Does it transcend over to bbPress, if I have the WP-bbPress integration plugin in place… at times I remove authors from WP or modify their rank from author to just subscriber… will all these show in bbPress…
if I change an author to a subscriber in WP, will that person be still able to log into bbPress?
I am fleshing out my plugin Graphic-display-ranks and I’m looking for the right hook to use to do the following:
I want to find out if a topic author is the Key Master or a moderator. Here is what I have so far —
function get_special_rank () {
global $special_rank, $use_special_rank, $bbdb;
if ($use_special_rank==1)
{$title_for_rank=<strong>I NEED THIS HOOK</strong>( get_post_author_id() );
switch ($title_for_rank) {
case "keymaster" :
$special_rank=1;
break;
case "moderator" :
$special_rank=2;
break;
default :
$special_rank=0;
}
}
else
{
$special_rank = 0;
}
return $special_rank;
}
Can anyone point me in the right directon?
I want to place everything within a DIV so that I can center it and then give it a background. If you look at stylebuffet.com/forums, you’ll see I have kind of got it, but I want the white to go all the way uo nd down like it does here on the BBpress forums. Can anyone help?
Like this guy did here where there is the grey background and then everything else is in white

If I can figure this out, I know i can do something really great and might be able to come up with some very neat themes for this community.
Hello, I would like the function to send newsletter by email to members in my bbpress forum! I know the emails is saved in the database (or?) so this would not be any problems to integrate or make an plugin, i think. The only problem is that I’m not the man for this job 
Greets:
Just a quick silly question about my own bbpress install. I don’t see an answer by searching so…
I can’t get the bb-cache to activate. I’ve made the bb-cache subdirectory writable but nothing’s showing up in there.
Thanks,

BBPress seems to use the kind of cookie that resides on the user’s machine unless they actively log out.
Can anyone help me modify/ add custom code (or point me to a useful plug-in 
) so that its lifetime is limited to the session only?
Also, should I be using something like session_cache_limiter(‘nocache’) for further privacy, or is this already taken care of?
I have recently installed the excellent Private Forums plug-in as an alternative to using the more cumbersome HTTP authentication method, which has prompted me to think about this potential security issue. Private Forums is only truly secure if the user remembers to log out.
I just wish they’d include the Forum Categories enhancement into .80 though lol. It sure Would Be NICE!!! LoL 
/It IS working just great by the way, I didn’t see any flaws with it..

hey,
i’m having a problem with integrating bbpress into my wordpress template. when you click on ‘add new’ on any forum page the layout looks fine, but when you click on ‘add new’ on the start page, then it messes up the layout. seems there is a stray closing div somewhere, which is only needed sometimes.
have a look here to see what i mean.
actually, if you scroll down i think you can see the same thing happening with the footer here
cheers, b
It is literally in the post right before you if I am reading this post correctly!

I have an integrated site with WP2.1 and bbPress .75. The server and production site are Apple Macs running os X. No Windows here, so this is my problem. Thus, I can not see the IE errors.
Will someone please post the CSS changes for Windows Internet Explorer? So the basic bbPress displays correctly in IE.
Leaving us already? I don’t think there is even an exporter for bbPress yet. If you can find a way to import into phpBB with RSS, you can just use the feeds from bbPress.
Trent
Is there a way to export the db entries from bbpress to phpbb2?
wow only 6 tickets left, and they aren’t too complexed.. perhaps a fast launch this week after all??
Crossing fingers
I was having the same issue at Forums4Bauer I am using a modified version of the bbPress forum template. One thing I did was widen the whole thing, but to get rid of the hidden long names I made the following changes to the style.css file in my-templates:
#thread {
background: #eee;
list-style: none;
margin: 0 0 0 110px;
padding: 0;
}
#thread li {
padding: 1.5em 1.0em;
line-height: 1.5em;
height:100%;
}
#thread li ol, #thread li ul {
margin-left: 60px;
height:100%;
}
.threadauthor {
margin-left: -140px;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
I also added:
.threadpost {min-height:120px;}
Unfortunately that doesn’t work in IE. I’m looking for a way around a problem I’m having where short replies overlap. That’s not typically a problem, but I’m using my Graphic Display Ranks plugin, and images that are taller than some of the replies.
Hope this helps.
I wish I were a mod so I could nuke the spammers!
Lmao! I know what you mean.. Trent just isn’t always here to do it sigh.

No problem zapata. To get rid of the register link, you need to download login-form.php from /bb-templates/ and then edit it as follows:
Change this part from:
<p><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?>:</p>
to get rid of the register, you could just comment out this line or change the wording:
<! -- <p><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?>:</p> -->
Once you have edited that file, upload it to a new folder (if it doesn’t exist already in root) /my-templates/ as bbPress will use that file first and if it doesn’t exist, go back to the one in /bb-templates/
As for the registering with WordPress, I was only referring to the abilitity to turn on or off registration in WP admin. If you turn it off, then you can add the members you want through the admin.
That should get you going!

Trent,
Today is my bbPress Independence day. Everything seems to be working just so smoothly. Removed register.php and Voila…
two questions:
(1) What file do I have to look in to remove the “Register” link on top of the page
(2)When you mention “People can still register using WordPress” do you mean the authors or me (admin) has to do anything “beyond” what I do to register authors in the admin section of WordPress
Since you are integrated with WP (I would assume), removing register.php from bbPress root directory would get rid of that particular issue. People can still register using WordPress or just added as members by you in the WP admin. That would be the easiest way.
Trent
That’s for bbpress .74 and up

That will work.
