Those are warnings, not errors. They are only presented when E_STRICT is on, as the PHP engine can and will disregard them and continue to compile just fine. Without looking into the problem too deep (it’s getting on, and I’m about ready for bed), off the top of my head I would suggest that the deprecated warnings are due to the fact that PHPs handling of OOP has changed mildly between v4 and 5. Objects are now passed by reference by default, whereas in PHP4 they weren’t. Since bbPress is backwards compatible to work on PHP4 (it cuts down on the snarky accusations that one might receive for being version specific), it will return warnings in PHP5 that are just that. Warnings.

That’s the only real problem too. Turn off E_STRICT and you won’t get the remaining notices. The ‘headers already sent’ errors are due to the fact that you’re getting the deprecated warning (which outputs text to the screen, thus sending headers) before the script has completed its run.

So… simply put, it can be called stable, as it’s purely your setup that is causing the issue, not bbPress itself.

I would like to make email addresses viewable in member profiles to all of my forum members (but not unregistered viewers). By default, email addresses are only viewable to admins. How can I change this?

[gerikg]

that’s strange I thought by default, people have to register. What version are you using and you have any integration?

[chrishajer]

By default, non-logged in members cannot post. How is it that they can post in your forum? Are you using a plugin?

And by ‘make a reply to a post’, what do you mean? That the reply is not threaded or indented, or maybe you mean they’re not able to quote the message they’re replying to?

Please clarify. Thanks.

“Currently, plug-ins for both WordPress and bbPress, WordPress’ forum software solution are available.”

*sigh*

Apparently the bbPress plugin is still in alpha, as of about 10 days ago:

http://forum.gigya.com/forum/Default.aspx?g=posts&m=1619

The WordPress one is released though, so maybe it’d be fine under a WP/bbP integration setup

I have developed an ajaxed chat plugin, which uses phpfreechat.net script. That script has multiple themes, multiple languages, and multiple features.

There is also a settings page in which you can save various parameters/config for the script.

There can be 2 types of storages – mysql & file, default is mysql, it automatically uses the bbPress db you are using and makes tableprefixajaxed_chat table.

You can see the various commands that can be used in chat, and the FAQ at phpfreechat.net

There are 2 ways you can call the chat:

http://yoursite.com/?chat

or by placing this code anywhere in your template:

<?php if (function_exists('ajaxed_chat_load')) ajaxed_chat_load(); ?>

Live Demo (At my test forums): http://forum.gaut.am/ (inside template) or http://forum.gaut.am/?chat (full screen)

Download Link – http://gaut.am/uploads/ajaxed-chat-1.0-beta.zip

Note – It is beta version, not a release (for now)

I still need to work on the admin settings page, but still its not too bad for now.

Comments, feedback & suggestions are welcomed!

By default the text in the text box when you are writing a message is the Courier New. How can I change it?

I had a problem with a css file that wouldn’t import a php file. (@import url(css/loader.php)

look at the main css file and see if there is any importing involved.

All my code is written against 1.0.2 SVN, so it’s not 0.9-only and yeah, $allowed_tags is meant to be changed and then back again, not the cleanest way of doing things, but it should work.

function do_action($tag, $arg = '')

do_action() has an arguments variable as it’s 2nd argument, sorry for not being clearer. That’s passed when it runs an action function and if nothing is passed, it defaults to an empty string.

$bb_table_prefix would be the prefix for the bbPress tables though, wouldn’t it? In the case of a WP/bbP integration, the bbPress user data is stored in the WordPress user tables, so those aren’t under the same prefix as the bbPress tables. Unless it changes automatically for WordPress user tables somehow?

[chandersbs]

By default the reply form/box only shows on the last page of a topic, if it has more than one page. If a topic has 5 pages, and you click reply on page 2, it will take u the reply form, which is located at page 5.

I did a hack in a file to make it show on all pages.

Open functions.bb-template.php and find

$defaults = array(

‘h2’ => ”,

‘last_page_only’ => true

Replace this with

$defaults = array(

‘h2’ => ”,

‘last_page_only’ => false

I’m confident that is not the best way, if someone has a better way, please leave a reply, this method is however working.

[johnhiler]

What about the theme folders inside of my-templates… are those also 755?

[RahimTSNE]

I gave permission 755 to both directories (see http://i36.tinypic.com/104htg8.jpg) but still not working.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

fix file permissions of my-templates & my-plugins folder – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-my-templates-my-plugins-folder-not-working-bbpress/

[RahimTSNE]

Recently i launched my forum at http://explore.maheroo.com. I am facing problem using theme rather than default.I uploaded four theme in my-templates directory created by the bbpress installer (latest version). But when i switch to the any of the templates, none of them is working. I added a link upward to visit the site looking for the problem. could anybody help me out of this. at present i activated peacemaker and remaining three are inove, guangzhou and WPmimic.

thanks

[johnhiler]

I don’t know the default number of tags… should be straightforward to test.

You might want to try this hot tags plugin, which is much more powerful/flexible than the standard bbpress hot tag calls…

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hot-tags-plus/

[InvTrdr]

Just an ad on TV. Saw the post. How many tags are posted by default? Or without the code all tags show up by default.

Thanks.

[InvTrdr]

Thanks. It worked. I thought a sticky would be at the top by default.

Hi everyone, I just started a site that uses WP and BBP together, and aside from a few outstanding issues, things are working out nicely.

I built a theme for the forum that matches the WP theme, and it has a sidebar. When the user is logged in, it shows Welcome [username] and shows the avatar, a link to edit profile, my favorites, and log out.

How can I have if the keymaster/admin/mod is logged in, a link to the dashboard? I tried some code from the default template, but nothing really seems to give me a direct link to admin. Is there a templates tag list for bbpress like the one for wordpress?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

My case is a little different then the search results I had, so a new topic.

As soon as I change my permalinks for bbPress, I get 404 errors for bbPress (even for bb-admin) so I lost control of everything and i had to manually delete the .htaccess file

Now when I switch to the 2nd permalink option then the forum loads up, admin panel is accessible too but any topic page or forum page gives a 404. And now when I switch back to none settings of the permalink everything works fine.

I delete the WP .htaccess too but it looks like that its permalink are working without any .htaccess file

I am a little lost here to what could be the problem.

Also when I delete the .htaccess file, the admin panel keeps redirecting me to the front page until I log out and login again from bbPress side.

I am stuck with the default permalinks option now.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

$limit was passed something which wasn’t numeric because… I guess that’s what do_action() does when it doesn’t have any arguments? Doing a var_dump(), it appears to be an empty string, so I guess it just passed the default value of the argument variable.

I found it because I noticed the SQL query wasn’t valid when it was run in phpMyAdmin and then noticed that there wasn’t anything after LIMIT.

I don’t know if there’s any performance gain, but it’s how bbPress code is written iirc and in the case of calling the user table, it’s essential when you’re working with a WP/bbP integration (as the table prefix is different).

So mostly it allows for the table names to be entirely variable, which is probably better practice in case a plugin changes them.

[Justin Tadlock]

I was trying to figure out where I downloaded this plugin, but the author’s site isn’t really up at the moment.

http://justintadlock.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/inactivetomember.zip

What this does is check if the current user (once logged in) has a role. If he doesn’t, it gives them the default bbPress role.

If anyone can find the original download link, mods, feel free to remove the link to my zip file.
