I have found a developer that can do this for us at a reasonable price.

It will be done as a plugin with no changes to core files. Will include double password entry for vertification, captcha resolution and outbound welcome email containing username and user selected password.

Please contact me admin (at) glamrock.com and we can get it figured out. It could potentially be tested and road ready in a couple of days.

I have to leave for the rest of the day but essentially if you are able to add the rest of the rules without an error 500, then go back into bb-config.php and put back the line for slugs.

Then the forum should start using slugs.

To finish up after it’s all working, go find those three extra rewriterule lines I posted much earlier and add those to the list and then you should be 100% done.

After those extra three lines are in, remember to test the front-page pagination which is what started this entire exercise in the first place, and hopefully they will be error free.

[_ck_]

do something like this in your topic.php template just before <?php endforeach; ?>

<?php if (!isset($adsense)) { $adsense=1; ?>

<li>

adsense javascript goes here

</li>

<?php } ?>

(untested)

Actually, I think you want to try disabling MultiViews

Options -MultiViews

Note the minus instead of the plus.

If that doesnt’ work, what happens when you try to go directly to

http://www.domain.com/forum/?new=1

when NOT logged in? 404 ?

Hi,

bbpres 0.9.0.2

Im exhausted looking for a solution so i post, after a clean install in hostgator, when I click on Latest Discussions ADD NEW link, while not logged, I get a link similar as:

http://www.domain.com/forum/bb-login.php?re=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.com%2Fforum%2F%3Fnew%3D1

and after clicking on it: I got a WordPress 404 not found page.

I have tried adding and .htaccess in my bbpress directory with Options +MultiViews

I have turned off-on pretty permalinks,

I have installed a wordpress 404 fixer plugin,

But nothing works,

Only if is logged a user the ADD NEW link works.

Please helpme I am on a deadline weekend.

best regards

monica

I just moved WordPress and bbPress to a new host. Everything is working fine with both apps except I can no longer log into bbPress with my WP account and the posts using the BBpress Latest Discussions plugin are no longer displaying.

The bb-config.php file is configured correctly because the forum posts are displaying. Is there an .htaccess file elsewhere than the root that’s missing? Is it a permission issue?

Any clue what I’m missing?

Thanks,

Gio

[jabberwock]

In forum.php and front-page.php, the latest poster for each topic is identified. Is it possible to also identify the first poster– ie the person who started the thread and perhaps also when the thread was started? After sifting through code for several hours, I’m not sure if I’m overlooking something, or if I simply cannot find something that is not there. Thanks.

[epiphone]

How come the sticky text is not showing on the latest discussions bit on the frontpage though?

[epiphone]

Hi there,

My bbPress forum (0.9.2) has been theme and databased intergrated, I’ve just decided to test sticky topics, and this occurs on a sticky topic:

http://www.james-blogs.com/forum/topic.php?id=3

What is this [sticky] code doing, Is this meant to be how a sticky topic is identified to someone or is broken bbcode?

Regards,

James

update: I’ve now included this functionality in the topics-per-page plugin so use that instead which is maintained and not this mini-plugin which will not work properly with 1.0a

Here’s something I had made a mental note of quite awhile ago but forgot to do, add pagination to the front-page for the latest discussions. You can see a demo near the bottom of http://bbshowcase.org/forums/

(the following two functions are included in the 0.0.4 version of topics-page-page plugin, so don’t use them if you have that)

add_filter('get_latest_topics_limit','front_page_pagination',999);

function front_page_pagination($limit="") {

global $page;

if (is_front() && $page>1) {$limit.=" OFFSET ".($page-1)*bb_get_option('page_topics');}

return $limit;

}

function front_page_pages() {

global $page, $bbdb;

echo get_page_number_links( $page, $bbdb->get_var("SELECT SUM(topics) FROM $bbdb->forums"));

}

1. add to your front-page.php template

<div class="nav"><?php front_page_pages(); ?></div>

AFTER

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

</table>

2. If you use rewrite slugs you MUST add the following rule to your .htaccess file

RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/?page=$1 [L,QSA]

anywhere before </IfModule>

where /forums/ is the path to your bbpress install.

Those plugins come default for 1.0alpha2 under the plugins tab, you have to turn them on. I suspect it’s POSSIBLE if you downloaded the alpha version, they might work in a non-alpha install, but it’s untested.

But really, if you’re just moving your domain, you can pretty much do what you’d do for WordPress or any other PHP/SQL driven site. You have two basic options.

1. Download a copy of the main bbpress files from your OLD server to your hard drive and edit wp-config.php to suit the new server.
2. Go back to your OLD forum and go to options and change the url (both of them) to that of your new site.
3. Download your database (but keep the old one just in case), upload this new database and the copy of the wordpress core files with the edited bb-config.php to your NEW server.

Or…

1. Install a new forum on the new server.
2. Export the forum content from the OLD server into a BBXF file
3. Import the data into the new forum.

Hey, there.

Well I finally got around to validating my feeds. They do in fact validate, but I’m still getting the document tree intermittently on Firefox 3.0.3 for Mac OSX. I don’t seem to be having a similar problem on Safari (though I haven’t tested it as extensively). Here’s the output for the feed at http://agitainment.com/ics/forum/rss.php?forum=3:

As I mentioned before, if I page back on the browser and hit the feed again, it usually works.

Is it possible this is a Firefox issue?

Any ideas?

[globetrotterdk]

Help, please. A very basic question, maybe a sticky would be a good idea? I have successfully installed and integrated the latest alpha version (as of today) with WordPress 2.6.3, (congratulations to the team) but I can’t figure out how to get into the administration area.

[globetrotterdk]

Hi,

I am in the middle of the install of bbPress (latest alpha as of today) and I get asked for the user database table prefix. Looking at my wp-config.php file, all I see is the following:

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

Does that mean that I don’t have a WP user database table? What do I need to do? This is my first site and I don’t have any users yet except myself as admin – translation: I am an extreme newbie and just want to get the rest of this install finished.

I am using WordPress 2.6.3

Cheers

[_ck_]

Anyone willing to give an early version a test for compatibility?

There is no account creation feature yet but you can attach OpenID identities to any existing account, and then login with the OpenID instead of your regular bbPress login (the regular login remains intact).

[xeroxss]

I’m using wordpress 2.6.3 and just upgraded my forum to 1.0-alpha-2 integration works perfectly by following the docs to the letter. The first time I upgraded I didn’t manage to make the integration work the main reason probably is because I just copied the bb-config.php from my old installation. This time I deleted it and do the install again, I put all my database information and just follow the prompts it will detect that bbpress is installed then proceed with the database upgrade. Just make sure that settings for your bb-config.php and wp-config.php are the same for AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY’ under the bbpress integration menu in the admin panel also make sure that the “auth” = “auth_salt”, “secure auth”=”secure_auth_salt”, and “logged in” =”logged_in_salt” in WordPress /wp-admin/options.php are the same.

The only issue I found is that when i logged out in either bbpress or WordPress i’m still logged in on the other. Probably a cookie issue i’m not sure though, so I have to logged out manually from both.

–Update: After additional testing I found out that when I logged in using WordPress I can only logged out completely using WordPress logged out meaning I am logged out both from bbpress and WordPress. Same with bbpress if I logged in using bbpress I can logged out completely by using bbpress logged out. If I use WordPress login I cannot logged out from bbpress by using bbpress logged out but can completely logged out if I use wordpress logged out. If I logged in using bpress, I can logged out in WordPress by using WordPress logged out but I’m stil logged in in bbpress so if I want to logged out completely I have to use bbpress to logged out completely.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Viewing source was the first thing I tried. Old habits die hard But really, there was nothing.

I did not check the error logs, so I did that right now.

On Server:

Make sure error-log is set to verbose for now.

On bbPress:

Enable XML-RPC – YES

On WordPress:

Install plugin – Done

Activate Plugin – Done (no errors)

Configure Plugin –

URL (http://jorjafox.net/forums/)

ID/Password (Ipstenu / 555Nope!)

Caching Enabled - NO

Enable forums widget - YES

Enable Topics widget - YES

Copy new WordPress posts to bbPress (not implemented)

Then I went into widgets and picked ‘bbPress latest topics’, put it at the bottom of my sidebar. I gave it the title of ‘Latest Topics’ and saved my changes.

The header shows up on the bottom of the side bar, no content.

Error log is empty. Frustration resumed

By the way, if the standalone function is called to be echoed like print_r($myarray);, shouldn’t that output something?

[_ck_]

I just wanted to announce I have a primitive prototype of OpenID working with bbPress and should have a more stable version for experimental testing within a few days (likely by the end of the weekend). The only requirement is your PHP needs CURL with https (ssl) support, which many servers have or can easily add ie. via cpanel’s rebuild PHP (check your PHPINFO to be certain).

I finally got an old openid 1.1 framework working with openid 2.0 so this makes it possible to use it with all the newest providers: aol, yahoo, microsoft and now even Google (as a “consumer”, not as a server).

The biggest problem was making it work without extra libraries like the complex math support and even DOMXML which is not available on many shared hosting PHP4 servers. But found a way around that too I’ll eventually add fsockopen support with ssl so even CURL is not a requirement.

ps. OpenID on WordPress.com needs to be fixed to offer a secure login when a cookie is not present like every other provider. This is annoying

[Deadpan110]

Im not sure if I have set my bbPress 1.0.alpha2 to work with WordPress MU 2.6.3 correctly, but its working.

http://domain.com = my WordPress MU

http://forums.domain.com = bbPress sub domain

As you can probably see, there are things within the config files that might not be needed.

WordPress/wp-config.php

define('AUTH_KEY', 'authkey');

define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'secureauthkey');

define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'secureauthsalt');

define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'loggedinkey');

define('SECRET_KEY', 'secretkey');

define('SECRET_SALT', 'secretsalt');

define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'loggedinsalt');

I copied and pasted the existing lines straight into bb-config.php replacing what was already there and then added the BB_ to each.

bbPress/bb-config.php

define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'authkey');

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'secureauthkey');

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'secureauthsalt');

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'loggedinkey');

define('BB_SECRET_KEY', 'secretkey');

define('BB_SECRET_SALT', 'secretsalt');

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'loggedinsalt');

In BOTH bb-config.php AND wp-config I added:

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.com'); // remember the '.' prefix

define('COOKIEPATH', ''); // this is empty

Then I visited http://forums.domain.com/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php (Settings > WordPress Integration) and scrolled down to ‘Manual bbPress config file settings’ and copied all the text below ‘WordPress cookie integration speedup’ and pasted into bbPress/bb-config.php.

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

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

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

$bb->cookiepath = '';

$bb->authcookie = 'wordpress_LEFT_THIS_ALONE';

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = 'wordpress_sec_LEFT_THIS_ALONE';

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_'; // DELETE the hash part

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

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

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

$bb->sitecookiepath = '';

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

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

Oh, and I added the$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; too.

NOTE

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_';

The hash was removed and the line reads EXACTLY as above.

To test, just make sure you are logged out of both and then log in and visit your other site.

Final Note, as stated above – there is probably a lot of unneeded clutter in the bb-press config, but all works for me – no matter which domain I log into!

I hope this helps someone

Awesome to see bbPress Live in use.

The post to a forum stuff is coming really soon. It may require you to update bbPress to the latest Trunk though…

Thanks for the test.

Upgraded to Alpha and found out it was a plugin-error.

[WebDev WaxLotus LLC]

So I was thinking about this in the shower, if I can get bbPress to set a cookie for / instead of /forum I think my woes would be over (See Step 2 above…)

Now, before looking into it further, I don’t think this is how it works. If the script calling for a cookie to be set is in folder ‘/forum/’ then the domain scope for that cookie is going to be set to ‘/forum/’ by the webserver.

But to test the obvious, I rushed to bb-config and tried variations on

// Cookie Scope

$bb->cookiedomain = '';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

No joy.

Maybe if I had the wp-login code on the forum site…with bb-admin cookies… let me try some things…

The ‘/’ cookie to rule them all is the way to go. If I can just get it to work…

[Vietson]

Its my first time using bbPress and first time theming it. I must say, the easiest forum to theme I’ve ever come across.

I mimic WordPress (.com and .org) forums layout structure and color palette. Still working to iron out some css issue.

I wanted to update jquery to the current latest but it broke a few things. So I’m currently writing a plug-in that will hopefully update the jQuery and fixes the few broken items.

I did use web developer tool. The buffalo’s outer box is div class=”threadpost”. Then the next box which the picture sits in is div class=”post”. For the text only post, the outer box sits outside of the threadpost, inside the thread li.

I would be willing to email the link to the moderators or to yourself. But I’m not willing to post the link here for the test site.
