(profile.php in theme folder)

My users were asking for the ability to jump to the last post on the ‘User Activity’ area within their profile page. So I amended the page to use tables like the favorites listings do with two columns >

TOPIC > DETAILS

topic name > You replied 2 weeks ago. No replies since.

Wait … I remember that issue. Or something like it… It was in 1.0alpha3 or 4 I think, around the time that quotes in links broke things.

[chrishajer]

What version bbPress are you using? Is it integrated with WordPress, and if so, what version? Are you using a language file other than English?

[maharzan]

Example, instead of this,

if($slideshow == "On" && $slideshow_status == "Static")

it renders this…

if($slideshow == "On" && $slideshow_status == "Static")

[maharzan]

Okay, have been searching google and this forum for long time and find there is no occurrences of it.. not even mention of it. So, wanted to ask everyone out here if they know what is happening..

I am using double quotes in the code and trying to paste the code within backticks and while everything looks okay few html characters are rendering their ASCII code or something (html escape characters ??)

For example,

double quotes ( ” ) are rendered as &q uot;

ampersands ( & ) are rendered as &a mp;

ignore the spaces. I have disabled all the plugins, switched themes and looked over everything, but I still can’t figure out what is causing this. I saw several forums including bbpressshowcase which suffers from same problem. I don’t see that problem here in this forum.

Can anyone shed some light for me?

Thanks for all your help.

[Thad Allender]

When I post code samples in my bbPress install, all quote marks show up like this:

"

This includes when I use backticks and/or buttons. Neither work.

For instance, when I post this code:

<div class="box">This is a box</div>

It becomes:

<div class=&quot;box&quot;>This is a box</div>

I am using the beta version of bbPress with WordPress integration. I have deactivate all plugins and switched themes, so I know it is a problem with my bbPress code.

Thoughts?

[code] buttons. Neither work.

I’ve never seen or even heard of a forum with reply by email.

In theory this could be done via a unique key sent with every message to the reader.

But writing code to download and process email replies would be tricky.

Since bbPress 1.0 will have trackbacks for topics, this might open another avenue.

This kinda defeats the whole idea of a forum though, allowing people to stay away from the site entirely.

That’s a good hack Ann but keep in mind insert_id isn’t always reliable.

[Ivaylo Draganov]

Hello,

It is a pure CSS problem and very easy to fix – just add widths to the columns. And the problem is mostly in the column which holds the titles. So, try something like this:

td.text { width: 63%; padding-left: 2%; }

td.info { width: 20%; }

td.view { width: 15%; }

All the widths add up to 100%. You can also skip the last rule (for .view) as it will automatically fill the remaining space (in most browsers I believe).

and drop the first column altogether ( .watcher ) if you are using it only for spacing.

[anandsrinivasan]

Is there a ‘for dummies’ version of the same. I am programming-handicapped and can understand nothing of what is been discussed here, though I too want to achieve the same thing

Thanks

Yes you still need to fill the bbPress/WP user table (many plugins also refer to it directly).

All you are replacing is authentication.

You can write a plugin to auto-fill the user table when a newly authenticated user first tries to see a bbPress page. Actually it could go into the authentication code directly.

if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

^That line of code causes a lot of stress on my bluehost site. With that code active, I get “This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota” all the time, deeming my site unusable.

Is there another way to have the bb-config find the wp-blog-header? Everytime the server has to search for it, it takes fooooorever, which also slows down the rest of the site, then I get suspended by bluehost and can’t access anything.

It’s weird though, because this code will slow up the rest of the site that isn’t even using the bb-config. I’ll load up mydomain.com and it’ll go soooo slowly while that code is active – this, even though my bbpress config is way over there at mydomain.com/forums. If I comment that code out, everything is fast and zippy.

WP 2.7

Hello

I noticed that Bulgarian translation is quite out of date so with a friend we made an update. It is available here:

bbPress 0.9 in Bulgarian

On Linux, well, if you have that I don’t need to tell you what you have.

so true!

View counts in the forum section require part of “my-views” plugin to be installed (my-views-most-least-views.php) or just make this a mini-plugin:

add_filter('get_forums','forums_views_append');

function forums_views_append($forums) {

if (is_front() || is_forum()) {

global $bbdb, $forums_views; $sum_meta_value="SUM(meta_value)";

if (!isset($forums_views)) {

$forums_views = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT DISTINCT forum_id, $sum_meta_value FROM $bbdb->topicmeta LEFT JOIN $bbdb->topics ON $bbdb->topicmeta.topic_id = $bbdb->topics.topic_id  WHERE $bbdb->topics.topic_status=0 AND $bbdb->topicmeta.meta_key='views'  GROUP BY $bbdb->topics.forum_id");

} foreach ($forums_views as $forum_views) {

if ($forum_views->forum_id) {$forums[$forum_views->forum_id]->views=$forum_views->$sum_meta_value;}

}

}

return $forums;

}

I soved the problem of logn request on paginated topics using the EWp plugin mentioned here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101/page/5#post-24571

I can’t understand why with normal integration the whole system didn’t work… but I have no time to investigate for a non payed task The customer have the same problem of quote adn double-quote double escaping thamentioned in the same link…

This topic can be considered closed.

[patrick10128]

Unbelievable. I was able to figure out what the problem was. WP-Super-Cache plugin was screwing everything up. All I did was add /forum/ to the URI strings to be ignored and it worked fine.

Now it’s time to fix up the theme.

Thanks for all the responses

[Billy Wilcosky]

I hate it when something so easy is giving me problems. I have a link to my search page… mysite.com/myforum/search.php… like that. And it works fine, except the font color on the search form itself is a gray or reddish color and it doesn’t go with my dark blue layout… I need the font to be white. With CSS I’ve got the font set to white everywhere else, even the search results are white, but the form itself is not so you can barely read it.

I’ve tried editing the color with CSS, regular html, I’ve been in my search.php in my forum root and my search.php in my template, and I’ve been in my search-form.php file, and no matter what I do… I can only get the font to change in firefox… for some reason in ie6, which should be illegal to use, the font it not white.

I simply added <font color=”white”></font> to the form, and again, it works in firefox, but when I test it with ie6 it doesn’t work. Why?

I even tried adding a new div… I added <div id=”searchcolor”>search form code here</div> then in my CSS file I have #searchcolor {color:white;}, but even that doesn’t work. Nothing seems to change the form font color in ie6.

This is frustrating because it’s something SO simple! Font color!

[patrick10128]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if I could get some help on an issue I am having. I am trying to integrate WP functions into bbPress. I put in the following code in my bb-config.php, and wp-blog-header.php is being accessed fine.

<?php require_once('/home/noreason/public_html/youthbloggers.net/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>

Now, for some reason I get a slew of strange characters when accessing my bbPress installation (the frontpage). I can’t even access /bb-admin. I can’t figure out what the problem is, I think it may have something to do with my server settings/configuration because the exact code works fine on my local machine running WAMP Server. Does anyone have any idea?

You can see what’s going on at http://youthbloggers.net/forum/

[superann]

Hmm, yeah someone should definitely try to get the current repository transferred to another person. I’m pretty new to bbPress so someone else would be a way better candidate than me for rewriting this plugin.

Btw, what did detective’s mod add? I’m not even sure what I’m using…

Anyway while I was replacing pm_new_message with ck’s mod I decided to hack email notification in there at the end (formatting stolen shamelessly from the existing notification plugin):

$to = bb_get_user_email($id_receiver);

$pm_link = bb_get_option('uri') . 'message.php?id=' . $bbdb->insert_id;

$message = __("You have a new private message: %1$s nFrom: %2$s nn%3$s ");

mail( $to, bb_get_option('name') . ':' . __('Private Message'),

sprintf( $message, $pmtitle, get_user_name($id_sender), $pm_link ),

'From: ' . bb_get_option('admin_email')

);

[chrishajer]

You just type in a complete image tag, the full html, and it should work. Like this:

<img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif" />

The plugin was sort of particular about the case of the file extensions; JPG did not work (IIRC) but jpg did. Also, some image hosting services that show images but don’t have an image extension on the URI won’t work with the plugin. The plugin looks for filenames ending in common image formats and allows those.

Also, the image needs to already be on the Internet already, hosted somewhere. If that’s not possible for your users, then you probably want the bbPress Attachments plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/

[brianskiba]

I am trying to figure out how to allow people to embed images and flash code in our forums.

I came across the allow-images.php plug-in, and installed it in “bb-plugins” and “my-plugins” under the forum directory.

I then went to admin and activated the plug-in.

What I can’t figure out is how to get it to work. I can’t figure out how one inserts an image still, or if what I installed and activated actually made a difference.

Once I get this resolved, I will move on to allowing embedded flash objects.

thank for helping…

[wendel-brume]

LOL, my thoughts exactly! Now I’m in contact with an outfit in India to see what it would take to code the site in Joomla!

What a rabbit hole this stuff can be!

[chrishajer]

Earlier I tagged this a BBMU, which is sort what this was sounding like, bbPress Multi User (like WPMU.) That way, you have one installation to update, but multiple blogs (or in this case, forums.)

I don’t think that is currently possible. There was some work involved to create WPMU, although it reuses a great bit of WordPress code.

So, I think you are stuck using multiple installations of bbPress, or just using the built in Forums that exist in bbPress. If you use the built in forums that exist, then you don’t have to worry about logins working in all forums. The logins will work in all forums because it’s all just one forum.

But, to have multiple bbPress installations, but just one user database, you might want to investigate the advanced database options upon installation, in step two where they talk about user integration.

Custom user tables

Only set these options if your integrated user tables do not fit the usual mould of wp_user and wp_usermeta.



User database "user" table

The complete table name, including any prefix.



User database "user meta" table

The complete table name, including any prefix.

I think here you would be able to enter the same settings for every installation of bbPress to point them all to the same user database. You could try it with two forums to see if that works.

Also, managing 10 forum installations is not too bad if you have command line access to use something like subversion. Then it’s just a matter of doing an svn up or svn sw and accessing the update in a browser. You can do 10 or 20 installations pretty quickly. It’s even faster when there are no database changes. Then it’s just svn updates.
