Okay now the latest discussions do not show up on frontpage because I have attempted to completely reinstall bbpress but it still gets the same error.

[pwdrskier4]

I am getting a new error: Cannot select DB.

My forums were set up and working at http://www.snownation.com/forums/

All of the sudden, now I am getting this error. I have checked the DB settings like 10 times. You will notice on my frontpage at snownation.com the latest discussions pluggin is still pulling info and it has the same login info as does my wordpress setup.

Any ideas???

[livibetter]

I tested on my test forum (no plugins activated), that didn’t happen. The subforums of deleted forum were promoted one level.

Captcha won’t help. All spam software is trained for captchas. If all bbpress forum would use the same captcha, spammers will quickly adapt. Email verification is also useless: every decent spam package allows for confirmation of mail links.

Try more of Turing test. One option is a two-level confirmation: a mail link AND after it is clicked – a captcha. Something new that spam software doesn’t expect.

Or send an email with password and OPT-OUT (rather than confirmation) link. Automated software will click the link, and opt out of the forum.

Or send email verification with text to be typed into url window rather than a link.

Or, send confirmation email which must be confirmed by reply-to rather then clicking a link. Still better, reply-to and type something in the subject line.

[chrishajer]

AndrewMac, did you try the test in this post:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registration-email-not-being-sent-new-issue?replies=15#post-6931

That will confirm if you can send mail from your server. It’s odd that WordPress works but bbPress does not. Is it possible the $bb->admin_email needs to be a real email address for the mails to be sent by your host? Is that a real email account?

Also, are there any mail logs or error logs? Maybe that would provide a clue.

[livibetter]

You need to format the return array of bb_top_topics() on your own.

<?php

/*

Page Name: Highest rated

2007-11-29 14:47:26

*/

$sidebar_area = "forum";

// $sidebar_ibox = "topic";

require_once('./bb-load.php');

bb_get_header();

?>

<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

<h2>Most highly rated topics</h2>

<table id="latest">

<tr>

<th><?php _e('Topic'); ?> — <?php new_topic(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Last Poster'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Freshness'); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php if ( $topics = bb_top_topics() ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

</table>

</div>

<?php

@ chrishajer

thanks for the reply.

My site url is : http://aavaas.com

My forum url is : http://aavaas.com/forums

I have created a test user : bbpresstest

Password is : test

Currently there is only 1 post in my forum – “Your first topic”

When I am logged in the url for the same is : http://aavaas.com/forums/topic/1?replies=1

When I am logged out the url is : http://aavaas.com/forums/topic/1

I believe the later is a pretty permalink whereas the first is not.

Help here is appreciated. My .htaccess is located in the root folder with the following lines:

[vafaaaan]

it was a test plugin .. i tried to understand the db relationships, and i did .. now i know now how to update a post tag .. so there is nothing usable? ok

[vafaaaan]

that was just a test if i understand the relationships between the tables. I can probably write a own plugin that updataes the tags bb_tags etc. but thats not a good solution

[Null]

Nice, I like it.

Suggestion: auto deletion after xx days/hours. As I understand, this has te be done manualy by the admin? (with 200 regis spams a day this is gonna be a day job).

Is this the same mail where the password is in when you registrate? Or do we get 2 seperate mails. Would like to see it in 1 mail then.

Haven’t tested this (I am at work), so if my suggestions are already in, I appoligize

Great! .. im gonna try it right now brb..

Update 1: No mail yet. Dont know if i have set that up correct. Can see this in phpmyadmin, in wp_users..

ID : 2

user_login : xxxxxxx

user_pass : 63db6f94498b383aa4eebb38b9d41505

user_nicename :

user_email : xxxxxx@gmail.com

user_url :

user_registered : 2007-11-26 08:21:45

user_activation_key :

user_status : 0

display_name :

user_activation_key shouldnt be empty ?

Update 2: in wp_usermeta..

umeta_id : 12

user_id : 2

meta_key : act_code

meta_value : 12345678 (eight numbers & letters value)

dammit! this is a winxp test server with wamp.. dont think mail() works here

[livibetter]

Should be used for TESTING ONLY

Download this file

Install:

Put activate.php to your template folder.

Put bb-activate.php to your bbPress root folder.

Put EnhancedRegistration directory to my-plugins

Only tested on kakumei template without other plugins. Currently, it only support user activation. User will receive an additional mail with a code for activation. They can click the link within that mail, or manually navigate to the activation page.

And Key Master can delete user haven’t activated over ## hours.

Possible features in later releases: Registration Approval, Registration Email Verification.

Please tell me what do you think!

Color, bold and underline looks good.

I see the latest discussions are gone.

I see a logo but it’s under the login box, in Firefox 2.0.0.9 anyway. I won’t mess with that at all since you are going to redo it. You could move it over with some left-padding in the CSS if you wanted to.

For now, you could do something like add a text link to the website home, like I did here a long time ago:

http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/

That is a modification to header.php to add that text link, and I think I modified the style.css to move it where I wanted it.

Regarding the cities, where’s livibetter? (seriously, I haven’t looked at it at all…)

Try inserting it again so people can see it and help you get it aligned properly

In your theme, find this around line 21 and change to whatever you like:

a { color: #2e6e15; text-decoration: none; }

a:hover { color: #006400; }

You can change the color and font weight and size there.

> 3. I’d like to eliminate “Latest Discussions”

> entirely.

In front-page.php, on line 11, change this:

<?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?>

to this

<?php if ( 0 > 1 ) : ?>

That originally said “if there are topics or super_stickies” then do the rest, which is show the latest discussions. Changing it as shown will cause it to never show “Latest Discussions” because zero is never greater than one (the statement always evaluates false so the code block is skipped). If you want to actually rip out the code that would display the Latest Discussions, you would delete lines 12 to 41 in the file front-page.php in your theme. Those are the line numbers in the stock file, your line numbers might be different. Delete from

<?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?>

to

<?php endif; // $topics or $super_stickies ?>

inclusive.

I have to think about that one. I imagine there’s a way to do it, but I haven’t ever done it. Since the name of the city is not a link, you’d have to make that a link to that category, and then suppress the listing of the child forums on the front page. Or, you could just create a new front-page.php that links to only those parent forums. Can you post a link to a screenshot of how you accomplished the different cities like that? Something from your admin panel, or a link to the post here that guided you toward separating things into cities like that?

WAIT: is it this that allowed you to separate the cities? I think livibetter could probably help you do what you want there since that was their code initially.

Yess .. i did it..

Wrote some lines that gets a posts TAGS .. how do i proceed ?

Please dont kill me.. im no pro coder..

[chgogrrl99]

Ok…I’m Stuck.

This is what I feel I have left to do to my forum…if anyone can help.

1. I’d like to add our logo with either a button that says “Home” or something indicating back to the main page. I tried to add the logo included in a banner, but it wasn’t aligned correctly.

2. I’d like to make the green lettering a bolder Color, maybe even change the size of the font.

3. I’d like to eliminate “Latest Discussions” entirely.

4. This message board is huge…Is there a way to anchor each city so we can put links on a page on the main site. Example: “Click Here To Go To the Chicago Forums” and they are taken to the Chicago part of the board.

I know I have a lot of questions, but if I can get the answers to them, I can go to bed.

Oh, and check out the forums some of you have been so great about helping me with….

[vafaaaan]

[chrishajer]

If you post the URL maybe someone can help.

If you create another user and log in / log out, does the same thing occur. or is it only as admin that the problem occurs? If it’s only as admin, it’s going to be hard to test by anyone other than you. If it happens to other users (like if you create a test user) then it can be seen by others as well.

[vafaaaan]

hmm seems working .. have wp cats and stuff to the right .. same theme

forum root is.. ehh.. root cant find where to change that to forums.php

Update: Found at the top in my-templates/topic.php and forum.php .. changed <?php bb_option(‘uri’); ?> to forums.php and it works fine i feel happy

Update2: changed in my-templates/footer.php. Removed almost all code

<?php do_action('bb_foot', ''); ?>

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

<?php

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/myname/wp-content/themes/themename/footer.php');

?>

</body>

</html>

So it runs with my WP theme footer

Need to slice up my WP header so i can do the same

Im just hacking and testing so if there is something i can do better say it

Looks a bit weird to have two admin/logins at my top right corner

Update3: Since i had forums.php i change in config.php

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Forum index’;

Looks better

Keep up the good work developers!

[guerroloco]

Perfect, that’s it!

I thought I’d tried this statement already, but evidently not.

Thank you!

[livibetter]

Try forum_name($topic->forum_id);

[Sam Bauers]

Better to use the latest version from trunk than those diff files if possible.

[guerroloco]

Just wondering if there’s an easy way to add the forum title for each topic on the “latest discussions” list on the front page. i.e. I want to add an “In forum”: column to the latest discussion list table.

Something in the topics loop in front-page.php ought to do it…. but what? I tried get_forum_name(), but that takes the forum ID. Is the forum ID available anywhere in the $topic var inside the loop?

[diniscorreia]

Ah, great! I’ve been translating bbPress to portuguese to use on my WPMU+bbPress project and when I try to set the language I get the error as well….

Anyways, I guess I’ll have to try merging the two PO files.

@ganzua, I don’t think you really need to define BBLANGDIR – it works because you have already defined the .mo file in WP config file. You get the error *if* you try to define BBLANG. However, if you leave BBLANG as ”, you won’t get the error.

I actually haven’t tried yet, but I think it make sense.
