I’m not worried about fixing it for me. I’m worried about fixing it for every new person who comes along and installs it and has a problem immediately. If the above works, that should be the default and that should be released. Anyone who downloads the latest.tar.gz should not have to edit out anything to fix the bozo problem. The default doesn’t work, so it should be changed until it’s fixed. No patches: a new release.

Hi – I’m having the same problem with /tags/ when I use permalinks or slugs. I’m running latest bbPress with the trac fix, and the the htaccess hack didn’t work either (it spewed content of tags.php as raw text)

Any ideas?

[bedbugger]

I have a fairly active forum and the “latest discussion” goes back 5 days. People don’t really know which forum they were reading posts from before.

Is there a plugin for archiving by date?

Can I change the number of posts that show under latest discussion?

Can I change the number of visible “hot tags”?

Are there other ways to make this more manageable?

I’m not very experienced with bbpress, so thanks for any responses and instructions you can provide or point me towards.

I can understand the concerns about JavaScript being written into the core. The point that cool2sv and others are making is that all the javascript that is written inline into the core code could be removed and the same functionality could be provided by adding events to DOM objects in external scripts. By doing this we could abstract away the absolute need for any particular JavaScript library, even though we would almost certainly include one in the core. If this was done then people could emulate the JavaScript functionality included in the core using other JavaScript libraries that better suit them. It is a cleaner and more flexible approach. That being said, there is quite a lot of work and testing to be done to achieve this for what may generally have limited benefit. Still, I think it should be considered and maybe even ticketed as an enhancement.

I just installed bbPress for the first time, and I’ve noticed a certain oddity that was incredibly frustrating until I figured out what was going on. The first thing I did after installing was make a bunch of test posts. But after only a couple, the posts stopped showing up. They’d appear in yellow after I posted them, and then, when I went back to the homepage, I couldn’t find them again.

Now, I think I’ve figured out what happened. My guess is that bbPress doesn’t like it when one user posts too many times consecutively. (Registering a new user and posting under that account did work.) But those posts don’t appear in the control panel under the Content tab. The only place I can find them is in the Dashboard, under “Recently Moderated.” And the only way to make them display seems to be to click into the individual post, scroll to the bottom and click “undelete,” even though, confusingly, there’s also a “delete” link higher up on the page.

I suppose I’m OK with this, but I just wanted to come here and confirm: Is this proper behavior? Am I missing something? What’s the post limit? Is there any way to turn it off, even if just for admins? I suspect on this forum there might end up being one or two users making a bunch of consecutive posts, and I’m all right with that. Can I at least get e-mail notification when something is moderated, and can it show up somewhere in the control panel? Plugins, perhaps?

A lot of questions, I know. Sorry, but this was really throwing me off.

I’m running the latest bbpress.

Here is the forum radioavivamiento.com/foro/

The problem is I cannot post to the forum. I got this additional warning after trying to post.

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/dirxxx/public_html/foro/bb-includes/functions.php:664) in /home/dirxxx/public_html/foro/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 166

It’s got a lot more of a consistent feel to it now, which is very nice. But when you hover over links they still turn green, as do the rows in the thread listing.

Look for the a:hover item in your CSS file to change links when hovered, and look for something like tr:hover for the thread rows. I think the specific item for thread rows is

#latest tr:hover, #forumlist tr:hover, #favorites tr:hover

Just keep playing with it until you’re happy is the best advice.

The quicktags plugin should work automatically if you drop the plugin file and the JS file into your /my-plugins/ folder. That should bring up the buttons you requested. If it doesn’t, it might be a problem with it displaying in your theme. Quick way to test that is test it out on the default template and not your custom template.

As for the translating, are you using the language files for your chosen language?

[archasek]

it’s ok now, you refreshed it while i was testing one thing.

i translated thing i pasted above, actually i have 2 problems with quicktags and new post (new=1)

I made a plugin that allows you to change wordpress cookie path&domain (and even cookieHash) to suit the need of bbPress.

My configuration was not “simple” :

wordPress : http://www.2diabolos.com/blog

bbPress : forum.2diabolos.com

everything is explained here.

http://www.2diabolos.com/blog/2007/04/06/nouveau-plugin-setcookieparams/

BUT I have a problem :

on my local server (for tests), I tried my plugin.

it works … for bbPress front-page and admin page, but not for topics and other “deeper” pages.

I put “cookie domain == false” (because cookie must not have domain when you are a “local server”, that what I understood from the standard)

I don’t understand why the frontpage appears nicely, and why, when I try to go into a topic, Firefox tells me that the server redirects the request in way that can’t go nowhere. And IE does not achieve anything (I prefer Firefox, it better for debugging…)

Firefox tells it can be a problem with cookie acceptance or desactivation.

I feel that bbPress is making a round (infinite) redirection ….

[fel64]

In functions.php, find the get_profile_info_keys() function …

Much neater to pluginise it like the avatar plugin has done than to hack around in the core files, but that’s the solution now anyway.

I’m not sure how the hook ardentfrost used works specifically but the sensible thing for it to do would be to pass the infokeys array as a parameter (just like the allowed tags hook), in which case you could easily add onto whatever was already in the array. If someone’s interested it might be worth testing, again as the neatest/least problematic way of doing this.

[fel64]

No idea. I doubt they’d announce features before they’re ready – that’s a fairly stupid strategy for software. Check out trac if you want to see what’s being worked on and download the latest SVN releases if you want it early (and potentially buggy).

[wittmania]

Yes, I suppose that’s worth noting… the instructions I left above have been tested WITHOUT the avatar plugin running. From what others have said, these two plugins don’t play nice together.

[wmarcy]

Instead of oldest to newest, can we have a button that shows the messages from newest to oldest? That way people who have been keeping up on a topic can see the latest messages first.

Anyone?

[Atsutane]

Glad it work for you. For some reason i notice the default plugin setup not work on some server. Fix the problem already.

[Trent Adams]

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

[Atsutane]

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

[startribe]

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

[Sam Bauers]

> 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?
