I deleted all the theme files, and uploaded mytheme to /my-templates/mytheme/

I was unable to select mytheme from the presentation tab as it still listed the absolute path in the middle of the URL with extra slashes:

http:// forum.mybbpress.com/bb-admin/themes.php? theme=C:\WWW\PUBLIC\forums.mybbpress.com/ my-templates/mytheme/&_wpnonce=36ec0251eb

I had to reload the kakumei folder to /bb-templates/kakumei to get the site working agin. The kakumei theme is now listed under the presentation tab as the current theme.

I can’t use a custom these after upgrading to 0.8.1.

Under the presentation tab it lists my custom theme, but with this URL:

http:// forum.mybbpress.com/bb-admin/themes.php? theme=C:\WWW\PUBLIC\forums.mybbpress.com/ bb-templates/mytheme/&_wpnonce=36ec0251eb

How can I eliminate the extra slashes and the reference to the absolute path?

The default theme is working, and it works great, but I’d like to be able to use my custom theme again!

Thank you very match!

I got your script, and it worked for me. That is, after I added an ‘l’ you deleted with a parenthesis . So it seems the problem with your second try was just a typo. In line 521 the original script said:

$import_sql = utf8_encode($import_sql);

and yours say:

$import_sql = $import_sq;

So add back the ‘l’ or delete the whole line, as it’s useless in the utf8->utf8 version.

I think the contents of your bbpress folder (config.php, bb-includes, bb-images etc) should have been uploaded to /otherblog/forums, and your .htaccess file should go next to them in the /otherblog/forums folder. Good luck

Hello.

I have a WordPress blog installed at:

http://www.mysite.com

And another (with another MySQL database) installed at:

http://www.mysite.com/otherblog

I would like to install bbPress into my ‘otherblog’ like so:

http://www.mysite.com/otherblog/forums

Could someone just clarify what I should put in my config file (as I am getting confused about the correct URL to enter). I am also confused about integrating the BB into my blog. Last time I uploaded (FTP’d) the whole folder (i.e. the ‘bbpress’ folder) to:

http://www.mysite.com/otherblog

Was this the correct location? Should have uploaded the contents of the ‘bbpress’ folder to this location or should it have been uploaded to:

http://www.mysite.com/otherblog/forums

Also, where exactly should I put the .htacess file (to enable permalinks), last time I put it in:

http://www.mysite.com/otherblog/bbpress

I’m sorry if these are simple questions but I don’t want to damage my existing installation of WordPress.

Kind regards,

MadDoc

I have custome made theme and template, so it probally going to take me a lot of hours to manually change everything in bbpress to wordpress. I am thankfull that you posted the above links. Hopefully it will save me some time.

[Trent Adams]

Yeah John, it would be nice for sure! The thing is that most people use bbPress standalone and not WP integrated. It isn’t too bad just getting used to CSS and editing the template of your theme at bbPress. Just changes to header.php, footer.php, front-page.php and style.css mainly! Good luck!

I am not sure of the actual path, but I would imagine that it will be in webspace formatting with forward slashes off localhost or whatever and off the actual server (web server that is) host. Better wait for someone else who has installed on a localhost to answer I guess, but I would imagine that path is not right in your config.php

Trent

[john24]

Thank you Trent. It would be great if bbpress did this automaticly. I am going to try those methodes.

[Trent Adams]

Here are a couple of good places to start (I have never done this, just edit CSS and template to match myself):

I just installed bbpress and now how do I get it to work within my current wordpress template?

[cmoseley]

I’m not sure exactly what your asking. I copied and pasted the code in my WordPress template into my bbPress template. Works fine in WordPress, gives me the above error in bbPress.

The code I used was:

<?php

if ($rs = aggrss('http://onctalk.com/wp-commentsrss2-custom.php'))

{

// dump the structure

//echo "<pre>";

//print_r($rs);

//echo "</pre>";

echo "<a href='" . $rs[link] . "' style='color: #000000; font-weight: bold;' >" . $rs[title] . "</a>";

echo $rs[description] . "<br />";



foreach ($rs['items'] as $item)

{

echo "<p><a href='" .$item['link']. "'>" . $item['title'] . "</a><br/>" .html_entity_decode($item['description']). "</p>";

}

if ($rs['items_count'] <= 0) { echo "Sorry, no items found in the RSS file <img src='http://www.soderlind.no/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt='' class='wp-smiley' /> "; }

}

else

{

echo "<!-- It's not possible to reach RSS file -->";

}

?>

I don’t know if I fully understand. You have your own template in /my-templates/kakumei2/ and that is all you should have to do. If that is your ‘bug free’ version of default theme, then you don’t have to copy over the default theme to /my-templates/ as it is the constant one that changes (hopefully bug free) into /bb-templates/kakumei/ and you shouldn’t worry about that one. Just the templates that you work on or change in your /my-templates/ directory.

I’ve copied bb-templates/kakumei/ to my-templates/kakumei2/ and started my own template in my-templates/kakumei2/ .

The kakumei2 template is basically bb-templates/kakumei/ so it will have the same bugs.

What to do now?

[mirce]

Lol,

I am preparing to switch from PHPbb to bbPress.

PHPbb has indeed many more MODs but its a nightmare when it comes to security and spam.

[Trent Adams]

As long as you have your plugins in /my-plugins/ and your template folders in /my-templates/ then you should be able to go and just overwrite the files from the download into your bbPress folder. The download files don’t have the things you need to protect:

.htaccess

config.php

/my-plugins/

/my-templates/

As long as all your changed files are in the folders, you can go ahead and upload!

[mirce]

I have my template in my-templates and made some changes to

I’ve made some changes to some files. The biggest changes are to the template files. How should I update now and not to loose the changes?

Thanx.

This sounds suspiciously like:

I think it was narrowed down to integration with WP by member: baptiste.

I don’t know if it was solved yet or why it happens, but it seems like we’ve talked about it before.

[flatworm]

if ( !defined('BBPATH') )

define('BBPATH', dirname(C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpress) . '/' );

require_once( BBPATH . 'C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpress' );



?>

Are this last lines correct if the path to my bbpress is: “C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpress” ?

[cmoseley]

Just tried renaming the plugins folder and doing a test post, and the same thing happened.

I’m running bbPress 0.8.0.

Around a week or so ago, I ported over an RS Discuss forum to bbPress (which is what you see right now). Did it using just SQL Queries, so I don’t think it should have effected anything in bbPress.

[cmoseley]

I’ve setup bbPress succesfully and all that good stuff, but now I have this weird issue. Any normally “escaped” characters are showing up in all my and my users posts.

Example:

http://onctalk.com/bbPress/topic.php?id=165&replies=1

Not a clue whats cuasing it, but its pretty annoying, so any help would be appreciated.

Also, if I attemp to edit the post, then delete the slashes, they just reappear again, and if I left any existing slashes, more of them appear to escape the new “/” that was written in my edit post. (Which is why you see ///” instead of /”).

[macwise]

*bump*

Does anyone know how this can be achieved without doing a custom query. (using built in bbpress or wordpress commands)

[ccmve]

I think my problem is slightly different though since bbpress is incorrectly mixing the directory path with the URL and adding extra slashes.
