I put the bbpress forum at http://www.forum.thechristianchapel.com, then when it gave the url as http://www.forum.thechristianchapel.com/bbpress and gave me the option to change it, I did. I changed it to http://www.thechristianchapel.com/forum. I had it and then I messed it up, now when I type either of these in I get an index and not the bbpress forum. How can I fix this?
Oops, you’re right. Upon closer inspection it did not work without changes for me.
Instead of changing the bbPress side, I decided to make TinyMCE a bit more bbPress compliant. I wrote a little plugin which posts double line breaks instead of paragraphs. You can find it here:
http://www.kreativrauschen.com/blog/2009/07/12/bbpress-compatibility-plugin-for-tinymce/
I have written a simple plugin for TinyMCE to make it compatible with bbPress’ usage of double line breaks as paragraphs. The plugin replaces all paragraphs with said double linebreaks and br-Tags with single linebreaks upon posting. When editing an existing post, all linebreaks get transformed back into br-tags for TinyMCE. So you can use TinyMCE with bbPress without changing anything in bbPress.
You can download it here:
http://www.kreativrauschen.com/blog/2009/07/12/bbpress-compatibility-plugin-for-tinymce/
You also need to set remove_linebreaks to false, or all linebreaks will get removed by TinyMCE.
Currently, it still has one limitation (besides not being thoroughly tested): When you edit an existing post, double line breaks do not get converted back to paragraphs in TinyMCE. Instead they become two br-tags.
@Jason
The issue is that I don’t know where to add those. Read this post.
As soon as I add the include line like
locations /forums/
{
include ...
}
even my WP stops working.
Are you on v1.0 now? If yes you are out of luck as most of the plugins won’t work with the newer version due to a lot of code which has been changed in bbPress.
P.S. – You can email me at ashishsainiashfame@gmail.com
You are calling an undefined function. A quick search reveals that the function is of bbPress Polls Plugin. Make sure the plugin is installed & activated.
hello friends..i need help from you people..
I solved the sticky note situation. Sorry about the caps had some beer go into my keyboard.
Now another problem, how can I correct this error that has come up.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_polls_pre_poll() in /home/content/a/l/e/alexander9999/html/forums/bb-templates/blank2rbbpress/topic.php on line 2
I would like to make a donation to _ck_ plugins if I can have someone help me out with some of my forum issues
I got it! No issues. Well, Can you recommend what approach should I have to grasp all the code of bbPress as there is no Codex at the moment. I remember you stating earlier that you learnt by studying others’ plugins. Any suggestions in this regard would be of great help. Thanks
ashfame I appreciate your enthusiasm but I personally will have to comb through all the changes in 1.0 and look for new problems it’s causing my techniques- some things will not be immediately noticeable as a plugin will appear to run but then not in all cases or not update database info, etc. I’ll organize a way for people to report specific problems as it gets closer towards December.
As I have repeatedly mentioned it’s also a matter of waiting for 1.0 to settle.
I see many little problems with it that will have to be fixed – there will likely be at least a couple more releases by December and probably many more little tweaks put in the trunk for 1.5 that might affect my plugins again.
Your energy is better spent debugging bbPress 1.0, or writing/porting other plugins for bbPress as there’s always something else needed.
These rewrites posted are correct. This is pretty much what we have.
Our environment is very different and we have a few in-house modules to handle ‘missing files’ in place of the ‘!-e’.
As far as the rewrites go they’re good, and obviously you must enable pretty perms for bbpress.
If your having problems ashfame, just cut/past the rewrites outside the file check conditional (if).
My first attempt with bbPress and it’s pretty basic at the moment:

As I get my head around templating and the like, I’m sure I’ll make future changes
Hello,i have a site called azcs.co.uk, im using wordpress and bbpress and im trying to make the forum like my word press with no joy yet, i also whant to know how can i the Latest Discussions show only latest 5 posts only and on the forums i have forums saying modding, software and gaming i want to make these in bold and the background a different colour so that they stand out i also would like to know how to put a background image on the bbpress.
i hope this is not too much to ask
the forum can be found at forum.azcs.co.uk
I hope this is the right place to ask but I don’t know where else to go about it.
I’ve recently added bbpress to my site, and I’ve been trying to carry over the theme I use for WordPress. I’m not all that great with CSS, and there’s some weird problem with the positioning of the forum. I’m not quite sure I got all the div tags, as I’m still not 100% sure of the internal structure.
Here’s the forum link: http://www.nyahalcyon.net/forum
And here’s the website, as a reference: http://www.nyahalcyon.net
As you can see: the whole of the forum should be in the center, aligned with the background, and right now it’s very much on the left side no matter what I try. I’m obviously missing something somewhere, or I didn’t get the CSS right…
I’d really appreciate any hints or advice about this.
(I’m going to have to sort out the other pages, like the topic, forums, etc…. but for now I’d just like to get the front page working 100%.)
Hi, I have the 1.0 and my moderators BBPress I would put a panel of administration on the web without having to go to the administration, I want to put on ipod touch type images, like this:
http://i26.tinypic.com/15xo18w.png
but only the buttons that I see the moderators and not users, to hide some code exciste buttons for normal users?
These buttons are in the sidebar
My skill level: html: good
php: bad
css: well
I await your reply, Thanks!
I suspect the akismet plugin will eventually have a permanently delete feature like it does for WordPress.
If you have that much spam on your forums you have a bigger problem in that so many spammers are able to register so easily.
I can probably put a real delete button into Mass Edit
Your caps seem to have a problem of being stuck half the time, please fix that.
bbPress does not have any way currently to make a post sticky (I assume you mean inside a topic)
As an alternative you can use the new Edit Post Attributes plugin to change the post date and position to something earlier than the first post and that might make it the first post.
THIS IS NOT IN NEW VERSION BUT OLD VERSION OF BBPRESS BEING VERSION 0.9
STILL LOOKING FOR EXPERT to help with Reputation Plugin, POLLS and Avatars. My current expert seems to make things work less as time goes by. HELP!!
Son of a gun, I’m a dummy.
turns out i had permissions set too high. Chalk another one up to checking your error logs.
In checking my error logs – these are the only relevant lines I can find, which don’t really seem to have much bearing on my problem, but I’m including them for the sake of complete-ness.

You can have both, relative time as the main text and then when you mouse over, the real date:

I’ve got WPMU latest, BuddyPress latest and BBPress latest installed.
Everything’s mostly working how I want it (few minor quirks here and there, but i’ve been ironing them out pretty handily so far)….
… except BBPress. I did the full integrated install, and it went through without too any major issues, everything seemed to work fine. The database has been modified how it should be, from what i can tell, and everything looks fine in the directory structure…
… except I get this error on all bbpress pages now:
500 Server Error
A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again.
URL: http://siliconangle.com/ver2/bbpress/bb-admin/
I doublechecked everything in the config files, and database stuff is configured properly. Permissions checked – no issues there that I can find.
i’m up against a wall, i can’t figure out what the deal is. any thoughts?
@marcomail
Nope! I have installed bbPress into a sub-directory. I will look forward to install it in a sub-domain also.
