You’re an amazing guy, Mr. Trent. We’ll give you all the time in the world, of course, and simply be grateful if/when you’re able to cobble something together!

It was scheduled to be out pretty soon here, but the number of tickets keeps increasing. Usually, at some point, mdawaffe just cuts the tickets to the next version and has a release. It will be soon I would imagine…..maybe within 30 days, but don’t quote me on that……

The 404s seem to me to probably come from your config.php and .htaccess files not being set up accordingly. If you have mod_rewrite set to true in your config.php (which you do) then you must update your .htacess file.

Go to http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/bkrv/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php (probably) and copy the output into your forum folder’s .htaccess file. Try again.

You said something about a hacker?

As far as I know each theme must be in a sub-folder of my-templates.

[fel64]

No, it isn’t.

Stylesheets are what determines the look of a forum. These are the stylesheets the WP.com forums use:

http://wordpress.com/forums-theme/wpcom/forums.css

http://wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/h3/style.css?1169109548

http://wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/h3/hack.css

I do not think they would mind if you use them, as long as you give credit. You could ask someone.

Or, instead, you could start a new theme, edit your new style.css file and try to replicate what they have by try-and-error.

[fel64]

Check forum/bb-templates/kakumei/post-form.php is present on your server. That is the only thing I can think of.

[Arlo]

You both ask very reasonable questions

Basically, my forum is such that people tend to sign up just to ask 1 question and disappear. So over the years it has amassed about 700 users with 1-2 posts, tops.

My current setup is pretty much a mirror of the old forum (it’s at my site at /bbpress if you want to see the design in progress), which can of course work fine, but being the anal type I was thinking of starting this forum with a “clean slate”, as it were. Maybe 2-3 users would be returning and bear the burden of re-registering.

But I guess I’ll leave it be. As new posts come in the old ones will “flush” off the front page anyway. Thanks for the insights.

[chrishajer]

This is very interesting to me. How about these ideas?

For the close a forum, I don’t know how you would do that. There’s nothing I know of in the bb_forums table that marks it open or closed. The best I think you could do is mark the topics closed. To do that with SQL, you could do something like

UPDATE bb_topics

SET topic_open=0

WHERE topic_id IN

(your comma separated list of topic_ids)

You could drop the WHERE part if you wanted to mark all existing topics as closed. Before you do anything with SQL though, be sure you have a backup of the data.

I can see why you want to take a snapshot of the old forums and mark them “archived/old” but, I would assume if you are moving things from phpBB to bbPress that your forum structure is going to be similar, so closing the forums to new topics wouldn’t make sense anyway.

Another option is to create a new forum called “phpBB Archive” or something then move all the topics and posts over to that “archive” forum, then create your forum hierarchy again in bbPress like it was in phpBB (i.e. World News, World Labs, Support, etc.)

For the users, why not just change all the passwords? That would make the usernames still valid, so no one else could re-register as an existing name, no one could log in with the old name, and all the existing posts would still be attributed to the original poster.

Just my thoughts: maybe they’ll be useful. Good questions though…

A swedish forum for teenagers.

• Quote
• allow images
• avatar
• emoticons
• memberlist
• post-count
• sitemap

I’ve also made a “plugin” for my menu. Instead of change the code in the core-files I made a plugin for the links. I think it’s not that professional but it works.

[stasi]

Hi..

I’v installed bbPress correctly (i guess) and intergrated it with WP, and it words fine. The problem is, that the link: http://stasi.se/forum/?new=1

that comes up, when I push “Add new / Tilføj ny (danish) » “

The a form should appear (like the one i then buttom), but all that appears is a info “Hello user” edit etc.. no form..

Someone how know whats wrong, or do you know another link/file that I could redirect the link to, so I will word?

I’v created a user: testtest pass: 0b28fc

– so you can try to login at se the faoult with you own eyes..

I hope someone has a golden solution

//And sorry, that the page is translated to danish

[fel64]

I’ve never seen it as a checkbox, it’s always been a text area for me. Look here: http://forums.loinhead.net/profile/fel64/edit ~ Err, you probably can’t edit accounts on my forum. Nevermind. But really, I have the same HTML output as you.

You have Update Profile‘ed, haven’t you?

I keep getting flagged as a Bozo.

You shouldn’t be flagged again if Akismet is not running. Strange.

[fel64]

I might do it sometime, but for now I’d say just use the Comment Quicktags – press a button and the code is inserted, if your problem is remembering the codes.

I get these errors:

bbPress database error: [Table ‘mpmorg2_bbpress.bb_online’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_online WHERE user_id = 1 LIMIT 1

bbPress database error: [Table ‘mpmorg2_bbpress.bb_online’ doesn’t exist]

INSERT INTO bb_online (user_id, activity) VALUES (‘1’, ‘2007-03-24 06:06:37’)

read me says:

“You’ll maybe get an error if you browse your forum the first time after you’ve installed the plugin. This is normal.

If you keep getting errors, try setting $mysql41 to false maybe it works then, otherwise don’t hestitate to contact me.”

How do I set this to false?

forum is here: http://www.mpm.org.au

EDIT: It’s okay, it just took some time for the errors to disappear.

[karaboga]

Yes, you are right; some people will not want to use this.

But i mean, this would be an option, like in WordPress.

As bbPress’ structure is very similar to WordPress; adding that option to bbPress won’t be so hard, i guess.

I should have kept a list of plugins and the only real change to the core code was I removed the bozo check.

[Null]

Got now this:

<?php



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



global $bbdb, $bb_table_prefix;



$id = $_POST['id'];

$content = $_POST['content'];



$bbdb->query("UPDATE ".$bb_table_prefix."menu SET item = '". $_POST['content'] ."' WHERE item_id = '". $_POST['id'] ."'");



echo stripslashes(htmlentities($content));

?>

This should work?

[mattpeckham]

Okay, fixed it by putting:

margin-bottom: 1em;

…in the CSS.

[Null]

Try <br />

[Arlo]

I actually have the same problem; <br> doesn’t work, it just shows up in the post as-is.

[Null]

How to make is so, that it wont filter between the code tags? Cause we dont want smilies in code parts

[Arlo]

Hi, I’m having a bozo nightmare. I installed bbPress a few days ago, and I keep getting flagged as a Bozo.

1. I’m running latest bbPress, and this Fix bbPress plug-in.

2. I disabled Akismet per the other Bozo thread.

And yet:

In my keymaster profile page, I have a large text field with the contents of my admin name, and I’m stuck as a bozo. Changing “1” to “0” in PHPMyAdmin does nothing. Deleting my name from the bozo field does nothing.

I understand this is supposed to be a checkbox, but I have this:

<tr>

<th scope="row">This user is a bozo:</th>

<td><input name="is_bozo" id="is_bozo" type="text" size="30" maxlength="140" value="" />



</td>

</tr>

Cheers Sam, worked beautifully. I put your CSS in my style.css and played around with it until eventually getting rid of all extra styling But it works great. That was a major annoyance. Thanks.

So in the next version like:

<youtube>linktothevideo</youtube> ??

[wittmania]

It’s not working for me…

On topics with a single page, I get this error:

Bad arguments. in blah blah blah/bbpress/

my-plugins/page-links.php on line 68

When I click on a page link, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_tags() in

/blah blah blah/bbpress/

my-plugins/page-links.php on line 33

Any idea what’s wrong?

Also, I would recommend that you add an option for the links to be text-only instead of the CSS/image based ones. Thanks for putting this plugin out for all of us.

Nah too complicated, need a plugin or something

Most simple is to just hide the chosen forum from the list (while creating a topic) from all members except the mods/admins…
