Hehe, most people talk as though bbPress doesn’t exist.

I personally talk as if bbPress 1.0 doesn’t exist… 0.9 or bust!

I haven’t used Vanilla, so I can’t comment on them… I wish there was more benchmarking across boards platforms for speed. But I haven’t seen much on that front…

[anandasama]

It’s not a deep integration: But that’s something I will try later.

[johnhiler]

You might want to try the new CSS Q&A site that’s affiliated with stackoverflow… http://doctype.com

I have nothing to do with it – but it’s designed for CSS Q&A!

Thanks man. Can I post both codes without them conflicting each other?

Both border radius and mozilla codes?

And using border-radius, do you have input each of the four corners, like in the Moz-code? Or can you just specify one line like the one you gave me?

[Ivaylo Draganov]

Hi, do you notice the little -moz thing in front of the CSS property? That is an internal Firefox only CSS property. IE does not support rounded borders at all (and maybe will not soon). Safari on the other hand and all other webkit based browsers (Chrome, Konqueror) do support it via their own special CSS properties.

So for Safari(and Chrome) the code will be:

-webkit-border-radius: 6px;

for Konqueror (not very widespread but anyway):

-khtml-border-radius: 6px;

and since rounded borders are a property from the upcoming CSS3, here you have the standard definition (which you should also include for the bright moment in the future when all browsers will natively support it):

border-radius: 6px;

Of course using these properties will render your CSS invalid in the W3C validator.

Extended info on CSS3 border-radius:

Cheers

Pssst! But hey – is that a bbPress issue? And why post in “Installation” subforum?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I was hoping someone could do it for me.

Well there’s your problem right there

Making a theme is easy AND it won’t break the source code or become beyond repair. A theme is all HTML and CSS, with a little PHP tossed in, and not the coding kind of PHP where you have to make SQL calls. Unless you want to, of course.

Go to https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/ for the basics. You’ll need this under your belt if you ever hope to maintain a forum without going nuts.

[Marius-]

I use a code in my theme in many places. This is to make the corners on boxes round. It’s this one here:

-moz-border-radius-bottomleft:6px;

-moz-border-radius-bottomright:6px;

-moz-border-radius-topleft:6px;

-moz-border-radius-topright:6px;

IE don’t read it at all. So everything is square and sharp. Strange thing is, Safari on my Mac, only applies it for my Postwindow, but nowhere else. So one box is round, and the rest is square.

Mozilla Firefox however, reads this code perfectly, and applies it to everything I’ve assigned this code to. So the forum looks best in Firefox, but is there a way I can make it look as good in the other browsers too?

[Marius-]

Ah, I have one simple wish too. Maybe you could give me the code to put in right here

A youtube button! Is this possible?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Try define( 'BBDB_HOST', '0.0.0.0' );

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Doy! Max-Width is correct, and it will NOT resize your images and make them larger

Moar Coffee, Less Meetings, Plz.

[Marius-]

Is it then possible to click the image, and enlarge it? or is it just plain and simply resized with no other options?

I read somewhere that if a user posts a small image, this will be enlarged to that size, when using CSS, is this true?

–

edit:

Ipstenu, I tried your CSS code, and that did not work either. But this did:

#thread .post img {max-width:580px;

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I only used Vanilla for a couple hours. I have a knee-jerk reaction to most code and if I don’t enjoy using it right away, or have issues setting it up/themeing it how I want, it gets dumped.

And I’m not comfortable telling you strengths and weaknesses because they’re subjective. Seriously, I say it a lot but it’s true.

Me? I don’t like PMs and reporting posts, membership ‘levels’ and all that hoopla. So for me, bbPress is great because it’s small, simple and I can write plugins for it since I’m familiar with WordPress. But see how subjective that is? You may want those things and see it as a weakness that bbPress doesn’t have them.

Knowing what each products strengths and weakness will help determine if it fits needs.

I think you’re doing it backwards. Start with a list of your needs and your wants. Then go ask each place ‘Can you do this and if so, how hard is it?’

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Sure, just go edit your theme

[Marius-]

Ah you’re the author huh. Yeah well, it’s good you took initiative. Would really appreciate an admin panel for it. Like “what color do you want as background, what features do you want to include” etc. Had a hardass time styling the css in this one. The result turned out good though, so it wasn’t impossible.

However, more importantly, I wish for the option to select text, and one click on button will automatically at a start and end-tag. Instead of clicking twice. This is the number one wish! All the other stuff I can live with.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Pratik, those BB_ definitions should be in your BB-CONFIG file, not your WP-CONFIG file Move ’em over and try again.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

My original post is simply trying to understand *what* makes one of these forums systems better than another (pro/cons).

I’ve said this many times before: It all depends on your needs in a forum.

I’m not trying to avoid the subject, I just think it’s SO subjective that there is no answer. _ck_’s needs are different from mine, mine are different from yours. We may all have some things in common, but not all. Make a list of what’s important to you and then go find a forum that fits the bill. There is no one answer that forum A is better than B and they’re both better than C but worse than D except if you want to do foo and bar … You see how that gets weird?

I didn’t like Vanilla when I tested it, and I certainly didn’t find it easy to integrate with WordPress. In fact, their Single Sign On page says it’s still in Beta.

Also most apps talk like their competitors don’t exist not to be mean, but because it quickly turns into bashing and no one likes that. The beauty of open-source is that anyone can do anything with everything

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Did you try it with CSS? You shouldn’t need a plugin with this.

This should cover it, it’s what I’m using and I’ve had no more page borking:

post.img { width: 600px; overflow: hidden; cursor: pointer; }

You may need to adjust width as needed.

Hi.

I am in the process of integrating bbPress with only my WordPress theme, not login or cookies. I have placed this in bb-config.php:

<br />

if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {<br />

include_once( '../wp-config.php' );<br />

}<br />

and this in bbpressbb-templateskakumeiheader.php:

<br />

get_header();<br />

echo_css(); // function from WP theme's functions.php<br />

The WordPress header loads, but some of the CSS isn’t present from the WordPress theme when I don’t have echo_css(); in the code. The CSS is produced by the WordPress theme’s functions.php, which doesn’t appear to be loading. I can call functions from functions.php inside bbPress, including the one that outputs the CSS, but it is placed at the wrong point in the code (inside the body tag instead of head,) even though I run it immediately after get_header();. I would also like it to be flexible in the event I change the theme.

So my question is: Is there a function inside WordPress to process the functions.php? Should I be in the WordPress forum?

Thanks a lot for your time and help!

Nick

When you do it for the code line make sure you put it after the echo part, ie.

echo "// BBcodeButtons.push

The reason why there is so little documentation is because there aren’t any donations for my plugins so there is no development/documentation. There is no support, keep that in mind when you take something for free and then want to customize it.

While this plugin is not available on the bbpress site, I post this information here to reach as many user as possible:

Just noticed that the old version of the bbpress SEO pluging doesn’t work with the current bbpress version (1.02).

Because the old method to handle and meta keywords stopped working we did a quick update.

This is a required update for user of bbpress 1.x!

Using the old version with bbpress 1.x will result in loosing rankings search engine result pages!

What is changed:

• We fixed the code that is responsable for the meta keywords and the “noindex” option.
• Optimizations of the admin page (information, spellcheck).

Download the new version here:

[Marius-]

Does that exist? The language-list is kind of a sad sight, but i see no “No” there. Any Norwegian users here?

Without it, I’m gonna have to open every single php file and translate

[Marius-]

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL……..

Not to shout but HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLL

I sat up all night removing code completely, and it’s this easy? Just two slashes? Poor bastards couldn’t write that in the fucking readme file.

–

It’s not that easy, when removing the “Code” button this way, I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/michael/public_html/forum/bb-plugins/bbcode-buttons/BBcode-buttons.php on line 29

[neilogic]

I did have the same problem but in different context where I never wanted to dive into the code because the theme I was making was to be used by someone else and thus I just wanted the person place it and activate it and it should worked rather then him diving into the code and replacing the files.

In the end what I did was , as BBPRESS 1.0+ supports the use of functions.php in theme files . so i just copied the function from the function.bb-template.php and changed the funciton name a bit and then replaced it in theme files.

Example : like “You must login to post.” is in post_form function in function.bb-template.php file. I copied the function to functions.php in my bbpress template. renamed the function from post_form -> post_form_edited and made the replacements I wanted and then in my theme files where ever it was using the old function of post_form() i replaced it with my new edited function post_form_edited().

like in your functions.php after you copy the post_form function and change it to post_form_edited you can find the line “__(‘You must log in to post.’),” and change it to anything you want. And use the new function in your theme. Like this you won’t have problems upgrading the bbpress installation too in future.

then I dived in the theme files and replaced all the post_form() with post_form_edited() and voila it worked. But in my case I knew what I was using like the plugins and stuff and thus i tested it with everything first.

I hope this helps you out . Some of the stuff I told above has been applied to the postform in http://forum.ubuntu-in.info.

[richcon]

Is there any way to replace that “You must log in to post.” text that appears to non-logged-in visitors with a more friendly login / registration form?

I’m a pretty skilled PHP coder and theme author, but from looking through the bbpress source that line seems to be hard-coded? I’m hesitant to start mucking with bbpress’s core files themselves (makes upgrading a pain), so is there any way to change that with a plugin?

Thanks!

[_ck_]

Simply put two slashes in front of any code you want to disable.

ie.

// BBcodeButtons.push(new BBcodeButton('ed_ol','OL','

','
','o','','ordered list'));

// BBcodeButtons.push(new BBcodeButton('ed_li','LI','[*]','[/*]','l','','list item'));";
