In reply to: How to edit CSS of forum?
Find the elements in the page that you wish to apply new styles to, then add those styles to the style.css in your bbPress template folder.
I find the web developer toolbar by Chris Pederick invaluable for this sort of thing. You can hover over the item, find out the class or ID, then edit the CSS while still viewing the page. Then, once it does what you want, make the edit permanent in your style.css.
In reply to: Main content won’t centerWhat exactly are you trying to center? I see the layout is centered in the browser viewport now. What other items are you trying to center?
Can you take a screenshot and draw some arrows or lines showing where you want things moved? You can host it at photobucket or imageshack if you need to post a link to it.
In reply to: Design ChangeI think you want to move (or remove) this piece of code in topic.php of your template file:
<?php topic_tags(); ?>Removing that removes the tags for a topic. Then, just put it where you want it to get the tags back.
In reply to: Password change with 2.5I think you might want to get on IRC and try to raise sambauers.

I’m not sure what the best bbPress revision is for using WordPress 2.5RC1. I think when WordPress 2.5 comes out, there will be a new bbPress release to match up with it. I know WordPress 2.5 was scheduled for March 10th but that’s been held up just a little bit.
In reply to: how to inset avatarFrom the readme file:
=================================
3. To display an uploaded avatar, insert the following template function.
a) On the user’s profile page (
profile.phptemplate).<?php avatarupload_display($user->ID); ?>This grabs the avatar info file directly from the current user’s profile information.
b) On each user’s forum posts (
post.phptemplate)<?php avatarupload_display(get_post_author_id()); ?>You can include the avatar anywhere else you like, just be sure to have the user’s ID available.
=================================
You would insert one of those pieces of code in a template file wherever you want the avatar to appear. Try one and see how it works.
In reply to: No Input Specified.You need to determine if your host supports an .htaccess file, and if it does, you need to know if it supports mod_rewrite in the file. Maybe your host has a support page where you can find that information out. Since your website is running on Apache, it is possible you can use mod_rewrite and pretty permalinks or slugs.
Did you already try both methods of setting up permalinks described here?
In reply to: Install.php: Have not enabled CGIIs it possible the files were corrupted upon uploading? Seems like it’s a server configuration thing, not even related to PHP or CGI. You should be able to view this file, for example, but you cannot:
http://www.kreativoase.at/taufkerze/forum/bb-images/bbpress.png
In fact, it’s an internal server error code 500, but the server is configured to show this error message, which might be misleading. If you have access to error logs, that will help determine what’s causing the 500 error.
If it’s something applying to that directory and all lower lever directories, maybe there is a problem with the .htaccess file (if you are using one) in the forum directory. Do you have a proper .htaccess file? Please post the content here. I am starting to think an error in the .htaccess file is the problem for it to cause a 500 error on the forum directory or any subdirectory you try to access.
Permalinks on false is good.
bbPress does not need its own database, but it does need a database, and the table prefix will be bb_ by default. So long as that doesn’t conflict with any other tables you already have, it’s OK to use an existing database.
You said you were not using pretty permalinks, but you most definitely ARE using them.
This is a link to one of your topics:
http://www.eidolonai.com/forum/topic/62
If you were not using permalinks, the link would look like this:
http://www.eidolonai.com/forum/topic.php?id=62&page&replies=1#whatever-post-number-anchor (with some additional stuff at the end for replies and post number)
Try accessing this URL:
http://www.eidolonai.com/forum/topic.php?id=62
It gets rewritten to http://www.eidolonai.com/forum/topic/62 and that fails.
So, do you have mod_rewrite set to true in config.php? If so, turn it off until you can get rewrite rules in place that will work with GoDaddy.
By turn it off I mean
$bb->mod_rewrite = false;(no quotes around false)In reply to: Will PAY to get our forum fixedPlease contact me off list at a contact listed on the website in my profile, or just google my nickname and you will find me. I hope I can help you.
1. You say the conversations are there. How do you know (phpMyAdmin or something to verify they are still in the database)?
2. Can you post a URL to the site? Maybe something on your host changed and is working differently now (like they upgraded PHP or something, or changed the Apache configuration to allow overrides in the .htaccess, and that started working all of the sudden or something).
In reply to: There is any plugin to Hide Links?In reply to: There is any plugin to Hide Links?Akismet (included currently, but being moved to a plugin, I believe) takes care of users abusing too many links in their posts. Other than that, I don’t know of a plugin.
In reply to: from wordpress plugin, bb-load.php causes blank pageWithout a link to your forum or an example of the plugin code, it’s going to be hard to help. The blank screen is almost certainly a 500 error, so it should be logged somewhere, depending on your server configuration.
If you disable the plugin and everything works, you know the problem is with the plugin. So, you need to fix that. Without posting the plugin, it will be hard for anyone to help you fix it.
In reply to: Trunk 0.9 Install ErrorDid you see this post by sambauers?
In reply to: Out of the box error 0.8.3.1 in install.phpLooks like you have some cruft in one of the files you uploaded or edited. Or possibly this is something with character encoding? Did you set
('BBDB_COLLATE', '');and/or('BBDB_CHARSET', '');?In reply to: Cookie Domain Settings?I think if you wait until bbPress 0.9 is released and integrate it with WordPress 2.5, things will be a lot easier.

In reply to: Complete WordPress Integration!I think if you wait until bbPress 0.9 comes out, integration with WordPress 2.5 will be much easier, according to sambauers.
In reply to: Gap in images in tableWrap the whole thing, from beginning to end, in a div with this style:
<div style="width: 800px; margin: 0 auto;">Put that before the beginning table tag, and then close it after the ending </table> tag.
You can separate the style from the template html by calling the div something like
<div id="wrapper">in your template then adding this to your style.css:#wrapper {
width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
}In either case, the margin is 0 top and bottom, and auto left and right, which means it will be centered horizontally in the browser no matter what the size of the browser viewport.
In reply to: Gap in images in tableWell, when I validate the page, there are errors around line 318 which is where a bunch of td/tr/table end tags are located. The fact that they are improperly nested (i.e. they are closed here but are not open) means they were probably improperly closed (or not closed) elsewhere.
But, just adding the
style="display: block;"to the <img> tags as sambauers suggested should take care of it without you having to fix the improper code. It should look fine when you do that and replace the stylesheet reference.In reply to: Gap in images in tableSo, you changed something but it’s still not fixed? The page still does not validate and the markup is still incorrect. The nested tables you have now make it even MORE difficult to fix.
I think until you fix your markup it is going to be difficult to elicit free help. My first piece of advice is to fix the markup. In the process, you may discover why it’s doing this.
Good luck.
In reply to: Unable to install need help!Only you can help you install this, or you will need to find someone you trust with a control panel login. If you are getting a “Cannot select DB” error, it’s because your connection details are wrong. We cannot see the connection details and instructions for your host, and you posting them here is a bad idea. Posting an edited config does not help either.
If you would like to contact me I can help off list (check the link in my profile and find an email address there). I will need a control panel login and access to the config.php on your server (shell, FTP or some sort of file manager.)
In reply to: Gap in images in tableWhich gaps are you talking about specifically? I see just one between the header and the forums, maybe. Then maybe between the top and those side images as well.
1. Don’t use tables for layout, use divs if you can.
2. Validate your layout CSS and HTML and fix those problems first.
http://validator.w3.org/ (XHTML needs some work)
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ (CSS is OK)
3. Looks like there was some cutting and pasting going on. The main problem, I think, is that there are tags for two tables there, but the top table (with this image gregjamesforum_01.jpg) is not really marked up as a table. There are no row and table data tags. So, that’s invalid. Then, a new table is started below. That’s why there’s a gap.
I would fix the improper markup and then put everything in one table (if you are going to continue using tables) so there is no gap between the two tables. That’s why there’s a gap beneath that top image right now.
Also, there is nothing in your problem that is specific to bbPress, so you can seek support at any CSS/HTML forum as well if there’s not enough help forthcoming here.
In reply to: WordPress posting messed up after installSounds like the blank pages are a 500 Internal Server Error pages (maybe.) Do you have access to error logs to confirm if that’s the case and possibly see what the error is?
In reply to: WordPress posting messed up after installDid you accidentally upload the bbPress files to the WordPress directory, then change it to a subdirectory later? I can’t think of why WordPress would be messed up after installing bbPress into a subdirectory.
What versions of WordPress and bbPress are you using?
In reply to: WordPress posting messed up after installDid you modify the root .htaccess file that would apply to WordPress?
Also, what at the other form errors you are getting when activating/deactivating plugins (and do you mean WordPress or bbPress plugins?)
