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

Sweet, thanks.

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?

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.

Plugins I am using are…

Allow Images 0.7.1

Terms of Service 0.0.3

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.

[patung]

“It’s in the readme.txt file too….”

What is in there is this:

* bbpress_live_get_forums() – Provides an array of forums

* bbpress_live_get_topics() – Provides an array of the latest topics

But I mean what do I actually put in the theme template file, like sidebar.php. I mean bbpress_live_get_forums() has to be wrapped in some kind of php doesn’t it?

[threevisual]

thanks, I download the latest zip file from the link provided but I’m now getting the following error:

Warning: bb_install(/home/wired/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php) [function.bb-install]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/wired/public_html/bbpress/bb-admin/class-install.php on line 106



Fatal error: bb_install() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/wired/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php' (include_path='.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php') in /home/wired/public_html/bbpress/bb-admin/class-install.php on line 106

[Bharat Karavadra]

Yes it does – I installed aplha 2 in about 10 minutes and the login works. I need to test the registration but I’m sure that this will be OK.

You add all your wordpress settings when you install alpha 2 (it’s all form based).

[doyle640]

Does the wordpress integration work with the latest version of wordpress now?

[threevisual]

Hey, I thought I’d try out the latest 1.0 alpha release (2) but when I go to install I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bb_glob() in /home/wired/public_html/forums/bb-admin/class-install.php on line 322

Any idea how to fix this? One for the bugs list?

[Sam Bauers]

Thanks!

BTW, you’ll be happy to know there are three different ways to tun off XML-RPC:

* In settings

* Forcibly, via a plugin

* Just plain delete the file (xmlrpc.php)

But I’d like to think that you could help us to keep it secure instead : )

On a related note, thanks to everyone who has helped out with testing so far. Apparently the first alpha was downloaded over 2,500 times, thanks to all those who took time to report bugs and suggest improvements over that time.

I’m looking forward to further input and feedback as we approach 1.0 beta and beyond.

[geltoorch]

thanks everyone, ill try it out

[chrishajer]

Looks like the whole server is gone now… Can’t bring it up at all.

The blank screen is likely a 500 Internal Server Error, so if you have access to error logs, that will help. If not, it’s likely a syntax problem in a template file. I saw at first that you had a custom theme up there. You could try with a stock theme and see if the problem persists.

One other thing I noticed is that the URL appeared incorrect. It looked like this:

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

But the topic ID is missing in that URL. It should look more like this:

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

Maybe the pagination links in your theme got messed up somehow. I wasn’t able to test any further because I can’t bring up any pages at all on your forum right now.

[nekita]

I’m just loading certain components from my WP Blog to give bbPress the same appearance (header and footer graphics, menu etc.). However it’s not a deep integration via bb-config.php.

I also deleted the entire modified template folder and replaced it with the original Kakumei template for testing reasons but the problem persisted.
