Please explain further.

I’ve made a few long overdue adjustments to the layout on this site. There are still some bits that could be better, but I only wanted to alleviate some of the long standing complaints people had about the layout. I’m planning a more thorough overhaul as we approach bbPress 1.0

You’ll notice I’ve turned on Gravatars, if you want to add or change your Gravatar then you need to do so through http://gravatar.com/

I’m also trying on a new logo to see how it fits (top left corner), it’s closely modelled on the current WordPress logo and is designed to compliment it better than the old logo.

All feedback welcome.

Can i share blog in bbpress

[TechGnome]

Currently I have a website, let’s say mydomain.com which is currently a WordPress site (for now, more on that in a sec). I have successfully installed and been running bbPress at a subdomain: forums.mydomain.com. So far everything is hunky dory. Except that now I want to dump the WP part of the site and replace it with something homegrown (I no longer have a need for a blog-based website). The website is going to be for a streaming radio station. What I would like to be able to do is integrate bbPress to leverage the users/logins, so that those who are registered can login and make requests.

Building the PHP/templates for the site isn’t the problem, but what would be the best way to get to the necessary bbPress objects/database/”stuff” so that I can 1) tell if the user is logged in and 2) who they are (so that I can track for request reasons). If I was integrating with WP, I’d use one the WP-integration options, but since I’m not, I’m not sure how to go about performing this. Actually that’s not entirely true… I guess what I really want to ask is, if my bbPress is in one folder linked to a subdomain, what do I need to include from another folder to get to bbPress user info from the main domain.

I hope this made sense.

I am on 0.9.0.2 and I’m still having Bozo problems even though I deleted the Bozo plugin completely. I think it’s because my first version of bbPress was 0.83, and there’s some legacy Bozo stuff in my database.

Anyone have any idea how to get rid of all Bozo-related data from a bbPress database?

I’m now going through the WP and BB integration FAQ and it seems there is no option for BB in webroot and WP in a subdir listed there: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17412

Could this be wrong? Something to do with cookies? But then the BB homepage gives these errors, so I’m not even trying to log in…

Oh, so true! So true! That’s what she keeps me around for nice new Gravatar, BTW.

I’m afraid I do qualify for too many of the “Granny” points – large fonts, too many cats, health problems, etc. LOL!

But I bet your granny can’t write PHP or javascript so that makes me feel better somehow…

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Oh, eh, that’d do it! I flipped mine to Granny Mode (sorry, _ck_, it’s what I use for my gran with glaucoma) and I reproduced it. Huh. Better check my layout for that too!

[_ck_]

Maybe it’s because I use the “large fonts” setting in Windows.

That makes my fonts like 10-20% bigger.

Deadpan110, your procedure worked perfectly for me. I have WordPress 2.6.5 and bbpress 1 alpha 2.

I didn’t know what to put into Secret_Key and Secret_Salt.. I assumed they referred to: Secret and Auth_Salt in WP 2.6.5

And it works great! Now let’s see what happens with 2.7!

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I don’t see any ads (and I block them too).

Immelody, I would suggest making the border around the login info boxes (for name and password) darker. I almost missed where they were and wondered how people logged in

[_ck_]

Well I still don’t have SVN access but thanks to Sam you can at least grab the first version :

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/super-search/

Do not use it on a very active site yet, there is no query cache.

[_ck_]

Are there ads or something like that holding the column in place? Because I block most ads and that might be it.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

FF3 on XP looks perfectly fine for me too.

I had a forumforum contributors who asked for a Reply link under each posted message.

I believe that this was a very good suggestion as it was not obvious how to reply to a message especially when a Topic had many posted messages spanning multiple pages where the reply form was on the last page. If you did not know this then you could wonder where the reply form was.

Go to the following link to see the code update to just the post.php file.

i used phpbb for like 5 years now, it’s a great forum software, but i have to say that i admire the simple/plain approach of bbpress.

so, am working on a phpbb3 -> bbpress converter. so far i figured all i need to convert forums, topics, posts, user info. i only have a problem moving user passwords, so does anybody know of a way of importing user passwords from phpbb3 to bbpress ? the problem is that phpbb3 doesn’t use plain md5 anymore, and i don’t know exact details about the new hashing method.

am thinking about importing all users without passwords- or even with unified password, then generate new passwords for them all through bbpress admin panel and send it to their emails, but if i can import passwords it would be far better.

anybody interested in helping me ?

Check out post-form.php.

If you’re talking about the built in bbPress page that happens, there is no way to trap that as of yet that I’m aware of…

[chrishajer]

In FF3 or IE7 it does not look like _ck_ saw at all. Looks fine to me.

[John James Jacoby]

@Nipon: I had that plug-in installed at one point also, but I’m not sure if it is the culprit or not. I actually installed it hoping that it would pick up on the bbPress roles but it didn’t.

If you integrate by modifying the config.php files, you won’t be able to access the bbPress admin regardless of where you login from.

If you don’t integrate the config.php files, you can access the bbPress admin by logging in ONLY through the forum/bb-login.php.

WordPress just isn’t aware of how to assign your session/role the forum admin rights. I am convinced this isn’t a cookie issue because all of us seem to have them pretty well synced up, and we’re able to login and stay logged in.

Are you using FF2 or 3? I’m on Flock, and my husband on FF3 and we’re not getting that. Also, what is your desktop resolution? I’ll try to recreate what you’re getting.

Edit: Actually, what is it that you’re seeing as floating? I’m confused.. I thought you were talking about the tags, but those don’t float in IE or Flock for me.

[_ck_]

Have you tested it in Firefox on Windows?

The column float is not working correctly and pushes the middle down below the left.

I tweaked two similiar themes to create one that looks nearly identical. I wanted to post them here. If anyone would like me to zip the themes up, I would be willing to.

I do want to give credit to the person who created the themes in the first place. I’m not great with coming up with raw code so really all the credit is theirs.
