I got URLs to work by creating a .htaccess file in my root bbPress directory with the following:

.htaccess

---

Options +MultiViews

Works now, though it appears the rc-1.zip file is missing this file.

Hi everyone, bbPress 1.0 is moving beyond Alpha stage and skipping Beta to go straight into a series of Release Candidates towards a final 1.0 release. The first RC is now available for download.

We’ve made this decision to push towards 1.0 final as the scope of what was going to be included in 1.0 has been whittled back and we have had some serious real world trials through TalkPress.

Please note that if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress version 2.7.x or lower, you will need to add this line to your bb-config.php to maintain cookie compatibility:

define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);

When you upgrade WordPress to 2.8 that line will have to be removed.

I’m using Allow Images on 1.0a6(trunk from last month) and it seems to still be working. But I’m not using the bbCode plugin so people just put in <img src="http://mylink.com/image.jpg" />

I just tested now and it’s working okay.

[Ivaylo Draganov]

Maybe this is the way to set it:

$bb->uri = 'http://path.to.local';

[chrishajer]

That might be an interesting discussion, but for another forum. We’re not going to change that here. Maybe try the wp-hackers maling list?

Or, there is some pretty good info here on why NOT to do it:

http://us3.php.net/function.mysql-pconnect

[doublebuser]

Thanks, why in BB and WP no one is using _pconnection ? Would it not be better than _connection?

[chrishajer]

I don’t have the latest beta installed, but I do have an Alpha 2 installation and the database connection is here:

./bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php:123:

$this->dbh = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password, true);

[doublebuser]

Trying to locate the file that has the routine that does msql_connect or _pconnect…

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

It has not been fixed in 1.0-a6 (as of three weeks ago). It happens on WordPress.org too

(And _ck_, what’s a good plugin for that on WP? I’ve yet to find one I like, but I’m picky.)

[_ck_]

The newest 0.9 branch should have it fixed. Since 1.0 already has this fixed I assume you are using 0.9

So try upgrading to this version of 0.9

I’m attempting to install bbPress on a completely fresh site, latest WPmu and bbPress and have php5 and I’m getting the same message.

please help!

Thanks _ck_ for the info.

Just to make sure I understand correctly … ALPHA #7 will be bbPress 1.0 rc1, right.

I’m eagerly awaiting the announcement. Hope to hear it in the next few weeks

[_ck_]

It would be possible to do that via a plugin.

this might work, untested:

add_action('bb_head','close_long_topics');

function close_long_topics() {

global $topic;

if (is_topic() && $topic->topic_open===1 && $topic->topic_posts>299) {

bb_close_topic($topic->topic_id);

$topic->topic_open=0;

}

}

[aquagrrl]

Okay, I’ve managed to figure some of it out, I’m using:

<br />

<pre><code><?php $posts = get_thread( $topic->topic_id, $page ); //pulls posts fo each topic?>

<li <?php topic_class(); ?> style="border: 1px solid green;">

<?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>

<ul class="TopicStarterInfo">

<li><?php post_author_avatar(); ?></li>

<li><?php post_author_link(); ?></li>

<li><?php post_author_title(); ?>

<li><?php printf( __('Posted %s ago'), bb_get_post_time() ); ?> </li>

<li><?php echo $bb_post->forum_id;?></li>

</ul>

<?php endforeach; ?>

But its pulling all the post authors. I think I need to limit to the first one, but I’m not exactly sure how to do that.

Edit: figured it out from: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/separating-the-first-post-of-each-topic#post-21808

using:

<?php $bb_post = $posts[0]; unset($posts[0]); $del_class = post_del_class();?>

instead of the foreach.

[Ivaylo Draganov]

Hm, when I set

$unread_posts['indicate_last_login']=false;

tracking of new posts stops and all topics appear as read.

Does there have to be an actual logout of bbPress to see results?

Which is not a good option cause most users won’t log out (untill the cookie expires).

[pracus]

To anticipate the question: secret keys match each other

[w-lv]

wooooooooow thanks very much

it s working thankssssssss

[paultjuh2]

U have to install BBcode Lite..

Upload it to ur bb-plugins map, and apply it in your admin panel.

What is the problem? Do u get any error?

sorry for bad english

[w-lv]

hello

BBcode Buttons is showing but is not working !!

and BBcode Lite for bbPress is not working !!

I want bbcode

Iam sorry i do not speak English well ..

[Ivaylo Draganov]

Yes, custom theme. And I’ve set both colours to be the same since I don’t need that feature. But I hadn’t disabled it in the code… Just set it up – will see if it works better.

[_ck_]

I just realized something about the “always unread” complaints.

There are two colors indicating two different things.

There is a lighter blue indicating truly unread posts.

However if a user is new or you “mark all read” there is a fallback function that highlights posts that are only a day or two old. That was actually a feature request by someone else awhile back.

You can disable that. Change this line near the top:

$unread_posts['indicate_last_login']=false;

Also, are any of you using customized themes?

[Ben L.]

It’s not the template. Line 4 of post.php is <strong><?php post_author_link(); ?></strong><br />, so it should be showing the post author’s name, not email. There’s no functions.php, so it has to be a plugin.

What plugins do you have active on your bbPress installation?

[Hermiony]

Yay, it works!

Thanks so much!!

[Ben L.]

First, go into settings and change the url. Then, the folder bbpress to forums.

[chrishajer]

What theme are you using? Maybe it’s not coded properly.

What versions did you integrate?
