So I was thinking about this in the shower, if I can get bbPress to set a cookie for / instead of /forum I think my woes would be over (See Step 2 above…)

Now, before looking into it further, I don’t think this is how it works. If the script calling for a cookie to be set is in folder ‘/forum/’ then the domain scope for that cookie is going to be set to ‘/forum/’ by the webserver.

But to test the obvious, I rushed to bb-config and tried variations on

// Cookie Scope

$bb->cookiedomain = '';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

No joy.

Maybe if I had the wp-login code on the forum site…with bb-admin cookies… let me try some things…

The ‘/’ cookie to rule them all is the way to go. If I can just get it to work…

Its my first time using bbPress and first time theming it. I must say, the easiest forum to theme I’ve ever come across.

I mimic WordPress (.com and .org) forums layout structure and color palette. Still working to iron out some css issue.

I wanted to update jquery to the current latest but it broke a few things. So I’m currently writing a plug-in that will hopefully update the jQuery and fixes the few broken items.

BBCode Lite,

BBCode Button

Allow Image

BB Smilies (maybe I should change this to something better)

I’m only 3 days new to bbPress so I hope I don’t steer you wrong…

There are probably alternating colors too…

#thread li.alt .threadpost

#thread li .threadpost

I think it’s the background color of the li not the img to be changed…

Hmm, I’m going to bow out, sorry. The solution is probably ridiculously facile and I look forward to seeing it. A bbPress content filter for the img tag inside an li?

Sorry!

Until someone who know what they’re doing chimes in… you could use CSS Selectors (of your own making e.g. ‘foo’) to trap and apply styles to elements with the ‘foo’ attribute…

[foo]        -- Has an attribute named "foo"

[foo="bar"]  -- Has an attribute named "foo" with a value of "bar" ("bar")

[foo~="bar"] -- Value has the word "bar" in it somewhere ("blue bar stools")

[foo^="bar"] -- Value begins with "bar" ("barstool")

[foo$="bar"] -- Value ends with "bar" ("I was at the bar")

[foo*="bar"] -- Value has bar somewhere ("I was looking for barstools")

So I guess, if you had <img foo='inpost'... and

[foo ="inpost"] { background-color: transparent; max-width:100%;} that might work.

If you posted an actual link to the test site (or emailed it), folks could use FF web developer plugins etc to nail down the CSS tree for that theme…

I hope this helps.

[kannued]

I added this

.threadpost img

{

background-color: transparent;

max-width:100%;

}

But it didn’t change anything. The max-width is to restrict larger images.

It’s like trying to open the wrapper on a new CD you’re dying to listen to…if I can just get it open without using a hammer…

I really wish people would just post in the extend area for each plugin directly. All these fractions of questions and answers all over the forum makes it impossible for the next person to find it .

The span technique should be fine, I just didn’t do it that way because it’s just about as much code to put an image in the foreground that way than the background.

[kannued]

When I input the code to include the image in a post, my image is surrounded by the post-form colour. In other words, I have an image with a white background which is surrounded by the post-form colour. The image is the only content in the post.

Posts without images are surrounded by the post content colour. In other words, the text has a white background throughout. No post-form colour as in the outer edge of the image.

How can I change so that the image is surrounded by the post content colour, in this case white, instead of the post-form colour?

Using bbpress .9.0.2, with allow images .7.1

Hey Chris,

Apache version	1.3.41 (Unix)

PHP version	5.2.5

MySQL version	5.0.51a-community

Architecture	i686

Operating system	Linux

I came across the other stuff while searching…

(and figured, heck, I’m hungry, I think I’ll put that in my mouth…)

[WebDev WaxLotus LLC]

Hey kannued,

When I edit the forum in the Admin back-end, I used to see the [H] [H] Forum Name so I would delete both of the [H]’s and let the plugin put one back.

If you take a look at the link to my issue (a few posts up), you’ll see that I stopped using H’s altogether…

[WebDev WaxLotus LLC]

Plugin: _ck_’s Hidden Forum v.0.0.4*

I did this:

//$hidden_forums['label']="[H] ";

$hidden_forums['label']="<span id='shield'>&nbsp;</span>";

so that I could use a background image. The ugly thing with this is that you see span blah blah as the browser title…

Is there a better way to do this?

[WebDev WaxLotus LLC]

Works for me.

bbPress 1.0a2 and plugin v.0.0.4*

Didn’t bother me before (just deleted double H’s) but this is progress!

Um, _ck_, while you’re looking at that file…peek at another minor thing

[WebDev WaxLotus LLC]

Theme Name: Kakumei Blue Version: 0.01 theta-beta

Well, a modified copy of it anyway.

The current incarnation of this is with the Enhanced Tag Heat Map 1.0.2

If I try to update changes made to the settings I get The Green Box.

With the change to the PHP error level, I get the following notices displayed at the top of the screen:

Notice: Undefined index: plugin in /home/musnake/public_html/forum/my-plugins/enhanced-tag-heat-map/enhanced-tag-heat-map.php on line 485



Notice: Undefined index: host in /home/musnake/public_html/forum/bb-includes/backpress/functions.wp-cron.php on line blah



Notice: Undefined index: action in /home/musnake/public_html/forum/my-plugins/enhanced-tag-heat-map/enhanced-tag-heat-map.php on line 586



Notice: Undefined index: action in /home/musnake/public_html/forum/my-plugins/enhanced-tag-heat-map/enhanced-tag-heat-map.php on line 618

I was looking to debug why I get The Green Box.

Thanks.

[WebDev WaxLotus LLC]

Ok, I’m getting something printed to the screen.

The main one (because it’s related to a core file):

Notice: Undefined index: host in /home/musnake/public_html/forum/bb-includes/backpress/functions.wp-cron.php on line 189

which is the last line of the following block:

function wp_cron() {

// Prevent infinite loops caused by cron page requesting itself

$request_uri = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

$cron_uri = parse_url(BP_Options::get('cron_uri'));



if ( $request_uri['host'] == $cron_uri['host'] && $request_uri['path'] == $cron_uri['path'] )

The rabbit hole leads to bb-includesclass.bp-options.php around line 14:

function get($option) {

switch ($option) {

case 'cron_uri':

return bb_get_uri('bb-cron.php', array('check' => BP_Options::get('cron_check')), BB_URI_CONTEXT_WP_HTTP_REQUEST);

Is this ice-cream?:

if(!isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = substr($_SERVER['argv'][0], strpos($_SERVER['argv'][0], ';') + 1);

}



$request_uri = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

I guess $request_uri['host'] isn’t set as the notice goes away if wrap a simple if isset around the next block. That snippet doesn’t work for me BTW. I thought $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] was the URI used to call up that page. How is it missing? It is just a notice. I should go back to the plugin issues (Undefined index: plugin and Undefined action: )

[_ck_]

This happens because there was a bug in early bbPress 1.0 alpha where it does not handle a blank query OR your HTACCESS file is missing a way to handle empty topics names.

Edit your .htaccess file and add these two rules to the bottom of the rule list (before </ifmodule>)

RewriteRule ^topic(|/)$ /forums/ [R=302,L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum(|/)$ /forums/ [R=302,L,QSA]

Note that you have to change /forums/ to the base of your forum path, whatever it might be if it’s not forums. ie. /discussions/

/community/

whatever, etc.

[WebDev WaxLotus LLC]

In bb-settings.php I changed the line that excluded some PHP errors (error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);) to error_reporting(E_ALL); hoping to see something in /myforumdir/error_log

I’ll keep looking for the switch.

[WebDev WaxLotus LLC]

I read earlier in this post where _ck_, chrishajer et al weighed in on what may generate a bbPress error.

I am increasingly running into the standard Your attempt to do this has failed message, which is better than browning-the-internet but not as good as ice-cream.

From a user perspective, my issues appear to be form related, as I only step in it once I click on it, haha.

The plugins are used by others with dissimilar complaints This points to my environment (patch level etc.)

If it’s the blend of bbPress + plugin, I’d like to be in the position to start beating on errors with my hammer.

And there’s the rub: to find the errors. I am bereft of grok.

[WebDev WaxLotus LLC]

Minor gotcha’? The bbPress blog must have XML-RPC enabled in it's settings I was going to install this to take a peek but I see someone suggested that their site hung. I’m on this ice with my host (WPMu )and can’t risk it just now…

I remember that there was much drama trying to authenticate with Flikr API via XML-RPC… It required a .htaccess file at the domain root with: `<Files xmlrpc.php>

SecFilterInheritance Off

<Files>`

Of course, the ‘Use XML’-thingy setting in the WP Admin/settings needs to be enabled too…

Fingers crossed…

I must say that I’m afraid of my shadow when it comes to turning off security filters to get something to work, especially since there was a recent thread on these forums about deleting that file altogether!

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’m not sure if this worked but …

I added in the standard Plugin header to the bad-behavior-generic.php file (see below) and then copied it and the rest of the bad-behavior folder up to bbPress. It turned on. I’m trying to sort out how to hack the wordpress plugin. I’m running the same DB for wp and bb so, in theory, this should work easily. It’s not Fatal errors.

I am passably decent at arrays, but when I toss in <?php bbpress_live_get_topics(); ?> or anything, I get no data at all. Not even a splorg of unsorted data (which at least would give me an idea of what I need to do). Frustrated me enough that I just gave up. I tried every method I know of to print an array, and I don’t even get an error message.

An example of ‘Make a bullet list of the recent posts’ would be nice to help people get started.

And will passwords be “ok” ?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I think you can fix that in your bb-config.php file by overwriting.

Under define('BB_LANG', '');

Add in this: $bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

No, I’m not using it yet, and likely won’t. It’s cool, though, just outside my scope
