In reply to: PHPBB3 Converstion
I don’t know of a better way right now.
In reply to: New Installation ProblemNice video (what tool did you use to record it?)
What we really need though, at the end, is for you to check the box “show installation messages” to reveal the installation error messages.
But I think the forum installed fine. I am curious about how the plugin installation went.
Also, what are you using for a localhost server, and also, are you using a language other than English?
In reply to: INSERT queries for new Topic and new PostSounds like both of you are on IIS web servers?
In reply to: bbpress inside wordpress ?Have you read this?
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func
That allows you to use WordPress functions (like get_sidebar, get_header) inside bbPress.
There’s no way I know of to load bbPress in a WordPress page, or anything like that. It’s not a WordPress plugin.
In reply to: New Installation ProblemI think the important thing missing here is what the “minor errors” were. Did you happen to check the box to reveal what the errors might have been?
The installation of bbPress looks like it went fine otherwise. How was the plugin installation? Anything abnormal?
In reply to: New Installation ProblemIt looks like plugin is just not working at all. It’s not converting those tags to embed the image.
I have a 0.9.0.2 installation and I just downloaded the allow images plugin. I activated it. I posted your image exactly as you typed it. It shows up fine. Not sure what is going on with your forum.

I don’t think there’s any how to written for the complete process. You could be the first.
In reply to: New Installation ProblemWhat is the image link you were trying to post? And also, please post a link to your forum. Thanks.
In reply to: New Installation ProblemCreate the directory/folder called “my-plugins” right at the same level as bb-plugins. You can also create a folder called “my-templates” at the same time. You might need that.
Then, put your plugins in the my-plugins folder and activate the plugin in the bbPress admin.
Does the plugin show up in the bbPress admin? If it does, can you activate it, or does it error out? If it errors out, what’s the error?
If it shows up there and you can activate it fine, then how are you trying to use it?
In reply to: Second Page Gone!Actually, trying to access the same URL from another client at the same IP (wget vs. Firefox, where the 503 was first seen) also works. Why would the server return a 503 to one client and not the other at the same IP?
In reply to: Second Page Gone!In testing this, the host, Dreamhost, suggested turning off mod_security, which was done, but the errors persist.
One thing I cannot understand: when accessing this URL:
http://harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/topic.php?id=9&page=2
Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Sometimes it gives a 503 error, service not available. However, when that happens, the main site on the same server still loads fine:
Also, accessing this URL from another computer (at another location):
http://harrismarine.co.nz/bbpress/topic.php?id=9&page=2
is possible. So, why would a 503 error be served to some clients and not others, at the same time?
In reply to: Bulk and filter delete topics?Oh OK, bulk delete topics, to get rid of the old ones.
I only know of this “mass delete” plugin for posts, not complete topics.
In reply to: Page 63 of 1This is sort of interesting in your footer too:
1949 posts in 139 topics over 473 months by 26 of 23 members.In reply to: Page 63 of 1Do you have an example of a page where this is happening? I can’t find one on your forum.
In reply to: Bulk and filter delete topics?Not clear on what you mean here. Please elaborate.
In reply to: Installation Error – call to undefined functionIf you’re not trying to integrate then the WordPress version does not matter.
I installed 0.9.0.2 a while back and did not have that problem. Glad you got 1.0-Alpha working.
In reply to: Problem deleting postsI don’t think the problem is with deleting a whole topic when there’s only one post in it. The problem as I understand it is that when deleting the only post in a topic, this error occurs.
I just verified that this occurs on a trunk installation (r1794) if you try to delete the only post of a topic.
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homepages/46/d93980635/htdocs/trunk/bb-includes/functions.php on line 527That was my point a couple posts ago. bbPress should handle this, or remove the option to delete the post if it’s the only post on a topic, but in reality, administrators should be deleting the whole topic, not the only post in that topic. When you delete the only post of a topic, what are you expecting to be left over?
The post is gone, and the thread no longer shows up in the front page forum list, but I think bbPress or the administrator could be smarter about how to accomplish what we’re really trying to do here.
In reply to: Installation Error – call to undefined functionWordPress 2.6.2 and bbPress 0.9.0.2 are not compatible with cookies and logins. But I don’t think that would create this problem. Are you trying to have integrated users and logins between WordPress and bbPress?
Also, re: bb-config-sample.php, the web installer can take care of modifying the sample file and creating a bb-config.php. It didn’t used to do that, but it can take care of it now.
In reply to: CSS files. . .Do you still need help? I was unclear with your recent message.
In reply to: Problem deleting postsIf you are deleting the only post in a topic, you should probably be deleting the whole topic, not just the post. I can see that bbPress should probably catch that, but if you delete the topic rather than the post, does it error out?
Why would you delete the only post in a topic? What would be left?
In reply to: New Installation ProblemMy guess is that there is a problem in your bb-config.php on the line right before line 28. The problem shows up on line 28 because the previous line doesn’t have the proper syntax. I think the problem is in the line with the BB_SECRET_KEY – maybe you have a single quote or back slash in there that’s not properly escaped. If you use a text editor that has syntax highlighter, you should be able to see the problem with the syntax.
Also, what version of bbPress did you install?
In reply to: CSS files. . .Yes, please keep your modifications restricted to files in the template folder. If you think you need to modify something outside that folder, it’s probably already possible with a plugin. If it’s not possible with a plugin, you’re getting into modifying the bbPress core, which is a very bad idea for keeping up with new releases.
I recommend copying all the stock theme files over to a new theme and then modify those files. That way, you can always refer back to the original if you break something, or you can even revert to the stock theme if you really break something.

Or this more recent explanation:

In reply to: 1.0 alpha 2/WordPress 2.6.2 : usernames with spacesI say “why restrict the characters in the login?” I would vote to leave them in. Most people won’t use them, especially if they’ve been around for a while and are used to no spaces in usernames. But why arbitrarily limit the characters in the username?
In reply to: CSS files. . .I recommend the web developer toolbar add on for Firefox. It will let you change font sizes and colors on the fly temporarily, then, when you’re done, you can make those changes permanent in your style.css.

Regarding the display of items on your forum, either to add to them or remove from them, I usually search through the files in my template folder for a specific piece of text that’s being displayed. Normally, that shows you right where the template is generating that, and you can either remove it or add to it there. That’s a start.
In reply to: New Topic NotificationDid you try installing it? Since bbPress is beta software and has undergone lots of changes in the past year, a lot of the early plugins don’t work without modification.
There was a reply recently by sambauers about subscribing yourself to the new posts feed and front page feed (I think) via an RSS to email service like Feedblitz. Then you could get notification in your email rather than RSS.
I think the creators of bbPress have gone down the path of RSS rather than email, for notifications. Adding back in the functionality for delivery via email is most likely going to always be via a plugin. Just my opinion.
