I’m running 0.9.0.6 and I’m using _ck_’s bbpress signatures and BBcode Buttons Toolbar plugins.

Some of my users have images in their signatures… they are “top 10” charts from last.fm. The charts are loaded directly from the last.fm website. Unfortunately, the signatures load before the rest of the page is finished. So you have to wait for last.fm to load before the bbCode toolbar.

Is there a way for bbPress to load bbpress signatures last, or at least after the toolbar?

[Michael]

They are both the same.

I see. I haven’t searched for any Subscribe to topic plugins, so I don’t know of any good ones. Matt will be releasing that built-in with version 1.1 – so I’m not sure how long you can wait.

These are the plugins I am currently using: http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/Plugins.png

Some of them do not work, and one of them is mine (General Statistics), which at the moment, shows the newest users.

If you don’t mind, may I have the link to your forum? I’d like to have a look at it.

Peace, Michael

I’ve had this experience as well on 0.9.0.2

Checked the option to move the topics into another forum but they were ALL deleted

The theme is totally bad ass

@Johnhiler: Ah i get it, change $bb_attachments['role']['download']="participate"" to $bb_attachments['role']['download']="read"

Just goes to show that I need to learn more PHP. Thanks for this, Chris. Quite handy.

You could also create a phpinfo file and access it from your browser:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Save that in a file called info.php (or whatever you want) and then access it through your browser:

http://www.example.com/info.php

In there you will have your PHP version and also if compression is enabled.

Inside my loop in front-page.php i want a custom class

like:

<tr class="bb-precedes-sibling bb-follows-sibling bb-child ????"><br />

<td><div class="nest"><a href="http://www.example.com/forum/example">Example</a><br /><small> Examples of examples</small></div></td><br />

<td class="num">99</td><br />

<td class="num">1029</td></p>

<p></tr>

on the place of the questionmarks i would like to have a category id as a class.

so i can customise each category in css

can someone help me out?

Note, for anyone poking around in here looking for documentation (wouldn’t that be great?): bb_post.php as an action has been replaced by bb-post.php — that one had been biting me in sensitive places for a little while now.

I just lost 12k posts from my forum, and wanted to report what happened here in the bbPress forum! I was able to restore the posts thank goodness, but it was a chilling experience.

Here’s the scoop: I’ve always had great success with using the “delete forum” feature before… I would choose the option to enable “moving topics from this forum into [another forum]”, and it always worked great. But recently, I suffered massive data loss while using this feature (on the 0.9.x branch).

I deleted a forum and chose to move its topics into another forum… the forum was successfully deleted, but so was every single topic in the forum! I was able to restore the data from a backup, but still I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone.

It took a while before a friend was able to audit the source code and create a hypothesis around what had happened. The preliminary analysis indicates that the “delete forum and move topics into another forum” routine ordinarily first moves the topics, and then deletes the topics and forum. But if the “move topics” algorithm times out before it can be completed, then the topic data appears to still be deleted even though the move wasn’t successful.

In other words, even though I asked bbPress to move the topics out of the forum before deleting the forum… bbPress appeared to fail to move the topics and then actually deleted the entire forum and all the topics still in it!

WHOA… scary stuff! If this bug really does exist, it could put a lot of bbPress data at risk.

This may only be an issue on slower servers or larger forums (this bbPress install has around 600k posts)… basically it appears that the bug only pops up if the “move topics” query times out.

Two thoughts here:

1) Can any developers out there audit the “delete topic” code and report back on worst case situations: i.e. what might happen if you choose to delete a forum and move the topics, but the “move topics” query times out?

2) In the meantime, until the existence of a bug is confirmed or not… I strongly suggest that you refrain from using the “delete forum” feature! Or if you must, make sure to have a fresh backup and also to doublecheck your topics immediate afterward deleting the forum to make sure your topics are all in the new forum!!

I am very glad it worked. Now I can finally see what your forum looks like.

If you need any help with customizing, don’t hesitate to ask.

I don’t want to be a show-off, but you might want to have a look at my forum to get some rough ideas – such as the way my table columns are structured etc.

Another thing to keep in mind: The ‘Add New’ link on the Latest Discussions table is not so much a great thing. If you like at the one on my forum, you’ll see that I have changed it to ‘RSS Feed’. I did this because people where simply adding a new topic from that link, and not choosing the correct child-forum for it to live in. So, now people have to navigate to their forum to create a new post.

Quite a nice thing to have – especially considering your forum doesn’t show only categories like mine does.

All the best

Michael

First thing’s first, you have a nice forum layout – I like the edits you have implemented.

There are quite a lot of options for you, and which ever one you choose should not make your forum look to ‘full’.

As Chris said, if you want to do it on the front page, it would be as simple as copying the loops that are run on the profile.php file in my-templates. There should be two – but I’m not sure. Don’t have access to my server right now.

The other option is to create a view, just like The one’s displayed at the bottom of your front page. It would be quite a nice idea to create a view for the user’s latest topics and replies – thus having it on a separate page, but easy to get to as the view would be marked ‘See your Posts’, for example.

Now, unfortunately, I can’t help with the setting up of views (I would be able to if I had access to my server). At least you have some options on the table. There are some highly experienced members here that will be able to assist you in setting up a view.

Take care,

Michael

What version of PHP are you running? If you have PHP 4, then change mod_php5.c to mod_php4.c.

You should also ensure that zlib is installed on your server.

[chandersbs]

<ifmodule mod_php5.c>

php_value zlib.output_compression 16386

</ifmodule>

That didn’t work for me btw

[Michael]

Citizenkeith: does it work on your side? I’d like to try this soon.

[Michael]

Have you tried manually editing the theme itself? Try changing the code in header.php within the theme folder.

If it’s not that, it would have to be something with the integration (which I highly doubt) – I do not have enough knowledge with that as I’ve never integated before.

Happy New Year

I have a WP blog that I am adding BBPress to, it loads correctly I have it integrated with WP. When I try to add a custom theme to my-templates, it loads but when I look at the source code the file path for the style sheet, for the custom theme is going to bb-templates not my-templates.

I have checked the permissions for both my-templates and bb-templates and it is 755.

This is the source code:

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.troubledteenblog.com/forum/bb-templates/Crystal/style.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.troubledteenblog.com/forum/bb-templates/Crystal/layout.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.troubledteenblog.com/forum/bb-templates/Crystal/js/tabber.js”></script&gt;

I even put the style sheet in the bb-templates/Crystal and it still does not work.

Help would really be appreciated.
