Thanks for that Chris, v helpful.

Your text seems a tad bigger than mine but I think i might have found some of the issues.

1) The stylesheet specifies “Lucida Grande,Tahoma,’Bitstream Vera Sans’,Arial,sans-serif” and I’m not sure it was tested on all of those fonts.

There’s quite a large difference between the way Lucia Grande and Tahoma look on windows (and people with Safari on Windows can now have Lucia Grande; but its not there by default), and at 12px and above Tahoma and Arial start to look differently too…

2) In comparing what I can see on the forums and your screenshot, I’m getting 2extra words per line.

Either way, it’s a drop in text size of a considerable amount. And a drop in the amount of space that the text is given in comparison to the old theme (not that an increased avatar doesn’t help the conversation but…)

3) On the forum listing, since last week, some of the text has been of a bigger size than others. Specifically:

#bborg-discussions table td div {

font-size:14px;

}

Edit: I have no extrnal css stuff going on, which i put down to laziness

[kevinjohngallagher]

Is there any update on the insanely small text?

It appears (according to firebug) that the font size is set to 12px, but then it’s been made smaller by some later style. For me it’s currently looking like a 8 or 9px font size (which is incredibly difficult to read since we dropped the amount of space the text is in by almost 40% to 540px).

The margins and spacings look a bit weird/forced as well, almost like it’s using the old version of the 960 grid.

Also, as soon as the discussion includes more than 2 posts, 20-30% of the screen becomes useless whitespace.

Anyway, I’m testing this on Firefox3.6, latest Chrome and Opera 10 on Windows 7 and vista – and my iPhone.

Thanks,

Kev

P.S. The blog section’s a total disaster area also, good thing it’s not been updated in over 4 months now – otherwise people might look there for info!!! haha, don’t worry, thats not likely.

bbPress looks in its folder and the folder directly above it for a config file. If you move bbPress out of the phpBB folder or move bbPress into something like [phpBB folder]/bbpress/test/[bbPress folder], it should work. Don’t modify the phpBB config file.

Coming at this as a software engineering problem I cant see why a both/and rather than either/or situation shouldn’t prevail. Let me explain, as it’s not particularly outside the box for it to happen.

I write a lot of automated tests for the code I produce day-to-day and that means I need to isolate the most important pieces of business logic from how they are invoked. For instance, a given request comes into the a webservice telling it to create a user for the system. I would separate the code that handles the webservice part (pulling parameter data from the incoming HTTP request, etc) from the code that then creates the user. I would isolate the steps, wrap automated unit tests around each, and be done.

Applying the same thing to bbPress, there is some core code that handles the management of forums containing topics, that contain posts by users. This code is packaged into a clean unit of deployment – the WordPress plugin – and there is absolutely no reason why the code shouldn’t also have a second wrapper that allows for its deployment stand-alone from the main body of a WordPress installation.

Just as I might have a webservice making calls to a body of well-tested code in my day-job, I dont see why a cleanly written WordPress plugin shouldn’t make calls into the tested bbPress core code. The body of WordPress code provides additional services that another wrapper could also provide – the core of bbPress should be unaware of the actual physical storage mechanisms being employed, or how it’s being invoked (assuming its written correctly).

At the end of the day the conversion to a WordPress plugin should bring health to the codebase – a level of focus on what is most important (managing structured conversations in a forum/topic format), and an abstraction from what is not important (that is, the underlying physical storage, web-hosting, etc).

yep they said it’s mod_sec. I’ll report back when I’ve retested it.

our forum is here:

http://www.copsandrobbers.net/messageboard/

It has been working fine for about a year. Yesterday I removed a few plugins relating to ping.fm on the WPMU side which shouldn’t affect anything in bbpress (although you never know…)

Now users are reporting that they can post, reply but the second reply fails with a 404.

They also cannot edit the post.

I have checked via FTP and both of these files are present:

http://www.copsandrobbers.net/messageboard/bb-edit.php

http://www.copsandrobbers.net/messageboard/bb-post.php

Any help would be appreciated

Please feel free to log in and post on the test thread.

[mikkelsen]

I’ve checked the users table, and the email addresses are correct. I’ve now had three people test it, and the last one actually got the email with the new password.

I’m using bbPress 1.0.2.

EDIT:

The second test user also got the email. It seems like something happened to me, or me and the 29 first users. My ID is suddently 576, and it should be 1 I think.

Hi all,

I have a wordpress website, let’s say its http://www.mysite.com. WordPress is installed in the website root, so that when you navigate to http://www.mysite.com, you get the wordpress blog. I recently installed bbpress at http://www.mysite.com/bbpress.

One of the first plugins I installed is BB Wysiwyg editor, but it fails to work properly. After some debugging, I found the following:

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.gif is correctly displayed on my browser.

[jpg]

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.jpg is correctly displayed on my browser.

[css]

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.css causes wordpress 404 error page to show up on my browser.

[js]

http://www.mysite.com/bbpress/my-plugins/bb-wysiwyg-editor/js/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg.js causes wordpress 404 error page to show up on my browser.

[txt]

Just for kicks, I created a new file called test.txt under that same folder, and it is also displayed correctly.

Needless to say, all of the above files are physically there, I can clearly see them on my ftp client. So, something is going on with certain file types. It seems like wordpress allows some files to be correctly returned to the browser, while others are banned or something like that.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Are there any config options that could solve this issue? I’ve been googling for quite a while without finding a solution.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am using geshi library in wordpress for syntax highlighting. This is implemented using a plugin (code colorer).

Geshi library is also used on my bbpress forum (bbpress is not integrated with wp).

I am using sql query to show latest bbpress posts on wp homepage. The issue is that I have to include bb-load.php to run the query, which causes the error that geshi is already included (since wp included it in header).

How to resolve this issue?

One option is to use wp conditionals so that geshi is not loaded when its is_home()

Another way is to use RSS parsing instead of db query to show the forum posts on wp home.

For some reason, I don’t want to use either of them at this time.

So, how can I “unload” geshi.php from wp/bbp on my wp home?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

I can confirm that the latest bug fixes do correct the problem – great work guys!

People cannot use IE to place ratings on plugins on the wordpress site.

For example rating the “share and follow” pluing with IE give this error page….

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/share-and-follow/?rate=5&topic_id=13964&_wpnonce=0de7c56cd6

on screen error

“Your attempt to do this has failed.

Please try again.

Back to WordPress Plugins.”

This has only been tested and not working with IE8. It will most likely exibit the same problems on every version of IE.

[Ryan Hellyer]

Thanks for testing it. I’ll hopefully get back to this in a few weeks.

Strange I didn’t notice that bug with .html being missing. I guess it was so obvious to me I just glanced over it.

Hi _ck_,

thanks for this mini plugin for bbPress 0.9. I will test it today in my develop enviroment.

On my live installations (trunk version 1.x) it seems no fix for super stickies is needed. Super stickies are stickies on the front and in its original forum.

Markus

[Ryan Hellyer]

Yes it’s good for testing, that’s why it is released as a beta.

It seems to be working fine on the one site I installed it on, but I guess I mucked up something in the instructions so I’ll need to sort that out – probably in a few weeks time.

[_ck_]

Here’s a mini-plugin I whipped up to fix the behavior of bbPress where a sticky that is made to “stick to front” (aka “super-stickies”) gets removed from its original forum.

Instead, now it will show as a regular sticky in its original forum but also as a super sticky on the front page.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Super Stickies Fix

.................................................................................................................

*/

function super_stickies_fix($where){return str_replace("topic_sticky = '1'","topic_sticky > 0",$where);}

add_filter('get_sticky_topics_where','super_stickies_fix');

?>

Tested in bbPress 0.9, in theory it should work fine also in bbPress 1.x

You can remove the line of all dots, it’s just there to fix the wrap problem for code on bbpress.org 2.0

[Discontinued Account]

If you want I’ll allow you to test it on my site

1. I can’t do it myself.

2. Its good for testing, correct?

Hi, yes is the same problem happan on endurodoc, now I put all on a web site test,

Well, I have some part of it live on my test forums – http://forum.gaut.am/ (I think I won’t be sued for copying the design.. lol.. I will release it after I have finished it.)

There are many pages still which need to be changed on this site like profile, profile edit, favorites, views, etc.

I have made some changes like pushed the search box up (on the left side of login bar), made a function for generating topic table (it becomes easier to tweak if a change is needed in the table), and another function for generating feed box in sidebar.

[_ck_]

Oh and the font-size on the forum can be fixed by adding this to the end of the stylesheet.

body {font-size:100% !important;}

Everything scales because of the CSS reset and tests well in stylish for me as I can now read everything without squinting.

I installed a fresh copy of bbpress and during the installation process I was asked if I wanted to connect it to a wordpress database.

Now, when I register a new account on wordpress, it appears as a new account on bbpress.

But here is the rub. I have added a plug in on the wordpress side on the registration menu. You have to click to agree to some policy. Since this plugin does not exist on the bbpress side, if I register a new account on the bbpress side, and try to use it to log in on the Wordperss side, I get an error that says “you do not have permission to ….”

How do I make the registration I have formed on the WordPress side match the Registraion process on the BBPress side. Although the database is shared according to my tests and how I installed the latest versioin of BBPRess, the registration and login pages are not the samel

Here is the registration on the wordpress side showing my custom plugin

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/Athono/WordPress/arguemaxregistration2.jpg

Here is the registration on the bbpress side.

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/Athono/WordPress/arguemaxregistration.jpg

Maybe there is a way to make the bbpress such that when they click on the login link it directs the user to the login for the wordpress side (and also if they click on the registration link on the bbpress it goes to the registration on the wordpress side). How would I go about changing that? Is it html code or php code? The page http://www.arguemax.com/bbpress-1.0,2-2/bbpress/ has the login and register links the link for login goes to http://www.arguemax.com/bbpress-1.0,2-2/bbpress/bb-login.php and the link for Register goes to http://www.arguemax.com/bbpress-1.0,2-2/bbpress/register.php . How do I change that?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

And the link to the forums in the menu bar suffers from the old breadcrumbs bug (yay for testing). It tries to link to “https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forums/&#8221; which redirects to “https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/&#8221; which obviously isn’t real.

The problem is that the link for the forums is <li><a class="current" href="forums/">Forums</a></li>

It should be <li><a class="current" href="/forums">Forums</a></li> instead

[yoyopop]

CioboMario, this is the same problem I had. The files do not contain an extra space before the <?xml but when output the error comes up. Try replacing your files with the latest versions – https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1181

[Chip Bennett]

@bingster loot:

I will try to address that shortly. I don’t have a Mac with which to test, but I’ve been tidying up the CSS in my WordPress theme from which I ported the bbPress theme. So, once I also propagate those changes to the bbPress theme, hopefully it will work better for you.
