then it does work, yes but i’d love to have pretty permalinks

[4k]

seems a bad idea then to offer it as a tag for posting when many do not know that and can break your board through code errors.

[chrishajer]

Turn off permalinks and leave them off. Then see if your forum works.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false; in config.php.

[chrishajer]

An <li> always need to be within an <ol> or <ul>. You can always validate your page here and it will point out errors like that.

http://validator.w3.org/

I can’t edit the title but it turns out the problem is with using the li tags. They completely screw up the page when used in a post viewed with IE.

And while I would like no one to use IE that isn’t a choice.

Hey guys,

i’ve just installed a wordpress plugin makin it possible to upload a user avatar. the plugin is based on based on Dan´s Avatar plugin and was modified by clope.

look at the comment of a user called julius in this wordpress-post: http://www.stereopoly.de/die-evolution-der-nintendo-helden/#comments

Is it possible to easily embed a freaky code to my bbpress (http://www.stereopoly.de/forum) showing the avatar? PLEEEASE HELP!!!

[stereopoly]

Trying to activate Vili’s Avatar Thingy, my wordpress says:

“The plugin could not be activated for it’s causing a fatal error.”

What now?

[stereopoly]

Thanks for your help, but it does not work

»No input file specified«. So what now?

[hitec7]

Nice clean dark theme.

[hitec7]

I installed your plugin _ck_ but i when i activated it din’t auto inserted the math field in my registration page. Strange so i did it my self by inserting in my register.php / bbpress theme file the function:

<?php human_registration_test(); ?>

and then it worked ok.

[chrishajer]

Well, let’s see. Your forum is in a directory called bbpress:

http://redsunday.net/bbpress/

So line 17 in config.php should look like:

$bb->uri = 'http://redsunday.net/bbpress/';

Create a folder, call it whatever you want. Just be sure you access the URL with that folder name, and be sure line 17 has the same folder name. That’s really all there is to it.

Hi Gang

Thanks for the reply chrishajer, but the suggestion did not work I’m wondering if I’m putting things in the wrong directory? The config-sample.php file references the forum address as “http://my-cool-site.com/forums/”. I’ve tried putting the bbpress installation at the root level as well as in a folder called forums, but I still have the same problem. When I set-up the forum how should I handle line 17? Should I leave everything at the root level or should I create a new folder and put the instal there and have line 17 point there? Does an example file structure exist in a FAQ anywhere?

BTW, the style sheet and such exists, it is however not being used.

Thanks!

sorry, just found the thread with the solution

Deactivating the Display Name Plugin. Is there a new Version for this Plugin wich solves the Problem?

[stereopoly]

it does not work so, too.do you mean just copying the “rewrite-rules.php” into the forum-root directory and then try to run it again? I have set

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

and within my htaccess it’s still said

Options +MultiViews

and then i have to go to http://www.stereopoly.de/forum/rewrite-rules.php , ay?

does not work

[stereopoly]

Hey guys,

I’ve almost finished installing my bbpress on http://www.stereopoly.de/forum but there’s one thing doing wrong: The permalinks. I want to use pretty permalinks, but obviously my server does not support the easy .htaccess thingy (Multi Views).. Thus I have to run http://www.stereopoly.de/forum/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php right? But if i do so, I will get to the homepage (stereopoly.de/forum)

Any idea, how to solve this problem?

sorry for my bad english, i’m just german

cheers

[chrishajer]

It looks like all the files were not uploaded properly. For example, the stylesheet is missing:

http://www.redsunday.net/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

Or possibly, you have pretty permalinks or slugs turned on, and they’re not supported by your host (very common with GoDaddy and Dreamhost, I think.) Modify this line in your config.php from 'slugs' or true to false like this:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

If all the files were uploaded properly, I would guess this is your problem.

I’m trying to use the same database and tables for wordpress and bbpress but they don’t merge painlessly.

I set the table prefix in bbpress’s config to wp_ and set the database to be the same as wordpress’s. I also set the wp_prefix in bbpress’s config.

Then I tried to start bbpress but it threw a bunch of exceptions and now it will not save new posts. Can anyone help me?

I enclose it’s exceptions

Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

bbPress database error: [Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD COLUMN post_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment



bbPress database error: [Key column 'post_id' doesn't exist in table]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD PRIMARY KEY (post_id)



bbPress database error: [The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD FULLTEXT KEY post_text (post_text)



1. Created table wp_forums

2. Created table wp_topics

3. Created table wp_topicmeta

4. Created table wp_tags

5. Created table wp_tagged

6. Changed default value of wp_posts.post_status from publish to 0

7. Added column wp_posts.post_id

8. Added column wp_posts.forum_id

9. Added column wp_posts.topic_id

10. Added column wp_posts.poster_id

11. Added column wp_posts.post_text

12. Added column wp_posts.post_time

13. Added column wp_posts.poster_ip

14. Added index wp_posts FULLTEXT KEY post_text (post_text)

15. Added index wp_users UNIQUE KEY user_login (user_login)



bbPress database error: [Field 'post_content' doesn't have a default value]

INSERT INTO wp_posts (forum_id, topic_id, poster_id, post_text, post_time, poster_ip, post_status, post_position) VALUES ('1', '1', '1', '



First Post! w00t.

','2008-02-22 15:10:39', '127.0.0.1', '0', 1)



bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'post_id' in 'field list']

SELECT post_id, poster_id FROM wp_posts WHERE topic_id = 1 AND post_status = 0 ORDER BY post_time



bbPress database error: [Unknown column 'post_id' in 'where clause']

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_id = 0



Finished!

Eek. Well, I’ll keep it on Yahoo for a little bit longer while I finish my attempts at utilizing WordPress to drive the new site design. Then I’ll see about launching it on another server. It’s bizarre to me that yahoo can’t do that, especially seeing that wordpress is an option on the backend server. I appreciate all the help!

*Wait, I didn’t catch the setting the dang line of code to false. It looks like we’re rolling. Just in time for me to be exhausted. Thanks for everything, guys.

[chrishajer]

Don’t use permalinks. Find the mod_rewrite line (line 27 in mine) in your config.php and change it to look like this:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

That will turn off the permalinks and all the links will work again.

[chrishajer]

No, it is JUST .htaccess – the . indicates it’s a hidden file, and there is no file extension. The Apache webserver looks for that file for direction on some hosts.

[hitec7]

i like the way u think

ill try your plugin and post feedback.

[benbeltran]

Sure thing… Right now I use a different database, but I’m going to change it to work with users_meta. Nothing hard. I’ll send you a message when I do

[_ck_]

>> are u sure _ck_ ?

>> how about the hired Chinese ?

That gives me a great idea to spell the numbers out as words in captcha-like graphics, which would be an interesting variation for non-english speakers.

[hitec7]

are u sure _ck_ ?

how about the hired Chinese ?

Correction its not the plugin’s fault its when i call the bbpress/functions api from wp-config coz i want to use them in the wp site :

if ( !defined('BBDB_NAME') )

require_once(ABSPATH.'community/bb-load.php');

also i get a bozo.php related error :

Error:

Warning: Missing argument 2 for bb_bozo_pre_post_status() in /home/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/community/bb-includes/bozo.php on line 173

I think they are all come from upgrading to WP 2.3.3 …

if anyone can help it will be cool

tnx
