I have the same thing. I tried everything. When i click on ‘show topic’ on my ne forum, or any other – i am redirected to main wordpress page.

The most stupid thing is that just after i installed bbpress, it was working. But after i was trying to integrate with wordpress – several bugs have occured, so i deleted bb and cleared the databe, but now after another install, it simply doesnt work, just like the topic says.

Hi Susan,

Is sounds like maybe the .php file extension on your computer has become “associated” with MS Picture It? If so, try changing the file association for .php on your computer.

I would start over. Download a new copy of bbPress and make the changes with a text editor like notepad or download a free copy of something like editpad.

Greetings, I downloaded BBpress, and when I went to make the changes I noticed that all the php files had be saved as “MS Picture It” files… can someone help me with this… changing the file extension does not help at all…

Thanks!!!

Susan

feature suggestion:

change the “install” column to “action” and in addition to the “install” link, create a “readme” link with a link directly to the svn readme. The full path and filename should already be known. If you keep it outside of trac, it can be viewed directly in the browser since the correct headers are sent.

ie. https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/plugin-browser-for-bbpress/trunk/readme.txt

optionally you could use the curl/fsockopen fetch and format the readme.txt into pretty html with colours and bold so it’s easier to read.

(you could then also include a direct download link in the “action” column so it would be three lines: “readme” “install” “download” )

@schmitt, Thanks for the feedback

No I don’t have an SVN for the k2 BBPress theme, but what changes would you submit. Before posting please think about my following points.

(a) I have not yet implemented a “proper” tab bar , like the solution posted by Sabutay as “normal” users don’t like editing things…. what ever I implement as a template would be wrong for the majority of people.

(b) fam-fam icons, I do want to do, but I don’t want to unnecessarily bloat the theme, just installing a ccs file is kinda cool. Just using a css also makes the theme more “secure”, i.e. anyone who developed their theme from the original wordpress kubrick theme has had to keep releasing updates in order for the theme not to be vulnerable to XSS various attacks.

It seems like a good idea. Why not pitch that to the bbdev mailing list?

You can’t change the colour based on who’s read it because there’s no way to tell who’s read the new post or not (hence it not being new if they have read it). There is however a plugin to track who’s read what last post but that which unfortunately needs yet another plugin.

bbPress is very weak in the user event tracking department. Not even a built in last login date which is a serious flaw in design.

[_ck_]

It’s like that on purpose

That hosting only costs like $10 a year but it still costs.

Obviously if anyone wanted to use the template I’d either remove the ad entirely or put a space there if they wanted.

I mean K2 wordpress… not BBPress…

If one were to add enhancements to the K2 BBpress theme, I don’t think there is an SVN to submit changes.

Does it make sense to have a themes SVN just like plugins?

[Andrew]

Thanks. At some point I want to integrate this into the full K2. I like the theme but the lack of recent progress on development is disconcerting.

I worked overnight to bring the My Views plugin up to date for public release. I am pleased to announce it now works with both 0.8.2.1 and the trunk!

But it now goes way beyond that. Be sure to read the readme.txt

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/67

You can see a demo here: http://bbpress.nfshost.com/forums/view/most-views

(My Views is a powerful addition to the default “views” in bbPress. It will let you customize output and adds several new views. My Views consists of a main plugin and several optional “module” plugins that can be added if desired for additional new views.)

Appended bbPress Views by My Views:

* Latest Discussions

* Topics I’ve Started

* Topics I’ve Participated In

Extended bbPress Views by My Views if optional “bb Topic Views” plugin by Mike Wittmann is installed http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/53

* Topics with the most views

* Topics with the least views

Extended bbPress Views by My Views if optional “Plugin Browser for bbPress” plugin by Sam Bauers is installed http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/57

* Installed bbPress Plugins

* Available bbPress Plugins

and many little other tweaks to views including proper titles and headers as well as a dropdown views list box.

Well…I’ve resolved my (and maybe also your) problem… the problem was that I’ve used the same db prefix for both bbpress and wordpress… I feel like an idiot I just didn’t read the instructions too carefuly

[suff]

I have the same problem…

[froots]

I need someone to integrate BBpress to my exiting site,if anyone is intrested..pls email me at froots@gmail.com and i will brief you on what are the things and looks that i need. Thanks guys..

I guess you’ll see that the way it works around here is you get the idea, you volunteer to make the plugin

Start coding. But seriously, without cron jobs or pseudo cron it will be tricky to do this. A plugin would have to check the time of day each time it runs and then keep whatever user is currently visiting on a delay while it emails however many people. This can be problematic. What if the site is fairly idle at that time when it should email and noone is visiting? What if there are 100 emails to send, will the people be kept waiting over a minute or two?

Personally I’m just using yahoo rss to email alerts. It watchs the rss feed for you for changes.

But this plugin could be easily changed to have two checkboxes, one to just email a summary at end of day, vs when it happens:

Hey linickx, great theme, I love it!

[fel64]

Find the .post rule and add overflow: auto; to it. That way there will be a scroll bar at the bottom if anything is too long. overflow: hidden; will simply hide it instead.

Also, if you didn’t know bb does let you search. Hit up http://www.nyquistcapital.com/forums/search.php . You can also add a search form to your template but I’m not sure just how.

[Andrew]

I have found if I post very long links they do not wrap. Any clue on how to prevent this?

[MaryJane]

Yea after i tried posting it in there a few times i figured that out. Will do boss!

[fel64]

If you’d be so kind as to take all that code out of your post and put it in http://pastebin.ca/ then link to it, that’d be nice. Also, bb doesn’t by default use bbCode. Code is delimited by ` backticks.

This is what i have for my wp login. I want my users to login/register from the wp side. So i have this snippet of code i gathered from various forum posts as well as some of it was in my current theme.

It says Welcome guest when you arent logged in or registered and it gives the link to register. If your signed in or sign in it says Welcome username and shows the forum avatar you have set. Based on your user level it shows you different links for each thing you can do. Like make a post in WP or your profile and favorites in the forum.

I have a redirect page setup that when you login from this form it just directs you back to the index page instead of going automatically to the dashboard as this confuses most people and the links are on there if your signed in to show you what you can do.

** I didnt write this i just gathered it up from various sources on the internet in different forum posts and edited it to suit my needs. Part of it was already wrote into the theme i bought for my wp. **

pastebin url to it: http://pastebin.ca/651318

The redirect part is a file i named redirect.php and placed in my wp main directory with a redirect link to the main page. You can see that bit here :

http://pastebin.ca/651326

If you have your bbpress intergrated well with wp you should be able to use the same form on your forum. That is what i use.

Looks pretty good in FF. You could push the google ad down a bit. It looks to cluttered there squashed upside your views and tags section.
