This can be quite challenging. I suggest you to hire a developer for making the new plugin.

In reply to: Permalinks ErrorThis is the way relative URLs function. You must modify your template and put on the absolute URL.
<a href="<?php bb_uri('/videos.php'); ?>">video</a>
In reply to: bbpress.org themeHi Paul. I’m afraid but the bbpress.org theme isn’t released.
It writes the option in the database. Open phpmyadmin. Locate the
meta
table (usuallybb_meta
.) Change thebb_option
calleduri
to whatever you want.In reply to: Switching URL to a subdomainIn reply to: Forum IssueOpen phpmyadmin. Inside the table
your_prefix_usermeta
you must change all that rows that have a wrongmeta_key
. Example:your_old_prefix_capabilities -> your_new_prefix_capabilities
In reply to: Community Server to bbPressThere isn’t a converter for bbPress neither for more advanced and used forum software (e.g. phpBB) as far as I know. You must write one.
In reply to: Registration EmailDon’t listen to pagal.
You have to edit the
bb-includes/function.bb-users.php
line 369. Substitutebb_get_uri(null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT)
with your site address.Be careful cause it’s a core file. Unfortunately that function doesn’t expose a filter otherwise we could have done the dirty work through a plugin.
You have to pass an additional parameter to
mail()
:$add = "-f my-website.com";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $additional_headers, $add);There was things I could have done much better
for sure man. Mass email = 99.998% flagged as spam.
The only way to avoid been flagged as spam is to send the notifications into batches that by default are no more than 50 addresses per email like what happens in the “Mass Email” functionality of phpBB. (addendum: a lot of hosts allow you to only send X email per hour.)
I have built a lot of newsletter-like server-side software that sends the newsletter out to X of them every Y minutes using a cron job, with X and Y adjusted from host to host.
Right now there isn’t a plugin that provide this functionality but it can be easily achieved as ashfame suggested but you need some PHP+bbPress knowledge to code what you want.
In reply to: Can I make bbpress forum like vbulletin?bbPress has forums and sub-forums. Just edit the
front-page.php
template file.Please do it then. I got spamblocked for having sent out a mass email to all my members.
A couple of months ago I wrote:
“I mean that you will likely be banned. You should hire an email marketing service. “
and then you replied:
“Thats the stupidest advice I have gotten in all of 2010. “
It seems that my advice wasn’t that stupid.
In reply to: Sticky POSTSWith the default installation: no. But it can be “easily” achieved through a plugin.
In reply to: lost bbPress user roles, all set to inactiveWhat plugins have you installed?
In reply to: lost bbPress user roles, all set to inactiveI’m locked out of my admin, remember?
Open phpmyadmin -> open the usermeta table -> find the row called
bb_capabilities
withuser_id == 1
and change it toa:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}
.I deleted the line in my bb_meta table that set the values of zaerl-visibility and also the line that activated that plugin and then deleted the zaerl plugin file from the bbPress plugins directory
…
Now that my role is ‘inactive’ I would expect to not be able to see anything, so something about how the visibility is being generated has clearly changed.
As it seems you have deleted the plugin from the plugin folder. Given this it’s perfectly normal that you can see everything.
Addendum: my plugin hasn’t been created for hiding an entire forum: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/zaerl-visibility/faq/ the line “zaerl Visibility doesn’t allow me to hide all forums.”
If you want a plugin that hide an entire forum install mr_pelle great swirl unknowns: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/swirl-unknowns/
In reply to: lost bbPress user roles, all set to inactiveSo I’m suspecting the zaerl plug-in as the cause.
Absolutely not. My plugin doesn’t change roles, doesn’t change permissions neither it attempts whatever action that invole writing of data nor it install nasty things on any of the bbPress tables. It just read and write a single
bb_meta
value in which there are packed all the visibility rules. Nothing more.Keep in mind that a user that hasn’t posted anything is actually inactive and become active only when he will post something. Also double-check that role-mapping on /forum/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php.
In reply to: Changing admin nameJust change name/surname from the your profile page. It’s not a good idea to change the default “admin” login name.
In reply to: Avatars, more plugins than images.Just use the gravatar service http://www.gravatar.com
bbPress and WordPress has integrated gravatar support. No need for an additional plugin.
In reply to: Using sessions with bbpressbbPress uses encrypted cookies. If you want to use sessions you must add the required code (in your template files) but you need some PHP knowledge.
In reply to: I think I found a pretty severe posting bug…I have installed all the plugins for making some tests but I still can’t reproduce the bug.
Deactivate all and then activate the plugins one by one. You can leave the post there.
