Hi, I’ll be working on my bbpress stuff again later in October but thanks for figuring this out. I wouldn’t normally test it with the support forum plugin so I wasn’t aware of that behavior.

Not sure why My Views is trashing the support forum views but I’ll investigate further sometime soon – it might have to do with the way My Views lets you re-order the views, though it should not delete any.

(you’re using v0.08 correct?)

Hey!

So after the rather simplified installation and integration with WordPress, I finally finished setting up the forum section of my website. But after several unsuccessful attempts, I was unable to get Sub-Forums working. All of the forums I create just show up on the home page as a top-level forum. I then try to put it under a parent forum, but it just doesn’t work. I try everything. I am currently running the latest version of bbPress witht he WOrdpress INtegration Plug’-In installed. I ask that someone please help as this is very important towards the deployment of my site

THANKS!

Note private messages are cut off at 2048 characters (1965 in practice, from my testing) because the db field is varchar(2048).

That’s not that much to wordy writers.

I might try to change this to longtext. If I do I’ll post back on the results, and if good, the method.

I’ve just installed bbPress 0.8.3 in /forums/ in WordPress 2.3, but when I click on a user name or profile to inspect or edit, I’m taken back to the front page of the blog.

Hovering over the link shows [blog URL]/forums/profile/[user name]. Hovering over the Edit link gives [blog URL]/forums/profile/[user name]/edit.

Other than that, it seems to be working, although I haven’t tested it fully.

“Also, those are warnings, which are not good, but the connection was still made to the database. ” thats encouraging lol. Here is my wp-config file.

Also both users have full access(thechamp_wrdp1 and thechamp_risal). I thought at first it was some type of permission issue so i created thechamp_risal to test.

thanks again for the quick response

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘thechamp_wrdp1’); // The name of the database

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘thechamp_wrdp1’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxx’); // …and password

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);

require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);

?>

Thanks kindly for the reply, Chris. It worked. I deactivated all the plugins, so I will test them one by one. I really appreciate that!

[chrishajer]

That “cannot modify header information” error comes from having whitespace at the beginning or end of a php file, before the opening <?php or after the closing ?>. Check any files you edited and check any plugins for blank lines at the end of the file. If there is no problem there, maybe there’s a problem with the latest release. I haven’t checked it out yet to see.

But, it’s from extra whitespace somewhere, looks like the bb_online plugin?

bbPress is installed in /forums and WPMU is installed in /blogs .

The cookie and database integration works fine.

I am able to access bbPress functions from within WPMU by adding this to the end of /blogs/wp-config.php

// Include bbPress functions in WPMU

define('WP_BB', true); // Avoid duplicate function declarations

require_once( ABSPATH . '../forums/bb-load.php');

I’m trying to add WPMU functions to bbPress. I’ve tried adding this to the beginning of /forums/config.php . I’ve also tried putting this in the beginning of the file.

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../blogs/wp-blog-header.php')

When I go to /forums/ I’m redirected to the WPMU sign up page (/blogs/wp-signup.php?new=%2F).

I’ve also created a simple file ( /test.php ) and tried to integrate it with wpmu. It it also redirected to the WPMU sign up page.

Test Start

<?php

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/blogs/wp-blog-header.php');

?>

Test End

Do I need to create a WPMU rewrite rule in the wp_1_options rewrite rulerecord? There shouldn’t be any need for an .htaccess rewrite rule since /forums and /blogs are not in subfolders of either.

Any ideas how to make this work?

[chrishajer]

Try it to see if it works? If it doesn’t, just switch back. I don’t know of an official test.

The last release of bbPress (0.8.2.1) is incompatible with WordPress 2.3

You can either upgrade to the latest trunk now, or wait a few days when a new bbPress should be released that is compatible.

See here: https://bbpress.org/blog/2007/09/wordpress-23-is-out/

[neyoung]

Kahil, your method works well if your users use their login name as their display name. However if a user who’s login is user23 changes his display name to John Doe then your code looks for this image. /forum/avatars/John Doe.jpg instead of the correct avatar image which would be /forum/avatars/user23.jpg. I couldn’t figure out a clean way to fix this (I’m using wpmu, not wordpress). But here’s a dirty hack.

<?php

$comment_author_dn = get_comment_author();

$comment_author = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT <code>user_login</code> FROM <code>wp_users</code> WHERE <code>display_name</code> = '$comment_author_dn'");

echo '<img id="comment-avatar" height="50" width="50" src="/forums/avatars/' . (empty($comment_author->user_login) ? "default" : $comment_author->user_login) . '" alt="avatar" />';

?>

That code should find images for a user if they use a display name or not.

I haven’t fully tested it, but it seems to work ok.

In order to get the forum running, I removed the forums where testing posts have been in. Now I have put new forums in the admin section.. But there are none of them showing!!

Not a single forum help me

[5l4m]

Hi, Everyone – My stylesheet loads in browsers using Mozilla’s Gecko engine (FF, Camino) and also in Opera and Safari 3.0.3 beta for Mac, but it is not loading using OmniWeb (latest) or Safari 2.0.4 which use Apple’s WebKit.

Also, W3C Validator comes up with a 404 when trying to validate the forums.

These forums are integrated with a WP installation with no other apparent issues.

Thanks!

After giving up on bbpress over half a year ago, I decided to give it another shot. The software seems to have matured a bit, and after testing some other routes, I figured it’d still probably be the best bet for integration.

Let me know what your thoughts:

Hej guys

I removed the parent category, that’s why you dont see anything. using the newest version (0.8.2.1 ). you can try it yourself, just rebuild the structure in the images above and you will see it doesn’t work…

I noticed that the category in the admin menu jumps back when i refresh the page.

thats what it should look like:

http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/4117/richtigrv0.jpg

and that is what it looks like after refreshing:

http://www.monstrs.de/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/falsch.jpg

changing ex to em didn’t change anything

thanks for your help so far, all!

e: here is a link to a completely new installation. same problem.

Thumbnails are now an undocumented feature in version 0.8.3.

It’s undocumented because I think it ought to be road tested first. To use thumbnails you have to enable the feature in the plugin file itself, it is not configurable in the admin options page.

1. Open up bb-avatar-upload.php and in the configuration settings class, scroll down to the following section:

// Use a thumbnail image (hidden feature for now). 1 = yes / 0 = no (default)

$this->use_thumbnail = 0;

$this->thumb_width = 25;

$this->thumb_height = 25;

Set $this->use_thumbnail to 1 to enable and change the dimensions if desired.

When enabled, whenever a user uploads an avatar a smaller copy is created with the prefix ‘thumb.‘ So the avatar username.jpg will have a thumbnail called thumb.username.jpg (the file type changes with the avatar file type, so PNG avatars produce PNG thumbnails etc).

2. You can access the thumbnail image with the following function call:

echo avatarupload_displaythumb($user->ID);

An image tag is returned with the class name avatar_thumb.

<img src="thumb.username.jpg" width="25" height="25" alt="Username" class="avatar_thumb">

I think that covers everything, let me know if you have any problems.

Hello

I’m testing out some things and trying to synchronize WordPress, BBPress and Amember Subscription software. I have pretty much everything worked out, but need a little cookie help if it’s out there.

I’ve read this post, which outlines cookie settings

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on?replies=22#post-9010

The problem is that I don’t want to install the cookie plugin for WP because I already have this in my Wp-config file

define(‘COOKIEPATH’,’/’);

define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

define(‘COOKIEHASH’, md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]));

I guess my question is, what do I put into my BB config file for cookies?

I realize this may not be a direct BBPress issue, but I thought maybe one of you had an idea.

Thanks

I added GiantFan’s additional filters, but my “tester” can still post to all forums. Using 8.2.1

[kannued]

Hello

I have three bbpress installs on my website, for three very different forums, example: bbpress/a

bbpress/b

bbpress/c

I am just installing the third one, all are on 8.2.1. I noticed a problem when setting up a test profile. On the third forum, bbpress/c, the profile ID was 2. It took the Profile ID from bbpress/b, the second forum, which has nothing to do with third forum. Now, I am afraid of deleting profile ID 2 from bbpress/c because it may delete profile ID 2 from bbpress/b. So now it appears that even with different names for my installs with different names within the config.php files, that the profile IDS are not differentiantiated. This is a major problem.

Hey.

I asked my friend Steinn to have a look at the code with a fresh pair of eyes, cause he’s more of a php coder than me. He simplified the thing quite a bit as per your ideas.

I then changed it to use the bb_dbDelta() function following the instructions from that link you gave me. So now I have version 0.4.

I hope someone can test it for me.

They’re not marked as bozos.

Something else happened to a few posts now. The posts themselves don’t show up but the user shows up as “latest poster”. When I click on the latest poster link it goes to the last page of the topic but not the latest post as it’s not there.

I installed the fix-bbpress plugin but it still doesn’t work.

[burtton]

Which edition of WP do you use? 2.0.4 or 2.1? The newest edition allows you to display latest post from wordpress.Just update your WP However, I have a problem too.How could I make a pluging of Audio Player into my blog? I’ve tried several times,but it said: fail to link!

[Heliotropen]

That is my logik too, but have you tried it? ; on the web-site they write:

“This extension is tested with Mediawiki 1.6.9 (the latest release for PHP4) and wordpress 2.1. It will not work (yet) for Mediawiki > 1.6.9 (because of PHP5) but the next version will be PHP5 ready.”

Hi guys.

I haven’t been running bbPress long, but I’ve had this one problem with Akismet so far, that freaked me out. In that I have no idea why it happens.

I had a user last night sign up, go straight to a thread where users post their myspace pages, and post his. And bam, Akismet said spam, and bbpress said “bozo”.

Every subsequent post by this guy was held back as spam. I finally had the presence of mind to edit his profile and saw he was marked as a bozo. I changed the 1 to 0, thinking naturally that it was a logical flag, which indeed it is, but still every new post by this guy was getting marked as spam. I went into mysql and queried bb_usermeta with his user_id, and saw there was an is_bozo = 0 in there. I deleted that row, but still, all new posts by him were getting marked as spam. And the bozo thing wasn’t returning.

Eventually I disabled Akismet. Now, naturally, there are no posts getting marked as spam. But I had to re-enable Akismet because there were still a couple of posts I hadn’t marked as “not spam”, and when Akismet isn’t installed, you can’t mark things as spam/not spam.

I’m running my forum with a few people (around 10) in it at the moment, just to test it out before I start advertising it more. So it’s not a huge problem, but the point is it really freaked me out that this could happen on a daily basis to alot of users if I had Akismet turned on and a bunch of new registrations.

Anyone have any ideas?

[chrishajer]

Test – lets see…
