This should work as described, but… firefox 2 has a major failing with SVG at the moment: it can’t be used in an img tag for content negotiation… so there would have to be some browser recognition and hocus-pocus coding to get it to work.

still, it all helps bring about an end to the use of px in css, so as you suggest, lets rock.

ergate, you’ll need to write a plugin.

[Sonika]

Yes, I did it.

I think my problem is how I try integrate blog and bbpress.

When I write in config.php (to allow bbpress use wp functions such as <?php get_header(); ?>):

---

if(file_exists("../wp-settings.php"))

{

//loads the functions and wp config

require_once "../wp-config.php";

require_once "../wp-settings.php";

}

---

buttons in bbpress — ADD NEW» and edit profile — don’t work

[ear1grey]

Thinking aloud…

if delete doesn’t actually delete, then if any companies are considering using bbPress then there may be issues with data protection legislation such as the Data Protection Act in the UK.

My understanding is that for a company to comply with the act it must be possible, if necessary, to remove all personal information, so it would be necessary for the delete function to blank out all the personal details as well as setting a deleted flag, if the user record was to remain in the DB.

I’ll pop the Google Sitemaps plugin in for a start.

mdawaffe wrote (in the readme for the bb-ratings plugin) :

If anyone can create better star images (SVG would be super cool), contact the author of this plugin.

See it at: http://boakes.org/images/star.svg

…just play with the width and height values to change it’s size.

“Read More” is handled by a filter on post_text.

Is this pluginable, or something that can be done via templates in my-templates?

The RSS feeds display topics instead of posts. This involves the bb_rss.php_pre_db hook, the $bb_db_override global, and some voodoo.

Nice to know, this helps solve some issues I have on a site design I am working on.

[kannued]

In this 74 forum, will we have private forums? And if so, any idea of timeline?

If the timeline is too distant, I will have to use a password protection directory and install a separate bbpress to handle the privacy issue. It would be nice if I didn’t have to do that (less work too), and could just incorporate privacy features into my existing bbpress forum.

“Read More” is handled by a filter on post_text.

The different topic sorting is accomplished by creating custom functions with the right SQL queries.

The RSS feeds display topics instead of posts. This involves the bb_rss.php_pre_db hook, the $bb_db_override global, and some voodoo.

All of this is part of a set of fairly involved plugins (and more) that listen to changes in the SVN repository where the plugins are stored.

As an aside, that site will soon open up to anyone wanting to host the plugins they write.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

If you set $bb->mod_rewrite = true; have you also set up Pretty Permalinks?

[ear1grey]

<p class="soapbox">

Having hacked at the default bbPress template I’m conscious that it makes extensive use of element identities for it’s formatting.

i.e. elements have an id="xyz" or a name="xyz" attribute, and in the css there is a corresponding #xyz { color: #FFF; }.

With a pluggable base model such as bbPress it makes sense to specify “how to render things like this” rather than “how to render the thing called this”.

Thus my request and suggestion is that anyone considering designing bbPress themes in the future seriously considers using CSS classes instead of IDs for formatting.

The use of classes has the same effect as id’s, but there is a key benefit: an ID can only appear once on a page, so if a page element is repeated, and it’s formatting is based on an ID, then the template breaks.

[operacional]

ok!

[Aaron]

thats exactly what I was refering to. I should have put in the link.

[ear1grey]

I assume ergate means this: https://bbpress.org/plugins/

[worrypascanada]

Continued from my previous post: oddly enough, once my bbPress tables were imported into WordPress, also all of my WordPress registered identifiers were erased from their postings. In addition, I no longer have Administrator access to my WordPress login… weird. With all facts presented, their is logic and also non logical facts.

[mozey]

what?

[sokratesd]

Hello,

I’m trying to install bbPress on an IIS 6 server.

The installation script appears to have completed successfully and can be viewed at the following URL:

http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/confocal/forums

Unfortunately, there appear to be a few problems with the installation as follows:

1) When clicking on “Your first topic” in Firefox, I receive the following error:

“Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete”

Browsing the link in IE 7 just appears to hang the browser

2) The admin home page appears to work, but n closer inspection the shortcuts “Dashboard, Users, Content and Site Management” all have incorrect paths:

“http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/forums/bb-admin/index.php&#8221;

instead of

http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/confocal/forums/bb-admin/index.php

I think my config.php is ok:

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/confocal&#8217;;

$bb->path = ‘/forums/’;

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

Does anybody have any ideas that may help me (other than move the forum to Apache that is!).

TIA

Dave

Continued from my previous post: I chose identifier Robert Richard (space) in bbPress (Administrator during Running Installer) and the same identifier existed within WordPress; end results, bbPress replace Robert Richard within WordPress that became RobertRichard (no space).

Previous to the bbPress integration attempts, I use to login WordPress with Blogue (identifier) and password; but all WordPress posts were identified as Robert Richard (space) to visitors. This said, I’m not sure if you would call Robert Richard within WordPress as an identifier.

[Sonika]

Agop,

дело не в тестовой эксплуатации, а в том, что нужно заставить bbpress пользоваться таблицей wp_users самого wordpress. Для программиста это не проблема должна быть…

[Sonika]

Agop,

я переводила форум на русский сама непосредственно в файлах, поэтому — ну какая ему, bbpress, разница? А Вы, прежде чем анонсировать локализацию, сначала бы сами ее до ума довели.

I translated a forum on Russian itself directly in files. You announced russian localization but It does not work correctly.

I use my own theme for worpdress. Any body can help me about my problem?

[Atsutane]

nolageek,

Disable your Ultimate tag warrior Im also using k2 and had to disable UTW.

If u really want to use UTW, u need to edit bbpress code to replace the existing is_tag function

I already told mdawaffe about this problem. Donno if they want to change is_tag function name to something else

[hanbit]

to tekhawk

why they cannot work with my bbpress when clicking on the icons ?

i add the sentence

[agop]

It occurs because of localization. But it is lack itself bbPress. I hope it will be corrected in the following versions.

[worrypascanada]

«What steps did you take? Did you install bbPress in another database or did you install it again in the current database that WordPress is at. »

I did install bbPress in another database or by itself… separate from WordPress database.

«If you installed in another database and then exported out the bb_ prefix tables and imported them in the database with the wp_ prefix tables, nothing should have happened to WordPress.»

Yes, it’s what my web host support that did the export/import… the exact same steps you instructed me to do or as shown above: export bbPress tables, then import bbPress to WordPress. It seems that I’ve use the same identifier or username (Robert Richard) for the bbPress as it already existed within WordPress (Robert Richard)… both database had the same Admin username or identifier.

«Either way, nothing should have happened to WordPress because bbPress uses the login information from WordPress, not vice-versa.»

I’m not sure of about «either way», but I will ask my web host help desk to re-install backups and start over again with a different identifier or username.

«When I installed bbPress, I chose the ‘key master’ as an account that isn’t the admin in WordPress. That is a pain because I have to login as 1 user to administer bbPress and logout and login as another user to administer WordPress. Of course, I figured all this out after importing my phpBB posts.»

I’m figuring out this stuff hands on and by having you as a support. It seems logical to have a different identifier; I thought about it afterwards. Regretfully, I don’t have the formal training with database and tables to have predicted this dynamic. Luckily, bbPress.org has you.

Thanks a million.

Robert Richard.

Hi

Interesting times. Made my first attempt at integrating bbPress.

Installation went fine and I can login as Admin, my bbPress entry page comes up ok growthlounge.com/forum

But the big problem is when I come to click on anything. It is the same outcome every time – a grey screen with nothing on.

This happened both when I attempted to integrate with WordPress, but also when I completely reinstalled without any attempt to integrate.

Here are some of the particulars:

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘wordpressgl’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘wordpressgl’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxx’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘mysql.growthlounge.com’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

$bb->domain = ‘http://growthlounge.com&#8217;;

$bb->path = ‘/forum/’;

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = false; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = false; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = false; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

WordPress is installed at http://growthlounge.com

Wordpress blog is setup to operate from http://growthlounge.com/blog/

However, the problem shouldn’t be WordPress integration, as I’ve made no attempt to do this the 2nd time round.

Any ideas guys? No problems during installation but a completely unfunctioning site….

Cheers

Max
