I just installed bbpress
and I have a feed of my forum in my netvibes page, but it does not seem to ‘refresh’?
My quesiton is: How fast does the netvibes page should ‘notice’ that I posted a new post in my forum? Is there something I should look into? I think it should be ‘noticed’ at once. Right?
Many thanks!

Update => It was just published in my netvibes page… that was after like 50 mins!! And I hit ‘refresh’ in the netvibes feed.
Is this normal?
Hi,
Thank you for letting me know. I suspect the problem is something to do with the fact that an extra database field has been created, and the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin is not updating that field. I have downloaded the plugin and will look at the code to see what’s going on — the fix may have to be in ‘bbPress Post’ rather than my plugins – but it may just be a small code change you can make yourself.
So, I’ll get back to you in this topic later.
Ahhh great stuf now it works
Here’s what I did:
1. Changed my the name of the users online plugin from onlinelist.php to users online.php
2. I changed .htaccess back to Options +MultiViews
3. There’s no step 3 
Thanks a bunch guys

There is no description of the stylesheet that I know of, but it’s fairly straightforward. Working on this should be identical to styling WP, only with different classes and ids. There is also no listing of template tags and other API functions, sorry.
Not sure what you want to do with the images, but some things can be done with CSS.
.post img {
property: details;
}
You can set things such as the border and the maximum size and the like. http://www.w3schools.com/css/
For incredibly fancy things with images you need swfIR, but that’s a flash thing and as such a) very annoying b) security risks? c) setup difficult.
Right now, by the way, you appear to be using Trent’s forum theme, which includes a (hardcoded?) link to his about page (second blue tab at the top).
You may also wish to re-count your forum’s posts (Admin > Site Management I think), as one of your forums has -1 posts.
Hi,
Is it possible at all to update a db table when de-activating a plugin?
Some plugins create an own db table and it would be great if this table is deleted when a plugin is deativated. Keeps the db clean

I’ve been fiddling around inside Ardentfrost’s Private Messaging plugin, which is very cool!
One question I have, though… it seems that when a PM is sent, it ignores the line breaks from the text area so that everything runs together. I suppose you could hard code the paragraph tags in, but most users would never take the time to do that.
This might belong in the discussion on that plugin’s page, but my question is a general one. In the normal BBP post routine, it automatically converts the double line breaks so they show up correctly in the post. How is this done, and is it simple enough that I could add it somewhere in the plugin to make it perform the same way when a new private message is posted?
Thanks!!!
Unfortunately not, as it simply hangs itself on the get_profile_info_keys filter – so it gives extra values for the user to edit, which isn’t what I’m looking for.
This is my migrated phpBB forum. It’s integrated with my main site rather tightly (UI-wise, not database), and I did a bit of modification to the post layout, making the best use of the narrow column I think. Other than that, just your usual CSS tweakage.
It’s not live yet, so I welcome feedback:

The plugins I’m using are:
Comment Quicktags
Front Page Topics
Post Notification
Page links

edit: Please feel free to register and test post, I would welcome the Q&A
It works if you are willing to download the latest TRAC version from https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/ and then scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking the ‘download in other format – Zip format’. That is the latest development version. Then you have to change your config.php to have:
$bb->mod_rewrite = 'slugs';
Your .htaccess file should just be back to whatever you had before. Mine is just the + MultiViews part.
Trent
fel64, this dont work the url“s link dont change and then error404
i am adapting code to do a unique forum (without forums!) you con see: http://www.todopiscinasQQQ.es/foro/ (remove QQQ)
Whats are wrong?
Trent i hope to do this now but i thing i need to wait for 1.0 and my code dont works then.
Open your config.php file and change line 26 (I think) to
$bb->mod_rewrite = 'slugs';
(It should have been $bb->mod_rewrite = [true or false] before.)
Put the following code in your .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)/?$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/(.+)/?$ /topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/?$ /tags.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/(.+)/([a-z]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/(.+)/([a-z]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/(.+)/?$ /profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)$ /view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/$ /rss.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([a-z]+)$ /rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
Oh! I like it! Trent
Could you give me your code please? or say me what are you doing
Thanks!
If you changed from 1.3 to 2.2 in Apache and it worked before the upgrade, it must have something in there that it doesn’t like with the Mod Rewrite handling. I am not sure myself, but I would change my .htaccess in the bbPress root folder of http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/forums/ to have only:
Options +MultiViews
Nothing else. Try it in that and in your http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/bkrv/ test run with the new version as well. Either way, it should work for one of them. That works best with most servers I have used and they are using Apache 2+. Try that out maybe and if not, take Fel64’s suggestion and put the contents of what is outputted by: /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php

Comment out this line in the plugin to get page 1 showing.
unset($links[0]);
That’s line 82 in version 1.0.2
Currently i’m trying to develop something using wordpress & bbpress.
Everything flows pretty good when talking on functionality and the rest of features, but there is a problem.
Actually 2 problems. First I already posted here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/867
And now the second one:
The final release has to be in another language but english. It’s true, I found no troubles translating bbpress in my language and the rest of updated wordpress. But after what I’ve integrated both of api’s: the wordpress and bbpress; this resulted in the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class streamreader in /var/www/pm/forum/bb-includes/streams.php on line 26
I suppose it’s because of the translations, cause when I did not defined BBLANG, everything worked well.
After a bit I thought, that a solution for my problem can be joining both of the bbpress and wordpress translation .mo’s and defining just WPLANG for my language settings. That worked, but I dont see this as a pretty simple and accessible solution for everybody!
I would be glad getting some help on that, If there is any other more easier solution, that would be cool.
I switched back to the first version, but the member list was still messed up. So I emptied the bb_online table, and now it doesn’t work at all.
Oops.
Thanks for your replys.. i’v checked to post-form.php, and it is present in the “crystal” theme.
I tried to switch back to the default theme, and suddenly it worked! Then I switched back to crystal theme at overwrited the original theme files (perhaps i’v done something with the files before).. but no, it still dosen’t work as it should
If Trent’s theory is correct (and it sounds good) I think the best thing for you to do is to plonk that javascript reference in a plugin (that’s certainly the neatest thing). This is probably the code you need.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Javascript Spoilers
Plugin URI: [Enhanced SS page]
Description: Makes little javascript buttons to show and hide text in spoiler tags. A port of a WP plugin.
Author: [Author of Enhanced SS]
Version: 0.1
Author URI: [Author of Enhanced SS homepage]
*/
function ess_addjs()
{
$plugin_uri = bb_get_option('uri') . str_replace(BBPATH, '', BBPLUGINDIR);
$js_uri = $plugin_uri . 'enhancedss.js';
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $js_uri . '" />' . "n";
}
add_action('bb_head', ''ess_addjs);
?>
You will have to modify the javascript filename from enhancedss.js to whatever it’s actually called.
Copy and paste all that into a plain-text file, call it something.php and upload it to your plugins folder. Also upload the enhancedss.js file to that folder.
Almost all that code was totally ripped off from Sam Bauer’s Page links plugin.
I think so. Integration has to be done from the very start. You have to set up your config.php properly before install (with the database pointed at your WP database) else it won’t integrate. Maybe I’m wrong; does anyone else know?

Okay, pretty simple – see here:
http://mikecarey.net/?p=187#comments
Scroll down a dozen comments from the top to the one dated March 18th, 2007 12:36 pm and see the ‘Show’ drop-downs. That’s a spoiler plugin that essentially takes any text with <spoiler> tags around it and inserts the drop-down function.
I’m either looking for something like that, or alternately jury-rigging a custom tag (if that’s even possible) to let my users post, say, black text on a black background (in a blockquote box) that you have to highlight to see.
Make a little more sense?
Matt
Not sure what you are trying to do here. Explain to me like I am 5 years old what you are trying to get done because I act that way…. 
Trent
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……
