I might as well start off the topics in the new forum for “Pimp My Press” with my forum, http://onvertigo.com

I am using a custom theme that I am also using for my main WP site at http://trentadams.ca and it really the second major theme that I have used on it! The site used to be really large with friends and family and after changing servers and no ‘easy’ way to import in the entries, I just started over until we can get a bbPress to bbPress import/export function (*crosses fingers*).

I use the following plugins:

Admin Add User

Allow Images

Allow YouTube (embedding)

My Avatars

Memberlist

Mobile bbPress

Post Count

Private Messeges

QuickTags Comments

Custom Profile

User Timezones

I am setting up another install for testing of all plugins, so stay tuned!

Cheers,

Trent

Hey Atsutane,

I was just going to post that I figured it out. On my last set up I was using a dedicated server with a local host for the DB, but this time I was running into an error with shared server and externally hosted DB. With the dedicated server I simply used a path in the BB Press Location field. When using a simple path on my shared server I was given the error, but when I changed it to the full url (http://mysite/) the plugin worked!

Thanks for such a great plugin, one of my favorites!

Best,

Orion

The setting is missing. U need to configure the setting first inside the option page.

Hey Community,

I am starting up another site, and I am setting up the Latest Discussions Plugin. I have installed and integrated WP & BB. Once I activate the plugin and use the call for the latest discussion on the wordpress page I am given this error:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1]

SELECT * FROM topics WHERE topic_status = 0 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT

Any ideas what might be going on here?

Thanks,

Orion

[Trent Adams]

Just joking around really! I just have a habit of getting the basic install up and working the way people want and then try including WP content, changing themes, adding plugins, etc so they can track what they did when they see further problems (if any exist!). That is my funny way of saying ‘break things” afterwards

**Edit**

I tried to test out your forum again and the same error is still there. Let me know when you get that sorted out and I can try and work with you to get this working.

Cheers,

Trent

I recently upgraded to the latest bbPress version. I was using a plugin which integrated my users with Worpdress previously (and would like to continue to do so).

Something went terribly wrong though on the upgrade. This version is now looking for users in the table bb_users, and it should be looking at the WordPress table. So now I cannot login even as admin because there’s nothing in the bb_users table! I’ve fine working in SQL, and I think all I need to do is add/modify some fields in the bb_users table.

So here’s my question? How can I upgrade the status of a user to administrator in phpMyAdmin? After I login, I can activate the WordPress integration plugin an be all set.

[Trent Adams]

There is a wordpress plugin that might work out for you. Hopefully no real major changes for WPMU.

I’m trying to get a call from inside my wpmu install to show the last ten posts/threads from my bbpress install.

is there a simple way to get this ? (they are both stored in the same DB)

like <?php getlast10topics_bbpress ?> i’m really curious if this is possible.

thanks for any help

> Is the ‘forum’ the “forum” I want to remove?

No. It’s a little more complicated than that. In fact, that part you say needs to be hacked, needs to be left completely alone. Really, you are asking for a world of pain by attempting this. It took me hours to write and test the slugs support. Seriously, just rename your forum directory – it’s not worth the hours you will spend.

[Nola1974]

Ok, i uploaded and overwrote all of my files with a fresh archive and I’m still getting the same behavior. This makes me think it’s something that’s already in the database…

fel64: Well, after I removed the fix-bbpress.php I have “1” in the Bozo field for all of my accounts, INCLUDING the quotes. Should I change these to 0’s or delete the “1” before I install the fix?

Also, I dont know much about .htaccess.. that’s pretty much the standard wpmu file.

What does this line mean:

Topic titled test post started by bb_get_user needs a numeric ID

That stands out to me as if something is fubared in my database. But wpmu is working just dandy. Some sort of integration problem?

[fel64]

Not sure how to do that specifically, however here’s a quick rip of Sam Bauer’s pagination plugin that’ll add a double-forward arrow to the end of each topic name linking to the latest post. Copy it into a text file, save it as something.php and upload.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Link to last Post

Plugin URI:

Description: Adds page links to topic lists

Author: fel64

Version: 0.7

Author URI: http://www.loinhead.net/

*/



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



return $title;

}

?>

[Nola1974]

I just got finished posting a whole bunch of posts a little while ago. Worked on my theme a bit.. added this to the header, that’s it:

<?php

function w3l_tl_pages($before = '', $after = '', $between = ' ') {

global $wpdb;

$query = "SELECT ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE (post_type = 'page' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_parent = 0) ORDER BY menu_order";

$pages = $wpdb->get_results($query, ARRAY_A);

$temp_pages = array();

foreach ($pages as $page) {

$temp_pages[] = $before . '<a href="' . get_bloginfo('url') . '/' . get_page_uri($page['ID']) . '">' . $page['post_title'] . '</a> ' . $after;

}

echo implode($between, $temp_pages);

}

?>

This is to get the menu of pages from my wordpress.mu install.

Now, whenever I try to post, after I submit a new topic, it turns yellow and doesn’t not then appear in the discussions list.

I can’t delete ANY posts. Not even old ones.

THe new topics appear in the dashboard under “Recently Moderated” and says this:

Topic titled test post started by bb_get_user needs a numeric ID

[wittmania]

Null, thanks for the help. Yeah, going into the table isn’t a whole lot of fun, but this isn’t something that would need to be changed very often.

PM is private messaging, i.e. this plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/20

The plugin adds a page (/yourforum/pm.php) that lets you read/write private messages to other users. Because it is a static page, you can define the address in the table.

What would be really great, though, is a way to make the links dynamic. The PM plugin also comes with a notification function where users can be given an alert when they visit the forum letting them know a new message has arrived. The tab would say something like “Private Messages (1)” or something like that. Unfortunately, since the page addresses are stored in the DB, I can’t really think of a way to do this.

As far as wanting to see it, you can check my forum here:

http://www.lne97.com/bbpress/

I have it locked down so you have to register, which addresses the issue you mentioned above. However, you can log in using:

user: just a test

password: justatest (no spaces)

Thanks again for the plugin!

[fel64]

This is a simple plugin that will highlight which posts are new since a (logged-in!) user last visited the forums. It will modify your front page’s listing of recent threads, showing threads with new posts as bold.

It REQUIRES the Simple Onlinelist plugin by Thomas Klaiber, whose work this is largely based on.

The plugin should not highlight posts which the user made, since obviously those have already been seen. Please tell me if it does otherwise.

The only testing I have done is on my 1.0-alpha build, so I would be very grateful if people could test the plugin and tell me if it works!

Grab it here.

Darn that error again, there must be something wrong with that insert part when a table is created.

Check with phpmyadmin if the table bb_menu is created. If not do so manually (this is not tested, but it contains the stuff needed in the table):

"CREATE TABLE$bbdb->menu` (

item_id INT(3) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

item varchar(50) NOT NULL default ”,

set varchar(50) NOT NULL default ”,

page varchar(50) NOT NULL default ”,

location varchar(50) NOT NULL default ”,

order int(9) NOT NULL default ‘0’,

PRIMARY KEY (item_id)

);`

Then you will have to fill it (again not tested, but it contains what needed):

"INSERT INTO$bbdb->menu` VALUES

(DEFAULT, ‘Forums’, ‘active’, ‘index.php’, ‘front-page’, 0),

(DEFAULT, ‘Search’, ‘active’, ‘search.php’, ‘search-page’, 1),

(DEFAULT, ‘Statistics’, ‘inactive’, ‘statistics.php’, ‘stats-page’, 0);”`

When sucesfully created this table, things should work…

[Trent Adams]

I registered over at your forums to test this out. I registered and then logged into bbPress. I then went over to your blog and tried the /wp-admin/ link to find out if I was registered. It gave me the login page where I added my information and then was redirected to:

http://mpm.org.au/wp-admin/

That URL doesn’t exist. Is there something in your WP install that has the URL of the site as the first URL? That might be causing the problems.

As well, do you have the integration plugin that pulls the registrations from bbPress across to WordPress? That way all users are in the wp_users and not the bb_users table.

I recently did my first bbpress install on localhost and it went miserably. I used the latest download from today.

Checking on this forum I had the same path seperator issues and stylesheet issues others had, etc.

My $bb->domain and $bb->path were fine. The fresh install just didn’t work properly under xampp and then again a retry on easyPHP.

This is the solution and findings I found:

1. The first issue is because in config.php and bb-load.php dirname(__FILE__) is used to get the base path for BBPATH. This is not a good thing on localhost Windows based installs.

2. There are a number of attempted workarounds to this that I’ve read about in this forum. All of them that I saw didn’t work. Focusing on the issue with the stylesheet href not being correct I noticed that there was logic in the bb_get_active_theme_folder() function.

By default, the installer does NOT create an option entry ‘bb_active_theme’ in the database table topicmeta. The code logic doesn’t make the correct uri.

To fix this, do an install and then add a database field bb_active_theme in the topicmeta table.

For example, I set mine to:

http://localhost/dev/bbpress/

Playing regular expression games to change x: and in general is not worth it. This seemed to be simple and worked right out of the box.

[tegolino]

ops sorry for the swiching! I’m doing a tests!

I have my-templates folder, but I want the same theme of my blog http://www.motiongraphics.it . When I switch to MW theme the error is

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_settings() in /web/htdocs/www.motiongraphics.it/home/forum/

my-templates/mw1.1/themetoolkit.php on line 331

I’m not that surpised it didn’t work. Here is a different fix, editing the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin itself. I’m using line numbers to reference the code. I’ve based the line numbers on an UNEDITED version of the ‘bbpress_post.php’ file. So, if you open up a fresh version of the file that hasn’t been touched (i.e. do not use the version you previously added my ‘fix’ to – you no longer need that fix).

Try these code changes:

Line # 457 – replace with:

bbpress_bb_new_post($topic_id, $content, $forum, $author, $now, $title);

Line #533 – replace with:

$wpdb->query("UPDATE ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts SET post_text='$content', post_title='$title' WHERE post_id=$bbpost_id LIMIT 1;");

Line #540 – replace with:

$otherdb->query("UPDATE ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts SET post_text='$content', post_title='$title' WHERE post_id=$bbpost_id LIMIT 1;");

Line #585 – replace with:

function bbpress_bb_new_post( $topic_id, $content, $forum, $author, $now, $title ) { // making new post in bbPress

Line #587 – replace with:

$wpdb->query("INSERT INTO ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts VALUES ('', $forum, $topic_id, $author, '$content', '$now', '127.0.0.1', 0, 1, $title);");

Line #591 – replace with:

$otherdb->query("INSERT INTO ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts VALUES ('', $forum, $topic_id, $author, '$content', '$now', '127.0.0.1', 0, 1, $title);");

Note: this is assumes two things:

1. That in the bbPress ‘posts’ table the ‘post_title’ field was added as the last field.

2. That you do not have any other plugins that have added fields to the bbPress database.

Let me know how you get on this time.

[spicycauldron]

Aagh. Sadly I get SQL errors. But I can tell you the posts appear empty as well as closed in the forums, in line with your comments above. So thanks to you I know what’s going on and will try to get the other plugin developer to come take a look here. Thanks again!

[spicycauldron]

louisedade, thanks so much for getting back to me on this and yes, I’ve emailed the other plugin developer but no response as yet.

I am enormously appreciative of you going to the trouble of working on a possible fix. I hear what you’re saying about your views on its chances, but I will give it a try and head back here to let you know if it works or no.

Other than that, I only hope the BBPress Post plugin author gets back to me on this. But yeah, thank you!

[Atsutane]

Sorry my bad Forgot to update the readme file.

[drcmanx]

doh, thx i was thinking it was going to be added into the plugin (like Akismet) and not the options tab.

and the part you didn’t know was me thinking that it might be interfering with my other forum topic reader for another board.

Thx for the plugin support!

add an updated install readme

[Prebrov]

I’m still having that problem. I tried all solutions on this page, but had no luck getting pretty URLs. Forum is working fine, but whenever I apply .htaccess settings, either copy-pasted from this forum or from rewrite-rules.php, I get an error

Not Acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /forum/topic/1 could not be found on this server.

Available variants:

* topic.php , type application/x-httpd-php, language ru

What could that be? I have the latest version of bbPress, it’s using wordpress database for authorization & authentication, but runs in a separate directory.

[fel64]

I believe that if you attach this to your CSS file:

ol#thread li {

list-style-type: decimal;

}

you would see the post numbers without any extra code, certainly the most elegant method. There is likely already a definition for ol#thread, so you could simply add this property to that one. Bear in mind that this is entirely untested (will try it when I get home).
