In reply to: WP Visual Editor dissapears after integration
What line from your wp-config.php? I don’t think I’ve ever added a line there, but my install is getting a little old. What line of code are you referring to?
Can you check the source of the WP admin write page, to see if the icons SHOULD be there on display, or if anything else looks weird, maybe the path to the javascript?
In reply to: bbpress won’t installCan you add this line to your config.php right after the 4 MySQL setting lines:
$bb->debug = 1;That should provide some useful information. Not sure if it will help here though.
In reply to: bbpress won’t installDo you have an example of where this is happening?
Maybe there is something with a previous integrated installation that is fouling things up? A WP plugin maybe? Some data in a wp_ table that bbPress is trying to read?
In reply to: Using reflect_v3.phpDo you have a URL where it’s not working? I didn’t see any images on your site that I thought should have had one. Example?
In reply to: Subforums on frontpage — fel64?Line 55 has a typo:
enforeach; ?>should be
endforeach; ?>That takes care of the syntax error on line 60. I have no idea if the plugin works after that correction though.
In reply to: What’s integration?Yes, it’s been done:

These are old posts, but yes, it can be done. You might need to make some modifications to the linked scripts to make them work with your version of phpBB and bbPress.
But, it can be done, yes.
In reply to: web intergration need helpYou can put bbPress in a iframe if you want. Or you can do more integration and just use the style and header and footer from your wiki into a bbPress theme to make bbPress look like your wiki.
In reply to: Forum StructureExcellent. Thanks.
In reply to: Forum StructureI filed this bug: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/740
I guess ex is a valid CSS unit of measure, but I think it’s for height and was not intended here. Maybe a typo combination of em and px. Maybe…
In reply to: Forum StructureI found one problem in the CSS. On line 339 of style.css change this:
padding-left: 2.5ex;to this:
padding-left: 2.5em;That will take care of indenting the nested lists. Not sure if that is your problem or not, but it’s something.
Also, for creating your own theme, you might want the copy the files over to a theme folder under “my-templates”. Then you can switch back to stock if there is a problem, and your theme files will not be overwritten by any upgrades.
In reply to: Forum StructureWhat version bbPress are you using?
In reply to: Forum StructureI can only see an install with a bunch of markup errors there now. Did you install it fresh in another location?
Also, what is the expected layout of the forums? I can’t see what the hierarchy should be and can’t read German.

Should some of these be nested?
In reply to: Forum StructureCheck your markup here:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmonstrs.de%2Fstufo%2F
You have some invalidly nested tags, for starters.
In reply to: Forum StructureHow about a link to your forum so we can see why that might be happening? Looks like a list tag did not get closed, so the next list starts indented maybe.
In reply to: Show Recent bbPress Topic in WordPressIn reply to: using WYSIWYG (( your experience needed! ))1. No security problems most of the time. Every WYSIWYG editor I’ve seen allows the use of certain HTML code, and everything else is stripped away. With any piece of code, there can always be vulnerabilities, WYSIWYG or not. Without a WYSIWYG editor, there can still be cross site scripting and SQL injection errors.

2. Yes, it is used in large forums.
In reply to: VBulletin vs. bbPressIn reply to: Install service with HostI’m not quite sure I understand all the questions. It looks like the domain is now hosted with Netfirms (netfirms.com) – and the host has apache and PHP. I assume the package comes with MySQL as well? Can you link to the hosting package you have now for the domain? Even their cheapest package comes with MySQL 5 and phpMyAdmin…
Sounds like at the very least you are going to need to move the database from your Windows localhost to the new host (netfirms) and then update your config with the new database details.
Is that what you’re looking to do, move from a windows localhost install to a hosted apache/linux install?
In reply to: wpmu/bbpress logins work, forums don’t!Is there an .htaccess in the directory one level above? .htaccess rules are additive, I think. So if there is one in the directory one level up, those could be conflicting with the .htaccess you have in the community directory.
edit: sorry, I just reread all the notes you posted. I don’t understand enough about .htaccess to know what the problem is. SamBauers here has made several posts about .htaccess.
Here’s one:

In reply to: Installation problemLooks like this is wrong in your config.php:
$bb->uri = 'http://africanloft/forums/';should be:
$bb->uri = 'http://africanloft.com/forums/';Looks like you forgot the .com?
It’s also possible the
('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost')setting is wrong, but I saw the lack of a .com in the source for your page. None of the links on the index page work because they are all pointed to http://africanloft/forums/{whatever}In reply to: User Picture Gallery PluginNot for the bbPress forum as far as I know. There are lots of picture galleries available for blogs like WordPress:
http://www.google.com/search?q=wordpress+photo+gallery+plugin
(which integrates nicely with bbPress) and even standalone photo galleries:
http://www.google.com/search?q=php+photo+gallery
I don’t know of a plugin for bbPress so I think you’ll be integrating something else into your website.
In reply to: Problems With MYSQL (FIRST STEPS)1. I know nothing about hosting bbPress on a Windows server.
2. The one thing that stands out to me is “Client API version 3.23.49” – I think bbPress requires at least version 4.0 MySQL. The Client API version is not always the same as the MySQL version installed, but maybe the problem is due to an old MySQL version?
Do you have access to a control panel or a shell where you can access something like phpMyAdmin to check the actual MySQL version installed?
In reply to: Problems With MYSQL (FIRST STEPS)Can you post the output from phpinfo? That error message comes up when the installation cannot find either the mysql or mysqli extensions. It’s possible PHP was configured without those extensions.
Create a file (maybe name it info.php or anything.php) and put this into it:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>Go to the location of that file with a web browser (like http://www.yourserver.com/info.php) and that will echo a whole bunch of data back about the PHP installation.
That would be the first step, seeing if your PHP was compiled with the proper modules for MySQL.
In reply to: Profile ID transcends different bbpress installsAre all the installs using the same database, or in the config, is the table prefix different for each install? Should users be able to use one profile for all 3 different forums, or should they need different usernames and logins for each forum?
Just curious.
In reply to: User ID bugI don’t know the answer to the BIGINT and 32 bit signed stuff, but I do know this has happened before, sort of. Maybe this will help you sort it out. Basically, you need to reset the auto_increment user id to something sane. In the past, it happened on conversion from phpBB I think.
