Anyone know if Lynda.com is about to do the latest WordPress, (let alone bbpress?) They covered using WordPress.com 2.6, but not 2.7 yet, and have about 3 courses on Joomla.

I’m there to learn Adobe CS4, and have ambitions of learning Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Indesign, etc and delusions of grandeur that I might one day understand my mac almost as well as my wife. (Who’s a VERY professional graphic designer, but a web-illiterate like I currently am). So I paid up for a year at Lynda.com (and will claim that on tax), and sat through 10 hours of CSS training and 3 hours of XHTML and am now starting on Dreamweaver. All this slowed down by Christmas, kids home for 6 weeks in the Australian summer break, and my messing about with Joomla! (There are some things I like about Joomla, but some bad experiences with trying to modify their templates left me a bit blech…. as well!

Yet I hear there is a state of the art Dreamweaver integration pack for $60 that will let me style up WordPress themes in DW! Woah! That almost won me over and gave me delusions of grandeur about one day donating a few state-of-the-art templates to the WordPress world as advertising for my own WordPress theme’s business.

And then the kids came in demanding ice-cream, and reality slapped me across my fantasising, drooling, delusional face.

So… in this vulnerable state of mind, I need a hug. Cult like it is, this “choosing software before you know software” business and frame of mind!

As a bit of an activist with other causes (and having had a little exposure to marketing, not a lot but enough) can I just comment that I think it would be better “press” if bbpress had some more features turned on in this forum? I personally really rely on email notification that someone has replied to a forum, and only check my RSS about once a day. (It’s all inconvenient). Instead of just clicking “Send post” I have to then click RSS, and then click Google Reader when that comes up, and then remember to check my RSS. I think the vast majority of bulletin board users like email notification of a reply. Is there a reason bbpress decided not to showcase some of their best plug-ins on their leading forum?

Anyway, so tired I’m nearly hallucinating. Night night, and no offence meant by any of the above.

Did you try any of the WordPress-style tricks?

<?php $topics = get_latest_topics('exclude=3' ); ?>

<?php $topics = get_latest_topics( -3 ); ?>

[_ck_]

frooyo make sure you upgrade to the very newest version of topics-per-page

it’s tested working fine on 1.0 trunk with both pretty permalinks and regular

> I wouldn’t wait.

Sorry if I did not understand it clear.

Do you mean that, starting from scratch, it is far better to set up and test with the 1beta version that the 0.9 one?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Okay, the fix (one file) did not work. What did work was re-uploading everything from the latest trunk build.

Leaving the stuff below to show I recognize I’m a tard

Sam, it’s really NOT fixed.

On a BRAND NEW post I get this

<a href="http://thisis.my/link"">This is my link</a>

TWO quotes at the end. TWO. Not one. And I can’t edit ’em or they break worse. They ONLY work if I leave out quotes.

Hi,

i have installes the latest 1.0-Alpha-6. When i login as admin i cannot see the Settings Menu. I have full administrator rights.

All is see is Users and Manage

Any idea?

Best,

Karl

[deadlyhifi]

come on, someone must know how to do this.

I can limit it to one forum with this:

<?php $topics = get_latest_topics( 1 ); ?>

but I want $topics to get forums 1 and 2 (but not 3).

[deadlyhifi]

I managed to do it with

if ($topic->forum_id != 3)

but then it’s still counting them as part of the loop therefore it ends up with ‘Number of Discussions to display – Number of discussions in that forum’.

How can I do it so it just leaves them out but leaves the latest discussion length intact?

[deadlyhifi]

Ipstenu – thanks for replying. On another test installation where I’ve been experimenting with integration the registration is working fine through bbP. Not sure why it wasn’t on the other installation I was running.

I tested this plugin and it is working on my live installation now.

I think front-page pagination should be added to the core. It is a great enhancement.

[_ck_]

Front-page pagination works using topics-per-page in both 0.9 and the latest trunk.

topic-views plugin has nothing to do with pagination.

Update: wait, I see the trunk now corrupts the urls after a couple of pages.

This is one of those things they keep breaking in the alpha and I will fix once they stop playing with it.

This is why you don’t use the alpha.

I’m not going to bug fix just because you want to use the alpha on a live site.

I’ve now posted 0.0.5 with a workaround for 1.0a’s url corruption during pagination.

Remember if you use pretty-permalinks you *must* add the rewrite rule to .htaccess in the readme.txt

After doing some reading I am going to assume someone is going to tell me to use the alpha 6 version of bbpress? Would it be wise for me to do the whole setup from scratch, re-uploading wordpress and then testing bbpress again?

[Fernando Tellado]

Ipstemu, I’ve checked it in Safari too and they worked fine (in Mac, by the way)

Thank you,

You ever wake up in the morning, and say WTF (What the Fudge) was I talking about??? Sorry, I must have been extra sleepy to ask such a dumb question. But, thanks for reminding me…

[chrishajer]

I think this is because the server is using PHP4. I believe you need PHP5 for that to work in that release. It’s been fixed in the latest trunk.

That only works for FireFox, fernandot

Basically the urls are (assuming your bbpress is in a folder called ‘forums’ and you’re using pretty permalinks)

http://domain.net/forums/rss/ – All posts

http://domain.net/forums/rss/topics – All topics

[Fernando Tellado]

That RSS you demand is integrated in bbPress. In your browser navigation bar, if you click to the RSS icon it shows you the list with the two RSS feeds availables. One is for latest topics and other one is for latest messages in all topics. If you see my forum ( http://forowordpress.es/ ) I’ve added two links to both in the sidebar (redirected to feedburner as you can see).

[Famous]

Is there a way to have an RSS for all the latest posts in all topics? Thanks

[Ryan Hellyer]

Hi,

I’m running the latest 1.0 Alpha release.

I’ve set up deep integration which works okay. However, for some reason wp_head does not seem to be working at all.

Any ideas on how to use wp_head within bbPress?

[reclaimyourskin]

Thanks for your reply chrishajer, much appreciated & sorry about late reply (i got bogged down with some other work). I am using the latest unstable version 1.0. I am using this version because the site is not finished so I don’t expect to launch it for a while – I thought I might as well get use to the changes while I can.

Anyway, the site in question is http://betting-forums.net/beta/

On the homepage the latest tab is current dark grey/black. When a user clicks the racing tab (or anyother forum tab) I want that tab to change colour to dark grey/black – basically so that the user knows what forum they are currently are on.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

[John James Jacoby]

Good call. That alleviates one problem.

On to the next… Now all of the JavaScript loads properly and when clicking the “add to favorites” link, the ajax kicks in and works as per normal and makes it look like the link was added. The link actually shows in the database as a favorite, but the theme fails to load them correctly.

I’ve tested this on the stock template also with the same results.

Removing the WordPress integration from the bb-config.php file brings everything back and they work just fine. Comparing with WinMerge the source of the same page with and without that integration, they are identical. So somewhere something is getting in the way.

Hello.

Installed wp2.7 in root dir, and bbpress alpha 6 in sub-dir. Enabled permalinks, added code to htaccess in sub-dir.

Test 1. Logging in to wordpress admin.

Navigate to comments: shows logged in as admin user

Navigate to forum: not logged in

Navigate to forum admin: not logged in

Test 2. Logging in to bbpress admin.

Navigate to comments: does not show as logged in as admin user

Navigate to wp admin: logged in as admin

Is this how it’s supposed to work?

More info:

After adding the following lines of code to the wp-config file:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

This does not change anything except, if I am logged in to the WP Admin, I can not log out. Clicking Log Out presents:

“You are attempting to log out of The Site

Please try again.”

Am I missing something with the code above? Should I be adding the domain name somewhere?

I appreciate your help.

Blocking a user “breaks” their password. Unblocking them is supposed to remove the gibberish from the password field in the database. “Inactivating” a user does not break their password.

With that said, blocking/unblocking works on my test forum, so I have no idea why it wouldn’t on yours.

[deadlyhifi]

When unbanning people (setting them back to ‘member’) it states their new role within the admin, but when they try and log in they are still banned.

Manually re-setting their password solves the issue.

I presume this is a simple issue of the role not being updated properly. The problem does not exist when changing from ‘inactive’.

In 0.9.04 this is. Not tested it in 1.0 yet.

thanks – in the end i used a PHP redirect on front-page.php which seems to be working fine. i moved the tags and other sections from front-page.php to forum.php which worked (doing it the other way around didn’t work).

thanks for replying.
