AHA!

I found a bug. Finally I can contribute.

WordPress does indeed auto-close tags and has a fantastic routine, the balancetags I mentioned above.

HOWEVER

it was copied raw into BBpress and it won’t work by default because it’s looking for an option that will never be set because BBpress doesn’t have it

function balanceTags($text, $is_comment = 0, $force = false) {

if ( !$force && get_option(‘use_balanceTags’) == 0 )

return $text;

See what I mean? There’s no manually way to set use_balanceTags in BBpress.

So how do we force the filter on? I know it has to be balanceTags ($text,1,1) to work.

[_ck_]

Actually I may be wrong about this.

I dug through the default filters and I see this:

add_filter(‘pre_post’, ‘balanceTags’);

Does balancetags == auto-close tags?

Looking at the function it would seem to be so.

Perhaps I have a plugin conflict or does this behaviour exist on even on a default install?

added: I just tested here and yup, it doesn’t auto-close

[Trent Adams]

WP doesn’t auto close tabs by default either (unless the new editor does it). Does anyone know if the QuickTags plugin for bbPress auto closes tabs?

You may notice that the table row highlighting doesn’t work in IE (at least in IE 6.0 which many people use)

I found this easy, drop-in solution to use IE’s HTC support

http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html

save this file into your template folder

http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/htc/csshover.htc

then add this to your stylesheet

body {behavior:url("/path-to-your-template/csshover.htc");}

optionally but recommended, you might also want to add this to your .htaccess in apache since it probably won’t serve the right mime type for HTC by default which breaks XP sp2

AddType text/x-component .htc

Now :hover can work on almost anything in IE just like real CSS browsers.

I have had wordpress 2.2.1 up and running for a while. I just tried to install bbpress, using the table prefixes ‘wp_’, since I think that is necessary to have any authors registered on my wp site to be able to get on to bbpress, and vice versa. My bb’s config.php has the same database info as my wp’s config.

When I ran the install.php file for bb, I recieved some errors:

Second Step

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

bbPress database error: [Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD COLUMN post_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment

bbPress database error: [Key column ‘post_id’ doesn’t exist in table]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD PRIMARY KEY (post_id)

bbPress database error: [Multiple primary key defined]

ALTER TABLE wp_tags ADD PRIMARY KEY (tag_id)

1. Created table wp_forums

2. Created table wp_topics

3. Created table wp_topicmeta

4. Created table wp_tagged

5. Changed default value of wp_posts.post_status from publish to 0

6. Added column wp_posts.post_id

7. Added column wp_posts.forum_id

8. Added column wp_posts.topic_id

9. Added column wp_posts.poster_id

10. Added column wp_posts.post_text

11. Added column wp_posts.post_time

12. Added column wp_posts.poster_ip

13. Added index wp_posts FULLTEXT KEY post_text (post_text)

14. Changed type of wp_tags.tag_ID from int(11) to bigint(20) unsigned

15. Changed type of wp_tags.tag from varchar(255) to varchar(200)

16. Added column wp_tags.raw_tag

17. Added index wp_tags KEY name (tag)

bbPress database error: [Unknown column ‘post_id’ in ‘field list’]

SELECT post_id, poster_id FROM wp_posts WHERE topic_id = 1 AND post_status = 0 ORDER BY post_time

bbPress database error: [Unknown column ‘post_id’ in ‘where clause’]

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_id = 114

Finished!

---

Now you can log in with the username “admin” and password “*Your WordPress password*”.

However, when I try to log in to my wordpress admin area as the ‘admin’ now, I receive the error:

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I am able to log into bb, but there are multiple errors on each page; this is repeated many times on the page:

“bbPress database error: [Unknown column ‘post_id’ in ‘where clause’]

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_id = 0

Anonymous.”

I would just remove the bbpress completely, just to get wordpress login working again, but bb seems to have altered my wp user data?

thanks

I’ve now made a smilie plugin here:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-smilies

By the way, WordPress’s default smilie detection code and therefore the code converted here in the earlier post are very flawed when it comes to whitespace issues.

I created a patch awhile back that made it work 99% of the time regardless of spaces before, after or at the end/beginning of a sentence.

add this function:

function prepSmilies($string) {return "/(s|^)".quotemeta(trim($string))."(s|$)/";}

then add this near the start of function convert_smilies:

$prep_search = array_map('prepSmilies', $wp_smiliessearch);

then change the $contenst=str_replace line near the end of function covert_smilies:

$content = preg_replace($prep_search, $wp_smiliesreplace, $content);

Now if only it was this easy to tweak wp/bb’s search function to be so much more intelligent.

[thierryyyyyyy]

I feel the previous post is a spam ….

I’m also experiencing the “tag is very long when space is not the default parameter”.

If bbPress team still don’t want to hear your request, I will perhap’s make a plugin to workaround this bug (for me, it is not a feature …)

[gspark]

For anyone with an interest, i figured how to make a simple private user area

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/124247?replies=1

here’s the kicker on the BBpress end, since a wp account will be created for users who join the forum, what i did was leave the subscriber setting alone and adjusted the contributer to read/read private pages only, that way there’s no interference for default users accounts when people join the forum

[watchfor1]

It happens on the default theme, I also disabled all plugins.

[Trent Adams]

Are you running any plugins and/or does this happen on the default theme? Have you tried uploading bb-post.php again to make sure it is up there correctly?

Trent

Ok one is seen as Administrator until browing to the WordPress site, where the bbpress-inegration-plugin is activated and the rights are changed to the default role.

Still weird that no usermeta means Admin-role in WP.

[snakefoot]

I’m using bbPress 0.82 and every time I create a user then it gets the role WP role as Administrator (Eventhough the default role is subscriber). I’m not using any plugins in WP to handle role-management.

Guess I will have to redirect user-registration in bbPress to WP, to avoid this issue.

[Kahil]

It can also be done by making the default bbpress theme look like your wordpress theme. I am almost done doing just that over at yourkahil.com

For the most part everything is the same, only a handful of changes/tweaks to the template files.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Change it in your template.

Find your theme’s logged-in.php file. Look for bb_profile_link() and change it to

bb_profile_link( "Use my text instead" );

(If you’re using the default theme, first copy the bb-templates/kakumei/ directory to a new directory called my-templates/my-theme/, activate that new theme from the Presentation admin panel and edit those files instead).

[fel64]

It probably is. But what are you going to do when you need to update? If you make more changes? Could become very unwieldy very quick. Translation is the way to go.

[fel64]

Antonskey: I see your post in the forum overview, I see it in RSS but I just don’t see it here. Weird.

another question before installing the plugin (i plan to, honestly, i just have a few bugs with bbpress to work out before i go adding more plugins). is there yet the capability of having posts in specific categories go to specific forums?

Not (yet? dunno). You can assign a forum for it to go to on a post-by-post basis, though (with it blank making it go in default), which probably does that job.

[desantes]

I actually found it. The text can be found in the “template-functions.php” file.

[fel64]

You basically want to translate it. Not sure how it’s done but there are a few translation threads around here. (Some changes you can also make in the theme but by no means all of them.)

[desantes]

Hi. I’m looking to change the wording in some areas. Is there a central place to do this?

For example, I would like to change “View your profile” to “Profile” where can I do this?

[fel64]

Woops, rather nasty typo above. Author is spelt with an o, so make that

<td class="num"><?php topic_author(); ?></td>

You already have those columns, dlevy, or do I misunderstand? By default it shows the last poster and when.

[aleck]

http://vino.aplus.co.yu/forum/

Serbian forum for vine lovers and small vineyard owners.

Work in progress, theme is based on Mysty (which is largely based on default theme), but it should be more and more customized, when I find time.

[fel64]

That’s pretty weird. Have you tried going to bb-admin/themes.php? That’s its default location.

Just upgraded to .82.1, and still have the same minor issues:

• Pretty permalinks/slugs won’t work in IE 7
• Forum sluggishness – I see ‘waiting’ for a few separate moments in my browser when I click on threads (navigating to the forum and entering forum categories is fine, but actual threads seem comparably slow). I’ve tried changing themes but I get the same results with the default themes.
• In IE 7 the bottom border of the thread title is misplaced, instead of running beneath the title it runs through the title div.

.htaccess files as stated earlier in this thread. Any assistance would be very gratefully received. Thanks.

[Kahil]

I got to thinking… being that it renames the image to their usernames, I thought that the following might work, but it doesn’t…

<img src=”http://yourkahil.com/forum/avatars/&lt;?php echo $strtolower($user->user_identity); ?>.jpg” alt=”avatar” />

Shouldn’t that work? I’m trying to get it to display the current username of the person visiting the site, provided they are logged in. If they aren’t logged in it shouldn’t display anything. Later I’d like to figure out how to do an if else statement so that if the visitor isn’t logged it, it will display a default image.

[kehlers]

Well, your guess was correct! Your tip got me to thinking about cookies – I’m a little rusty on my setcookie() syntax! Anyhow, I decided to install WordPress, even though I don’t need it just now, because if I could get that to integrate across directories, then I could surely do what I’m hoping for with the gallery.php page.

That helped me to understand the interactions of the cookies and directories and domains. All that to say, I was able to get it to work using the following in config.php:

$bb_cookiepath = "/";

$bb_cookiedomain = ".mydomain.com" ;

I believe that if cookie domain is not specified, then it will default to be the root of the directory in which the script is running, i.e. mydomain.com/forums/, making it unavailable to any other directory, including parent directories. You probably already knew that, but just putting it out there in case someone else has the same issue.
