oh, this is with bbpress 1.0 and wordpress 2.7
i had the same issue, but it turned out that bbpress had not written any of the key info to bb-config.php, despite me specifying this on installation. i added this manually and it worked:
define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘wp-auth-key’);
define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘wp-secure-auth-key’);
define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘wp-logged-in-key’);
define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘wp-nonce-key’);
define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘wp-secret-key’);
define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘(wp-auth-salt’);
define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘wp-logged-in-salt’);
the first four are in wp-config.php and the second two are in the options page of the wordpress admin menus.
i just changed the link in login-form.php
i just changed the ‘register’ link at the top of the page to point to WP. seems to work OK…
i would really like to know how to do this for the first and last poster in a thread. i have tried messing about and developing the above suggestions but i can’t get my queries right. can anyone help? the site above is down so i don’t think i will get a response from the user!
update: the queries above worked fine with a bit of manipulation (i guess the table layouts on both systems have changed a bit since the above were written, so the number of fields didn’t match in some cases). i didn’t need to update the slugs or use the second bit of code for post freshness – it just worked.
thanks – in the end i used a PHP redirect on front-page.php which seems to be working fine. i moved the tags and other sections from front-page.php to forum.php which worked (doing it the other way around didn’t work).
thanks for replying.
a-ha – i’ve managed to do this but now i just need a way to safely redirect users to the forum rather than the front page.
has anyone got any further with this yet? i’m moving from vanilla to bbpress today and i’d really like to bring all the vanilla threads with me.
this css works in IE6.
.post {
min-height: 150px;
height:auto !important;
height:150px;
}
.threadauthor {
margin-left: -100px;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
max-height: 150px;
height:auto !important;
height:150px;
width: 100px;
}
obviously change the sizes to fit.
this is working great; however, the CSS doesn’t seem to work in IE6? i think the images aren’t being trimmed horizontally, so anything that’s too tall just overlaps the picture for the user below it.
where is this option supposed to appear? i have uploaded the plugin into my-plugins but i see no changes.
thirded – the people i’m moving over from phorum are really into this feature.
thanks for the instructions. unfortunately it doesn’t work for me.
on the page you linked to, there are two pieces of advice as to where to put the editor files:
“create a directory in the root directory called “editor” and then upload the same directory from their download page. Then drop the .js files into your root, and place the fckeditor.php file where ever you want (i chose the my-templates directory) and call it accordingly.”
or
“unrar FCKeditor_2.3.2.zip into my-templates”
Wherever I put it, it doesn’t seem to work. I have tried a directory within my-templates, dropping it directly into my-templates, and putting the relevant files in the root with my-templates holding the PHP file. In all cases I edited the path in the replacement code accordingly.
I think it’s including the PHP file OK, but I guess there is an iframe where the FCKEditor box should be, and that is just pulling the home page of my site (i.e. a 404 error, as far as I can tell).
This isn’t a great solution. For those of us who are not in the same timezone as our server, the board times are inaccurate even though the ‘freshness’ problem is solved.
There must be a way to correct this, surely it would just be a case of adding the difference in hours back on to the time? Can anyone suggest where and how to replace this code?
It will definitely make our board confusing for people if all the times are seven hours out.
