I really like the sidebar that appears to the right of a post while you’re viewing it on the WordPress.org forums. Here’s a screen shot of said sidebar:

I’m a complete noob to bbPress themes. I’ve been able to get my WordPress them modified to work with bbPress, basically by taking a bbPress theme & modifying the stylesheet and pasting code from the WordPress theme into the bbPress files. But I don’t know how to create that sidebar. I figure there have to be functions you can call to do it, but what are they? Where are they?

Thanks for any help

I need to add the emails addresses (thus the domains of my sites) in gravatar and that solves the issue. It is elegant and beautiful bbPress

Thank you

I posted this elsewhere but this works for me on the frontpage:

<a href="<?php user_profile_link($topic->topic_last_poster) ?>" ><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></a>

[anandasama]

Yes you can mark parts of a quote, multiquote and it goes directly into tinyMCE.

It even works with editing posts. I needed to uninstall every kind of bbCode plugins though.

You can see the quote in action here :

http://matsuri.moai.se/topic/the-great-off-topic-thread

Just need to fix the Quote from another page (when multiple pages).

Not exactly a problem except I don’t know how to do this.

WordPress MU is in http:// <my domain>/worship/ folder.

BBPress is in http:// <my domain>/forums/ folder.

I have a page in my WordPress MU site that is called Forums. Right now, it displays a link to http:// <my domain>/forums/. What I would like to have happen is that users get taken to http:// <my domain>/forums/ when they click the link for Forums on the navigator bar.

This sounds like some kind of a redirect to me. Is that how this is done? How do I code it?

Thanks

Tony

I believe wordpress is trying to process the request because you have bbPress nested underneath WordPress which is a less common method of integration.

Try changing that .htaccess to this

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^forums/

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>



# END WordPress

Not quite sure I have that right but give it a go and let’s see.

If it doesn’t work try replacing the forums/ line with this one:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^forums/

[_ck_]

That file is not there like you think it is:

http://roadtoanimation.com/forums/my-templates/kakumei/style.css

It’s a 404.

But it might be wordpress interfering with the forums directory since WP is in your webroot.

Strange that it would happen with a static file though.

Triple check that you have

/forums/my-templates/kakumei/style.css

via FTP, make absolutely sure it’s there.

If it is indeed there, download your .htaccess file in your top directory (where WP is) and post it here.

Also, don’t forget to donate for the plugin, it takes a lot of hardwork & time to make it: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=6590760

Hi Guys..

I have just made a new plugin named Social It. The plugin is inspired from the wonderful plugin SexyBookmarks created by Josh & Norman for WordPress (and is almost the same like that)

It automatically inserts itself below the first post of the topic, but you can insert it anywhere on the forums. It will automatically fetch the appropiate feed link, description, etc.

It supports a variety of short URL sites to shorten links, I will improve this feature in the upcoming releases, like managing the links within the plugin itself, etc.

Please report any bugs you face, or request new features.

Here is the link for the plugin:

OK, this is weird. Just weird.

I’ve got WordPress MU running on <my domain>/worship/ (I’m building a site for a church). I’ve got BBPress running on <my domain>/forums/. I installed WordPress first then installed BBPress. Went though the BBPress set up & configured it to use the same cookie keys a WordPress. All is well.

I downloaded & installed the bbPress Integration plugin for WordPress. Enabled it. It spit out a bunch (shown below) of stuff it told me to put into my wp-config.php file. Which I did.

/**

* These defines are required for the WordPress - bbPress cookie integration to work correctly

*/

define( 'COOKIEHASH', 'blah blah blah' );

define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.<my domain>' );

define( 'SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );

/**#@-*/

Everything works fine in Safari on my Mac, but when I go to Firefox, WordPress shows me as not logged in. I click on the Login link & I’m brought to the login page. I enter my user name & password, check off Remember Me & hit Log in. And I’m brought back to the login page again, with no error messages.

No matter how many times I try to log in, this keeps happening. And as I said, it doesn’t happen in Safari.

Any ideas?

I’ve been busy this weekend with church related activities & I didn’t get back to this post until now. I’ve also found the answer to my own question about getting the current page’s URI.

I still have a problem to lick in that my WordPress theme came with a horizontal drop down navigation bar that works in WordPress. I included that code in the header.php & the styles from the original stylesheet for the theme, but nothing is dropping down on the bbPress side. The theme uses a JavaScript file to handle the drop-down logic that I’m including on the bbPress side, so I don’t get it. When I look at the WordPress output side by side to the output of my function, it’s identical. So it has to be something in the CSS. I think.

Anyhow, I’m going to mark this resolved. Thanks folks

Tony

Trying switching to the built in kakumei and then back to your theme.

Make sure each of your themes is in it’s own directory under my-templates

ie. my-templates/kakumei/

Make sure ALL the files are in that kakumei directory.

If all that fails, do a “view source” on your page and look for the line like:

<link rel="stylesheet" href=" blah

and see where it is trying to load the stylesheet from.

Themes in the my-templates directory don’t seem to be applied correctly. They can be read but the thumbnail shows a blank image. When I apply, the forum works, but without any graphic element whatsoever. Looks as though it’s coded in html with the Times font.

[taboo]

It looks great! Looking forward to using it

Googled, searched the forum, it’s hard to create a specific search for something like the above without getting irrelevant results..

Had a dig and couldn’t find the answer….

bbPress 1.0

I’ve noticed throughout the default themes are references to..

role="main"

Firstly, what does this do? .. In some cases removing this from a template file reseults in the file not working.

Secondly, is there an alternative, these lines are causing invalidtions.

It’s not the end of the world, i can live with them, but some info on what they are for would be most helpful, if one of you lovely chaps could help..

As a side question, and this one again isn’t a huge problem, i find tabbing in code in certain files causes T_ error messages, T_SWITCH, T_CASE, depending on where and what i’m editting.. I like to indent the code appropriately when i’m working on it, but as said i simply can’t do this with particular template files..

Any ideas on that one?

I’m using Notepad++ and Notepad2 for editting, same programs i use for modifying WordPress. I’m using the correct encoding, transfer type etc… i’m use to handling code..

[sdv1]

Looks great Thanks for sharing snaps. btw, when it will be live?

[piedpiper21]

You’re saying I should edit the copy in the my-templates directory? I tried that and it doesn’t work. Shouldn’t I edit the original in bb-templates? I would assume that’s what is being read to display my theme list.

Edit: Oh I see, it displays themes in both directories. Changing that line of code has disabled all graphics on that theme though haha. Let me have a closer look at what I messed up.

Edit 2: Okay this doesn’t seem right. I deleted the folder and just copied the kakumei theme over to the my-templates directory. Checked my admin panel and the theme shows up, but with a blank sample image. If I activate it, I get a site that looks HTML coded. Devoid of any graphics and adorned with the big shiny Times New Roman font. The same happens with Kakumei Blue. Hmm, I’ll download a free theme and see if it’s an unrelated issue.

Edit 3: Yep, seems to be an issue with reading themes in the my-templates folder. I uploaded the Crystal theme to both of the folders, same problem. The core theme displays fine, the user theme, not as fine haha. I think it’s time to call in the experts.

24mb is fine. Remember that’s per PHP instance, it’s not shared.

My method does it all inside mysql anyway so the problem will be eliminated. If mysql has to, it will make a temporary table on disk to solve the query and it all happens in high speed compiled C which will always be faster than PHP (even with an opcode cache).

[_ck_]

Wait, I take that back, it’s in the theme, so you can definitely edit it.

It’s in register.php and assuming you are using the default theme, it’s under bb-templateskakumei

What you should first do is copy that directory to a new directory and make a directory called my-templates at the same level as bb-templates, so it would be my-templateskakumei

Then edit the new copy of the files instead of the original and have bbpress switch to your new theme. That way when you upgrade you won’t lose your changes.

I got tired of waiting for error pages that don’t crash the user into the default bbPress theme and logo so here’s a plugin that makes an empty post error message actually stay within your custom theme. I’ll make it into a formal plugin as soon as I make it a bit more robust.

Let me know of other common error pages and I will see if they can be addressed via plugin vs a core hack.

(direct download, save as themed-error.php)

It’s easy to control what template loads, just override it at the end of your header.php and include any other template with any other name from there – then just make sure to load the footer manually and exit before bbPress does the rest of it’s own routine.

[Anonymous User]

Hmmm…

it may be possible to write a short plugin to overwrite and extand the Template-Function.

Actually the post_template() loads only the “post.php” – in functions.bb-template.php

function bb_post_template() {

bb_load_template( 'post.php' );

}

[_ck_]

There isn’t a line long enough to support the extra long tags. What you can do, is UNDO the   that bbPress replaces the spaces with, which will force everything to wrap. I don’t think it will look too good but it’s your call.

Add this to a file called functions.php in your theme folder.

(make a new file if it doesn’t exist)

<?php

add_filter('bb_get_tag_heat_map','wrap_tags');

function wrap_tags($heatmap) {return str_replace("&nbsp;"," ",$heatmap);}

?>

At your web host, you already installed WordPress. So, if you’re using FTP, download bbPress to your desktop, then unzip it. It will be unzipped into a folder called bbpress. Rename that to forums on your desktop. Now, upload that whole folder to your web host, putting it into the same place where the folders wp-content, wp-includes and wp-admin are right now. If you do a directory listing there, you will have these directories now:

forums

wp-admin

wp-content

wp-includes

Now, go to http://roadtoanimation.com/forums/ and you should see your forum installation. If you’ve already started the installation in another directory, you might need to get rid of some tables in the database.

I recently tried the different Bb quote Plugins that exists but neither of them fit my taste in a WYSIWYG environment.

I wanted a plugin with javascript that can multiquote, and quote small parts without reload, and insert to a Wysiwyg environment.

Then I remembered that the “quote-comments” plugin in WordPress works even with TinyMCE,

so I copied it over to bbpress and modified it so it would call the bbpress functions instead of wordpress.

Needed to change some calls to the post_content instead of comments too..

It works fine for me now, but the only problem is that I can’t use the quote link from another page than the form itself. So If Im in a thread with 2 pages, the first page won’t redirect me to the form of the last page.

Somehow I need to make a link with the quote info to get saved (somehow?) and then called into the javascript function.

As im not the best at PhP / javascript maybe some of you here can help me.

I managed so the PHP outputs the necessary info for the javascript to grab. But problem is how to call it from another page with a link to the last page with the form.

1. First I need to make a Php function that outputs a different link if im not on the same page as the form. Alright but how do I send it to the last page and how do I call the javascript from the last page?

I put the files into the my-plugins folder with a folder called quote-comments

Here is the PHP file (It gets outputed below the post) :

quote-comments.php

http://pastebin.com/f6743a79c

2. As you can see the javascript gets called from the Link, so I need to call it in another way when it’s redirected to the last page.

---

Here is the JS file:

quote-comments.js

http://pastebin.com/f74d57ac5

Mark that the addQuote function ISNT used if you use TinyMCE and I set to use TinyMCE = true in the php file.

As im not so good at php im kind of lost here. But it would be nice to make it all work and clean it up and make a plugin out of it.
