I wrote this plugin called moderator notification:

If I change the default theme in bbPress from Kakumei to a different one I lose the image uploading ability even though it is an active plugin and works on Kakumei.

Thank you.

I already answered this in your other thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-images-to-a-topic

Please don’t start another one for exactly the same thing. Unless you mean, can you upload an image without having to upload it to a server of some kind? In which case, not very practically no.

[InvTrdr]

How is a “Sticky” post made in bbPress? I am using Kakumei, the default template.

Thanks.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

That code is probably fine, the version number is okay anyway but it’s slightly different to the one above.

There’s an upload plugin for PostImage: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/request-image-upload-with-free-image-hosting#post-56890

That’s the only one I know of

[InvTrdr]

That code above did not work for me chandersbs. The one below did. Is it safe to use the one below?

I like that bbPress send me an email after that somebody posts a message to forums. Is possible to make this from templates? Or is neccesary write a plugin?

[Stealth Employed]

You are correct. I downloaded it from https://bbpress.org/latest.zip and there it was. Strange that it doesn’t come with the .zip package from the trac site.

On a new note there is now a new installation error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /XXXXX/StealthEmployed/forum/bb-config.php:64) in /XXXXX/StealthEmployed/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 232

I have a feeling this is probably easier to fix than the last one. Any ideas?

[InvTrdr]

I am using the default K theme in bbPress.

Thank you.

[brightcoconut]

Whoops, my bad – I missed it. The link in the first post still works – reposting it here just in case. (You should still read that first post, though, for the directions…)

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

So it works similar to WP but just that you cannot do it through Editor in WP, rather do it directly in the files on the server, correct?

Correct. There’s no theme editor built in to BB at this time, so you have to edit the template file.

And you can use the same GA code from WP to BB without changing anything, but as it’s a different page, you have to edit the bbPress and WordPress templates separately.

[chrishajer]

InvTrdr, you will find most of the functionality you want to add is available as a plugin. Check here:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

[chrishajer]

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/page/4/

There was a problem with it working with 1.0 though. I thought someone posted a fix in the comments.

[chrishajer]

Do not upload to bb-templates of bb-plugins. Make two new folders, if they’re not already there, called my-templates and my-plugins, and put your unzipped templates and plugins in those folders. There is no upload in the admin for themes or plugins, like there is with WordPress.

bbPress for a while was coming with those two folders, empty, but with the wrong permissions. Follow the link from ashfame to see how to fix the permissions issue.

[chrishajer]

If you browse the sidebar tag here, you will find people who’ve added a sidebar. You can do it in your template files.

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/sidebar

If you just want a link up top in your header, to the website home page, just add it, wherever you want, in your template’s header.php.

[InvTrdr]

Is it possible to have a sidebar or a small navigation menu in bbPress that can have a link pointing to the main site or pages on it?

Thank you.

[InvTrdr]

Is it possible to add Google Analytics code to a bbPress forum? Did not see Editor under Appearance.

Thank you.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Instead of uploading to bb-templates folder, create a folder my-templates in the bbPress root and upload the theme to my-templates folder.

Then you can activate it under the Appearance options.

If you face issues, then fix out their permisison issue by following this tutorial : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-my-templates-my-plugins-folder-not-working-bbpress/

Copy and paste this code and save it as allow-images.php

Upload it to your my-plugins folder, create if it doesn’t exist. And activate it.

[Navin]

Unzip and upload it to your bb-templates folder, login as admin and go to Appearance, there you will see all your uploaded themes, click to activate.

[InvTrdr]

I did not see a way to upload new themes into bbPress like as in WP. Is there a way to upload new themes downloaded from the web in bbPress and activate them? I saved a couple in zip format and cannot see where to upload them.

Thank you.

[InvTrdr]

The error message was “DB Error: cannot find”. Figured out that for some reason the database name filled in during step1 was not caught by the bbpress-config.php file as you can see in the code above. The BBDB_NAME has been left “bbpress” as in default. Changed it in the file and it worked. Now onto Step2.

Thanks.

I just checked out 1.0.2 via svn and I see backpress is included as an external:

Checked out external at revision 191.

It’s actually included in the packaged download here too:

https://bbpress.org/latest.zip

https://bbpress.org/latest.tar.gz

I don’t think using trac to grab the source is the same as actually downloading the package. Maybe that was the problem?

[chrishajer]

Interesting. I recall a while back that backpress had to be added manually, but I thought that was resolved. backpress has it’s own trac:

http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/tags

Maybe you can grab it from there and create a backpress directory in bb-includes and put the files there? Maybe an svn:external failed? It’s a weird error that I have not seen before, at least not since the alpha versions of 1.0.
