Paging nav appears fine. But, when i click on next or any page number, it return back to Home page? Any idea? btw, Permalink is enabled..

Do you have access to PHP logs to see what the trouble might be? If not, you can set up some custom logging. And, are you running WordPress as well? Which version, if so. kehlers on "Anyone have Prev/Next Thread / Forum plugin?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/anyone-have-prevnext-thread-forum-plugin#post-16713 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 22:27:35 +0000 kehlers 16713@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Does anyone know why I would get Plugin could not be activated; it produced a Fatal Error when trying activate this as a plugin?

Thing is, everything worked just fine with MultiViews, except that Next link. Ah well, resolved now.

There is a note for not working MultiViews. <blockquote> 3. Try it out. If it doesn’t work, your web server does not support MultiViews. Instead, you’ll need to remove that line from your .htaccess file and replace it with the several lines bbPress generates for you when you browse to your bbPress installation’s /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php. </blockquote> Maybe you can try it and let us know if that works? tdh on "Next page not working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/next-page-not-working#post-12493 Sat, 08 Dec 2007 10:03:47 +0000 tdh 12493@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thanks for your input, I've resolved it! It was a mod_rewrite problem. After disabling it everything worked fine, so I took the long road and went and generated a htaccess file, instead of the one using MultiViews etc. That did the trick. Weird though, why shouldn't MultiViews work with pagination, when it works with everything else? Ah well, it's A-OK now, so thanks for the help! :) chrishajer on "Next page not working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/next-page-not-working#post-12479 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 21:23:06 +0000 chrishajer 12479@http://bbpress.org/forums/ It certainly LOOKS like a rewrite problem. When you click a link that looks like <a href="http://pakten.se/forum/forum/testa-loss/page/2," rel="nofollow">http://pakten.se/forum/forum/testa-loss/page/2,</a> you are redirected to <a href="http://pakten.se/forum/forum/testa-loss." rel="nofollow">http://pakten.se/forum/forum/testa-loss.</a> That to me says it's a rewrite problem, maybe only when the url contains "page" or something. You can try it with mod_rewrite set to false and see if it works properly. If it does, then it's an issue with the rewrite rules. You could also check the apache logs (if you have access to them) to see how the rewriting is happening and why it's doing this. It doesn't result in a 404, it just redirects someplace that's incorrect. I think that's because of the rewrite rules. I would try it with mod_rewrite to false and see what happens. Good luck. tdh on "Next page not working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/next-page-not-working#post-12470 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 16:06:53 +0000 tdh 12470@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I managed to duplicate the problem on my own project.

I might get them to move another domain to the server so that I can set it up and replicate the problem there, though? And yes, they are working perfectly fine besides this. I was a bit surprised that they were, actually, since there's a WordPress MU install on the same domain, but they're playing nicely, and permalinks worked right away using the standard instructions, didn't do anything fancy at all. (Forum was installed after WPMU if that helps.) Any ideas? chrishajer on "Next page not working" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/next-page-not-working#post-12458 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 20:43:18 +0000 chrishajer 12458@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Can you share the URL?

I tried searching for this but couldn't find anything. If this have been resolved, please link me. Thanks. I've got a navigation problem. The Next link doesn't work.

I found the new_topic function could not be used when viewing a topic, so I modified the function to return a proper 'Add New Topic' link when called from a topic view (topic.php) The code changes can be found in ticket 736: <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/736" rel="nofollow">http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/736</a> Here I added a 'New Topic' link in the topic meta section: <a href="http://onthepitch.org/talk/topic/coaching-youth-soccer" rel="nofollow">http://onthepitch.org/talk/topic/coaching-youth-soccer</a> baptiste on "previous/next thread navigation" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/previousnext-thread-navigation#post-10592 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 03:41:51 +0000 baptiste 10592@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I put together a plugin that will allow you to include navigation links to flip forward or backward through forums and/or topics within a forum. <a href="http://plugins.baptiste.us/plugins/nav-links-for-bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://plugins.baptiste.us/plugins/nav-links-for-bbpress/</a> This is a first stab. No online config, etc. yet - just the main code to get the right links and forum/topic IDs. I hope to add some things to it and improve the API a bit to let templates get individual 'next' or 'previous' links. I ended up having to do direct DB queries - I couldn't find a way in the main bbPress code to get me the info I needed, but I'm not super familiar with the core code either so I may have missed something. But no functions or class methods jumped out at me. I'll post the bbPress plugin URL for it once it's approved, but you can download it from the link above. Here's a look at what it does on a forum I'm still setting up/messing with. Topic Nav - look in the meta section under the RSS link: <a href="http://onthepitch.org/talk/topic/test-topic-2" rel="nofollow">http://onthepitch.org/talk/topic/test-topic-2</a> Forum Nav - look under the list of topics: <a href="http://onthepitch.org/talk/forum/soccer-parents" rel="nofollow">http://onthepitch.org/talk/forum/soccer-parents</a> Yes - I know the forum navigation disappears in forums with no posts - side effect of the action hook I used to insert (it seems to return without applying filters when there are no posts - which I guess makes sense if you're figuring there's nothing to 'filter'. But many filers append :( ) This definitely makes navigation for my setup much easier. baptiste on "previous/next thread navigation" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/previousnext-thread-navigation#post-10577 Wed, 29 Aug 2007 16:30:49 +0000 baptiste 10577@http://bbpress.org/forums/ This is definitely worth doing. bbPress needs to have template functions that allow you to get the 'next' or 'previous' forum and topic. This would allow themes to include nice navigation links like 'Next Thread', 'Next Forum' instead of always having to jump to the front. Wordpress does this for posts. I've looked all around and I'm just not seeing anything like this. I'm going to mess around with some code - it looks like the BB_Walker has a stepping ability built in that SHOULD make this pretty trivial, but I'm still getting comfortable with the inner bbPress classes and such. I'll post here if I come up with anything. If anyone else has tried this or knows of a plugin that exists already - let me know. I couldn't find one. Again - this isn't pagination when you have lots of posts/threads. This is when you are in a topic or post view, being able to navigate to the next post, thread, or forum - i.e. like flipping pages of a book. _ck_ on "pagination - not seeing it?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pagination-not-seeing-it#post-8723 Fri, 06 Jul 2007 05:42:12 +0000 _ck_ 8723@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I've now learned that this is from posts being moderation.

Replace the code in there now with this. Set the last parameter to true if you want it to return an array of information. To use this you would use code like this: <pre><code><?php $mytopicnavarray = feltopicnav( '', '', ' ', true, true ); echo '<a href="' . $mytopicnavarray['next']['link'] . '">Click here to go to the next topic!</a>'; ?></code></pre> Use <code><?php felforumnav(); ?></code> to get the forum navigation in a similar way to the topic navigation. It's just a simple wrapper for what feltopicnav does, but it's a bit easier to see what it's supposed to do. Check the code for possible parameters. I won't submit this as a proper plugin because the code is awkward.
