I figured it was just browser functionality, not based on the software.

I wonder what header the other software sent, (if that’s what did it) and then if you could just send the same header in bbPress to cause the same behavior in the browser?

[chrishajer]

No.

There is a plugin to allow users to post images:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/

There is also a plugin called “Admin can post anything”:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-can-post-anything/

You can also browse around there to see if there are some I have forgotten about. I thought Trent posted a while back about a plugin that allowed users to include all sorts of things, but I don’t know the status of that. I think that was for keymasters and admins only, as well:

Man…i’ve been trying to get bbpress in integrate (sso) for about 4 days now. I’ve tried just about everything these forums have recommended. I first installed WordPress (upgraded to 2.5.1), and then installed the newest version of bbpress in a subdirectory, like http://www.mysite.com/forum. I then went to my “wordpress integration” section of my bbpress installation, set it up as directed…and now I can’t login to the admin section of my bbpress site. I looked into seryi’s suggested changed above, but my code seems to be correct in my pluggable.php file. I tried the “fix admin” plugin from here: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/. I also tried this process (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpbb-integration-admin-problem#post-2539) of changed the phpmyadmin, but I’m confused on what to add where. Is there anything else I can try in order to get this integration working?

chrishajer is right – bbPress probably wouldn’t have released without some tightly knit coding to escape malicious scripts as a standard practice. Though, if you do want to delve deeper into guarding against attacks, there are some pretty handy tutorials on managing databases here: http://www.microsoft.com/hellosecureworld7

I wonder when it will be released for beta testing.

bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress. Just upload the bbpress folder to a subdirectory of your WordPress installation, then access the installer.

http://www.example.com/ <— if this is WordPress

http://www.example.com/bbpress/ <— put the forum here

Then access that URL and start the installation.

[John Conners]

See: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/870

You can make the change yourself to fix this using this changeset:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1499

Or alternatively you can go directly into your MySQL database and remove the row from the bb_topicmeta table with the meta_key of ‘avatars_show’.

Hi,

Hello all,

I’m currently working on an install of bbPress on a website that uses the Equal Height Column CSS technique.

There is a known issue with this and anchor tags as explained at length here:

http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/onetruelayout/appendix/equalheightproblems

Unfortuantely it doesn’t seem like there’s an easy work around.

So my question is…

How easy would it be to remove the anchor jumps from the ‘post’ topic/ ‘edit’ topic etc?

So for example when you post a reply it doesn’t go to

topic.php?id=5&replies=2#post-8

but

topic.php?id=5&replies=2

instead?

Any help with this would be massively appreciated. It’s one of those horrible design headaches.

– Alex

Now the forums have some activity, as we closed our old Vanilla forums

[chrishajer]

Did you try validating the feed

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.criticalmass.at%2Fforum%2Frss%2F

The feed URL returns a 404 Not found Error if you check the headers:

http://www.criticalmass.at/forum/rss/

This sounds like WordPress trying to handle the /forum/ URL and sending a 404 error when the page actually exists. There was a plugin to take care of this sort of thing, I think…

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wordpress-mu-or-not-leads-to-404-errors-but-pages-still-load#post-13156

I think that plugin will resolve the fact that the feed actually returns a 404 error, then I bet the widget will pull the feed just fine. Report back please…

I’ve searched the forum, but I couldn’t find the answer to my problem. I was testing bbPress’ Gravatar function and after being unsatisfied with the outcome I clicked the ‘Show Avatars’ box so the little ‘v’ sign would dissappear. But when I click on the “Update Settings” button the feature stays enabled. In short: I can’t disable the “Show Avatar” thingy.

Take your pick:

Does anyone have a release archives for bbPress, or at least the one for version 0.73. I’m trying to use the phpbb2bbpress http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/ converter, but it only works for 0.73. so i’m thinking I could use that, and then upgrade to version 0.9 later.

[chrishajer]

Is it this plugin?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-topic-views/

[mystifier]

I notice that some BBPress sites include a VIEWS count column but I haven’t managed to find a way to turn it on in Admin or a Plug-in to provide it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[citizenkeith]

I get this error at the top of the pm.php page:

bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'del_receiver' in 'where clause']

SELECT * FROM bb_privatemessages WHERE id_receiver = '1' AND del_receiver= '0' ORDER BY created_on DESC



bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'del_sender' in 'where clause']

SELECT * FROM bb_privatemessages WHERE id_sender = '1' AND del_sender = '0' ORDER BY created_on DESC

Also, all previous Private Messages are missing.

Hey everyone. I’ve been trying to figure out how to match my bbpress theme with my wordpress theme. So far I know I need to somehow integrate my current wordpress header/footer into my bbpress installation. I’m thinking that this might be the only thing that I need to do. Are there any specifics on how to do this?

Mufasa, I’m in the same boat. I’m trying to integrate my bbpress into http://www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/wordpress. Please let me know if you find out how to do this.

[antoniop]

I am thouroughly confused on how to do this. Where the heck would I actually start? I don’t want to integrate the the databases/cookies/etc., I just want to apply the same look of my header and footer at http://www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/ with http://www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/bbpress&#8230;

[parthatel]

How can I create a navigation bar in bbPress so that when I update it in WordPress, it automatically gets updated in bbPress? I don’t want to call the full wp header as the bbPress header, but would I be able to use

<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>

in bbPress to call the pages in the navigation bar? Both my WordPress and bbPress are integrated in the same databases. If not, how can I do it?

Foros Ryuuko

I use a custom theme (heavily a modified Kakumei) and some custom plugins. The forum is new, so it doesn’t have activity, all our users are still using the Vanilla forum we had.

I didn’t hack any core files, all “non standard things” are donde via custom plugins.

Plugins i use:

– My own “Ajustes” (for sidebar, footer and navigation menu content, profile content, and some html tags).

– MD5 Insecurity (will be deactivated soon).

– Private Messaging Extended

– A custom Quicktags (ported from Vanilla)

– Ajaxed Quote

– Simple Online List (i also modified a lot this plugin, because it never worked for me ….).

– Unread Topics. I also modified this one, it was doing too many queries. I added some indices and reduced the overhead.

– User Photo. I ported the User Photo WP plugin.

– Human Test.

Also i indirectly use:

– Gaming Codes: each user can enter his gaming codes. They’re displayed on the user profile.

– Aleph: this plugin creates user lists (among other things). So i use it inside WP like a “member list”. The beauty is that i can easily create different user lists, so i created a list for each gaming code (in other words, users can see which users have a certain gamer code).

As i said, the theme is a heavily modified Kakumei. I replaced all topics/forum loops with my own, trying to mimick the Vanilla look. Also the css is based on the Tarski theme for WordPress. In fact, i import it directly from the WP installation.

For the forum/topic icons, i created a custom plugin which printed the css based on the slug of each forum, and then i added the resulting code to the style.css. I still have to create a lot of icons, those are temporary.

I hope you like my forums and if you have any questions or would like a plugin/theme release, just ask :p

I want to know what I need to change in the bbPress files so that the layout will be changed. Basically, I want the left sidebar currently on the default bbPress on the right, with the content on the left. Also, currently on the default bbPress theme, the sidebar disappears when you click a topic or forum. I want the sidebar to always be present. Is there anyway of doing this and switching the sidebar and content?

[malfhok]

Here’s my bbPress. It’s a forum for kids and teens to discuss books on. I modified the default theme to fit with the color scheme of the main site, and added a few plugins for features that my members wanted.

This is actually our second forum. The first was a YaBB install, which I hated, ’cause it kept letting spammers in. But our members and I love bbPress and the ease of use!

[chrishajer]

Ah, so when you said this “Now, when i get a visitor from “domainB.com”, he will be redirected to “domainA.com” pretty fast, like when he’s clicking the “Home” link on the forum.” this is NOT want you want, eh? You want multiple domains/URLs all pointing to the same bbPress installation and people to stay on the domain they came in from?

[chrishajer]

If you just want the year with php, you don’t need bbPress functions at all, just php:

<?php echo date('Y'); ?>

That will echo the current year.
