Sometime ago I used to think the same, bbpress is too light but when it comes to integrate with wordpress and after having tried another option like simple-forum, I prefer a light core.

Perhaps the problem is the lack of a codex where you can find out how to add things-> do you want email notification? add this plugin.

This should be my only concern so far along with some parts of the core that should be in the template folder. There is stuff in functions.bb-template.php and I recently found more in functions.bb-core.php .

Hi nightgunner!

Thanks for the code It works great.

[Sheer Progress]

Everything went fine until I went to truncate and then got this message:

Table ‘robpr3_phpBB3.bb_forums’ doesn’t exist [1146]

I had all ready installed and integrated bbpress with WP. Does this mean I have to start from scratch?

Thanks.

Hahah… Well, the idea behind bbPress is not to install things like this within the core. This way forum administrators aren’t bogged down with the extra weight of a series of functions that they never intend to use; a less is more approach.

There is also a plug-in that provides this exact functionality in the extend area.

Showing a gravatar for any email address is as simple as:

<img src=”<?php echo “http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=&#8221;.md5($user->user_email); ?>” >

The mysql code for the email of the last poster is going to need a left join of the users table against the post table and more than I am willing to do right now. I suppose I could be lazy and use get_latest_posts(1, 1) to fetch the entire info the last post and grab the email address from there.

does anyone knows?, please.

Why doesn’t bbPress incorporate email notifications? Isn’t that a no brainer, how else is a person notified of changes to their topic? RSS VS eMail, outcome, eMail wins–right? Not everyone is a techie type of person. They post their questions and if email is not setup they won’t ever know what the answer was?

vbulletin will always be tops if these issues are not dealt with, right?

I am an outsider please put down the stones I am just curious…

I’m trying to find a way to us bbPress that allows me to have only a single topic and nothing more for the whole site.

I have a site, http://bulldogs.rleague.com/ which is basically a guestbook on steroids with user moderation, profiles and various security features. The main feature, and the thing that has kept it alive for over 12 years, is the very simple, flowing format which evolved from a guestbook.

I want to replace the bespoke PHP because I’m tired of maintaining it all, and adding new features is a pain in the neck.

I’ve been playing with bbPress today and it has the simplistic approach that suits my needs. However, I need to find a way to basically make the default landing page a topic, and to hide/remove all functionality that is related to multiple topics and multiple forums.

I’m happy to mess with the core code and maintain it for upgrades, but a plugin approach would be preferable. However, I don’t know where to even start. Is it something I can achieve with a different template, or do core functions need modification or plugin-based override?

The other piece to this puzzle, and I think I saw an answer already, is that the display order of posts needs to change to be the most recent at the top.

Any help people can provide is appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris.

Looks like the text is actually provided by bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php, and the text depends on if you’re logged in or not.

Not logged in shows this:

('You must <a href="%s">log in</a> to post.')

I’m not sure how you would modify that to display what you want, without modifying this core file. Modifying core files makes it troublesome to upgrade to new bbPress versions.

What version bbPress are you using?

Okay, now that I have my appetite back, can I manipulate the “allow-images.php” to restrict images to a certain width/scaling?

I know I could simply post with “width=250” on the image tag, but in order to make it easy for members, I’d like to do all the hard work for them.

Cheers!

Cal

Sometimes the simple things elude us

[calman]

I have it exactly as you have above, a typical HTML Image Tag! … I even tried bbCode in desperation, but no joy either way.

I uploaded the “allow-images.pgp” to the plugin directory on my FTP, so I wonder if I am missing some other procedure out, that I’ve overlooked?

Thanks,

Cal

[chrishajer]

What is the actual code you are using to get an image into your post? Post it here in backticks (upper left of most keyboards, beneath the ESC key.) Does it look like this?

<img src="http://www.cssnz.org/flower.jpg" />

Or, how about a link to your forum so someone can try it out.

[calman]

Hi Guys!

Not having any joy with this either??

Followed the brief instructions, copied the php into plugins and tried my own image test <img src=”bla/bla.gif” />

.. but no joy!

What am i doing wrong?

All the best,

Cal

Hi,

I’ve just tested an upgrade of my bbPress 0.8.2.1 forum. The upgrade goes to bbPress 0.9.0.4, but after the upgrade has finished and the upgrade/installation script has asked, and been given permission, to upgrade the database, it seems like theres some problems with special characters. The forum is in danish, and therefore æ, ø and å is very common, but after the upgrade they just show up as their respective UTF8 codes. I can’t figure out, and but the header and my browser is set to UTF8.

I can tell, that the forum was and still are in UTF8, but the collation on the database tables is latin1_swedish_ci

Anyone with an idea of the problem?

[jakegevorgian]

Gosh, it’s 1:16 in the morning, and I just checked out rev. 1910 with and still no success with installation.

Using WP 2.7

I hope I won’t see a nightmare — my client, an old blogger, coming over to my house and torturing me for not installing his special request: bbpress.

[calman]

Hey Guys,

I’m very confused with this, as I keep reading different instructions and looking at this threads, some of the links are broken! http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-avatar-upload

Can someone give me the “idiot guide” on installing a plugin to let my members load their own avatars, thank you folks!

All the best,

Cal

Hey Ipstenu, thanks for your help

Giving it a try right now

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/trunk/includes doesn’t have the backpress folder and it’s a little confusing but I think it’s like this …

1. Download this: https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1910/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip – This is your TRUNK build.
2. Download this: http://backpress.automattic.com/changeset/190/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip – This is for the backpress folder
3. Take the includes folder from Step #2 and rename it backpress
4. Move that folder into /bb-includes from Step #1 so you have /bb-includes/backpress

Sheesh. It’s almost easier to get SVN.

[ganzua]

how? Where? I think I have everthing setup okay, but everyones account on the bbpress side states:

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /home/user/public_html/forums/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 2009

This problem comes from 1.04. I have the same error whenever I want to edit an user;

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in wampwwwwordpressbbpressbb-includesfunctions.bb-template.php on line 2009

In line 2008 is this code;

// Keymasters can't demote themselves

if ( ( $bb_current_id == $user->ID && $can_keep_gate ) || ( array_key_exists('keymaster', $user->capabilities) && !$can_keep_gate ) )

$roles = array( 'keymaster' => $roles['keymaster'] );

elseif ( !$can_keep_gate ) // only keymasters can promote others to keymaster status

unset($roles['keymaster']);

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Users created on WP – Role ‘Inactive’ on BB, can’t post.

Users created on BB – Role ‘None’ on WP. CAN comment!

There’s no ‘wp_capabilities’ being set UNTIL the user logs into the blog. And when it’s set, it’s set as this a:0:{} instead of a:1:{s:10:"subscriber";b:1;}

[Sam Bauers]

You shouldn’t be outputting errors to the screen. If possible send them to an error log.

Can you paste your line 2009 of bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php here?

[ganzua]

I like your forum, very nice

[thugzie]

wordpressfan I tried bbpress 1.0 alpha 4 also. I still had install errors Congrats.

[calman]

.. also put a ‘padding-left=10’ behind the login fields, so looks much better, cheers!

[calman]

Thank you so much!

At this stage, I am simply looking to change the physical text or “Username” etc, so this is a result, thanks again.

I still have to tackle a custom header and styling, but will save those rookie questions for another thread.

All the best,

Cal
