a suggestion:

why dont you integrate both the plugins into one. and drive the icons from the admin menu for the options.

[linickx]

I might be miss reading this, but I think I stumbled across this.

[Null]

Yeah hmm was afraid of that. It’s part of a function I’ve made with a foreach etc etc

There are 3 options:

1) Request this as a new function/option in the next release of bbPress

2) Make a new function

3) I/ someone else makes the function when I/he/she has the time

I will take a look at it tonight

Hi all,

I am currently configuring BBPress for my site at http://www.babyquestions101.com’s forum, and by the looks of it it’s very promising.

I am trying to figure out if I can call a specific stylesheet for a specific page by making that call in the body page.

For instance, I know how to call multiple stylesheets through header.php. However, I would like to be able to specify a stylesheet through a page like forum.php, so that it dynamically tells header.php to call the stylesheet specific (or unique) to that page. I want this so that I can lean up my code, instead of calling everything in one css file.

Ardentfrost you are doing a great job. Your plugins are a great addition to not only this community, but all users of bbPress. I would imagine that you will do great on these plugins and other additions.

One day I plan to add options such as these to an admin interface, but for the time being, you just gotta do it by hand.

Of course, the trick to that is pulling out the information. get_profile_info_keys seems like it should pass you back an array of those values and you can just get them out of there, except I haven’t attempted to use that function and since it doesn’t ask for any information about the user you’re interested in, I don’t know how to tell you to get the information from that seemingly useful function.

Which takes us to my personal favorite method: SQL commands. You’d be searching through the table bbprefix_usermeta (mine is bbpress_usermeta). Setup a SQL call like this:

$result = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->usermeta WHERE user_id = $id");

where $id is the id of the person you’re interested in and $result is the object that the person’s data will be loaded into.

Then to access the information, you’d simply call it like this (like, for the example of where the user is from):

$result->from

You can echo that to have it printed or whatever you want done with that information. A quick glance at the database tells me that you can call this information (and what it means):

“from” = location

“occ” = occupation

“interest” = interests

“bbpress_title” = the title, custom or default

You’d have to make a subroutine in bb-memberlist.php in the my-plugins directory to get $result, then use the information in memberlist.php.

Sorry I can’t do more for you than this, but I used information from the table I had already gotten results from for ease in my current release. I could have added more stuff, but then some people might not have wanted them plus it’s easy to add or subtract from information users put in when they sign up and blah blah blah…. one day I’ll make it nice via the admin panel, but for now, good luck

[spencerp]

I’ve been running .80 alpha for a while now, and totally forgot that the forums couldn’t be deleted in the /bb-admin/ lmao.. Aww, the wonderful feeling you get from running the bbPress trunk/ (files) live.. It’s so much nicer to be able to delete forums via the bbPress control panel, rather then going into the stupid phpMyAdmin .. whee..

Whats up with the -1 years freshness on the bbpress forum (my one?)

How can I change it to like 0 hours or something like that?

[master5o1]

How do I delete one of the forums that I have made in bbPress?

I just can’t find where it is possible…I guess I could manually in the DB…but that’s risky isn’t it :S

[Null]

Hmm it should have entries, something went wrong there.

If you can, delete the bb_menu table.

Then in phpMyAdmin:

CREATE TABLE bb_menu (

set varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',

item varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',

page varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',

location varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',

order int(9) NOT NULL default '0',

PRIMARY KEY (set,item)

) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

If your current bb_menu already has these values, you wont have to recreate it. But better save then sorry…

Now fill the table:

INSERT INTO bb_menu VALUES ('active', 'Forums', 'index.php', 'front-page', 0)

INSERT INTO bb_menu VALUES ('active', 'Search', 'search.php', 'search-page', 1)

INSERT INTO bb_menu VALUES ('available', 'Statistics', 'statistics.php', 'stats-page', 0)

Now refresh the admin page. This should fix it. Not sure if I gave the right syntaces to use in phpMyAdmin, but you get the idea

ps. If you didn’t use the bb_ prefix, you should change this…

ps2. And leave out the @

ps3. This is the beta so it has some errors that are fixed in the final release (after bbPress 0.8 is out)

[Null]

Where did you install it? Did you install more plugins? Which version of bbPress are you running? Is the bb_menu table created? Did you refresh the page and still get the error? What MySQL/ php version do you use?

I need more info

[macwise]

I seem to be having a similar problem here, but when I add:

require_once('/wp-content/themes/BabyQuestions101/header.php');

in my bb config.php file, I get this error:

Warning: main(/wp-content/themes/BabyQuestions101/header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in path/to/babyquestions101.com/forum/config.php on line 3

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/wp-content/themes/BabyQuestions101/header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /path/to/babyquestions101.com/forum/config.php on line 3

(the require_once code is just below the php tag, like this:

<?php

require_once('/wp-content/themes/BabyQuestions101/header.php');

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define('BBDB_NAME', '////'); // The name of the database...

I can’t seem to make this error go away.

Also, is it true that with bbpress .75 I now DO NOT need to add the following line to my config.php file?:

define('WP_BB',true);

Any help here would be appreciated.

[Trent Adams]

That option (a) would maybe require a plugin that maybe someone would be nice enough to write for you as I don’t think it would be too hard.

Option (b) is already available:

feed://bbpress.org/forums/rss/

https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/

Trent

[linickx]

Elo,

Does anyone know of any plugins that offer (or perhaps these could be features?)….

(a) An option to automagically add post replies to my favourites ? ( I’m too lazy to click the link after I’ve posted ;op )

(b) An aggregated feed for all forums, so I can just subscribe to bbpress.org/forums/feed ( for example ) rather than going through each board ( yeah, I’m lazy here to! ).

Cheers

Not all the servers, just the one that’s in charge of bbPress.org and WordPress.org.

It’s getting hammered after the release of WP 2.1.

We’re getting new servers soon, though, so take heart!

[tominated]

the thing is, i am not using a theme, per say. i have got an index.php file and then have a folder with the worpress installation. i have just followed a tutorial, i have not got a proper theme applied to WP. the tutorial i followed it here. It is a tutorial for an awesome mac-only program called RapidWeaver

[Trent Adams]

That is a nice integration that you have there! Playing around with the theme is really time consuming and each time I make a new bbPress template (now 7 different ones), it is always a different process so I can’t even write a manual! It is all using CSS and comparing the bbPress and WP stylesheets! Always fun though! Thanks for the everyone!

Just until it gets picked up in the plugin directory, here is Visual Support Forums for bbPress.

This is an extension to the Support Forums plugin and requires it to work, it also needs to be loaded after that plugin, thus the slightly kludgy name.

The plugin will add cute little dots in front of your topics to indicate their support status, it will also remove the “[closed]” prefix and replace it with a nice little lock icon.

No configuration is necessary, just drop the files in your plugin directory.

Just FYI, I got another 408 error when trying to reply on a topic today.

Oops, should have posted this on my other thread:

Hi Mike. This has been discussed a few times here. Words are separated by spaces into tags when the post is created, but later, when adding tags, the whole line of input becomes a tag.

Greets:

I think I’ve noticed with bbpress is how it handles tags made after a post is created. We have someone over at the wp.com forums who goes back through and adds tags into the threads which is cool. The only issue is that she (I have a feeling I know who it is) puts everything into the line at once. For example she’ll add in:

blogdesk offline blogging tool

into the line of a thread that’s already in existance and then hit enter. All that goes in as one tag.

Does the software do that on purpose or is that just an oversight?

Thanks,

I’m very new to bbPress and am trying to list all members but I want to display specific information. I have installed the memberlist plugin which works brilliantly. However it displays User, Homepage and join date. I would much prefer to see user, location, occupation and interests.

I assume this would be the SQL created by the memberlist plugin but I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to SQL so any help would be great.

I would also like to rename (just for display purposes) ‘interests’ to ‘skills’ on the profile pages and wherever else it might be displayed.

[Trent Adams]

That goes in the config.php in the bbPress install.

Hmm I was working on such a plugin too. Also looked at FCKeditor, but it is kinda big and doesn’t work with Opera. I haven’t had good experience with TinyMCE, so I’ve decided to use an opensource WYSIWYG.

It aint finished and if these other editors work good, there is no need for another one.
