Hey Joe,

try adding $bb_cache and $bbdb to the list of globals in your config.php file (as outlined earlier in this topic, or ask if you’re unsure). That seems to cause the error publishing articles. That said, right now I also get an error publishing but it seems to work fine – I’ll look at that when I’ve got my dev machine again.

The error for comments I don’t understand. Line 105 seems to be a function declaration: https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/bbsync/trunk/bbsync.php#L105, so how it could be missing an argument I don’t know. Are you using the latest version of bbsync, too?

I just wanted to mention that I’ve finished up my bb-Bluesands theme as a complement to my Bluesands theme for WordPress. Feel free to download and test it out – and let me know if you run across any bugs.

hey guys,

i have little coding experience, i could do a fair pimp of my myspace page but that’s about it – this php stuff is all new to me. I’ve just installed bbpress as a subdirectory of my wordpress blog, and I want to do something really simple: I want to change the color of the rollovers when you mouse over the forum topic. On this guide I read, it said to change this line:

#latest tr:hover, #forumlist tr:hover, #favorites tr:hover { background: #330099; }

(specifically, the ‘background’ tag), but as you can see, although I’ve entered in a bright color and re-uploaded the style.css file, it remains a vague greyish sorta color.. where am I going wrong here?

Thanks in advance folks..

I just installed bbPress into the same database as my wordpress blog. Now I get an error when trying to use it.

test blog: http://www.kidoinfo.com/stage/

forum: http://www.kidoinfo.com/stage/bulletinboard/

Maybe it’s because I don’t understand the difference in one of the setup parameters:

“If you’ve installed bbPress into a subdirectory of your WordPress installation, define $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl as your WordPress blog address and WordPress address”

-I think they have the same address: http://www.kidoinfo.com/stage/

(not this is a test version of the site that is password protected) NOTE: if it’s not possible to troubleshoot this error because the test site is behind a password, let me know and I’ll go ahead and put it in the public site, but I’d rather not until it’s all set up.

Here’s the error I’m getting:

You can check the settings in wp-config.php and see if they’re the same.

[jschleifer]

thanks for trying to solve this chris! I went and tried your options..

“are there any underscore plugins in the plugin directory?”

nope, there’s nothing at all in the plugin directory.

“What if you put an underscore plugin in that orlder, if there are none now?”

well I’ll be.. I simply touched my-plugins/_test.php

and it worked.

that’s just crazy weird.. huh. thanks for the help!

[fel64]

Pop this in a new .php file in your plugin directory.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Page &raquo;

Plugin URI:

Description: Adds &raquo; to the end of topic titles, linking to latest post.

Author: fel64

Version: 0.7

if (!function_exists('is_tags')) {

function is_tags()

{

return is_tag();

}

}



if (is_front() || is_forum() || is_tags()) {

add_filter('topic_title', 'fel_addlatestlink', 101);

}



function fel_addlatestlink($title)

{

global $topic;

$felgtlpl = get_topic_last_post_link($topic->topic_id);

$title = $title . '</a> <a href="' . $felgtlpl . '">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;';

Hi,

I’ve just launched a new site bbpressraw.com. The site provides a set of lean & mean bbPress themes that are designed to enable you to quickly develop your own custom bbPress themes. They should save you a great deal of time if you are trying to create your own theme from scratch.

The themes are compatible with and have been tested with bbPress 0.8.3.

A number of layout variations have been provided, including:

• 1col_fixed: bbPress blank 1-column theme with fixed width
• 1col_fluid: bbPress blank 1-column theme with fluid width
• 2col_fixed_left: bbPress blank 2-column theme with left sidebar and fixed width
• 2col_fixed_right: bbPress blank 2-column theme with right sidebar and fixed width
• 2col_fluid_left: bbPress blank 2-column theme with left sidebar and fluid width
• 2col_fluid_right: bbPress blank 2-column theme with right sidebar and fluid width

For now the themes have been made available. During the next week I’ll be posting some tips to get you up and running quickly!

Enjoy!

[jschleifer]

I just upgraded to the latest wordpress 2.3 and bbpress 0.8.3 and now when I try and access any page I get the following error at the top of the page:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in bb-settings.php on line 173

I checked the bb-settings.php file and the line looks like:

foreach ( glob(BBPLUGINDIR . ‘_*.php’) as $_plugin )

I checked BBPLUGINDIR to see if it’s been set correctly, and it does indeed point to the location of my-plugins.

I’m running PHP5 with a mamp server on os x.. I’ve never had a problem with bbpress before (being using it for a few months now), and only saw this error with the upgrade.

has anyone else seen this, or know how to remove it?

cheers,

Jason

I didn’t have any parent children forums- stayed away from that and kept it all top level.

I basically just modified the basic theme that comes with the forums- the only thing I changed was the CSS, so the index.php file should be the same, aside from the few things I added in to call the “who’s online” list and the like.

<?php

require(‘./bb-load.php’);

$bb_db_override = false;

do_action( ‘bb_index.php_pre_db’, ” );

if ( isset($_GET) && ‘1’ == $_GET ) :

$forums = false;

elseif ( !$bb_db_override ) :

$forums = get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

$topics = get_latest_topics();

$super_stickies = get_sticky_topics();

endif;

do_action( ‘bb_index.php’, ” );

bb_load_template( ‘front-page.php’, array(‘bb_db_override’, ‘super_stickies’) );

?>

Hi, I’ll be working on my bbpress stuff again later in October but thanks for figuring this out. I wouldn’t normally test it with the support forum plugin so I wasn’t aware of that behavior.

Not sure why My Views is trashing the support forum views but I’ll investigate further sometime soon – it might have to do with the way My Views lets you re-order the views, though it should not delete any.

(you’re using v0.08 correct?)

[kchila]

Hey!

So after the rather simplified installation and integration with WordPress, I finally finished setting up the forum section of my website. But after several unsuccessful attempts, I was unable to get Sub-Forums working. All of the forums I create just show up on the home page as a top-level forum. I then try to put it under a parent forum, but it just doesn’t work. I try everything. I am currently running the latest version of bbPress witht he WOrdpress INtegration Plug’-In installed. I ask that someone please help as this is very important towards the deployment of my site

THANKS!

Note private messages are cut off at 2048 characters (1965 in practice, from my testing) because the db field is varchar(2048).

That’s not that much to wordy writers.

I might try to change this to longtext. If I do I’ll post back on the results, and if good, the method.

[stuzog]

I’ve just installed bbPress 0.8.3 in /forums/ in WordPress 2.3, but when I click on a user name or profile to inspect or edit, I’m taken back to the front page of the blog.

Hovering over the link shows [blog URL]/forums/profile/[user name]. Hovering over the Edit link gives [blog URL]/forums/profile/[user name]/edit.

Other than that, it seems to be working, although I haven’t tested it fully.

[lasir]

“Also, those are warnings, which are not good, but the connection was still made to the database. ” thats encouraging lol. Here is my wp-config file.

Also both users have full access(thechamp_wrdp1 and thechamp_risal). I thought at first it was some type of permission issue so i created thechamp_risal to test.

thanks again for the quick response

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘thechamp_wrdp1’); // The name of the database

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘thechamp_wrdp1’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxx’); // …and password

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);

require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);

[rudyc]

Thanks kindly for the reply, Chris. It worked. I deactivated all the plugins, so I will test them one by one. I really appreciate that!

[chrishajer]

That “cannot modify header information” error comes from having whitespace at the beginning or end of a php file, before the opening <?php or after the closing ?>. Check any files you edited and check any plugins for blank lines at the end of the file. If there is no problem there, maybe there’s a problem with the latest release. I haven’t checked it out yet to see.

But, it’s from extra whitespace somewhere, looks like the bb_online plugin?

[andorko]

bbPress is installed in /forums and WPMU is installed in /blogs .

The cookie and database integration works fine.

I am able to access bbPress functions from within WPMU by adding this to the end of /blogs/wp-config.php

// Include bbPress functions in WPMU

define('WP_BB', true); // Avoid duplicate function declarations

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

I’m trying to add WPMU functions to bbPress. I’ve tried adding this to the beginning of /forums/config.php . I’ve also tried putting this in the beginning of the file.

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../blogs/wp-blog-header.php')

When I go to /forums/ I’m redirected to the WPMU sign up page (/blogs/wp-signup.php?new=%2F).

I’ve also created a simple file ( /test.php ) and tried to integrate it with wpmu. It it also redirected to the WPMU sign up page.

Test Start

<?php

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/blogs/wp-blog-header.php');

?>

Test End

Do I need to create a WPMU rewrite rule in the wp_1_options rewrite rulerecord? There shouldn’t be any need for an .htaccess rewrite rule since /forums and /blogs are not in subfolders of either.

Any ideas how to make this work?

[chrishajer]

Try it to see if it works? If it doesn’t, just switch back. I don’t know of an official test.

[Sam Bauers]

The last release of bbPress (0.8.2.1) is incompatible with WordPress 2.3

You can either upgrade to the latest trunk now, or wait a few days when a new bbPress should be released that is compatible.

See here: https://bbpress.org/blog/2007/09/wordpress-23-is-out/

[neyoung]

Kahil, your method works well if your users use their login name as their display name. However if a user who’s login is user23 changes his display name to John Doe then your code looks for this image. /forum/avatars/John Doe.jpg instead of the correct avatar image which would be /forum/avatars/user23.jpg. I couldn’t figure out a clean way to fix this (I’m using wpmu, not wordpress). But here’s a dirty hack.

<?php

$comment_author_dn = get_comment_author();

$comment_author = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT <code>user_login</code> FROM <code>wp_users</code> WHERE <code>display_name</code> = '$comment_author_dn'");

echo '<img id="comment-avatar" height="50" width="50" src="/forums/avatars/' . (empty($comment_author->user_login) ? "default" : $comment_author->user_login) . '" alt="avatar" />';

?>

That code should find images for a user if they use a display name or not.

/shrug

I haven’t fully tested it, but it seems to work ok.

[warmechoco]

In order to get the forum running, I removed the forums where testing posts have been in. Now I have put new forums in the admin section.. But there are none of them showing!!

Not a single forum help me

[5l4m]

Hi, Everyone – My stylesheet loads in browsers using Mozilla’s Gecko engine (FF, Camino) and also in Opera and Safari 3.0.3 beta for Mac, but it is not loading using OmniWeb (latest) or Safari 2.0.4 which use Apple’s WebKit.

Also, W3C Validator comes up with a 404 when trying to validate the forums.

These forums are integrated with a WP installation with no other apparent issues.

http://1tk.org/forums/

Thanks!

[kineda]

After giving up on bbpress over half a year ago, I decided to give it another shot. The software seems to have matured a bit, and after testing some other routes, I figured it’d still probably be the best bet for integration.

Let me know what your thoughts:

Hej guys

I removed the parent category, that’s why you dont see anything. using the newest version (0.8.2.1 ). you can try it yourself, just rebuild the structure in the images above and you will see it doesn’t work…

I noticed that the category in the admin menu jumps back when i refresh the page.

thats what it should look like:

http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/4117/richtigrv0.jpg

and that is what it looks like after refreshing:

http://www.monstrs.de/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/falsch.jpg

changing ex to em didn’t change anything

thanks for your help so far, all!

e: here is a link to a completely new installation. same problem.

Thumbnails are now an undocumented feature in version 0.8.3.

It’s undocumented because I think it ought to be road tested first. To use thumbnails you have to enable the feature in the plugin file itself, it is not configurable in the admin options page.

1. Open up bb-avatar-upload.php and in the configuration settings class, scroll down to the following section:

// Use a thumbnail image (hidden feature for now). 1 = yes / 0 = no (default)

$this->use_thumbnail = 0;

$this->thumb_width = 25;

$this->thumb_height = 25;

Set $this->use_thumbnail to 1 to enable and change the dimensions if desired.

When enabled, whenever a user uploads an avatar a smaller copy is created with the prefix ‘thumb.‘ So the avatar username.jpg will have a thumbnail called thumb.username.jpg (the file type changes with the avatar file type, so PNG avatars produce PNG thumbnails etc).

2. You can access the thumbnail image with the following function call:

echo avatarupload_displaythumb($user->ID);

An image tag is returned with the class name avatar_thumb.

<img src="thumb.username.jpg" width="25" height="25" alt="Username" class="avatar_thumb">

I think that covers everything, let me know if you have any problems.
