hey tnx

I just realised that you may not have a language file for bbPress installed at all. bbPress does not come with any language files by default. You need to download them separately and follow the instructions in the bb-config.php file about where to put them.

The language file you are after should be here…

Been having some strange issues I am ironing out (really need a content importer for bbPress soon ** but the link is being fixed on that post as well:

Looks like this is hard coded into the theme’s header.php:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

So, unless that line was edited in some improper or invalid way, I can’t see what would case that line to be truncated after content=".

Can you confirm or post that line from your active theme’s header.php?

[chrishajer]

Well,

The next thing that is supposed to come up, I think, is this:

text/html; charset=utf-8

Maybe whatever is providing that has an error and is causing this problem.

Are you using a stock theme, and if not, does changing it back to stock fix this error? My guess is this is something in the template file, or the config.

Are you using a different language file? (I’m guessing not, based on the blog.)

Or, is it possible not everything was uploaded properly? Some things I would expect to be in that directory are not present when accessed directly by URL. Can you confirm that a new bbPress 0.9.0.2 archive and your server have the same exact files?

Blog – this is the blog

Forums – this is where forums are

Entire installation went through smoothly and it looked like it’ll be a breeze, but front end of forums give this error message. Back end is accessible from admin panel without problems.

Thanks for your help

EDIT: Opps, had to edit my post cause BBCode didn’t go through :S

[chrishajer]

For the first error, I think in 0.8.3.1 it is looking for an underscore plugin, but you have none in the plugin folder any more, and it errors out.

This is line 169 from bb-settings.php:

foreach ( glob(BBPLUGINDIR . '_*.php') as $_plugin )

I would create a blank php file called _nothing.php (nothing in the file at all) and put that in your plugin directory. The name of the file does not matter, except it needs to begin with an underscore. The contents of the file don’t matter either. We just want something for bbPress to see in that directory so it does not fail. That should prevent the first error. I think it will actually take care of the second error as well. It’s also related to having no underscore plugins in the plugin directory.

Thanks for posting your bbPress versions: it was invaluable in finding the right line numbers and relevant code.

I’ve integrated bbpress with upgraded version of WP (just upgraded to v 2.5.1) and everything seemed to have gone fine during installation as I was getting all positive messages confirming that the steps were performed successfully.

However when I go to the forum page itself, all I see if this:

<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”

admin area loads, just front end doesn’t load at all, only this text appears. Can somebody help

[Trent Adams]

I am pretty sure sambauers or mdawaffe will look at this thread at some point as they have access to the documentation

Refueled, this is pretty slick!

To center the theme, you can just add margin: 0pt auto; to the #container div.

Another thing… You have a float: left; on #front-page #discussions. This makes hottags float to the right and be invisible (because of the overflow:hidden on container). If you delete that float: left, the hottags will appear on the bottom. This also fixes the little bottom border artifact you see to the right of the only sticky post.

[refueled]

I normally agree. This will probably be my only left-aligned bbPress theme.

Thanks again for your feedback.

[Null]

There is nothing “wrong”with left aligned, but it reads better/nicer. Especially when having a wide screen monitor. Matter of taste

[refueled]

Hey Null,

Thanks for your reply.

Just curious, what’s wrong with it being left aligned? At this point I probably wont change that because it’s based on one of my original CSS templates.

Thanks for the color suggestion. I will make those adjustments.

More reviews are welcome.

Hello, I have installed bbPress at one of my websites (in a subdirectory called “forums” – i.e. bbPress is installed at mydomain.com/forums/).

I’m trying to set up Lighttpd URL rewrite rules now in order to achieve SEO friendly permalinks.

I have tried to google a little bit but the only thing I have found is this:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Could anybody tell me how to edit it taking into consideration the subfolder where the bbPress is installed?

My current Lighttpd rewrite rules in config file are bellow:

url.rewrite-once = (

"^/(wp-.+).*/?" => "$0",

"^/images/.*/?" => "$0",

"^/forums/.*/?" => "$0",

"^/temp/.*/?" => "$0",

"^/(sitemap.xml)" => "$0",

"^/(xmlrpc.php)" => "$0",

"^/keyword/([A-Za-z_0-9-]+)/?$" => "/index.php?keyword=$1",

"^/.*?(?.*)?$" => "/index.php$1"

)

Well I would center the whole forum instead (its now on the left part of the screen) and I would darken up some things (like the zebra stiping and mouse over). Also I would make all hyperlinks that dark green like you have for the forum title (upper left: your ministry.org).

Also remember that not all screens are the same. Some people have it too bright, others too dark, so don’t use too light colors

Just my 2 cents, looks great

[bobbyh]

Yeah, that should work. If you have trouble with this, post a link and I’ll tell you what CSS you need.

[John Conners]

You use standard HTML markup so to create the following link:

Here’s a link

you’d enter the following:

<a href="http://www.example.com/">Here's a link</a>

[lucy-skywalker]

I’m using Transition Towns bbPress forum and I cannot see a page of instructions anywhere – either there or here – about using code for those who are a little unfamiliar perhaps? I don’t understand your “allowed markup” below, if this is it. I want to put hyperlinks in but hide the URL, and the phpBB system [url=http://website_URL]website[/url] evidently doesn’t work here.

[dragosbogdan]

I’ve been trying to follow this thread that has a patch to display the temporary password for users who have just registered with my forums:

Users dont receive password after registration

the code in my file is different then what pravin said to change in bb-includes/registration-functions.php. i just can’t figure out what needs to be changed.

is this technique outdated? I’m running bbpress 0.9.0.2. i would really like to do this as my mail server from my crappy host gets blacklisted often and registration emails get caught in spam filters.

i also know i should add some stuff to my SPF records, but 1) i’m not really sure how to do that (that’s a different thread though) and 2) i’d like to display the passwords at registration anyway.

please help!

[bobbyh]

wilcosky, I don’t know a plugin that does this, but if you’re worried about a string like aaaaabbbbbbbbb “breaking your theme”, you can just apply a CSS overflow to the post class. This theme actually does so with this code: .post {overflow:hidden;}

[moomag]

Well finally I have got BBPress and WP talking to one another (hurrah!) but I would like to know if it is possible to open BBPress inside a WP Page so my current WP site wraps around the forum?

Is this possible and if so could some kind soul please tell me how to do it

Thank you!

[jldean]

If you need to pre-moderate new topics/posts, there’s a great plugin for that here

If the subject matter is political/contentious, this can be a useful tool

[jldean]

Ah yes – I had a bit of a fiddle and found bb_get_user

$uid = $bb_post->poster_id;

$bb_user = bb_get_user( $uid );

$uname = $bb_user->user_nicename;

This does the job fine Thanks

[Null]

I say wait till _ck_ releases his plugin. It’s more extended.

Let’s all spam _ck_ so he will release the thing already :P:P:P

(yeah also waiting for the release )

[Null]

Try: get_topic_author() or something. There was a wiki where you could find the correct “tag” @ bbpulp.org but that one seems to be down at the moment…
