I personally use the PHP class found at http://detectmobilebrowsers.mobi/.

include(‘mobile_device_detect.php’);

$mobile = mobile_device_detect();

if(!mobile)

{

//echo TinyMCE code

}

I had this as a plugin on bbProgress, but i see they’ve even shut their doors (no more message on front page). I’ll try and boot up my old dev machine and find it as a plugin when i get home

Strong interest in this plugin…will be waiting for details.

I can do basic testing as well – happy to help.

Hi Chris – just checking back in & saw you replied. I haven’t touched it in a couple weeks, so I’m not fully up to speed yet (I totally dropped the upgrade…too many wasted hours with 2 kids).

I’m re-skinning my WP site for my business. As part of that, I’m upgrading to 2.9.2 – so I figured since I was “elbow deep” so to speak – I would update bbPress as well. As a side goal – wp/bb integration would be a nice to have, but many of my users won’t play in both spaces…so not a show-stopper.

I was puzzled to with the new install finding existence of an out of date DB. I will look again at the config files and see if there is a remnant of a URI or similar.

thx

Yah I don’t think that plugin works in v1.0+:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-posts/page/3/#post-3983

A number of plugins don’t work in 1.0… unless you have a developer who can help update the plugins, your best bet may be to stay on 0.9.

[bramruiter1]

Is this thing on? Great.

I’m currently updating my forum to a newer bbPress version and a nicer looking theme. Everything was going fine until I bumped into a few plug-in issues. I have searched the forums and came across this topic, which seems to mark my problem but never gets resolved.

A recap: I have used the _ck_ plug-in Unread Posts on bbPress 0.9.0.2 and it worked well. I had a bug once in a while (with a topic staying unread, even though I have read it), but it did it’s work properly. When there was a new post, the title of that particular topic went bold. When I clicked on it, the link would lead me to the post which was my last read post. And when I got back to the frontpage, it stopped being bold.

Now I have downloaded the Unread Post plug-in again and installed it on bbPress Version 1.0.2 for my new forum. Result: the topics stay unread until I logout and the bold titles don’t take me to the last read post.

So I’ve tried the earlier version by fel64. Indicate New Post doesn’t do anything either. It mimics Unread Post’s bugs.

Unread topics on the other hand trashed my front-page and won’t take me anywhere since topics does not have an URL like this http://www.domain.com/<div id=.

I’m really lost here, since these are unresolved problems everywhere I look.

Could someone please help me out? Please?

Hi there,

If you are looking for a BBpress and WordPress developer, than i’m your man!

I’m studying WP for about 4 years and BBpress for about 1 year now.

I make high premium WP sites with fully BBpress integrated.

See my latest project: http://www.jahw.nl / forum: http://www.jahw.nl/forums

I have an updated list with the best plugins and latest hacks for both WP and BBPress.

If you are looking for help, don’t hesitate to contact me via my contact page on my website: http://www.jahw.nl/contact

[56alifar]

Thnx for your answer KEvin, how can this be done?

[djsteve]

I think there is a lot of interest in bbpress, but I am betting that Matt and all the others are slammed busy with the WP3.0 release and trying to make sure everything works with the WP/MU merge, and bussypress – which is fine with me – it’s very important not to break the million of WP blogs when the updates become available.

Hopefully enough independent developers will work on bbpress plugins and themes to add some spark to it, and the interest will continue to grow. I am sure that buddypress will continue to grow and that will spur even more interest in bbpress plugin development as well.

It would be nice to get a semi-weekly – (every two weeks) blog post from matt and then we could all add comments and have it grow from there – it may be more productive than the IRC meets.

[Kevin Ryman]

Nice find.

[gerikg]

Kevin Ryman, is that your site?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/unwanted-ads-in-bbpress-themes

[gerikg]

I’m willing to help, send me your requests to my email my user name at gmail.com

-I am only willing to help if you have the WordPress theme with you.

-It will be easier if I do it on your hosting for better results, I will need your ftp info and admin access.

-Your host must be using php5 (integrations works better that way)

-Starting from scratch is better, if that is not possible make sure your site is user integrated already

-I do my best to everything to match your WP theme.

-If your WP theme has a sidebar I will incorporate that.

-I will not customize your theme to look a certain way. Moving things around, removing or adding features etc etc.

-Not all WP themes are able to convert, please understand this.

Thankfully, i came up with a cunning solution.

It’s a new thing some of the kids are using, called Google. I know, it might never catch on, but it’s worth a shot…

New bbPress Theme: Black-Letterhead

http://ulyssesonline.com/blackletterhead/

BBPress Theme

Now it appears that the theme has been removed entirely, but i’d suggest contacting the Author via his website. It’s a 2 year old theme that really just changes a few colours, so they’ve probably just forgotten about it.

That said, the theme has been updated for WordPress so there is every chance that the code you need has just been rolled into one.

Either way, it’s a good place to start

Good Luck

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Berwalsh,

I think you’ll need to give us a bit more info on how you want to use software to fill your needs.

bbPress is great at certain things, and we can give a more accurate answer once we have more info.

Take Care

[kevinjohngallagher]

Yes

Just remember that users set tags, and users are notoriously useless.

Especially if your forum / blog is not aimed at technical people (who have, to a certain degree, become used to the idea of tags for cross pollination).

[gerikg]

arpowers, great video but what about the wordpress integration setting in the bbpress?

Without steering into a different topic

Kevin Ryman, The theme look always depends on the WP theme. Sometimes the WP theme is too complex for it to work. Is there a specific theme you are looking for maybe I can help?

[sureshdrim]

hello Chrishajer,

I didn’t changed any themes recently.The only change I did was my hosting provider.I changed my hosting provider from yahoo small business (paid hosting) to 000webhost(free hosting).I also changed my mail server to Google Apps by changing MX records.I uploaded entire website to 000webhost’s FTP server which I had downloaded from my yahoo FTP server and imported database of my website with yahoo to 000webhost.

After this change my website was working good for few days but suddenly it started showing this error.I tried replacing functions.bb-template.php file which is giving error with a fresh copy of it from BbPress original setup but in vain..

please help.

This was the last time I had seen Matt here – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/whats-happening-with-bbpress/page/5#post-64425

increase the amount of letters

thanks.

[chrishajer]

Forum could not be created!

Not sure yet why it happens, but this seemed to be a workable solution.

[gerikg]

I don’t think a forum works for you as communicating to the parents privately. Unless you make the forum members only and make all the parents register. It’s a great tool to show the parents the curriculum though.

[gerikg]

Do you want to increase the size of the box or increase the amount of letters you can put?

[vimcortez]

Thanks, I finally chaned an advanced option and was able to login. Yet the install did not go through properly and I don’t have any specifics as to what went wrong. I received an email saying my forum was up and running but when connecting get a 404 ‘not found’ error.
