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:

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.

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

Options -MultiViews

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forum/

Options +FollowSymlinks

# 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 );

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

nonegiven, I deleted your post because it was off-topic. If you’d like to start a new topic to cover those issues, email me at chrishajer [at] gmail.com and I will send you the text so you don’t need to retype it all.

I want to create limit in the username field. In bbpress user can create his/her username with 30 characters. it is so bad. it’s create disturbance and deface the forums and post. you can see the example in your own bbpress post forum and you can see my username. tell me how can i limit the username field and restrict users to choose 12 character username.

waiting for reply

[topguntoronto]

I`m not seeing these files in my word press config file(below), I have installed the integration plugin for WP and gone to configure it. I have deleted my cookies in firefox, I do see them in my BB_press config file. I upgraded my WP to 2.8.6 & have installed the 1.0.2 version of bb-press.

WordPress bbPress

AUTH_KEY <=> BB_AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY <=> BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY <=> BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

Also I have seen on the forum I should not use WWW in my urls, why is this & what should the format of the urls be, does this apply to all urls used in WP/BB press

Thanks

Thanks for your reply, just like you said Akismet has identified those posts as spam. I contacted the user and asked for a report and he replied that every time he tried to submit the topic he got an error message stating “no subject”, which is strange since all five posts had a subject(the same). I understand if Akismet reacts on five messages in a row with the same subject in a short time, but the real question is why bbPress presents an error message when a subject is both submitted and inserted? Lets hope this will not happen again Maybe a one time error?

[a1000w]

Have a current, daily-visited board on a site that I am moving to a new webhost….. where I want to use a different format. There are almost 1400 posts/threads on the current board. Can we import them into bbPress? Need info please.

[billerby]

I went live with my bbpress forum a few days ago. Today I noticed five topics with identical name and author in the admin panel, topics that does not show up in the forum. When filtering topics those are not visible using the normal flag, the only way I can see them is with no filtering (all). Did a lookup in the database and they all have topic_status=2.

Anyone having a clue?

Thanks

I have a new bbpress installation. When a new user registers, no email is received by them, so they have no password and cannot login. I’m not sure how to proceed in figuring this out…

Any suggestions?

[still giving]

I find that Buddypress does not add any members blogs that existed before I installed Buddypress.

For example, if you go to Members > User > Blogs (http://example.com/members/example_user/blogs/ … does it show a pre-existing blog, or does it say something like, ‘this user has not made a blog yet’?

Thanks

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I have a tutorial for that coming online on my series WP as CMS on my blog – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/11/wordpress-cms-series/

I will be demonstarting how to do it without deep integration. You might want to check that out if you are comfortable with code and love to do it yourself

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

The best thing that could happen with bbPress is having _ck_ on the dev team. I am a freelancer web developer who uses WordPress & bbPress to power sites. So xHTML/CSS & PHP is my cup of tea. Getting close to being proficient in PHP. I would like to develop more plugins for bbPress (3 tiny ones so far)

[chrishajer]

Yes, _ck_ is female.

[chrishajer]

There was this plugin, but it was for up to 0.9

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

You could probably do a little javascript validation to be sure they tick the box before the submit button is even clickable.

[fifthhouse]

I just did a new install of bbpress at: http://angerwise.com/forums. The whole thing is off center, and I have to use my bottom left to right scoll to see the whole page.

Any suggestions?

[lukeah]

yeah im stupid. can anyone tell im a newb

[iankwok]

I am trying to get members to agree to the terms and conditions by ticking at a checkbox before he can be logged in. Can someone tell me how to do this in the login-form.php? I added a few lines of code after the password label and before the <input name=”re” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $re; ?>” /> in the login-form.php of my template but not sure how to do the check if member tick on the checkbox when he click on the submit button.

<label>

<input name=”terms_of_service” type=”checkbox” id=”terms_of_service” value=”agree” style=”vertical-align:middle;width:1.40em;height:1.40em; margin-top:4px;” />

<font size=’1′><?php _e(‘I agree to the Terms & Conditions’); ?></font>

</label>

Is there a better way of doing this by using a simple plugin? I am new to bbpress and not good at programming.

Thank you in advance
