I don’t want my subforums to showup on frontpage as in http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/subforums-and-markup?replies=12
I tried fel64’s recommendation:
<?php foreach( $forums as $forum ) : ?>
//blaaaaah HTML
<?php endforeach; ?>
to this sort of thing:
<?php foreach( $forums as $forum ) :
if( !$forum->forum_parent ) { ?>
//blaaaaaah HTML
<?php }
enforeach; ?>
I get an error on line 60,
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in front-page.php on line 60
Line 60 writes
<?php endif; else : // $forums ?>
&& and || are just two different things. && means both things have to be true for the entire result to be true, || means just one needs to be true for the entire result to be true.
On a german keyboard I think it’s the capital letter on button just left of backspace. On a spanish layout it should be the one two left of enter, the one that also gives you ^ and [ (if I’m looking at the diagrams right). 
There is one thing you can do – there’s a generic query filter that executes every time bbdb makes a query. You could use a regex to get the thread numbers from that. (If you don’t know regexes that well I could write it.)
Probably no design decision behind that, just an oversight. Go to trac, log in using your details here and create a new ticket requesting this (marking it as an enhancement not bug). Mdawaffle (^^) is busy with wp or something at the moment but when he sees it he’ll probably either implement or discuss at least.
I don’t know the answer to the BIGINT and 32 bit signed stuff, but I do know this has happened before, sort of. Maybe this will help you sort it out. Basically, you need to reset the auto_increment user id to something sane. In the past, it happened on conversion from phpBB I think.

Thanks for the explanation, do you have to put && insted of ||
“By the way, the backtick ` that indicates code is on the top left button on most English and European characters. “
-> sorry for that because I have it quite difficult, I’m using a german keyboard and OS is in Spanish 
No problem.
Option #3 was a throwaway possibility, not really meant for actual use as it’s rather silly.
whatever && !is_bbpress() means, literally, that whatever has to be true AND is_bbpress() is not true. The ! operator inverts the boolean meaning, so true becomes false and vice versa. If is_bbpress() is true, ! makes it read as false. If false, it makes it read as true.
By the way, the backtick ` that indicates code is on the top left button on most English and European characters.
I uploaded to my web so anyone else interested can check.
Thanks for your help fel64!
oops! sorry, I didn’t define what happens whe is_bbpress(), I just exclude it.
now it is working;
‘
<?php if (
is_page()
)
{ ?>
<!– one ad block –>
<?php } elseif (
is_single()
&& !is_bbpress()
)
{ ?>
<!– two ad blocks –>
<?php } elseif (is_bbpress()
)
{ ?>
<!– half ad block –>
<?php } else
{ ?>
<!– no ads –>
<?php } ?>
‘
Well, more or less this is working but now bbpress goes to the last “else” statement and I don’t know why;
‘
<?php if ( is_page() )
{ ?>
<!– one ad block –>
<?php } elseif ( is_single() && !is_bbpress() )
{ ?>
<!– two ad blocks –>
<?php } else
{ ?>
<!– no ads –>
<?php } ?>
‘
I haven’t try your third option yet because I didn’t understand quite enough.
Thanks again fel64,
I tried the second one because it seemed the easiest to me and I think it is working ok.
This -> ‘ && !is_bbpress() ‘ means “exclude bbpress”, doesn’t it?
The first one, ” elseif “, is quite interesting -> in my wp custom theme, I turned index.php into a cms which displays what’s new in the whole web, and I created a static page called “blog” to display the “blog” itself.
Well, with this configuration, whenever you make a is_home statement , the function points to the static page I created and called “blog” and I can’t find the way to make the function to point to my custom index.php main page. Perhaps because the static page I called “blog” has the loop?
Actually the function works just fine, you’re just expecting it to work differently. Try using different flow control or rewriting your logic.
if( blah_is_true() ) {
} elseif( foo_is_true() ) {
} elseif( third_thing_is_true() ) {
} else {
// default
}
The elseifs mean that if a previous if statement was true, none of the successive ones will be tried. That way, if it is bb, it won’t even check if it’s single or a page.
Alternatively,
if( ( is_single() || is_page() ) && !is_bbpress() ) {
}
will work just fine.
If you’ve integrated bb into wp that way, of course some of the WP template tags will work that way. If you wanted everything else to return false when you loaded bb, you’d have to do this:
function adjust_flags_to_bb() {
global $wp_query;
$wp_query->init_query_flags();
}
add_action('bb_init', 'adjust_flags_to_bb', 999);
//not sure if that's the right action, but meh
but that’s really quite unnecessary.
“What’s the actual problem? How are you using it, what do you expect it to do, what exactly is it doing?”
->
In my wp-bb integration, bbpress is integrated in wordpress and the forum uses the wordpress sidebar. I want to insert advertising blocks in the free space that I have in the bottom of the sidebar.
I’m trying to use wp conditional tags to display different ad blocks because in some pages I have space enough for one block, and in other pages I have space for two or three blocks.
In wp single pages I can display at least two 120×600 blocks so I’m using is_single() but I realized that these blocks are appearing in the bbpress forum too! and I just have no space enough for them so I want to change them for a 125×125 block when the forum is displayed or perhaps I could remove all ads when bbpress displayed.
So “How are you using it” -> after copy/pasting your function in my theme functions file, I inserted this code in my sidebar;
‘
<?php if (is_bbpress()
|| is_archive()
) { ?>
<!– 125×125 block –>
…
…
<?php } ?>
<?php if (is_single()
|| is_page()
) { ?>
<!– 160×600 block –>
…
…
<?php } ?>
‘
“what do you expect it to do” -> showing different ads blocks in the sidebar when bbpress displayed
“what exactly is it doing” -> is showing the blocks I set for is_single ()
Yeah that’s right. It was long process. I worked on the backend while my colleague did all the Flash wizardry. I’ll do a full writeup as soon as I have permission
What’s the actual problem? How are you using it, what do you expect it to do, what exactly is it doing?
You’re the one that asked about BB_Query a while back to achieve this, right? Looks good, nice concept. My only problem is that it feels unresponsive when you select a star.
What all did you have to do to achieve this? If you could write up and post here or somewhere your general method, problems maybe and so on, that’d be great for other people that might want to do this.
It’s pre-1.0. What did you expect?
> so you can not search by poster name, or a date range?
Yes, you can. That is only the default.

Hey fel64
I tried and it seems to work until you make an is_single() statement because then, wordpress takes bbpress subpages; topics, profiles… as if they were wp single entries.
Is it possible to catch the whole bbpress installation with your function?
We’ve built a flash site which uses bbPress as it’s backend for serving content. I think this might be the first time bbPress has been used in this way, as far as I know, and we’re pretty excited about it. Just goes to show how flexible bbPress is.

The Create Star section is the best bit.
Would love to read your thoughts on this.
that’s the problem, the error appears while posting something with an ‘ character!
the error is:

I was able to log in, post, and log out. I did not have any trouble.
That bb_online table is created by the Simple Onlinelist, IIRC, and that error happens one time, then goes away, since the table is created the first time you load the page with the call to the function. So, it probably fixed itself.
Related?

Hi there!
I’ve started a new site hosting a couple of WordPress plugins, I did for my customers and wanted to publish: http://wordpress.designpraxis.at/
The newest release is BackUpWordPress (http://wordpress.designpraxis.at/plugins/backupwordpress/), a must for all bloggers running WordPress. This Plugin is a Backup and Recovery Suite for WordPress, which was released 4 days ago and downloaded 447 times until now. I am not able to handle the support request via comments on the blog anymore so yesterday I decided to start http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/
…powered by bbPress of course!
http://temporadadepatos.net/foros/
I use a lot of Plugins, some I’ve edited myself. I haven’t checked for new versions in some time, so I may be out of date :p.
* Upload Avatar Plugin
* Allow Images
* Signature Plugin (edited to allow images)
* Quote (edited to display who you’re quoting)
* BB Emoticons (with tango emoticons)
* Fix Auto-Close
* No ?replies
* Front Page Topics
* BBCode for BBPress (We encourage use of regular markup, but we have this option available to our users).
* Comment Quicktags
* Show Post Count
* Fix BBpress
* Online List
* Page Links
* Indicate New Posts
* BBPress Private Messaging
* TDP Badges (A custom plugin I made to give out badges to our users depending on their taste in games and their accomplishments).
I hacked some code to allow a color changing tag-cloud. I guess that’s it.

I lost my marbles somewhere along the way. 
I did make one change to the forums – added smilies. Every bozo I’ve got now was using smilies.
Why are so many basic functions of forums left out of bbpress?
Will there be more development on this product?
