I’ve just disabled the plugin. I don’t want to reduce the functionality of it at all. Besides, I’m planning to make some changes to my forum – so I’ll probably use bbCumulus when the time comes.

Thanks for the help

Hi all Hope you’re keeping well.

I just picked up a bug (it may just be in my forum though) with the tags system. I was doing some tag cleaning today, so I needed to merge a few tags. I had two tags that needed merging: “User Interfaces” and “User Interface” (my fault).

After merging the tags, I received this error:

http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation/tags

I am using the Hot Tags Plus plugin, but I don’t think it has anything to do with this error.

Running bbPress 1.0.2.

Any ideas?

Peace, Michael

If you’re running a shared host, you should be able to perform a backup yourself through your cPanel.

alexandanthony: It lookas like you’ve modified something when you edited the theme files. It looks like it’s running some kind of continuous loop.

Can you put the code for topic.php (in your my-themes directory) on pastebin.org? I’d like to have a look.

Michael

Thanks.

I tried that code.

The result:

http://domain.com now goes nicely to http://www.domain.com

If I encounter problems, I’ll let it be known.

Add

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]

to your .htaccess (right under RewriteEngine On)

Okay, I just ran this plugin (https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/) on WP and it worked. I now get the ‘ADMIN’ link in the forums when logged in

There’s another problem now though, all the bbPress admin panel graphics are gone, leaving just black-on-white text in a messy layout.. Here’s what i get: http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/6884/bilde2i.png

Any genious sollutions for this?

[Ben L.]

The folder called bbpm should be in my-plugins.

[chrishajer]

I thought the file was written as sitemap.bb.xml originally, which would not overwrite your sitemap.xml file, correct?

Also, that $sitemap_file is normally defined with server $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], so you should be using a filesystem path, not a URL as you have done. Something like /var/www/you/forum/sitemap.xml instead of the url with HTTP.

Ben L. is that how it works? Out of the box like that?

Cause I have no knowledge on how to recode the php.

I’m having a similiar problem. I’m using bbpress integrated with our WordPress site. On the front-page.php page, in the “Latest Discussions” I’m using this bit of code:

<?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a><?php topic_page_links(); ?> by <a href="/wedding-chat/profile/<?php topic_author(); ?>" ><?php topic_author(); ?></a>

Which gives me the users name, and a link to their profile page. The problem is that the link is using their username, which if the user has spaces or dashes, poses problems. I need to get the user_nicename or display_name value from that users record. How do I do this in bbPress? I’ve dug around, but I don’t see any information on the topic.

Thanks!

[Maurice]

This can be done via a plugin. I have done this myself with a old plugin of mine. Don’t have the code with me atm (at work)

[Damien]

Can someone explain how I can pull the total number of bbpress posts made and display them in wordpress theme, and also a harder one to solve, how do I get the total number of posts for a user in bbpress and display that in the users wordpress author.php?

I’ve got intergration happening with shared login/registrations, tables in same DB.

Thanks for any help

John, sure there is no guarantee, but the bbpress development over the last 2 years was never so active as for wordpress.

My Forum is ~ 2years old and I updated only once (to 1.02)

and at the end we have to trust Matt

[Olaf Lederer]

yeah there is a great chance to trash your database

[Olaf Lederer]

@John,

I’m not talking about the plugin but about a core feature, I think email subscription is one of the secrets why forums and blogs succeed. My remark is just about why some “mail filter” is very important.

PS. If I send mail messages from websites I use always a SPF record

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.

[af3]

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

[citizenkeith]

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.

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.
