Awww Jeeeaaaah….

A fixed list of avatars would be easy to do, you just upload them yourself into a folder you decide and then have php do a glob of the files in that directory and present them to the member as a form with a radio select. Whatever they chose gets written by name to the user metadata.

Then you just need simple code in the display post template to show their chosen avatar.

It would be much safer and faster than other avatar methods.

I started with the ‘default’ buddypress theme, that comes with the package, as i may think it is more generic and easier to study on how things are done

And thats why i choose the ‘blue’ things ..

But, first thing first .. Just altering and tweaking the buddypress them a lot right now, and the next step whould be the bbpress theme, so it matches

[zeronix]

Thats great to hear.

I also love the original theme but selected the Facebuddy because it looks more professional.

Maybe you try it out and use it too.

Anyways, if you´d convert one of these themes you´d be my god

[bruinfelix]

Currently i’am working on a own BuddyPress theme, based on the original theme provided by the BuddyPress developers. And yes, it will include a matching bbPress theme

I’ve hardcoded it in the javascript.

edit it and change

function edOver(element) {element.style.color="#000080"; element.style.backgroundColor="#ddd";}

function edOut(element)   {element.style.color="#000000"; element.style.backgroundColor="buttonface";}

to whatever color you’d like

Merlin that code looks vaguely familiar

…it does keep the paging intact but counts for all the forums (fora?), even the excluded one(s).

To get round this requires amending the function bb_latest_topics_pages() in functions.bb-template.php.

$bb_latest_topics_count = $bbdb->get_var('SELECT COUNT('topic_id') FROM '' . $bbdb->topics . '' WHERE 'topic_open' = 1 AND 'topic_status' = 0 AND 'topic_sticky' != 2 AND 'forum_id' != 3;');

//  AND 'forum_id' != 3 - filters out forum 3 on front page paging count.

Thanks for the reply _ck_.

I’m actually using it on a larger site than recommended and we have pretty strict forum policies so ban people for 24 hours when they slip up using the Ban-Plus plugin. The problem is people just set up another account and instantly start posting again.

We recently had a spammer, a human one who would deliver actual advice to a discussion, but then follow it with links to escort agencies and the like. We banned him but he just signed up again – 5 times in a row!

The 24 hours approval rate would solve all these problems. Just need to find some time!

I’m trying to customize bbcode buttons on one of my sites (I’ll provide the link upon request for fear of offending anyone).

My questions…

I set the text color to grey and would like it to hover black. I’m not sure how to do this without a style sheet.

Also, when I click one of the buttons – this / appears beside it. How can I make that not happen?

Thanks,

The plugin is really great and I look forward to using it more.

Hi!

I normally use VBulleting forum, several of my sites runs it but I algo use wordpress in some sites and for a new one I was looking for something in the middle betweeen forum and blog and I thing I got it with bbpress.

I know it isnt like WordPress but I like it.

To the point, in VBulletin I got a automatic thread tagger, it will add tags automatically to the posts, it works just fine, you can exclude words like TO, FOR, THE, etc.

I guess something like that is missing here. I dont know how to code it.

Tnx!

[simpleanecdote]

Still got them.

I’m not a php newbie.

Not an expert, but in a comfortable place in the middle

I think I’ve pretty much got over all the bugs in the system.

If anyone wants my style of integration – this is what I did:

Installed bbPress in root/forums/

in header.php of forum template put the following before everything else:

<?php include('../lib/includes/header.php');//Website template ?>

in header.php of your own website:

$forumexplode = explode('/', $_SERVER);

if($forumexplode == "forums")

{

bb_feed_head();

?>

#You can also put in here you own, relative path style sheets from the main website.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?>" type="text/css" />

<?php if('rtl' == bb_get_option('text_direction')) : ?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri( 'rtl' ); ?>" type="text/css" />

<?php endif;

bb_head();

}

else

{

?>

Anything you want to load from normal relative path (if not forums)

<?php

}

?>

</head>

<body id="<?php ($forumexplode == "forums" ? bb_location() : ""); ?>">

in footer.php of forum template put the following after everything else:

<?php include('../lib/includes/footer.php');//Website template ?>

I also prefixed all the forum template’s XHTML id tags with forum_ so they won’t mess with my website’s structure.

After you’ve done all that, you’re free to style your forum via the css file in the templates directory like you would normally, as well as the structure via the other files.

And your website, via your own stylesheets.

Or you can load everything from either stylesheet as long as you remember to load them from their relative path in the header.

Hope this helps someone ;P

Peace everyone, hope bbPress will release a version soon which will be easier to integrate.

Because my system doesn’t really allow for easy user authentication integration on the rest of the website. Can be circumvented via regular user auth integration but that’s more work.

SMF (Simple Machines Forum) has ssi.php file which you just load into any page and everything is integrated right there and then. Maybe in future versions?

Me.

No luck, still redirects with the ?123412341234 added… Deleting cookies hasn’t helped either.. Tried it about 6 times now

[_ck_]

First see if it’s just your browser remembering the old redirect by adding something like ?123 on your /bb-admin/ url

ie. http://example.com/forums/bb-admin/?123

also try deleting the cookies again for your site

[johanh]

@mypop It’s interesting to note in the way you write that you share my frustration and out of your frustration grew the energy to tell me what I need to do. I did that and this is the first time that I got the drop down menu as per the instructions https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt

3. On Step 3 enter anything you like for your site name and first forum name. Select “Admin” from the

35 dropdown to use as your keymaster user.

But then I got this *minor* error:

DB Error in BB_Install::process_form_finalise_installation: Table ‘johanhor_johanmu.wp_options’ doesn’t exist

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘auth_salt’ LIMIT 1

DB Error in BB_Install::process_form_finalise_installation: Table ‘johanhor_johanmu.wp_options’ doesn’t exist

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘secure_auth_salt’ LIMIT 1

DB Error in BB_Install::process_form_finalise_installation: Table ‘johanhor_johanmu.wp_options’ doesn’t exist

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘logged_in_salt’ LIMIT 1

This may be a minor error by the installation program but it seems Greek to me.

Hope you can help.

[zeronix]

I tried to include my Header.php content (some codes of it) to my bbpress header.php but always got trouble with the scripts.

It seems the codes are different and wont work together.

Maybe someone can help us because i am a beginner too.

Maybe there´s a way to create a new Page in WP and include bbPress there?

I hope so.

[zeronix]

Is there a wayy to get this Tool you talked about in your Tutorial?

I´d also love to integrate my WP theme to my forum but the link you posted is down

PS:

I run WPmu and the latest bbPress release

I hope this tool will work with it (if you could send me).

Best regards, Sebastian

Extrapolating from this may help: https://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password#Through_phpMyAdmin

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

It’s in here bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php (line 680):

function forum_description( $args = null ) {

if ( is_numeric($args) )

$args = array( 'id' => $args );

elseif ( $args && is_string($args) && false === strpos($args, '=') )

$args = array( 'before' => $args );

$defaults = array( 'id' => 0, 'before' => ' – ', 'after' => '' );

$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );



if ( $desc = apply_filters( 'forum_description', get_forum_description( $args['id'] ), $args['id'], $args ) )

echo $args['before'] . $desc . $args['after'];

}

So you could probably whip up some function to override it.

You both have one dash, most likely, but different fonts

[Tom Lynch]

I know chrishajer but the bbvideo plugin is crap because people like and are used to putting in the embed code, my users are tech savie just not used to the restrictiveness, can I disable filtering for all attributes of the embed, object, img, and param tags?

[Tom Lynch]

Can we see your front-page.php code as its possibly part of the html as mine uses a different template and it only has one dash.

[Tecca]

Hey,

I’m trying to figure out how I can remove those dashes that separate the ‘Forum Name’ and its ‘Description.’

Here’s an image to show what I’m trying to say: http://teccahigh.com/images/uploads/forum22.png

Where it says “News, Updates, and Announcements —” I’d like to get rid of that dash in there. I have tried going into front-page.php and changing this:

<?php forum_description();

To this:

<?php forum_description(' ');

Which actually did work, but it removed a different dash (there used to be two dashes which looked like: — –

It removed the small one, but now I can’t figure out how to remove the other one.

[agitainment]

Thanks, _ck_. I appreciate the feedback.

By the way, I’m running several of your plugins, including Human Test, bbCode, Subscribe to Topic and more.

For anyone wanting to extend your bbPress site, I suggest looking first at _ck_’s plugins under the Extend tab. Really great stuff.
