My button says “Update Profile”, but I assume you are pressing the same _button_ (not a link) in the bottom right anyway? It works for me.

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

No, not really. It seems likely to me (as an outsider) that a regular upgrade process will continue to work for you.

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

It means that your bb and wp aren’t integrated properly to use one set of functions. You need to put require('path/to/wp') into your bb config file.

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

I’m not sure what’s going on but it’s probably a bug. It’ll be best if you report exactly what you did on https://trac.bbpress.org/.

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

Try using a grepping utility. After a while you’ll also got a feel for which functions are where (template functions are usually in bb-includes/template-functions.php).

The value of the function is not necessarily empty. It provides a hook for plugins and gives stickies the css sticky class.

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

The best way to find out is to look in the files really.

XML-RPC sounds fairly interesting; I’d like to see what you’ll do with it apart from pingbacks. Content aggregation sounds good too. Is there anything you can say about backPress, though? Do you have any idea for when you’ll maybe be splitting it into BackPress and bbPress?

(why does dev use a 1990’s-style mailing list for it’s own *forum* software?)

Because while forum software is a communication medium it’s not necessarily the right one for development talk. But you’ve brought it up many times now; maybe time to give it a rest?

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

global $bb;

if( isset( $bb ) ) {

//...

}

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

And woop, backpress.

backPress: BOOM! this will break *everything*

Take any plugin that modifies post text and change it to run a preg_replace over the text.

I think one could add some PHP code in the topic page loop to parse the /uploads folder for folders whose names match the numbers of the post id’s displayed on that page, if-then display links to any files contained within those folders, if-not, then don’t.

Probably more expedient to just check if folders with any of the post-ids as name exist; if then the operating system or whatever has to run through the entire folder to look, at least you’re handing the task to someone competent.

If you want this done, I suggest you look at some PHP examples and do it. The hard part of programming is not knowing the language, but figuring out the solution.

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

You need to have wordpress and bbpress more fully integrated, that is, require wordpress before bbpress is run in bb’s config.php file. I think all that is in that link, under the last section.

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

You do need a localisation file, but if one doesn’t come with the topic it’s typically the sort of thing you can do for yourself.

Some wp themes let you set the colour scheme in the admin panel (Mandigo for one), but it’s a fairly simple task to open the style.css file and change the hex colour-codes (once you understand what they are).

Having bb as a subdirectory of wp is a good start but it’s not necessary as far as I know. My wp install is in a folder /wordpress/, while bb is in the forums subdomain. This should be everything you need to know on integration: https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

It doesn’t matter what theme you use, you can localise your installs of bbpress and wordpress to translate everything to Swedish. Sandbox is a commonly used theme starting point but I’d just start with whatever looks most similar to the end-effect you want to achieve.

Do you have any questions about what you’re trying to do?

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

Is the tag count adjusted? If you have less active tags than tags shown in the hot tags list, tags with 0 topics will be shown. (Not that it isn’t a bug.) Take it to https://trac.bbpress.org/.

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

I’d certainly not have anything other than the username in the main text column; anything else, be it avatar, signature, status, rep, whatever, just gets in the way. As long as the username is sufficiently noticeable in the sidebar (or alternatively if you’re using avatars) posts remain very recognisable without breaking the flow.

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

A nonce is used to ensure that you’re coming from the right place and you weren’t tricked into submitting the data (basically to give continuity between starting and finishing an action). If the value is not given or wrong I’d expect bbPress not to post at all. You might be able to look through the code and see where it creates the nonce, then replicate that yourself.

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

No easy fix that I can think of, other than keeping bbpress in a different folder or subdomain. (Consider, for example, the problems you may have with common url structures like /tags/.)

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

It depends where your bb-load.php file is (in relation to your wordpress wp-config.php). You may find it easier to give an absolute path rather than a relative path. http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/a/absopath.htm

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

What’s the fatal error?

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

You need to include bbPress. To do this, make sure that your bbPress supports being integrated thoroughly with WordPress (not just users, also functions), then open your wordpress config file and at the bottom put require_once('path/to/bb-load.php'); That’ll let you use the bb functions too.

Sorry, I didn’t realise that GamerZ’s specifically had guests.

Thomas Klaiber has made an online list plugin. It’s in the plugins section.

[@fel64 Member 17 years ago]

Post your email here, the topic will get locked and anyone interested will be able to get in touch (by forum policy).

I will for sure; I won’t have time until Sunday, but I’ve got experience doing this.

The documentation should help you understand how to use array_shift(): http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.array-shift.php
