Thanks Trent, I am still pushing along… I understand, those late nights get to me too.

All the Best,

Orion

[@startribe Member 17 years, 11 months ago]

YES! I got it… I used this to get the correct path:

<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>my-templates/images/victorylogo.gif

Ahhhh, and sigh. Trent, thanks for helping with getting my gears going. Now if anyone else runs into a similar issue, they will have a solution.

All the Best,

Orion

actually, I forgot to load the file, the result above was from playing with

‘<?php bb_location(); ?>’ and “image”.

After trying your code Trent, I received no results for the designated area:

src=""

lol…

yeah, any solution is good to start for me. The above produced:

front-pageimages/victorylogo.gif

I am editing the front-page.php, so I am not sure if it pulled that file name or I have a setting a bit off somewhere.

Hmmm…. there has to be a way. I am getting the images to load through CSS, but for this particular image I would like to have it in the HTML content.

So any more ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Hey Trent,

Thanks for the reply…

I checked out the source of the resulting page and found this…

/my-templates/style.cssimages/victorylogo.gif

So I noticed that it is posting “style.css” in the path, which is throwing me off.

Essentially, I am trying to get into my “my-templates” directory. I will look into your other solution. If you have any other ideas, I am open ears.

Thanks,

Orion

mdawaffe,

I’m sorry, I just saw your request today, so I was not able to give your suggestion a try, but it looks like the issue was resolved.

I have been focusing on our templates for our WordPress site the last 2 weeks, but now I am back in the mix to get our forum up and running.

Its good to be back @ bbPress.

All the Best,

Orion

[@startribe Member 17 years, 11 months ago]

Ok… thanks for that reminder on the phpinfo.php file.

[@startribe Member 17 years, 11 months ago]

Ahhh,

I got a solution! Yes!

It turns out Diablo Valley Hosting/Godaddy was only not supporting .htaccess solutions yesterday, I know, kind of strange.

But today was a different story. After a phone call, thank you Suzan, support sent me a email link to the following:

http://help.securepaynet.net/article.php?article_id=1082&topic_id=&prog_id=diablovalleyhosting&#38;

The text needed in the .htaccess for our servers is:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

And now the tags.php link works… yes!

chrishajer and madawaffe, thank you again for your help. Your trouble shooting helped me with providing the right information to get a workable solution.

Hopefully this info will help with those working on other Diablo Valley Hosting or other Godaddy servers.

All the Best,

Orion

also, in safari I am getting this error:

Safari can’t open the page.

Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://ostardesign.com/forums/tags.php?tag=”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.

[@startribe Member 17 years, 11 months ago]

here is a link to the phpinfo.php ::

http://ostardesign.com/forums/phpinfo.php

not sure if this helps… any how, I thought I would share a bit about my project.

ostardesign.com is a temporary url, this site is actually for a MMA publishing company. I was sold on wordpress after I read this article:

http://www.adobe.com/newsletters/edge/july2006/articles/article6/

I then became a true believer after building my personal site with WP. For Victory Belt I decided to run with WP and was originally going to go with phpBB, then Vanilla, then considered punBB for a bit, then found out about the tight integration with bbPress. The WP community in conjunction with the bbPress community had a huge influence on my decision. I was then sold when I found out about the plugin that automatically creates forum posts (http://dev.mbzeus.net/), for then I realized that the integration and community would only get stronger.

I like how light and fast bbPress is, I would like to focus on the discussions and interaction with the community, and I feel these elements would be refreshing in comparison to the other clunky mma bbs out there. And once Dr. Riddoch over at An-Archos creates his media plugin for bbPress, we’ll be set.

Anyhow, for those interested mma is getting some pretty big traffic, and we are expecting a lot of traffic to our site, for we are releasing books by BJ Penn and Randy Couture in the near future. There is actually a special on MSNBC tonight that is a prime example to the influx of interest in MMA, trailer @:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wF4ib2Ws0E

I just wanted to share, and I am hoping to make bbPress our solution, for I know I am going a bit out on a limb with such new software, but I believe the tree is very strong.

Also, our look and feel is created, the site location is currently the category and back-end development. One of my designers just recently started working on the look and feel of the css… just an FYI.

Thanks again for the help,

I am going to call up my hosting service now,

All the Best,

Orion

[@startribe Member 17 years, 11 months ago]

Thank you again chrishajer & madawaffe,

I created a phpinfo.php file and uploaded it to the forum root folder, and the PHP info with and with out the .htaccess file is…

PHP Version 4.3.11

I then tried saving the .htaccess file in several different formats including, Mac OS Western, UTF-8, UTF-16, & ASCII, and I was given an internal server error for UTF-8 & UTF-16.

I then tried creating an .htaccess directory access and password file with a .htpasswd file, and was given another server error.

So I am assuming, that outside of the issue of the tags.php working on php4, that there is an issue with my server in working with a .htaccess file. Hmmmm, there has to be a solution here, and I really would like to get this forum up and running, for I love the integration with wordpress.

I am going to call up my hosting service again and probe a bit more. If any ideas come about, I will be here at full attention. Thank you so much for your help again.

All the Best,

Orion

[@startribe Member 17 years, 11 months ago]

Thank you chrishajer & madawaffe,

I am on BBpress 0.74, and I checked my server settings which are…

“

Support for PHP 5

With PHP 5 support, you can program using the latest version of this server-side scripting language and take advantage of existing applications and add ons written in PHP 5. You can also run both PHP 4 and PHP 5 simultaneously on the same site.

“

I also tried uploading an .htaccess file to my forum root with the first line stating:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

And I still received the same error. After that I moved the file to my template directory, and then to my site directory, and I still had the same problem. I thought this was strange because I am receiving the same results as those mentioned in the post chrishajer linked.

I then called up my hosting service, Diablo Valley Hosting, which is a reseller of Godaddy, so it was Godaddy support. They then told me that in order to assure php5 I would have to change all of my extensions to “.php5.”

I asked and .htaccess, and was told that there was a solution, but they couldn’t offer support on it.

Thank you so much for the help thus far. I am not sure if there is a problem with my .htaccess file or something else, for I entered the line “AddType x-mapp-php5 .php” into the first line of the file. Anyhow, any suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Orion

[@startribe Member 17 years, 11 months ago]

Wow!

It was the permalinks. I shouldn’t of set that to “true” during the installation.

bbolman and Trent, thank you so much for the help. I am excited about bbPress, for not only is there huge potential behind the integration with WP, but the communities are awesome!

Thank again,

Orion

[@startribe Member 17 years, 11 months ago]

I will check both… thank for the expedient replies…

give me a couple of minutes…
