betwixt: probably the best thing to do is to redesign the default kakumei theme to make it look exactly like the WordPress theme you are using.

Is there a particular WordPress theme you are using or is your design custom?

[Sam Bauers]

The sub-forum setup may not be what you are after exactly, but it is the only way to closely approximate your needs using a default install.

Categories (similar to what you show in your image) was something I spent quite a lot of effort on a few releases ago. It never made it to core, but there is still an intention to add similar functionality in the future. I’m thinking maybe we should have forums which don’t hold topics, and act as de-facto categories when they contain sub-forums. This is future stuff though, for now sub-forums is as good as it gets.

After filling in step one of the installation I get this message:

Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

Finished!

I’m sorry I don’t understand what all that means. Can someone here help me? Thanks.

You changed the installation from forums to bbpress, but you didn’t make the change in the config.php. So, your forum is at http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/, but the config has $bb->uri = 'http://www.reviewsaurus.com/forums/'; You need to change one or the other (either the folder name or the URI in the config) for it to work.

As proof, I can see http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css just fine.

[mayankg]

Hello,

I followed all the steps mentioned in the installation and bbpress got installed properly but it doesn’t display the forum properly.

you can see the forum login here : http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/

but you’ll see that it doesn’t look correct as no images no css is loaded.

It’s a fresh installation and i’ve not changed anything else. Can you please suggest me what could be the problem….I’m using the pretty permalinks feature….could that be a problem?

[chrishajer]

Yes, use the same database (it’s easier later with integration) and you can even leave the default table prefix in the bbPress config.php. By default, WordPress uses a table prefix of wp_ and bbPress uses bb_, so there is no conflict, and even if bbPress goes horribly wrong, it won’t hurt WordPress at all.

Good luck. I’m in Chicago too if you need any help.

[tbronson]

Thanks, chrishajer, this…

<?php tag_heat_map( 8, 16, ‘pt’, 100); ?>

…worked, putting the parameters in the template tag, although I don’t know why, ’cause the default values seemed to be changed in the function in template-functions.php. But, I don’t care why, either, since it works!

[chrishajer]

With integration, it’s easiest to use the same database, then just change the table prefix (or leave it at the default for bbpress – there’s no conflict.) If you use the same database, then just use the database connection details from wp-config.php.

It seems you can’t even SHOW TABLES, not even talking about creating anything yet. The permissions required to SHOW TABLES are much less than those needed to create a table.

Something weird is going on and we’re going to smack our heads when we realize how simple it really was.

[ericakadisco]

Hey Chris,

I had created a second bbpress database called bbpress2 to see if that was the problem, which it wasn’t. The error message is an older one. The one I’m getting now is in reference to bbpress, not bbpress2 like above. But everything else is the same:

bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']

SHOW TABLES;



bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']

CREATE TABLE bb_forums ( forum_id int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, forum_name varchar(150) NOT NULL default '', forum_slug varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', forum_desc text NOT NULL, forum_parent int(10) NOT NULL default '0', forum_order int(10) NOT NULL default '0', topics bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', posts bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (forum_id) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8



bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']

CREATE TABLE bb_posts

Question: can I use the same database as my WordPress database?

I may call my hosting provider to see if there is something wrong with the way mysql databases are set up. Perhaps I can connect but can’t create tables?

Thanks for all your work on this!

Eric

[ericakadisco]

Also, using a test script, I entered the same database information that’s in my bbpress config.php file and I can successfully connect to my database. The user, Disco, is the default user and is database administrator so there’s no reason why I should get access denied.

[ericakadisco]

I am installing bbPress to integrate with an existing WordPress. After the second step of install I get this error:

Second Step



Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some

default data.



bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to

database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress2']

SHOW TABLES;



bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to

database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress2']

CREATE TABLE bb_forums....

It seems to be similar to this post,

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/step-two-database-error?replies=4

And this one,

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/db-access-problem-in-the-first-installation-step?replies=19

I tried to resolve it by replacing db-mysqli.php with db.php in the bb-includes folder and that didn’t work.

The username and password are correct. They are the same as for my original wordpress blog. And the database is correct as well. When I change it to something else I can’t even get to the second step.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Plugin’s page

[lookfab]

Is there a simple way (i.e. not involving a plug-in) to change the title of a view? For example, if I wanted the view “Topics with no replies” to say “Threads with no replies”, how can I do this?

I do see that the views are set up in default-filters.php, so I guess I’m asking whether there is an easy way to override these view definitions using code in the theme.

Thanks.

[jazbek]

thanks, yeah, i am not using bbpress + wordpress on the installation i’m trying to disable posts and registration on.. that’s the old one that’s getting moved to the new site that has wordpress.

0.8 doesn’t have plugin activation, i guess everything’s just enabled by default (someone correct me if i’m wrong). i’ll have to check out capabilities.php tomorrow (i’m off to a halloween party!). thanks for the help.

[livibetter]

Have you tried to search one in Extend?

If you find no plugin and you can do code, I think you can check line 18 in /bb-post.php, line 479 in /bb-includes/capabilities.php.

You need to check current user’s is allowed to start a new topic in specific forum or not in your filter hook.

Just thoughts, but should work.

PS. I think it’s better not to do too much that bbPress can’t by default, or you could suffer more after upgrading unless you completely know what you do.

[livibetter]

Currently, bb-admin/admin-header.php uses active template’s logged-in.php. I changed this php in my theme, and it looks a little bit strange in admin page.

I think admin page shouldn’t use any files from templates, even the default template. Could this be an issue?

And it seems no need to use login_form(), it should just include a logged-in.php in bb-admin or simply put codes within admin-header.php.

[krussell]

I’m looking for advice on how to modify the search functionality to paginate the results that are returned; i.e. the default functionality returns N matches in each of the following categories: thread title, recent posts and relevant posts, but I would like to allow a user to scroll through repeated pages of search results.

I’ve had a look at search.php and this is structured around returning a fixed number of results for each query, which effectively hides anything that doesn’t come up in the first N results of the search. The concept of listing the results of 3 different queries in one results page also seems to be incompatible with providing a pagination mechanism (which list do you paginate?). I feel that the default method of handling search results is a bit limited and confusing for users familiar with a typical Google-style search that returns one simple list in multiple pages.

I have had a look at the code, but I’m no PHP guru; is there any way of getting the sort of results I would like without fundamentally rewriting the search mechanism?

p.s. not being overly critical here – I think bbPress is a great piece of work!

[livibetter]

I wrote a simple plugin for Gravatar. I am planning to put files on Extend, but I am still waiting. You can download it from Google Code for now, please visit this plugin’s homepage. You can find a download link and know how to modify your theme in the page.

It is relatively simple:

• Gravatar Email field – This plugin doesn’t use user’s registered email.
• Email Verification – Users need to own the Gravatar Emails which they input.
• Support Default Image
• Size customized (1..80px)

I hope I can hear your thoughts about this plugin.

[iamfyrestorm]

Well, I don’t know, but since there’s a deregister view following the register view function maybe it’s not necessary.

function bb_register_view( $view, $title, $query_args = '' ) {

global $bb_views;



$view  = bb_slug_sanitize( $view );

$title = wp_specialchars( $title );



if ( !$view || !$title )

return false;



$query_args = wp_parse_args( $query_args );



if ( !$sticky_set = isset($query_args['sticky']) )

$query_args['sticky'] = 'no';



$bb_views[$view]['title']  = $title;

$bb_views[$view]['query']  = $query_args;

$bb_views[$view]['sticky'] = !$sticky_set; // No sticky set => split into stickies and not

return $bb_views[$view];

}



function bb_deregister_view( $view ) {

global $bb_views;



$view = bb_slug_sanitize( $view );

if ( !isset($bb_views[$view]) )

return false;



unset($GLOBALS['bb_views'][$view]);

return true;

}

I’m in trouble if I ever need to create my own views or if the views that are being created in the default-filters.php page are ever used. But until I get a response from someone that knows what’s going on, I’m running bbPress without it register views.

[livibetter]

I made another approach to fit this need and used it on my forum.

function ChangeRoleDisplayName() {

global $bb_roles;

$bb_roles->role_names['keymaster'] = "Toilet Cleaner";

[...]

}



add_action('bb_got_roles', 'ChangeRoleDisplayName', 10, 0);

?>

The complete code is in role-display-name.php.

[iamfyrestorm]

I’ve done a little more troubleshoot, although it’s gotten me nowhere, but I’ll post it here in the event that someone may be able to help me:

Line 81 in the bb-includes/default-filters.php file is:

bb_register_view('no-replies', __('Topics with no replies'), array('post_count'=>1));

I did a search in the files and “bb_register_view” pops up in 3 files:

default-filters.php

functions.php

template-functions.php

[_ck_]

I think there is indeed a gravatar for bbpress plugin but I like the more developed avatar plugin by Louise Dade.

A locally cached copy of a gravatar is always better than relying on the remote copy, even with the enhanced WP speed. Perhaps Louise’s can show the remote gravatar and give the member the option to use it as the default local. I’ve got a very large blog using gravatars and polling for a couple thousand members is a serious load issue with gravatars.

Then there is the issue of universal avatar support across bbPress<->WP which I don’t quite have working yet, I have to look at what other people have done.

In any case this is a good move for gravatars. But I simply cannot believe they built something with Ruby on Rails and were hoping to scale it for millions of users though. That’s going to have to be changed radically.

[iamfyrestorm]

I’m doing a fresh install of bbpress. I’m not linking it to wp.

I’m getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /home/2816/domains/ridetoremedy.com/html/community/bb-includes/default-filters.php on line 81

My config file is correct. It’s linking to the same db as wp (simply because there’s no reason to use a different db if I can just prefix the tables differents, i.e. bb)

Any help would be appreciated. I don’t want to have to go to a different forum system, but I really thought this would be easier than it’s turning out to be.

Thanks

[JRussell]

Okay, wow. It looks like I may have figured it out. All I did was set Permalinks to default within WordPress 2.3 and the installation came up. Sweet!

[slexaxton]

This has been scarcely tested, but I think I have a fix for my bug… weird…

in the bb-includes/capabilities.php file there is a function at the bottom that looks like this:

function bb_give_user_default_role( $user ) {

if ( !( is_object($user) && is_a($user, 'BB_User') ) )

return;

$user->set_role('member');

}

I changed it to look like this:

function bb_give_user_default_role( $user ) {

if ( !( is_object($user) && is_a($user, 'wp_User') ) )

return;

$user->set_role('member');

}

Instead of checking to see if the bb_user existed, we wanted to check to see if the wordpress user existed, assuming we merged our user table. For some reason, this seems like a bug in the bbPress code. Shouldn’t that be a variable prefix to begin with?
