So I installed the latest version of bbpress 0.8.1 and wordpress 2.1.2. I followed the instructions on this website: http://www.bui4ever.com/web-itecture/how_to_integrate_wordpress_and_bbpress/

There are a few CSS problems which i’m sure i’ll be able to iron out but the worrying thing is when i try to post any information – a new tag, new post, new topic; I get the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/pjqkug/public_html/forum/config.php:3) in /home/pjqkug/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275

Anyone think they can have a gander and help?

A couple of things:

1) You didn’t configure the config.php file correctly and that’s why the site has no CSS: http://my-cool-forums.example.com/bb-admin/install.css should be http://rigelastronomy.com/bb-admin/install.css

2) You need to actually run the installer, much like WordPress

[peiqinglong]

The first problem is in your header, you have:

<php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>, it should be <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> and with the second import, I'm not sure why style.css is just floating around outside. It should be pointing to your forum so it should be: @import url(“/archas/ram/wordpress/forum/bb-templates/your themestyle.css”);`

The second problem is you have to edit EVERY file in the template. Make a new folder in bb-templates, call it whatever you want and copy all the files from kakumei theme except for images directory into your new folder and change all the files that have <bb_get header()> to <get_header()> and don’t forget the footer and sidebar.

The third problem is you need to style the bbpress stylesheet to match your theme…

Hey Community,

We are getting closer to the launch of our site, and we are still having trouble with our bbpress title lengths interfering with our wordpress layout.

You can see our bbpress forum locations spread through out the site.

http://208.109.218.158

Is there any way to put a limit on the length of titles so they don’t break our site? We are using the same setup as described above.

Any help would be appreciated, even if it means some sort of a temp css fix to hide overflow.

Thanks,

Orion

Screw it, I just manually added in the straight URL path to the style.css file instead of worrying about it. It’s working on my live version, so it’s no biggie to just manually add the straight URL to the stylesheet for localhost… whee!

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://localhost/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />

I just hope they get this crap fixed soon though.. /Yes, I’m an impatient prick.. wheee! LmaoAOAOAO….

Someone please tell me how I screwed this up: My forum won’t display using the proper style sheet. When viewing the page source, I see that in compiling the header, one of the slashes, between the domain and the path, is reversed:

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.ghoulash.comforums/my-templates/kakumei/style.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />

I’ve reviewed my config file and all of the relevant .php files, but I can’t find where the slash gets reversed. This is an issue in Firefox on Mac and IE in Windows. It’s not an issue in Safari on Mac, which forgives the reversed slash.

I’d appreciate any ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

Chris, lovely code, works straight away. Implemented in my forum, the button instantly disappears and double-posting is impossible. Thanks a lot!

If anyone else wants to implement this but is unsure how, go to your theme (or Kakumei?) and open post-form.php using Notepad.

Find the line that says:

<input type=”submit” id=”postformsub” name=”Submit” value=”<?php echo attribute_escape( __(‘Send Post »’) ); ?>” tabindex=”4″ />

and change it to

<input type=”submit” id=”postformsub” name=”Submit” value=”<?php echo attribute_escape( __(‘Send Post »’) ); ?>” tabindex=”4″ onclick=”this.style.display=’none’;” />

(Could someone please add the overflow: auto property for posts in this theme’s CSS? It’s incredibly inconvenient for code running over several lines.)

[spencerp]

Just a note, and it would be nice if this was FIXED in core soon please! I currently just did a fresh install of the TRUNK on localhost, and have the same problem as Kirkk here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/700?replies=36#post-4849

Stylesheet URL is this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhostforum/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css" type="text/css" />

That plugin Trent posted is applied, and is NOT working… Please, fix this issue soon guys.. And by the way, no, my localhost copy of the forums are still borked.. >_<

And course! My config.php file settings are right.. I’ve done this numerous of times before.. wheee! Even used the original config.php file from before, when it was installed before and working.. she still borked regardless sigh..

Thanks chrishajer.

Since I did not yet open the forum, I don’t see a reason to try and patch it to work. (especially when I don’t know how people are supposed to login if I remove the TEMPLATE)

I hope the issue will be resolved soon, so I could open up the forum

Cheers,

Tal.

[chrishajer]

Did you put your custom themes into folder under the my-templates directory?

Have you viewed this sticky and this was no help?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/693?replies=2

Also, please provide a URL where this can be seen. Sounds like the path to the CSS is borked. The URL also helps someone determine what sort of hosting you’re using.

After I upgraded my forum to v0.8.1, the CSS for any theme no longer works. I get a 500 error when trying to access any CSS file for a theme. I have tried chmodding everything and I just don’t know what to do.

[macwise]

Got this working splendidly…Here’s the link:

http://www.babyquestions101.com/forums/

I would love any comments on the look/feel of the site. Feel free to drop me a line on the contact form and share comments/suggesstions.

One quick suggestion to those implementing this: If you have the luxury of installing this BEFORE you implement a complex CSS design, it’s best. Many of my classes became obsolete when I installed the plugin, because the hierarchy of the pages with the forum/subforum lists changed.

This, of course, was expected, and normal. However, it will just save a redesign once you’ve implemented this new versatility. (Of course, installing this plugin just two days before launch wasn’t exactly conducive to allowing me to take it a little break).

[macwise]

Maker, Yes indeedy…this is definitely SamBauers plugin being used. It’s great. Be sure to read the whole thread, because if you don’t update every forum by adding it to a category, then you WILL suffer the consequences! (you’ll get some nifty mysql errors until you fix it).

Also, my suggestion to ANYONE using this patch…use it BEFORE you implement your design. I had quite a few things that had to change when I implemented it, as the post/category/forum hierarchy was quite a bit different from teh standard install. My CSS classes got ALL out of whack.

Good luck!

[talgalili]

hi peoples.

My forum is right to left (rtl), and the css is broken under Internet Explorer viewing. any suggestions ?

(The problem – can’t see “log in” area)

This is a problem with the path to the CSS, check the source:

http / vindicationdurotan.combbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

That backslash should not be there. There have been a couple threads about this lately:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/795

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/820

IE can deal with the backslash but FF cannot. Once you correct that slash problem, things will look fine in FF.

[Trent Adams]

The forums here and the blog are done with CSS and their own themes meant to look the same. The tutorials are a way to have bbPress using the WP theme itself I believe.

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Yeah John, it would be nice for sure! The thing is that most people use bbPress standalone and not WP integrated. It isn’t too bad just getting used to CSS and editing the template of your theme at bbPress. Just changes to header.php, footer.php, front-page.php and style.css mainly! Good luck!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Here are a couple of good places to start (I have never done this, just edit CSS and template to match myself):

What I’m probably going to do is, just use the CSS file codes that I had, for when using the Forum Category enhancement with my bbPress forums. It’s not going to be a big deal if those Forum Category CSS codes are in the stylesheet anyway.

For those running the Forum Cat enhancement, or not, I’ll release a Gathering theme version for either route. A) One for the plain Jane bbPress users, and One for those that are already using the Forum Category enhancement.

Please note though, that this theme will be an AS-IS type of deal!!

I’ll try to give a helping hand, and try my best to provide “support” for it, but, I’m just a really, really busy person sigh. I barely have time to sleep and stuff… Besides, if any problems arise, your answers should be, or, could easily be answered here, since it’s basically just a theme. If you happen to have issues with the Forum Cat enhancement patch itself, I’m sure Sam would be happy to help you..

Anyway, here’s what’s on my TO-DO list, starting now!

1) Delete all the current plugins on my forums, so I have a total plain Jane bbPress install to work with…

2) On the localhost/computer .. make up the “Gathering” theme on the latest Trunk files of bbPress. With, and without the files containing the Forum Cat enhancement edits… (Again, this theme should (generally) still work for .80, however, not sure about the backwards compatibility for the forum Categories enhancement though)…

3) Download the latest copies of the plugins I deleted, tweak the new ones, upload and install them…

4) Try and get some kinks out of the theme, which happens when using some certain plugins sigh..

5) Release two copies of the Gathering theme, one for plain Jane bbPress users, and one for those already using the Forum Category enhancement…

6) Then I’ll probably apply the theme I just spent the last 3 days on, non-stop, which I put up on my Vindictive Bastard blog… I’ll apply that on my spencerp.net blog then too.. and make it a theme for bbPress as well … whee! What you think? http://www.vindictivebastard.net/

7) I’ll try and actually get some sleep!! Geesh, I’m beat!

Anyway, I’ll keep everyone updated on this.. thanks for your time..

That is unstyled because the path to the style.css file is incorrect. Can you look at the source of that html page and find the line that begins:

<link rel="stylesheet"

My guess is that the path to your stylesheet is incorrect. There have been a couple threads about slashes being changed to back slashes improperly:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/700?replies=28

Even more relevant for localhost:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/730?replies=9

Here is a trac ticket for the backslash issue:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/594

HTH

edit: there will not be slashes before the double quotes in your html source around stylesheet , unlike this post. It’s a bug they’re working on.

[kirkk]

Ok thanks…

I installed that plug in for the wrong headed slashes but it is still same.

I cant see my site styled on FF2…

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://chezmauricekusadasi.comyeniforum/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />

[kirkk]

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://chezmauricekusadasi.comyeniforum/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css" type="text/css" />

This is the site

Could it be the reason that i see my site unstyled on Firefox2 ? You can see the slashes arent arranged in order. Some of them head to left and some of them right ?

[chrishajer]

I was only going off this reply by peiqinglong (different user?):

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/643?replies=17#post-3815

Trent,

That’s the problem, there is no box to uncheck them anywhere in their individual profile, where they are listed as Bozos, etc.

“No box to uncheck” was the part I caught. I’ve seen it mentioned before too and wondered if that was part of the real problem. (edit: maybe since this is a few weeks old this is the one I was remembering)

This was a different, but possibly related problem (where unchecking the box never “stuck” – you’d always be a bozo – that was in 0.73 though I think):

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/312?replies=4#post-1525

Also, I didn’t follow this from mdawaffe:

There’s nothing in the admin for this (sad, I know).

You need to edit that user’s profile.

But, as key master you CAN edit the user’s profile, from admin. So I didn’t follow this part either.

I thought the crux of the problem was that there were no boxes visible in the admin, where I have boxes, as expected. That is all

edit: PLEASE change the style.css to include some styling for [blockquote] – my quotes were quoted up there but you can’t tell. Indent, different font, different BG color, something.

[linickx]

yeah, this forum is still online, feel free to play, I’ve been testing in this thread, but my css needs updating as not all effects are visiable (i.e. quotes are marked up in html, but css show’s white on white – doh !)

[Trent Adams]

I know there are only a couple of us viewing this on the weekend and I am not sure what to change to get the CSS changes for colors. The only thing we have so far for editing the size is:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/67?replies=5#post-295

The color is determined by the #hottags portion of style.css in your theme! There you can change a few color things around!
