I just installed bbpress and I have a feed of my forum in my netvibes page, but it does not seem to ‘refresh’?

My quesiton is: How fast does the netvibes page should ‘notice’ that I posted a new post in my forum? Is there something I should look into? I think it should be ‘noticed’ at once. Right?

Many thanks!

Update => It was just published in my netvibes page… that was after like 50 mins!! And I hit ‘refresh’ in the netvibes feed. Is this normal?

Hi,

Thank you for letting me know. I suspect the problem is something to do with the fact that an extra database field has been created, and the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin is not updating that field. I have downloaded the plugin and will look at the code to see what’s going on — the fix may have to be in ‘bbPress Post’ rather than my plugins – but it may just be a small code change you can make yourself.

So, I’ll get back to you in this topic later.

Posts I make to my blog until today showed up thanks to the bbpress post plugin on my forums. Now they’re posting to the forums but closed from the outset so nobody can comment on them.

If I click on ‘close topic’ it changes to ‘open topic’ but remains closed. Click it again, it goes back to ‘close topic’ and, again, stays closed.

Does anyone have a fix, please?

Perhaps this plugin_deactivate hook is a nice idea to add?

Then something in the plugin:

on deactivation -> drop table x OR drop row x

made a trac for this

[fel64]

Not as far as I know. It depends if there is a plugin_deactivate hook and if bb keeps data on plugins (and their tables), which I both doubt.

For WP I think I saw a plugin which had a clean up tables button or something, so you could clean up before deactivating. Come to think of it … I never did clean up before deactivating. >_<

Hi,

Is it possible at all to update a db table when de-activating a plugin?

Some plugins create an own db table and it would be great if this table is deleted when a plugin is deativated. Keeps the db clean

I am working on a few themes for WordPress and BBPress and would very much like to use (and perhaps release) concurrent ones for wordpress and bbpress.

The WordPress example, and what I hope to eventually accomplish can be seen here. It’s kind of simple, I know. I am having a bit of trouble with the BBPress theme of the same styling because it does things so much differently than WordPress.

I am struggling (a bit) with trying to figure out the CSS required, but is there a bit more ‘in-depth’ description of the style sheet and various php files for the basic BBPress theme? I am having trouble getting it to do things the same way as the working theme. As well, is there a way to get the borders of the photographs displayed in posts to change? The graphics used would have to be scalable (corners intact) and be ‘above’ the images photos displayed, and a method for bypassing that feature as well (basically a method of using the same photo to demonstrate the cutouts used).

Thanks muchly.

My forum is at http://thehathorlegacy.info/forum/. It’s for discussing how women are portrayed in film and TV.

I’m using the Crystal theme by http://33rockers.com/. I’m using wmarcy’s fix listed above until Bozo and Akismet stop marking half the posts as spam.

For plugins:

bb-avatar

bb-limit-latest-discussion

comment_QT_4_bbpress (quick tags to make the comment box more user-friendly – awesome!)

fix-bbpress (which I think is awaiting a fix of its own, LOL)

patch-to-URL (can’t honestly recall what version this one was for?)

I’ve been fiddling around inside Ardentfrost’s Private Messaging plugin, which is very cool!

One question I have, though… it seems that when a PM is sent, it ignores the line breaks from the text area so that everything runs together. I suppose you could hard code the paragraph tags in, but most users would never take the time to do that.

This might belong in the discussion on that plugin’s page, but my question is a general one. In the normal BBP post routine, it automatically converts the double line breaks so they show up correctly in the post. How is this done, and is it simple enough that I could add it somewhere in the plugin to make it perform the same way when a new private message is posted?

Thanks!!!

This is my migrated phpBB forum. It’s integrated with my main site rather tightly (UI-wise, not database), and I did a bit of modification to the post layout, making the best use of the narrow column I think. Other than that, just your usual CSS tweakage.

It’s not live yet, so I welcome feedback:

The plugins I’m using are:

Front Page Topics

Page links

It works if you are willing to download the latest TRAC version from https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/ and then scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking the ‘download in other format – Zip format’. That is the latest development version. Then you have to change your config.php to have:

$bb->mod_rewrite = 'slugs';

Your .htaccess file should just be back to whatever you had before. Mine is just the + MultiViews part.

Once 1.0 comes out, it will be a standard part of the release. There was much discussion on how to include a ‘prettier permalinks’ structure into bbPress and this was agreed upon and is committed to the TRAC development version of bbPress. I personally love it!

Trent

[ThomasClausen]

I thought I had it figured it out…

It seemed like the pretty permalinks ruined the frontpage-rss. Therefore I removed followed step 3 in How do I get Pretty Permalinks working? and that seemed to do the trick, eventhough the Pretty Permalinks did work before with just: Options +MultiViews in the .htaccess file.

It doesn’t work though, the rss feed looks like this: http://voipbloggen.dk/forum/rss/

• But it is not up to date,
• and the link doesn’t work

[ThomasClausen]

When I click on the RSS-icon in FF browser window, i get these errors:

bbPress database error: [Table ‘*****.bb_online’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT activity FROM bb_online WHERE user_id=1 LIMIT 1

bbPress database error: [Table ‘*****.bb_online’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_online WHERE user_id = 1 LIMIT 1

bbPress database error: [Table ‘*****.bb_online’ doesn’t exist]

INSERT INTO bb_online (user_id, activity) VALUES (‘1’, ‘2007-03-25 10:56:55’)

***** = BBDB_NAME

Any thoughts on what’s wrong?

[zapata]

trent, sorry was away. no I’m keeping wp and bbpress seperate except for the user integration plugin. I’ll create a user for you and send it to you right away.

Let us give him some more time…

[Trent Adams]

I am over my head when combining WP and bbPress functions and know next to nothing with Ajax. Hopefully mdawaffe (Michael) will see this post or head over to https://bbpress.org/about/development/ and see if you can contact him another way!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

If you changed from 1.3 to 2.2 in Apache and it worked before the upgrade, it must have something in there that it doesn’t like with the Mod Rewrite handling. I am not sure myself, but I would change my .htaccess in the bbPress root folder of http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/forums/ to have only:

Options +MultiViews

Nothing else. Try it in that and in your http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/bkrv/ test run with the new version as well. Either way, it should work for one of them. That works best with most servers I have used and they are using Apache 2+. Try that out maybe and if not, take Fel64’s suggestion and put the contents of what is outputted by: /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php

Comment out this line in the plugin to get page 1 showing.

unset($links[0]);

That’s line 82 in version 1.0.2

[Null]

I mis the page 1

I know clicking the title you go to page 1, but we are all known with the vbulletin way…

So if it has one page, dont show the page tags

If it has two, show the page 1 and page 2 tags

etc etc

Currently i’m trying to develop something using wordpress & bbpress.

Everything flows pretty good when talking on functionality and the rest of features, but there is a problem.

Actually 2 problems. First I already posted here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/867

And now the second one:

The final release has to be in another language but english. It’s true, I found no troubles translating bbpress in my language and the rest of updated wordpress. But after what I’ve integrated both of api’s: the wordpress and bbpress; this resulted in the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class streamreader in /var/www/pm/forum/bb-includes/streams.php on line 26

I suppose it’s because of the translations, cause when I did not defined BBLANG, everything worked well.

After a bit I thought, that a solution for my problem can be joining both of the bbpress and wordpress translation .mo’s and defining just WPLANG for my language settings. That worked, but I dont see this as a pretty simple and accessible solution for everybody!

I would be glad getting some help on that, If there is any other more easier solution, that would be cool.

“If you have already installed bbPress then I think you will have to get rid of it and install it again, but integrating this time.”

Is this true?

[Trent Adams]

mdawaffe is aware of this issue….believe me, he is working hard to get this fixed! Sorry for the problems folks!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

I see your problem there bedbugger. It seems to head over to the wordpress install and give a 404 error when you try and access the forum. What version are you running of bbPress? If you change back to the default theme, do this still happen? Do you have any plugins? If you replace forum.php in your template with the original from the download does that help?

Trent

[mattpeckham]

Just curious – is anyone working on such a thing? I had a terrific plugin for my WP comments section, but now that I’ve migrated everyone to bbPress and shut comments down, we’re in a bit of a bind. I’d gladly have them just color tag their text, but I’m not sure…

Could I create a custom tag that worked like ‘blockquote’ with its own CSS info?
