Friendly bump.

I know it’s summer & times are slow. I cannot use Firefox to view the local copy of my website when I am making changes. If I am using Firefox, I have to make my changes locally, upload them to the host, and then I can test the changes. This is a lot slower than doing everything locally — just from the increased number of steps.

Thanks

I’m working on my first bbPress theme and I am going to have two columns on most pages. I will likely vary the content of this second column depend on which page you are on.

I’d like to use a separate sidebar just like WordPress so that I can create a few different files that I could load.

These sidebars need not draw any content from WordPress, I don’t need deep integration or anything. I’m just wondering what would be the best way to go about doing this.

Theme Playground’s bbPress forum has it’s sidebar added to the footer.php file, which sounds like a good idea, but seems a bit impractical for multiple sidebars.

I also found this simple sidebar plugin in the forums which adds the “bb_get_sidebar()” function to bbPress. A neat idea, but I hate to frivolously add extra plugins, especially when it is essential for the theme to work properly.

So what I have done in my theme is to simply use an include like this:

<?php include ('sidebar.php'); ?>

This has been working fine for me and I don’t see any reason not to do it like this.

But does anyone else have a different method that has some advantage? Or is there plans for, or already an official function like “bb_get_sidebar()” that I am unaware of?

It should be possible but I don’t know of any tutorial written to do so. I’d be inclined to say make your regular website with WP and integrate them, but that would be the lazy way 0:)

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Make sure you flush all your cookies and then double check that the keys from wp-config are correct in bb-config. Usually that’s a cookie missmatch.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Not for bbPress 0.9. From 1.0 on there can be.

In WordPress you need to Rewind posts for faking multiple loops but it doesn’t exist in BbPress?

@tom thanks for the core hack. I will try it, and then write a custom query for forum 17 with no pagination.

[tomschulze]

Yup, I do… even though I thought that for WP 2.8.x this is no longer required. Anyway, it doesn’t make a difference whether it’s activated or not, I’ve tried both.

[bradleyscott]

Oh and just so you have the links: mywnde.com/socialbb = bbpress install

mywnde.com = wpmu install

[bradleyscott]

I am running WPMU 2.8.2 and just grabbed bbPress 1.0.2 They are on separate db’s that are both located on the same localhost.

When integrating, I used the advanced features and set everything up according to what I was supposed to.

When I login to bbpress, it just refreshes the page as if I had not logged in. I can tell that the Key is technically working because if I enter a wrong password on purpose, it sends me to an error page, so I’m guessing something is off with the Cookies.

Any suggestions… all the solved issues regarding these problems are all 2+ years old. I am assuming things have changed.

[Jim R]

Not sure I’m changing both the cookie keys, but I am making sure they match. BTW…I’m using WPMU. Latest versions of both products.

thanks Sam! is possible have the pot in the next hours?

[Arturo]

very cool! when the new site online?

[anandasama]

That is navigation for the front page, not topics.

My topics navigation works fine with permalinks but I also have the same problem with permalinks on the latest discussion (like on endrant.org).

I use Plugin: “Topics Per Page” .. I Added the replace in htaccess with no luck.

Using bbpress 1.0.1

Is there any other plugin or built in function that do the same trick for latest discussions?

Seems bbpress.org works with permalink / latest discussion pagination.

How do their code look like?

This will remove the ability for moderators to see IPs anywhere in bbPress.

add_filter('get_roles','no_view_ip');

function no_view_ip($roles){unset($roles['moderator']['capabilities']['view_by_ip']); return $roles;}

It will work in bbPress 0.9 or 1.0.

In 1.0 you can just put it into functions.php in your template folder or make it into a mini-plugin for 0.9

this video helps greatly.

(you can skip some of the beginning, it’s him installing wordpress.)

[Sean Metzgar]

You need to ensure you’re changing the cookie keys located in the bb_config and wp_config files. Also make sure you’re using the appropriate wp/bbp integration plugin.

I have a problem with IE not displaying the left bar nav when viewing the admin dashboard. When using firefox I can see it fine :

In IE its just white space. Running bbpress 1.0.1. IE 6. Firefox 3.0.12.

[johnhiler]

This is the plugin that enables this in 0.9:

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

It was moved into the core in 1.0, so no need for a plugin if you’re on 1.0…

I’m very happy with the way my bbPress them has turned out. I’ve even managed to fix my drop down menus so they work — my function that spits out the

• …

tags was putting the before the

tag for the level below. Once I fixed the placement of the tag, they worked great.

My problem at this point is when I view a topic, my IP address shows up beneath my gravatar. That’s not in the code in topic.php. I believe it’s coming from the call to do_action(‘under_title’). This seems to be the only place that the gravatars can come into the post, as there doesn’t seem to be anything in the topic.php file related to them.

Any ideas are appreciated.

I’m beginning to experience an issue where-by when a certain arbitrary number of posts (or pages it seems) is reached, bbpress stops a) going to the latest page/post and brings you to the last full page. When you post a new post, it gets posted, but there is no way view this post unless you manually change the url to /[pagenumber]

if you go to our forum and follow the following link (which is the link from the mainpage to the most recent post) http://www.aethereverywhere.com/discuss/topic/what-are-you-listening-to-right-now/page/8#post-736 you’ll see that it takes you to page 8, and to the bottom of that page – but in fact there are more pages than 8 as if you change the url manually to http://www.aethereverywhere.com/discuss/topic/what-are-you-listening-to-right-now/page/9

you’ll be taken to the actual latest post.

I’m completely lost. I noticed that if i change the number of posts to display per page, it sort of resets the forum and lets you view the last posts, but once it reaches the next arbitrary page number, once again you top being able to view pages and posts after that.

If anyone can please help i would be so grateful i’m afraid this is beyond my area of expertise. PS. i do know for a fact that posts and posters are not getting moderated, though it may be related to askimet somehow.

Both systems are using the same database, and they each recognize my User account information. However, when I log into one, it doesn’t log me into both.

[Sam Bauers]

I’ve made some changes to the upgrading page.

[Sam Bauers]

would be nice to add Gravatar size options in the admin panel

Just set it in the various places in your theme.

[enatom]

sorry, ill be using php pages, custom made, my pages will be outside of the /forum/ folder where bbpress will behoused, is it still possible to use its user system outside of the /forum/ folder.

many thanks for helps.

This Super Search plugin by _ck_ should let you do just that:
