where do I find the css control for the right site menu, Im wanting to widen it out a bit to fit my template and cant seem to find the dimensions in any of the css files.

I have tried so far in a search & find: basic-profile-info, widget basic-profile-info, profile-data and secondary widgets.

which file is it and which code?

Nice theme by the way : )

[aiitee]

thanks man, its fixed!

Did you modify bb-config.php to use that language file? Once the file is installed, you need to put in the config to use it:

Near the bottom of bb-config.php – you need something like this:

define('BB_LANG', 'es_ES');

[fel64]

h4 is a block element and as such it should not be enclosed in a <p> anyway.

How are you adding the paragraph tags? That could be a source of trouble for your plugin.

[chrishajer]

You don’t need to use a function: you could add the functionality you want just by hacking the plugin. You can always refactor later to move some things into functions.

Start simple. Find the place where the message is displayed to the user. Then, add some html there to display an image. Make sure you upload the image, then make sure you get the path to the image correct. I think that would be pretty simple.

I thought there was a “newmail.png” already included though? I don’t use the PM plugin, but if that icon is present, where is it displayed? If it’s not on the page you want, I would use the same method they use to display it, just on a different page.

Although the title of this topic is “Private Messaging Popup” you’re not looking to create a javascript popup when the user logs in that they have a PM, are you?

You could also contact the plugin author:

http://faq.rayd.org/bbpress_private_message/

From that page:

Visible representation of when a message hasn't been seen (in your inbox and sent box)

[chrishajer]

I think you left off the trailing “[space] dot” that indicates “put it in the current directory” or path. From the svn help:

If PATH is omitted, the basename of the URL will be

used as the destination.

 

That means it creates “trunk” for you, which you don’t want.

Just delete the trunk directory and cd into the forum directory again, and run this whole thing:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ .

There is a / then a [space] then a period at the end there. That will put it into the current directory with no trunk directory being created.

Does anyone know how to modify the code of the private messages plugin so that an image is inserted when a message is received.

I was thinking of an image popping up next to the text where it says you have a new message like an envelope icon or something.

I am guessing you would add some kind of function but I don’t quite know how.

Good questions! This is an initial install, so there’s nothing previous there. When I click the admin link, it reloads the front page. I can click on a forum or post and it takes me to the right page. The permalinks appear to be numeric. I haven’t made any changes at all. I am using the default theme, no plugins. It’s a pretty virgin install.

[jbbrwcky]

That did it! Thanks very much

Hello,

I would be highly interested if your plug in works with 1.0 alpha and >.

BBcode and other ways are great for tech-savy people, but for a basic customer website, wysiwyg editor like tinyMCE is far simpler, natural and so on..

I tried greenhome’s solution and it almost worked. Thanks!

However I got some minor errors, especially with links like http://domain.tld/forums/topic/test?replies=3#post-17 or http://domain.tld/forums/profile/username/favorites?fav=0&topic_id=1&_wpnonce=10a4ad44b8

Here is a workaround :

In /etc/lighttpd/bbpress-rewrite.conf, I have :

url.rewrite-once += (

# /forum/FORUM-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "forum.php?id=$1&page=$2",

"^" + bbpressdir + "forum/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "forum.php?id=$1",

# /topic/TOPIC-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "topic/([^/?]+)(?(.*))?$" => bbpressdir + "topic.php?id=$1&$3",

"^" + bbpressdir + "topic/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)(?(.*))?/?$" => bbpressdir + "topic.php?id=$1&page=$2&$4",

# /tags/TAG-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "tags/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2",

"^" + bbpressdir + "tags/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "tags.php?tag=$1",

"^" + bbpressdir + "tags/?$" => bbpressdir + "tags.php",

# /profile/PROFILE-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3",

"^" + bbpressdir + "profile/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "profile.php?id=$1&page=$2",

"^" + bbpressdir + "profile/([^/]+)/([^/?]+)(?(.*))?/?$" => bbpressdir + "profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&$4",

#"^" + bbpressdir + "profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2",

"^" + bbpressdir + "profile/([^/?]+)(?(.*))?$" => bbpressdir + "profile.php?id=$1&$3",

# /view/VIEW-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "view/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "view.php?view=$1&page=$2",

"^" + bbpressdir + "view/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "view.php?view=$1",

"^" + bbpressdir + "rss/?$" => bbpressdir + "rss.php",

# /rss/FEED-NAME

"^" + bbpressdir + "rss/forum/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "rss.php?forum=$1",

"^" + bbpressdir + "rss/topic/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "rss.php?topic=$1",

"^" + bbpressdir + "rss/tags/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "rss.php?tag=$1",

"^" + bbpressdir + "rss/profile/([^/]+)/?$" => bbpressdir + "rss.php?profile=$1"

)

Finally, I just add this configuration for each vhost using bbpress :

$HTTP["host"] =~ "domain.tld" {

var.bbpressdir = "/forums/"

include "bbpress-rewrite.conf"

}

Hope this helps!

Hello,

I like the Latest Discussions on the frontpage, to have a quick look of the active topics, but I’d like to limit it to max. 5 topics.

Is there a way to do this? I tried several plugins found on the internet/this website, but none of them works.

Is there a way by changing the code? If yes, in which file should I look?

Btw, what is the default amount of ‘Latest Discussions’ on the frontpage?

Thanks.

[csseur3]

Hey, i try to add my own bbcode with http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/93

In BBcode-lite.php, i do that:

$simple = array('t' => 'h4','b' => 'strong', (etc)

but in my page, the source say that:

<p></p><h4>Quel statut?</h4>


so, the normal code must be:

<p><h4>Quel statut?</h4>
</p>

no?

why the formatting is not correct?

Bye

[chrishajer]

It’s OK to start a new topic for a new problem.

To change the language, you need to make a change to the bb-config.php file, and you need to install the language files. There is an Arabic language file shared here:

check out this very nice R-t-L Arabic bbPress

To install a language file, the instructions are right in that area of bb-config.php:

// Change this to localize bbPress.  A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to 'de'

// to enable German language support.

define('BB_LANG', '');

 

You put the file (downloaded from Google Code) into the `bb-includes/languages/ directory. Then enter the name of the file here in between the single quotes for the BB_LANG constant. For Arabic, I think the file is ar_AR.mo, so your config line would be:

define('BB_LANG', 'ar_AR.mo');

There are more files available at that code.google.com site for an Arabic bbPress. It’s actually very nice that someone shared all their work. Looks like there is a localized version of bbPress there as well, possibly with more items translated that were not translatable with a language file.

[chrishajer]

I have no idea. Might be this (based on looking at another user in my database):

a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

But I would just change them through the Admin backend, rather than directly in the database. Much safer. Once you have the keymaster back and can log in, you can change anyone you want to administrator or other level one logged in.

Well, the installation (with full wp-integration) went as smooth as it could have, but the index.php doesn’t want to load. Not even when fully referred to in the URL (/forums/index.php).

My ftp-client sees the full installation and the content of the file seems to be ok. What settings could cause this error other than the URL actually not being valid, though I can’t figure out why that should be?

EDIT: I found that Firefox can open and read the readme.txt and licence.txt just fine, but it wont execute the php-files properly… this is just wierd?? What the heck did I miss here?

[chrishajer]

The password normally contains special characters and that’s fine. That’s how I can usually tell if the bbPress is an old version or new version, based on the password being sent out when you register.

There is no problem with having special characters in the secret keys: it’s just that if they’re not properly escaped, the server will choke on the config file because the bb-config.php does not have proper syntax.

So, make sure the keys are the same for WordPress and bbPress, make sure the bb-config.php is syntactically correct (php -l bb-config.php from a Linux command line) and then figure out why you can’t log in.

You can also make the secret keys really short and easy to compare while testing to see if that’s the problem.

It’s also worthwhile to check any php file you edited for the proper syntax. Maybe once you log in, you are being served another page that has a syntax error (a template file?) and that is causing the blank screen.

Also, access to error logs will help with this, if you have them.

Everyone put this in your bb-config.php

$bb->load_options = true;

and that number will go down radically.

For some reason I don’t understand they refuse to make that the default and therefore bbPress just “lazy loads” each option as each plugin requests it.

If you are using the 1.0 alpha they still have a bit of work to do with query reduction as they rewrote half the routines and storage layout but left it unoptimized. For example each forum on the front page is loaded as a separate query and then the meta for each forum is loaded as a separate query. It’s a bit crazy because if you have a dozen forums that’s 24 queries but I have high hopes Sam or MDA will tackle that soon and do it all in just two queries.

Last but not least there is a serious optimization problem IMHO in all versions where bbPress will “read before write” every time a meta option is saved, regardless if it’s just been loaded and sitting in the object cache. I have to put a bit of extra code in all my plugins to work around this issue. The reason why they do that is to determine if they should do an INSERT vs an UPDATE because you can have duplicate keys on meta data by design and mysql can’t be told what to do if the key already exists. But there are better ways to do that – since 99.99% of the time it’s going to be an update since the data already exists – do an update and just check for a mysql error on the return (or count rows affected) – then do an insert instead that one time it’s needed.

I use it in WP and bbPress It’s easy to adapt, and as you have both integrated …

Of course you could also print the “about” text entered by the user in their Profile page in the Dashboard. So you only really need a plugin for the gamertags.

[pilola]

Detective – Thanks I’ll take a look. But it doesn’t seem to be what I’m looking for since it’s a wp plugin. And the possibility of adding gamertags isn’t really the only thing I want to get out of this.

I mean what I’m really looking for i some way to catch the value of a field and echo it inside some code.

And as i mentioned earlier I’d really like to give my users the op to create “About me”-content.

Maybe it’s easier to do this outside of the profile-section? But I’m unfortunately not a PHP-coder so I ain’t good at writing php from scratch.

[Detective]

Pilola, you could use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gaming-codes/

I use it here: http://www.ryuuko.cl/bbpress/ (see the “nuestros usuarios” links).

[pilola]

Midnightsun & antonskey already mentioned similair things. I have a site for gamers (integrated wp and bbp using the bbp as the member section) and I wan’t to give them the possibility to add their Xbox Live Gamertag, Wii Friendcode and PSN ID.

There must be som easy way to, from the profile-template, check if the Gamertag field has a value and then just ad the name to the gamertag embed code. I was looking in the template-functions file and took a look att bb_profile_data and I think that’s kind of similar to what should be used in the theme.

Also I would like to give the members the possibility of creating something like a About Text. So instead of a normal field i would need a textarea. Hope someone knows what could be done.

[orizine]

no more problem, whith some modifications i had done what iwante

I have a band messageboard that’s worked flawlessly for a year now… but when I tried posting myself just now, it didn’t appear on the board. When I checked the dashboard, this is what it said for the latest post:

Any idea what’s going on? I’ve never seen this before… and I think I’m the only one with access to the backend.
