You should install the development (trunk) version of bbPress standalone. That has this thing fixed.

Hey!

I and Ben L. recently released a bbPress standalone to plugin converter (bbS2P) to help you out with importing. But now, that has been deprecated as most of the code that was in there has been ported into the bbPress plugin itself.

Got some hint? (I think) You’re right! You can now convert your bbPress standalone install into the bbPress plugin from right inside the bbPress plugin itself! Just have the bbPress plugin activated, go to Tools -> Import -> bbPress Standalone and follow on-screen instructions.

Note: It is highly recommended that you have a backup of your whole database before doing this.

Thanks!

P.S.

We really do need a solution that allows members to post code in a “safe” way. I’ve already got members wanting to post helpful code snippets for each other, and they can’t.

Is something like this in the plan? Or should I develop a custom plugin that makes it possible?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi All,

I’ve recently added some forums to my site and although they look good I’m unable to resize the forum listing and as such the forum listing collides with the side bar and looks awful

the forums are here: http://barnstormers.org.uk/forums/

I have a ‘Forums’ page set up using the bbpress forum index page template.

Can anyone let me know how to resolve this as the site will be going officially live in a few days.

Cheers,

Seb

Thanks Gautam… so I understand then that we are still on a non-official alpha… ummm that sounds extremely early

bbPress have a long tradition of “working alphas” is this the case again? I mean can I consider now that once beta and final version are released it won’t mean reconverting everything again from scrath?

You won’t need to convert anything now, there might be normal internal upgrades.

would I better off waiting for the final release and importer, specially if we plan to integrate buddypress on this installation afterwards.

I’d recommend at least waiting for the official alpha of the plugin.

I actually did wrap the code in a code tag, and it did nothing. The code just executed. Of course once I sanitized the code, it got highlighted in yellow.

Hi Alex,

at line 21 you use: SHOW TABLES FROM db_name in order to retrieve bbPress tables. This is a wrong approach cause you assume that in the database there are only bbPress tables which is not guaranteed.

You should only backup the tables with the bbPress prefix. Check the $bb_table_prefix global variable.

Hi everyone. I am very happy to see there is again certain activity in the future of bbPress and that the “plugin version” is already release in alpha.

I understand much has been put into it and I’ve seen Gautam’s converter script.

We have and old forum we managed to convert to bbPress 1 hooked together with a WordPress installation (2. but we got stack with the theming integration and it was never released. We now want to go ahead with the project but we are a bit uncertain which route to go with.

I would really appreciate from developers or someone who’s had the experience comments on:

Many thanks in advance and thanks to the development team for maintaining the project.

What happens if you wrap that code in a proper code element?

No worries about posting security stuff here. Live and learn.

I’m going to put up a sticky post here with more clear directions, and when/where to do what/why.

[tooltrainer]

OK whew, that’s a bit of a relief. I just tried the same thing from a normal member level account and the dangerous stuff was removed so… relieved.

Of course I’m not sure even admins should be able to post what I was able to post, or at least require it be wrapped in some special tag like <raw> or something. I am often going to need to display code for my members and obviously I can’t have it executing! I need some sort of efficient way to have it be sanitized.

Thanks for the clarification, and sorry for posting security related stuff improperly.

(Oh and also sorry for the multiple account posts, I didn’t realize earlier I had been logged into that other account.)

I installed _ck_’s Forum Last Poster plugin to show FRESHNESS for my forums, but I am trying to convert it to the exact time/date.

I have tried various permutations with no luck.

The following code doesn’t work:

<td class=”num”><?php forum_time(“D M j, Y”); ?></td>

The following code just gives a static date of Wed Dec 31, 1969:

<td class=”num”><?php echo date(“D M j, Y”, bb_offset_time(strtotime($bb_forum->forum_time))); ?></td>

Any ideas how I can do this?

Thanks.

It’s come up a few times now, where people have been using

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

incorrectly. As a result, I’ve added some extra checks and failsafes to make sure that even if you incorrectly report that your theme supports bbPress, it will still fall back to the theme compatibility files. This kind of change is pretty late in the game, so be sure to update your installations and report if anything breaks.

1. Change the forums base to something else. I am running it perfectly fine over at testbp.org by changing the base to ‘discussion’

2. The reason for the double ‘forum’ is because your root slug is ‘forum’ and the forum slug is ‘forum’ and you’re choosing to include the root slug.

3. Don’t remove the forum slug.

Widgets should work anywhere you have a widgetable area. Since your theme is mostly custom, you’ll want to research how widgets work, insert your sidebar, etc…
