I would just use the full path on the server:

<?php include

('var/usr/www/yourdirectory/whatever.file'); ?>

That should work shouldn’t it?

I am trying to use a call to navigate to the root directory in order to call on an include that is located in a directory outside of the bbPress directory.

Is there anyone out there who could help me with a BB PHP command that will bounce me back to the root directory. I tried…

<?php include('../../etc/etc'); ?> with out results.

So, any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

All the Best,

Orion

On my setup, (different system, same concept),

i used a centralized mysql table which contains a mesh of all of the variables of all systems!. The reason wy i did that is, some of these usertables contain information which would change the bahaviour of the software, such as roll, last login etc. SO its not a mater of authentication and session ONLY. You also need the other stuff!!!.

i ALSO used a single portal for signup/signin. THIS SHOULD NOT BE SCARY (assuming that thinking does’nt hurt your brain). A good IDE will get everything done for you (search replace globally, find all instances of a function etc).

I reccomend http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ as an editor, and use PHP IDE as an ide ontop of eclipse. Be patiant, if you have’nt installed before, it could be a bit strang, but do take a better part of a weekend to figure out hw it works. TRUST ME, php will be your bizatch afterwards

Np dude,

Think I am going to release a tutorial when releasing the plugin, explaining how people can add their plugin(page) to the menu. THinks thats the best approach for now!

Spencer, was just hoping for a quick clarification on all this: Did you use the same MySQL database for everything? In the thread here you use terms like “MediaWiki database” and “WP database,” but I’m wondering whether that actually just means the MediaWiki tables and the WP tables, all contained in one MySQL database. Do tell.

Thanks,

Nate

I was referring to scale. Unless it’s in the core, it’s too large to expect others to make their code friendly with your code. If you have a thousand plugin authors and 10% of them do that, it just seems unreasonable that the other 900 will add 100 different things to their code to be friendly with other plugins. And if those 10% each write multiple plugins that way, it’s even MORE things the other 900 have to add to all their plugins.

It’s nothing against YOU, it’s just that you have to think about scale, and what you’re asking isn’t scalable.

I forgot to give a big thankyou to jaim3! Thanks mate! Your script just made life a million times easier for me!

Cheers!

to run a script to convert phpbb2 data to bbpress i had to add add this handler to the .htaccess folder in the root of my site:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

That got the script running, but then I was unable to access my bbpress install. I’d receive:

Cannot select DB

So I took the “AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php” out and it seems to work perfectly.

Phew!

Does that mean that bbpress doesn’t work with php5?

cheers!

kickass! yes our server was set by default to php4. The server guys said:

We have checked our server logs. The reason for the issue is not related to the memory limits for your account.

The file_put_contents() function is only available in PHP 5.

By default our servers handle any requests to .php file through the PHP 4 interpreter. By default the PHP 5 interpreter processes only files with .php5 extension.

If you want to change this in a way that .php files are processed by the PHP 5 interpreter you should put the following line in your /www/blog/.htaccess file:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php”

I’m trying to amass a list of links to sites related to bbPress (authors’ sites, info, etc) for the website. If you have a site of that nature, you can email me, or post it here to be added.

[Trent Adams]

<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?> does work for me!?

Anyways, you can also do something like following I did in bbpress-mobile plugin:

<?php $stylesheet = (bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-templates/mobile.css'); ?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $stylesheet; ?>" type="text/css" />

mdawaffe,

I’m sorry, I just saw your request today, so I was not able to give your suggestion a try, but it looks like the issue was resolved.

I have been focusing on our templates for our WordPress site the last 2 weeks, but now I am back in the mix to get our forum up and running.

Its good to be back @ bbPress.

All the Best,

Orion

Hey Community,

I am trying to link to an image in the “my-templates” directory for my bbpress template. When editing templates in WordPress I used:

<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>

Is there something similar that I can use for bbPress?

I tried:

<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?>

& it didn’t work.

Anyhow, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Orion

unreasonable request….. ow sorry

[ardentfrost]

Perhaps, but if you’re looking for ease, it’s WAY easier to get the user to add what they want than to ask all plugin creators to add variables into their plugins. The second request is probably unreasonable even… especially when bbpress REALLY takes off and there are 98120948124 plugins available.

[Staffan]

Yeah, I’ve got that. Seems like this might be something to add to the next version of that plugin.

Anyway, thanks again Atsutane for your great plugin and the fast updates!

[Null]

Well they way I want it, makes it possible to auto update the available menu links… Or it has to check every plugin page if it has a page available…

Perhaps its easier to ask this question when I release the plugin…

[Sam Bauers]

I’m working on a patch (it’s basically finished actually) that addresses bug 520. If it is not accepted in the trunk (core code) then I might develop it into a plugin instead.

[ateale]

i believe it is the latest version – i downloaded it today – .75 i think

it would be so so so nice if this works!

Cheers Trent

I’m running IE6 with service pack 2 also. Not sure why it would be blocking me. The forums RSS links here don’t work for me. When you click on the RSS link it gives the address of feed:https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/topic/571 – should it be dropping the http://?

[Trent Adams]

Hmm….maybe the function name changed? What version of bbPress? 0.75?

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Strange. I have XP service release 2 with newest version of IE6 (prior to having to upgrade to IE7) and can see my feeds and the ones of the forum.

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

What version of IE6 are you running and what URL?

Trent

[ateale]

hey guys,

I seem to get the same error as Jaxxx:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() in phpbb2bbpress.php on line 383

anyone got any ideas?

cheers

Adam

[ardentfrost]

Anything is possible.

Instead of doing it the way you’re suggesting, why not have what you’re doing interact with s010’s site options plugin and let the end user add what pages he wants to the menu system. Then you simply put the values needed into an array and foreach them out dynamically. The user can call the pages whatever they want and link to whatever page they want in the menu.

[Atsutane]

Maybe u gonna need this plugin
