Been debugging a while now.

I can stick a topic, it shows up correct in the admin interface and is marked as sticky. However it does not show up as sticky in my latest discussions. Noticed that get_sticky_topics() is not returning my sticky topic. Echoing the sql executed gives the answer: “get_sticky_topics()” returns topics where topic_sticky=2, while my sticky topic have topic_sticky=1. All other (non-sticky topics) have status topic_sticky=0.

Running bbPress 1.0.2

What is wrong here?

I was exploring bbPress tables before importing data from vBulletin and noticed that post bodies contain <p>…</p> and I was wondering why this choice was made, wasn’t better keep plain text and then, only when formatting the output, applying the markups if needed?

I don’t use Akismet or Bozo plugin at all.

Some topics just won’t show the last reply, until someone else posts more replies. Why does bbpress wait with showing this? Why are the last replies not visible instantly?

I am having problems with bbPress-WordPressMU User Integration.

Under the WordPress Integration Settings, I have correctly set the User Role Map and User Integration Cookies like AUTH, Secure AUTH KEY, etc. according to my wp-config file.

My question is, how do I know whether I have integrated correctly? By what I know, if integrated correctly, user should be log-in from either bbPress or WordPressMU and have the same access throughout. But under Users tab, I see only my account, (admin log-in) and no one else. If I try to log-in to my bbPress using my WPMU account, it doesn’t work.

Stickies should already be in the core? More info on how they work here:

Hi, what about the theme I am using?

I have little knowledge in webdesign. Therefore I just modified the Kakumei-Theme as good as I could.

I was looking for a simple theme which is userfriendly, offers a lot of opportunities for google ads and an overview over the different categories (=main forums).

It also has a drop down menu. If you move with the cursor on the menu to forum you will see some submenus which direct you to the different categories. In my opinion an easy way to keep the overview.

Problem: I have no idea if it looks well on all browsers and all different screens. I only tested it with FF, Safari and IE7 and with the screen of my laptop.

Another problem: I had to remove the footer because it moved to the top of the page and I wasn’t able to keep it at the bottom.

Further I am looking for a way to show the last authors avatars on the topic and discussion boards of the front page and the forums pages.

[arpowers]

sure. thanks for the reply.

notice here: http://www.pagelines.com/

there is no ‘articles’ page..

here (the forum): http://www.pagelines.com/forum

the ‘articles’ page shows up.

I’m using the WordPress plugin ‘exclude pages’ (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/)

to hide the page on my WP install.

The forum is deeply integrated but notice that BBPress doesn’t reflect the changes from the plugin

Having run sites with WordPress, bbPress and Joomla, I have had less security issues with WordPress and never one with bbPress. bbPress is certainly less used, so it’s less of a target (like Apple for viruses, for example.) WordPress security releases seem to be fixed fairly quickly. There was an update this week to 2.8.6 for example, to fix some security issues.

I’ve done 3 sites with Joomla and about 40 sites with WordPress, and 3 bbPress forums. I would never recommend Joomla to anyone either.

Drupal had too steep a learning curve for me, and with 2.9 WordPress is adding custom post types, which was a strong point for Drupal in the past.

10 Things You Need to Know About WordPress 2.9

I would use WordPress. But before you install bbPress, define what you want in your forum installation, and post that here. Integration is not a strong point with bbPress and WordPress right now. If you desire integrated logins between WordPress and bbPress, you might want to consider a WordPress forum plugin instead of bbPress.

[chrishajer]

Sounds like the user is marked as a bozo or that the posts are marked as spam by Akismet. I would turn off the Akismet plugin first.

You can see more than normal users as keymaster.

[chrishajer]

Have you searched the forums at all?

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:bbpress.org+plugin+adsense

[chrishajer]

Have you looked through the plugin directory?

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:bbpress.org+plugin+adsense

[chrishajer]

For example, this is the feed for here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/topics

[chrishajer]

Where and when do you want to display them? There is a plugin for Terms of Service to be displayed on registration:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/terms-of-service/

My users are complaining already! When a user has posted a new reply in a topic. I can no longer see it when clicking on it.

I have to look at the stats next to the topicname, where it says “28 posts +3 more” and click on “3 more” to see them. Why is this? Normal users can’t click on “+3 more”. Is this some sort of protection the database overloading?

I’ve made no changes to settings at all.

Have a look yourself.

Go to http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum and see the post “Når ble du Michael Jackson fan?”. It says Bettabet93 was the last to answer, but when clicking on the topic, you don’t see her answer.

–

It seems when this occurs in a topic, more replies will eventually allow users to see the unseen replies made before.

hi!

I have a forum here: http://www.pagelines.com/forum

I sometimes want to add HTML tags to explain things to people but they get stripped out or used as real HTML…

Is there a way to do this (display HTML code) in BBPress?

[arpowers]

Can someone at least tell me ‘why’, plugins don’t work inside a ‘deeply integrated’ BBPress install?

[Dailytalker]

Dear coders, please remove “forum” and “topic” from the urls in your future editions of bbpress.

http:www.xxx.com/forums/topic/how_to_remove_unnecessary_things

doesn’t look nice, especially when you run forums in another language than English. Because this gives you a mix of languages in the url.

http://www.xxx.com/forums/troubleshooting/how_to_remove_unnecessary_things

looks better.

Please see also the following topic about this issue:

[Dailytalker]

How can I modify the memberlist-plugin?

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/memberlist/page/2/

I would like to add column whichs shows the avatar pictures of the members.

I would like to have something similiar as you can see in the userlist in the admin area.

[Dailytalker]

Hi, I’ve just followed your instructions and was also able to remove “forum” and “topic” from the urls.

But something is wrong because the pages cannot be found. This is my rewrite code (it is a bit different from your code because I am using the newest version of bbpress):

# BEGIN bbPress

# END bbPress

Probably I made something wrong with point four where you say that the lines 46 and 48 have to be switched. What do I actually have do do there?

Quote: “4. Open up bb-post.php at the root of your bbPress install and simply switch lines number 46 and 48”

Is it this code?

$link = get_post_link($post_id);

$topic = get_topic( $topic_id, false );

[paamayim]

Thanks very much, it actually fixed a bug that didn’t let me access the bbPress dashboard (redirected to forum index), even if I appeared logged-in in both WP and BB, and could access WP dashboard also.

Now instead with a single login can access all WP, bbPress index, WP dashboard and bbPress dashboard.

[chrishajer]

Sounds like you need to add some rewrite rules for use with that plugin. I don’t see anything about it in the readme.txt, but now that I think about it, those non-pretty links should even when permalinks are enabled. For example, this link will be rewritten to my profile, even though it’s an ugly link:

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile.php?id=65703 end up here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chrishajer

Also, there shouldn’t be two forum in your pretty link. It should look like this:

http://www.mysite.com/forum/profile/xx

[paamayim]

The .htaccess trick worked for me, thanks.

Just ensure to edit the .htaccess inside bbpress folder ( /forum/ ? ) not the one in wp folder, and add the line suggested by “balgo” at the top of the file replacing your domains/folder where stated.

[arpowers]

update…

any news on WP plugins in BBpress yet?

Is ‘manually’ really the best solution?

[topguntoronto]

Interesting all the other files in the folder are modified as of yesterday when I did the automatic update. But the config-sample is modified as of march 13 2008(date if my 1st install)

By the way Word press is a great program & at an awesome price. Looking forward to rocking with my BBpress as well

Thanks
