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

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.

@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 ?

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.

Hi gerikg,

this post could help you:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-a-new-custom-page-like-wordpress

1. Make a custom page

create a page discussion.php in the root forum folder

add require_once(‘./bb-load.php’); on the top of the page. and write whatever code you want in the page.. that should create a static page with bbpress functions..

2. Put in the code for the Latest discussions from the main page (?)

or

3. Make your own sql query – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-a-new-custom-page-like-wordpress

Hi all

Has anyone come across a fix for bbPress inregards to brute force attacks on passwords?

A brute force attack allows a user to attempt to login to the application with a valid user account using a dictionary of words for the password without the account being locked out.

bbPress allows multipul attempts at password entry without locking the user out. This means that someone can use a application to hack into a users account.

Has anyone made a fix/ plugin for this? Or know a way of solving this?

Help/ thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

[gerikg]

<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) {; ?>

<table id="forumlist">

<tr<?php bb_forum_class('bb-category'); ?>>

<td colspan="4" class="cattile"><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><?php forum_description( array( 'before' => '<small> – ', 'after' => '</small>' ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<th colspan="2"><?php _e('Main Theme'); ?></th>

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

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

</tr>

<?php } else { ?>

<table id="forumlist">

<tr>

<th colspan="2"><?php _e('Main Theme'); ?></th>

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

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

</tr>

<?php };?>

<?php continue; endif; ?>

I can’t get it right..

[chrishajer]

I suppose you could do the complete noob thing and say:

<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) {

continue;

}

else {

// do something

}

?>

Unless I am completely missing your point and this is some sort of test

[chrishajer]

Is it as simple as:

<?php if ( !bb_get_forum_is_category() ) {

// whatever

?>

[gerikg]

Add

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

to your .htacess file. By default GoDaddy uses php4

bah I should add pictures to my tutorial!

Hi chris,

thanks for your long post. It’s great to have you here as moderator

Honestly though, we have bigger problems than just putting a fresh face on the bbPress.org website. That would be the least of my concerns.

I can understand thoughs – although I’ve made a post about the “fresh face” just minutes ago. After using bbPress more than a year I believe in the future of this project. And I will contribute – where I can help.

For my thoughts … there should be a defined project team to coordinate the next steps. The weekly IRC meetups in December and January were the right way. To define a document team was also great. But after three months there are only you and Gautam “driving” the project.
