Hack her plugin to use a custom time-displaying function instead of the bbPress ones. I’ve set up a ticket asking for it to be simple to do what you want but I don’t believe it’s that easy right now.

Hey there

i´ve just installed the files for the spanish version of bbpress in the bb-includes/languages and the files are es_ES.mo and another one called the same but with .po or something… and when i go to the settings i cannot setup this… whats the problem? im using the Alpha version 1.0…

thanks!

You don’t need to use a function: you could add the functionality you want just by hacking the plugin. You can always refactor later to move some things into functions.

Start simple. Find the place where the message is displayed to the user. Then, add some html there to display an image. Make sure you upload the image, then make sure you get the path to the image correct. I think that would be pretty simple.

I thought there was a “newmail.png” already included though? I don’t use the PM plugin, but if that icon is present, where is it displayed? If it’s not on the page you want, I would use the same method they use to display it, just on a different page.

Although the title of this topic is “Private Messaging Popup” you’re not looking to create a javascript popup when the user logs in that they have a PM, are you?

You could also contact the plugin author:

http://faq.rayd.org/bbpress_private_message/

From that page:

Visible representation of when a message hasn't been seen (in your inbox and sent box)

Ah yes, thanks Chris, missed the space and dot. Thanks again.

[chrishajer]

I think you left off the trailing “[space] dot” that indicates “put it in the current directory” or path. From the svn help:

If PATH is omitted, the basename of the URL will be

used as the destination.

 

That means it creates “trunk” for you, which you don’t want.

Just delete the trunk directory and cd into the forum directory again, and run this whole thing:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ .

There is a / then a [space] then a period at the end there. That will put it into the current directory with no trunk directory being created.

[patung]

“Just to be sure, I’m starting fresh so I should bash this:

mkdir forum

cd /forum

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ .”

___________

I just did that, it worked, but now what I have is a folder called “trunk” in my /forum/ folder. All the bbpress files are in /forum/trunk/ but I was hoping they would just be in /forum/. So I’m not sure what to do next.

Sorry I’m entirely new to using svn….

The previous reply says “posted 15 seconds ago” immediately after I posted it.

[chrishajer]

Resurrecting this thread. This forum has been slow all day. Slow to load pages; slow to add tags; slow to reply. Most replies I submit have something on the order of 23 seconds as the “Posted” time where it’s normally between 1 and 3 seconds.

I’ve installed bbpress .9.0.2 and I’m not integrating with WordPress. The install went fine, but when I log in as the keymaster, I see the link to the Admin area, but clicking on it does nothing. I’ve looked at a couple of other posts about this but they were for earlier versions, so I don’t think they’re going to solve my problem. Help greatly appreciated.

I’ve been trying to install and integrate wp 2.5.1 and bbPress 0.9 a couple of times to have both cookie- and userdata integrated, but after removing all databases and configfiles two times in a row and reinstalling I still get this error in my bbPress-installation:

Duplicate key name ‘user_nicename’

>>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation.

What causes this error?

[shoggy]

However, I can skip using wordpress registration page to solve this..

[shoggy]

My setup is fully working, except :

when a user register via wordpress, he dont get the good capabilities, so he can’t post on bbpress!

user registered via bbpress get the good capabilities (a:1:{s:6:”member”;b:1;} in wp_usermeta).

In the admin integration option (http://domain.tld/forums/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php), I mapped wordpress subscribers to bbPress members.

How can I fix this ?

Thanks!

btw, does some know if there is a planned release date for bbPress 1.0 ?

[jbbrwcky]

That did it! Thanks very much

[keppy]

Yeah, that seems to be the way its working. Forums that you check “Forum is Category” for become container forums with no topics and special CSS classes. I think that’s a fine way to do it once you understand what’s going on. It just seemed a bit weird at first because in the backend there isn’t really any differentiation between category forums and regular forums.

[shoggy]

I tried greenhome’s solution and it almost worked. Thanks!

However I got some minor errors, especially with links like http://domain.tld/forums/topic/test?replies=3#post-17 or http://domain.tld/forums/profile/username/favorites?fav=0&topic_id=1&_wpnonce=10a4ad44b8

Here is a workaround :

In /etc/lighttpd/bbpress-rewrite.conf, I have :

url.rewrite-once += (

# /forum/FORUM-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "forum.php?id=$1&page=$2",

"^" + bbpressdir + "forum/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "forum.php?id=$1",

# /topic/TOPIC-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "topic/([^/?]+)(?(.*))?$" => bbpressdir + "topic.php?id=$1&$3",

"^" + bbpressdir + "topic/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)(?(.*))?/?$" => bbpressdir + "topic.php?id=$1&page=$2&$4",

# /tags/TAG-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "tags/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2",

"^" + bbpressdir + "tags/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "tags.php?tag=$1",

"^" + bbpressdir + "tags/?$" => bbpressdir + "tags.php",

# /profile/PROFILE-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3",

"^" + bbpressdir + "profile/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "profile.php?id=$1&page=$2",

"^" + bbpressdir + "profile/([^/]+)/([^/?]+)(?(.*))?/?$" => bbpressdir + "profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&$4",

#"^" + bbpressdir + "profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2",

"^" + bbpressdir + "profile/([^/?]+)(?(.*))?$" => bbpressdir + "profile.php?id=$1&$3",

# /view/VIEW-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "view/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "view.php?view=$1&page=$2",

"^" + bbpressdir + "view/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "view.php?view=$1",

"^" + bbpressdir + "rss/?$" => bbpressdir + "rss.php",

# /rss/FEED-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "rss/forum/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "rss.php?forum=$1",

"^" + bbpressdir + "rss/topic/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "rss.php?topic=$1",

"^" + bbpressdir + "rss/tags/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "rss.php?tag=$1",

"^" + bbpressdir + "rss/profile/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "rss.php?profile=$1"

)

Finally, I just add this configuration for each vhost using bbpress :

$HTTP["host"] =~ "domain.tld" {

var.bbpressdir = "/forums/"

include "bbpress-rewrite.conf"

}

Hope this helps!

Most likely due to selecting permalinks but not setting up the .htaccess file with rewrite rules.

[chrishajer]

My take on it (completely uninformed BTW) was that a category acts like a parent that won’t have any topics in it. There have been requests in the past when creating multiple subforums to be able to skip putting topics in a parent forum (now called a category). It would just be a container for subforums.

Hi

I have a wordpress install in the top directory and then a bbpress install sitting in the /bbpress/ directory. Whenever I go to a forum page, profile pages, post pages etc., I get the WordPress 404 taking over saying it doesn’t exist.

Is this something I can fix?

Thanks!

Richard

Congrats on the alpha release!

Use the plugin in this post and it will work:

[keppy]

I’ve been creating a new template to fit into my current WP install, and while doing so I noticed the new ‘Forum is Category’ checkbox in the forum management area of bb-admin. I tried it out on a few forums and noticed the different classes assigned and the ‘bb_get_forum_is_category()’ check in front-page.php of kakumei. I also noticed that you can’t post topics to forums that you check as categories.

So to get the point, is the intention here that you create forums, check them as categories, then create subforums of the category forum and theme things as you see fit with the different forum classes? Or am I misunderstanding the 1.0 implementation of categories?

[geekymom]

ck–I can’t even get to the admin panel at this point as the install didn’t create a keymaster account.

benzilla–all my files are 777 and still the issue.

Also, I should note that I got the same error just now when I logged in to *this* site, so it seems like a software problem. I’ll check the known issues area in trac.

What we’ve come up with so far is that in in bb-load.php, there’s a loop happening when installation doesn’t complete. It could be something along the lines of what you mention, ck, in that the location is redirected. I’d change the settings but I don’t see where to do that. I’m going to see what I can do later today and I’ll be sure to post any updates.

[chrishajer]

I’m afraid I still don’t understand what you’re trying to do. You will have those other forums and sub forums, but they won’t be listed on the front page? What is the rationale? Maybe a plugin already exists to do what you want.

Maybe the Hidden Forums plugin will help you.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

If the forums are not listed on the front page, how will you get to them otherwise? And if you can’t get to them, why are they there?

[csseur3]

Hey, i try to add my own bbcode with http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/93

In BBcode-lite.php, i do that:

$simple = array('t' => 'h4','b' => 'strong', (etc)

but in my page, the source say that:

<p></p><h4>Quel statut?</h4>


so, the normal code must be:

<p><h4>Quel statut?</h4>
</p>

no?

why the formatting is not correct?

Bye

[chrishajer]

It’s not related to this is it?

All the forums set to categories? Just a SWAG.
