There are some simple ways to add a sidebar .It can be done without using any code and there is a superb tutorial in this link http://www.bingness.com/10/useful-products-for-online-business/customizing-any-wordpress-theme-for-free/ which is really useful.

My forum is using gmail for email setting. However my user can’t received email when registering using hotmail or yahoo but they received it using gmail. Does it has something to do with the email coding that caused the email to be block? If it is, i really hope you guys fixed it for the next version .

[Sam Bauers]

I don’t think there is a reliable equivalent which will work everywhere.

If you are just looking for the current topic’s link then try topic_link() with no arguments.

[chrishajer]

What domain is it at, and what directory did you put it in?

If your site is example.com and you made a directory called bbpress, then the intended URL is probably:

http://www.example.com/bbpress/

I thought the installer guessed and prefilled that anyway?

[kineda]

Thanks necati. Glad you like it.

I actually only run 1 adsense unit (and even that’s not directly through Google. It’s through a special deal I have with Glam Media).

The 3 graphical banners you see are not provided by Google.

[bradstinyworld]

in wordpress to integrate digg in a posts automatically I use code like this digg_url = '<?php the_permalink() ?>'; This does not work (obviously) in in bbpress, so can anyone tell me what the equivalent of the permanlink is?

[baanhinghoy]

Is there any script that automatically show the attached image file as the image on the post instead of file?

I hope I’m not bothering you guys.

Thank you

[baanhinghoy]

Thank you very much. I aware of what you are trying to say, but what I meant was after users attached the image file, I’d like the file to be automatically (from my server) shown as an image on the post. Is there any way around it?

I hope you guys could help me out.

Thank you for your help

[chrishajer]

The allow images plugin is the one you need (the attachments one just allows attachments to posts).

Did you activate it?

People will need to have the image posted somewhere before they can insert it into their post. It can be a flickr URL, Photobucket, ImageShack, Picasa, whatever, so long as the image is publicly available on the Internet. Once the image is accessible on the Internet, they just need to insert the HTML to embed the image. the img tag will look like this:

<img src="http://www.flickr.com/whatever.jpg" />

If you post a URL to your forum, someone can try it to see what’s happening.

[Sherry Dedman]

I always do.

However, I could see that there were no errors that should be causing this, so left those things until later. But since you won’t help me until it “validates” – it now does.

And the original problems are still there, plus now the log-in info is halfway down the page and behind the forum summary area.

Can someone now please look and see what the real problem is? I’m sure it’s my fault. But I’ve just been looking at it too long to find it.

Thanks.

Are you sure? I don’t mind recreating databases, but if it can be avoided, it would certainly make me happy .

[chrishajer]

I think that is a case of mixing an array ($title[]) with a string ($title). Somewhere, $title is being used as a string, and this piece of code wants to use it as the array $title[].

Glad you got it working. Hack away.

Currently the search results don’t work. To fix them, please add the following line in the function gs_search_result_loop:

function gs_search_results_loop($results) {

global $bb_post; // <-- add this line

[chrishajer]

I don’t think you can do a case without a switch first. Something like this:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Title Modifier

Author: Matt George

*/

add_filter('bb_title', 'titlemodify');



function titlemodify( $title ) {

//your code that does something to $title;



switch ( bb_get_location() ) {

case 'topic-page':

$title[] = get_topic_title();

break;

}

return $title;

}

?>

[photolord]

Do you know what I did wrong? When I try to activate the plugin I get:

Plugin could not be activated; it produced a Fatal Error.

I want to get rid of the site title that comes after the topic title on topic pages. That way I’ll only have the <title>Topic Title</title> in the browser. I need some expert coder help. :o) This is what I have that did not work:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Title Modifier

Author: Matt George

*/

add_filter(‘bb_title’, ‘titlemodify’);

function titlemodify( $title ) {

//your code that does something to $title;

case ‘topic-page’:

$title[] = get_topic_title();

return $title;

}

?>

[aiitee]

hey,

i was thinking about a plug with that hides, cloak, the links to those visitors who are not registered or logged in the website. Its a great idea i think for those who need to get emails or more registered people.

the script needs to detect the <a href=""… etc etc code to “cloak” the links

whatcha say?

[chrishajer]

WordPress.com says this about the keys:

“Please use your own API Key and don’t ever share your API it is like a password for you “

I don’t know about advantages or disadvantages for using the same key. I used to use the same key for all sites, but now I get a new key for each site (which is a big pain). I haven’t noticed a performance difference one way or the other.

[chrishajer]

This is an old post, but the concept still applies:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/title-tags#post-9045

bb_title is the function you need to override with a plugin, such as this one. To see what bb_title and bb_get_title do, take a look at bb-includes/template-functions.php starting around line 305 (in version 0.9.0.2).

Hi everybody

I have created a new forum for my site, Retro Garden.

Retro Garden Forum

Integration is almost seamless in FF, and pretty close in IE, so let me know what you think! And any suggestions to improve it.

[Rhys Wynne]

Figured it out by looking at the documentation. Silly me

[Rhys Wynne]

Hi everybody

I’m finally going to do a proper BBPress forum, and integrating it with one of my sites (http://www.retrogarden.co.uk/). The forum is here (http://www.retrogarden.co.uk/forum/)

I have two small questions though:

1. How do I edit the look of the login form? At the moment it can be construed as confusing as the width of the column makes it look terrible.

2. On a topic page (http://retrogarden.co.uk/forum/topic/your-first-topic), how do I edit the look of this page? Which template is it in? I want to remove the border around the gravatar, and expand the size of the post content at the expense of the post author information

[psychoo]

Pokerlover:

Slug means URL, but I’m not sure .

You have to change the settings/premalinks option to day and name. After that you can change the “Slug” in the Page management to whatever URL you want, for example http://www.site.com/bbpress/.

After that your page links to bbpress, OK. But how you make it recognized as a “current page item” when you’re in the forums?

[chrishajer]

I doubt it has anything to do with subversion.

What revision did you check out? I think the trunk release is probably broken (I could be wrong, but I still wouldn’t use it in production) so I would check out tags/0.9.0.2/instead of trunk:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/tags/0.9.0.2/

[norvu]

Perfection. I owe you #1 beer.

[bramruiter]

Sorry, I don’t check this forum daily, so here’s a late answer:

1. From what I know, it has always been like this. It’s only when I perform a search.

2. The version is bbPress 0.9.0.2 and it was installed somewhere between june 26 and june 31.

3. I didn’t. I only screwed around with the template files.

4. No, they did no update or change whatsoever.

5. Like I said, it was there before the plug-ins, but here’s the list.

Private Forums, BBPress Private Messaging (not working), Post Count Plus – Dynamic.Titles & More!, Akismet, Avatar, Last-Post, Limit Latest Discussion, Bozo Users, BBcode Lite, Move It, Quote, Simple Onlinelist, Allow Images, Human Test for bbPress & Front Page Topics.

6. The second error appears only when someone perform a search. The first error is only noted in the admin area, in the first tab, beneath ‘User Registrations’.

7. Yes. It does happen.

The MySQL version is 3.23.58.

I’m not a big guy when it comes to coding/scripting, so I have no idea what these errors mean. I’m glad somebody wants to help.
