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?

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.

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.

[Michael]

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.

Some example output

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.

[chrishajer]

You could also have the plugin auto-load by putting an underscore in front of the plugin file name. So, if this plugin file is named:

social-it.php

rename it to:

_social-it.php

^ and see if it works. If it does not, just delete the file and load the forums again.

Hi,

Just one question : how customized the “menu class=”login”

for this structure :

Thanks and happy news year

[tonicarr]

Thanks! I an now following him on twitter and will keep my ears open for any news. In the meantime, back to bbPress.

[COGBones]

Thanks for the help Ben.

I am new to all this, please could you tell me exactly where to run that code?

[Ben L.]

Somewhere around line 25 of bb-load.php there should be a line that starts with error_reporting(. Change it to error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_USER_ERROR | E_USER_WARNING);

(This has been fixed in the development version, but I don’t suggest using it on a live site)

[Milan Dinić]

Instead of loading zlib via .htaccess, you should use Apache’s built-in module mod_deflate because it is better for server’s performance. By using code below, you will compress all textual content from your site (html, css, javascript, rss). Simply remove type you don’t want to compress from list and it won’t compress after that. Note that you shouldn’t add any more types because other file types can’t be compressed this way.

Just copy/paste this code in your .htaccess file in root of web site. You can use this on ANY kind of website, no matter if it is powered by bbPress or not. Just watch-out that some script you use doesn’t already compress some type, because it will than double compress which will be worse than using uncompressed type.

Also note that on some bad configured servers this can make additional load on servers so be careful (this applies to zlib comrpession too).

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/javascript application/x-javascript application/x-httpd-php application/rss+xml application/atom_xml

</IfModule>

You can test your site before and after with tools like WebPagetest (just click on images on result’s page for detailed information) and Web Page Analyzer. And share your results here.

what do you think about hosting ga.js locally and keeping it up to date?

You shouldn’t store popular JavaScript files (like from Google Analytics, AdSense, StatCounter etc) on your server because they are probably in visitors’ cache so he will not even load that files while visiting your site.

This is because most sites nowadays use Google Analytics and when man without that file in cache visits page that use it, that file is saved in it’s cache for seven days (because Google gives information to browser in file’s HTTP headers) and it is not loaded again until it expires from cache.

[Milan Dinić]

Here are some questions related to translation of bbPress.

Is there any other word for “bozo” that is more common, because I don’t know how to translate this? In 0.9 branch I left this untranslated, but now I want to do complete translation.

What are “voices”? This is introduced in 1.0 branch.

What is “View” in this strings: %1$s » View: %2$s and <abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr> feed for this view?

There is sting “Halting installation!” used in error log on install/upgrade. Does install/upgrade stop at that moment or what happens (I’m not sure how to translate it)?

In file bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php, there are strings REQUEST_URI and PATH_INFO. Should we translate this or leave it (because it is mistakenly wrapped in __() function?

Thanks in advance

[Ben L.]

You set WordPress Administrator to bbPress Administrator instead of bbPress Key Master.

Run this on your database: DELETE FROM bb_meta WHERE meta_key='wp_table_prefix'

That should allow you to log in with your bbPress account and fix the setting.

[tonicarr]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for jumping in, are you / twitter link telling me that BuddyPress is now available for WordPress single? Would I just download the latest version of BuddyPress even if it is MU? Is this it? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/

Thanks for clarifying _ck_ is a female. So am I!
