You are the only one who can resolve this, unless you have local help or remote help you trust to look at the connection details provided by your host, and you config, to find the problem.

If there’s a failure to connect, maybe the host setting is incorrect? What are the settings in your WordPress config? If you’re using the same database, then the settings here will be the same, other than the table prefix, which comes later. That should be unique inside your database.

[farleys-bow-tie]

I created a database with full privileges and a user on the host and then entered it into the script. I received a message saying there was a failure to connect to the database.

The user name and password fields were populated with the admin login and pass from my WordPress installation. I used that login and name to create a user for the database, and then I re-ran the script with the default entries. Still can’t connect.

Any help would be appreciated.

There have been so many new features added in the past few weeks in the trunk that there’s no way it’s ever going to be stable this month (October).

Even if they release another alpha (or beta but that would be crazy), that doesn’t mean it’s stable, it means it needs to be tested and debugged, thoroughly. Sam only has a limited environment to test things. Problems with PHP4 or Windows come up constantly and other things he can’t easily test. There’s also a good chance plugins will become broken (again/still).

Do NOT use the alpha on a live, active site. Period. Seriously. Not kidding. It’s not a trick. Alphas are for testing purposes only. Objects may be closer than they appear.

If you ignore this warning, you are on your own.

[chrishajer]

That’s a really good point. I’ve been using subversion so long I forgot they packaged up the alpha release and released it on the download page. In that case, I have no idea how to tell the revision, other than going through files and comparing them the specific revisions in the repository.

For this specific problem, though, you need r1649 which includes the change that Sam says fixed this problem. The bb-admin/admin-functions.php file in the archive you downloaded and the latest alpha are different. If you’re feeling adventurous, you might want to download a later alpha version and see if it fixes this plugin problem for you.

These alpha version should not be used on a production site, FYI.

[chrishajer]

What revision of Alpha did you install? Looks like ticket 924 took care of the problem in revision 1649. The latest 1.0 alpha is r1755, which includes that change.

I’m having a “small” but rather annoying issue with my bbP install (bbP latest Alpha, WP 2.6.2, non-integrated with kakumei template).

Now when a user’s Profile data is changed on the Profile Tab (either by the user himself or any Admin/Keymaster), this users PW receives a reset leaving him unable to login with his old PW and he’ll need to request a new one.

A temporary solution seems to be to let users confirm their old PW on the Profile page everytime even if they only want to change other data like their name.

However, this is of course only a workaround for the user himself because the Admins/Keymasters don’t know the user’s PW.

For now I settled on changing privileges etc. directly via the DB which will leave the PW intact, still it’s quite a bit of extra work.

Is this a known issue with the Alpha release?

Thanks a lot

chrishajer,

Thanks for the response and input, I appreciate it.

The spelling error is corrected.

The Ryan Newman News And Information page is completely separate from the Racing News Digest.

I started Racing News Digest as a little project just for me….and of course that is not what it is now.

But Racing News Digest is currently at

http://racingnews.ryannewmaninfo.info and the forums are at http://racingnews.ryannewmaninfo.info/forum/.

You can currently access that site through http://racingnewsdigest.com and my next project is to get it off the ryannewmaninfo.info domain an get it onto racingnewsdigest.com.

Now, as far as the drop down menus.

I am using IE6 and Firefox 2.

I am a little stumped on this. I don’t see the problem at all on the Ryan Newman Information site.

I do see the problem at the RND forums though. It seems to disappear at the start of the forum page or more specifically where something starts on the forum page (like words or a form or something.)

But this problem does not exist on the RND site.

I COULD REALLY USE SOME SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THIS. That would really be appreciated but I will keep working on that today while watching the race!!!

The signature, I agree, I just got it in there for testing and playing. My signature will probably have a little more in it.

Also the social network icon don’t have links. I figured people could go to the profile page to access someones info.

The social networking deal is something I modified from bbsocialize. You can check that out here.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/enhanced-profile

Maybe I will at least add a link to the profile page in there.

Thanks for any help or comments you may have.

[cabal79]

Thank you so much for going the extra mile and making a video, that was awesome.

I just leeched the latest Trunk and tried to let it create the bb-config on it’s own and now it worked, still can’t find the earlier syntax problem but it’s running now.

Thank again!

Will it be possible to upgrade to 1.0 when there’re people registering with utf8 usernames?

(I’m still testing and editing with 0.9, and will need utf8 names)

Or will it be better to use 1.0 alpha?

In addition to the info in the previous post, I’ve looked at the cookies themselves.

I see that when I log in through bbpress, the cookies are from http://www.blahblah.com. When I log in through wordpress, it’s just blahblah.com (no www prefix). Under the configuration for both sites, http://www.blahblah.com is set as the main page. I also see that wordpress puts four cookies, while bbpress puts six. They both put wordpress_test_cookie and wordpress_logged_in_xxxxxxxxxxxx

but wordpress puts just two other ones, named wordpress_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the paths

/wp-content/plugins and /wp-admin

While bbpress also includes the bb-press directories. Is this why a login through wordpress does not get me access to the bbpress admin?

[Sam Bauers]

Untested and YMMV:

$current_forum_id = get_forum_id();



while ( bb_forum() ) {

$class = '';

if ($current_forum_id == get_forum_id()) {

$class = 'on';

}

}

@ meitershaker

There was a bug in the display name implementation. First, update to the very latest trunk. There is a chance that you might have a user meta item for some users called ‘display_name’. This will be stomping on the real setting in the user table. Use this SQL query to clear out the bad data.

DELETE FROM bb_usermeta WHERE meta_key = 'display_name';

Once you’ve updated to the latest trunk and done that, you should be able to use any UTF-8 character in display names.

[cabal79]

Hello there.

I’m eager to try out some of Sam’s Trunk Releases on my site, but I keep running into installation issues. Since I’m new to these kind of test releases, it might just be a simple misunderstanding on my part though.

In a nutshell, what I did is download the latest trunk, add a backpress release and try to install as usual.

Well, after changing bb-config-sample.php into bb-config.php in step 1 the installer will just blank out on the following steps.

Are these Releases not supposed to support the installer at this point?

Thanks

Rob

This is the only SEO related plugin I know of for bbPress. Not sure if it works with the latest release, but it could be a start.

Full text search is of course still quicker and getting rid of the GROUP BY helps even further. 66% quicker in my case. I’m going to use the following query as my search.

SELECT p . * , MATCH (p.post_text) AGAINST ('test') AS

search_score FROM bb_posts AS p WHERE MATCH

(p.post_text) AGAINST ('test') AND p.post_status = '0'

AND NOT p.topic_id IN (SELECT t.topic_id FROM bb_topics

AS t WHERE t.topic_status <> '0') ORDER BY search_score

DESC LIMIT 30;

The downside is that it doesn’t include topic titles in the search. You can solve this adding this search to a temporary table, running another search on topic_title, and merging the two tables together. You need quite a bit of PHP code to manage this (particularly getting the NEXT buttons to work correctly), but it’s quite possible.

[Mark Barnes]

@sambauers: Let me just give you a couple of observations. Firstly, regarding the first search performed.

SELECT p.*, 0 AS search_score, MAX(post_time) AS post_time FROM bb_posts AS p JOIN bb_topics as t ON ( t.topic_id = p.topic_id ) WHERE p.post_text LIKE '%test%' AND p.post_status = '0' AND t.topic_status = '0' GROUP BY t.topic_id ORDER BY p.post_time DESC LIMIT 5;

The first thing that can be done here is remove the join and replace it with a sub-query. This way the sub-query can be cached, and speed is much improved. Here’s the idential query without the join:

SELECT p.*, 0 AS search_score, MAX(post_time) AS post_time FROM bb_posts AS p WHERE p.post_text LIKE '%test%' AND p.post_status = '0' AND NOT p.topic_id IN (SELECT t.topic_id FROM bb_topics AS t WHERE t.topic_status <> '0') GROUP BY p.topic_id ORDER BY p.post_time DESC LIMIT 5

That cuts execution time by 55% on my setup. If you have lots of deleted topics this might not apply, but if you have a huge database you ought to be cleaning the deletes out of it regularly anyway.

_ck_ is also right that ordering by post_id is quicker than by post_time. 17% quicker in my case.

[chrishajer]

I don’t know – what’s easier for you, downgrading to 2.5.1 or upgrading to an alpha release of bbPress?

Personally, if I needed integration between WordPress and bbPress, I would install the 0.9.0.2 of bbPress and 2.5.1 of WordPress. Alpha software should be used for testing only.

[chrishajer]

Posts are editable for a configurable period of time after posting, by the original poster. You can post then look at the post and see how it worked.

This plugin also worked with earlier version of bbPress:

Nope, there’s not. That’s okay

Hi I do have a version working(I downgraded bbpress to the last version bbsync worked because I was tired of using a alpha version of bbpress) it’s completely new code, but it’s very basic on the feature set and a bit hacked together, as I could never get the bbpress functions to work in a wordpress plugin.

I’m at a public library at the moment so I don’t have the code with me but I can work on the code a little bit when I get home.

Also please note, this was just made for me and I probably have different needs to what you needed, for example I wanted all wordpress posts to make a new topic so there isn’t options on a per post basis to post to a forum. Also comments don’t replicate between bbpress and wordpress(I was just going to disable commenting and make all users use the topic) but depending on how much time I have tonight I might add this functionality as I don’t see the difficulty in it.

Also F.Y.I. if anyone is interested I do it the úber ghetto way and manually manipulate the database and don’t go through any of the wordpress or bbpress functions so use at your own risk, but I haven’t run into any problems on my test site.

[azsportshub]

It was WordPress Mu 2.6.1 and BBpress Alpha…..

I have done a few re-installs since then and now am able to log in if I take out the reference to wp-config.php or wp-blog-header.php from my bb-config file.

In any event, it is odd because I had the setup of WordPress 2.6.1 and Bbpress 0.92 on my test server and that was working fine. Now integration has all gone to hell and back…

[_ck_]

Remember, the problem with MATCH AGAINST is it will not do partial words or words under 4 characters.

It’s not too hard to replace the search, you just have to decide which way you want to go. The regular expression will at least do 3 character words which I find is more common than you’d imagine.

The problem is that the time for any way without an index is going to increase dramatically once you start adding sorting and other options that cause full table scans. You can see this happen if you try to add a simple option to the regex demo like sorting by reverse post_id (which is a trick that should be a little faster than sorting by date).

SELECT * FROM bb_posts WHERE post_text LIKE '%test%' LIMIT 5 ORDER BY post_id DESC;

and

SELECT * FROM bb_posts WHERE post_text LIKE '%test%' AND REGEXP ':<:%test%:>:' LIMIT 5 ORDER BY post_id DESC;

You might want to test a worse case scenario by using three character nonsense words that will cause a cache-miss like “zzz” and “aaa”. Change them each time so mysql cannot cache the results and give you faster times.

If the above example returns in an acceptable amount of time you can just replace bbpress’s built in search with that simple method. By parsing a query you can also AND words together instead of bbPress’s default OR which to me is incredibly annoying and useless (you’ll notice no major search engine like Yahoo or Google does OR by default).
