I’m not sure. But it’s really just a collection of images, and a PHP array that binds a particular smiley code (e.g. ‘‘) to a specific image file, (e.g. ‘smile.png’).

So it’s really quite easy to piece together your own smiley package. I might be interested in hosting some on my website as a central and related place for distribution.

The array is practically an overwrite of the array that handles the WordPress’ default smilies.

PS. I’m about to update the plugin to allow this fallback to plugin’s smiley dir, among a few other things that I’ve thought of over the last hour.

[master5o1]

Hi. In the plugin directory I have included a folder named smilies. Copy this directory and its contents into the ./wp-content/ directory.

Essentially:

mv ./wp-content/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/smilies ./wp-content/ -r

If you want to change the smilies, take a look at the package-config.php file inside the smilies directory mentioned above and you can probably work out how to switch the files, or add more to the set.

—-

I think I’ll update my plugin so that instead of defaulting to WordPress’ smilies, it’ll defaults to the smilies folder in the plugin dir.

ie: Order of preference will become:

if option allows custom smilies:

./wp-content/smilies/

./wp-content/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/smilies/

else:

WordPress’ default set.

I have a clean brand new install of WordPress.

I installed the buddypress plugin and it seems like it works fine. I don’t like the fact you can’t make any changes to it’s internal install of bbpress (no settings page that I could find) so I don’t enable the forum.

I install the bbPress Plugin (2.0-beta-3b) and it shows up in the dashboard. I can create forums and posts. I cannot get to the default listing of forums on the site.

mydomain.com/forums/ – goes to what looks like a blank wordpress page named “Forums”

I can click view forum from withing the dashboard and it takes me to the forum topic

[macmullet]

I converted from standalone BBPress to BBPress 2.0 as a plugin and made a page with the forum topics as my home page. None of the paging links at the top of the page work. Click any number and it only pulls back the first page.

http://jawsmovie.com/?paged=2

is the same as

http://jawsmovie.com/?paged=54

etc.

I tried changing permalinks and if I do anything other than the default setting, I get 404 errors.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Please let me know if there is a way to customize “bbpress login widget” (the default widget when you install bbpress 2.0 plugin) to redirect to current page when logging in? The current setup is that no matter what page you are in, you will be redirected to the front page.

[sithinquisitor]

Hi again

I have remedied a part of this by making a new page template for the page that shows bbpress.

http://www.sithinquisitors.com/sith-inquisitor-forums/

My problem now is that all other pages apart from the forum main page wont use the template page I have made and revert back to the three column default template of the site. Such as http://www.sithinquisitors.com/old-republic-forum/class-discussion/

Is there something that I am missing to get this to work? thanks!

[fleetadmiral]

I’m using Avatar Upload with the Misty Morning theme and that theme seems to work best with avatars not much bigger than 50×50 pixels.

Trouble is, the user data I have imported from an old bbPress install seems to have existing users’ avatar sizes embedded somewhere – so that even the default avatar is coming up for existing users as 100×100 as it was on the old site. New users seem to be OK and working as Avatar Upload intended.

Is there anywhere in the database I can find this old avatar data and any way I can delete/change it?

@John

Thanks for responding. I thought I followed every step. Let me clarify since I messed up my earlier clarification.

I initially copied the default theme put it in the same plugin directory and renamed it to bbp-empt. I included the function code in my main theme “Cost” directory function.php file. After some fooling around I realized nothing was working so I came here and followed every step in this thread instead of half-assin it like it did before.

I would prefer not to use a child theme since I’m the Author of the “Cost” named theme I’m using. I guess I don’t quite understand how I get bbpress to use bbp-empt when it’s sitting in my Cost directory. Is there a instruction manual that describes that process?

Or is it a simple function name change or is there a place in the WP admin area I missed which allows you to chose the which template bbpress uses?

[Erlend]

I’ve grown to really like the theme used in these forums. Is it one of the defaults that comes with v2.0?

Nope, afraid not. This theme was custom made for the bbpress.org website, and furthermore it’s made for bbPress 1.0, not the bbPress 2.0 plugin, which I believe handles theming somewhat differently.

Maybe whoever made the theme will be willing to look into it seeing as the new bbPress is going stable any day now.

I’m new to this plugin and to bbpress in general though I do work with WordPress on a regular basis. The forums load fine. I would like to copy the default theme and customize my own based on the original.

The problem is, I don’t see a place where I can choose a template for BBPress to use. Is there a place in the WP admin panel I’m overlooking or do I need a custom function to load a specific theme?

Any help would be appreciated.

[Erlend]

It strikes me as a really useful feature to have for forums, yet it doesn’t seem to be included by default for the forum post type. Is there any particular reason for this?

[bradsucks]

Thanks Andre — working good here now, though I’ve switched to a custom template page now that I see how it works. My next (and hopefully last) question:

On my topics index page I’ve included the form-topic template so users can create topics from that page. The topic form however seems to have no functionality for choosing what forum to post in so it defaults to one of them. Is there a way to fix that?

Thanks again.

Hi

I hope to find an answer here. I write to WordPress, to bluehost, everywhere and anybody answer to me. I explain my problem:

I must re-install all my website, and it’s impossible to have on-site

registration box, on the right column in the begin. I try all since for

days. Only invitations run. But I want register members who want to take

part on this platform.

The page of BP Compability, this sentence is:

“Navigation Links

“You may want to add new navigation tabs or links to your theme to link to

BuddyPress directory pages. The default set of links are:

Register: http://www.faicmfsf.org/register/ (registration must be

enabled)”

But I look at for this file, I don’t find it. I made a special page for

regster too, but it didn’t run. For all other files for register, they are

all active, it’s ok. Just one on “BuddyPress / pb-core / pb-core-

signup.php (inactive)” What I must to do.

I want to put widgets for register, but anyone run. Sorry for my bad

english.

In bbPress 2.0 is there a way to get all the topics on one page like in the forums here? Right now it seems to default to showing you a list of forums at /forums/ but I’d rather visitors see a list of all the topics. Thanks!

[arbingersys]

I’m scratching my head on this one. I can’t get bbPress to install, and it always complains about connecting to the database.

The mySql server is remote, and I’ve tried adding it in with the hostname as well as the IP. No dice.

I know the default answer is a credentials problem, but if I use SSH and connect to the website that will host bbPress, I can do

mysql -h hostname -uusername -ppassword

and connect fine.

I can also use the above command to connect from my workstation, remotely. I’ve copy-pasted the credentials dozens of times, verified that it has read/write access to the DB, etc.

I’ve even copied bb-config-sample.php to bb-config.php and edited it manually, but it still can’t connect to the database.

Any ideas what I might try next? Thanks.

[seoguy81]

Im using the jobroller theme which comes with it’s own edit profile interface. Is there a way to tweak the bbpress user edit URL so the users are taken to the default edit profile page?

I’m editing the bbp-user-template.php but kind of stuck here.

Appreciate any responses.

P.S: Instead of rewriting the URLS.. I just want to divert people to something.com/myprofile

[brassblogs]

Hey all –

I’m hoping I’m just missing something here, but I’m trying to create a new template (to match a WordPress theme I’m working on). I’ve created a folder within the bbp-themes folder, and added a stylesheet and one file (I’m just testing it right now to get a feel for how the theming system works): page-front-forums.php.

The thing is, when I do this, ALL of my themes in the WordPress back end (under appearance > themes), save the twenty Ten (default WP theme and the bbPress version) go away. ALL of them. Now, the current theme is still working on the front end of the site, but on the back end, there’s no themes at all – they are all gone.

So can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong here? Am I putting the bbPress theme files in the wrong place? Or is this some kind of bug?

[Swaree]

Got thru installation procedure, but one error when tried to create ‘bb_allposts’ table. Error seems to be syntax error??? How do I fix or how do I re-install? If I have to re-install, do I need to remove anything first?

Hope you can help

I am using BBPress version 1.0.3 with default theme.

Also I see that there is a dropdown at the left sidebar on this forum to change to status to resolved. How can I add this same functionality to my BBPress forum?

[CrownOfMars]

I’m wanting to change the default page.php being used. I found this earlier on in this thread.

add_filter( ‘bbp_template_include’, ‘foo’ );

function foo( $file ) { return ‘page-forums.php’; }

This is no longer working. It worked perfectly on a previous site but not this current one. I get the following error:

Warning: include(page-forums.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:Program Filesxampphtdocsspawp-includestemplate-loader.php on line 43

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘page-forums.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.;C:Program FilesxamppphpPEAR’) in C:Program Filesxampphtdocsspawp-includestemplate-loader.php on line 43

The page-forums.php file does exist so that’s not the problem. Any ideas?

[master5o1]

I’ve asked for hosting and it’s approved. I removed the zip because i need to figure out which one of my copies is the best to put into the browser.

Currently I’ve just been editing the live plugin on my Tartarus test site, and then copying to test-and-edit on a more default WP+bbP on my dumping ground.

Tartarus = http://beta.tartarus.co.nz

dumping ground = http://dump.master5o1.com/wpbb/
