It depends on your theme design.

In mine, I have four main divs: header, content, sidebar and footer

So on my footer.php, at the top, I put in this: <?php require('/home/domain/www/forums/my-templates/themename/sidebar.php'); ?> and then built the sidebar as I wanted it.

So it works similar to WP but just that you cannot do it through Editor in WP, rather do it directly in the files on the server, correct?

Correct. There’s no theme editor built in to BB at this time, so you have to edit the template file.

And you can use the same GA code from WP to BB without changing anything, but as it’s a different page, you have to edit the bbPress and WordPress templates separately.

So it works similar to WP but just that you cannot do it through Editor in WP, rather do it directly in the files on the server, correct? If I have GA code on my site already, will it help as the forum is just an extension of the domain? Or not, as it is a different page altogether?

Thanks.

[InvTrdr]

Thanks. Where exactly in the header.php do I add it and what is the code to add to it?

Thanks.

[chrishajer]

Just paste the Analytics code in your template’s footer.php.

[InvTrdr]

Is it possible to add Google Analytics code to a bbPress forum? Did not see Editor under Appearance.

Thank you.

[kirpiit]

Thanks Kawauso, it does the trick!

The Case Is Closed

[Well, not so closed, actually, as long as the basic Kakumei suffers from this (although tiny) css bug. Maybe this should be noticed to the guys who maintain the theme.]

Copy and paste this code and save it as allow-images.php

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Allow Images

*/

// You can add more tags here

function allow_images_allowed_tags( $tags ) {

$tags = array(‘src’ => array(), ‘title’ => array(), ‘alt’ => array());

return $tags;

}

function allow_images_encode_bad( $text ) {

$text = wp_specialchars( $text );

$text = preg_replace(‘|
|’, ‘
‘, $text);

foreach ( bb_allowed_tags() as $tag => $args ) {

if ( ‘br’ == $tag )

continue;

if ( $args )

$text = preg_replace(“|<(/?$tag.*?)>|”, ‘<$1>’, $text);

else

$text = preg_replace(“|<(/?$tag)>|”, ‘<$1>’, $text);

}

$text = preg_replace(“|(.*?)|se”, “‘' . encodeit('$1') . '‘”, $text);

return $text;

}

function allow_images( $text ) {

if ( preg_match_all(‘/<img(.+?)src=(“|’)(.+?)\2(.+?)>/i’, $text, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER ) )

foreach( $matches as $match )

if (

preg_match(‘/src=/i’, $match[4]) // multiple src = someone’s trying to cheat

||

!in_array(substr($match[3], -4), array(‘.png’, ‘.jpg’, ‘.gif’)) // only match .jpg, .gif, .png

&&

‘.jpeg’ != substr($match[3], -5) // and .jpeg

)

$text = str_replace($match[0], ”, $text);

return $text;

}

remove_filter( ‘pre_post’, ‘encode_bad’ );

add_filter( ‘pre_post’, ‘allow_images_encode_bad’, 9 );

add_filter( ‘pre_post’, ‘allow_images’, 52 );

add_filter( ‘bb_allowed_tags’, ‘allow_images_allowed_tags’ );

?>

Upload it to your my-plugins folder, create if it doesn’t exist. And activate it.

The error message was “DB Error: cannot find”. Figured out that for some reason the database name filled in during step1 was not caught by the bbpress-config.php file as you can see in the code above. The BBDB_NAME has been left “bbpress” as in default. Changed it in the file and it worked. Now onto Step2.

Thanks.

I just checked out 1.0.2 via svn and I see backpress is included as an external:

Checked out external at revision 191.

It’s actually included in the packaged download here too:

https://bbpress.org/latest.zip

https://bbpress.org/latest.tar.gz

I don’t think using trac to grab the source is the same as actually downloading the package. Maybe that was the problem?

[Mark]

It does.

<?php printf(__('%1$s'), bb_get_profile_link(bb_get_current_user_info( 'name' )));?>

[62gr]

I paste this code

into my-profile-fields.php file

into my-plugins

but its not working !!

this code :

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: My Profile Fields

Description: My profile fields for my lovely forums

Version 1.0

*/

function my_profile_fields( $fields ) {

/* This removes the Occupation profile field: */

unset( $fields );

/* This adds a new optional field called Favourite Band: */

$fields = array(0,’Favourite Band’);

/* This adds a new *required* field called State: */

$fields = array(1,’State’);

/* You must return the array at the end of the function: */

return $fields;

}

add_filter( ‘get_profile_info_keys’, ‘my_profile_fields’ );

?>

I’m trying to install a new bbPress forum at http://forums.morganwick.com. The “wrapper” div is set in style.css (the only file I’ve changed) to have position:static. It appears to be absolutely positioned, and I don’t see anything in either style.css or in the code that appears when I “view source” that would overrule style.css (the only places in style.css where anything is absolutely positioned either have “display” set to “none” or don’t appear on all pages) unless I have to go hunting through JavaScript. Having to deal with absolutely positioned elements is a pain for an amateur developer like me, and I’d much rather have elements appear as part of the normal flow, like I can do in WordPress; what’s the problem here?

UPDATE: I just removed the background image from “wrapper” and added it to “header”, but it doesn’t show up at all. I’m trying to make it look as much like http://www.morganwick.com as possible.

[chandersbs]

I’m sure it has to do with if and else things but how to code it

[johnhiler]

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.

[Mark]

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!

[Mark]

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.

[Mark]

@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
