Trent – I see you have fixed the problem. Thank you very much !

I will now go to build the forum, and will share with all of you once I made it work (and also, will share my Hebrew translation to the rest of the community)

Again, Trent, thank you very much

p.s: one small correction I made to the stylesheet, was to the header.

In the current configuration, The first letter of the name of the forums, is cut off.

So to fix it, I erased the line:

font-style: italic;

from the file style.css, in the “#header h1 { ” section, as seen here:

In style.css:

#header h1 {

font-family: Georgia;

/*font-style: italic;*/ <– this line

position: absolute;

display: block;

color: #444;

text-align: right;

letter-spacing: -1px;

right: 59px;

bottom: 31px;

}

I don’t know how to incorporate it into the trunk or to post a ticket, but I hope what I write will help…

Another small issue (which matters little to me, but is worth noting) :

When the mouse hovers around a header of (for example a forum name): in Firefox, you get the whole line to change color(as it should). in IE you deon’t get that effect.

Hope this is the right place. I just installed the latest svn version on my local pc, and got the forementioned error twice (also with topic_slug field). Running mysql 5.0.

keith:

you mean like a read more?

Yes, that’s what I mean.

[citizenkeith]

Thanks Null.

One additional thought… is it possible to limit the length of the post on the portal page, then have a link at the bottom that will take you to the full post in the forum?

[citizenkeith]

Thanks Null! We’re using bbPortal at our forum now. Any chance that you can add Sticky support for topics? I have a topic stickied in my designated portal forum, but it doesn’t appear stickied on the portal page.

[Null]

Do you also run php 5? and/or mysql 4?

and can you check if the bb_menu table is created in your db and if there is stuff in it?

To be honest, I have realy NO idea why you guys have these errors or why they occurs. Since you both have the same problem with the same lines of code, I am guessing that OR i programmed something wrong (that can be, cause I really am a programming noob) or it is a php/msql version problem.

Do you see the menu tabs in the admin area?

If you dont realy need the menu part, but want to play/use the portal only, you can create a clean php file naming it bbmenu.php and put in a function called: get_bbmenu(). Just make sure this function does nothing at all. Upload it to your plugin directory and you can use the portal plugin. The portal plugin checks if this functions excist in order to continue, but in this stage it doesn’t realy need the bbmenu plugin yet (it is usable without it). Only thing is you won’t have a nice menu on your portal page then…

[Null]

Perhaps cause it’s php 5? I dunno it seems to have problems with:

$r = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM$bbdb->menuWHEREset= 'active' ORDER BYorder` ASC”);

while($rw = mysql_fetch_array($r))`

You can see the tabs in the admin erea? (is your bb_menu table filled?)

edit:

perhaps add:

global $bbdb; right above the code (above the $r) I showed… what happens then?

Yes, we could set up a wiki – but to avoid (most of) the stated problem it would have to be a technical/developers wiki for now. We should also agree to move it’s contents to any official wiki when it comes along. I assume that an official wiki would use the same software as codex.wordpress.org which appears to be mediawiki, so to be compatible when the time comes we would have to use that too. My personal thought is that it is about time for this, and as the development community grows it is becoming necessary. I could set one up in half an hour (I’d be happy to host it – ad free). And we could work out the taxonomy of it here.

To be slightly democratic, I say if ten people who we recognise as regulars/developers vote for it here, then we should go ahead. I’m also willing to hear arguments against the idea too.

Should we vote on it?

[fel64]

To make the fix work, thierry, you have to change the field to 0 and save with the plugin applied. It doesn’t automatically unmark them I think.

[thierryyyyyyy]

Actually, I said something wrong. New posts I wrote are now considered as bozo. I feel that as soon as a user is considered as bozo, all his posts (and also pasts posts) should be marked as bozo, no ?

It seems that mdawaffe has lot to do on other projects. No correction after 1 mounth of bug submission, we feel abandonned.

I used this SQL query to mark all my bozoed posts (from the poster who have id=1, which is usualy the keymaster) to “normal” post :

UPDATE bb_posts

SET post_status=0

WHERE post_status=2 and poster_id=1

my posts after this “update” has not been bozoed. My profile page still shows a “1”.

[smurfdude]

When i was using author.php for my wordpress profile i used the following code to show the latest blog posts i had made

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

It’s out of our hands, come sit with us, silent demonstration

I have found that there are many more mime-types out there. Heres a list of extension to mime-type associations that you might want to add. I have built up this list over the last few years of real world use of applications.

'png' => 'image/png'

'png' => 'image/x-png'

'png' => 'application/png'

'png' => 'application/x-png'



'jpg' => 'image/jpeg'

'jpg' => 'image/jpg'

'jpg' => 'image/jp_'

'jpg' => 'image/pjpeg'

'jpg' => 'image/pjpg'

'jpg' => 'image/pipeg'

'jpg' => 'application/jpg'

'jpg' => 'application/x-jpg'



'jpeg' => 'image/jpeg'

'jpeg' => 'image/jpg'

'jpeg' => 'image/jp_'

'jpeg' => 'image/pjpeg'

'jpeg' => 'image/pjpg'

'jpeg' => 'image/pipeg'

'jpeg' => 'application/jpg'

'jpeg' => 'application/x-jpg'



'gif' => 'image/gif'

'gif' => 'image/gi_'

.

Of course, you would have to adapt your code to handle multiple mime types for each extension like so (or similar)…

Line 31:

$allowed_types = array(

'gif' => array(

'gif' => 'image/gif',

'gif' => 'image/gi_'

),

'jpg' => array(

'image/jpeg',

'image/jpg',

'image/jp_',

'image/pjpeg',

'image/pjpg',

'image/pipeg',

'application/jpg',

'application/x-jpg'

),

'png' => array(

'image/png',

'image/x-png',

'application/png',

'application/x-png'

)

);



$allowed_types['jpeg'] = $allowed_types['jpg'];

.

Line 124:

if ($error == 0 && (!in_array($img_type, $allowed_types[$img_ext]) || !in_array($img_ext, $allowed_extns)) ) {

.

Then remove the next conditional block from line 130 to line 134 because that check is now covered in the previous conditional block.

Now if only there was a way to display a default image if the user hasn’t uploaded one.

That’s the point of the identicon jobbie, it assigns everyone a unique and easily distinguishable image when they sign up.

Louisedade, bb_init is called before bb_head I think. In your avatar.php template file it should also be class="bbcrumb" rather than id="breadcrumb", at least if you want the same styling as everything else.

[smurfdude]

W00t! I’ve figured out how to display the avatar next to comments in wordpress. Though the way I have done it i’m worried it’s going to cause problems.

Now if only there was a way to display a default image if the user hasn’t uploaded one. Not that it’s a big deal. Thanks

[Null]

Plz do cause it doesn’t only effect hyperlinks, but also some hooks wich need to generate links. This one is not working for me:

<?php new_topic(); ?> It should show a link: Add to ad a new topic, but it won’t show…

@Trent and ardentfrost: Thank you!

Trent, feel free to use the upload code for whatever! I stole it from myself anyway… it is adapted from a photo gallery application I wrote.

My previous message hinted at expanding the number of images that can be uploaded, although I only mean it within the context of multiple avatars. But somebody else is welcome to expand the code to a general image/file uploader.

[LMD]

Ok, I’ve now looked at the code and can see how it can be included without needing to branch the plugin too much (and all the maintenance issues involved with that!).

First of all I removed the identicon functions from the bb-avatar-upload.php file and placed them at the bottom of the identicon.php file, to keep them all together.

Secondly, I moved the if($_POST['identicon']){...} code from the avatar-upload.php file to the bottom of identicon.php and made it a function called by the ‘bb_head’ hook (I might eventually do this for the main upload functions too). Note: Is there a pre-head hook that fires before any headers are sent?

function useidenticon()

{

global $user;

//fel identicon

if( $_POST['identicon'] )

{

felapplyidenticon( $user->ID );

}

}



add_action( 'bb_head', 'useidenticon' );

You then only need to supply and maintain two files for the “branch”.

- my-plugins/identicon.php

- my-templates/avatar.php

The avatar.php template is the least likely file to change (it’s been modified slightly since version 0.1).

I’ve made the modifications and zipped them up for you to examine:

Identar Modified (this is minus my files, except the template file)

You will also need the updated version of Avatar Upload: Avatar Upload (version 0.2)

By keeping the Identicon and Avatar parts of the code separate, it should be easier to use Subversion to merge in – or simply replace – changes I make to the trunk code.

Regarding filename storage in the database – there are two reasons for this. The first is that I prefer to store the image dimensions along with the current avatar. The maximum width and height of the avatar is just that, maximums; the actual dimensions could be any size and any aspect ratio within that limit. I then include the height and width attributes in the <img> tag – it’s good practise because the browser makes space for the image when loading the page, instead of shifting everything after the page has loaded.

The second reason is more exciting – future proofing. A future version of this plugin will allow multiple file uploads, allowing users to upload more than one avatar image and select which one to use.

Since releasing version 0.1 of the plugin, I have reduced the number of DB calls in the profile pages and in the avatar-upload.php file by making use of the $user object and calling $user->avatar_file when I need to access the avatar info.

Although, when adding avatars to a user’s posts you still have to do a DB query. If I used your suggested method, it is still going to involve at least one call to the DB, either to get the user_login from the get_post_author_id() (and then grab the avatar file), or to get the avatar itself from the get_post_author_id().

[smurfdude]

I used this plugin and the row of smilies show beneath the edit form, but they are unclickable. An even when I just type in etc, they don’t appear in the post.

[smurfdude]

Ah i was hoping it would be something simple like inserting a bit of code in the comments page rather than needing a plugin to call stuff from the database. Being rubbish at php that kind of thing just confuses me, so will have to cross my fingers that someone else does it

[Trent Adams]

Fair enough

[Calitoe]

I have visited your site, Trent, and I do appreciate the effort, but some of the ones listed don’t work with my installation. The “four” themes that I mentioned in my first post that worked for me were all taken from your site!

I guess now I have a strong reason to develop another skill: “bbPress themes”

Thanks for your answers.

[fel64]

It’s not actually meant to be instructions, more like a list of hooks and filters Trent. I just included that as an aside for someone starting out.

I’m sure you two have seen some more filters or hooks yourself, so help out and add them please. The point is, rather than waiting around for documentation, start getting some makeshift documentation up ourselves.

post_text is a filter called on the text leaving the database I think, it’s what the emoticons use.

[fel64]

Strange – what is the error?

Besides, the code should be this instead I think!

href="<?php bb_get_option( 'uri' ); ?>/avatar-upload.php?id=<?php echo $user->ID; ?>"

Small error in the documentation. If you’re feeling lazy, feel free to hard-code your forum’s URL in instead.
