, create groups, etc I get redirected back to my homepage where my blog is. Is there a plugin that I am missing or do I have to set up sth?

Thanks.

I’ve tried installing bbPress 0.9.0.4 twice now, and with the same results both times. It installs, runs, lets me into the ACP to change things, etc. I add nothing more than a topic and a post, and get this for every link I select;

Not Found

The requested URL /topic/welcome-to-the-forum was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

It’s all in the DB, so what’s happening? Any help appreciated before I go mad (have tried 5 BB packages in 3 weeks trying to meet my users requirements).

[edit]

Aha! Found a post elsewhere about changing Pretty Permalinks, and that was what wrecked it. Should perhaps have some sort of internal test when you click the dropdown list..?

[Elias]

Oh, I checked my webserver’s log and found that my rather obsolete German translation is still downloaded frequently. So I decided to rework it for the latest stable bbPress 0.9.0.4.

You can download my language file on my German blog.

And now for the folks that understand German better than English:

Oha, ich habe einen Blick in die Logdateien meines Webservers geworfen und musste dabei feststellen, dass meine ziemlich veraltete deutsche Übersetzung immer noch häufig heruntergeladen wird. Deshalb habe ich meine Übersetzung für die aktuelle stabile Version 0.9.0.4 von bbPress überarbeitet.

Wer mag, kann meine Sprachdatei in meinem kleinen Blog herunterladen…

When my users click the same link while signed out, they get sent to a similar link:

http://boards.weddingbee.com/bb-login.php?re=http%3A%2F%2Fboards.weddingbee.com%2F%3Fnew%3D1

So it looks like bbPress is sending users to the right place. So I played around with your URL a bit:

http://www.endsofearth.com/forum/bb-login.php?re=http://www.endsofearth.com/

That didn’t work either, so I stripped off the re= part completely:

http://www.endsofearth.com/forum/bb-login.php

That worked… suggesting that the problem is with the re= part and your htaccess file.

Just when I was feeling clever, I did a quick Google search and ck had already figured it all out:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/latest-discussions-add-new-link-problem-if-not-logged

Maybe try disabling MultiViews or checking your htaccess file?

[Erunafailaro]

Same problem here. There are no mismatches between my manually set cookie paths. However, is there a list of all cookie paths that could be set?

All I did was upgrading to RC1. Before that, with the latest alpha-release, this problem did not occur.

I am using WP 2.7.1 (not WPMU).

[_ck_]

Here is an untested variation of Mark’s WP plugin for bbPress, it’s a little more sophisticated in that it tries to return the person back to the topic they were in if it exists or if they were starting a topic, to the forum they were posting in.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Moderation Notification

Author: _ck_

*/



add_action( 'bb_post.php', 'moderation_notification', 999);

add_action( 'bb_head', 'moderation_notification_alert', 999);



function moderation_notification($post_id) {

if (empty($post_id)) {return;}	 //   invalid post

$post = bb_get_post($post_id);

if ($post->post_status==0) {return;} 	//  not moderated



if ($post->post_position>1) {

$link = get_topic_last_post_link($post->topic_id);	// return them to the last known good post in the topic

} else {

$link = get_forum_link($post->forum_id);		// return them to the forum that they posted in since there's no valid topic yet

}



$link=add_query_arg('moderated','true',$link); 		// set the flag



wp_redirect($link);

exit;

}



function moderation_notification_alert() {

if (!isset($_GET['moderated'])) {return;}

$out = <<<EOF

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

alert ("You post was successfully processed, \n\n however it was placed on hold and will appear once a moderator verifies that it is not spam.\n\n Please be patient and do not resubmit your comment.");

//-->

</script>

EOF;

echo $out;

}



?>

You can see the notice by putting ?moderated=true on one of your urls

I don’t recommend trying to purposely cause spam to test it because akismet might flag you globally as a spammer and you’ll end up being bozo’ed across multiple forums/blogs.

Everything matches, everything is UTF8 (since I am running a Russian site). All headers and meta show utf8. The DB is all UTF8…

Could you tell me what function reads users from WP db? I would follow from there.

Example: http://www.ourtx.com/ourtx/forum/topic/43

DB is WP 2.7.1 all UTF8_general_ci where it concerns text fields

Plus, I have a chron job that gets latest posts and prints them on the left side of the website, it gets that user name in Cyrillic just fine.

[Clicknathan]

Today I installed the bbPress Attachments plugin, which seems to work well.

But then I tried to delete a topic, got a PHP header already sent error, and when I returned to the Front Page, in the Forums and Latest Discussions tables I no longer have the Topics & Posts counts in the Forums table, nor do I have the Posts, Last Poster and Freshness columns in the Latest Discussions.

I’m running .9.0.3.

Anyone have any ideas what might have happened and/or how I could resolve this?

[Ivaylo Draganov]

a wiki-plugin already exists:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wiki-post/

a revision tracking plugin also:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/edit-history/

But it seems like it does much more than we basically desire.

I just tested the Edit History plugin and it does indeed track all that data – last edit, last editor and number of edits. But it does not output the message in the normal topic view. Instead it uses a separate page with all the revisions of a post. And that page is not visible to everyone.

I guess it is not hard to add that feature to the plugin. Wish I had the programming skills to do it!

[bisonback]

Installation seemed to go perfectly. The forum was completely operable and Test Users registering through bbpress were created on the WP side. Unfortunately, I received errors trying to log into WP backend. Calling “myurl.com/wp-admin” resulted in a blank page with:

“Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/user/public_html/sitefolder/wp-config.php:80) in /home/user/public_html/sitefolder/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850”

In order to finally get back into my admin panel

I deleted all BB_tables from db – didn’t work.

Deleted all bbpress files – didn’t work.

Refreshed wp-includes folder and root wp files – worked.

Now I’m back to a WP site with no forum tables or software and will try again after work.

Any ideas what’s going on here?

[Sam Bauers]

For anyone having problems with WPMU integration with bbPress, make sure you have the latest (1.0-alpha-6) version of the bbPress Integration plugin.

This newer version of the plugin is compatible with bbPress 1.0-rc-1 and should give you better advice about what to manually insert into your WPMU wp-config.php

[doublebuser]

One of the users has set in WP a nickname in Cyrillic (which reads in place of the username in latin). In WP it shows up fine, however, when that user info read by BB it is displayed as ??????????. My guess is that it read from db utf8 but then it goes through single byte string function that kinda kills it. Any other parts of the posts, topics, body and such are read and displayed fine in Cyrillic. Thus it is my understanding that the user name gets de-utf8 somewhere in the process of maybe checking for its validity or something else.

The $collation_query is “SET NAMES ‘utf8’ COLLATE ‘utf8_general_ci'” in class.bpdb.php

Any idea where to start looking? I have what was the latest alpha.

What function reads users from WP db?

[Sam Bauers]

Try the latest 1.0 release (1.0-rc-1). There was a bug in the way orphaned users got their roles applied. If you upgrade, then re-save the role map in the admin, it might fix your problems.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Cool. Upgrade went easy. Shared login with WP 2.7.1 works. Now to test…

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’m using Allow Images on 1.0a6(trunk from last month) and it seems to still be working. But I’m not using the bbCode plugin so people just put in <img src="http://mylink.com/image.jpg" />

I just tested now and it’s working okay.

[chrishajer]

That might be an interesting discussion, but for another forum. We’re not going to change that here. Maybe try the wp-hackers maling list?

Or, there is some pretty good info here on why NOT to do it:

http://us3.php.net/function.mysql-pconnect

[doublebuser]

Thanks, why in BB and WP no one is using _pconnection ? Would it not be better than _connection?

[chrishajer]

I don’t have the latest beta installed, but I do have an Alpha 2 installation and the database connection is here:

./bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php:123:

$this->dbh = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password, true);

[doublebuser]

Trying to locate the file that has the routine that does msql_connect or _pconnect…
