Since I moved my domain name back onto Dreamhost.com, the “Options +MultiViews” line in the .htaccess file works partly, but not fully for ALL the links..

When adding that line, the memberlist and pm links work, but, when clicking on a username, or forum link, I get the old “No input file specified” message.. ?

Now, when I use the rewrite rules from bb-admin/rewrite.php or whatever.. upload that to the forum’s root, then the memberlist and pm links don’t work.. >_<

Does anyone have a clue, or work around for this maybe? Like, maybe adding a few lines in the bb-admin/rewrite.php verion of the .htaccess, just for those plugin links? Any thoughts, suggestions and such are welcome..

Look through the css file, there’s existing code on adjusting the h2 size. Copy it and make it h1

Do you have pretty permalinks? that seems to really, really help the most out of all the SEO tricks that are already most taken care of for you (graciously) by the bbpress coders

Nevermind I figured it out. If you wan to do this open Index.php and replace:

do_action( 'bb_index.php', '' );

if (file_exists( BBPATH . 'my-templates/front-page.php' ))

require( BBPATH . 'my-templates/front-page.php' );

else require( BBPATH . 'bb-templates/front-page.php' );

With:

`

do_action( ‘bb_index.php’, ” );

if (file_exists( BBPATH . ‘my-templates/forum.php’ ))

require( BBPATH . ‘my-templates/forum.php’ );

else require( BBPATH . ‘bb-templates/forum.php’ );’

damn thx ardentfrost

[masterdj]

Hmm?

[ear1grey]

<li<?php

if ( is_front())

{

echo " id="current">";

?>

BTW the list item would be better described as being something like class="current" then add an appropriate .current {} to your css.

It sounds like what you need is to overload the bb_get_location function. This is easy to do in bbpress. You need to make a set of functions like this:

is_home() {

if( 'home-page' == get_bb_location() )

return true;

else

return false;

}

get_home_location() {

if ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == 'home.php' )

return 'home-page';

}

apply_filter( 'get_bb_location', 'get_home_location' );

That’s untested, but I think that should work. Basically what you want to do is add in your locational test when bb_location is called. Then you can just call is_home() and it’ll do what you want. Of course, if you don’t want any other part of the forum to care if it’s on the home or not, you can take out all that stuff at the end that integrates it with get_bb_location, and just do this:

is_home() {

if( 'home-page' == get_home_location() )

return true;

else

return false;

}

get_home_location() {

if ( bb_find_filename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) == 'home.php' )

return 'home-page';

}

Whichever you want to do. The second is easier, the first is more versatile.

Well wrong, I am working on a menu for the forum and it defeniatily is important that the call back is accurate.

Some excample code menu:

<li<?php

if ( is_front())

{

echo " id="current">";

?>

<a href="<?php option('uri'); ?>">Forums</a>

<?php

}

?></li>

Here you can see is_front and we also have is_forum so I need to add is_home aswell in order to make the menu work

Well I understand your explaination of how things work. I started home.php from index.php and edited/deleted things i didn’t need to make my own startpage. I also wanted to keep the normal index file, thats why I renamed them. Unfortunally the addons i did in the template functions don’t work unless i keep it like this:

case 'home.php' :

return 'front-page';

break;

And then the id won’t work too, cause is_front() is called (and not is_home) so it gets the front-page id.

Well going to release my project very soon (as soon as I found a solution for my DIV problem), perhaps you can help me better then.

Really appreciate the time helping me out!!

What does it matter that what bbpress sees at “front-page” isn’t the actual front page of your site? It’s just a moniker used throughout the program, it doesn’t have to mean anything to you.

Not a lot needs to change when adding a new page. Make a file in your forums root directory call it whatever, like null.php. set it up like this:

<?php

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

***[if you need any code, put it here]***

if ( file_exists(BBPATH . 'my-templates/nullsfile.php') ) {

require( BBPATH . 'my-templates/nullsfile.php' );

} else {

echo "File does not exist in my-templates folder";

}

?>

Then make a file in your my-templates folder called nullsfile.php and make it look like an html file, but be sure to set it up like this:

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

***[put all your html code here with calls to php functions]***

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

At that point, you have a page integrated into bbpress. What you do in those two files is up to you. To access the file, you just go to forumsroot/null.php (if you have pretty links turned on, you don’t need the .php part). If you need called functions, standard is to put them into a file in the my-plugins folder.

In some of the plugins I’ve made, my main file does stuff like detects if something is set in the address line by checking the $_GET[] variable, or it pulls information needed by the required my-templates file by running a database query…

That all make sense?

[Justin Tadlock]

Okay, I’ve done that. Here’s what I get on both page 1 and page 2.

$page = 1

$topic = Object

[ardentfrost]

because of the function is_front(). It returns true if bb_get_location returns front-page.php.

[pilkster]

but i think we should some how figure out a way to integrate the themes for wordpress and forums..

Great idea

Hi again Trent

I’ve had another go. Here are the steps I have taken:

Created a new account on my server (taxdeduct.net)

Installed WP 2.0.5 via fantastico

Downloaded BB from this site

Created database and user through cpanel. Added user to database with all privileges >> sidenote: https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/ does not mention setting up the database. A bit confusing.

Copied config-sample.php to config.php, edited with my info

Uploaded to host

Ran bb-admin/install.php

Downloaded https://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/438/bbpress-integration.php – uploaded to WP plugins dir, activated and configured with tables prefix.

Created new user on bbpress… couldn’t log in to WP.

Created new user on WP… couldn’t log in to bbpress.

My head hurts from pulling at my hair

Another question: do you have to allow new user registrations on your blog for the plugin to work?

Why doesnt this work? Re-checked the functionsfile 3 times now, but no where else in the file it asks for this.

I am experimenting with this new home.php page and adding these new functions to the file and renaming front-page.php aint solving the problem.

What files more need to be changed in order to make home.php and home-page.php work just like index.php and front-page.php (which I renamed)?

Thx

edit:

Changing:

case 'home.php' :

return 'home-page';

break;

to

case 'home.php' :

return 'front-page';

break;

Fixes the lay-out mess up, but still… WHY? Why doesn’t the renamed file home-page.php (front-page.php) work when the return is changed too?

[ardentfrost]

why would you have it return home-page when everything is expecting front-page?

[Null]

well I found the function and added this one:

case 'home.php' :

return 'home-page';

break;

Where home-page is the front-page renamed aswell but this aint working either, it’s still messed up

[ardentfrost]

because of the function bb_get_location() in template-functions.php it returns front-page if $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is index.php

Hi,

Have you checked if FILENAME (line 85) is writeable by the server? If it is, try switching EXPORT_TO_FILE to false and AUTO_IMPORT_EXPORTED_DATA to true. As usual, please do always a database backup before.

Hope it helps

[spencerp]

Well, I’ve already been working on the layout, going by phpBB’s layout in general.. http://vindictivebastard.net/images/forumlayout.jpg

I’m just in need of some PHP professionals, to maybe make up a plugin, or a way to hard code the front-page.php file. To assign each specific forum, to the category..?

I was thinking of, maybe some how skipping the “loop” for the current forum “database calls”.. and just hard code it into the front-page, by calling in the forum’s [id’s].. bare in mind, I’m no PHP Pro here.. lol

Anyone think something like that will work, or..?

Hi,

Was just playing around and renamed index.php to home.php. The funny thing is, this simple rename effects the lay-out. Why is that? I mean no coding is touched, the file is just renamed!

Also <?php new_topic(); ?> doesn’t display anymore and the underlining of the <h2> tags is gone as well.

I am kinda noob, so why does this happen? no css or template is touched, it should work even if index.php is renamed….. not?

What do I need to change so the lay-out and <?php new_topic(); ?> will NOT be effected when renaming index.php to home.php?

Thx

[Null]

Okay almost there. I now have:

#hottags {

float: left;

width: 150px;

overflow-x: hidden;

position: absolute;

}

#discussions {

margin-left: 170px;

width: 420px;

position: absolute;

}

#rightbar {

margin-left: 610px;

width: 150px;

overflow-x: hidden;

position: absolute;

}

The right bar is alligned properly now, BUT the footer is moved up also. So the footer crosses the 3 collumns. All is mixed now, how to get the footer back down again?

Thx

[masterdj]

<– Need this answer too, it’s really important! Please

[ardentfrost]

add position: absolute; in there

[Null]

Got this now:

#leftbar {

float: left;

width: 150px;

overflow-x: hidden;

}

#discussions {

margin-left: 170px;

width: 420px;

}

#rightbar {

margin-left: 610px;

width: 150px;

overflow-x: hidden;

}

Total width = 760 px just like the header. This should work, but the right column is still displayed underneeth the discussion div (though the rightbar is aligned to the right and there is enough space left for the rightbar to move up :S
