Make sure you post your solution when you compare your template versus the default!

damn..it works..with the default template
nope..I didnt..I
ve uploaded again again bb-post.php … and still nothing… I really dont know what
s the deal..Ill back-up my curent theme..and I
ll upload the default bbPress theme…to see what happens
No reason, it just wasn’t added as one of the default tags. A quick plugin should allow it pretty easily though. Let me see how easy it would be to write…..brb

I’ve upgraded Graphic Display Ranks to 0.6
Moved the configurable variables to gdr_config.php located in the ‘ranks’ subdirectory. I also added a new set of images that are smaller than the original set and should fit in the default threadauthor css width.
Actually, when integrated both programs use the users of WP. If you delete a user in program they are gone in both. You can change roles around in either program and it doesn’t affect the role in the other. If you have a user in WP and don’t want them to post in bbPress you can change their bbPress role to inactive. All they would have to do is register another user to post though. WP is different. Registrations in either program creates user in WP with default role until you change that

I am fleshing out my plugin Graphic-display-ranks and I’m looking for the right hook to use to do the following:
I want to find out if a topic author is the Key Master or a moderator. Here is what I have so far —
function get_special_rank () {
global $special_rank, $use_special_rank, $bbdb;
if ($use_special_rank==1)
{$title_for_rank=<strong>I NEED THIS HOOK</strong>( get_post_author_id() );
switch ($title_for_rank) {
case "keymaster" :
$special_rank=1;
break;
case "moderator" :
$special_rank=2;
break;
default :
$special_rank=0;
}
}
else
{
$special_rank = 0;
}
return $special_rank;
}
Can anyone point me in the right directon?
Sam, no problem. Since CSS3 is still a draft, I just use the CSS2 validator here:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/#validate-by-upload
(CSS 2.1 is selected by default on that page)
I also just use the CSS validator that is built into the Firefox Web Developer extension by Chris Pederick. I highly recommend it.
As for the comments being less standards based, they’re just ignored as comments by smart browsers. While they’re not based on any standard (like much of IE itself, it seems) they were created by Microsoft to address problems like this.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/ccomment_ovw.asp
I just do what works to make things work in IE and posted the info in case someone else was having a similar problem. YMMV
I’m working on a revised patch file for categories to accommodate the latest builds with the new templating file structure. Although it seems to be just me and spencerp who are using it. Of course, if you are customising your templates, then you will still have to edit your own based on the changes to the default theme.
davidbessler,
Your theme needs to have a call to bb_head()
in its header.php.
If you’re using a version of the default header, make sure bb_head()
is actually being executed on every page load. There was a bug in early versions of bbPress that prevented bb_head()
from being called on anything but topic pages.
As an aside, if you’re adding javascript, you should definitely use bb_enqueue_script().
bb_enqueue_script( 'give-it-some-name', '/soruce/file.js');

Of course, used the normal database prefix for each one specifically.
It was mentioned though, that for the mw_ ones, you didn’t have to use the “mw_” prefix for when trying to mesh with bbpress/WP.. but, to play it safe, I used the default “mw_” prefix anyway.. Choice is your’s really..

@mozey, nice!! I’ll have to try that out sometime, well, when I get more time.
Thanks for tips and pointers!

By default, the bbpress-integration.php plugin that you are using in WordPress brings over the registrations from bbPress and gives them the default role that you have for WordPress. That would mean that if they are given author status then that would be the default role for new members in WordPress. Maybe check that out.
I tested this on my test forum and then changed the default role from subscriber to admin and sure enough the new user that I created came across in WP as an admin.

kickass! yes our server was set by default to php4. The server guys said:
We have checked our server logs. The reason for the issue is not related to the memory limits for your account.
The file_put_contents() function is only available in PHP 5.
By default our servers handle any requests to .php file through the PHP 4 interpreter. By default the PHP 5 interpreter processes only files with .php5 extension.
If you want to change this in a way that .php files are processed by the PHP 5 interpreter you should put the following line in your /www/blog/.htaccess file:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php”
Correct me if i wrong .. by default when a user is regis. WP will set the “display name” equal to “username”. I try the code already and i dont get a blank name
Anyway maybe i will change the code to do a double check.
This theme is a lot nicer that the old default theme.
It works but there are a few issues.
When i click on “View your profile” the menu choices goes off way out to the right…
Great work!

In the default template’s register.php, I replaced the registration form with a message and link and it seems to have worked just fine. ( http://www.bandtr.com/wordpress/bbpress/ ). If there are some other factors at work that I am not aware of and need to know about, please let me know.
If you look at the top of the default theme’s header (/bb-templates/header.php) you will see:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?>" type="text/css" />
<?php global $bb_locale; if ( ('rtl' == $bb_locale->text_direction) ) : ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri( 'rtl' ); ?>" type="text/css" />
<?php endif; ?>
Currently, you have a file called he.mo (is that the right name for Hebrew?) in bbPress’ languages directory.
You should also put a file called he.php in that directory that has the following content.
<?php
$text_direction = 'rtl';
?>
Then, bbPress will know that your language is RTL and should include both the style.css and the style-rtl.css automatically.
But, you’re right. There are a bunch of CSS bugs it looks like. I’ll see what I can do to fix them.
There’s a plugin for images: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/5?replies=14
The <blockquote>
tag is allowed by default.
Changing the ‘name’ value (line 125) from your bb-includes/capabilities.php
file would be enough
ok i think i know what the problem is.. you have a custom theme.. you dont have a ‘bb_head’ hook in that theme..
check header.php in the default theme..
Updates:
– Added choice either to completely hide private forums or show them with private prefix
– Added selectable prefix text, default set to ‘private’
– Removed redundant forum_access_update_option
– Created Common Submit for all options

You uploaded the files to the right place! bbPress will try and see if a file is located in those 2 directories before defaulting back to the bb-templates/ directory!
As for the link to thte member list page, most people have been adding that in their ‘views’ section of front-page.php. Copy front-page.php from /bb-templates/, edit the file to include the link, re-upload into my-templates/
That way, if it doesn’t work (the way you edited it), you can delete front-page.php from my-templates and bbPress will use the original again in bb-templates! Nice eh!

Just looking to change the default ‘Member’ forum role title to something more appropriate for my forum. What file would that be contained in?
It seems to work just fine for me. I must admit, I do like this more than the default theme.
