Uruguay is such a lovely country, It’s good to impulse the arts, specially film. BBPress is everywhere open to embrace from gaming to arts, from code to random discussion. Code, indeed, is poetry.

The set up is simply http://localhost/bp_web/forums/bbpress and the site is up with no style sheet. I have looked through the templates and I have viewed the source and the style sheet is coming-up as error 404 not found. It seems to me that somewhere in the bbpress coding that the style sheet is not linked properly. I’m not very well versed in php but I have a good handle on css and xhtml.

I responded in your other thread. Also, you can search the forums for template and CSS talk.

Sounds like the path to the site is wrong in the config. Do you have a URL where this is occuring, or any info about your hosting setup.

You have access to the HTML in all the template files and the CSS too. You can make bbPress look like whatever you want.

I am having problems with the character encoding of my bbpress install. I have it integrated with wordpress and when I use the “Latest bbpress discussions” plugin I see the weird characters you get when you mix collations and charsets.

I have wordpress in utf-8 thanks to this plugin: utf8 dtaabase converter.

Before it I had it set to utf but still, the database was showing weird characters (the collation was alright though). So this is probably a MySQL problem somewhere.

Should I try to adapt the wordpress utf8 converter for bbpress?

[rosebud]

Thanks for the words, both of you.

@ w3creativa:

Actually, the translation I am using is from a bbpress related site. I can’t remember which one though. I’ll try and upload the files if you want them.

@ benbeltran:

Dodecá is indeed from Uruguay.

Hi, I’m having problems with the character encoding on a WP/BBpress integrated site. In WP, I can tell the system to encode the page in ISO-8859-1 (which is necessary in this case), in bbpress I don’t know how. I declare the doctype and the meta-content-charset in the theme’s header, but as opposed to the WP pages, the bbpress generated ones are encoded as UTF-8. Looking at the page properties in Firefox, I can see “encoding: UTF-8” and “meta information… charset:ISO-8859-1”.

Can someone help, please? Thanks in advance!

[chrishajer]

Where is it displayed now? Chances are, it’s in the config.php:

$bb->name = 'New bbPress Site';

That is used for what might be called the ‘name’ of your site.

[benbeltran]

incredible design. One of the best bbpress themes I’ve seen untill now.

[ptrkmkl]

Rather simple, but does what I need:

Fits in with the rest of the site quite well.

Hi there – recently installed bbPress and picked a placeholder forum name and now I can’t figure out how to change it?

I would expect to find some “general forum prefs” under the Admin screen of my forum, but no luck.

any advice?

[baptiste]

Here’s the ticket – hopefully the function or some form of it will get added. Possible improvement would be to limit the depth for forums with deep children

Not in production yet – still ironing out various bits, adding stuff that’s missing (oh how I miss AJAX posting), etc. But the breadcrumb stuff works for the forum and topic view.

[Null]

Demo?

[baptiste]

I put together some code to implement a real bread crumb trail for BBPress that should support any level of subforums. I’ll open a ticket for the change too, but until it’s in the trunk (hopefully), you can use it by doing the following.

In bb-includes/template-functions.php, just above the // Forum Loop // line, add the following:

(UGH – Why if I put code inside code tags is bbpress insisting on parsing it and tossing in backticks everywhere! To see the code, check this file: http://onthepitch.org/talk/bb-includes/template-functions.txt)

You’ll have to update your template, mainly forum.php and topic.php. Look for the line like this”

<h3 class="bbcrumb"><a>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> &raquo; <?php forum_name(); ?></h3>

and replace it with something like this:

<h3 class="bbcrumb"><?php forum_bread_crumb(); ?></h3>

And it should work for you.

This is a little off-topic, but iif you are getting that much spam, you may consider looking at Bad Behavior

It blocks spambots before they can add content to the database.

[mciarlo]

Thanks guys! We put a lot of work into the forum design. However, we are updating the entire website and the forums are getting a complete re-design (for the better of course). Feel free to stop by in the next few days to check it out .

you can check my website.. i have used gravatar for bbpress…

[ganzua]

I’d like to add the same tool bar in all my web forms (by the way, it is up with bbpress), tinyMCE, fckeditor… whatever, but the same in all bbpress – wordpress forms.

Is it possible? so far I only was able of displaying tinyMCE in wp with a plugin.

Funny you should ask:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/statistics-module-for-my-views-in-testing

[_ck_]

I began working on this last night:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/views/statistics/

As you should be able to tell it’s far from finished.

I’m interested in hearing ideas for other statistics you’d like to see.

I already just realised a list of the 10 oldest/newest member registrations might be interesting.

Since all those calculations are “expensive” I’ll make it cache them for an hour at a time (perhaps adjustable).

Also there will be more time/user based calculations once I get useronline released for bbpress.

Currently bb-topic-views is required for the module.

I’ll release it for beta test after more work on it tonight.

[benbeltran]

It’s a nice theme, Though I think the views could use a little more line spacing, and maybe a bit of padding between the header/footer and the content. But that’s just me.

And in a different topic, 8.9 Server Load? Ouch!

[wsokc]

Inspiring from Gravatar plugin in WordPress, I try to find a work around to port that plugin to bbPress plugin, so I dont need to host image avatar files for each user.

Is there anyone had done this before ?

[wsokc]

Its Nice theme actually

And for me the size its really neat! and light….

See in firefox, seems no problemo…

When its release ?

Any web host can use a slew of stats programs. They are all web based and work well like sitemeter, awestats, webalizer, etc. As well, you just need to add your Google Analytics code off their site to your header.php and your bbPress forum is listed. You don’t need any special software. Just add the script they give you when you signup to your header.php file of your template.
