Any news about it? I have the same issue. May be downgrade to alpha 1 can be a solution?

[chrishajer]

Do you have a link to the page that’s a problem?

And is the link you’re clicking generated by a plugin or by the bbpress core?

I am having problems with the phpbb2bbpress converter (http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/).

When I run the file I just get this message. There isnt a sql-file to download or a file created on my server.

1: I downloaded the file from: http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/

2: I edited the lines I have written in bold.

Code:

define(‘DB_PHPBB_USERNAME’, ‘[strong]databasename[/strong]’);
define(‘DB_PHPBB_PASSWORD’, ‘[b]databasepassword[/b]’);
define(‘DB_PHPBB_DATABASE’, ‘[b]databasename[/b]’);
define(‘DB_PHPBB_TABLEPREFIX’, ‘phpbb_’);

define(‘DB_BBPRESS_HOSTNAME’, ‘localhost’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_USERNAME’, ‘[b]databasename[/b]’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_PASSWORD’, ‘[b]databasepassword[/b]’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_DATABASE’, ‘[b]databasename[/b]’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_TABLEPREFIX’, ‘bb_’);

I only have one database on my server, so the databasename and password is the same on the phpbb and bbpress part

Code:

define(‘EXPORT_TO_FILE’, true); // Should the converted DB be exported to a file ?
define(‘FILENAME’, ‘/tmp/phpbb_imported.sql’); // Which one ? (Ensure this path is writeable by the server)
define(‘AUTO_IMPORT_EXPORTED_DATA’, false); // Should the script automagically import the converted DB ?

3: I created the folder tmp at the root and used chmod on it.

4: I uploaded the file to the root and tried to open it but I couldnt. So I removed the s in .phps and it worked. But i only got this message – but nothing really happened. I cant download a file, and there is nothing on my server. What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

I’m having troubles with the bbPress 1.0-alpha-2 when removing in the admin page some posts.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/home/xxx/domains/xxx/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.php on line 527

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /usr/home/xxx/domains/xxx/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.php:527) in /usr/home/xxx/domains/xxx/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 214

Cheers,

Hi all,

bbpress integrated with wordpress works fine but there is only one problem. the problem is that username which is registered in bbpress and it is blank in the post author in wordpress.

please help…

thank in advance

No.

Kakumei is a theme (WordPress terminology) or a template (bbPress terminology) and controls the display of the content on your site. Any modifications you make to your site should be done in these template files, never in the core. Changing core files makes it hard to upgrade to newer releases: you lose your changes with every upgrade. So, if you make the changes in a template file, you can maintain them between releases.

Also, by default, the stock kakumei theme is used and it’s in the bb-templates directory. I recommend creating a new directory called my-templates (if it’s not there already) at the same level as bb-templates. So, in a directory listing, they’d be at the same level. Then, inside there, create a directory called mytheme or some other name that is descriptive for your forum. This directory name does not matter. (The my-templates one DOES matter.)

Now that you have a my-templates directory, and inside that a new directory with a name you choose, copy everything from inside the bb-templates/kakumei/ directory to this new directory you created. Then, open up style.css and change the header to give this new template a unique name on line two. You will see this there:

Theme Name: Kakumei

Change that to “Theme Name: My Cool New Theme” or whatever you want. Then refresh your admin panel, and you will see a new theme. You can change the rest of the lines in that header as well, to things that are meaningful to you. Be sure not to modify the text before the colon, just change the text after, to your values.

Now, modify the php and css files in this directory to change the look of your forum. You can switch back and forth between themes here. If you break something, just choose the default theme until you fix the one you were working on.

I’m running bbPress 0.9.0.2.

I’ve noticed the page links are working incorrectly. We have 20 posts to a page, but bbPress is counting too many posts. For example, one thread only has 19 posts, but the thread link clearly says it has 21. When you click the link to page two, you get a blank page with just the topic title and the reply form.

Sorry for the really late reply. Didn’t see my topic with a reply.

To bbPress’ credit I got that error and alot more when intergrating the wordpress database and theme intergration (But it is currently alpha) and I am looking forward to the stable release of 1.0 now that I’ve seen it and essentially test drived it.

If your still having problems I can only assume your also using the 1.0 alpha as well, in which case I’d suggest you consider downgrading to WordPress 2.5.1 and bbPress 0.9.2. I did a couple days ago and it is very stable, the intergration is perfect and I have no problems with permalinks etc.

I forgot update the bbpress user’s role. When I did that, the problem disapeared. Now my forum is working perfectly.

You know, there was a post here a year or more ago about using javascript to prevent duplicate form submissions, but I can’t find it right now. I did find some results with google though, just not at this site.

http://www.google.com/search?q=prevent+duplicate+form+submission+javascript

The solution posted here at bbpress.org was similar to this one (at the end):

You guys are really doing a great job!

[_ck_]

There is a set of templates called bbpress-raw that is probably what you are looking for.

http://bbpressraw.com/bbpress_blank_themes/

[_ck_]

bbxf if the work in progress – it’s in it’s infancy however and you’ll have to look at previous work by others on the phpbb2 convertor. There is no 1 minute way, it’s going to take some time and effort.

Is the phpBB 3.0 converter included in bbPress 1.0 alpha 2? Just curious, I’m interested in testing it out.

[agitainment]

Hi, there.

I have been getting sporadic errors with my RSS feeds using both my own theme and the default Kakumei theme on the latest installation of bbPress.

Sometimes when I hit the various RSS links, the following error comes up on a new page followed by a listing of the document tree:

“This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.”

Usually, when I hit the back button on my browser and try the feed button again, it works fine.

Any idea what’s going on here and how to fix it?

Thanks!

[tdrinker]

I have no computer literacy. If you don’t mind…

What is CSS? Where are my templates?

Can I make the text larger?

[nekita]

Happy birthday bbPress and a huge ‘THANK YOU’ to everyone involved and the nice people answering questions here.

[agitainment]

Yes, I think this is what it is.

I’ve run into it on every theme I’ve tried, including the default. It always shows the same forrest-green box with the bbPress logo and an error message like “You need to actually submit some content!” It’s really jarring when coming out of my theme, which has a kind of handmade-look (http://agitainment.com/ics/forum).

So, is there no hope for me to be able to restyle this myself?

Thanks for your help, everyone!

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

tdrinker, you can do all that in your templates. Either use CSS to make it invisible or remove it from your templates.

[Bharat Karavadra]

Well _ck_,

Your Post is in good time, it’s the birth of the Set Forever forum powered by bbpress 1.0 alpha 2 (as it’s called currently).

So bbPress installations are surging to nearly 5001 forums and todays bbPress installations may have just been 11 with the one on Set Forever.

Please take a look and be gentle as it’s my first work with bbPress.

http://www.setforever.org/forums/

[tdrinker]

First let me say, bbPress is great!

Say I want to remove “Hot Tags”? Can I do that? Say I want to remove other stuff, like the option to put tags at the bottom of your post? Is that possible?

You see, I am all about fewer options.

[Bharat Karavadra]

That’s good,

I first sounded as if we should take a step backwards.

Sorry for my misinterpretation!

[Radium]

Well, the issue has not been resolved and it is a problem with Alpha 2. For now I myself am going to stick with Alpha 2 until an update (or plugin for wordpress as the keymaster mentioned in the linked topic above) is released. This problem would probably require some code modification, but I don’t have time to carouse the php at the moment. At least they forewarned us by calling it alpha

Hello,

My server seized up yesterday and it looks to me like the bbpress-live plugin was the root cause of the problem. I could be wrong and would be grateful for some other’s opinions on this.

I have a trunk installation and the rounded corners don’t work when viewed in IE7. I think the “border-*-*-radius” stuff is a CSS3 property that IE7 does not support. It degrades nicely, but the problem is with IE7 not bbPress, I don’t think. I like that is a non-javascript way of doing it.
