Hi

I recenetly set up a forum at piloten.no/forum. I think i managed to get the cookies and all synced, because when i log in to my wp-admin i get logged inn at my forums as well. Only problem is that i can’t fint the bb-admin panel. It is supposed to be on /forum/bb-admin but that just redirects me to /forum.

When i’m logged in at the forums i cannot find the ‘ADMIN’ link that used to be there before…

The svn is just short for “subversion” which is version control software you can use for checking out code. It’s still a bbpress.org domain: it’s perfectly safe. Just a subdomain.

btw, i added favorite edit link from bp profile with this: <?php if($current_displayed_user == $current_loggedin_user) { ?> (<a href="/forum/profile.php?id=<?php echo $current_loggedin_user; ?>&tab=favorites">Edit Forum Favorites</a>) <?php } ?>

[Michael]

I see, then I’ll wait for a top-level domain. Thanks

What grassrootspa said.

[Michael]

It is supported, and will continue to grow. It will eventually become a canonical plugin for WordPress.

I also thought so at first, but I really love this software – so I’m sticking with it, no matter what.

[tonicarr]

I just read this at the following URL, http://bbshowcase.org/forums/. I am not sure what it means or I may be behind the times. Can someone explain the status of bbPress to me and for those of us currently working with it.

---

” The bbPress Showcase has been discontinued.

The removal of Sam Bauers and the halting of bbpress.org 2.0

was a clear and final sign that there is no interest in allowing

bbPress to become a mature, robust program and community.

By now bbPress 1.5 could have been in alpha but instead

bbPress development has been deliberately stagnated,

which should be a very alarming warning to everyone.

In addition, bbShowcase had only six donations in 2009,

which indicated to me there was no interest in my work.

My code will remain on bbpress.org as open source GPL

for those that wish to use it, however I caution you to

consider bbPress’s lack of leadership before continuing to use it. “

Thanks and I appreciate the update.

@chrishajer:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons/

[chrishajer]

Sorry that should have been directed at citizenkeith:

“_ck_’s bbpress signatures and BBcode Buttons Toolbar plugins”

I just wanted to look at those two plugins and didn’t really feel like searching for them.

Negative. If I point it at /pub/bb-admin/ (the address suggested by the Admin link), the browser gets redirected to /pub/ straight away. If I point at /pub/bb-admin/ without having logged in first, I get a login screen, then after login the browser jumps back to /pub/. Or sometimes again gives the 404.

My installation does not have a .htaccess file, it never had. My config lives in the Apache site config and has just this (next to lots of other unsuspect stuff):

RedirectMatch ^/$ /pub/

I don’t think this is the problem. However, 0.9 may have assumed a config that I never had, which 1.0 requires. Do you have a suggestion?

[chrishajer]

Here is a list of the tables that are created in 1.0. Here I changed the table prefix from bb_ to bbpress_:

http://chrishajer.com/bbpress/bbpress-tables.png

Those are the tables that need to be dropped to start the installation over. You don’t need to delete any files at all.

[Michael]

Doesn’t seem to work. It returned this: http://i.imagehost.org/0831/Screenshot-Dev_station_Mozilla_Firefox.jpg

Not to worry though – I’ll simply adjust the forums to reduce the clutter.

Thanks for your help – I really appreciate it

Replace

<?php		else :

if ( $prev_depth == 1 ) : ?>

<br />

<?php

else :

?>, <?php

endif;

?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>" title="<?php forum_description( array( 'before' => '', 'after' => '' ) ); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><?php

endif;

$prev_depth = $depth;

endwhile; ?>

with

<?php		else :

if ( $prev_depth < $depth ) : ?>

<br />

<?php

else :

?>, <?php

endif;

?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>" title="<?php forum_description( array( 'before' => '', 'after' => '' ) ); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><?php

if (  $prev_depth < $depth ) : ?>

<br />

<?php				endif;

endif;

$prev_depth = $depth;

endwhile; ?>

I think that should work

[COGBones]

Thanks that has fixed it.

[Michael]

Okey dokey – we have something going here. Thanks very much – wouldn’t have been able to do it without you.

Now, there’s one last thing that needs a work-around. If you go to my forum (http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation) and scroll to the Support Forum, there are meant to be forums as far as 2 sub-forums deep. The structure is this:

Support Forum

– Software Developemnt *1

— Child-Forum

-Website Development *1

— Child-Forum

Is there any way to put each *1 on a new line? I’m sure it’s easily done by checking $depth – but I don’t want to play too much in case.

PS: The styles and what not will be changed later – I know it looks a little scrappy now..

Welcome

I see – well it looks really great. I only wish I could do something like that… I probably could, but I’ve never played around with it.

[hoppie]

Backed up everything.

Saved my bb-config.php (but did not need to re-install this, right?).

Saved my my-plugins dir.

Disabled all plugins.

Changed from 0.9 to 1.0 using a symlink reset.

Was asked to enter several config options, such as database name. Did it all.

Installer claims that db was available etc. and declares the job done.

New Forum 1.0 appears, I can login using previous credentials.

Postings seem intact.

However, clicking on “Admin” makes the browser go briefly to bb-admin and then back to the home page.

Clue: after login, the browser claims:

The requested URL /pub/pub/ was not found on this server.

My Forums live in /pub and this was also offered by the installer as default. The /pub symlinks to the 1.0 dir. Manually going there works.

I’m quite impressed with what you’ve done here, Gautam.

I think you’ve done a very creative job with the topic page, though I must admit it is quite intense on the eyes (only if all the posts in that topic are short).

Otherwise, nice job.

[Michael]

Kawasuo: Thanks – I’m glad you can help. The link below is the code I have for the forum list on the front page. I simply commented out anything that is not a category.

http://pastie.org/765956 (page) or http://pastie.org/765956.txt (Raw Text)

Thanks again

Peace, Michael

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

@Michael888: In response to your question in the other topic, I can almost certainly show you how to do that, but it’s a bit hard to explain without having the code for your bb_forums() list loop

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Sure.

In a sidebar, styled with CSS: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/385/capturecr.png

[Michael]

Could you show us an example of how this works?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I figure someone might find this useful, as it took me a while to do properly. The following is some code I’m using to create a bullet point (<ul>) list of forums which nests sub-forums nicely, in my case for a sidebar.

<?php if ( bb_forums() ) :

while ( $depth = bb_forum() ) :

if( $depth > $last_depth ) : ?>



<?php			echo str_repeat("	",$depth) ?><ul>

<?php		else : ?></li>

<?php			while( $depth < $last_depth ) :

echo str_repeat("	",$depth+1) ?></ul>

<?php				echo str_repeat("	",$depth) ?></li>

<?php			$last_depth--;

endwhile;

endif;

if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) :

echo str_repeat("	",$depth) ?><li class="forum_cat"><a href="<?php forum_link() ?>" title="<?php forum_description(array('before'=>'','after'=>'')) ?>"><?php forum_name() ?></a><?php

else :

echo str_repeat("	",$depth+1) ?><li class="forum_subforum"><a href="<?php forum_link() ?>" title="<?php forum_description(array('before'=>'','after'=>'')) ?>"><?php forum_name() ?></a><?php

endif;

$last_depth = $depth;

endwhile ?></li>

</ul>

</li>

</ul>

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

It should give you reasonably clean indenting of HTML too and is XHTML 1.0 valid. Take out the str_repeat() calls if you don’t care about tidy code.

[Michael]

Thanks very much for that – will give it a try the minute I have my top-level domain.
