I’m using the 0.9 version of bbPress, and have noticed something weird. On two of my installs, if an admin goes to someone’s profile and clicks edit, they see the following checkbox:

Allow this user to [ ] Ignore the 30 second post throttling limit

If you check that off and click save, then that user can post more than once every 30 seconds. It’s a neat feature.

On my other installs, the “Allow this user to” label shows up… but the checkbox that lets you turn it on and off isn’t there. That line now just says: “Allow this user to”.

Any ideas why that checkbox sometimes doesn’t show up on some bbPress installs?

The only difference I can think of is that the first two installs were upgraded from bbPress version 0.8… while the other installs are all fresh installs. Could that cause this issue?

How about you: when you (the admin) goes to edit somebody’s profile… do you see the checkbox that lets you change their “throttle” saving?

There are no bbPress chat plugins that I’m aware of:

Are you installing bbPress as a plugin under your WordPress?

[collmonster]

Phew! Fixed it (found it in an old topic):

Find: “bb-config.php” and add the following:

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress’;

Ok so if I do actually want to change the url to mydomain.com/forum – how do I do this, can anyone tell me please?

Thanks in advance!

[maliasif]

I have using bbpress for quite a while and getting benefit from all the plugins specially designed by Mr. ck.

I wonder if there is anyone out there who can write a plugin for some sort of chat box or shoutbox for the instantaneous chat.I am really missing this thing on my forums.Since i am anoob so i cannot do it myself xD.

So are you going for any plugin like this in the future.

Hello.

I just installed the bbpress to my wordpress site. I was just setting it up, and int he settings it had a line where you could set the url of the install. I mistakenly thought I could use this to change it to a shorter version.

I was on: http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bb-admin/ (I think)

and I changed to http://www.mydomain.com/forum

Now its broken. All I get is a 404 page from my wordpress site.

I tried deleting and reinstalling but it won’t work!

Any idea how I can fix this?

Please help!!!

Thanks

Ah I think maybe unholyfruitbad is asking about those little page icons that show up on the frontpage… when a topic has more than ___ posts?

If so – if you’re on 0.9.x, try this “Page links for bbPress” plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/page-links-for-bbpress/

Otherwise if you’re on 1.0+, it’s already built into the core! If it’s not showing up, maybe there’s a setting… or try changing your theme to Kakumei, and see if it shows up then?

I’m having trouble integrating logins for WordPress, Buddypress and bbpress. I have done so for WordPress and Buddypress, but when I installed bbpress last, and followed the instructions in this video: http://dotsub.com/view/7cb6fb61-2fa0-4d6d-a090-257b0be87a50 it still didn’t work. Please help! thanks!

Hello everyone,

I am working a new theme for release and I need a cool name. But I am drawing blanks.

So if you have a second take a look here and see if you can think of a unique name.

Hi,

I have been searching the plug-in directory but I can not find what I am looking for, maybe it is called something that I don’t recognize.

I am looking for a plug-in that would give my forum the ability to pull up all the posts of a specific member.

If you click on the members name you get a topics that they posted in, not just direct links their posts in that topic.

A member would have to scour through all the posts to read just that member’s posts…very time consuming.

I already have super search but I can not do this with that plug-in, or maybe I don’t know how.

What I am looking for is the same result you get when you click the ip address below someone’s post…but it won’t stop at the last 30 posts, it will give you all their posts.

Is there a plug-in out there that does this, or is there a feature already in bbpress that I am not seeing that will do this?

Maybe a way to extend the last 30 posts to all the posts that member ever made.

I appreciate any help, or suggestions.

Thanks!

Scott

You can limit the size of the files you allow to be uploaded to your server using bb-attachments. I set mine to around 150k.

You can also use Amazon’s hosting for your file:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/faq/

I think that the plugin still keeps a copy of your photos on the local server though…

I run a website with a forum. I think I have around one or two gigabytes of space . It’s the cheapest thing out there. I’m considering installing the BB-Attachments plugin so users can upload their images to posts, without having to first use another website like Imageshack.

But, if this becomes popular, won’t it start requiring alot of space from my server? I imagine it can be full quite fast if people starts uploading their 5 megapixel pictures as much as they want.

I’m not a pro here, but is there some way that these files are not stored on my server? Since BBpress uses a database, is it stored in some clever way?

Come to think of it, an imageshack plugin would kick ass.

Hi.

has someone tried to integrate bbpress with symfony

[deadlyhifi]

There’s an issue with RSS feeds not validating. The problem appears to stem from » in the titles (rss.php) so I swapped them all with ::.

It now validates. It did work fine in Safari, but Firefox and IE threw up errors. Will report in trac…

Feed validation for this thread: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbbpress.org%2Fforums%2Frss%2Ftopic%2Fcall-for-testers-on-the-09-branch-and-10-trunk

There’s also a recommendation to not use <textInput>.

@pikatore

This fix is for 1.0, if you are using 9.0.6, then use the original plugin.

This fix doesn’t create directories with pb-- in their name.

[pikatore]

It seems to be an issue with the mouseover. This is definetely a Google Chrome problem, and this is definetely only a problem on the post edit page.

[eclipsenow]

Oh, and WYSIWIG and images and all that basic stuff… are there still plugins for that? I’ve got people very nervous with code…

[eclipsenow]

I’m wondering if I can use BBpress as a “blog” with the latest “articles” showing up as the “Latest posts” do here in BBpress.

So can I set up BBpress set to have a Navigation bar along the top with typical “About us” pages, “How you can help”, etc? (The usual top 5 to 10 pages you have on blog or introduction to your website etc). Any other ideas?

Then everything else can just be in the forums.

Also, because BBpress is a VERY stripped back forum with lots of plugins, does the plugin for email notifying still work? (Getting an email any time someone replies). Can I set ALL users to getting that?

Can I as the Admin set the “Tags/categories” that posters can then select from?

Is there an auto-backup plugin of some sort? (I hate database stuff).

What else do I need to install to use BBpress as my main community portal / blog (without wordpress).

[mothership]

We’re about to install and integrate bbpress with an existing WordPress installation. We put the WordPress files in a ‘wordpress’ subdirectory when installing to keep the httdocs directory clean. Will this affect integration in any way? If need be, we can move this back.

Ideally, we would like to have WordPress in a /wordpress directory and bbpress in a /forum directory with WordPress accessible via the root, and bbpress via /forum.

Also, on a slightly different note; how have people found integration with 1.0.2 and 2.8.4?

[antoniobon]

Waiting for your suggestion, I disabled the plugin bbpress smiles.

Your help is always welcome anyway!

[pikatore]

this problem seems to only be occuring in google Chrome. But not in IE 8.

Is this the first time IE WORKED, and Chrome didn’t? Oh my god.

And this is definetely only occuring on the ‘edit-post’ page, and I have tried messing with the code of the edit-form.php and troubleshooting it, and making it identical to the post-form.php in practically every way, and the problem still happens.

[pikatore]

an update.

i notice mouseovering over the textbox area or even anything specified between the <label> tags (which has the textbox and the quicktags bar, the B button highlights.

what the?!

[pikatore]

I mean, all the plugin pb– folders with plugins downloaded via the browser.

[pikatore]

For some reason, the plugin folder that the browser creates in my FTP are read only, and so are their contents.

Why is this?
