You’re totally right! I was looking all over the admin to find out how to make a post sticky, but it’s right there at the bottom of the actual post. I was used to an older version of bbPress (only used it briefly). Thanks so much for the help.

[chrishajer]

I did not see this problem until today when I looked at my site in IE7. The H1 was HUGE. I added this to the BBPRESS/bb-templates/style.css around line 37 (just after the blockquote definition):

h1 {

font-size: 2.0em;

}

h2 {

font-size: 1.5em;

}

Now the headings are approximately the same size in IE and FF, and retain the styling of the rest of the stylesheet (for #header h1 and #front-page #main h2).

[Ryan Fitzer]

Oh yeah, BTW, I meant the posts area. Sorry, new to bbPress.

[spencerp]

Ryan, I can’t really remember if I had this happen before or not, but.. taking a guess here.. does this sound like something similar to what you’re having?

Perhaps one for the FAQ: How does bbPortal differ from bbPress? (i.e. what does it add, who might be interested?)

[Null]

Hi,

With a lot of help from the people of this forum, I’d manage to create a portal page (such of) voor bbPress, called bbPortal.

You can download it here:

http://www.bbportal.org

Have fun with it!

[jaxxx]

still no joy I’m afraid. this time it runs for a lot longer and I don’t get any errors, but it doesn’t update any of the tables. i’ll try and take another look at the weekend.

This isn’t a plugin, it’s a core file edit, if I’m not mistaken…

If so it’s probably best to warn people of this, because any changes made to core files are undone with future bbPress updates if the file is overwritten.

I have extra profile fields implemented on my local server, I just need to upload it to my main site. I’ll post it later.

[AphelionZ]

Do you have pretty permalinks? that seems to really, really help the most out of all the SEO tricks that are already most taken care of for you (graciously) by the bbpress coders

oh yeah here is the web address http://kidzmoto.hobby-site.com/forums/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

[aquaibm]

ok,thx.

[Null]

Hahaha was too late to change it into: messed up

On topic:

This happens with a clean bbPress install, so what and where in the CSS do I have to change it, so all browsers produce the same (correct) font size?

[Null]

Hi,

Strange thing. H1 tags are really f!@ked up. In every browser the size is different.

In IE: Ridiculous large font

in FF: Somewhat normal size

in Opera: Smaller than FF

See this image (watch the “Latest Discussions” text):

http://www.sourceskins.com/bbpressfonts.JPG

How and can we fix this problem? All other fonts are displayed ok, only the <h1> is effected!

[ear1grey]

<li<?php

if ( is_front())

{

echo " id="current">";

?>

BTW the list item would be better described as being something like class="current" then add an appropriate .current {} to your css.

It sounds like what you need is to overload the bb_get_location function. This is easy to do in bbpress. You need to make a set of functions like this:

is_home() {

if( 'home-page' == get_bb_location() )

return true;

else

return false;

}

get_home_location() {

if ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == 'home.php' )

return 'home-page';

}

apply_filter( 'get_bb_location', 'get_home_location' );

That’s untested, but I think that should work. Basically what you want to do is add in your locational test when bb_location is called. Then you can just call is_home() and it’ll do what you want. Of course, if you don’t want any other part of the forum to care if it’s on the home or not, you can take out all that stuff at the end that integrates it with get_bb_location, and just do this:

is_home() {

if( 'home-page' == get_home_location() )

return true;

else

return false;

}

get_home_location() {

if ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == 'home.php' )

return 'home-page';

}

Whichever you want to do. The second is easier, the first is more versatile.

What does it matter that what bbpress sees at “front-page” isn’t the actual front page of your site? It’s just a moniker used throughout the program, it doesn’t have to mean anything to you.

Well wrong, I am working on a menu for the forum and it defeniatily is important that the call back is accurate.

Some excample code menu:

<li<?php

if ( is_front())

{

echo " id="current">";

?>

<a href="<?php option('uri'); ?>">Forums</a>

<?php

}

?></li>

Here you can see is_front and we also have is_forum so I need to add is_home aswell in order to make the menu work

Well I understand your explaination of how things work. I started home.php from index.php and edited/deleted things i didn’t need to make my own startpage. I also wanted to keep the normal index file, thats why I renamed them. Unfortunally the addons i did in the template functions don’t work unless i keep it like this:

case 'home.php' :

return 'front-page';

break;

And then the id won’t work too, cause is_front() is called (and not is_home) so it gets the front-page id.

Well going to release my project very soon (as soon as I found a solution for my DIV problem), perhaps you can help me better then.

Really appreciate the time helping me out!!

What does it matter that what bbpress sees at “front-page” isn’t the actual front page of your site? It’s just a moniker used throughout the program, it doesn’t have to mean anything to you.

Not a lot needs to change when adding a new page. Make a file in your forums root directory call it whatever, like null.php. set it up like this:

<?php

require_once('./bb-load.php');

***[if you need any code, put it here]***

if ( file_exists(BBPATH . 'my-templates/nullsfile.php') ) {

require( BBPATH . 'my-templates/nullsfile.php' );

} else {

echo "File does not exist in my-templates folder";

}

?>

Then make a file in your my-templates folder called nullsfile.php and make it look like an html file, but be sure to set it up like this:

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

***[put all your html code here with calls to php functions]***

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

At that point, you have a page integrated into bbpress. What you do in those two files is up to you. To access the file, you just go to forumsroot/null.php (if you have pretty links turned on, you don’t need the .php part). If you need called functions, standard is to put them into a file in the my-plugins folder.

In some of the plugins I’ve made, my main file does stuff like detects if something is set in the address line by checking the $_GET[] variable, or it pulls information needed by the required my-templates file by running a database query…

That all make sense?

[Null]

Don’t expect this as long as BBpress has no template thingy like WP has. At least I think…

[Platzhirsch]

Where can I find any kind of templates for bbpress for download?

Whether they are individual files or whole packages…

Thanks in advcance.

[Matt Brett]

I’ve got a new installation of bbPress which is integrated into a mammoth WordPress site and I’m quite pleased with the outcome. The only real roadblock I’ve hit cropped up while testing.

If a user doesn’t close an HTML tag in their post, the formatting is carried through to the rest of the site (yikes!). As you can imagine, things can get ugly real quick when this happens. And it will happen, without a doubt.

Anyone aware of a fix for this? Did some searching and browsing but didn’t find any mention of this.

[pilkster]

Hey Trent ~ here’s me thinking that all my users being marked as bozos might be causeing the problems I am having with the integration. Even the keymaster is marked as a bozo. Guess that isn’t the problem though.

[pilkster]

Hi again Trent

I’ve had another go. Here are the steps I have taken:

Created a new account on my server (taxdeduct.net)

Installed WP 2.0.5 via fantastico

Downloaded BB from this site

Created database and user through cpanel. Added user to database with all privileges >> sidenote: https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/ does not mention setting up the database. A bit confusing.

Copied config-sample.php to config.php, edited with my info

Uploaded to host

Ran bb-admin/install.php

Downloaded https://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/438/bbpress-integration.php – uploaded to WP plugins dir, activated and configured with tables prefix.

Created new user on bbpress… couldn’t log in to WP.

Created new user on WP… couldn’t log in to bbpress.

My head hurts from pulling at my hair

Another question: do you have to allow new user registrations on your blog for the plugin to work?

[lzooml]

I wanna emplace the my forum to my blog on a new page.

is a plug-in exist for this procedure

[hanbit]

please vist http://www.bbpress.com.cn

[aquaibm]

If it does, that would be suffice for me.
