What i do in the current stable version is to register a new view called all discussions. It works pretty neat.

[Sam Bauers]

I’ve added the ability to do this to the development trunk. If you want to backport this to an older bbPress, you can follow the changes here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1786

Then drop the function <?php bb_latest_topics_pages(); ?> wherever you want it in the front-page template to show pagination.

[geltoorch]

Yes, I realize. So how do I make it a possibility?

[Sam Bauers]

Latest discussions on the front page is meant for latest discussions… so paging has never been a possibility there.

Forum pages do provide paging of topics though.

[Sam Bauers]

Another thing left is to try it using the default template instead of the custom one you are using and seeing if that changes the behaviour.

You can just switch to it temporarily, then test and switch back.

[geltoorch]

Thanks, but there will eventually be hundreds of posts and it’s just ridiculous to show 1000 posts on one page.

Any other ideas?

[chrishajer]

I don’t know of anything for adding page links for the latest discussions, but there is this plugin for changing the number of items being displayed. Maybe that will help?

[geltoorch]

Hi,

I’m trying to figure out how to add a “next page” to the latest discussions. I have a lot of different forums but want people to see all the content aggregated on the “latest” section because it captures all the topics.

So is there a way to put in a “next page” link on the front page and subsequent pages? I’m not great with php, but if it takes some coding, I could probably manage if someone can give me directions. If it works out, I’ll probably make it into a plugin for everyone.

Thanks!

Gives errors on the forum and topic .php pages.

Hi Sam,

I just deactivated all my plugins and had another try with the testuser account but it will still change the PW if I do a Profile change (User or Admin induced).

[dark-siren-sally]

When I use my keymaster account, and try to edit a user, there’s a part of the administration section that says, “Allow this user to” but there’s no form, text box or anything else to fill in after it. This line appears between “User Type” and “Custom Title”.

So what’s the point of the “Allow this user to” line? Looking at the code, it’s supposed to be for specifying specific user capabilities (like whether they can add posts, edit posts etc.) but it doesn’t seem to be fully functional yet. Is this expected?

If it helps I have the latest bbpress version, it’s 0.9.0.2.

Thanks.

[chrishajer]

What version bbPress are you using? Do you have access to error logs? Maybe you have a problem in a template that is erroring out and causing the blank screen after you post.

I made a test post and I did indeed get stuck on bb-post.php, but my post made it through (and can be deleted now, since it was just a test).

[nekita]

Ok,

I assume that would be the shared key under wp_users in the DB (user_pass).

First I noted the hash for my regular testuser account (1). Then I made a profile change for that with the admin and wrote down the new (now changed) pw hash (2). Then I made another change with the admin to testuser and, again, I get a different pw hash (3).

However, when I aquire a new PW with testuser and change that to the original pw for testuser (4) from step 1 so that pw (1) and (4) match, the hash is again different even though it’s the same pw.

Then I made a second testuser account and compared the hash after an admin profile change (5) with the hash from (2) and they differ.

Hope that makes any sense.

This a very good thread, might even want to sticky it. I’ve tested this and it works and is needed if you really want true cookie sharing

[eschen]

Something I could not find in this or any other thread concerning integration of 0.9.0.2 with wp 2.5. Problem is that a login to either bbPress or WordPress will log a user OUT of the other, can not be logged into both at same time. Common problem but different question. Several people have suggested adding the following to the bb-config.php:

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

Questions: are these really needed, should the full hash number (wordpressuser_full.hash.number) also be included and if so, where do I find the hash code? Using Firefox, the I see two cookies when logged into either bb or wp:

wordpress_test_cookie

wordpress_cabxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Secret keys are identical for both bb and wp config files. Also I have:

In bb-config file:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->user_bbdb_name = ‘xxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_user = ‘xxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_password = ‘xxxxxxx’;

$bb->user_bbdb_host = ‘xxxxxxxxxxx’;

$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’;

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’;

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_cabxxxxxxx’; //identical to what is shown in Firefox cookie

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.alleventsadviser.com’;

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.alleventsadviser.com’);

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

$bb->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

In wp-config:

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$wp->cookiedomain = ‘.alleventsadviser.com’;

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.alleventsadviser.com’);

$wp->cookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

$wp->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

A registered user is shown in both bb and wp.

Thanks for any help.

[nekita]

Yes that’s it.

See, I have this testuser account with it’s own PW. Now when I logon to

Admin–>Admin Panel–>Users–>Edit testuser

and change, say, the Custom Title with the PW blank, confirm with ‘Update Profile’ , logout of Admin and try to logon to testuser again, the old PW is no longer valid.

[chrishajer]

You are the only one who can resolve this, unless you have local help or remote help you trust to look at the connection details provided by your host, and you config, to find the problem.

If there’s a failure to connect, maybe the host setting is incorrect? What are the settings in your WordPress config? If you’re using the same database, then the settings here will be the same, other than the table prefix, which comes later. That should be unique inside your database.

[farleys-bow-tie]

I created a database with full privileges and a user on the host and then entered it into the script. I received a message saying there was a failure to connect to the database.

The user name and password fields were populated with the admin login and pass from my WordPress installation. I used that login and name to create a user for the database, and then I re-ran the script with the default entries. Still can’t connect.

Any help would be appreciated.

There have been so many new features added in the past few weeks in the trunk that there’s no way it’s ever going to be stable this month (October).

Even if they release another alpha (or beta but that would be crazy), that doesn’t mean it’s stable, it means it needs to be tested and debugged, thoroughly. Sam only has a limited environment to test things. Problems with PHP4 or Windows come up constantly and other things he can’t easily test. There’s also a good chance plugins will become broken (again/still).

Do NOT use the alpha on a live, active site. Period. Seriously. Not kidding. It’s not a trick. Alphas are for testing purposes only. Objects may be closer than they appear.

If you ignore this warning, you are on your own.

[chrishajer]

That’s a really good point. I’ve been using subversion so long I forgot they packaged up the alpha release and released it on the download page. In that case, I have no idea how to tell the revision, other than going through files and comparing them the specific revisions in the repository.

For this specific problem, though, you need r1649 which includes the change that Sam says fixed this problem. The bb-admin/admin-functions.php file in the archive you downloaded and the latest alpha are different. If you’re feeling adventurous, you might want to download a later alpha version and see if it fixes this plugin problem for you.

These alpha version should not be used on a production site, FYI.

[chrishajer]

What revision of Alpha did you install? Looks like ticket 924 took care of the problem in revision 1649. The latest 1.0 alpha is r1755, which includes that change.

[nekita]

I’m having a “small” but rather annoying issue with my bbP install (bbP latest Alpha, WP 2.6.2, non-integrated with kakumei template).

Now when a user’s Profile data is changed on the Profile Tab (either by the user himself or any Admin/Keymaster), this users PW receives a reset leaving him unable to login with his old PW and he’ll need to request a new one.

A temporary solution seems to be to let users confirm their old PW on the Profile page everytime even if they only want to change other data like their name.

However, this is of course only a workaround for the user himself because the Admins/Keymasters don’t know the user’s PW.

For now I settled on changing privileges etc. directly via the DB which will leave the PW intact, still it’s quite a bit of extra work.

Is this a known issue with the Alpha release?

Thanks a lot

Lars

chrishajer,

Thanks for the response and input, I appreciate it.

The spelling error is corrected.

The Ryan Newman News And Information page is completely separate from the Racing News Digest.

I started Racing News Digest as a little project just for me….and of course that is not what it is now.

But Racing News Digest is currently at

http://racingnews.ryannewmaninfo.info and the forums are at http://racingnews.ryannewmaninfo.info/forum/.

You can currently access that site through http://racingnewsdigest.com and my next project is to get it off the ryannewmaninfo.info domain an get it onto racingnewsdigest.com.

Now, as far as the drop down menus.

I am using IE6 and Firefox 2.

I am a little stumped on this. I don’t see the problem at all on the Ryan Newman Information site.

I do see the problem at the RND forums though. It seems to disappear at the start of the forum page or more specifically where something starts on the forum page (like words or a form or something.)

But this problem does not exist on the RND site.

I COULD REALLY USE SOME SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THIS. That would really be appreciated but I will keep working on that today while watching the race!!!

The signature, I agree, I just got it in there for testing and playing. My signature will probably have a little more in it.

Also the social network icon don’t have links. I figured people could go to the profile page to access someones info.

The social networking deal is something I modified from bbsocialize. You can check that out here.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/enhanced-profile

Maybe I will at least add a link to the profile page in there.

Thanks for any help or comments you may have.

[cabal79]

Thank you so much for going the extra mile and making a video, that was awesome.

I just leeched the latest Trunk and tried to let it create the bb-config on it’s own and now it worked, still can’t find the earlier syntax problem but it’s running now.

Thank again!

Rob
