Later this month is plausible but just plain speculation. If you’re desperate for some updating you can get the bleeding-edge version off SVN, but it might be buggy and you’ll need an SVN client too.

I am responsible for taking donations on Automattic’s behalf. Plz send all your money now.

Incidentally, I’m a Nigerian banker and a wealthy white man has just died. Please tell me all your bank details so I can send you lots of mooneh.

[fel64]

Okay, so turn off pretty links and take that out from your .htaccess file so we can find out if that’s the problem.

[fel64]

Yo.

Open your folder containing all your bbPress stuff, including the config.php file. Make a new folder and call it my-templates, if it doesn’t exist yet! Open my-templates and make another new folder, and call it anything you like. This folder will house your forum’s theme.

Now go back to the main bb folder, and open bb-templates > kakumei. Copy the style.css file into the folder you created a minute ago.

Open style.css, and look for this (it’s right at the top):

body {

margin-bottom: 50px;

background: #fff;

font: 62.5% 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Tahoma, Arial;

}

Those are the fonts that will be used, in order from left to right (if someone doesn’t have, for example, Trebuchet MS they’ll then try to use Lucida Grande). The font they use here is Georgia.

Change that part to:

body {

margin-bottom: 50px;

background: #fff;

font: 62.5% Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;

}

Save it and put the my-templates folder and everything in it on your server in the main bb folder.

Now, open your forums, go to the admin panel, go to Presentation, and click on your theme’s name. Your forum should look the same as before, but with the new font.

You have tried the plugin that’s meant to fix this? It worked for me. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/822?replies=10

You could also try upgrading to the most current version off SVN, but you have to be prepared to get your hands dirty and face other bugs to do that. Get something like Tortoise SVN and go to the downloads page here.

[fel64]

Hmm okay, fair enough. I’ll have a look at that myself. Thanks – would’ve been incredibly annoying if that stopped people posting!

[fel64]

Are you using a plugin which adds to the usable tags? Disable it and see if the problem still occurs.

Also check if the links are in the database and are just being filtered out, or if they’re properly removed.

[fel64]

I just noticed I have a similar thing.

I certainly didn’t moderate that topic. Another topic that I did delete isn’t showing up there. Strange.

Chris, really? What browser?

The page really shouldn’t hang just because of

onclick="this.style.display='none';"

I’m also using 1.0-alpha, and I have no problems. Taking out the JS solved the problem?!

That should be such standard JS code I’m surprised it doesn’t work in Safari. I’ll have to test it.

[fel64]

Yeah, netvibes only checks for an update in the feed occasionally. Web readers are annoying like that, but also annoyingly useful on account of the notifications etc.

[fel64]

I don’t think it’s possible (unless you go the (awful) swfIR way, in which case it may be possible). At least not through CSS (version 2, anyway). A PHP solution would be messy.

[fel64]

Hey, that sounds like a great idea. The ability for plugins to automatically clean up after themselves … fantastic!

[fel64]

There is no description of the stylesheet that I know of, but it’s fairly straightforward. Working on this should be identical to styling WP, only with different classes and ids. There is also no listing of template tags and other API functions, sorry.

Not sure what you want to do with the images, but some things can be done with CSS.

.post img {

property: details;

}

You can set things such as the border and the maximum size and the like. http://www.w3schools.com/css/

For incredibly fancy things with images you need swfIR, but that’s a flash thing and as such a) very annoying b) security risks? c) setup difficult.

Right now, by the way, you appear to be using Trent’s forum theme, which includes a (hardcoded?) link to his about page (second blue tab at the top).

You may also wish to re-count your forum’s posts (Admin > Site Management I think), as one of your forums has -1 posts.

[fel64]

Not as far as I know. It depends if there is a plugin_deactivate hook and if bb keeps data on plugins (and their tables), which I both doubt.

For WP I think I saw a plugin which had a clean up tables button or something, so you could clean up before deactivating. Come to think of it … I never did clean up before deactivating. >_<

[fel64]

Unfortunately not, as it simply hangs itself on the get_profile_info_keys filter – so it gives extra values for the user to edit, which isn’t what I’m looking for.

[fel64]

Does anyone know?

[fel64]

Looks like a WP comments feed? Something’s gone wrong here.

Strangely I don’t have an RSS feed available from my front page at all. http://forums.loinhead.net/ I’m running 1.0-alpha, that might be to do with it.

[fel64]

Open your config.php file and change line 26 (I think) to

$bb->mod_rewrite = 'slugs';

(It should have been $bb->mod_rewrite = [true or false] before.)

Put the following code in your .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^topic/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^topic/(.+)/?$ /topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^tags/?$ /tags.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/(.+)/([a-z]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/(.+)/([a-z]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^profile/(.+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)$ /view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/$ /rss.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([a-z]+)$ /rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

[fel64]

If Trent’s theory is correct (and it sounds good) I think the best thing for you to do is to plonk that javascript reference in a plugin (that’s certainly the neatest thing). This is probably the code you need.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Javascript Spoilers

Plugin URI: [Enhanced SS page]

Description: Makes little javascript buttons to show and hide text in spoiler tags. A port of a WP plugin.

Author: [Author of Enhanced SS]

Version: 0.1

Author URI: [Author of Enhanced SS homepage]

*/



function ess_addjs()

{

$plugin_uri = bb_get_option('uri') . str_replace(BBPATH, '', BBPLUGINDIR);

$js_uri = $plugin_uri . 'enhancedss.js';

echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $js_uri . '" />' . "n";

}



add_action('bb_head', ''ess_addjs);

?>

You will have to modify the javascript filename from enhancedss.js to whatever it’s actually called.

Copy and paste all that into a plain-text file, call it something.php and upload it to your plugins folder. Also upload the enhancedss.js file to that folder.

Almost all that code was totally ripped off from Sam Bauer’s Page links plugin.

[fel64]

I think so. Integration has to be done from the very start. You have to set up your config.php properly before install (with the database pointed at your WP database) else it won’t integrate. Maybe I’m wrong; does anyone else know?

[fel64]

I did not play with any files 24 hours ago, except to post something.

Did you play with files when posting something?

Are you sure it’s since 24 hours ago? Positive?

Change your admin password.

[fel64]

The 404s seem to me to probably come from your config.php and .htaccess files not being set up accordingly. If you have mod_rewrite set to true in your config.php (which you do) then you must update your .htacess file.

Go to http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/bkrv/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php (probably) and copy the output into your forum folder’s .htaccess file. Try again.

You said something about a hacker?

As far as I know each theme must be in a sub-folder of my-templates.

[fel64]

No, it isn’t.

Stylesheets are what determines the look of a forum. These are the stylesheets the WP.com forums use:

http://wordpress.com/forums-theme/wpcom/forums.css

http://wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/h3/style.css?1169109548

http://wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/h3/hack.css

I do not think they would mind if you use them, as long as you give credit. You could ask someone.

Or, instead, you could start a new theme, edit your new style.css file and try to replicate what they have by try-and-error.

[fel64]

Check forum/bb-templates/kakumei/post-form.php is present on your server. That is the only thing I can think of.

[fel64]

1. Prolly.

2. Yup. The biggest part is sharing users, sharing topics/blogposts and replies/comments is not yet possible as far as I know. Avatars will take several modifications.

3. I think there’s a plugin.

4. I don’t think so. Not yet.

5. Yes. Almost every post is done via a quick reply interface (post box at the bottom of a thread).
