Topic: No Stylesheet
I recently installed bbPress to localhost to experiment before I put it on a live site. Strangely, the stylesheet was being ignored. Looking at the source brought up this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost#support/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css" type="text/css" />Edit: OK, I can’t seem to type a backslash here, but the # symbol in the above code snippet is actually a backslash (opposite of /)
I have no idea why the slash after localhost is backwards. It appears correctly in all other locations. For what it’s worth, here is the relevant section of my config.php file:
// 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://localhost'; // Example: 'http://bbpress.example.com'
// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. '/' is fine if the site is in root.
$bb->path = '/support/'; // Example: '/forums/'Any help?
Topic: Navigation Theme
I’ve made my first attempt ever at theme-building by trying to port the Navigation theme for WordPress over to bbPress. You can see it in action on my test setup:
http://open-dialogue.com/bbpress
I’m not entirely happy with the way the forum tables display. It looks ok on a 1024×768 resolution, but they mass to the left a bit too much for my liking on higher resolutions (I use 1280×1024). I’m at a bit of a loss, though, to know how to stretch them out enough to fill out the extra white space to the right. I’d be open for suggestions on how to tweak the stylesheet further.
I’m also not real crazy about the login form location, but I’m not sure of a better place to put it.
Everything else seems to look and operate alright. Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated. I’m still figuring out some the latest nuances in stylesheeting (it’s been a few years since I’ve done much site design).
Right now, all my users are members, and I don’t want to make them moderators, but is there a user level I can assign to them to bypass the akismet check, so their posts go through without being checked for spam? What happens now is that if they user tinyurl for long urls or put more than about 3 or 4 (not sure exactly) links, akismet flags them as spam. I would like to use akismet, but I don’t want my regular member’s posts to be filtered.
Can that be done?
I am using .73 but am upgrading to .80 in the next couple of days, if that matters. And I am half-way integrated with WP – the users appear in the WP users page. Oddly, there, most are marked “no role for this blog” although in bbPress > Users they are marked as members.
edit: I should have said “specific user’s posts” – right now, I have akismet turned off so no member’s posts are checked by akismet, but I wonder if there’s a way to “approve” certain members?
Topic: Why not stick to “theme”
…like in WordPress? The additional use of “template” will tend to divide and confuse, no?
Like how, across software, plugins are either “mods”, “modules”, “extensions” or “addons”.
Now’s the time! We can still consolidate the concept into one term.
I’m splitting hairs, I know
. bbPress is wonderful. Thanks so much to the developers. I’m a phpBB veteran (admin), and bbPress is so nice I want to cry.
Success! The Allow Images plugin does nearly the same thing I’m trying to do here. The “pre_post” hook applies the filter when the post is saved, and ideally I’d prefer if the filter were applied when the post is displayed instead, but this can manage all the same. I’ve had to make some changes to accomodate escaping of single quotes, and I’ve expanded the filter to also include aliases for “internal” links, so this will cover MediaWiki’s markup for:
- Bolding
- Italicizing
- Basic internal links
- With aliases
- Not including template transclusion, image embedding, or anything fancy like that.
- External links
- External links without descriptions are numbered
- Descriptions are handled
So, fairly basic mockup, but already meeting all the most common usage. Here’s the working plugin in whole as I have it now. I’ve put in a request to include it in Subversion repository with the other plugins.

?>The parameter array is overkill at the moment, but hopefully this plugin will continue to expand, and that array could become much more useful.
Note: Heh, well, it looks like the formatting I needed to get the bold and italics to work got stripped out. What you need to do is to replace ”’ with \’\’\’ — it’s a Perl regex so that basically means ‘ which is what you’ll get from the escaped MySQL string.
Topic: Step two errors
Installation went smoothly thru step one.
When the step two page came up it displayed the following errors.
bbPress database error: [Incorrect table definition; There can only be one auto column and it must be defined as a key]
ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD COLUMN ID bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment
bbPress database error: [Key column 'ID' doesn't exist in table]
ALTER TABLE bb_users ADD PRIMARY KEY (ID)
1. Added index bb_users PRIMARY KEY (ID)
bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'ID' in 'where clause']
SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 1
bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'ID' in 'where clause']
SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 0
I checked via MyphpAdmin and have been unable to determine how to correct the errors, or even understand what they are.
Below the error list it appears as though step two partially worked, i.e. it displays a login link and user name and P-word.
However the login link returns (paraphrased) “it appears you have not installed bbpress” and a link to the install page.
The database used was one from a bbpress install of over one year ago.
I also made a second, but new, database with the same results as described above.
