@ Michael888

I’ve installed it propertly, maybe I should note that I’ve integrated bbpress with wordpress and that my wordpress installation is in a diffrent database then my bbpress. (And that wordpress doesn’t use the default prefix)

Note: I want to mention here that the author of this plugin is no more active. He make this plugin but something is wrong with this pluing. he tell us wrong path for plugins files. But I’ve little bit knowledge of php that’s why i correct its path now the path of the plugins files which I’ve mentioned above is totally correct and working fine.

Now I really need to your help. If someone will not guide me then I’ll leave this software “bbpress” and I’ll move to vBulletin or phpbb after disheart….

So I’m waiting for positive answers from developers… Thanks … And Love you all

Hi all, needed some help with wordpress.

my wordpress add is at http://www.myfairmissy.com/janie/

my bbpress add is at http://www.myfairmissy.com/janie/forums

followed instructions for the cookies and still resulted in me loggin in 1 side and auto-logout on the other.

also would like to know which plug-in should i use for the wordpress if i want ,primarily to…

– i want my wordpress homepage to show 5 columns x 5 rows of latest post image, which will be grabbed from a few specific forum in BBpress. i also need a few buttons to sort or filter results by recent,by view counts, by specific forum

-i want my wordpress to have a few horizontal navigation bars at the header instead of the default ones at the side.

-i want to be change the default header image to my own and able to make my left/right sides blank like this forum. the left/right sides should be easily customized with my preferred wallpaper.

i hope i’m not asking for too much.

thanks in advance

[buddha-trance]

@jackey – maybe the problem is theme related. Did you try to activate the default Kakumei theme and see if bbPolls behave normally? This would help pin down the problem.

[jackey]

Tried re-installing it after an update to iBlogForum 1.02.

But still the same. When I click to add a poll, nothing happens.

When I try to alter the Polls’ configuration or reset it to default, it wipes my iBlogForum configuration.

Another strange behaviour that I do not know if it is related… everywhere were I enter quotes, bbPress changes this to ‘ time over time so after a few edits you end up with \\\\\’

[buddha-trance]

@arpowers – I deep integrated my local installation, just to test, and I have the same problem. All template tags work fine, but the Page Mash plugin is displaying all hidden pages, and the sidebar is only displaying the default place holder widgets, but not the other ones.

I believe that the problem is that the plugin settings and other data are stored in the wp_options table, and this is not being pulled into bbPress. It seems like deep integration allows for the use of the wp template tags, but not much more beyond it… Maybe there is a way to make the wp_options table available to bbPress, by defining something in bb-config.php?

[Marius-]

Is it possible to change the default “Member” link benath nicks to something else?

I would like to change it to “info”.

[Marius-]

Glad you’re in on it folks.

I believe that if BBPRess was included in the WordPress install, as a default plugin or something, it would force higher interest.

[hatter]

Ok, I think I see the problem now. If you look at the source code for the page 1 link, it generates an empty href element, which by default will link back to the current page. This is generated in the bb_paginate_links function in bb-includesfunctions.bb-core.php. Can you try something real quick, as a possible fix? Around line 244, you will see the following:

$empty_format = ”;

Change this to:

$empty_format = ‘/’;

This will generate an href of “/” which should lead to the root of your forum. Please let us know if this works.

[buddha-trance]

@Nightgunner5 – Thank you for the tip. I will try to do as you suggest. It’s so much better to leave the core files in their original state. I have never tried to create a plugin, this is a good reason to start!

[Ben L.]

Because it’s in functions.bb-pluggable.php, you can copy the function into a plugin file and edit it from there. No work needed when upgrading, and it can be turned on and off.

[buddha-trance]

I am sharing this, just in case it may help someone else looking to implement this feature. There is a great plugin that does this, bbAvatars, but it was interfering with other functions I wanted to implement, so I had to find a workaround (bbPress 1.0.2).

With the premise that I really don’t like to edit core files, because you have to remember to edit them each time you upgrade, this time I had no choice, as any avatar plugin I tried did not work out for my purposes. There are a few simple steps you can use to set your own custom avatar, when users have not set a gravatar account.

1 – I have noticed that the “blank” choice in the settings is the only one that refers to an internal image, so you just want the code to point to your own custom image, rather than “blank.gif” (which may be also used for other calls, so I wanted to leave that one alone and not replace it with another custom blank).

In “bb-includes”, look for the file “functions.bb-pluggable.php”, and edit around line 895, where it says

case 'blank':

$default = bb_get_uri( 'bb-admin/images/blank.gif', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_IMG_SRC );

and change blank.gif with your image, default.jpg or any other name.

2 – Upload your custom image in bb-admin/images (if you store it somewhere else, change the path in the code above accordingly).

3 – In your Admin Dashboard –> Settings –> Discussions, set the choice to “blank”.

Voila!!!!

To change the avatar size from the bbpress default size, in post.php of your templates, look for

<?php post_author_avatar_link(); ?>

and add the number of pixels inside (), for example:

<?php post_author_avatar_link(80); ?>

Hope this helps!

You should really figure out how to unzip files on your Vista machine. An unzip utility was included with Windows XP and I suspect one is included with Vista. You’re going to need it.

Anyway, you can download all the files here:

http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/avatar-upload/

The php files were all renamed php.txt so you can display them in your browser and save them, then upload them. You will need to keep the same directory structure. There is also a readme.txt file that is included that I did not rename.

Also, you’ll note on the plugin page that this says compatible up to 0.8.2.1 which is very very old. I have no idea if that works at all with whatever version you’re installing.

When you’re done, you should have something like this:

http://www.example.com/bbpress/my-plugins/avatar-upload/bb-avatar-upload.php

http://www.example.com/bbpress/my-plugins/avatar-upload/identicon.php

http://www.example.com/bbpress/my-plugins/avatar-upload/readme.txt

Ok I have written a function to get the tags in a row, but I want to have them comma seperated, any ideas?

function bb_row_tags( $args = null ) {

$defaults = array(

'tags' => false,

'format' => 'row',

'topic' => 0,

);



$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );

extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );



if ( !$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $topic ) ) ) {

return false;

}



if ( !is_array( $tags ) ) {

$tags = bb_get_topic_tags( $topic->topic_id );

}



if ( !$tags ) {

return false;

}



$r = '';

switch ( strtolower( $format ) ) {

case 'row' :

default :

$args['format'] = 'row';

foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {

$r .= _bb_row_tag_item( $tag, $args );

}

break;

}

echo $r;

}



function _bb_row_tag_item( $tag, $args ) {

$url = esc_url( bb_get_tag_link( $tag ) );

$name = esc_html( bb_get_tag_name( $tag ) );

if ( 'row' == $args['format'] ) {

$id = 'tag-' . $tag->tag_id . '_' . $tag->user_id;

return "t" . '<a href="' . $url . '" rel="tag">' . $name . '</a>' . "n";

}

}

[mrsparex]

Fortunately I’ll not be able to hear people laughing at me but I just bought hosting from Siteground (great service by the way) and they uploaded bbpress for me. I believe I found how/where to upload in the “my plugin” file. It asks where to download from… well….when I try to save the plugin download onto my computer it defaults to save it with notepad (offers internet explorer too). When I save it with notepad and then view the file it looks like wingdings on bad drugs. I know this is a silly question for most here…but how do I save a plugin download with Vista? (go ahead and laugh my speakers are off) LOL …I must to learn more basics before I can do this it appears. oh yeah….my site is pennyforums.com Thanks!

[chrishajer]

It looks like the default for that function is a list, but table would also be accepted. But the other choice, table, would just return (i.e., I don’t think they ever finished that, but were maybe planning on having other options.)

function bb_list_tags( $args = null )

{

$defaults = array(

'tags' => false,

'format' => 'list',

'topic' => 0,

'list_id' => 'tags-list'

);



$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );

extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );



if ( !$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $topic ) ) ) {

return false;

}



if ( !is_array( $tags ) ) {

$tags = bb_get_topic_tags( $topic->topic_id );

}



if ( !$tags ) {

return false;

}



$list_id = esc_attr( $list_id );



$r = '';

switch ( strtolower( $format ) ) {

case 'table' :

break;



case 'list' :

default :

$args['format'] = 'list';

$r .= '<ul id="' . $list_id . '" class="tags-list list:tag">' . "n";

foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {

$r .= _bb_list_tag_item( $tag, $args );

}

$r .= '</ul>';

break;

}



echo $r;

}

I hope someone else can come along and show how to do this with a plugin.

[chrishajer]

It’s styled perfectly here with the default kakumei theme:

http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/iappleit.png

And that stylesheet is right where you say it is:

http://iapple.it/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

[~/]$ curl -I http://iapple.it/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2009 18:40:14 GMT

[ciaravino]

When I try to go to http://iapple.it/forums , they aren’t styled even though I’m using one of the default themes. It says “Failed to load source for: http://iapple.it/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css&#8221;, and I don’t know why.

[chrishajer]

1. I see you’re using 1.0.1. I would recommend upgrading to the latest to see if that happens to fix it.

2. I added a tag to a topic, and I do not have the [X] to remove my own tag. Why can’t I delete my own tag?

There is also some additional functionality where it shows ‘tree’ by ‘chrishajer’ – that’s not there by default, so how is that being added?

This error does not occur by default in bbPress, so there is something specific about your installation. If it’s not the template, maybe it’s a plugin or something else you added.

[chrishajer]

I have a 1.0.2 installation and the forum_description call looks like this by default:

<?php forum_description( array( 'before' => '<small> – ', 'after' => '</small>' ) ); ?>

Did you try modifying that array to send before and after nothing?

<?php forum_description( array( 'before' => '', 'after' => '' ) ); ?>

Worked for me, on the front page. Or are you looking to modify something else? This modified the forums listed in #forumlist at the bottom of the front page.

[mrbluesummers]

To chime in, I’m having the same problem.

However, it looks like the plug-in just doesn’t know where to find install.php by default. For example, my install.php is in http://…/wp-content/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php but the 404 error comes when the plug-in looks for it in http://…/wp-content/bbpress/install.php

I’ve found that manually rewriting the URL to the true install.php will side-step the step 1 404 error.

[Greg]

I have a strange problem. When I’m on the forum front page or a forum page, the timezone is set to “America/Los_Angeles “, but when I go onto one of the topic pages, it is “Etc/GMT+7”.

I am checking by using the PHP function “date_default_timezone_get()” in the header right after the <body> tag.

These two are different by an hour because of daylight saving, which is causing an issue with the simple-onlinelist plugin.

Where in the initialization of bbPress is the timezone set? Any ideas why it would be set differently depending on the bbPress page that is loaded?

If it matters, I have deep integration with WordPress MU 2.8.4a, which also has the timezone at “America/Los_Angeles”.

Thanks.

[Kolya33]

Ah cool, that might help some people.

I use Notepad++ by the way and have it set to save in UTF8 by default. It’s easy enough to change though.

Once you know the problem that is.

[paamayim]

Same here, I did copy “kakumei” in my-templates, renamed the folder and started editing, but style.css is not found, neither are all pictures and the screenshot.png is not shown in admin->appearance. I can activate the template but all pics/style stuff is missing.

Any idea?

Forum funcionality and default theme are all working fine.

[arpowers]

you could be right; its a default bbpress core- — but I’ll look at the plugins..
