BuddyPress.org

I got some help on the bbPress forum and think I’ve sorted this out. I was loading “wp-blog-header.php” for deep integration, but loading “wp-load.php” seems to be better. No more 404 headers in the forum, and the RSS feed problem I had previously is also fixed.

I suspect buddypress.org is using “wp-blog-header.php” because it is showing the same symptoms. Perhaps the admin here would like to try “wp-load.php”.

Thread on bbPress forum:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/deep-integration-google-might-not-be-indexing-your-forum-pages?replies=9#post-57859

I’ve also seen the blank pages.

Returning to the 404 issue (and cross posting from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-404-error-but-page-displays?replies=3#post-57822), it looks like WordPress is setting the 404 because it doesn’t recognize the bbPress page that is loading.

When the global WP object is constructed, the function WP->handle_404 calls “status_header( 404 )”.

As a workaround, I modified “handle_404” to lay off the 404 if “BB_PATH” is defined (i.e. when a bbPress page is loading). This seems to work ok.

Here’s the new “handle_404” at around line 445 in “wp-includes/classes.php”.

function handle_404() {

global $wp_query;



if ( !defined( 'BB_PATH' ) && (0 == count($wp_query->posts)) && !is_404() && !is_search() && ( $this->did_permalink || (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && (false === strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '?'))) ) ) {



// Don't 404 for these queries if they matched an object.

if ( ( is_tag() || is_category() || is_author() ) && $wp_query->get_queried_object() ) {

if ( !is_404() )

status_header( 200 );

return;

}

$wp_query->set_404();

status_header( 404 );

nocache_headers();

} elseif ( !is_404() ) {

status_header( 200 );

}

}

Thanks – but sadly nothing seems to work:

I have now:

– rename or even delete the wp-signup.php…

– Using a captcha on my registration page (register.php)

– I installed the hashcash plugin with signup-protection activated

– deleted the register-page in BBpress

– added the .htaccess lines

– (and by the way added a couple domains to block in WPMU backend – but still the same domains get through

Is there really no way out?

Yep – I will ask on wpmu as well.

But what about the buddybar question? I’ve read about how people implemented it in bbpress – but that still is in the same wordpress environment.

What about getting the buddybar on an application external to wpmu?

Can I set up a page template for a page that just spits out the buddybar html – then include that on my external subdomain either as a php include or as an iframe??

One problem more with the forum:

My original bbPress installation was in the forums folder (http://voiceover-casting.com/forums), the same of the slug used by buddypress.

Fix to make the bbPress run:

1) Before to configure it in buddypress, enter in bbPress admin and change the url to (http://yoursite.com/forum)

2) After, enter in your FTP and change the directory name “forums” to “forum”

3) Configure buddypress in “Forums setup” and will work.

4) If you want delete the old bbPress instalation you can do that, you WILL NEED leave only the “bb-config.php” file in the “forum” folder

[deleted] it’s up!

I did – I just deleted the register-page in bbpress (I read that should do it…)

A lot depends on 1111 and 1107.

It introduces ‘force_ssl_content’ and I think everything under the sun can use it.

If 1111 goes through you might as well add ‘Securing Buddypress’ to the roadmap, let R-A-Y, the gang and myself loose on this task.

Yes, I have that one.

Added an additional patch and Function for MU.

Would be nice if we could have it…

Will be used for BP as a filter, as shown in trac notes.

So even after you integrate bbpress you still have to manually get the authors to show up?

gerikg, I’ve done that, the cookiehash is in wp-config.php only.

Thanks, r-a-y. I hope Yuku is nice to me…

Sorry, DJPaul. My goal is to import it into BuddyPress, but I didn’t know if perhaps there was some kind of import plugin like there are for importing other blogs into WordPress.

I don’t know what bbPress is either, but I’ll look it up.

Thanks!

Are you talking about these ones…

define( 'BB_AUTH_KEY', 'a85018... or these?

define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.mysite.com' );

define( 'SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );

Both taken from my bb-config.php.

P. S. forgot to say, I got the 2nd part in my wp-config.php too, with this line above it:

define( 'COOKIEHASH', 'c9ablaaaaah.' );

pxlgirl.

BBpress 1.0.3, WPMU 2.8.4a, BP 1.0.3.

So if my intergration won’t work, what should I do next? AFAIK it needs all these keys and I took those I had on my wp-config.php. I’ve done a few things after that, I need to find that tutorial again.
