Tried the easy video plugin. There is no place in the post area to add a video. Just the post and images. Is there something in the easy video that needs to be changed to work with my template (Crystal)?

Will download the bbcode buttons and see if anything works. Will let you know.

Looks like there is a syntax error in that template file. Where did you download the theme from?

===============================

in before,i downloaded from this page:

http://ericlbarnes.com/projects/snowski/

installed date:

about 5 months ago.

just 【try new version】 from ┳一:

http://github.com/ericbarnes/snowski/blob/master/snowski/

=======================

great! it is finished!♡♡

@Xevo: I think it should not be the same! SEO, SEO!

But. I am astonished that there is no checking in bbPress to see if a topic already exists in a forum before allowing a topic with exactly the same title to be created.

In a forum is perfectly normal to have one or more topic with the same title. But the slug created is unique cause a number is appended with bb_slug_increment.

[KentonMr]

Thanks, I already have a way round that one.

In the main site the “create topic” is a simple button on a blank form POSTing to bb-post.php with the other fields as ‘hidden’ inputs.

But still not working.

As may have been gathered the operation needs to be silent or with error handling by the main (pmWiki) site

I would have preferred to go down option 1 route:

essentially stripping out most of bb-post into a new ext_post.php

bb_new_topic()

bb_new_post()

bb_add_topic_tags()

redirect – to site page

however this does not appear to be enough!

I would rather not go down the route of having to deconstruct these routines simply to recode them to store the in relevant tables – especially when re-usability should be possible. Besides that requires an understanding of each table in bbPress – something I have not seen documented anywhere.

Did you try the plugin? It seems to me the user just puts the URL of the video inside the video shortcode/bbcode, and it embeds the video into their post or reply. Has that not been your experience?

Do you have bbcode or bbcode light installed with your editor now? If so, you can add a video button there to make it even easier.

There was another video plugin for bbPress where you just pasted the URL of the video in to your reply, and it did all the embedding for you. I think that was called bbVideo and for 0.9.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbvideo/

That’s a very old plugin and probably will not work with 1.0.2

[Petehds]

That’s correct. So; there is no easy (download) way for members to post their videos? Does the code take you to the video page or post it directly on the forum?

Thanks.

Hi Lethality,

Sadly WordPress/bbPress integration isn’t well defined anywhere outside this website – it basically means shared users and login (though for alot of people thats ideal).

If you have the cash to spend on something that already works, I’d definately favour that option.

The idea of extending bbPress into WordPress is a good one, but of course you’d still need to edit WordPress to either post comments to the right forum, or to redirect to the right forum if someone tried to add a comment. I’d be surprised if there was much desire for this on the whole, so going with the existing solution might be your best bet.

Good luck in whatever you decide, and let us know

Kev

I am going to guess it’s this plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/easy-video-embed/

From that page, it does not appear there is an admin page. Just use the bbcode [video][/video] with the URL of the video in between.

There is no admin and there doesn’t appear to be any buttons added to the editor. Just follow the instructions. If you do that, and have a problem, post back.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Can you provide a link to the “Easy Video Embed” plugin here on this website, and we might be able to shed some light?If you downloaded it from another website, i’m afraid we’ll not be able to help unless the author of it frequents this forum regularly (fyi – unlikely)

So you know, if the plugin was a bbpress0.9 plugin, your chances of getting an admin panel are about 1/100. Your chances of it getting an admin panel if you’re using bbpress1.0.2 are very close to non-existant.

Basically, if you could also expand on this a little that’d be ace:

I know you need a code from the video site

What sort of code, and from what video site?

[Petehds]

OK.

Maybe you can help with this. I just installed the “Easy Video Embed” into my forum (bbpress 1.0.2 – Crystal Theme). The plugin is activated and the list shows in the admin panel.

How do I access the application from the admin panel to post a video? I looked at posting but there is no video posting in the area…just photo upload links.

I know you need a code from the video site; but there is no place to post it.

The forum is: http://www.homedesignsense.com/forum

Thanks

bbPress and WordPress users can be sync’d without too much hassle.

Sadly I don’t know the answers to the SMF question, but Paul Hawke has been working on an import to bbPress feature, i think it’s in this thread:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/import-data-from-system-xy

That would certainly be my first port of call.

As much as I like bbPress, I’d also strongly advise thinking long and hard before moving to it. It’s feature list is limited at best, and right now Automattic can’t even get the theme fo this website right. AS long as it meets your criteria then Awesome, but definately look into this first

Thank you Sam.

Hi Cillian,

sorry, the weekend got away from me a little.

My suggestions are going to seem really really obvious, sorry in advance, but good to check these things out.

1) Did logging in/out work before?

2) What changed since then?

Can you change back to the default themes in bbPress and WordPress and then do the following, noting your server error log along the way (after each step):

3) navigate away form your website, then clear your cookies, the restart your browser.

4) Try and login via your bbPress.

5) navigate away form your website, then clear your cookies, the restart your browser.

6) Try and login via WordPress

7) navigate away form your website, then clear your cookies, the restart your browser.

try and register with bbPress

9) navigate away form your website, then clear your cookies, the restart your browser.

10) Register via WordPress.

I know those steps are painful, and a bit pedantic, but cookies are a VERY big pain if they don’t work first time when integrating these two systems (especially if you’re logged in as admin/keymaster at the time of installation/integration). Right now, it appears you’re in the 1% rather than the 99% mate, but lets try and fix that.

Wasn’t there another post recently where this same error came up?

Could Not Find Blog!

Searched for [mydomain]/forums/ in mydb::wp_blogs table. Is that right?

Can’t seem to find it right now.

[chrishajer]

Those are warnings, not errors. If you suppress displaying warnings to the browser (which you should on a production site) then you will not have an issue.

The problem is caused by using PHP 5.3.x. If you can use 5.2, you won’t even have to deal with the warnings.

You can suppress the display of all errors and warnings by adding this to the forum’s .htaccess file:

php_flag display_errors off

If you get a blank white screen after adding that, remove that line. It means your host does not allow that directive in .htaccess and you will have to find another way.

[chrishajer]

In case anyone is wondering, here is the theme:

http://www.awesomestyles.com/bbpress-themes/view/static-blue-bb

Yes, it would go in front-page.php inside the div where the hot tags are.

Find this: <div id="hottags" role="main">

Put it right BEFORE the closing </div>

That should take care of it

[bfuploader]

Hello,

I need a plugin to delete all double topic..

Thank you

[asorethumb]

What theme are you using? If you’re using Kakumei or similar – you can add your code to front-page.php, in the section that lists your tags (heat map)

Great to see progress there!

Are you back contributing to bbPress? As volunteer or back with Automattic?

With the recount, the sad part is, similar issues exist elsewhere in bbPress.

For example the Bozo plugin attempts to do it’s own recount by first sucking in the entire user id table and then processing them one query at the time. Good luck with that on a large forum! At least the bozo plugin is external now however.

I figured out a workaround for the hyperactive bozo feature by disabling it’s tie to akismet with it’s too many false positives.

instead of checking post status which is not trustworthy

if ( 1 < $bb_post->post_status ) (around line 195)

directly check if the user is a bozo for this topic (or a bozo overall)

if (bb_current_user_is_bozo( $bb_post->topic_id ) )

This prevents akismet from automatically making users into bozos by it’s setting status=2. Instead a user has to be manually set as a bozo for a topic or overall.

Makes the bozo plugin actually useful as akismet’s reliability (radically) decreases.

But since bozo alters queries and prevents them from properly using indexes it’s not a good idea on larger forums anyway.

Hi Kevin,

I’m currently logged out and it wont leave me log in again, hence the dire situation

I’m using businesslike, but I have switched back to default to see if it makes any difference. It doesn’t(!)

[Gautam Gupta]

BTW, I fixed everything in the clone I made.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Nice one Chris!

Actually the RSS feed is now working well and looking good, so whatever has changed since Monday worked nicely (great to see the patches coming in – you’re doing great lads and lasses).

The small text I’m experiencing appears to be a font issue, given that I don’t have Lucia Grande (its a mac font), Helvetica (again Mac based origianally) or Bitstream (linux). Not to worry, i need to wear my glasses more anyway

As for the “posts started”, who knows, I might have been restrained and only started 13 posts in my 18 months on the forum. It’s not a biggie anyway

Take care dude!

[kevinjohngallagher]

Fixing the problem with minimal issues is the way to treat bbPress mZimmers. Really glad to see you getting through it bud
