Kakumei is ok, but some others display 0 (zero) in front of the father forum, this is disturbing for users who fail to understand that the top forum is only a container and not a real forum. Some doesn't display forum as a hierarchy (with a father / container forum and sub forums). </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/multiple-level-forums#post-18940 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:42:20 +0000 darnit 18940@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I found the answer myself, 26 mins. later, LOL: you simply need to go to Manage -&gt; Forums -&gt; click on a forum and set its parent forum.</p> <p>That way you'll have multiple subforums on any forum on your bbPress installation.</p> <p>Heh. Next time, I'll get acquainted with the features of bbPress BEFORE asking for help ^_^ </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/multiple-level-forums#post-18939 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:12:53 +0000 darnit 18939@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hello bbpress world!</p> <p>I would like to congratulate you all for developing such a steadfast, easy-to-use forum software known as bbPress. I love(s) it :)</p> <p>Secondly -- yeap, it's an issue -- I would like to know if it is possible to have a forum-forum-topic structure instead of the current forum-topic one.</p> <p>For example, we currently have:</p> <p>Webmasters Forum - [all the topics go here]</p> <p>while we would want to have:</p> <p>Webmasters Forum - Italian Webmasters Forum / American Webmasters Forum - [all the topics from the Italian / American go here]</p> <p>Would such a structure be possible?</p> <p>Thank you for your time and for your replies. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-bbpress-wp-bbpress-orgy#post-14439 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:28:43 +0000 chrishajer 14439@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Looks like your blog is fine, but bbPress is not. Assuming you're using the same database for both, then the connection details should be the same, other than the name of the constants (BBDB_ for bbPress instead of DB_ for WordPress - if you copied the whole section over, the constant names would be wrong.)</p> <p>It's hard to troubleshoot these things remotely since someone needs to be able to log into your control panel to see the actual connection details, then view and edit your config.php to make sure the settings are the same. Without trusting someone with that info, you're going to have a hard time finding help for the problem.</p> <p>P.S. please don't post the connection details here.</p> <p>P.P.S. you can contact me directly using any email found on the site linked in my profile, or just google my name (screen name or real name, matters not). I will be glad to help off-list. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-bbpress-wp-bbpress-orgy#post-14435 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:52:08 +0000 markwa 14435@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I'm trying to track down the same problem with "Cannot select DB." The problem is actually upstream in a call to mysql_connect. The mysql_connect is fails, but without any separate error handing in db.php. But I don't know why the mysql_connect is failing.

By relevant, I mean the all-enclosing div tag and the 3 divs for the 3 columns. I'm thinking it's a padding + width issue. IE and firefox handle these differently. For one, Width = width + padding. For the other Width is width without the padding. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-bbpress-isntall-showing-correctly-in-mozilla-but-not-in-ie#post-8073 Fri, 15 Jun 2007 00:15:44 +0000 fel64 8073@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>That's strange with the email.

Looking at bb-includes/db.php, the error "Cannot select DB" occurs when mysql_select_db() fails (search the file for "cannot" to get to the right bit). Since there's no error about not enough parameters, I assume that mysql_connect() was successful but I'm not sure about that. It's one of the two IMO. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-bbpress-isntall-showing-correctly-in-mozilla-but-not-in-ie#post-7994 Tue, 12 Jun 2007 10:29:43 +0000 fel64 7994@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>mfaxion?</p> <p>You're going to have to save the page HTML output, the images in it and the stylesheets, zip 'em up and put them up for downloading, otherwise I can't help you.</p> <p>I do not recommend two mostly identical seperate stylesheets for the two browsers. If you need to use two different stylesheets, then you should have one main file that both browsers get and two much smaller files that account for the quirks and necessary hacks. Code duplication is never good.</p> <p>You can fix mysoberlife.com/forums by simply adding <code>width: 550px;</code> rules to <code>hottags</code> and <code>discussions</code>, by the way. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-bbpress-isntall-showing-correctly-in-mozilla-but-not-in-ie#post-7993 Tue, 12 Jun 2007 02:42:02 +0000 matt123 7993@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>First off let me say IE should be taken out and shot behind the shed. Probably shouldn't say that living in the land of Microsoft!</p> <p>So I have a wpmu bbpress install have a 3 column theme set up. The divs in the single sidebar float the first column left, second column right. I finally got it to display correctly by inserting the content div or in this case the ncol div. I had to place the get sidebar and get footer inside the closing div tag and magically Mozilla shows everything correctly. </p> <p>What a great day 10 minutes into troubleshooting and I fix the problem. However it was incredibly short lived! In IE it displays everything correctly except the sidebar. Instead the sidebar appears on the left side underneath the forum. </p> <p>I have a regular and ie stylesheet, tried to make sure there weren't any major discrepencies between the two. There weren't. Anyone know what I need to do to make it load next to the forum in IE instead of below it?</p> <p>By the way I have the bbpress styling calling up my wpmu stylesheet. I copied the style divs that bbpress calls from the bb press style sheet and inserted them into the wpmu stylesheet. </p> <p>I'd offer up an example at the site but I can't. I have another version of the site running for visitors at the moment. </p> <p>Hope that made sense! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.</p> <p>example of set up:<br /> (front-page)<br /> get header<br /> div ncol<br /> div discussion etc..<br /> /div<br /> get sidebar<br /> get footer<br /> /div </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-bbpress-wp-bbpress-orgy#post-7991 Tue, 12 Jun 2007 02:32:16 +0000 matt123 7991@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Ok here come the explanation. I have wpmu bbpress install all integrated. Styling is still a little screwy in IE but thats not the main problem. </p> <p>I have installed a copy of WP on a subdirectory. In that subdirectory I created another subdirectory for bbpress. I have been trying to install bbpress but it says it cannot access the db. I know the its not the database name, username or password it must be the path?</p> <p>here is the path structure</p> <p>mainwpmuinstall/wpinstall/bbpressinstall</p> <p>$bb-&gt;domain = 'http://mysoberlife.com';<br /> $bb-&gt;path = '/democlinical/forums'; </p> <p>$bb-&gt;wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';<br /> $bb-&gt;wp_home = 'http://mysoberlife.com/democlinical';<br /> $bb-&gt;wp_siteurl = 'http://mysoberlife.com/democlinical';<br /> $bb-&gt;usercookie = 'wordpressuser';<br /> $bb-&gt;passcookie = 'wordpresspass';</p> <p>Been trying different options and can't get it to work. Was hoping I made some silly simple error that someone more experienced could pick up. </p> <p>I can't think up a reason why bbpress couldn't work on a subdirectory set up like this. </p>
