I’m about this close to making my new forums live. I’ve got WP 2.6 and bbPress alpha tied in together pretty well, but they recently announced the lockdown on 2.7, which means that may come out by years end.

Has anyone started testing with 2.7 yet? I’m not asking if I should not go forward and get my forums started, just wanted to know what kettle of worms I was opening

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

eagano – I tested, and it works fine on both subdomain and folders.

But musnake, can you link to the cookiehash fix? I’m 99% sure it’s not needed for your install, so that may be causing weirdness.

[eagano]

musnake –

I think this must be a big source of the problem for MU and getting it to work with bbPress. And why some get integration to work (standalone) and other can’t (wpmu).

In the WP standalone install, it does indeed appear to be there (is that where you got the code above?).

In WPMU 2.6.2 (https://mu.wordpress.org/latest.zip) wp-settings.php, line 317:

// Used to guarantee unique hash cookies

$cookiehash = '';

/**

* Used to guarantee unique hash cookies

* @since 1.5

*/

define('COOKIEHASH', '' );



$wpdb->hide_errors();

if( defined( 'MUPLUGINDIR' ) == false )

define( 'MUPLUGINDIR', 'wp-content/mu-plugins' );



if( is_dir( ABSPATH . MUPLUGINDIR ) ) {

if( $dh = opendir( ABSPATH . MUPLUGINDIR ) ) {

while( ( $plugin = readdir( $dh ) ) !== false ) {

if( substr( $plugin, -4 ) == '.php' ) {

include_once( ABSPATH . MUPLUGINDIR . '/' . $plugin );

}

}

}

}

Want to know the funny part? I actually debugged it instead of going to the source in WP standalone. At least I came to the same conclusion. This should probably be reported as an MU bug – I’ll let Donncha know.

Caught wearing my underwear on the outside. It doesn’t make me immune to cosmic cookie rays?

This was a cherry install so I didn’t have any experience with bbPress and its issues etc. The ‘add forum’ button issue existed before I added the quick fix…I found it on my first pass through the support forums trying to see how other WP2.6 success stories started out…

Did I mention that I have the bbPress files located in a subdomain called ‘forum’ i.e. mydomain.org/forum/ ?

I’ve just gone through the phpbbb vs SMF review again, just so I can get something going while these small things get cooked off, but I think I’ll stry bbPress as a stand-alone in its own db and integrate later…Do you see any drama with that path?

I just noticed that I didn’t add the SECRET_KEY value from wp-config.php (sic) to wp-settings.php as per a comment in that file…but it turns out that’s an artifact. Strike that.

These are some of the cookies that FireBug reports:

Hey,

Is it possible to load bbpress inside wordpress ?

I am using bbpress (latest from trunk) + wp2.6.2

I have designed a theme for wp2.6.2. And my wp2.6.2 has a lot of plugins. I wish to load bbpress into wordpress. Is it possible ?

[Micheal Benedict Arul]

I too am facing the same problem.

I am trying on a local server (apache) wp2.6.2+bbpress alpha releases and also the latest version from the trunk

I have tried on ,

mysql version 5.0.16-nt

mysql version is 5.0.67-community nt

I think it is a bug.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

but in reality, administrators should be deleting the whole topic, not the only post in that topic. When you delete the only post of a topic, what are you expecting to be left over?

Yes, it’s a case of user-error finding a bug that should be caught. The code should say ‘hey, this is the only post, he must mean delete topic’ and move on, or the ‘delete post’ option shouldn’t even be there if it’s the only post in a topic. You’re both right Code should know better, user should read more (and FWIW, I made the same error when I was testing bbpress).

[chrishajer]

In testing this, the host, Dreamhost, suggested turning off mod_security, which was done, but the errors persist.

One thing I cannot understand: when accessing this URL:

http://harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/topic.php?id=9&page=2

Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Sometimes it gives a 503 error, service not available. However, when that happens, the main site on the same server still loads fine:

http://harrismarine.co.nz/

Also, accessing this URL from another computer (at another location):

http://harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/topic.php?id=9&page=2

is possible. So, why would a 503 error be served to some clients and not others, at the same time?

[Bharat Karavadra]

Thanks Sam,

However, after many many hours trying to fix alpha relase issues, I felt that my time was better spent on developing thr Set Forever organisation and not just the site at http://www.setforver.org

I hope to install a 1.0 alpha 2 or future release fir testing and feedback in future.

Thank you all for your support anmd great work.

Hi,

Newbie setting up bbpress with integration to wordpress but coming across a problem.

Inatalled latest version of WordPress on Wednesday and BBpress yesterday but BBpress gives the following error when starting:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /websites/LinuxPackage03/xp/er/ie/xperiences.co.uk/public_html/xperiencesforum/bb-config.php on line 28

Line 28 of my bb-config.php file is:

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_xpe’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

My forum site is:

http://www.xperiences.co.uk/xperiencesforum/

Any help resolving this would be welcome.

Many thanks

Catequil

Testing this forum with a URL and a link for you to try posting in to see if you get the php error (use username: testing and password: testing)

Sweet, thanks.

[chrishajer]

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/ was for the older version of bbPress. Not sure how well it works with 0.9.0.2. If you browse the bbsync tag, you will see some discussion.

[epiphone]

To benefit fully from intergrating bbPress with my WordPress, I downgraded and went to WordPress 2.5.1 and bbPress 0.9.2. Now I know a plugin that allows you to display the last topics/discussion on your blog exists for bbPress 1.0, but I was wondering if something like this has been made for bbPress 0.9.2?

Thanks,

James

I am having problems with the phpbb2bbpress converter (http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/).

When I run the file I just get this message. There isnt a sql-file to download or a file created on my server.

1: I downloaded the file from: http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/

2: I edited the lines I have written in bold.

Code:

define(‘DB_PHPBB_USERNAME’, ‘[strong]databasename[/strong]’);
define(‘DB_PHPBB_PASSWORD’, ‘[b]databasepassword[/b]’);
define(‘DB_PHPBB_DATABASE’, ‘[b]databasename[/b]’);
define(‘DB_PHPBB_TABLEPREFIX’, ‘phpbb_’);

define(‘DB_BBPRESS_HOSTNAME’, ‘localhost’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_USERNAME’, ‘[b]databasename[/b]’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_PASSWORD’, ‘[b]databasepassword[/b]’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_DATABASE’, ‘[b]databasename[/b]’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_TABLEPREFIX’, ‘bb_’);

I only have one database on my server, so the databasename and password is the same on the phpbb and bbpress part

Code:

define(‘EXPORT_TO_FILE’, true); // Should the converted DB be exported to a file ?
define(‘FILENAME’, ‘/tmp/phpbb_imported.sql’); // Which one ? (Ensure this path is writeable by the server)
define(‘AUTO_IMPORT_EXPORTED_DATA’, false); // Should the script automagically import the converted DB ?

3: I created the folder tmp at the root and used chmod on it.

4: I uploaded the file to the root and tried to open it but I couldnt. So I removed the s in .phps and it worked. But i only got this message – but nothing really happened. I cant download a file, and there is nothing on my server. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry for the really late reply. Didn’t see my topic with a reply.

To bbPress’ credit I got that error and alot more when intergrating the wordpress database and theme intergration (But it is currently alpha) and I am looking forward to the stable release of 1.0 now that I’ve seen it and essentially test drived it.

If your still having problems I can only assume your also using the 1.0 alpha as well, in which case I’d suggest you consider downgrading to WordPress 2.5.1 and bbPress 0.9.2. I did a couple days ago and it is very stable, the intergration is perfect and I have no problems with permalinks etc.

[bryan868]

Is the phpBB 3.0 converter included in bbPress 1.0 alpha 2? Just curious, I’m interested in testing it out.

[agitainment]

Hi, there.

I have been getting sporadic errors with my RSS feeds using both my own theme and the default Kakumei theme on the latest installation of bbPress.

Sometimes when I hit the various RSS links, the following error comes up on a new page followed by a listing of the document tree:

“This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.”

Usually, when I hit the back button on my browser and try the feed button again, it works fine.

Any idea what’s going on here and how to fix it?

Thanks!

[brad_langdon]

And it is hard to test now as it works fine on my machine every time but not on some others…and then it will start working on those for no apparent reason.

I am wondering if upgrading to alpha will help…or maybe make it worse?

[chrishajer]

> changing the site now wouldn’t be a great look.

Yeah, but it’s broken now anyway, so what’s worse? If you don’t want to change it, I understand.

How about just creating a duplicate of it, duplicate the database, copy over all the files from bbPress, then change the domain name or something, or just access it by subdirectory, all on the same server. See if it’s still broken there. If it is, good, you have a good test environment. Now, try the stock theme, and try turning off plugins one by one (all twenty of them) and see when the problem goes away. You have far from a stock installation, so something in your forum or on your server has changed enough to create this problem.

[brad_langdon]

Thanks for the help.

I cant really switch the theme as my clients customers are using the site as we speak…changing the site now wouldn’t be a great look.

How do I access the error logs?

[chrishajer]

You didn’t mention what version you’re using.

But, in my old version and in the latest trunk, bb-admin/admin-functions.php contains “bb_user_row” which returns the date the member registered: you can see it in the admin screen for managing users. I imagine duplicating or using that function would get you the the date of registration.

And when viewing a member profile, the “Member Since” text appears there also, with a more nicely formatted date (no time.) If you look at how the date is displayed there I bet you could get it to display where you want.

[zigx]

anyone know if this plugin works with the latest bbpress? (0.9.0.2 )

I cant seem to get it to work.

Plugin is activated, but links do not have _blank added into the <a tag.

any ideas? thank you!!

[Sam Bauers]

I just retested on my local copy.

Neither editing my own or anyone else’s profile causes a problem. No matter who I am logged in as.

It has to be something local to your setup.

[Sam Bauers]

I just get 404 errors when I try to retrieve your feeds using curl.

I suspect it has something to do with a bad translation string. Try switching your forum to english to test if that fixes it, if so then it is a problem with the language file you are using.

It also may be a problem with the date or time format in your settings.
