Hot Dang! I finally got my radio station web site up and running using bbPress! You can see it here: http://tannagh.com … as you can see, the front page isn’t your out of the box bbPress front page. It’s actually driven by a completely different database on a different server all together. It rocks! Getting that one page to work as it currently does was a big pain. I still have some work to do on the site, like getting the search and request functionality working, but just getting what I did was a big hurdle. I’ve now got a handle on how bbP works, the rest should be fairly smooth. *crosses fingers…. arms…. legs…. hairs… knocks on wood*

Go ahead, take a look, poke around a little. Just don’t sign up for the forums, as I’ll be clearing them out again after some testing. To get to the forums themselves, click the link in the left hand “TR Listener Forums”. The new front page was rendered using a plugin that I’m developing to integrate with the station’s database, creating a new file in the template to display the info, and creating a new root file “forums.php” which is an exact copy of the original index.php file. Index.php is then routed to the new front page file in the template.

Some stats:

Marina, in the front-page.php template file, you can change topic_page_links() to topic_pages($topic->ID) and get the topic page links with the … in the middle (shows just beginning and ending pages.)

You still have a problem when there is a long topic title that fills the space for that table cell. You could put a new row beneath the topic, on the front page, so all the topic page links are in a row beneath the topic title. In fact you could do that with the topic_page_links() as well and not use the other function. You might want to test if there *are* topic page links before creating a new row, otherwise you’d have a blank row if there are no page links.

You could also do this in your CSS:

#front-page #discussions td {

white-space: nowrap;

}

But that would just make the cell not wrap, which will just break the layout further.

You could do this:

#front-page #discussions td {

overflow-x: hidden;

}

But that just hides whatever won’t fit. That’s not a good solution.

Hi!

I was trying to show the latest threads when you get a bbpress 404 page.

I just copied front-page.php code into 404.php template but it didn’t show anything

Why?

[nuttycoder]

no probs glad you sorted it.

[Anonymous User 1502623]

Looks like I’ve fixed it – I just re-downloaded the php file and overwrote the existing one. Bit of a fluke but it’s done the trick. Thanks for your help anyway!

[chrishajer]

The member id is recorded in the database when the tag is added, so if it’s a member doing inappropriate tagging, you can deal with them individually. Normally, regular members won’t sh*t where they eat. It’s not something I would worry about. Instead, install _ck_’s Human Test plugin to keep bots from registering right off the bat.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/

Also, I think it’s been like this for a while with tags, going back to the 0.73 release I think.

[nuttycoder]

Just downloaded it and had a look in the code there seems to be a lot of places with the break tag in what line numbers did you edit in to start with, I’d suggest looking there see if you notice where the extra break tag is.

[Anonymous User 1502623]

It’s called ‘bbpress-latest-discussion-for-wp’ . The only file in the zip is ‘BBpress.php’. Hmm. I’m reluctant to re-install it as it took me ages to get working in the first place! >.<

[nuttycoder]

it will reside in what the file contents for wp_bb_get_discuss_sidebar() are located am not sure I haven’t got that plugin what is the plugin called?

[Anonymous User 1502623]

Hmm yeah, I see that now you’ve pointed that out. The code just reads this though on the page:

<div class=”video”>

<b><p>

<img border=”0″ src=”http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk/wp-content/themes/revolution_magazine-40/images/community.png&#8221; width=”290″ height=”18″></p>

<?php wp_bb_get_discuss_sidebar(); ?></b>

</div>

I’ve searched the plugin editor as well as the core plugin files but I can’t find the bit with the double
tags? Any idea where they’ll be?

[nuttycoder]

looking at the source code you have a double break tag remove the second break tag and there won’t be such a big gap.

I do indeed. It’s probably a simple thing.. just can’t find it.

[nuttycoder]

do you mean this section:

Hi, I used to have ‘display last poster name’ checked on BBLD, but since I’ve taken the check off, it’s left a gap inbetween the post topics. How is it possible to get rid of the gaps? thanks

I want to install bbPress and I am currently using WP2.7

Should I install the latest stable version (Brubeck) version 0.9.0.3,

or,

the latest test build of the unstable version of bbPress is 1.0-Alpha-4?

[chrishajer]

So, what is your next question? Ask one question about your bbPress installation and we’ll work on that.

If you would like to prevent spammer registrations, I would install the Human Test plugin by _ck_:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/

If you would like to install Bad Behaviour, there was a How To posted a while back:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bad-behavior-for-bbpress-howto

And using the built in Akismet (plugin may need to be activated in your installation) will help as well.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

The latest SVN seems to fix this, though it throws a new error.

#1016 has been opened.

[Huda Toriq]

Thank you for your response. I’ll take a deeper look into the BB_Query class.

After reading this question, do you think of a plan to extend the bbPress live plugin so it can transport the query as well?

I think it’s a great idea. Just my opinion

[beardownarizona]

I’m currently testing both versions of bbPress on my site, and I can’t seem to find any way to get the forum to send the registration email to new users from version .9.0.3. On 1.0.3, I have been using the SMTP Mailer plugin with great success…is there anything similar for .9.0.3?

Thanks

I tried creating that test.txt file first and it failed with the same problem. Looks like someone else got the information you needed anyway.

[Ehegwer]

Howdy!

Just wanted to see if anyone had a fix for a salt value. I’m working on installing the latest bbpress alpha 1.0.4a intp wordpress mu 2.6.5 with working buddypress integration. I can log into wordpress and bbpress independently, but the values aren’t passing.

Here’s how I’ve mapped the keys and salts (notice one is missing):

????? –> WordPress “auth” cookie salt

SECURE_AUTH_SALT –> WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt

LOGGED_IN_SALT –> WordPress “logged in” cookie salt

AUTH_KEY –> BB_AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY –> BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY –> BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

I’ve tried almost everything, and was hoping someone had a solution.

Cheers,

E

Not possible using bbPress Live plugin I’m pretty sure. You would have to do separate calls and then merge them somehow.

It’s probably possible using the BB_Query class inside bbPress though.

[Sam Bauers]

The warnings are now gone in the latest trunk version. There may be other issues to do with users not receiving roles automatically when they visit the bbPress site.

[the_Wish]

Topic renaming fixed in trunk.

Is this supposed to be fixed in the nightlies as well? I installed the latest one yesterday and the issue is still persistent.
