I said change the database name since I’m changing it from the default entry in **-config-sample.php to the same database name as on my wp-config.php

I found the error — basically I had copy-pasted the whole database name line, quite unthinkingly; hence the constant was also renamed. Fixed now

would be the best way to take the default WP theme -> and add the BBpress needed functions into it? (and add a few files from the BBpress needed theme) ?

This is the only bad thing about Wp and BBp integration isn’t as smooth as it should be, and the DEV should have had Wp / BBp compatibility #1 .. At the moment they depend to much on community work.

@mwaterous: Sorry, now i know what you mean. Yes, you´re right. This is really not what i want to do.

@all: I tested the above mentioned fix once again with the default theme and got it working after changing the css file too… But as mwaterous said: this fix is not removing the brackets. It just fixes the line break between the brackets. I´d like to completely remove the brackets. Where they´re generated?

Replace the code from the default theme in your code and then try.

[frasermassey]

By the way, have tried switching to the default theme which made no difference.

The default Kakumei theme shows two variables in the user section of every post, at left.

You can see them both here as well, in this very post.

The first one is defined in the profile page as Display name as and links to whatever appears in the Website field.

The second one is defined in the profile page as User Type (which most often defaults to Member), links to the Profile page of the specific user, and could be changed by the Custom Title field.

How would it be possible to drop the User Type and just keep the Display name as linking to the user Profile page?

I wrote a plugin which will show some data by a mysql query and I am doing it using $bbdb and I hooked it to the post_post_form but the problem is that the variable intended to store the query result is empty.

However if I manually call the function in the template it works fine.

I am using the default theme. What could be the problem?

If your theme doesn’t already have a functions.php, you can create one and add that code to it – it will automatically be found and run by bbPress, and it’s a lot safer than adding it to the core code (next time you upgrade, it will overwrite).

1. bbPress doesn’t have signatures by default, so I’m guessing you’re using a plugin for this? If you are, hopefully the designer has added a filter which you can hook into, but we’d have to take a look at the specific plugin you’re using.

2. You should have a style.css file in your bb-templates/yourthemename/ directory. Find that file, and do a search for ‘textarea’. It should possibly be under ‘.postform textarea’ to be more specific. Look and see if there’s a font-size attribute there, and up the size.

Hey, anybody still using that plugin? I mean – anybody with a bbPress 0.9 install…

Because I’d like to know if someone can help me with a little improvement. The plugin works great except for that it shows all the pages for a topic. And certain topics have more that 20-30 pages!

So I wonder if it is not too hard to make that plugin display links only to the first page and the last 4-5 pages? Just like the default in-topic pagination.

I wonder if it is possible to port that functionality directly form bbPress 1.0?

Thanks

I installed tinymce using their wiki defaults

however, now on my page when you go to post a topic, it has one textarea that is normal (as if I never installed tinymce)…and then a textarea below it that is for tinymce (all of the bolds, italics, etc work for it)

how do I get rid of the top textarea?? thanks

Hello,

I created a forum on bbpress. As default I selected theme Kakumei. I want to change a look of my forum and decided to find an other theme. I found a theme Crystal. I downloaded this theme from site mybbpress (there is redirection on 33 rockers).

During installation I followed instructions. I read a file readme.txt and put the content of directory Crystal in myforum.com/bb-templates. But after installation I couldn’t find this theme in my Admin: there wasn’t in Appearance, plugins and other places. I read instructions on bbpress.org and put directory Crystal in myforum.org/my-templates too. But the result was same. I can’t find theme on admin of my forum.

What did I do wrong?

[InvTrdr]

If I change the default theme in bbPress from Kakumei to a different one I lose the image uploading ability even though it is an active plugin and works on Kakumei.

Thank you.

How is a “Sticky” post made in bbPress? I am using Kakumei, the default template.

Thanks.

[InvTrdr]

I am using the default K theme in bbPress.

Thank you.

The error message was “DB Error: cannot find”. Figured out that for some reason the database name filled in during step1 was not caught by the bbpress-config.php file as you can see in the code above. The BBDB_NAME has been left “bbpress” as in default. Changed it in the file and it worked. Now onto Step2.

Thanks.

[crguy]

Fixed it.

I logged into phpMyAdmin

Default Database Setting on My Server:

MySQL connection collation: utf8_unicode_ci

I changed it to utf8_general_ci and deleted the bb_ tables in the database and removed the bb-config.php file and went through installation again.

All appears to be good now.

The first “forum” is the forum’s folder and the second is used to identity a (sub)forum.

The same way like a tag or topic is identified. You can change the forum’s folder name, that’s all.

the structure make sense:

https://bbpress.org/forums/ (forums home)

https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/troubleshooting (the troubleshooting forum)

[ppalayo]

I’m a newbie with bbpress.

I just installed a new forum in a new folder “forum” and I want to know how to make some changes.

I want to change my url from http://my.site.com/forum/forum/my-topic to http://my.site.com/forum/my-topic

The default word after http://my.site.com/forum/ is “forum” can I change this?

I can’t find an option in permalinks.

Same concept for bbPress. You could make all those plain text if you like, they’re built that way by default for people who need to translate their sites.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

There might be a fatal database error, and database errors might hidden by default, $bbdb->suppress_errors( false ); will turn them on if they are. Obvious question is, does that work without any database interaction?

The default 404 page doesn’t have much of value to offer a visitor that stumbles your website via an organic search result. This is why I have enhanced mine 404 page a bit and I would like to share that with you guys.

Add 301 redirect for 404 pages

Pages that have been removed to a different URL, will show a 404 page. Add a 301 redirect to your 404 page that will redirect the user to its new address.

Suppose you had an address domain/old-url this got moved to domain/new-address, add the follow code to your 404.php (located in your bb-templates folder). Add this to the top of the page.

<?php

$redirect_301 = array(

'/old-url/' => '/new-url',

'/another-old-url' => '/another-new-url'

);

$request = $_SERVER;

if (array_key_exists($_SERVER, $redirect_301)) {

header(“HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”);

header(‘Location: http://www.yourdomain.com&#8217; . $redirect_301[$request] );

die();

}

?>

Also you can change the default text:

<p><?php _e('I'm sorry, but there is nothing at this URL.'); ?></p>

Into something more nice, like:

<p><?php _e('The page you are looking for can not be found or it has been removed. You can always just browse the website or even use the search form below to try another search.'); ?></p>

<?php search_form(); ?>

What do you guys think?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Apart from the template files forum.php and topic.php that use the bb_forum_bread_crumb() (which just builds the breadcrumb for forums / topics), the separator is also hardcoded into several (all?) other template files to give custom titles, which I’m afraid have to be changed by hand.

The only central location would be the default of bb_forum_bread_crumb(), which you shouldn’t change.

That last plugin hasn’t been updated since January and is only compatible up to wordpress 2.7. It only adds a default role to bbpress, but if you’ve matched your wordpress and bbpress roles, this isn’t necessary, if it ever was.

A plugin should not be necessary in order for someone to register on a wordpress blog or on bbpress. Under the Settings/General you have a place to set the default role for new members; Subscriber, Administrator, Editor, Author, or Contributor for wordpress and those roles can be matched up to bbpress roles under Settings/WordPress Integration.

aMember.com mentions wordpress integration but not bbpress on their site, so I think that might be the issue.
