Which version of bbPress was this? 0.8.3.1 or latest trunk?

[edwinfoo]

I have no backslashes (“”) at all in my pluggable.php file

However, while I have the same problem of NO OUTBOUND EMAIL when I tested, it must work sometimes because I got some new members yesterday that are posting. But I’ve got a bunch of others whose last log on was “NEVER”….hmmmm

Something is definitely wrong

[Olaf Lederer]

Martino, I think this is related to some magic_quotes configuration from your webhost.

first disable all plugins and do some test post (tell us if you get the backslashes after doing so)

IIS 6.0

windows server 2003

the site is on a dedicated server. Not sure if it is a server setting or a synch issue / coding issue with bbpress and wpress.

after more testing here is what works currently.

– Wp lost password and new registration works fine now as far as emailing out.

– bbpress will email a notification when someone posts a new comment to your “favorites” topic

-bbpress will NOT email out a new registration or a lost password

Does that help in any to narrow it down?

[hollywoodgrind]

I’ve gone over the configuration file, and it all looks correct. I am installing in forums.nerdgrind.com, which I gave it’s own directory, so there is no wordpress installation sharing the forums directory. I’m not sure why I keep getting this error:

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ ”, , ”, ‘2008-01-16 00:57:55” at line 4]

INSERT INTO bb_topics (topic_title, topic_slug, topic_poster, topic_poster_name, topic_last_poster, topic_last_poster_name, topic_start_time, topic_time, forum_id) VALUES (‘Your first topic’, ‘your-first-topic’, , ”, , ”, ‘2008-01-16 00:57:55’, ‘2008-01-16 00:57:55’, 1)

The database is setup, and all other tables are created except this one. I am using the latest bbPress.

[Sam Bauers]

This is fixed in the latest trunk by the way.

version 0.8.3.1 – bbpress and WordPress (Version 2.3.2).. Nt Box

Clarification Below.

do you now of any bugs in the synchronizing of wp an bbp. I am testing these sytems and having issues with email registrations. I get an email notification in wp letting me know there is a new registrant but no registration password and link come through. When you register in bpress nothing happens other then saying password was sent.

Even more odd is the fact that email notification for favorites in bbpress works just fine. I have no idea what the issue is. can anyone help me.. At this point I would donate to your cause if you can get this to work/synchronize.

Sam, there are no trac tickets that I know of, just forum reports. I’ve already provided links to those. I hesitate to create a trac ticket myself since I have not experienced it first hand. I suspect the developers haven’t either, which is why it appears to still be happening.

Maybe instead of trying to recreate the problem, someone can look at lines 168 – 172 in bb-settings.php and see if the warning thrown on line 169 has a good reason. It certainly seems to be related to a missing my_plugins or bb-plugins folder, and no underscore plugins. I thought there was a difference between PHP4 and PHP5 at some point, but maybe that’s a red herring.

Also, since it’s just a warning, maybe it’s not really a hard error, just a warning, but the server is configured to show warnings, thus the warning comes first and then you get the “cannot modify header information” because the warning came first. Maybe the server needs to be configured to show warnings for this to happen? Is there an .htaccess directive to force PHP to show warnings, or maybe another way to test this?

(BTW, I just checked out 0.8.3.1 and configured my server to use PHP4 and I do not have this error. In the stock install, there is no my-plugins or bb-plugins folder. So, maybe it is throwing a warning but my server is not configured to show them?)

What version are you using? In the trunk, line 169 of bb-settings.php does not have a foreach statement, so maybe you’re using something other than the trunk release?

That error is related to not having a my-plugins folder and I think possibly not having any plugins in that folder that start with an underscore.

This was talked about a couple times:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/warning-invalid-argument-supplied-for-foreach-in-bb-settingsphp-on-line-173

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installation-problem-cannot-modify-header-information

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php-error-site-mangement-plugins-page

I thought the latest 0.8.3.1 release took care of that, but maybe it doesn’t.

If it were me, I would try creating a my-plugins directory, and then making sure there were some plugins in that folder.

[Sam Bauers]

If you use the latest trunk from the subversion repository then this setting is made in the database rather than the config file.

Scroll to the bottom of this page and use the “Zip Archive” link.

Although a little new, trunk should be stable enough to use right now (rev.1010).

Better still, install trunk using subversion and then updating is much simpler.

[Sam Bauers]

This information will only affect those following the bleeding edge of bbPress and WordPress development.

bbPress now has implemented in it’s trunk both the new “phpass” hashing for passwords and the new “authcookie” cookie methods which are slated for release in WordPress 2.5

This means that if you are integrating WordPress and bbPress then you can now test out the latest versions of each.

If you have any feedback or problems with integration then post here or on the bbDev mailing list.

Hello,

I’m sorry if this is not the right place to post. I have a blog running latest WP version and i would like to do some work integration/customisation with BBPress. I’m looking for an experienced bbpress developer that can help on this project on an ongoing basis. If you are interested, please contact me.

[cart3r]

Hello all,

I recently dove into the exciting world of BBPress, and in the midst of working out a custom theme (tweaking structure as well), I was wondering if the following things were even possible to do, or are they more suited to be plugin requests?

– attach forum name to latest topics of main page. ie I want to have a topic display like this:

“Plugins | Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet”

(where “Plugins” is the forum name and “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” is the topic, obviously.

– Within each topic, separate the original post from the comments. I guess this is similar to how a blog entry is; with the entry featured at the top, and the comments displayed below and less prominently. It seems like the way BBPress is coded they can only be stacked on top of each other and have a similar design treatment?

– Tweak post count so that if no has yet replied to a post it is “0” instead of “1”

Hopefully these are just things that are right under my nose that I haven’t been able to figure out, but let’s see…

Thanks!

Hey Everyone,

I have read through tons of posts with email problems…and I have still not been able to resolve the issue I’m having.

If you goto this URL, you will see that the mail test php file I put on my server works fine: http://www.crookedhook.net/forum/mailtest.php

I recieve the email and everything.

But when you try to reset your password (any user!) or just wait for EMAIL conformation about the forum. The email is never sent and it never reaches the clients address. JUNK MAIL folders are EMPTY, the mail is not getting caught up in that.

I had wordpress installed for this site, then we decided not to use wordpress and to go with BBPRESS. So basically I deleted the wordpress folder, and uploaded the BBPRESS Files. Put in my mySQL infor chaned a few things in config, so it has my email etc… and it worked! just the email isn’t!

Maybe I missed a setting or something in the setup?

Hopefully someone can help!?

Talk to you all soon!

CHEERS

[nook77]

I had wordpress installed, i removed WP and uploaded BBPRESS to the same directory, put in my mySQL info, and it worked. I havent changed any setting,

but, i have actaully changed this already to fix another problem:

Your error *sounds* like this one:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/warning-invalid-argument-supplied-for-foreach-in-bb-settingsphp-on-line-173

Site Management section under admin.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in domainsrcct.bizwwwrootcrookedhook.netforumbb-adminplugins.php on line 7

I have installed the online list plugin, and the print password to screen plugin. Could it be one of theses? If i check the forum, all the blugs are working properly.

I think it could just be my very raw install of bbPRESS, maybe I just have to change a few settings.

I’m running the latest version of BBPRESS

Any help is most appreciated

That fixed that one particular problem, but im still having the same problem with

[Trent Adams]

From Sam’s Post on the main bbPress blog:

Due to popular demand we have bundled a bug-fix release for bbPress. 0.8.3.1 (still called “Desmond” I believe) and it is now available for download.

This version is not the latest development release so as to remain as compatible as possible with the current version of WordPress.

The primary reason for the release is to fix some bugs in the MySQLi implementation. We anticipate that MySQLi support will be dropped in the future and to this end we have made MySQL the default extension instead of MySQLi.

A few other fixes and enhancements have also snuck in:

• Deep forum breadcrumbs with thanks to baptiste
• More consistent topic labeling methods – users of the support forum plugin will probably need to upgrade to version 2.3.3
• Some fixes to stop orphaned sub-forums from disappearing from all view
• There is now one of those fancy checkboxes to mark a user as a bozo

A couple of those changes will affect existing themes. If you have questions about adapting your theme to be compatible with the new topic labeling and forum breadcrumb features, then ask over on this forum topic.

Just curious, both in terms of registration, and posting…

I only have a small test forum up, that is integrated with my personal blog, but I was experimenting with a few ideas earlier. I go by the philosophy that layers of protection is always the way to go.

So far I’ve implemented:

1.) Visual check, pre reg form (eg. select the hamster image)

2.) Blacklisting popular spam email domains (eg. mail.ru)

3.) Hidden field trap (no javascript, just css)

4.) Maths puzzle question

5.) TanTan Spam Filter port

6.) Askimet (obviously!)

The first 4 are aimed at blocking spam bot registrations, and the final 2 at keeping posts clean. All the registration checks are core hacks (as I’m only experimenting).

Any other techniques being used successfully to ward off spammers from bbpress? Maybe something like implementing ‘Bad Behavior’ filtering for the registration process for example?

PS. Happy New Year to all!

[Simon99]

Using latest trunk code, but bb_head works fine in combo with add_action here.

[intellivision]

Hmmm still not working. Something’s strange because even this doesn’t show:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: test stuff

*/



add_action('bb_head', 'my_add_test_tag');

function my_add_test_tag() {

echo '<!-- testing here -->';

}

?>

I’ve tried activating/deactivating these plugins, and I’ve tried 2 browsers to ensure it’s not cache I’m seeing. Grr.

[Simon99]

I’ve recently enabled the hard cache, to see how it handles on a test forum with only a few users. The first problem I’ve come across has been an error with $bb_cache->get_forums() – the array it was returning when cached was 0, instead of containing the forum ids.

I fixed it by a simple reversal of the sections of code within the get_forums() function in cache.php:

$forums = (array) $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->forums $where ORDER BY forum_order");

if ( $this->use_cache && $normal && $forums )

$this->write_cache(BBPATH . 'bb-cache/bb_forums', $forums);



$_forums = array();

foreach ( $forums as $forum )

$_forums[(int) $forum->forum_id] = $bb_forum_cache[(int) $forum->forum_id] = $forum;

After reversing them (the above are their original positions), I then made sure the write cache line was using $_forums, instead of $forums.

No idea if this may have other consequences I’ve yet to unearth, but I thought it may be worth noting here.

I’ve also used the “load all options” function from wordpress as a basis for creating a global array containing all topicmeta options. By default (even with cache enabled, although maybe I’ve missed a setting), there were several calls to to topicmeta, whereas only one was really required.

[tbronson]

How can I set the number of Latest Discussions list on the front page only, separately from the listings on the individual forum pages?

For example, I want to list 5 items on the front page, but 10 on the forum pages.

Thanks!

[livibetter]

Although “redir” indicated mod_rewrite working. But, that doesn’t seem to be working on “http://www.make2for1.com/forum/general” testing, or it would output similar result like “http://make2for1.com/forum.php?id=1” did.

No idea why “RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]” didn’t match on your forums.

What was the file path of 404 in web server’s log (using rewrite rules), when accessed “http://www.make2for1.com/forum/general”?

[djuggler]

livibetter: You are right. I reversed the modifications after testing. They are in place now. A side note, if the directory ‘youcantfindme’ does not exist then http://make2for1.com/redir returns:

“Error 404 – Not found

Your browser can’t find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in.”

And shows http://make2for1.com/youcantfindme in the address field of the browser. If I create the directory ‘youcantfindme’ and put an index file in there then http://make2for1.com/redir does indeed show the index file and the address changes to http://make2for1.com/youcantfindme.

The debug test shows the following:

—-

http://make2for1.com/forum.php?id=1

REQUEST_URI: string(15) “/forum.php?id=1”

should be: string(14) “/forum/general”

full permalink: string(38) “http://www.make2for1.com/forum/general”

PATH_INFO: string(10) “/forum.php”

---

http://www.make2for1.com/forum/general

Error 404 – Not found

Your browser can’t find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in.

[That was with the RewriteRule redir youcantfindme [R=301,L] .htaccess]

---

http://www.make2for1.com/forum/general

[with the actual .htaccess generated with http://make2for1.com/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php%5D

also

Error 404 – Not found

Your browser can’t find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in.

—-

I have returned the .htaccess back to

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule redir youcantfindme [R=301,L]

</IfModule>

so you can see the http://make2for1.com/redir work

If anyone wants to play with this, I’ll happily setup an ftp account. Email juggler@gmail.com

I have left the changes in place.

Thanks.

Doug
