It seems that the website is down? Does any one else have the plugin zip folder hosted elsewhere?

[@ardentfrost Member 18 years ago]

Website is not down.

hi,

where must i go to install the table ?

[@nekketsu Member 18 years ago]

Cant edit my message

I mean the tables of all plugins i installed, are not created.

I dont understand why because i thought that is automatic.

[@ardentfrost Member 18 years ago]

Table creation is automatic. It should install if you navigate to your domain/pm.php or put the message code on your front page.

[@plus64 Member 18 years ago]

Website is not down – Then I am unable to reach it – my browser just sits there loading it

[@ardentfrost Member 18 years ago]

can you reach http://www.rayd.org/ ?

How about http://faq.rayd.org/ ?

[@willdayble Member 18 years ago]

It doesn’t load for me either, in FF or Opera, using XP in Australia.

[@trent Member 18 years ago]

Ardentfrost, do you have a wicked .htaccess file or use bad behavior?

[@suleiman Member 18 years ago]

hmmm…I’m having the same problem, where I get the error about the bbpress database not existing. I’m integrating with WPMU instead of regular wordpress but that shouldn’t really cause an issue should it?

Is there a place we can hardcode it to wp_ instead of bb_?

[@trent Member 18 years ago]

message.php is the main one. That is where you would hardcode it.

[@drtech Participant 18 years ago]

I also had to hard code message.php for it to work.

<– “if (wp_knu_)

$touser = $bbdb->get_row(“SELECT * FROM “.wp_knu_.”users WHERE ID = $toid”);

else

$touser = $bbdb->get_row(“SELECT * FROM “.bb_knu_.”users WHERE ID = $toid”);

pm_user_form( $touser, ” );

exit;”–>

Not automatic for me

[@ardentfrost Member 18 years ago]

Since I don’t use wpmu integration, there have been a few bugs Trent and I have found and worked on. My next release will be more integration friendly, but that doesn’t explain the table creation problem you’re having nekketsu… Trent uses integration and his table creation worked. Can you tell me the errors it is giving you? Just copy and paste them straight to here.

And as for people in other countries not being able to access my site, I’ll look into it. The only country I think we block is China. You guys can’t reach any of rayd? Can you ping http://www.rayd.org? Does the ping request even resolve the name? Let me know.

[@chrishajer Participant 18 years ago]

Host comes up for me and has for the past couple days, since people started posting about trouble. I have been able to get there fine.

[@ardentfrost Member 18 years ago]

Anyone who is having trouble with the server please do this:

-open a command line and type tracert www.rayd.org

-Copy the resulting text and email it to thansen@qualitytech.com

-If it starts timing out over and over, just press CTRL-C to stop the process, copy and send it on.

Due to spammers, sometimes a lot of the countries in the far east get blocked. Sending that tracert text will allow us make sure legitimate users are allowed through the firewalls.

Thanks!

Not sure why, but I had to make these changes to get the PM links to work for me:

if ( $bb->mod_rewrite )

$r = bb_get_option('uri') . "message" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );

to

if ( $bb->mod_rewrite )

$r = bb_get_option('uri') . "message.php" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );

and

if ( $bb->mod_rewrite )

$r = bb_get_option('uri') . "pm" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );

to

if ( $bb->mod_rewrite )

$r = bb_get_option('uri') . "pm.php" . ( '' != $tag ? "$tag" : '' );

Works great though!

EDIT: I get this error when I add the pm_user_link bit to my post.php

“bbPress database error: [Table ‘CENSORED_DB_NAME’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 1″

I never could figure out why I was getting that, so I just deleted that bit, but otherwise seems to be working fine.

[@ardentfrost Member 17 years, 12 months ago]

are you integrated? I think I might need to update some stuff so that it works out of the box when integrated.

[@nitallica Member 17 years, 12 months ago]

Yes, I’m integrated.

[@ardentfrost Member 17 years, 12 months ago]

Why are my plugins getting hit by spammers? >.<

[@nitallica Member 17 years, 12 months ago]

Stalker?

[@trent Member 17 years, 12 months ago]

Thanks Spencer for pointing that spammer outJ

Trent

[@spencerp Member 17 years, 12 months ago]

It was no problem at all. By the way, he also posted one over here sigh: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/6/page/2?replies=48#post-2677

Dang spammers!

[@nitallica Member 17 years, 11 months ago]

Revisiting this: I’m still getting this error:

bbPress database error: [Table 'DBNAME.bb_users' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 4

I’ve re-read all the replies to this thread and it looks like spencerp had the same problem I am right now, but I didn’t see a solution posted. Spencer, could you lend me a hand? Or ardentfrost, is there a new version coming? (in other words, should I wait? )

[@spencerp Member 17 years, 11 months ago]

Try this version of the “main plugin” file once..

http://spencerp.net/downloads/bb-privatemessage.php.txt

Just copy the codes from that one, and place it in the original bb-privatemessage.php and reupload it into the my-plugins directory again..

That *should* work.. If not, Josh(ardentfrost) and I will look into what we’ve done before, to get rid of that error.

/I think we had to “hard-code” the calls to the users table for the database..? If I’m not mistaken.. Josh?
