Or you could do that by editing register.php in your template.
Stickies are handled per topic in the topic. What ‘registration’ goodies are you looking for?
Wild. It sounds like something got corrupted or not uploaded. Glad it’s working now! I love your site design 
I just checked and I can reproduce that error logged in as Key Master when I go to edit their profile.
If someone registers via WordPress, all the roles show up as:
Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in <b>/domain.com/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2021
Below that, under ‘Allow this user to …’ I get this
Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /home/jorjafox/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2036
It’s not pulling the data correctly, since if I manually set them to Member, it works fine. Previously on 1.0alpha1 and alpha2, when I had users on bb with ‘no’ role, I could re-apply the WordPress Role link up (just click save) and magically everyone was fixed.
wilcosky – I take it you’re seeing this with a modified theme. You may have put the wrong php in whatever template you modded. What did you take out and from what file?
Huh. Awesome script, _ck_, you’re a goddess.
Server 1 (my personal site) – average of 0.81909894943 seconds
Server 2 (my busy site) – average of 1.08337402344 seconds
These are on identical Apache servers (actually, server 2 has more memory, but the specs are the same for the servers). Same version of Apache, PHP, SQL etc. Server 2, however, is always slow and pegging the CPU. Even when I turn off WordPress (which my isp blamed at one point) I’m hammering the hell out of the poor box.
I must be missing something, since I already have that working, and I have them in their own directories off the root.
domain.net points to my blog (with posts as yyyy/mm/dd/slug) and domain.net/forums goes right to the forums, no problems.
Something is telling it that there are no posts (thus <?php if ($posts) : ?> never calls the rest of it). But at this point you’ve tapped out my poor brain 
If phpBB isn’t good, you may have to end up with a paid system. You can try SMF (free) and it may meet your needs, but past that I dunno.
How did you try to integrate them? I ask because if you have wp_head calls in your bbpress files, it may be causing this sort of wackiness.
It looks like the ‘loop’ for your posts is missing.
In your source, you mention http://www.theacerguy.com/forum/bb-templates/theAcerGuyForum/forumStyle.css which doesn’t exist, and really should be in my-templates
It’s really like your topic.php is missing all the stuff from <?php do_action('under_title'); ?> down to the if open then reply_ok.
Do you have deep integration going on? You seem to be pulling WP header stuff down.
It may be your theme. Try using the default theme.
Yeah, that’s new and (I think) wrong. I’m doing to raise a trac on it. And at some point, Sam is going to come through my monitor to smack me for making all these tractickets….
Try using the magnificent _ck_’s unread post plugin. Works for me. I made my unread posts darker and bold in the topic list, and when you click on them, they rocket you to the most recent unread post.
Note: Unread is NOT the same as undead…
No, it’s right. Mine does that too. They’re supposed to ‘hide’ when they’re deleted, and then you’ll see something like this :
TOPIC NAME (26 posts +2 more)
And if you click on 2 more you get the two missing posts in red and a ?view=all at the end of your URL.
Alicia R, are you guys using NFS? I poked around your site but I can’t find the answer.
@staats – If you have access to your SQL database (like through phpMyAdmin), it’s much the same as moving any databased app, like WordPress
The first set of directions I put in the post above are mostly right. I’ve updated them here since there’s a couple things that should be explained differently than my copy replace from WordPress’s directions (why reinvent the wheel?). If you’ve got WP and BB integrated you’ll have to make all the changes to the files (wp-config and bb-config AND the admin settings changes) BEFORE you backup your database.
First, backup your database – https://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database (obviously the bb database, not the wp one for your case) No matter WHAT you want this copy! If you screw everything up (and we’ve all done that) you need a fall back plan.
- Download a copy of the main bbpress files from your OLD forum to your hard drive and edit b-config.php to suit the new server.
- Go back to your OLD forum and go to settings and change the bbPress address (URL) to that of your new site. (You may want to change your email addy here, but you don’t have to just yet).
- IF you’ve integrated bbPress and WordPress, go to your WordPress Integration page and change any domain information there that has changed.
- Download your database (but keep the old backup just in case), upload this new database and the copy of the forum files with the edited bb-config.php to your new server.
Again, if WordPress and bbPress are integrated and sharing a database, do steps 1-3 for bbpress, and then steps 1 and 2 here, and THEN do the last DB download step just once.
And if it’s all confusing … yeah, it’s a lot of fruit to be juggling at once.
I guess it depends on what you want a forum to do.
Make a list of what you need, being firm with yourself to separate your WANTS from your NEEDS. For example, for me a PM system is nice, but it’s not a deal breaker for me. Whereas sharing IDs and Passwords (and cookies) with WP is a must have. Include things like ‘cost’ and support. Do you want to be able to call up the company, or is a support forum okay.
Then check out a place like http://www.forummatrix.org/ to compare some of them. Like a quick check comparing SMF, bbPress and Vanilla may help you out (see my results).
bbPress is a young product, it’s not even ‘live’ yet, and having been there as a user for SMF back when it was YABB and then YABBSE and THEN when it moved on to SMF (not to mention IPB, the big bad daddy of fat forum software) … well, I’ve tried a lot of forums. They all start out about this level and some improve and some don’t. It’s hard to tell at this stage, but bbPress feels like it’s headed the right way to me I do understand why it’s not right for everyone, though!
Hrm. On the nightly build, I still can’t rename topics. Also I see the option to delete, undelete and mark as spam. Seems to me that ‘undelete’ should be hidden.
On the SVN ‘build’ I can rename topics, but I still see ‘undelete’ as an option for … non-deleted posts.
In bb-config.php
define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'WP's AUTH KEY halmstad');
define('BB_SECURE_KEY', 'WP's SECURE KEY halmstad');
define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'WP's LOGGED IN KEY halmstad');
Also make sure you have the salts:
define('BB_AUTH_SALT', 'WP's AUTH SALT');
define('BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'WP's LOGGED IN SALT');
And that you have these defined:
$bb->secure_auth_cookie = 'wordpress_sec_456c71223b3bb9958349ec3d65b850f6';
$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_456c71223b3bb9958349ec3d65b850f6';
Personally, I set my cookie domain to .domain.se for both WP and BB.
tomwi – Two easy options.
1) Use the build in RSS sidebar widget in wordpress.
2) Add the PHP Widget plugin and then toss in something like this:
<?php require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss-functions.php');
$today = current_time('mysql', 1);
// insert the feed URL here
$rss = @fetch_rss('http://domain.net/forums/rss');
if ( isset($rss->items) && 0 != count($rss->items) ) {
echo '<ul>';
// set the number of items from the feed to display (5)
$rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 5);
foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
echo '<li><a href="';
echo wp_filter_kses($item['link']);
echo '">';
echo wp_specialchars($item['title']);
echo '</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}; ?>
my-content
my-content/themes
my-content/plugins
my-content/languages?
Ehhhh. Languages (i.e. translations) should be added to trunk IMO.
I concur – Can’t rename topics.
#1009 opened, I updated it.
