I think for bb-plugins.php, you would need to make this change:

if ( function_exists( 'glob' ) && is_callable( 'glob' ) ) {

foreach ( glob(BBPLUGINDIR . '_*.php') as $_plugin ) {

$_data = bb_get_plugin_data( $_plugin );

$_plugins[$_plugin] = $_data ? $_data : true;

}

}

That’s the whole block of code from trunk. Looks like they test now to see if glob is callable, then actually call it. That should fix your glob problem.

[chrishajer]

Regarding the glob thing – you are going to need the same sort of fix for the glob anywhere it’s used in bbPress since your host disabled it. You would have to grep through all the code and say something like:

if ( function_exists( 'glob' ) && is_callable( 'glob' ) ) {

whatever test that used to use glob;

}

Not sure the best way to deal with that.

oh I missed your message before my last one.

“It looks like you made bbPress a page inside your WordPress installation?”

Yes, I´m afraid.

So maybe the full-url is wrong in the config-file? Do I have to reinstall the whole thing then? And what should the full-url-thing be next time.

I tested right now to create a page (the URL to my forum) and that worked But as u see u cant do anything when u are there.

I´m really confused right now,doh.

I just want to have a forum, a link to it in the menu, it should be integrated (not just for itself, it should be like a new page)

Is this possible? its feels hopeless.

Interesting…

I don’t know why it would redirect to the home page vs. giving you a failed login attempt. I registered, received my email, tried logging in, and it seemed like it just redirected to the front page of the forum again.

Is the WordPress installation going to be here:

http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate/ ?

If so, with integration, the bbPress installation should be here then (I believe):

http://www.johnwade.ca/puppyplaydate/Forums/

but it’s actually here:

http://www.johnwade.ca/Forums/

I wonder if the cookie path is wrong and that prevents bbPress from setting the proper cookie and thus thinks you’re not logged in, or that you logged back out since there is no valid cookie?

I checked the cookies that were set and I have a cookie path of /puppyplaydate/ for wordpressuser and wordpresspass. I would expect the cookie path to be /Forums/ with this setup.

As a test, I just stopped accepting cookies for my site (integrated with WordPress as well), then tried logging in. If I tried to log in while I was viewing a forum, it just silently redirected me to the forum home page. This seems like confirmation that it’s a cookie issue at this point. I can make mine do what yours is doing.

If I set the 2 cookies manually in Firefox, I am logged in! Check this out:

Screenshot of me logged into your forum:

Screenshot of the cookies I manually set (note path /Forums/):

Here is the response from your server where it tries to set the cookies with a path of /puppyplaydate/:

I believe that is due to the language files. Look here for more info:

It looks like your site is in Portuguese, but maybe this Spanish thread will be useful:

I’d love to see such a plugin.

However your test is not working for me in Firefox 2.0

I hit preview and it show “Please wait…..”

You might also want to make/give an option to allow the preview to auto-kick in after say 2-3 seconds after “on key up” in the textarea (indicating a typing pause).

[tmeister]

Sorry, You can use

username: testuser

password: e6b4b5

To test it.. the post preview’s button only appears when the user is login

[tmeister]

Hi there.

I am working in a post preview plugin. you can see it here http://www.klr20mg.com/dev/bbpress/.

I dont know if that is enough to release a beta version.

The plugin only sends the textArea text, applies filters and shows the text using ajax.

The preview only works with replies and has no design at all .

What you think?

Test url http://www.klr20mg.com/dev/bbpress/

see ya.

Thanks for the feedback. I think you are right. Reverse DNS, actually…

I dug a little deeper in the sendmail log and found that my server was identifying itself as ‘local.localdomain’. Some receiving mail servers are fine with this. Others are not. They want to do a look-up on your domain.

The fix (in case anyone else hits this) is to go into your network settings and inspect your host name and domain name. Put in your qualified domain name. Then do a test registration and look in the sendmail log… You should no longer see local.localdomain…

I’ve done these steps and will monitor. But my research suggests this was the root-cause..

It’s fairly easy to test loading/decoding times using firefox+fasterfox or firebug but there are plenty of studies around the web if you want nitty-gritty details:

a quick search:

http://batiste.dosimple.ch/blog/2007-07-02-1/

http://ejohn.org/blog/library-loading-speed/

http://jst.pbwiki.com/summary.php

http://www.julienlecomte.net/blog/2007/08/13/

jquery with simple whitespace removal and variable name shrinking, *not* actual compression, sent via a server with proper gzip support (mod_gzip, apache2, litespeed, etc) is always fastest. Packed is always the worst. Not only that, packed has to be unpacked for EVERY page load. It’s never ready to run. So it uses more browser memory, and has a delay *every* time.

By the way, what does jquery actually do within bbpress’s topics for regular users? I don’t get it, there’s no javascript actions. bbpress used to have ajax posting but that was removed a long time ago (it should come back sometime…)

If you absolutely must distribute bbpress (and wordpress) with jquery in a more compressed form, please use the jsmin version but definitely not the packed version.

You can find this function in bb-includes/functions.php

function bb_add_topic_tags( $topic_id, $tags ) {

global $bbdb;



$tags = trim( $tags );

$words = explode(',', $tags);



if ( !is_array( $words ) )

return false;



$tag_ids = array();

foreach ( $words as $tag )

if ( $_tag = bb_add_topic_tag( $topic_id, $tag ) )

$tag_ids[] = $_tag;

return $tag_ids;

}

The explode() function is where the logic is happening… you’ll have to test to see if it screws up anything else, cause I’ve not tried it.

But WP 2.4 should be out in March perhaps?

So it would be a nice co-release at that time.

I’ve got the two trunks purring along together, though I had to smack WP into submission to reduce the default mysql queries per page (27 for the default install with a single test post is a little high, wouldn’t you say?) Still trying to figure out if I can disable the new tag system in WP to reduce the load further.

Also, BackPress may or may-not be incorporated into WordPress. bbPress is a testing ground for the concept. If it doesn’t get incorporated into WordPress it doesn’t really matter, hopefully we’ll at least have a better structured core in bbPress as a result.

[edwinfoo]

The 2 key issues are server uptime and email reliability.

In the short 4 months that my forum has been running, I’ve had so many incidences of users registering 2 usernames. I’ve come to learn that the 2nd one is out of frustration that the email containing the password did not arrive.

This weekend, I have had no outbound email and sick of spending money on AdWords to bring in people that can’t sign up.

Apart from the registration email, I am using both Auto Favorite & Post Notification plugins. Therefore, reliable email is very important to maintain posting activity.

I’ve read alot about concerns that bbPress isn’t sending email. After extensive testing and in my situation, the problem is with the host.

I’m looking to avoid dedicated hosting at this time because my day job is funding this venture already. Can anyone recommend a hosting service that offers good reliability in both uptime and email?

[howtogeek]

Here’s a function that changes the last poster to a link to the last post:

function geek_addlatest_link()

{

global $topic;

echo ‘ topic_id) . ‘”>’.get_topic_last_poster($topic->topic_id).’‘;

}

Just needs to be added into a theme like this:

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php geek_addlatest_link(); ?></td>

“Put in a plugin” means:

1. create a new file with a text editor.

2. give it a name like “bb-restrict-new-topic.php”

3. create a header in the file that tells bbPress this file is a plugin, like this:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Restrict New Topic

Description: Restrict new topic creation by members

Version: 0.1

*/

4. put the text from that other page into the rest of the file.

5. be sure to close the file with a ?>

6. put that new file in your bb-plugins folder.

7. activate the plugin in your admin panel

8. test test test

I think the plugin file will look like this when you’re done.

Has anyone experience an issue with the rss forum feed of recent posts being empty? I’ve checked my php logs and no errors are showing up. I’m running the latest version of bbPress installed in the /forums/ directory.

[chrishajer]

1. Looks like this is the correct URL:

http://test.nofullstop.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

2. Looks like the database connection details in config.php are incorrect:

Cannot select DB.
