    Thanks. I’ll keep on trying. I’m not using wordpress though, it’s a 100% custom system integrated with bbpress. I’m sure it’ll turn out to be something stupid from my part.

    Nope. Doesn’t work With or without database interaction.

    @benbeltran

    Member

    Yeah. I mean, that’s why I think it’s odd. I tried to add some dummy text to the db and then to do what you just posted. But it didn’t work. Must check why. It’s really weird, since the other actions work properly.

    @benbeltran

    Member

    Yeah… apparently add_action('bb_tag_added', 'status_tags_update',100,3); won’t work. I don’t think the action is running. Which is odd.

    I’ll keep on looking, any new help is appreciated. And thanks for the tip.

    I hope it helps somehow. In my opinion, this is the best forum software if you’re a developer that wants custom forums and doesn’t mind getting dirty with code. At least that’s why I love it (I know, people will disagree with me).

    I’ve never felt so in control of my forums before :). Everything is just … clean, from the default UI to the insides.

    I’ve done this but I use the bbpress database. If you can make a relationship between the bbpress database and your user database I’m sure you can work something.

    @benbeltran

    Member

    Sure thing… Right now I use a different database, but I’m going to change it to work with users_meta. Nothing hard. I’ll send you a message when I do ;)

    @ __ck__: I was planning on tackling this, since I just love OpenID. But it would be nice to also offer support for phpMyID (http://siege.org/projects/phpMyID/). That’s what I use to make my own domain, my openID.

    @Staffan: I moved the post content div to the right (with margin-left) and then applied a border. Then I used a little triangular image (the part that makes the bubble effect) and displaced it to the left (using background-position). It’s pretty much just CSS.

    Err. Sorry about the double post. Functions are recognized properly now -_- I had a dumb mistake (It’s surprising what a little sleep can do for you).

    The thing is, I can’t get the functions to recognize the user as being logged in. Will I have to do something similar to what people do to integrate with wp?

    @benbeltran

    Member

    because I called inexistant functions. The includes went on properly.

    @benbeltran

    Member

    yeah. I actually tried that, but It didn’t recognize any functions. D:. Even tried including the functions, template-functions, pluggable, etc files on their own. Still nothing.

    And I tried searching for the cookie parameters, but I’m dumb and I was sleepy, couldn’t do a thing.

    Will the thread be changing? or is it just constant? If it’s constant, you definitely want a guestbook XD

    It seems to be an .htaccess conflict … check your rules.

    Firefox gave you a virus? or something you downloaded with firefox?

    Anyway, It’s not really about what browser you use, even if you use FF, a lot of people will use Internet Explorer. So you have to make your CSS work with both.

    Developing with firefox is easier, specially with firebug, web developer and IETab extensions. You might want to give those a spin with your firefox.

    Well, you’d have to edit bbpress’s theme so it suits your website.

    I use a lot of Plugins, some I’ve edited myself. I haven’t checked for new versions in some time, so I may be out of date :p.

    * Upload Avatar Plugin

    * Allow Images

    * Signature Plugin (edited to allow images)

    * Quote (edited to display who you’re quoting)

    * BB Emoticons (with tango emoticons)

    * Fix Auto-Close

    * No ?replies

    * Front Page Topics

    * BBCode for BBPress (We encourage use of regular markup, but we have this option available to our users).

    * Comment Quicktags

    * Show Post Count

    * Fix BBpress

    * Online List

    * Page Links

    * Indicate New Posts

    * BBPress Private Messaging

    * TDP Badges (A custom plugin I made to give out badges to our users depending on their taste in games and their accomplishments).

    I hacked some code to allow a color changing tag-cloud. I guess that’s it.

    Try Using XAMPP, it works for windows :)

    @benbeltran

    Member

    @_ck_: Wasn’t there a plugin already to change the style unread posts? I think it could be easily adapted.

    but then again,

    @Trent: Good work :P

    Practice makes perfect and you have a great headstart. I’ll talk with my associate about shell access and everything and see if we can reach a nice agreement :)

    Wow. It’s surprising how many sites are using bbpress, I thought there were much less. I hope some of these micro-forums (including mine) benefit from this. More awareness of the software is good for everyone who uses it.

    @benbeltran

    Member

    ahh, I see :) It’s nice. Well, if you ever need hosting, do contact me. That’s the least I could do for the best bbpress plugin coder :D.

    @airdrawndagger: Thanks :D I’m glad it made you switch to this great software.

    @vlp: Sorry, I didn’t quite understand. The page number, like for every page on the forum that’s displayed on the front page? If it’s that, there’s a plugin for that :o… but I get the feeling that’s not what you meant.

    @baptiste: I like the blue theme from baptiste.us … :) Though maybe the blue text should be a bit clearer when its on blue backgrounds.

    @benbeltran

    Member

    Why don’t you edit the theme to display it the way you want? That’s what I did.

    And you can add custom profile fields easily too. Maybe a plugin to add custom profile fields more easily would be nice.

    hmm, good find _ck_! I hope they fix it soon.
