How to shorten a profile link?

Published on May 8th, 2008 by

Is it possible to shorten a profile link such as:

http://www.example.com/forums/profile/username

to:

http://www.example.com/profile/username

or to:

http://www.example.com/username

or to:

http://my.example.com/username

or to:

http://username.example.com

Thanks in advance.

Another pretty permalink/mod_rewrite mystery

Published on May 8th, 2008 by

I have bbPress installed in a directory called “forums” on my web server. I have Pretty Permalinks enabled and working. To view the profile of a member, I can go to this URL:

http://www.example.com/forums/profile/membername

However, I would like the url to be:

http://www.example.com/profile/membername

I’ve tried writing a mod_rewrite rule which rewrites the latter to the former. However, instead of rewriting it, it redirect and exposes the URL. For example. Typing this into the browser:

http://www.example.com/profile/membername

Redirects to this, instead of rewriting it:

http://www.example.com/forums/profile/membername

Here is the mod_rewrite I am using:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteRule ^profile/membername$ /forums/profile/membername [L]
</IfModule>

If I change the rule to rewrite the URL to a simple text file, it rewrites properly and masks the URL. For example, this works:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteRule ^profile/membername$ /forums/textfile.txt[L]
</IfModule>

Another example, I wrote this rule, as a test, to rewrite a URL to the rewrite-rules.php file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteRule ^profile/membername$ /forums/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php [L]
</IfModule>

I type in this url into my browser:

http://www.example.com/profile/membername

And it redirects to ths instead:

http://test.doublebad.com/forums/

If I replace all the text in the rewrite-rules.php file with “test text”, then the URL rewrites properly.

So it seems that when you are rewriting and URL to a bbPress php file, it will always redirect instead of rewriting, which is quite annoying. I’m trying to trace in the bbPress functions and settings where this is occuring. But I’m having no luck.

Any suggestions?

I login on my WordPress 2.5 site. Then I go to the BBPress 0.9.1 install which was installed second and setup to be integrated with WP. When I hit BBPress, I have to login again.

share users between two bbpress – different instalations

Published on May 6th, 2008 by clementine

Hello everybody,

I need two different forums, in two different domains, they are hosted at the same server and they are sharing the database also.

If I make two different instalations using two table prefix (like bb1_ and bb2_) do you know if it’s possible to share the users between the two forums? I don’t want to merge the topics, or the forums, just the users table…

Thanks a lot.

Page Bug

Published on May 6th, 2008 by citizenkeith

My forum users have named this the “Page Bug.”

Here’s what happens: Our forum has 30 posts per page in a thread. Somebody posts the 31st post (or 61st, 91st, etc) which should show up on a new page. However, the thread gets stuck. There’s no “next page” number to click on. The post was successful, it’s just not displayed on a new page.

At this point, I tried recounting, but it still did not appear.

The only way out of the mess is to make a new post. Suddenly, a new page appears and the 31st post is right where it should be, followed by the new 32nd post.

Sometimes the 32nd post doesn’t work either, but that doesn’t happen often.

I’m running v0.9.0.2 with a host of plugins. I’ve tried with no plugins and the default template but it still happens.

error after new post (all of a sudden)

Published on May 6th, 2008 by bobbyh

A few days ago, out of the blue, users of my bbpress forum reported that submitting a new topic/post resulted in an error. Previously, my bbpress forum was working perfectly. However, over the last few days, I have verified that if you submit a new post or leave a comment, the browser takes you to bb-post.php, where the page hangs. You can verify this on my forum using user “testuser” and password “test123”.

There are a few weird things about this:

  • I hadn’t touched the server for some time prior to this sudden problem, so it’s weird that the problem started, since I hadn’t changed anything
  • I’ve been running two bbpress forums authenticated against the same WP user table. The problem is only with the first bbpress installation, while the second bbpress installation continues to work with no problems.
  • When you post, the browser returns a 500 internal server error, and doesn’t display a “die” message, e.g. “You need to actually submit some content!”
  • Although the browser returns a 500 internal server error, the posted content does go through.

I’ve hand-inspected http://boards.weddingbee.com/bb-post.php, and it has exactly the same PHP code as http://classifieds.weddingbee.com/bb-post.php. I’ve tried everything I can think of… I disabled plugins and Akismet, and the problem didn’t go away. (I’ve turned them back on.)

I’m using bbPress 0.83, with bb_db_version 788. I haven’t upgraded to bbPress 0.9.0.2 yet because I’ve integrated my WordPress 2.33 install with two bbPress installs and a Mediawiki install, and it will be a ton of work to reintegrate. However, that is the next step…

Does anybody have any ideas? :-)
