Nahp.

Whenever I do exclude=7,8 it just does it as

exclude=7

and then

8

It results as only showing from 8 (except for stickies).

Ahem.. taking a look to my Permalinks admin page I noticed it says name based permalinks will look like /forum/forums/first-forum but when I turn them on they look like /forum/forum/first-forum, so please cNc tell me if this happens to you too; if not, and if more people forums behave like this, I’ll have to make some changes to my plugin…

[mr_pelle]

@zaerl: thank you!!

@cNc: my plugin is not working for you because your forum presents a different structure from the one I’ve always seen in bbPress, aka /bbpress-path/forum/forum-name (i.e. without “s” on “forum”). What version of bbPress are you using? I may rewrite my plugin to make it work even with your forum, though I think it would be better for you to get to standard structure and then activate Nicer Permalinks.

[mr_pelle]

Yeah, even less for me.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Use 0.9 if you can.

There’s very few improvements in the 1.0.2 code for your average forum use, and if you need the features from plugins that are not 1.0 compatible it’s your best bet.

[evilgeek23]

Most of the good plugins aren’t working with bbpress 1.0.2 . What should i do ? Even basic things like signatures arent available on my forum . Sad

[Damien]

I found a cheap and nasty way to do it via forum ID, anything else just highlights every tab

<li<?php if (bb_is_front() && $forumpage == false) echo " class="new" id="current""; ?>><a href="/boards" title="Forums">Mainpage</a></li>

That will highlight the mainpage tab.

<li<?php if ($forum_id == 1) {echo " class='new' id='current'";} ?>><a href="/boards/forum/first-forum">first-forum</a></li>

<li<?php if ($forum_id == 2) {echo " class='new' id='current'";} ?>><a href="/boards/forum/2nd-forum">2nd-forum</a></li>

That will highlight forums by ID.

Hope this helps you along

Hi all,

I’ve 3 issues regarding my car forums i.e. ( http://car-n-car.com/forums)….

1. Page title:

it happened after deep integration…. the title of the page which usually show in the browser’s window and Google search has been broken.. now there is just a link besides title words,

I’m sending you its screen shot for better understanding..

here is its screenshot regarding title issue

a) http://car-n-car.com/forums/page-title.jpg

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

2. Page Not Found:

when i select 1st option from permalinks i.e. http://car-n-car.com/forums/forums.php?id=1 then it work fine but its not good for seo .. that’s why i need 3rd option which is name based permalinks.. so when i select 3rd option then content goes hide and message apear regarding page not found.

here is its screenshot for better understanding :

b) http://car-n-car.com/forums/page-not-found.jpg

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

2. Permalinks Problem:

my name based permalinks structure is like that

http://car-n-car.com/forums/forums/first-forum

means the word of forums is repeated 2 times, so i want to remove this one word ( forums ) from name based permalinks.. i think it creates all trouble for me and drive me crazy…

here is its screenshot

http://car-n-car.com/forums/car-permalinks.jpg

here is my .htacess file structure

That doesn’t work. (to making it exclude=7,

[zaerl]

Try:

if ( $topics = get_latest_topics('exclude=8,7', $page) )

but I’m not sure that this will function.

[master5o1]

Still not sure how

[zaerl]

So you must manually change the loop the you will find in the template file front-page.php.

[zaerl]

You have to manually modify the template file front-page.php line 20.

[driz]

@psycheangels

Looks like some of that code could be useful. I’m not a PHP whizz though. Would you or anyone else be able to help me *rewrite* it to what I am wanting to do above?

Much appreciated.

[chrishajer]

Do you want to echo the $page if ANY of them are true? So, an OR statement?

<?php if ($page>1 && (is_front() || is_topic() || is_forum())) echo " page $page"; ?>

That should do it, unless I misunderstood your problem.

[gerikg]

Okay here is the update:

I created discussion.php and put it in root. In the file I put…

<?php



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



bb_repermalink();



$bb_db_override = false;

do_action( 'bb_index.php_pre_db' );



if ( isset($_GET['new']) && '1' == $_GET['new'] ) :

$forums = false;

elseif ( !$bb_db_override ) :

$forums = bb_get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

if ( $topics = get_latest_topics( false, $page ) ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $topics );

}

if ( $super_stickies = get_sticky_topics() ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $super_stickies );

}

endif;



bb_load_template( 'discussion.php', array('bb_db_override', 'super_stickies') );



?>

It’s the same as index.php except for the last line I put discussion.php

Then I created the template file discussion.php. I put in the file:

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

<?php if ( $forums ) : ?>



<div id="discussions">

<?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?>



<h2><?php _e('Latest Discussions'); ?></h2>



<table id="latest">

<tr>

<th><?php _e('Topic'); ?> — <?php bb_new_topic_link(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

<!-- <th><?php _e('Voices'); ?></th> -->

<th><?php _e('Last Poster'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Freshness'); ?></th>

</tr>



<?php if ( $super_stickies ) : foreach ( $super_stickies as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <big><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></big><?php topic_page_links(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->

<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $super_stickies ?>



<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a><?php topic_page_links(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->

<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>

</table>

<?php bb_latest_topics_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="nav">', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>

<?php endif; // $topics or $super_stickies ?>



</div>



<?php else : // $forums ?>



<div class="bbcrumb"><a href="<?php bb_uri(); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> &raquo; <?php _e('Add New Topic'); ?></div>



<?php post_form(); endif; // $forums ?>



<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

Now bb_new_topic_link() & topic_class() for sticky does not work.

[psycheangels]

hmm maybe you can make a condition that check if there is no parent category in that forum (by depth). i think i have seen the code for your problem in this forum but i forgot to bookmark it

[psycheangels]

maybe this will help ?

[Anonymous User]

ok – I see – this is the standard settings for topics, posts and tags.

With the plugin from _ck_ it is possible to set different count limits for nearly every bbPress page:

• front-page
• forum-page
• topic-page
• view-page
• tag-page
• tag-page
• search-page
• feed-page
• profile-page
• favorites-page
• stats-page

Okay here is how I want it to work:

<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>



<!-- FOR EACH TOP LEVEL CATEGORY BUILD A DIV WITH A H3 AND OL -->



<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>



<div class="box">



<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) : ?>



<h3><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a></h3>



<?php endif; ?>



<ol>



<!-- FOR EACH FORUM BUILD A LI (only show top level children not children within those) -->



<li class="arrow f_unread">

<a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>">

<strong><?php forum_name(); ?></strong><br />

<?php forum_topics(); ?> Topics / <?php forum_posts(); ?> Replies

</a>

</li>



</ol>



</div>



<?php endwhile; ?>



<?php endif; // bb_forums() ?>

I only want top level cats and forums to show on the front page, clicking on those will show the sub-forums when you view in the individual forums.

Can anyone help?

[mr_pelle]

No answer, so I made a plugin upload request today: “Nicer Permalinks” will be online soon!

[driz]

Okay changed all forums to have cats, but I need each block of forums with a cat to have this setup:

<div class="box">

<h3>CAT</h3>

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>

At the moment it’s repeating the div and ol for each forum and not containing the forums within a cat inside just one div and ol.

ALSO

But because I have categories within categories it will become messy nested. So I only want to show top level forums and not the sub-forums/cats within.

[driz]

Hi I have the following code:

<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>



<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>



<div class="box">



<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) : ?>



<h3><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a></h3>



<?php continue; endif; ?>



<ol>



<li class="arrow f_unread">

<a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>">

<strong><?php forum_name(); ?></strong><br />

<?php forum_topics(); ?> Topics / <?php forum_posts(); ?> Replies

</a>

</li>



</ol>



</div>



<?php endwhile; ?>



<?php endif; // bb_forums() ?>

Struggling to get it to work how I want which is basically like this:

for each category do this:

<div class="box">

<h3>CAT</h3>

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>

so that div should be repeated for each block. if a set of forums has not category, then all of the code would be above would run but just no h3.

so an example might look like this:

<div class="box">

<h3>CAT</h3>

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>



<div class="box">

<h3>CAT</h3>

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>



<div class="box">

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>



<div class="box">

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>

can anyone help thanks.
