Did you paste the code into a my-profile-fields.php file, and move it into your my-plugins directory… then activate the plugin?

[62gr]

sorry but Its not working

Is there another way ?

For example, put in the code style.css ?

[snails07]

@batrachoid are you using IE 6 or IE 7 because I just checked the site in IE 7 and the login form and registration info were almost completely hidden.

I’ve fixed the problem now, although it still doesn’t look quite right in IE 7, but at least it can be seen and people can register now

[Mark]

@batrachoid,

? It’s right above the login form.

Looks good, the only thing I noticed you might want to address is that when you’re not logged in and viewing a post page, the “You must log in to post” appears floated to the right and a little above the “New Topic In This Forum” header.

Honestly can’t say I’m a fan of the green, and I’m not too sure what the red, green and white dots are for either?

I don’t want to be the only person with issues, but I’m sure you guys are capable of handling criticism. Outside of those two things, I think it’s looking pretty darn snazzy. Can’t wait to see it go live!

It’s a microwave dinner world… I hate registering on sites that have a mile long page full of demographic information that is an absolute invasion of privacy – I usually move on when I come across those. But when registration consists of username+email+submit… if it ain’t microwaveable, it ain’t worth the effort, I guess.

@gerikg,

Thanks for the link, I downloaded that plugin to give it a go… but apparently it isn’t yet compatible with 1.0.2 as it won’t activate. Just keeps returning a failed notice.

[chrishajer]

That very simple error means that the file is not there, or maybe it’s there but has wrong permissions.

Is this file present:

'/XXXXX/StealthEmployed/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bp-log.php

If not, FTP the files up there again maybe one was missed. I don’t think it has anything to do with WordPress because it’s bb-settings.php complaining about a missing bbPress file.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

bbP’s database is essentially the same as WP’s that’s how I can actually work out how to manipulate it most of the time. Basic functionality is the same, just different variables so you can get the table name for forums, etc. Give writing it a shot though, it’s not hard.

[crguy]

Fixed it.

I logged into phpMyAdmin

Default Database Setting on My Server:

MySQL connection collation: utf8_unicode_ci

I changed it to utf8_general_ci and deleted the bb_ tables in the database and removed the bb-config.php file and went through installation again.

All appears to be good now.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

I’d do this but I simply haven’t got the time. It’d be easy enough to store meta data if you added an action hook for ‘bb-post.php’ that got all the event-related form data from the post form and WP’s database handling makes storing it a breeze, so that wouldn’t be too hard. Throw in a ‘bb_head’ action hook to pull up data for a given topic (do a is_topic() check and check the forum ID, that’s floating around in a global variable iirc, probably $forum), load it into global variables and then let those be added in by the template. Main issue for me would be the testing and actually having to support something after I write it for once

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Easiest way would be to add <?php $post_forum = bb_get_forum( $bb_post->forum_id ); echo $post_forum->forum_name; ?> inside your theme’s rss2.php, after it says <?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : ?>, possibly inside the <title> part.

i.e.

<title><?php post_author(); ?> <?php _e('on')?> "<?php topic_title( $bb_post->topic_id ); ?>" <?php _e('in')?> "<?php $post_forum = bb_get_forum( $bb_post->forum_id ); echo $post_forum->forum_name; ?>"</title>

[Olaf Lederer]

strange is that without these replacements the posted code / content is formatted as well.

the make sense of you have all posted html elements without any whitespace.

Back to the reason why I started this topic, it’s not an important one right?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Use:

overflow: auto and max-height: 100%

to give it a nice scrollbar if it’s too big

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

That code seems to work fine here, what problems are you having? Apart from not having any limiter to keep it at 10 topics anyway.

[bbiSimone]

I’m trying to show the last ten posts in my sidebar, but I am not entirely succeeding, what am I doing wrong? I thought I’d just need to adjust the code from latest discussion a bit. Obviously it doesn’t work like that.

<table class="recent_posts" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<?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></td>

<td><small><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></small></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>

</table>

So how can I call the latest ten posts in the sidebar?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Try putting this in your stylesheet:

/* Tags */

#front-page #discussions {margin-left:inherit;width:inherit;}

div#viewdiv,div#hottags,div#topic-tags,p#post-form-tags-container{display:none;}

It hides the tag-related things in a basic Kakumei install

At the moment, I’m actually hardcoding the information for an event page, into a php file. It’s not the best solution ever, I knows.

I was hoping that someone here would want to code an events plugin.

Basically this is what I would like it to have or what I have in mind:

You browse to the section of the forums where it says “events”, you click create a new topic, then it will ask you to fill in the following fields:

Name of event

Date of event

Name of place

Address of place

Bands (since I run a music website)

Topic description

The output of this will be as you can see in the screenshot.

http://www.metalsuriname.com/images/event-plugin.png

I hope you get a bit what I want as a plugin.

I know I can’t ask for a plugin to be made working for my own website only, perhaps some section can be made optional (the band section, that could be custom?), apart from that, I think this plugin will be beneficial to a lot of users.

I really need this plugin, if you like you can add me on your gtalk.

navin.poeran@gmail.com is my email.

[kirpiit]

Is there any rule one can set in order to prevent the hottags to spill over the footer?

I have this into style.css

#front-page #hottags {

position: absolute;

top: 0;

left: 0;

width: 150px;

overflow: hidden;

}

but it does not seem to be enough: http://www.kirpi.it/r/page/2

delayedinsanity, Thanks a lot for the clarification. I found your response prompt & sane (unlike your name)

[Olaf Lederer]

Hi,

I have some trouble with code posted without using backticks (i’m using a Geshi syntax plugin)

I noticed that the function “bb_autop” inside the file “functions.bb-formatting.php” adds new line characters before and after each html open/close tag (ul, li…). Responsible for this modification are these two rows:

$pee = preg_replace('!(<(?:ul|ol|li|blockquote|pre|p)[^>]*>)!', "n$1", $pee);

$pee = preg_replace('!(</(?:ul|ol|li|blockquote|pre|p)>)!', "$1n", $pee);

why is this replacement done?

[QuickD]

The purpose of a plugin is to allow non expert people like myself to use all of their intelligence to figure out how to download such plugin and so they can make use of it and improve their user experience. It is not to pretend that there is a plugin by inserting code (which they wouldn’t have a clue how to do) in an already non compliant plugin and then search the internet and insert another item into the code of the non compliant plugin (with current version of the software) and hope it works.

I really do appreciate your help and guidance and suggestions, but I am a layman when it comes to computers and when I am looking for a plugin, I am really looking for a plugin and something that I can just download and have work.

[Mark]

Tis magic.

[chandersbs]

Wow, it worked.

This is the code I used:

<?php if (get_forum_id() == 29): ?>

<?php bb_load_template('filename.php');?>

<?php endif; ?>

Same concept for bbPress. You could make all those plain text if you like, they’re built that way by default for people who need to translate their sites.
