Maybe someone could port the “Live Comment Preview” plugin from wordpress to bbpress.
Too bad I don’t have the time at the moment 
Hey Chris,
I had created a second bbpress database called bbpress2 to see if that was the problem, which it wasn’t. The error message is an older one. The one I’m getting now is in reference to bbpress, not bbpress2 like above. But everything else is the same:
bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']
SHOW TABLES;
bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']
CREATE TABLE bb_forums ( forum_id int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, forum_name varchar(150) NOT NULL default '', forum_slug varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', forum_desc text NOT NULL, forum_parent int(10) NOT NULL default '0', forum_order int(10) NOT NULL default '0', topics bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', posts bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (forum_id) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8
bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress']
CREATE TABLE bb_posts
Question: can I use the same database as my WordPress database?
I may call my hosting provider to see if there is something wrong with the way mysql databases are set up. Perhaps I can connect but can’t create tables?
Thanks for all your work on this!
Eric
Check this screenshot
If this what you need, then open your front-page.php and forum.php. Find
<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>
<tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>
<td><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><small><?php forum_description(); ?></small><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>
<td class="num"><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>
<td class="num"><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Replace this (7 lines) with
<?php while ( bb_forum() ) :
global $bb_forums_loop;
$_loop =& $bb_forums_loop;
if($_loop->walker->depth == 3) : ?>
<tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>
<td colspan="3"><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?>Subsubforums:
<?php while ($_loop->walker->depth > 2) : ?>
<a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a>
<?php
bb_forum();
if ($_loop !== null && $_loop->walker->depth > 2)
echo ', ';
endwhile;
?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($_loop !== null) : ?>
<tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>
<td><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><small><?php forum_description();?></small><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>
<td class="num"><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>
<td class="num"><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endif; endwhile; ?>
Note that this code prints out all descendants of a subforum together, not only in subsubforum level. If you need only subsubforums, then please use the code from http://www.livibetter.com/it/topic/example-3-level-forums-list?replies=1
This is quick solution but not perfect. Find <?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?> in front-page.php and replace it with
<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : global $forum; if ($forum->forum_parent != 0) continue;?>
It only hides the subforums, so visitors have to click on a top level forum to see if there is any subforum within the top level forum.
There are two if blocks in front-page.php, one for $super_stickies, another for $topics. Remove first one(about 8 lines) and replace second with
<?php
$stickyIdx = 0; $topicIdx = 0;
while ($stickyIdx < count($super_stickies) && $topicIdx < count($topics)) {
if ($super_stickies[$stickyIdx]->topic_time > $topics[$topicIdx]->topic_time)
array_splice($topics, $topicIdx, 0, array($super_stickies[$stickyIdx++]));
$topicIdx++;
}
if ($stickyIdx < count($super_stickies))
array_splice($topics, count($topics), 0, array_slice($super_stickies, $stickyIdx));
if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>
<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>
<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>
<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>
<td class="num"><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
Actually, the replacement is equivalent to inserting 8 lines of code.
Bump 
A live ajax one would be amazingly brilliant, and would no doubt make it into the next official release, thus bring the developer of it untold fortunes.
Well, I know I’d appreciate it. 
Thanks for the response.
Okay, I tried to patch all the files with the changes in that ticket and I seem to get the same error.
Here is my config.php:

define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does
define('BBDB_COLLATE', ''); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them
// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here
// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.
$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

I am installing bbPress to integrate with an existing WordPress. After the second step of install I get this error:
Second Step
Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some
default data.
bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to
database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress2']
SHOW TABLES;
bbPress database error: [Access denied for user 'disco'@'localhost' to
database 'approachanxiety_com_bbpress2']
CREATE TABLE bb_forums....
It seems to be similar to this post,
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/step-two-database-error?replies=4
And this one,
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/db-access-problem-in-the-first-installation-step?replies=19
I tried to resolve it by replacing db-mysqli.php with db.php in the bb-includes folder and that didn’t work.
The username and password are correct. They are the same as for my original wordpress blog. And the database is correct as well. When I change it to something else I can’t even get to the second step.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Without the [ ] I presume. Thx going to try that!
I have no idea which file you meant. Please just paste the code about how you query for something from your database and how you process the data for the visitors.
You don’t have to check the existence of the table you need
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/create-table.html
Just create a table with IF NOT EXISTS.
Could you paste your test.php?
Here is an example for deactivation hook
//bb_register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, 'GADeactivate'); // Bug in bbPress 0.8.3, do same thing using next line
add_action('bb_deactivate_plugin_' . bb_plugin_basename(__FILE__), 'GADeactivate');
just remove “de” from above, that should work. For example,
bb_register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'hook_fct');
However, I haven’t used activation hook, therefore I don’t know is there a problem with it.
Sorry, my mistake
<?php
echo '(<a href="' . get_profile_tab_link(bb_get_current_user_info('id'), 'edit') . '">edit</a>)';
?>
login_form() uses logged-in.php of current active theme if current user is logged in.
Thanks livibetter. I just realized that the profile field doesn’t show any fields that are not populated, so in my case there was no information to show until I added the website a few minutes ago.
Not my brightest moment 
You can put this at proper place in your logged-in.php
<?php
echo '(<a href="' . get_profile_tab_link(0, 'edit') . '">edit</a>)';
?>
fel64 WOW this is nice we learn every day don’t we
I will add your link to my mod it will help ppl
Nice, akhater. Just for simplicity and maintainability, you don’t actually have to copy and paste the member capabilities, you can simply duplicate them through code. (For example)
New Version, 0.2. Download the zipped file.
- Two Gravatar Email Source
- Use registered email
- Use additional Gravatar Email field
- Email Verification – Users need to verify Gravatar Emails which they input
- Options page (screenshot)
- Default Image – Supports displaying Default Image
- Also supports displaying different Default Image based on user’s role
- Display Name – Shows Display Name instead of Login name if available
- Customize Size, Rating of avatar
- Complete Deactivation – Removes options and data in usermeta
Plugin’s page
hey fel et al.,
found another issue which i just spent way too much time trying to figure out.. why is it that anywhere bb_get_option is called, it returns nothing? somehow the bb_get_option function doesn’t have access to the $bb object. I placed the following 2 lines of code in my bbpress functions.php, at the top of the bb_get_option function (after the line that reads global $bb;:
print_r($bb);
echo " $option ";
and i got:
akismet_key mod_rewrite use_cache active_plugins usercookie usercookie page_topics
— notice, the requested option names are being echoed, but there’s no output from print_r($bb). why isn’t $bb set in the bb_get_option function?
this issue is causing bbrepliestext() to output:
Warning: Division by zero in /httpdocs/discuss/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1465
if the “Do you want me to load bbPress whenever to make things like links nicer?” option is checked in Options > bbSync. To be specific, the error comes from line 500 in bbsync.php
Use this code as a plugin.
function Hook_get_profile_info_keys($keys) {
unset($keys['interest']);
return $keys;
}
add_filter('get_profile_info_keys', 'Hook_get_profile_info_keys');
Is there a simple way (i.e. not involving a plug-in) to change the title of a view? For example, if I wanted the view “Topics with no replies” to say “Threads with no replies”, how can I do this?
I do see that the views are set up in default-filters.php, so I guess I’m asking whether there is an easy way to override these view definitions using code in the theme.
Thanks.
