The box shows and you can enter everything, but clicking submit just sends you back to the index with no changes. Any help?</p> <p>I just tested removing the line "require('/var/www/html/wp-blog-header.php');" in config, and it works again, so that fix you gave works, this is another issue caused by integration. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-not-displaying#post-18303 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:01:43 +0000 holloway 18303@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Yeah one thing seems to be it stops access to the admin panel. Its listed on the nav section, but clicking it bounces you back to the index. Whilst bearable, I expect there are other issues (like profile editing) so would you happen to have any idea how to correct this?</p> <p>Thanks for all your help this far!</p> <p>Edit: Yup it breaks posting too.

Is the fact it doesn't retrieve the primitive capability first an issue for running the board? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-not-displaying#post-18295 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:37:15 +0000 bendalton 18295@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>In retrospect... that fixed the issue, but I'm pretty sure the issue is in the capabilities file bb_current_user_can does not reference the bb_map_meta_cap to retrieve primitive capability... </p> <p>so, my solution works, but the bb_current_user_can should be able to retrieve the primitive capability first. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-not-displaying#post-18290 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:44:04 +0000 bendalton 18290@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I had the EXACT same problem...</p> <p>In bb_includes/template-functions.php</p> <p>there were several references to bb_user_can 'write-post' and 'write-topic'... however, when comparing this to the capabilities.php doc in bb_includes/backpress/capabilities.php, these capabilities are defined with the strings in plural: 'write-posts' and 'write-topics'... in the template_functions.php doc, I changed all the references... and now all is peachy! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-not-displaying#post-18277 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 03:35:26 +0000 chrishajer 18277@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Very odd. I can see what you're talking about now. There is the &lt;h2&gt;Reply&lt;/h2&gt; but then something goes wrong.</p> <p>This is in the source:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;h2 class=&quot;post-form&quot;&gt;New Topic&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- If you like showing off the fact that your server rocks, &lt;h3&gt;0.150 - 15 queries&lt;/h3&gt; --&gt;</code></pre> <p>&nbsp;<br /> Looks like bbPress has it until the <code>&lt;h2 class=&quot;post-form&quot;&gt;New Topic&lt;/h2&gt;</code> part, then WordPress takes over for some reason. At least it looks like that's what's happening. If you look at the source of the page you'll see what I mean.</p> <p>Sorry I don't know what's causing the problem, but it's interesting to look at nonetheless. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-not-displaying#post-18269 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 22:52:16 +0000 holloway 18269@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Well I fixed that, must have been a bug in the original skin. The issue is apparent on all skins- I've just reinstalled the default skin and set that as the current skin if you can have a look.</p> <p>I'm really at a loss as to what is causing it to cut off :s. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-not-displaying#post-18260 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:34:27 +0000 chrishajer 18260@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Why is this listed as a stylesheet in the source? It gives a 404 then includes the whole WordPress page as a stylesheet:</p> <p><code>&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk/oldboards/my-templates/bbpress-forum/style2.css?v=8&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; /&gt;</code><br /> &nbsp;</p> <p>I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it's not right.</p> <p>Also, does the problem you're describing happen with the stock template as well? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-not-displaying#post-18254 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:46:03 +0000 holloway 18254@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Oh, sorry, yes I did until I can get this working.

I'm running 1.0, however it may not be solely an issue caused by 1.0. I've noticed that whenever the line "require('/var/www/html/wp-blog-header.php'); " is in my config file, the new topic/ post form will not display. On the topic listings and in threads it will simply have the header (eg: New Topic in this Forum) and nothing below it and accessing the new topic page directly just returns a white blank page. </p> <p>For reference, my board is <a href="http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk/boards" rel="nofollow">http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk/boards</a> and I currently have the line in my config so you can see the new topic issue. Obviously this kills any chance of integration until this is resolved.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/replacing-punbb-and-adsense#post-16681 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 09:54:50 +0000 iam123 16681@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>yes its difficult:( </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/replacing-punbb-and-adsense#post-16674 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:09:26 +0000 jmurphee 16674@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>i am trying to use the K2 theme on a website I'm working on. i had punBB integrated with it with an event calendar.

Yeah, that PunBB 1.3 has been in the works for some time. Interesting take on the pitfalls of email notification. Never thought of it that way. That Joel Spolsky article had some great points in it. </p> <p>Definitely leaning towards bbPress at this point... </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-versus-punbb#post-13113 Sat, 12 Jan 2008 17:23:20 +0000 chrishajer 13113@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Regarding email notification, I would read this for an alternate opinion:</p> <p>"Q. Could you make a feature where I check a box that says "email me if somebody replies to my post?"</p> <p>A. This one feature, so easy to implement and thus so tempting to programmers, is the best way to kill dead any young forum. Implement this feature and you may never get to critical mass. Philip Greenspun's LUSENET has this feature and you can watch it sapping the life out of young discussion groups.</p> <p>Why?</p> <p>What happens is that people go to the group to ask a question. If you offer the "notify me" checkbox, these people will post their question, check the box, and never come back. They'll just read the replies in their mailbox. The end.</p> <p>If you eliminate the checkbox, people are left with no choice but to check back every once in a while. And while they're checking back, they might read another post which looks interesting. And they might have something to contribute to that post. And in the critical early days when you're trying to get the discussion group to take off, you've increased the "stickiness" and you've got more people hanging around, which helps achieve critical mass a lot quicker."</p> <p>That's from Joel Spolsky: <a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/BuildingCommunitieswithSo.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/BuildingCommunitieswithSo.html</a></p> <p>Regarding RSS to email, there are lots of services that will do that if you want. Feedblitz and Feedburner come to mind, but a Google search turns up lots of results as well:<br /> <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=RSS+to+email" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/search?q=RSS+to+email</a></p> <p>Or, you could explain to your members how to use RSS. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-versus-punbb#post-13110 Sat, 12 Jan 2008 06:02:34 +0000 erissiva 13110@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I had used punBB for a while and really liked it - except for the really long amount of time that it takes to update the software. They've been working on v1.3 for years now. That's the version I've been waiting for.</p> <p>punBB seems to be more robust, but the code is a little more sketchy. bbPress is more simplistic but the plugin system makes a pretty good addition. Another thing about punBB that bothered me is that topics aren't marked as read when you read them - your cookie has to expire before a topic is marked. They have an addon for that, but all the addons rely on editing a lot of files and also is very heavy on the database.</p> <p>For right now, I'm sticking with bbPress and seeing how everything will end up. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-versus-punbb#post-13107 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 22:39:55 +0000 trex33 13107@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I've finally narrowed down my forum choices to bbPress and Punbb. I love the speed and simplicity of bbPress but am struggling with this decision. Integration with Wordpress is not an issue for me. </p> <p>Does anyone have experience with both bbPress and PunBB? Which do you prefer and why? (I've compared both over at forummatrix.org to no avail)</p> <p>My biggest concern with bbPress is the lack of email notification. Many users have no idea what RSS feed is. IMO, thread subscription is critical to forum's success. I did see there was plugin for email notification. Are there plans to make email notification standard for bbpress? Does plugin do the trick? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/question-about-exporting-from-bbpress#post-5765 Fri, 23 Mar 2007 11:42:12 +0000 maker 5765@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I have an old wordpress blog I would like to export into bbpress - is this possible? </p> <p>I would settle for posts and comments but users would be good too. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/website-integration#post-5366 Sat, 10 Mar 2007 20:43:11 +0000 Trent 5366@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You can set the bbPress cookies to whatever you want to integrate with your site's cookies.
