There are four problems with your stylesheet.
Line 18: The font name Trebuchet MS must be quoted like this -> ‘Trebuchet MS’
Line 46, 177 and 385: Do not use HTML style commenting “<!–” and “–>” use “/*” and “*/”
Safari 2 hates bad CSS.
In reply to: What are the future plans for bbpress ?Right after this topic was started there is a sudden flurry of activity from mdawaffe in trunk.
So lots is going on now.
In reply to: What are the future plans for bbpress ?> Impressive looking work.
Thanks, the release of version 4 of that project is scheduled for 21st September 2007.
Version 4 is the first public (open-source) major release.
In reply to: What are the future plans for bbpress ?The slower development cycle on bbPress at the moment is mainly because there is one active committer – mdawaffe – one other committer – matt – and only a few regular core contributors (i.e. patch suppliers) – so10, sambauers and very few others.
mdawaffe has been a little absent from bbPress recently, but he also works on WordPress and other projects within Automattic a lot, so maybe that is where he is concentrating at the moment. There is a chance that mdawaffe is working on some non-public project that has to do with bbPress, but I can’t confirm that.
matt started bbPress, but these days doesn’t work on bbPress much at all.
so1o has been quiet around here lately too, although he recently revamped his personal website (built on wordpress/bbPress). Maybe he can tell us what he is up to at the moment himself?
I (sambauers) am in the middle of finishing a major release of my own open source project and won’t be doing anything at all (besides lurking in this forum) until next month.
So it basically comes down to these four people to make bbPress go forward at the moment, and for various reasons they aren’t working on it at the moment.
Please keep in mind that I can’t speak with any authority for the others I have mentioned here and I am happy to be corrected, but this is the best account of the situation I can give at the moment.
In reply to: Problems With MYSQL (FIRST STEPS)> “Client API version 3.23.49” – I think bbPress requires at least version 4.0 MySQL
That’s definitely the problem here. Just to clarify, your MySQL client library that PHP is using is too old. Adding new extensions to PHP in windows is comparatively easy. Check the PHP manual for info on how to do it, but basically you should have the extension you need somewhere in your PHP folder already. It’s just a matter of moving it to the right place. Perhaps a windows person can help out here?
In reply to: Unread TopicsYou should consider just tracking what the last time was each user viewed a topic. That will reduce the number of entries in your table to a maximum of one entry for each user on each topic, rather than one entry for each user on each post.
As for the delay in getting plugin “approval”, you aren’t alone. I’ve waited a while at times and had to poke for it to get done, approval is less about the question of “is your code good enough” and more about weeding out spam/bozos etc. Also, from what I understand mdawaffe is pretty much the only developer doing significant work on bbPress at Automattic and he has other responsibilities there as well (including maintaining the WordPress plugin browser).
The community here is growing, but small, and the few people who are regular contributors to this forum are really quite helpful, enthusiastic and generally pretty knowledgeable. I hope you feel more welcome as you get to know us and become more involved.
In reply to: Changing the displayed user role on post pagesUsing this plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/50
You can customise what appears under the user’s name.
Don’t worry about the first section of the plugin, just skip to the last field. Entering a single
<br />tag in that field will stop anything displaying.Unfortunately the plugin can’t change “keymaster” to something else, for that you will need to hack or use a new language file as Detective suggests.
In reply to: Pretty Permalinks Not Working> .htaccess is in lankapod/forum/ folder
That’s good, but is there a .htaccess in your base ( lankapod/ ) directory?
In reply to: Pretty Permalinks Not WorkingRead my posts above with regards to running bbPress in a sub-directory and having WordPress mod-rewrite rules in the parent directory.
Yep, it’s here…
In reply to: Rewriting up one levelMy advice is don’t try to change
bb_repermalink().Just to qualify myself, I rewrote
bb_repermalink()a while back to implement slug-based permalinks. It’s a tricky beast, and the most complex part is the profile-page case.But if you must, then you should start by turning debugging on
$bb->debug = 1in config.php should do it. Then when you hit your link you should get some readable debug info at the top of your page.The critical part of stopping the redirect is on line 1708 of bb-includes/functions.php, you have to make that condition happy to stop the redirect to it’s preferred permalink location. That may involve simply modifying the
get_user_profile_link()and also theget_profile_tab_link()functions, but I’m not 100% sure about that.In reply to: changing rss url (redirecting to feedburner)This is plugin territory.
I’m sure _ck_ will write it eventually. : )
In reply to: Rewriting up one levelAdd this to your sites root directory .htaccess file.
This assumes that your bbPress install is in a subdirectory of your sites root called “forums”.
These rules need to be added before any WordPress rules.
The rewrite will work, but bb_repermalink() will change the URL so that it appears as it normally would.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/?$ /forums/profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>In reply to: Rewriting up one levelEven if you got the Rewrite rules written correctly, the page wold not load due to the checks carried out that check the URL in the function repermalink().
In reply to: Akismet key idDid you not see this?
From config.php:
// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage
// of Akismet's powerful spam blocking, you'll need one. You can get an Akismet key at
// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/
$bb->akismet_key = ''; // Example: '0123456789ab'In reply to: A very brief standards reivew…Personally, I’m not insulted, just curious as to the implications of the current approach (which is the same approach I generally take in development – i.e. XHTML 1.1 as text/html). What are we breaking by doing this. If I pass a browser a document with MIME type of text/html or application/xhtml+xml it will pass the document to it’s rendering engine. After that, does it matter?
It’s quite likely that XHTML 1.1 will stay a draft standard, as the new XHTML 2 and HTML 5 specs are where the action is at the moment. Arguably HTML 4.01 isn’t finished either.
In reply to: A very brief standards reivew…What exactly is “tag soup”, and what does it taste like? Is it really a problem? It’s just the MIME type.
It isn’t so simple to just change the DOCTYPE. Browsers render different DOCTYPEs differently. Especially Internet Explorer.
I’m much more comfortable leaving the “wrong” mime type in there than having to deal with different layout quirks of different DOCTYPEs.
Or are you really advocating that we should be dropping back to HTML 4.01?
In reply to: A very brief standards reivew…Thanks for your notes.
What is the problem exactly with serving XHTML using text/html?
It’s allowed under the standard:
XHTML 1.1 documents SHOULD be labeled with the
Internet Media Type text/html as defined in [RFC2854]
or application/xhtml+xml as defined in [RFC3236].And as far as I know IE6 tends to bork out when you specify “application/xhtml+xml”.
Yeah, that’s probably sanitized into nothing.
Add a ticket describing it in Trac.
We’ll need to create a case for “untitled” topics like this.
In reply to: Wrong user countI would not have that expectation unless you report a bug in the trac site.
Login with the same details you use here.
In reply to: How do you change the Freshness of post date format?I believe you can do this…
<?php topic_time('D M j Y G:i:s'); ?>But I’ve never tried it.
In reply to: Can’t get past first step!Are you trying to integrate with a WordPress install?
In reply to: bbMenu 2.0 alpha help needed (kinda advanced)Sorry, I don’t grok jQuery. I prefer prototype.
In reply to: Can’t get past first step!Presumably the database settings are correct, because you got that far.
I also presume that you are referring to the initial (keymaster) user account when you are talking about “username”.
Do you get the “no user found” message when you first try to login?
Did you use the password it gives you to use at the end of the install process?
In reply to: Not Resolved by DefaultUmmm, I probably won’t add that sort of functionality to the plugin. Perhaps you should try to hack together a plugin yourself?
