That was really something that came off the top of my head. Does it not do anything? If not, you should keep your iFrames thing going. It must work well.

[Michael]

Unfortunately, I am not a plugin developer – but I think the idea is good. At the end of the day, there might need to be a little ‘push’ to get bbPress active again. This could be it.

[Michael]

I missed this one – sorry about that. Looked like an interactive meet – nice to see some changes happening.

I would still like to contribute to/work on a new design for the bbPress website, considering that I can’t be of too much help on the coding side of bbPress.

Can’t wait to see the new version.

Merry Christmas everyone!

[Michael]

Looks nice – you’ve got a nice blog there Gautam.

[Michael]

There’s still plenty I want to do with it – most of that will happen when I purchase a new domain for it. I’m glad you like it. I must say, however, that I’m not too happy with it.

I also preferred the fluid look for a while, but I found that more and more people are using wide-screens – some even HD, so there’s a lot of white-space, even on 1280×800 (my current resolution).

I quite like those designs. If you didn’t have the ‘Powered by bbPress’, I wouldn’t even know which forum software you were using (only at a glance, though). I like what you have going there. I’ve been trying to incorporate avatars in the forum list, but with no luck.

I’m not too sure what you mean. I think you should open up a new topic for this – I have a funny feeling this one might be closed because we’re going off topic.

[Michael]

Gautam: Thanks. I thought that because I made the forum only show categories, the recent conversations should have more information. Otherwise there would be too much whitespace.

If you do, let me know so I can comment.

grassrootspa: Thanks very much. You think so? I still would like to make changes to it. Would you do that if it was your forum?

I downloaded a template called BusinessLike from AwesomStyles.com and modified most of it.

Thanks for your kind comments guys.

[Michael]

Thanks so much! Works like an absolute charm!

I’m not too worried about internal links being opened in a new tab, as I’d like people to not be taken away from the topic until they are happy to close it. If I find it needs to be that way, I will try and implement the code to only work when there is an external link, by checking the domain name.

Thanks again – happy holidays!

[Michael]

Sorry, none of the solutions posted there work. They all seem to either do nothing, or strip away the HREF param from the code.

I would try and figure it out, but my knowledge of Regular Expressions is quite limited.

Does anyone know how to fix it? It seems to just be a problem with the RegEx.

[Michael]

lol – should’ve searched ‘ey? Thanks for the link

[Michael]

I take it no-one has a clue about this one ‘ey?

Not to worry though – I might find out how to do it next year.

[Michael]

Alternatively, you could make a PHP file that has something like this as content, instead of using iFrames:

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>



/* Your PHP script goes here */



<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

This file would be saved in your template folder (with a funky name if you wish – the user will never see the name).

Then you would create a file in the forum root, with the following contents:

<?php require_once('my-templates/xxxxxx/page1.php ?>

You would then save that file with the name you want people to access it with, such as information.php.

Much more reliable than iFrames. I, personally, will never use them.

[Michael]

It’s really nice to see some creative (yet minimal) themes for bbPress.

This is great!

[Michael]

You may be having issues with User Roles in your installation. The redirect back to the forums generally happens when a user does not have permission to access a certain area.

Are you using WordPress integration at all? There seem to be some problems with that and user roles.

[Michael]

I see this is an old thread, but I’ll explain anyway. I also see that subtlegusto has moved to phpBB.

The difference in URI’s is this:

When logging out of the admin panel, the re tells the script to go back to the forum itself (after logging out).

When logging out of the forum, it doesn’t need to change the page. All it needs to do is delete the login cookies, which is what logout=1 is for. That’s why there’s no re in the path.

I don’t see why an error like that would appear – but it could possibly be that the installation was corrupt (least likely) or that permissions for the file may have been incorrect.

[Michael]

Glad it helped.

[Michael]

Depends on where you’re hosting your site. If you’re running a free web host, then it most likely appends analytics code at the end of each page. The analytics system for most of these servers are very slow. If this is the case, add the following to your .htaccess file on the root of your public_html folder (if it does not exist, then you should create the file):

php_value auto_append_file none

php_value auto_prepend_file none

Also, if your host (free or not) has ZLib compression enabled, you can add the following to your .htaccess file:

<ifmodule mod_php5.c>

php_value zlib.output_compression 16386

</ifmodule>

That will compress the output of your site quite a bit.

My forum (http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation) used to take longer than a minute to finish loading. After adding that, it is much quicker.

There are no plugins that I’m aware of that do this for bbPress, so the above implementation would be best for now.

Hope that helps a little.

[Michael]

That should do okay – if it works and doesn’t reduce server-load times, then it should work.

[Michael]

Agreed – very nice.

I specifically chose a theme (and edited it deeply) because it was clean, new, and the buttons are easy to find.

See what I mean: http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation

Great job refeuled!

[Michael]

Yes, bbPress can have sub forums of sub forums of sub-forums. I have never tested how far it can go, however.

[Michael]

I didn’t even know there was a download counter! This is great!

When bbPress 1.1 comes out, I’m sure it’s counter will reach 100k in no time at all.

[Michael]

This ia a great plugin! Thank you very much!

I did have to make quite a lot of edits to get it to display correctly, but I’m sure most will – depending on the theme they’re using.

I’ve been looking for this for a long time. Kudos!

[Michael]

To be perfectly honest – I agree with Chris.

This type of thing will be fixed when the next bbPress comes out – which will have a different intergration system

Hi

I have made a post at my forum, Dev:station:

“The problem with bbPages is that the customized pages are stored in an SQL Table within your bbPress Database. In effect, and based on the way it loads, the PHP code will not execute.

If, however, the plugin saved the custom page as a PHP file, it would work.

Once bbPress starts to mature with a new version, I may create such a plugin.”

[Michael]

I have downloaded it, thank you. I saw that the problem came from the fact that it was only allowing Key Masters as the minimum access. I realized that there was a problem with my database which is why it was not saving the settings when I changed them.

It al works perfectly now – thanks!

[Michael]

That’s awesome! I have just commented on the beta. Thank you!

And thanks for the tips – they sound very logical, and pretty much confirm what I kept asking myself.

I really appreciate all your help.
