In reply to: Searching your forum…
Seems pretty silly to me too. They could at least put that code in the template and comment it out if they don’t want it to appear, like you see in WordPress themes sometimes.
In reply to: first bbpress then WordPressYes, it’s possible. Since you have users already, you’re going to need to get those users set up as WordPress users so they can comment on your blog. You are going to need an integrated install, and I would recommend WordPress 2.5 and bbPress 0.9 when it comes out. Before that, it will just be painful.
In reply to: How to create Sticky Posts?Create the topic like normal, then as keymaster, click the edit link, and on the bottom under the reply form, are links to “Stick topic” or “Stick topic to front”. Click one and you’re done. As keymaster, you can do this for topics created by other people as well. I don’t believe there’s a way to do it when you create a new topic. You need to go in to edit the topic after creating it, then the links are there at the bottom of the page.

In reply to: I can’t access install.phpI saw your other post. You need to enable PHP on IIS. You should contact your host.
In reply to: IIS and phpIn reply to: WordPress Theme Into BBpressStart by sharing a link to your forum and describing how you would like it to look unless it’s completely obvious to anyone viewing exactly what is wrong with the positioning.
Thanks.
What does the content of your plugin look like, and what is the error you are getting when you try to activate it (do you have access to error logs)? Also, what version WordPress are you using( 2.3.3?)
In reply to: Cant register first Admin UserWhat are you entering there? And are you using a language file other that the default US English? Any plugins? Are you trying an integrated install with WordPress? What version bbPress and WordPress are you using (if you’re using WordPress at all)?
In reply to: plugin directoryEdit config-sample.php with your details, then save it as config.php. That’s the directory where you need to create the two directories I mentioned, my-plugins and my-templates.
In reply to: Broken integration with wp 2.5?Well, it was imminent 19 hours ago
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-084-release-date?replies=39#post-14842
It will be here soon enough. Hang in there.
In reply to: bbPress 0.9 release dateNot yet. There will be a big sticky at the top of the forum when it is released. Hang in there.
In reply to: Conditional tag?How about in your WordPress header.php try to wrap the breadcrumb call with something that happens only on bbPress pages. So, if your forum is in a directory called “forum” or something, maybe you could check the REQUEST_URI for the presence of
forum. Then you wouldn’t show the breadcrumbs if you were on a forum page. Something like that?In reply to: redesigned my forum section…Looks very nice, nice job.
I clicked on a link in one of the forums though, and Firefox wanted to open the file with WordPad rather than open in the browser. This was the link:
<a href="http://www.refueled.net/forum/topic.php?id=106">No Page Templates to Chose From?</a>PHP files normally open just fine for me on the Internet, this seemed sort of weird.
UPDATE: the second time I clicked the link, it opened fine in the browser. I always forget to take a screenshot when this happens since i figure it will just happen again. Oh well. Sometimes, I think Apache or PHP fail to parse the PHP files and they get sent through with the wrong mime type or something. I have had this happen once before where I saw the source of a PHP file, which would be bad, since there are sometimes passwords and connection details in there. Of course, I didn’t capture a screenshot of that either.
Anyway, your forum looks very nice. Nice job.
In reply to: PHP Error Messagessuleiman: please start a new thread with your specific problem listed there, with a link to your forum. Thanks.
In reply to: plugin directoryRight now, go ahead and create these two directories in the same folder where your config.php is:
my-templates
my-pluginsThen, put your plugins into the my-plugins directory. I think these bare directories should be included in the download package. Maybe there’s a good reason they’re not, but it just seems silly to me.
In reply to: Searching your forum…No plugin, just add this code wherever you want the search to appear (probably header.php):
<?php search_form( $q ); ?>I agree, this should be better documented. Or maybe it is documented and I just never read the docs.
In reply to: Conditional tag?Do you have a link to what you’re talking about?
Of course you can do a conditional in PHP, it’s just a matter of how you integrated things and if the functions are available between WordPress and bbPress.
What breadcrumb script are you using?
In reply to: Broken integration with wp 2.5?> Could this be a cookie issue with WP 2.5 (hashing method?)?
In reply to: I can’t access install.phpI can access this:
http://cialar.com/foro/bb-images/bbpress.png
Which means the files (at least that file) are there.
I can also access these and get directory listings:
http://cialar.com/foro/bb-admin/
That tells me that the index.php file in each directory is not getting processed by the web server. Looks like some sort of configuration problem with the server.
Can you put a simple file in the foro directory, call it info.php and put this into it:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>Then access that at http://www.cialar.com/foro/info.php. See what that tells you. If that is not processed by the web server, then it’s a problem with the server, not bbPress.
I don’t have a lot of experience on an IIS server, so there may be something simple I’m not familiar with that would cause this.
I am guessing PHP is not enabled here:
http://www.cialar.com/foro/ (IP: 74.208.22.70)
It is however enabled here:
http://www.foro.cialar.com/ (IP: 74.86.125.241)
Those are two completely different machines. The one where phpBB is now is a Linux/Apache machine with PHP 5.2.5. The cialar.com one if IIS.
I am pretty sure this is a configuration thing with your server, and where you have bbPress installed does not support PHP.
In reply to: I can’t access install.phpShare the URL and see if someone can help you.
In reply to: A question about ‘inactive’ members.I *believe* someone becomes inactive only if you mark them inactive. You can change the user status by going to their profile page, then clicking the edit tab, as keymaster.
I’ve never seen it happen automatically. And, on the edit tab of the profile page, there is a description on the bottom of what blocked and inactive mean.
Inactive users can login and look around but not do anything.
Blocked users just see a simple error message when they visit
the site.
Note: Blocking a user does not block any IP addresses.In reply to: Plugin: Avatar UploadThis was mentioned before and covered in the forums. I can’t find it now, but basically it enforced a min height for the reply so it would never be shorter than the avatar.

Yes, yes I do. If someone wants to help, they will take 30 seconds out of their day to register. It’s not like you roam the Internet looking for random support forums with unanswered questions and then when you have the answer, you see you can’t just type in the answer without registering, so you run away. I think people tend to have a few places they check in with daily, in their area of interest or expertise, and they register there if they’re going to spend any time there. It’s not a big deal. I mean, really.
In reply to: Allow Images Plugin doesn’t workYou need a plugin to post images because bbpress out of the box is very lightweight. Many forums don’t want or need images, so that functionality comes in the form of a plugin. For example, the largest bbPress installation ( https://wordpress.org/support/ ) doesn’t allow images.
If you post a link to your forum and possibly a little better description of what you are doing, what happens, and what you expected to happen, maybe someone can help you.
In reply to: Hyperlinks ‘a href’ tag not working in postsCan you post a link to your forum?
Are you using a language file other than English?
