I think
require_once(orrequire,includeorinclude_oncefor that matter) need a path to the file rather than a URL. A path would be like the addresses you get when you’re browsing folders on your computer. I can’t say what your path would be, but mine is/home/username/public_html/wordpress/wp-config.php. Ask your hosting provider if you don’t know what to use.
It might be easier to recreate the theme anyway, if I remember rightly a fair few folks come here with problems when trying to stick bb into the WP theme like that.
I vaguely remember from setting up bb in localhost and trying to copy my server DB into my local MySQL that PHPMyAdmin wouldn’t take more than 16 Mb when importing. That might well be a setting that can be set somewhere, I don’t know; I can’t find it in its config file, in any case.
Edit: my localhost version of phpMyAdmin says “Max: 16,384KiB” by the import dialog.
To get around this if it is the problem, can you live without 1/3rd of the posts? Then you could delete them in the original database via some query and export the remaining 2/3rds. It might be better to hold out for someone with more database-mojo to come along and see if there’s a non-destructive way.
Does that work? It should have been:
<?php if( bb_current_user_can('administrate) ) {
$wp_admin = 'wordpress/wp-admin/';
echo '<a href="'.$wpadmin.'">Wordpress Admin</a>'; } ?>Sorry!
Replace
D M Ywith a date-formatted string of your choice. It’s quite an interesting but simple system. Each letter stands for a different type of date or time. SoDis replaced by first three letters of the weekdate,Mby first three of the month etc.This reference will tell you what letters to use to see what date outputs you get. Roll your own date format.
You’ve got a really nice eye for the design of the site. It’s rare to see something so nicely designed and functional.
The main column of games could be a bit more highlighted, though; with the strong coloured backgrounds the left colum distracts a lot. Worth it for the login form, but in my opinion not for stats.
How did you get the /profiles/X thing to work? Haven’t tried it myself, but it would be interesting to know how much modification it took to have bb accept that – if any?
All I did was split
display_view_count()into two functions,display_view_count()andget_view_count(). If for example you wanted the views in a seperate column, you’d add the column HTML and then add<?php $view_count = get_view_count(); echo $view_count; ?>This is what I replaced
display_view_count( $title )with, here for Smurf’s convenience. You’re about to get mail.Oh, before I forget – hopefully now that plugins need activation in 1.0-alpha, there’s also an activation hook or the like. That would let you do a lot of preparation first, making the code much easier.
Edit: there is! bb_activate_plugin_XXX. Maybe you can use that – if you want to and figure it out, tell us/make an entry on the wiki.
function display_view_count ($title)
{
global $bbdb, $topic;
$topic_id = $topic->topic_id;
$view_count = get_view_count( $topic_id );
//Builds the text to be appended to the title
$count_display = " <em>($view_count views)</em>"; //This sets the view count var to the existing number of views, if greater than 0
//Makes this plugin play nice with the Page Links plugin by putting the pages (if they exist) on a new line
if (function_exists('page_links_add_links')) {
$count_display .= "n";
}
$title .= $count_display;
return $title;
}
function get_view_count( $topic_id )
{
$view_count = $bbdb->get_var("SELECT meta_value FROM $bbdb->topicmeta WHERE topic_id = $topic_id AND meta_key='views'");
if ( $view_count <= 0 ) {
//If the view count hasn't been initialized...
if ($topic->topic_posts >= 1) {
/* Sets the new record to the number of posts that have been made in a topic */
$view_count = $topic->topic_posts; //sets the view_count number
} else {
$view_count = 0; //can't think of a time when this would be necessary (phantom topics???)
}
//Adds the record to the DB so it isn't zero any longer
$bbdb->query("INSERT INTO $bbdb->topicmeta ( meta_id, topic_id, meta_key, meta_value) VALUES ( NULL , $topic_id, 'views', $view_count )");
}
return $view_count;
}Should really have been more familiar with the code – there’s a check to see if it’s the correct file, otherwise it simply redirects to the front page. Getting rid of that made it work.
Thanks for all your help, Sam!
I’m glad these still are a pretty place.
I don’t know, closing it isn’t going to save his feelings; although closing it would be appropriate if it looks like a fight. It’s a matter of opinion I guess. Yup, clear as mud!
