I’ve installed my BBpress forum and it all seems to be working great with the exception of the RSS links which just go to a 404 page. I think this forum was doing the same thing last time I tried – does anyone have a fix?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Maybe using a array? Like

$menu['FAQ'] = 'faq.php';

Passing this through a filter so everybody can add his links via filter in his plugin…

I tested it out and it sent me an email when I posted a new topic. That works for now. But, like we said, an “add forum to favorites” plugin is needed. For anyone reading this, what we are talking about is strictly for the plugin called notification_all.php which can be foun here:

Hi,

I am in the proces of making a nice menu plugin. It has al the features like drag & drop etc etc. This works great. Now I want pluginbuilders, who have made a plugin and use a new page like the memberlist plugin, to be able to easy add their page to the menu.

I would like to do something like this (dont mind the wrong syntaces, its for some easy explaining):

In my menu.php plugin page I’ve added something like:

function get_menu_pages ()

select $menu_titel, $menu_page from bb_menu where blablabla

I need 2 variables now: $menu_titel and $menu_page

A new plugin adds in its plugin page these variables:

Excample: memberlist plugin

$menu_titel = Memberlist

$menu_page = memberlist.php

This works, no problem so far, but what happens if in another plugin page is added:

Excample: FAQ plugin

$menu_titel = FAQ

$menu_page = faq.php

How will function get_menu_pages () react? Will it only get the first variable from the memberlist plugin, or will it get both, or will it simply crash. Is this even possible at all?

The reason I want to do it this way, is that plugin builders can easily add their page to my menu plugin by simply filling in the $menu_titel and $menu_page variables on their own plugin page.

Hope this makes any sence and if this doesn’t work, what solutions are there for this?

Any news on the roles-based forum permissions. It is the only feature holding me back now … I have been exploring all sorts of options involving more advanced forums (smf, phpbb etc …) but those involve crappy bridges, none of which work well or look nice. I love bbpress’ simplicity … so, any way to restrict certain forums to certain users? I don’t even need it to be roles-based. I’m OK just selecting users individually to have access to a specific forum.

[davidbessler]

If I’m not mistaken Trent, I think that plugin notifies the ADMINISTRATOR of ANY post to ANY topic. Since it does not add any visible subscription option to any forums, I can only assume that’s what it does. The only other possibility is that it emails EVERYONE when ANYONE posts ANYTHING ANYWHERE on bbpress, which would be a disaster. Can anyone verify what exactly notify_all does? I installed it, but could not see a difference.

I think the following will do what you are hoping. It is referenced 2 or 3 times in this thread.

Alright. I’ve done some investigations and I think I know why I get a blank space: when a new user registers through bbPress it seems like he’s not given any “display name”.

[spencerp]

For the UTW problem, do what this guy said here once, see if that helps. Good luck!

$bb->path = '/bbpress/';

I am also assuming that you don’t want to integrate the logins with WP then as you don’t have your wordpress information for integration.

Your forum is at http://ward3brighton.ca/bbpress/ not http://ward3brighton.ca/forums/ . It’s unstyled since the path is wrong. It seems to me that you changed the config.php to put the forum in a directory called forums but left the folder name as bbpress when you unzipped it.

Can you check that and rename the bbpress folder to forums?

Thanks, I was just about to give up.

I’m able to successfully install the bbpress. I’m installing it in a subdirectory of my PUBLIC_HTML

directory. So I have:

public_html/bbpress

public_html/wp-content

public_html/wp-admin

etc.

I run domain.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

Everything seems okay. Then I log in at domain.com/forums and bam!… nothing but Error 404 – Not Found.

I find it strange after I login I’m directed right to my WordPress template with the 404 error. Initially I tried integrating with WordPress, but now I’m trying to get this running very simply: no mod_rewrite, no integration, disabled any plugins that might be interfering (home page control), etc.

I uninstalled (dropped all bb_ tables) and reinstalled several times but same result.

Any advice?

[Atsutane]

Correct me if i wrong .. by default when a user is regis. WP will set the “display name” equal to “username”. I try the code already and i dont get a blank name Anyway maybe i will change the code to do a double check.

Does any one has a template test page already up? or is there a plugin, so you choose a template from a ddlb and the page shows the forum in the chosen template…

[pschmitz]

I only had bbpress integration installed on word press. disabling it. upgrading to .75, turning off my-templates, have not solved the issue.

[ear1grey]

Any plugins installed?

No, we haven’t. Chrishajer’s (Chris) been graciously helping me off the forum since I’m working with a private forum. He’s spent quite a bit of time on this and hasn’t found a solution. He had some great ideas, they just didn’t work. My next step is to contact my host and talk with them. They host WordPress so perhaps they know something indepth about bbPress. If I find a solution, I’ll let you know.

I do want to thank Chris for all the time and effort he’s put into this for me. Thank you, Chris.

[Trent Adams]

It is simple enough to change back if you want to. Just don’t want a bunch of ‘complete’ bbPress clones out there.

[Staffan]

Great. Thank you! There’s only one little problem: if the user haven’t entered a nickname no name at all is shown. I guess it should be written so that if the user has a nick name – show nick name; if the user dosen’t – show username.

[Atsutane]

I update the plugin already .. Now it gonna show “display name” instead of “username” like before. Tell me how it going

Like it, only put the original bbPress logo in it instead of yours: https://bbpress.org/bbpress.png

[yooakim]

This theme is a lot nicer that the old default theme.

It works but there are a few issues.

When i click on “View your profile” the menu choices goes off way out to the right…

Great work!

This should fix it. Thanks!

Hi, I see a couple things.

You’ve made the div #header 800px wide, but the div #main below it is only 760px wide – they need to be the same if you want the header image as wide as the div below it. Also, the left and right margins should be auto to match the div below (handles screen resolutions down to 800×600 that way, and is centered on anything bigger.)

So, this in your div #header in the style.css:

margin: 0px auto;

width: 760px;

That makes the header graphic spots.gif as wide as the ‘table’ below it. If you want it to be as wide as the page, that’s something different altogether.

Since you removed the bbPress circle logo, you might also want to move the #header h1 over to the right a little bit:

right: 10px; instead of the 59px there now.

Hope that helps.
