Hi all,

I’ve 3 issues regarding my car forums i.e. ( http://car-n-car.com/forums)….

1. Page title:

it happened after deep integration…. the title of the page which usually show in the browser’s window and Google search has been broken.. now there is just a link besides title words,

I’m sending you its screen shot for better understanding..

here is its screenshot regarding title issue

a) http://car-n-car.com/forums/page-title.jpg

=====================================

2. Page Not Found:

when i select 1st option from permalinks i.e. http://car-n-car.com/forums/forums.php?id=1 then it work fine but its not good for seo .. that’s why i need 3rd option which is name based permalinks.. so when i select 3rd option then content goes hide and message apear regarding page not found.

here is its screenshot for better understanding :

b) http://car-n-car.com/forums/page-not-found.jpg

=====================================

2. Permalinks Problem:

my name based permalinks structure is like that

http://car-n-car.com/forums/forums/first-forum

means the word of forums is repeated 2 times, so i want to remove this one word ( forums ) from name based permalinks.. i think it creates all trouble for me and drive me crazy…

here is its screenshot

I have installed bbpress and changed all of the links, etc. in the bbpress admin. I added “bbPress Forum List” and “bbPress latest topics” to my widgets BUT when I drag either the bbPress List or the bbPress Latest widgets to the sidebar, they show on the sidebar until view the site. Then (1) the forums/topics do not show up on the site and (2) when I go back to the Widgets page the bbPress widgets that I had previously drug onto the sidebar are gone! IOW, they don’t “stick” to the sidebar.

??????????????

TIA

I found this: http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/ is that helpful in finding an answer?

[jurasiks]

Better to tell novies how you make description of each topic with characters limit.

Good article for wiki.

Actually its same hosting company, EU datacenter rather than US west datacenter. I was being a little vague as to the hosting company, 5 hops on a tracert rather than 18+, much more responsive.

I have got it to connect to the db by editing the bb_meta table, values for user_bbdb_name, user_bbdb_user, user_bbdb_host and user_bbdb_password, its now working to some extent, but user identifiers dont seem to be mapping correctly, so I cannot access as a logged in user on the bbpress side.

[Olaf Lederer]

Moving to a new hosting company will not say that the database connection is the same.

Check the documentation from the new provider how-to connect to your database from PHP

[gauthamns]

First of all I thank ppl behind bbPress for its easy extensibility. With little tweaks I was able to modify my forum to give it a nice look: http://geeksforgeeks.org/forum/

And was also able to customize it for my own needs: http://geeksforgeeks.org/forum/view/company-interview

I can release it as a theme if needed.

[DavyB]

I recently moved my hosting from US west hosting to European hosting. I.E. Next door rather than 1/3 way round planet on the far side of North America. I copied backups of the old databases to the new hosting.

Now I cannot get bbpress running now the old dns and hosting have been switched off.

I get error message “ERROR: Could not establish a database connection” I had wp and bb integrated and syncing. wp is working fine. I can use phpMyAdmin to read the database. BBPress will setup fine with a new database but its a bit of a pain to setup all the forums and synced topics and I’d lose the topics that were only in the bbpress forums.

Any help and advice welcomed.

[gerikg]

make sure the folder is called “my-templates” I have trouble setting permission trough Dreamweaver. I always have to go through my ftp program to do it right.

@psycheangels

Looks like some of that code could be useful. I’m not a PHP whizz though. Would you or anyone else be able to help me *rewrite* it to what I am wanting to do above?

Much appreciated.

“Nicer Permalinks” now available!!

[Anonymous User]

Hi gerikg,

I will test it tomorrow on my new server (playground for bbPress, Plugins, Themes) …

[johnhiler]

Sure, I used both of them here:

@johnhiler

Is there anywhere I can see a demo of either Support Forum or Best Answer.

I’ve looked around at the plugins and couldn’t find either a screenshot of it working or a demo.

[johnhiler]

You should be able to use Support Forum and Best Answer to mimic similar functionality!

I really like how 37signals made their simplified Q&A site:

http://answers.37signals.com/basecamp

In review, it occurred to me that it’s essentially just a forum site with a few specific functions that make it act more like a Question & Answer site.

Does anyone know how I can mimic 37signals simplified Q&A implementation using bbPress?

[psycheangels]

maybe this will help ?

[psycheangels]

there is no documentation of default roles, but if you want to add or edit roles you can use this plugin

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/role-manager

[psycheangels]

no wait until matt make bbpress to wp plugin, but now you can use wp function in bbpress using this method

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/seemless-wordpress-integration

or other method in this forum, cek sub forum theme

[jc99]

Is it possible to call bbpress from a page in wordpress?

[jc99]

What do I assign for User Role Maps in bbpress wordpress integration…

WordPress Administrator: I assume this is Keymaster

But the rest I am unsure of….

WordPress Editor, Author and Contributer: Moderator?

WordPress Subscriber: Member?

Is there a place I can read up on the different roles (Key Master, Adminstrator, Moderator Member)

[driz]

From what I can tell it’s gonna require a foreach statement to do what I want.

[Anonymous User]

ok – I see – this is the standard settings for topics, posts and tags.

With the plugin from _ck_ it is possible to set different count limits for nearly every bbPress page:

• front-page
• forum-page
• topic-page
• view-page
• tag-page
• tag-page
• search-page
• feed-page
• profile-page
• favorites-page
• stats-page
