Hey Atsutane,

I had another question. I noticed that the members name only seems to appear next to users using nicknames. For example, if I add a nickname to a user, then the users name will appear next to the latest post. But if a new bbPress user who doesn’t use a Wpress nickname posts, then there name doesn’t show up next to the latest post. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Orion

Glad it work perfectly for you

Hey Atsutane & Community,

Figured it out. I re-read my post above and noticed something a askew in the line:

‘content._bbtopics’

It should be “bb_” and not “_bb”

So I made a bit of an error when imputing in the options. Anyhow, Atsutane, thanks for an excellent plugin! It is one of my personal favorites.

Our site is now live at http://victorybelt.com. There is still plenty of areas I have to clean up, but we were rushed to go public, and we were at least able to get up and running in firefox and ie6.

Thanks for all the support! With out this community it would not have been possible.

Best,

Orion

Hey Atsutane,

I tried deactivating and reactivating the plugin. Also tried re-uploading the plugin, and I am still running into the same issue.

I’m not sure what to look for in the option page at this point. I will have to research some more. Any additional ideas or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Orion

FROM _bbtopics

it seem to me your bb table prefix kinda mess up. Try check back inside option page. I also using wp 2.1.2 and bb 0.8.1, and still i can update my option

Try deactive and reactive the plugin back .. maybe that gonna fix it.

@fel64

thanks i will keep that in mind

I am still a stuck on this, I am not totally sure what to enter in my plugin options. With the old plugin I adjusted these options in the plugin php file:

$bbpath = ‘/content/forums’; // Adjust the path to suit your bbpress location. Example: ‘/forums’

$forum_slimit = ’20’; // Adjust the limit to show

… and I was able to get the feature working.

In the options menu for the new plugin I have adjusted the path to reflect the above path. I left the options below the “External DB” option blank: “Bbpress DB User, Bbpress DB Pass, Bbpress DB Name, Bbpress DB Host,” for I believe these are for using the external database, and I am using the local host and sharing a database with WordPress. (I also tried filling the “Bbpress DB User, Bbpress DB Pass, Bbpress DB Name, Bbpress DB Host” options, with out checking the external datatbase box, and I ran into the same issue.)

Anyhow, I will have to re-activate the old v.3 working plugin for now, and we will have to manually edit the title lengths in the meantime. I will still be pushing for a solution, and if anyone has any ideas to why I can’t get this plugin working, the help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Orion

btw- i’m on WordPress 2.1 & bbPress 0.8.1

[startribe]

it appears that my options page is not making changes to the plugin. Hmmm, I checked the plugin file, and it looks like the changes I made are still set to the defaults.

[startribe]

Thanks for the replies. I have updated the plugin, but now I am getting an errors on my wordpress pages:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘content._bbtopics’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM _bbtopics WHERE topic_status = 0 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 50

I am starting to research this, and if anyone else already knows what the problem might be, feel free to chime in.

Best,

Orion

Haha, Atsutane, fantastic. Continually improving this plugin is great

You spelt “integrated” intergrated by the way – luckily consistently through your code, so it works okay anyway. ^^ Better English is also “in” category rather than inside. Just if you want to know.

[Atsutane]

Update the plugin already. Now u can set the length of the text from BbLD option page. Get it from bbPress plugin page.

Refer to changelog for older update. Hope this gonna solve your problem

It’s not that hard to do. Just google on this and script/excamples will pop-up in no time. Basicly you will have to count the nr of letters and replace all other letters with …

I am at work else I could give an excample….

… not very helpful I know just google

Hey Community,

We are getting closer to the launch of our site, and we are still having trouble with our bbpress title lengths interfering with our wordpress layout.

You can see our bbpress forum locations spread through out the site.

http://208.109.218.158

Is there any way to put a limit on the length of titles so they don’t break our site? We are using the same setup as described above.

Any help would be appreciated, even if it means some sort of a temp css fix to hide overflow.

Thanks,

Orion

Is there any way of displaying the page numbers (as links) in the thread listing, so that you can jump straight to the latest page? Would be much nicer to navigate. If not, I’ll add it as a ticket to trac? Not sure what the right thing to do is!

[Sam Bauers]

New version added which seems to work. The whole implementation is a little unsavory though – passing HTTP auth to a PHP cookie – feels like double handling.

http://www.network.net.au/bbpress/plugins/http/http-authentication.latest.zip

Someone who cared a little more about how this works would bother to replace all the cookie based auth completely.

I’ll add this to the plugin repository too.

[Trent Adams]

I let him know about the problems people are having from this thread and he mentioned the ‘localhost’ thing and the ‘other slash’ problems should be fixed in the next release, but may be re-worked. I haven’t tested the localhost install yet, but I think the ‘slash for stylesheet’ thing is fixed.

Good news is you’re on the right path apparently.

If you need any help I’d be happy to contribute with some testing.

OK, I just tested this, and it deffinately doesn’t work like it should, you can login using http_auth and then login again with the same user/password and it works.

I have to cut out that middle-man in the process.

[Sam Bauers]

I’ve hacked together a first draft of “HTTP authentication for bbPress” using the LDAP authentication plugin as a model.

This is completely untested, but the basic premise is that you set up HTTP authentication on the entire bbPress install. The plugin handles the rest. You will need to install and turn on the plugin before setting up HTTP_AUTH though.

Download from here.

Right. I’m just trying to figure out which one I’m gonna use in my forum. Right now I’m leaning towards TinyMCE, since FCKeditor doesn’t work with Opera (even though TMCE takes forever to load in my test installation…)

[Trent Adams]

He added the tag to the thread. It is there.

Testing bbpress on localhost (xampp, windows) and viewing with firefox I get the same error in the stylesheet link.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/leebbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css" type="text/css" />

Created the plugin as Trent suggested but that didn’t solve the problem. Played around with the code a bit and now it does work.

Here is my hacked version.

<?php



function fix_bb_path_to_url( $url ) {

$url = str_replace(array('//', '\\', '\'), array('/', '\', '/'), $url);

return preg_replace( '|([^/])|', '/$1', $url );

}



add_filter( 'bb_path_to_url', 'fix_bb_path_to_url', 1, -1 );



?>

Only difference is adding ‘\’ to the str_replace.

Plugin updated!

Now you can also display an individual user’s latest replies on their profile page.

[wenkong]

any step how to do?

jee did you post any link?

[wenkong]

1. download the latest version of TinyMCE , I use version tinymce_2_1_0

2. unzip file and upload “jscripts” folder to your server/bbpress/my-plugins/, so link will like this (http://example.com/bbpress/my-plugins/jscripts)

3. add code to the bbpress templates header file (http://example.com/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/header.php),

ADD CODE before ‘/head’ of header.php

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript” src=”http://example.com/bbpress/my-plugins/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js”></script&gt;

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>

tinyMCE.init({

mode : “textareas”

});

</script>

4. Done! you can check it out when Post content in your bbpress.

p/s: I need someone pitch in and help me how to hack bbpress to support more allowed markup like <u> <tr> <td> <font color> <font size>… etc
