chrishajer: Ah, sorry. mod_rewrite

timskii: I could have sworn they had it turned off at some point, but maybe I am misremembering. The point is that hosters tend to do stuff like that (often without warning), so as robust a solution as possible would be ideal, naturally.

I would also be very much interested in a “approve registration” plugin. I am building a forum for in-house use only so want to make sure that only staff sign up to use our forums

Would anyone be able to assist with testing a conversion script from IP.Board 2.3.4 to bbPress 0.9? I’ve started writing some code myself to handle the switch. It would be great if any other coders would be willing to assist with this too.

The way it will work currently is to generate a ‘ipb2bb.sql’ file that you can pass to mysql to upgrade the database. It will import users, categories, topics and posts. You can ask it to limit it’s import to select categories only instead of all categories.

We could try to appeal to the mercy of whoever the current plug-in coders are. I’ve seen something at TextDrive where a group would donate some money into a pool for development purposes.

I think it’d be great if they added the “Ideas” feature here at bbPress like they have for WordPress also.

Try putting this in your bb-config, it should rename those bbPress cookies for you:

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

.

You may also need to adjust the cookie domain and path, but try that first.

[Sam Bauers]

Ah, in that case all you need to put there is mail.ru without the asterisk or leading dot.

I installed bbPress on a directory called /discussions on the root of my hosting account, where I have also installed WordPress 2.5, everything on the installation went ok, but after all been done, the admin login to the dashboard gives me the following message:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

Any solution?

I had the same problem with my plugins with the avatar tab too. It makes tabs duplicate.

I’ll have to lookup the workaround I did…

Okay the bug fix I had to use was to wrap the function that adds a tab and check if $self was set.

ie.

function add_tab(blah) {

global $self;

if (!self) {

// code that adds tab goes here

}

}

So what you probably need to do is change this line like so:

if (!$self && bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ) == $user_id) {

@Beer: When/if I get the time I’ll be sure to make it public. As you know it’s quite something else to make it work generically rather than for one specific site.

Thanks for the praise though, appreciate it.

@_ck_: Thanks. Yes, I also had a good mind of making that “online” banner that phpbb uses, available per user but other things caught my attention.

Anyways, glad you both liked it.

Front page topics plugin isn’t working? Hmm. Should be.

I have a modification I’ve done somewhere…

Try this:

// fix number of front page topics

function bb_custom_topic_limit($limit) {

switch (bb_get_location()) :

case  'front-page':  $limit=5;  break;

case  'forum-page': $limit=10; break;

case  'tag-page':  break;

case  'topic-page':  $limit=15; break;

case  'feed-page':  break;

case  'search-page': break;

case  'profile-page': 	break;

case  'favorites-page': break;

case  'view-page': $limit=10; break;

case  'stats-page':  break;

case 'login-page': break;

default:  $limit=15;

endswitch;

return $limit;

}

add_action( 'bb_get_option_page_topics', 'bb_custom_topic_limit',200);



// required to fix for custom topic limits to calculate correct page jumps

function fix_post_link ($link,$post_id) {

global $topic;

remove_action( 'bb_get_option_page_topics', 'bb_custom_topic_limit' );

if ($topic && $topic->topic_last_post_id==$post_id) {

$topic_id=$topic->topic_id;

$page=get_page_number( $topic->topic_posts );

} else {

$bb_post = bb_get_post( get_post_id( $post_id ) );

$topic_id=$bb_post->topic_id;

$page = get_page_number( $bb_post->post_position );

}

return  get_topic_link( $topic_id, $page ) . "#post-$post_id";

}

add_filter( 'get_post_link','fix_post_link',10, 2);

Is there a manual way to get someone set to KeyMaster? I registered and was user #1. There seems to be no use #0 so there is no administer for the forum. I’m totally locked out.

[bloggerdesign]

I found the issue. The table names were custom set to not interfear with anything that that wasn’t called out anywhere in the install process except in an advanced (hidden) area.

I’ve re-installed BBPress 4 times now and I finally go it to work, with all my old posts, but I can’t log in.

This will affect all forums:

global $bb_roles;

$bb_roles->remove_cap('member','write_topics');

$bb_roles->remove_cap('member','write_posts');

You can put it into header.php or make a real plugin ie.

members-cannot-post.php (and install into /my-plugins/)

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Members Cannot Post

*/

global $bb_roles;

$bb_roles->remove_cap('member','write_topics');

$bb_roles->remove_cap('member','write_posts');

?>

I think I will make a real plugin which can control this on a per-forum basis since this seems to be a requested feature that is not too hard to handle in 0.9 Look for it in the plugin section over the next day or two.

I have a karma plugin in development but it is not available yet and most likely will not be until early May.

You can preview it in use at http://bbShowcase.org

The code in brackets is BBcode so you want my BBlite:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/

[chrishajer]

I think it is. The only issue is if you had an integrated install, then you would have bbPress users in your wp_users and wp_usermeta table. You would probably have to manually remove those entries from those tables. Don’t drop the wp_ tables, just the bb_tables.

I think that’s about it. Once the code is gone from the filesystem, the database doesn’t matter much except for keeping things tidy.

[chrishajer]

<strong>like this</strong> and it will look like this. Not bbcode, HTML.

[ajvngou_]

and i am trying use code or something… how i can type this?

[strong] hello[/strong]

[JaneLitte]

I don’t have pretty permalinks on. I don’t have an .htaccess file in the bbpress install. My root .htaccess is this

Nevermind, I’ve coded it myself . But it’s not ready for release yet…

[refueled]

Hey,

Just wanted to mention that I have released a matching WordPress theme, just in case anyone is using Peacemaker for bbPress.

You can download it here.

[exchequer598]

UPDATE!!

Figured out a way to integrate WordPress smileys into bbPress. Use this plugin!

You should make that:

*.mail.ru

[momo-i]

Hi all,

I’m using this in Japanese. When the user is registered, mail is garbled. It seems that it is because the mail body is submitted with raw UTF8 (not MIME-encode) also this is because of mail in Japanese(encoded iso-2022-jp) being provided as shown in RFC1468.(See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1468.txt)

However, it is possible to display it even in Japanese with UTF8 normally by doing appropriate treatment.

1. Add Content-Type header and etc.

$headers[] = “MIME-Version: 1.0”;

$headers[] = “Content-Type: text/plain; Charset=UTF-8”;

$headers[] = “Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit”;

2. MIME encodes the header.

use mb_encode_mimeheader().

I installed bbPress in http://paara.org/forum/ because that’s what I wanted the URL of the forum to be, and the installation instructions didn’t indicate any preference for where.

Just one blog, with the WP files at http://paara.org/WordPress/ but with the public URL being simply http://paara.org/, as described in https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

And after moving the bbPress directories to http://paara.org/WordPress/bbPress/, I still can’t get the install to run, or anything but the “no content” message to appear.

What am I missing?

I know just enough PHP to be dangerous. Very dangerous. In other words, not much…

Maybe this is the opportunity for me to learn more. We’ll see…
