Yeah, I IM’d Trent to let him know a little while ago. He’s like my liason to the powers-that-be

Just a note – the plugins database at bbpress.org/plugins seems to be offline. Leastwise, I can’t get to it to look at or download any plugins. I keep getting an error:

Cannot select DB

Just thought I’d make mention of this so someone can fix it. It’s been offline for most of the day.

I suggest to add a zip of the theme in that theme folder for now, so we can use this download button. Future realease can have this zipping later (if needed at all).

The download button would be plain wicked

hi bbolman, this is just what i’ve been looking for… great! thanks so much.. best of luck to u!

Hi! i have successfully installed bbress to my site integrated with wordpress. Now, i have another question? can we make it possible to make the forums(the entire bbrepss forums) exclusive only for members? what do i need to do? thanx!

[stuboo]

I have bbpress and wordpress running independently on the same domain but am having some encoding problems with bbpress that I didnt have on my local server.

As an example . . .

the…?

Shows as . . .

the…?

I am sharing some of the same header information between my bbpress install and my wp theme, but I don’t know enough about encoding to know if that’s the problem.

Thanks,

Ryan

Why not have the server zip the theme every time a theme is added? Minimises work on all sides.

Very nice work. I especially like the don’t show for … settings. It feels very professional.

[lonemadmax]

Download button that will (on click) download the theme currently viewing (even grater if it would zip the theme folder and offer it for download on the fly)

Good idea! I’ll work on that. I don’t know if zipping on the fly would be nice on the server. I think it’d be better that the admin adds the zip each time he adds a theme. But that’s more work for the admin so I don’t know.

Remove the Show theme button. Just selecting it in the ddlb should be enough to switch (or some explainetion of how to do this, cause I want to use it without that button)

You can remove it by deleting the lines that generate it. Line 139 – 142 in cookie_themes.php (that is, from var but = ... to f.appendChild(but);). I put it before adding the “submit on change” stuff, and then I left it just in case the new thing didn’t work. When I tried it yesterday on MSIE, it didn’t work there, you had to use the button. But it may be just my MSIE with paranoid configuration.

This will hopefully fix the following issues.

• This user is a bozo: "1" in the edit profile page.
• Slashes getting added to some quote marks (" -> ") in posts.

I have made a new testversion for suleiman. Plz try this version.

1) Delete bbemenu.php from your plugin directory (and close browser)

2) Delete the bb_menu table from your database

3) Upload this test version, go to your admin and refresh the page if needed

4) Check if the bb_menu table is filled now.

ps. you only have to replace the bbmenu.php from your plugin directory.

Download testversion:

http://www.sourceskins.com/bbmenutest.zip

If this version isn’t working for you sul, I give up

[altmejd]

Strange. All users on my forums got the This user is a bozo: "1", that doesn’t change no matter what I do. But still, all the topics created are visible and none of the users are listed in the Bozo-list.

[darkgrave]

You can make your own measures. Its not exactly NEEDED and it gets really annoying.

Well cheers theres your fix.

[chrishajer]

Yes

[Pravin Paratey]

Trent:I don’t know if this should go in the main branch. This patch is for those people who can not send mail from their servers.

master501: If you don’t know how to use patch, just open the files in notepad and change the lines marked with – to the ones marked with +

[darkgrave]

Trent you can also alternatively get rid of it all together just by taking this line out of bb-settings.php:

require( BBPATH . BBINC . 'bozo.php');

&&

require( BBPATH . BBINC . 'akismet.php');

It won’t lock up your new-topics which it actually auto deletes them and it gets really annoying after trying to fix it. So, I just got rid of it all together.

[darkgrave]

Sry for the Db post but, this is a bug caused by Bozo.

Go into BB-settings.php, look for

require( BBPATH . BBINC . 'bozo.php');

And Delete it.

Theres your fix.

[chenchen]

well it meets all the requirements… what about in the config file? what shall i write to “$bb->domain” and “$bb->path”? i have a folder in my localhost called “testfolder”, and i want to install BBPress inside this folder so the path of my BBPress must be http://localhost/testfolder/forums? is this possible?

[Trent Adams]

I am not sure what problems you are having exactly. Is it the same as your last post on this issue? If so, chrishajer wanted to help you in this reply.

I see from your screenshot and your config.php file above that you haven’t edited it to your circumstance. You have to put in the values that correspond to your install for these parts here:

$bb->domain = 'http://my-cool-forums.example.com'; // Example: 'http://bbpress.example.com'

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. '/' is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = '/';	 // Example: '/forums/'

Right now, you have the my-cool-forums.example.com and that has to be the URL of your install. Does your system work with an IP address or http://localhost or how do you access it. That will be part of the reason the graphics don’t work as that portion isn’t correct.

I’m having trouble with this plugin – MediaWiki version 1.6.9, using the Authpress.php from the codex link in the first post.

I try to log in and I get this error:

..from within function “AuthPress::authenticate”. MySQL returned error “1146: Table ‘*********.wk_wp_users’ doesn’t exist (*****.***)”

It looks like it’s appending wk_ before my user table?

[chenchen]

Hi, everyone. is it possible to install BBPress to my own computer? if it is, what do i need to do?

thanks a lot. it would really be a great help.

[lonemadmax]

Yep, just have a look at the beginning of the injected javascript, in the plugin file. st is the variable through which you change the CSS of the box. Regarding position, the original file has:

st.position = "fixed";

st.left = st.top = "40px";

Changing top to bottom may give what you are asking for. You can change the value, of course, and add other CSS that you may want. Also, if you know JavaScript, you can make the box work as a draggable window, there are examples of that out there.

I’ve just tried it under MSIE and guess what, it puts the box in the bottom of the page, after all content (that is, where it is generated).

And there’s a BUG (I’m talking about my files again, not MSIE positioning). The “close this box for this session” closes it forever. Well, for “more than just this session”, a week, I think. I can’t correct it and test it now, but the change needed would be to add the “just for this session” expiration time for the “annoying_box” cookie. That’d be the third parameter to bb_cookie in line 15 of themes.php. There are only two parameters now, and bbPress takes the absence of the third (or its value being 0) to mean a week. Right now I don’t know if you have to set a value in the past, a negative value or no value to make it a session cookie. In the latter case, it may be necessary to call setcookie directly instead of bb_cookie as bb_cookie changes the no-value case to a week.

You may also leave that option out, the “box that disappears after 5 seconds” one may be enough.

[ccmve]

It’s on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition.

In the config file, I have it set to:

$bb->domain = 'http://www.forum.mybbress.com';

Above though it calls http://www.forum.mybbress.com before the absolute path and http://www.forums.mybbress.com after the path.

[fel64]

Are you using xampp? I’ve no experience with that whatsoever, but since it’s a path on your hard drive it seems that way to me. I’ve seen a few people say they’ve had problems using bbPress with that, and someone rightly point out that if you test on xampp you’ll get a bunch of errors you wouldn’t get on a server and miss the ones you would get.

I’ve personally had no problems on my server, and if you already have hosting and an unused or wordpress db then there probably isn’t any harm in just testing it on the server.

Edit: err – hehe …

[fel64]

Aren’t themes meant to be in the /my-templates folder? Not sure if it’s necessary.

As a temporary fix, you could right-click the link, select Copy Link Location, paste it into your URL and just change the path so it links to your theme. Might be worth a try

[lonemadmax]

You don’t have to know Spanish to send mail

I got your script, and it worked for me. That is, after I added an ‘l’ you deleted with a parenthesis . So it seems the problem with your second try was just a typo. In line 521 the original script said:

$import_sql = utf8_encode($import_sql);

and yours say:

$import_sql = $import_sq;

So add back the ‘l’ or delete the whole line, as it’s useless in the utf8->utf8 version.
