    Most awesome quote of the day!

    This fix is not applied, and when I apply it to your CSS, the background is white as expected. If you cannot wait for the new theme, I think I would just make this minor change.

    I think you might have some things cached in your browser that is preventing you from seeing changes. Can you use a different browser, or a different computer, or clear your cache? I think once that’s done, you will see some problems fixed. Both this one and the JavaScript error appear fixed to me.

    Is it possible things are cached in your browser? I logged into your forum and I don’t see any JavaScript errors once logged in (or even before that.)

    It seems like this problem is fixed?

    Trunk means the error has been fixed in the code repository but it hasn’t been packaged into a new release yet.

    You can get the latest trunk code here:

    https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1428/branches/0.9?old_path=%2F&format=zip

    I have no idea if there are any problems with that release though. You only need one tiny fix for this problem.

    Also, it seems like you have a lot of interesting things going on with your installation based on the number of threads posted here. I suspect there is more going on than just a couple tiny, unrelated problems. If you can afford to do it without losing any work, you might want to try a fresh installation and start from scratch.

    I think my dislike of it started when tabbed browsers came around. There is no target="_newtab", and I want to control where the windows open. If I want it in a new tab or new window, I do that with my browser. Let me control it rather than specifying where it happens.

    I dislike it more on some days than others, not as much as I dislike <marquee> and <blink>, but I still tend to dislike it. It’s just a personal preference though. Here’s something related with a couple discussions linked to it:

    How about just adding background: #FFFFFF; to your css for #front-page #discussions?

    Ah, I see now. I wasn’t seeing the background image before. (EDIT)

    I did not lose the background in FF. Where is the white that is missing that you’re talking about? Your forum looks fine to me in IE6 and FF2.0.0.13.

    Here is the trac ticket:

    https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/851

    Looks like it’s fixed in the trunk release, but I haven’t seen a date for a new release yet.

    I was able to get it to display properly in IE6 by changing the CSS for the #frontpage #discussions.

    Old

    #front-page #discussions {
    margin-left: 170px;
    width: 590px;
    }

     

    New

    #front-page #discussions {
    float: right;
    width: 590px;
    }

     

    Basically, that change makes the #discussions div float to the right inside the #main div, rather than relying on the 170px of left margin. Not sure why IE6 does that and I didn’t investigate, but that fixed it for me. There might be other places you need to do that: I’m not sure. That was just for the home page of the forum.

    You are looking for integration then, to include WordPress bits in your bbPress.

    If you search this forum for integration or view topics tagged integration, you will find lots of integration advice. Here’s a good thread (started a while ago so some of the advice may not apply).

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Sam, that won’t work with Javascript turned off though, will it?

    That said, I think opening links in a new window or tab, based on browser configuration, is a bad idea anyway.

    Maybe the database you used for WordPress has a different collation, but WordPress didn’t care about the difference where bbPress does care and gives you an error?

    Do you have access to the database with something like phpMyAdmin?

    @chrishajer

    To make bbPress look like your WordPress theme, you are going to have to do some XHTML and CSS work with a new template for your bbPress forum. It doesn’t sound like you will need user integration, so you can skip that part of the installation/integration, but will will need to either include WordPress in bbPress to get access to your WordPress header and foot or manually add those items to your bbPress template.

    If you search this forum for integration or view topics tagged integration, you will find lots of integration advice. Here’s a good thread (started a while ago so some of the advice may not apply):

    There are also a couple WordPress forum plugins:

    http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/simple-forum/

    http://www.xdweb.net/wordpress/xdforum2/

    (might not work anymore with WordPress 2.5)

    Never tried either of those but they might be options instead of creating your own theme to make bbPress look like your WordPress installation.

    What kind of stuff will be in the sidebar? Is it a php file that exists somewhere on your server already? Do you have an example of what you’re looking to do?

    Crossed posts. :-) I found your ticket at trac after I suggested posting a new one there.

    Thanks.

    When I was not logged in, no errors. When logged in, I see a Javascript error:

    Error: favoritesToggle[1 === isFav ? "removeClass" : "addClass"] is not a function
    Source File: http://trashmedia.co.za/forums/bb-includes/js/topic-js.php?ver=20080401
    Line: 55

     

    I have a 0.9.0.1 installation and I checked there and I have the same exact same error.

    It looked like the error was related to favorites, so I figured I would mark something as a favorite and see if the error would go away, but it didn’t.

    There is already a ticket filed for this problem with a solution posted there as well:

    I have no idea what that is, but I can try and help until someone more knowledgeable comes along.

    Did you set any of these three lines to something different than the default in your bb-config.php:

    define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
    define('BBDB_COLLATE', '');
    define('BB_LANG', '');

     

    I found this online:

    What is your MySQL version?

    Add this to the header.php in your template:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" />

    Then, make sure you have a favicon.ico in your forum’s root directory. You could also put the favicon in another directory (like the website root folder) and reference it there like this <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" /> instead.

    How about a link to your forum so we can see it?

    Also, in what file is the “object doesn’t support this property or method”, on line 56, character 2.” error occurring?

    @chrishajer

    I think you would probably want to edit the template files to include those blocks of code from your static page into bbPress, not the other way around. bbPress needs to do its thing, but you can edit the template files and include the sidebar and header into the bbPress pages.
