Perhaps your old install had one and you didn't copy it over during the upgrade. leemon on "Hide email addresses" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-email-addresses#post-16152 Mon, 12 May 2008 09:33:36 +0000 leemon 16152@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Is there any way to hide email addresses in public profiles?

I'm currently doing the same thing you're trying to do on my Wordpress blog with bbPress also. It pretty much means taking your Wordpress theme and going through each file one by one and converting them to bbPress. So you have to strip out the Wordpress tags and functions in the theme files and replace them with bbPress versions. There's no list of equivalent tags, so translating them is just gonna take a lot of trial and error and testing.

But the problem I'm having is putting my forum actually onto my site. I just want a button at the top next to "Home" on the navigation bar that says "Forum" and when you click on it, it takes you to my forum. I would prefer to keep the header and footer on it so that it looks like it's actually in the site still. Any suggestions???

For instance, <a href="http://www.linickx.com/archives/402/k2-for-bbpress-updated-v002">K2 for bbPress</a> is similar to the Wordpress default theme.

If you write a new post in a new topic, after the submitting the form, you are redirected back to the forum's front page, instead of the forum you were on. I spent some time digging around the get_post_link() related functions, and couldn't figure out exactly what was going on. However, I was able to make this modification to the bb-post.php file to get it to redirect properly. Paste this after line 43, in bb-post.php of bbPress 0.9.0.2 <code>$link = str_replace('forums/', "forums/". $forum->$topic_slug, $link);</code> mrhoratio on "bb_query: get topics started within a date range?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bb_query-get-topics-started-within-a-date-range#post-16144 Mon, 12 May 2008 05:21:26 +0000 mrhoratio 16144@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hey Sam, thanks for making a ticket for this.

I was planning on spending some time on this later, but on this subject (links), my original links were set to "Numeric .../forums/1". After upgrading, links from my web sites to the bbPress section no longer worked and generated a 404 error. I looked at the links within the bbPress site and they looked fine. For instance, a "sticky" topic I link to from all my web sites is "http://www.masterdata.com/forum/bbpress/topic/62" (I copied the shortcut with a right click on the link). It looks correct, but it does not work. Not even within the bbPress section and certainly not from the outside coming in. So I switched the setting on my "Pretty permalink type" to "None .../forums.php?id=1". With this setting, everything once again worked. I left it this way, but these are definitely not "pretty" links. The link to the same topic is now "http://www.masterdata.com/forum/bbpress/topic.php?id=62". BTW, "Name based ..." links do not work either. OK, that is the first issue. There are more and I will detail those tomorrow, each one in its own separate topic as suggested above. Let me, however, compliment everyone who has been involved in this project and WordPress. Both efforts are truly beyond belief in terms of what you get by simply downloading some code from the internet. ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT! So good, in fact, you spoil us to the point where we expect everything to be close to perfect at all times. That is a bit irrational and the experience with both programs should be graciously appreciated. Thank you for your work! Best L.

Doesn't do anything special other than let you edit a file directly on your server without having to use FTP (or shell). While it seems handy, if I am not mistaken it also requires you to chmod 777 your theme folder which is very dangerous on a shared server. I suppose bbPress will get the feature eventually because it's so very simple. I would guess it could be ported from the WordPress code in probably an hour. _ck_ on "New bbPress BUGGY!!!" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-bbpress#post-16129 Sun, 11 May 2008 23:21:27 +0000 _ck_ 16129@http://bbpress.org/forums/ You definitely need to post examples of bugs you encounter.

I was able to fix the redirection issue by modifying the get_user_profile_link() function in the template-functions.php. I added the following line towards the end of the function, right before the last line of code in the function: <code>$r = str_replace('forums/profile/' . $user->$column , "profile/" . $user->$column, $r);</code> This is the full code: <pre><code>function get_user_profile_link( $id = 0, $page = 1 ) { $user = bb_get_user( bb_get_user_id( $id ) ); $rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' ); if ( $rewrite ) { if ( $rewrite === 'slugs' ) { $column = 'user_nicename'; } else { $column = 'ID'; } $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "profile/" . $user->$column . ( 1 < $page ? "/page/$page" : '' ); } else { $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "profile.php?id=$user->ID" . ( 1 < $page ? "&page=$page" : '' ); } $r = str_replace('forums/profile/' . $user->$column , "profile/" . $user->$column, $r); return apply_filters( 'get_user_profile_link', $r, $user->ID ); }</code></pre> I noticed that if you did not install bbPress with Wordpress cookie integration, then this hack will cause bbPress to always think you are logged out. I think it has something with it not being able to retrieve the cookie because of the path change. However, if you have Wordpress cookie integration enabled, then everything seems to work. Not exactly sure why. But I think it must be something to with the path that's being set in the cookie.
