Thanx Kevin, I don’t feel you’re being anything but helpful. No sweat!

Back before the beginning I used to hand code with a GeoCities website. And long before that I had a Vic20…I hate to admit it but I’m responsible for far too many of those useless Usenet ng’s that still exist (alt.worms.out.of.a.hot.cheese-log ,etc.) So I kind of know a little. Anyway, I’m not scared to break the interwebs. …Algore can just build another one.

I could probably snag some code from somewhere, paste it *somewhere* and tweak it to work as I desire (or close to it), I just need to know where to do this.

Like these “php” files; Where are they and how do I edit ’em? (with NotePad like a batch file?)

I’m a 50+ year old bench jeweler but with a little help from kind folks I learn little bits of other interesting stuff. If I knew where/how to edit these files I’d chance messing up my bbPress board. I can always just make another one and stick it in the same directory on my server. The few people who have joined the various boards I’ve been testing out get a little panicky when everything changes all of a sudden , but they’ll get over it.

Thanx!

As usual I seem to figure these things out on my own through dumb luck.

For anyone as confused as me about this, what you need to do after logging in under Admin is to edit your profile and enter your desired display name as your first name. My problem was that I had left this blank when installing bbPress. If you save that and go back to the Edit panel you will now find that this name is included in the dropdown menu of available ‘display’ names.

Honestly, I really love bbPress so far but it sure does make things unnecessarily complicated.

If you give me keymaster access, I can run some quick tests for you? The site wouldn’t be affected for more than a few minutes…

EDIT: Please don’t feel obligated in any way… if you’d rather not give access to a stranger, I completely understand!

Im having an ongoing help topic about a plugin. Infact, one plugin of many more – all made by _CK_. And I was starting to wonder, is it safe to rely on these old plugins, when this programmer has left the BBPress project, and a new version, hopefully is coming soon?

How will backwardscompitability be in the future of BBPress. Will most of these standard functionality-plugins be built in?

And how will upgrading BBPress take place? I have used hours and hours to customize my Kakumei theme, and will all that work go to waste with a new version? Will it apply to the next bbpress themes at all? Or am I gonna have start all over again?

[Marius-]

well, thats impossible to point out… what shall I do?

bare in mind that I use 1.02

–

edit:

Alright, to really put on an effort, I have tried to deactivate all plugins but the Polls. One by one, and all at once. Still no save-button.

[johnhiler]

Wait a second, I just tested it on a 1.0 install and it worked!

So it looks like it may be a configuration issue after all… maybe a plugin conflict?

[Marius-]

That would the ideal thing, that “Send” button inlude the poll as well. But theres absolutely no way to include the poll during topic creation now.

Did you scan with firebug? Cause I dont see the code for the save button anywhere in the php.

[johnhiler]

Oh wait, I just checked it out in 0.9 and a “Save” button doesn’t appear there while posting either… but if you Submit the whole post, the poll does appear.

I bet something changed in 1.0 so that that doesn’t work any more… sounds like the bug may be more than just a superficial missing button.

[johnhiler]

Ah thanks for resetting it to default! Hmm, it definitely looks like an issue with the plugin/version compatibility. I also just tested it on a 1.0 install, and saw a similar issue.

Your best would be to ask a programmer to take a look at the plugin and see if they can spot the issue! I bet it’s a pretty minor one, if everything else works except for that one button.

[Marius-]

Please re-read my edited post above. And yes, the word “Save” for saving. Its all default now.

[johnhiler]

What do you have input under the option for “Text to show for SAVE button:”?

You may want to try putting the word “Save” in there and resaving the settings… and seeing if that fixes things. Maybe it’s an encoding issue?

[Marius-]

Johnhiler, the translation has nothing to do with it. In the admin panel, you can type in what you want there, it doesnt affect the functionality.

The theme IS Kakumei. None of the code is touched, exept for some CSS colors.

–

If you turn on Firebug, and you inspect the canclebutton, you will see that there seems to be no code at all for a save button present.

–

I have reset the polls to default settings, just to prove that.

–

You see at the plugins site here on Bbpress, that more users are having the same problem:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-polls/page/3/

There, user Michael888 says to me that version 1.1 of BBpress might include poll functionality.

Is this next upgrade far away. Am I just wasting my time with this old plugin?

[johnhiler]

Ah I see you’re using a translated version of the Polls plugin… did you translate the strings yourself?

Two questions:

1) If you switch to the English version, does the Save button appear?

2) Did you get a chance to briefly change to Kakumei?

[Marius-]

So tell me when you´ve done the testing and if you´ve found something out then…

@ kevinjohngallagher

you should not try to become the father of bbpress..

I want to kick your ass .. duffer

bye bbpress

[Pomy]

@ kevinjohngallagher

What do you means about “Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out” .. can you clarify you statement in simple words :@

and what do you mean about respected ChrisHajer?

ChrisHajer is also respect me and please mind your language and think before you speak … you should also know that every person who is register with bbpress or associated with bbpress is respected.. and also every human being is respected even you (huh) .. me or john13uk…

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Uhclem,

You’re not wrong mate, and there is an easier way to go. But it requires more investment than bbPress has had or is going to have anytime soon. If you can get bbPress to work for you they way you are happy with it, then that’s great, because its a lovely piece of software – but if not, then there are alternatives out there that will do what you want.

Take Care,

Kev

‘ll Show! It is a bunch of WP 2.8.6. and bbpress fresh (integrated over), the WP provides users upload photos avatar plugin “user photo”, how to display this photo in a forum?

Подскажите! Стоит связка WP 2.8.6. и bbpress свежий (проинтегрированно), на WP предусмотрена загрузка фото пользователей для аватара плагином “user photo”, КАК ВЫВЕСТИ ЭТО ФОТО на форуме??

[kevinjohngallagher]

john13uk,

What Terms and Conditions is this “person” breaking?

The GPL does not mean free, you can easily and leagally sell code that is compatible with a GPL licence. If you don’t like this, just ignore it, no-one is forcing you buy it. As annoyed as you may be, the person you contacted (he didn’t contact you) at no time said he would pass it on for free.

As much as SoftInfo is being a bit of a wanker, and he is, it’s not worth the hassle.

If you have the ability to do the “customisation and other stuff”, making this basic (and pretty awful looking theme) shouldn’t really be an issue. You have the theme folder and pages already.

SoftInfo:

At no point does ChrisHajer suggest he’s accepting money for theme’s someone else created. Please be careful when making accusations against others, especially well respected people.

selling [GPL themes] are the are against wordpress policy?

Yes. Premium themes, such as the ones you link to, sell services that come with the themes (usually minimum support contracts). We’ve been over this road countless times.

If you don’t sorry to me then I’ll leave bbpress

Oh no!!

Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out

[Marius-]

John Hiler, I have activated it now, to prevent further annoyances. There is a test thread, and you´re welcome to create a new test thread to see how it is.

@ john13uk .. Dear I’m not breaking the rules… I’m asking if you are interest then I can make it for you as its clone.. and If its against the bbpress rules ..then why you are asking about this bborg theme.. why you do not make your own theme?

why you want to use bborg theme while its bbpress.org property? why ? Premium themes and services is not a big deal or new thing in market.. even you can buy wordpress premium theme and its services from various resources over the internet… are they people breaking the rules?.. are the are against wordpress policy?..

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/will-pay-to-get-our-forum-fixed

Note: The _ck_ have left the bbpress after depression who creates people like you.. who wants everything free free free free huh…and who don’t want to promote coders duh..

I think its enough .. or I should write more?

so be polite and be extra careful to write any bad comment against any programmer… If you don’t sorry to me then I’ll leave bbpress

I think you’ll understand .. and you’ll say sorry to me

Thanks alot

[minbin]

Just got an email from “softinfo” of roshnikayaqeen {at} gmail [dot] com

His original name is “Rehman Mughal” nick name is “Roshni”.

He is asking money for the bborg theme. Also he is trying to sell services to me. As far as I concern he is breaking the Terms and Conditions of the bbpress and bborg.

SHAME ON YOU Roshni!!

[johnhiler]

Try briefly activating Kakumei… and seeing if the Save button shows up then?
