My bbPress does not want to show graphics and log me on.

It looks like if i would run it from my disk, without xampp.

Help me please.

My bbPress does not want to show graphics and log me on.

It looks like if i would run it from my disk, without xampp.

Here is my config.php

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘admin’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘precision’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://my-cool-forums.example.com&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = ‘/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Thinker’;

// This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘v@m.com’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = 0;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

Yep, just have a look at the beginning of the injected javascript, in the plugin file. st is the variable through which you change the CSS of the box. Regarding position, the original file has:

st.position = "fixed";

st.left = st.top = "40px";

Changing top to bottom may give what you are asking for. You can change the value, of course, and add other CSS that you may want. Also, if you know JavaScript, you can make the box work as a draggable window, there are examples of that out there.

I’ve just tried it under MSIE and guess what, it puts the box in the bottom of the page, after all content (that is, where it is generated).

And there’s a BUG (I’m talking about my files again, not MSIE positioning). The “close this box for this session” closes it forever. Well, for “more than just this session”, a week, I think. I can’t correct it and test it now, but the change needed would be to add the “just for this session” expiration time for the “annoying_box” cookie. That’d be the third parameter to bb_cookie in line 15 of themes.php. There are only two parameters now, and bbPress takes the absence of the third (or its value being 0) to mean a week. Right now I don’t know if you have to set a value in the past, a negative value or no value to make it a session cookie. In the latter case, it may be necessary to call setcookie directly instead of bb_cookie as bb_cookie changes the no-value case to a week.

You may also leave that option out, the “box that disappears after 5 seconds” one may be enough.

Pro Forums has just introduced a brand new theme switcher for you to try out different available themes for bbPress. All credit for the coding itself goes to lonemadman. To view more information, go here: http://proforums.palmansworld.com/bbpress-plugins/theme-switcher/

Or to view the beast itself here: http://proforums.palmansworld.com/foro

OK. Looking in the database tables in bb_topicmeta from bb_active_theme the value is C:WWWPUBLICforums.mybbpress.com/bb-templates/kakumei

I have no idea how this value got there, or if I might have other problems elsewhere. What should this value be?

[Trent Adams]

The forums here and the blog are done with CSS and their own themes meant to look the same. The tutorials are a way to have bbPress using the WP theme itself I believe.

Are you using xampp? I’ve no experience with that whatsoever, but since it’s a path on your hard drive it seems that way to me. I’ve seen a few people say they’ve had problems using bbPress with that, and someone rightly point out that if you test on xampp you’ll get a bunch of errors you wouldn’t get on a server and miss the ones you would get.

I’ve personally had no problems on my server, and if you already have hosting and an unused or wordpress db then there probably isn’t any harm in just testing it on the server.

Edit: err – hehe …

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.

[ccmve]

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 created a trac ticket:

You don’t have to know Spanish to send mail

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!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

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 -->";

}

?>

[Trent Adams]

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.

Trent

[mirce]

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!

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.
