Aren’t themes meant to be in the /my-templates folder? Not sure if it’s necessary.
As a temporary fix, you could right-click the link, select Copy Link Location, paste it into your URL and just change the path so it links to your theme. Might be worth a try
I think the contents of your bbpress folder (config.php, bb-includes, bb-images etc) should have been uploaded to /otherblog/forums, and your .htaccess file should go next to them in the /otherblog/forums folder. Good luck
Has anyone made a plugin for quoting posts? Is it under development? It’d be great.
By the way, Trent, not sure if you still use the same CSS but instead of declaring
border-xxxx:for each side you can simply declareborder:and it’ll apply for all sides.
What do you mean by manual?
You have to change some settings in config.php, but that’s it. Nothing a monkey with a keyboard and a human to do the work for him couldn’t do … really, it’s simple.
No editing code or the like. Even if it’s in a different subdomain you barely have to do anything.Certainly doesn’t sound as much work as installing Vanilla – bbPress is set up to use mostly the same tables as WP already …
While it sounds like somewhat useful functionality, I don’t want it – if it was enabled by default in bbPress, I’d even want to turn it off. Anything that means users can just visit once, know that they’re going to get any answers and never have to come back is that you’re going to get a lot of users who do just that. I would much rather they check regularly, sometimes see something that catches their eye and hang around … It just sounds like a feature that hinders a community building up.
Yup, I know that; I just meant that you could quite simply add it to the arguments you took and it’d be a nice addition. My modified code at the end.
Yeah, it’s mildly annoying that the permalinks aren’t used, but it’s not a killer for me. I’d rather have this functionality than none.
Thanks again for the plugin.function wp_show_posts( $args ) {
global $bb;
parse_str($args, $r);
if ( !isset( $r['before'] ) )
$r['before'] = "<li>n";
if ( !isset( $r['after'] ) )
$r['after'] = "<br />n</li>n";
$posts = wp_get_posts( $args );
foreach( $posts as $post ) {
echo $r['before'];
echo "<a href='".$bb->wp_home."?p=".$post->ID."'>";
echo $post->post_title;
echo "</a>";
echo $r['after'];
}
}Fantastic Nick, worked straight out of the box. I really like the way you take arguments as well.
Nicest addition would be a beforeandafterso that it didn’t have to be a list.Page numbers – say a thread has more than 30 replies and falls onto the second page, it’s very irritating having to click the thread’s name and then click again to get to the second page. Next to the page’s name you should simply have the page numbers displayed and clickable, hopefully in a smart way (say showing the first few and the last few). You can see it on this forum, too: say I want to read the second page of posts in the Plugin: Forum Restriction thread, I have to click on the name and then on the second page. Is there maybe even a plugin to list the page numbers next to the page name in the thread listing?
In WordPress you have hooks that let you take actions through your plugin when they’re called, right? I guess bbPress does the same. I specifically want to create an Identicon avatar on registration – it’s not essential, just something I’d like to do. How do I register my plugin to work on that hook, and what hook do I use? Just a list of hooks would be helpful.
Hehe, no problem, and glad you like the site. The site came after the pun, if you were wondering …
Not sure what a Jello Mold solution is? All I’ve done is
float: lefted the sidebar andfloat: righted the main content bar. To get the background going all the way down I put them into another div.A lot of the work was already done for me, as I started with the Greenflower WP theme, so it wasn’t a great step from that. Glad you like it, though, really
You have to add these lines to your bbPress config.php file – not sure who posted it, but it’s not my idea.
//your try to sync cookies
$bb->cookiedomain = '.myurl.com';
$bb->cookiepath = '/';You also have to edit WP core files I think.
wp-settings.php line 190
FROM
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', false);
TO
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.myurl.com');I’ve got it set up so at http://www.loinhead.net (and forums.loinhead.net) and it works nicely.
I like this plugin a great deal, because it works so nicely right off the bat
Since my forum is in a subdomain, I had to change the code a bit (just coded in the location of my forums instead of letting it grab my blog location and adding a path). But a very minor thing to do for a very nice plugin.
