Hey guys,

I’ve been trying to fix this for 3 days now… however I am sure it is no longer a configuration issue as I went up and down with it for the past 6 hours. I’ve just deleted and installed the latest WordPress MU and started fresh, but before I started integrating I wanted to make sure the cookies were working as intended.

When I check the cookies using Firefox’s Privacy option and my own Web Designer Plugin and viewing the cookies… I notice that all of them have a blank hash at the end…

so for example, where others mentioned it should appear as

wordpress_logged_in_(hash)

mine appears as

wordpress_logged_in_

Why is this happening on a brand new installation? I also deleted the pre-existing Hash keys and let wordpress generate it’s own and put that in the config, and still the same…

I know this ain’t the forums for it, but im sure someone has come across this.

chrishajer, are you aware of the code in bbPress which takes the _wp table(required upon WordPress and bbPress integration) and somehow uses it in integration? If so, that might be a solution.

I found a a program which takes two MySql tables and makes a table consisting of those two tables contents. Here it’s description:

MySQL Join Two Tables Software 7.0 – Download

Combine (horizontally) two MySQL tables into one based on a common column of data from each table. The original two tables are not altered but a new table is created with the results.

Download here. Secure-order personal license for product here.

I don’t think this will work however because of the multiple references to wp_users, and bb_users.

I just thought of something, would it work if I changed apltest’s users table to be called wp_users(or bb_users)(along with changes all references to the users table in the APL code to wp_users)?

Thanks for your input.

Here are two links to the whole apltest database(2.jpg starts off down the table list where 1.jpg left off):

[mikeumus]

And how would you get that relationship?

More direction please.

I’m trying to link my wonderful WordPress blog and bbPress Forum(live @ http://www.l4dt.com/) with some wonderful tournament management code(testing, but live @ http://www.a-mnow.com) and have already quite shyed away and scared myself at the thought of trying to connect any two databases, so direction at all would be great.

Here’s what the tournament management _config.php file consists of:

_config.php

_______________________________________________________________________________________

<?php

//This is the new config file, almost all settings have been moved to the database.

//You no longer need to edit this file,

//unless the installer is not able to edit this file because of permissions.

//Just run the installer at /install/install.php

//Database server connection settings

$database = ‘mysql’;

$database = ‘apltest’;

$database = ‘?????????????????’;

$database = ‘apltest’;

$database = ‘p50mysql71.secureserver.net’;

//Do not change strict_mode, unless you know what you are doing

$database = -1;

?>

_______________________________________________________________________________________

^ There is no table specification!? wtf, but that’s not how you link databases, by giving them the same table prefix, right? But does it have to do with the table(s)?(I’d think so, but that’s all I can fathom)

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Here is the link to the site which gave me the tournament management code, “Autonomous LAN Party”:

http://www.nerdclub.net/alp/

Any hint at making that relationship would be most excellent.

Thank you for your time and input.

I would like to download Alpha 5 instead of 6, since various cK plugins seem to work on the older version. Where can I download it? “Latest alpha” currently downloads Alpha 6.

[bludshot]

I am the keymaster for my bbpress forum, and I want to change my email address, but it won’t let me.

When I am logged in as the keymaster, in the front end, when I go to “View your profile!”, the edit link is “http://blueleafcanada.ca/forums/profile//edit&#8221; and if you click on that you get the error “User not found.”

Also, if I go to the admin area and click on Users, and then click Edit for the keymaster there, it also says User not found. (And the link there is http://blueleafcanada.ca/forums/profile//edit too)

For a normal user test account I made, the link is “http://blueleafcanada.ca/forums/profile/test/edit&#8221; and when you click it it lets you edit the profile.

Even if I type in the URL manually, filling in the keymaster’s username instead of test, it still says user not found.

Is this normal?

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-thumbnails-on-bbpress-integration

That appeared 5 times in the latest discussions. Each topic has the same slug. I deleted one of them, and was going to do the others which were duplicates, but now I get a 404 error for each one.

This has happened a couple times in the past. Normally I think Sam just comes by and fixes it. But why is it happening?

[Zanti]

Background:

First Post here. Looking for much needed help and assistance.

Latest version of RapidWeaver and WP2.7x, haven’t downloaded BBP yet. Experience, beginner.

WP sits in my blog domain, nothing has been done to it at all since downloading.

Working on 4 sites, we’ll call them sites A, B, C and D. Have not uploaded any of the sites to my server yet so none are live. Sites B and C have the same RW theme. Site A is 80% complete with a RW theme, B and C are only 5% done, but could be finished this weekend. Site D holds the WP blog with no RW theme, just the base WP theme at this time.

What I want to accomplish:

Central Blog and Forum that sites A, B and C are all linked to.

What I think I would like:

Forum based in site B, with the RW theme, Blog based in site D (only because site D, has the domain name of my blog)(it would be great if I could have the same theme for the Blog and Forum). Integration of the Forum and Blog. All sites linked to the Forum and Blog.

Questions:

How to best accomplish this. Should Blog and Forum reside on same Site (like site D)., and A, B and C link to it via an offsite page? Or is there a better way to do this. Where should I download BBPress to, site A, B, C or D?

I’m very open to any thoughts and ideas. I’m kind of at a standstill right now, as I want to make sure I start off doing the right things and having WP and BBP loaded to the right places. And I’m anxious to get started.

I hope I have explained this in a clear way and it’s not to confusing. I would like to download BBP and get started on this project this weekend. If we forget about the RapidWeaver part of this. The real question would be, if I want 3 sites to be able to access and be linked to both bbPress and WP, what is the best way to do this.

I’m also a little confused about integration with WP 2.7x and bbPress. Is there some problems with doing this at this time. I’m really closed to having my sites up and running, but I’m at a standstill right now. I just want to make sure I do things the right way, the first time.

Please offer any advice you think might be helpful. If I need to explain this better, let me know. I’m really hyped on using bbPress, and WP, just want all three sites to be able to function with them equally. If nothing else, can anyone offer, what I need to do next.

Thank you all for your time and assistance on something that is very important to me.

I’m having the same problem with a new 0.9.0.4 installation. In addition, I have an error message in my Latest Activity box on the Dashboard:

bbPress database error: [Unknown column 't.topic_id' in 'on clause']

SELECT p.* FROM bb_posts AS p JOIN bb_topics as t ON ( t.topic_id = p.topic_id ) WHERE p.post_status != '0' AND t.topic_status = '0' ORDER BY p.post_time DESC LIMIT 5

[MrPeteH]

I’m a not-quite-noob on WP/WPmu, and a total noob here on bbPress. I’m attempting my first integrated install, from scratch. WPmu latest (2.7 trunk as of a couple weeks ago) and bb 1.0 alpha 6. I thought I’d share a new-user experience… knowing that this kind of stuff is hard to remember later.

I’m wanting integration of users and logins, and went through the install with that in mind.

Anomalies, strangeness and bugs found:

1) It asks for both the site URL and blog URL. WPmu doesn’t have both items, so that’s confusing. Should mention that the same value can be copied in.

2) It doesn’t suggest the URL needs “http://&#8221; attached until after you save settings and get an error.

3) [suggestion] why not ask for the location of the WP/WPmu install, and pull the keys etc from wp-config.php??? That would save a ton of typing and confusion.

4) Once I got everything entered, it let me login ok… HOWEVER:

5) It quickly LOST all my settings and the database appeared broken. Here’s how:

* I clicked on “Admin” to go to the admin panel

* Went to Settings->WordPress Integration

* Set up role mappings and saved

* Either at that point, or with one more click (Save in User Integration), I was suddenly locked out and getting mysql connect errors in the header.

* Examining the page I was on showed the “advanced database settings” had defaulted to different info: apparently it used my admin login (user admin) rather than the WP db user/pass I had provided.

* It was impossible to reset this info on that page due to the DB connect error. [suggestion: maintain ‘admin’ login/pw in a bb_* table for emergency admin use of the WP connection breaks!]

* Confusingly, the DB info in bb-config.php is correct and I could not find the (wrong) wp DB info in any text file. Presumably it is stored in the bb-* database?!

My workaround, which is now in use: hand code the settings ($bb->user_bbdb_user etc) into bb-config.php. That works.

Bottom line: either the integrated installation process, or perhaps the settings->Integration page, is busted.

Hope that helps!

[PS: I’m the author of the wptuner performance analysis/debugging plugin for WP/WPmu. Would a BB version be helpful?]

The spammers figured out how to defeat the old Human Test so I updated it:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/

and I will be updating it again later this month to make it even harder

[Sam Bauers]

The best way to combat this is at the network or firewall level. You could also try the “human test” plugin by _ck_ which may discourage them for a while.

[wiseacre]

I have tested with Alfa 2+. There was some changes in DB structure. bb_meta is one of them. It’s time for ( )

NOTE 2: this script is compatible with trunk

If your database size is not a big problem you can wait for next bbpress version.

[pierig]

Never mind!

I use version 0.9.0.4

Thanks for the note, everybody should do anyway a backup before testing a script out of the web.

Happy monday

ps. sorry for my bad english, it’s monday morning..

There was a similar bug report posted – the earlier response might be helpful… or maybe the original poster might let you know if they ever found a solution?

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

This might also do the trick (although it’s a bit kludgy):

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/strange-404-report-i-firebug#post-9540

There’s a plugin that allows anonymous posting, but all users are marked as with “anonymous”:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-anonymous-posting/

_ck_ wrote a cool plugin that lets you “add additional fields to posts like Name/Email/Website for anonymous users via Post Meta plugin”: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-meta/

I don’t know how thoroughly it’s been tested, but if you are willing to run alpha software – it might be worth a shot!

[emailjohndavid]

When entered into a main theme under forums, a bunch of topics falling under the selected theme are listed automatically sorted by freshness. Is there a way to make this sort by original posting orders? Since latest discussion board displays by freshness, it would be nice (in my forum) to display by original posting orders.

[bobbyh]

Many sites are using bbPress for production sites with hundreds of thousands of topics and posts. You can go ahead and use the latest version in the 0.9 branch, I wouldn’t get too hung up on “waiting for 1.0 getting out of beta”.

I tried to write a response to your snarky comment, but I couldn’t think of a non-snarky response. Anyway, if you aren’t so snarky when you post, people will try to be more helpful to you.

I have no way to test this code right now

but try putting into a file called https-mode.php

and put it into your my-plugins directory

(you might have to create the directory)

and then activate it in your control panel.

In theory it should make bbpress internal urls HTTPS when it detects you are trying to use HTTPS:// (SSL) mode, even though your main bbpress url is HTTP://

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: HTTPS mode

Description: forces internal bbPress URLs from HTTP to HTTPS only when using SSL

*/



add_filter( 'bb_get_uri', 'https_mode',1,3);

add_filter( 'bb_get_option_uri','https_mode',1);



function https_mode($uri,$resource='',$context='') {

if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && strpos($uri,'http://')===0) {$uri=str_replace('http://','https://',$uri);}

return $uri;

}



?>

[wiseacre]

Sorry about delay, guys.

@pierig – What about your bbpress version?

NOTE: Please have in mind this script is tested with not respect any plugins.

[pierig]

Bump it.. I would really appreciate if somebody can show me how to delete permanently deleted posts..

Or how are you doing the tests. I have a test user, login with it and make test posts..

Thx

Hi !

I’m using wpmu 2.7+buddypress+bbpress trunk

and cannot translate bbpress. Only the admin side is half translated and nothing on the user side except one or two buttons (ie in login)

mo file is absolutely not working yet !

And i had same troubles with past wpmu 2.6.5…

i tried many things found here on the forum. Latest test was to retrieve BB-LANG settings in function.bb-i10n.php, disabling mo file in my-languages folder. Nothing, no error nor translation !

Does anybody has the same configuration as i, with a foreign language working ?

So please tel how you make this work !

Thanks

[Radium]

Yeah, sorry for not updating on this. Since the forums are completely empty anyway I plan to move into bbpress as soon as 1.0 RC1 is released. My goal was to integrate the forums and the blog, but at the time I originally created the forums it was not possible without heavy modification which proved too time consuming. I have moved my testing of BBpress and wordpress integration to http://www.ridelegend.com/community/ however

[msmeritt]

Thanks for all the feedback. It wasn’t clear to me just what was the latest version of WP that would work properly with bb 0.9.0.4. Now I’m clear that I’m past that point.

I have plans to eventually have certain forum members do blogging at the main site. That is down the road, though, so technically I don’t need the integration right at this moment. But that integration would be useful at that point, and I thought I’d just set it up now.

But it sounds like maybe what I ought to do is remove the integration for now, let the forum exist on its own, and then integrate later once there is a stable version of bbPress that can integrate with WP 2.6.3 or later.

Any particular advice about undoing the integration stuff I already did?

[chrishajer]

The latest stable version of bbPress that integrates with WordPress is 0.9.0.4. That works with WordPress 2.5.x which is fairly old and you’re already past.

I don’t think there is a current stable version of bbPress that integrates with anything current from WordPress. WordPress is moving faster than bbPress right now.

What do you need out of integration that makes it important to integrate bbPress with WordPress? I’m asking honestly because I don’t understand why people do it. Thanks.
