i think it would be nice if once logged in, above latest discussions it listed your recent favorites above “views”

[mozey]

oh yeahh, i forgot to mention, i’m not even going to bother with the BB user table for anything!. I can get it to the point where i log in using one portals for both platforms, but i have’nt tested it beyond that.

OK, it totally works now. Thank-you. I didn’t realize I had to CREATE a .htaccess file under my ‘/www’ folder, I somehow assumed it would already be there in the installation package, and I only needed to add the MultiViews line to allow pretty permalinks – perhaps this could be clarified in the installation instructions? I am a complete ignoramus regarding all of this stuff, so the fact that I even got it working is a testament to its simplicity. The creation of the .htaccess file had me hung for several hours though. Otherwise, great work, I am looking forward to trying this out now!

I have two WordPress blogs (2.0.5) sharing a user database and attempted to get bbPress to share that user db as well. It installed successfully, but I can’t log in either!

I know it’s pulling the info though from my User Database, because the username in the sample post is linked to the same site I’ve set in WordPress. I checked my config.php values, and I know the syntax is correct based on the comments in config.php and the comments above, so I’m a bit confused.

I should note that I’m attempting this on a local test server, so all my config.php values are “localhost” values (such as $bb->domain = 'http://localhost';), I don’t know if this would throw things off at all.

In which line of style.css describ those color????

f.ex: sticky color is on the line 161 of style.css

1) the color of your forums name? (the one on the right-top corner)

2) the background color of forums ?

3) the title of table ?(the gray one on the top: Topic — Add New » Posts Last Poster Freshness …)

4) the original topic color ? (there 2 colors i think)

5) those words color? (Hot tags, Latest Discussions, Forums, View..)

6) the white line under under those title: Hot tags, lastest discussions…?

7) all link words ?( add new, no-reply, untag… the original color is green)

all link words ?(when mose hover)

background color of the bottom section of forums ?(there is : xxxxxxx is proudly powered by bbPress)

---

9) Now, when u add a new topic, theres a table which ask u the subjet, the content, the tag and the ection. i want to change the background color of this table, which line it is?

10)Now, when u look at a topic, theres the original post and reply. the background of each one is on which line?

---

11)last thing..: i want to also change those word (the word, not the color) : ‘Enter a few words(call tag)separeted by spaces to help someone find your topic’ and ‘ pick a section’

Thank you a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will bbpress have an option for members to have signatures, where they can add text or links?

I’m looking at starting a new forum, having used SMF & PHPBB forums in the past, but i really like wordpress so have installed a ‘test’ site using bbpress, and am really impressed, but its an important feature that i’m need to be installed.

They are placed underneath the other users, and aren’t listed under any spesific roles. If I enter their user pages, “administrator” is what’s chosen in the drop-down menu, presumably bacause the drop down by its nature demands it to display something and “administrator” is first in the list, not because their role is really set to administrator.

Now that gave me an idea of what I think is causing this. As mailing out passwords doesn’t work from this test system, I’ve had to manually edit the user settings in WP (using my admin account of course) in order to give them a new password. What might be causing this is that when I access their user page in order to set a password, the user is given admin status because sneakily enough, “Administrator” is what is selected in the drop down when I update.

For some reason my “Latest Discussions” went from 1’s to -1’s instead of 0’s.

So I just installed the latest version of bbpress (0.72) and followed these steps: http://www.devlounge.net/articles/the-ultimate-bbpress-guide and when I got to http://www.abunchofcars.com/forum/, I get: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /home/abunchof/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php on line 93

I tripled checked my config.php file and all appears fine…not sure what I’m doing wrong?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

That snhould be all you need to do (it shouldn’t matter who’s what). But I haven’t actually tested it.

Please let me know how it goes.

[abc12345]

I would like to try bbPress, but cannot get past the “Cannot select DB.” error message. What am I doing wrong? Here is what I have done…

1. Downloaded and am successfully running MySQL 5.0.26 server on Mac OS X 10.4.8.

2. Added a database called “testbb” to the mysql server (this is working because I can access this database through the mysql commandline in Terminal and in CocoaMySQL).

3. Turned on php (version 4.4.1) in the httpd.conf file.

4. Turned on the apache webserver running on my computer.

5. Downloaded the bbPress folder and put it in my webserver directory.

6. Changed the config-sample.php file to config.php.

7. Modified the config.php file. I changed the database name to testbb, changed the username to root, added the appropriate password, and changed the URL domain to “http://localhost/~myusername” and the URL path to “/bbpress/” because I did not change the folder’s name. It is still “bbpress”.

When I try to access the install.php file, I type in “http://localhost/~myusername/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php” into my browser. This successfully brings up the following error message: “Cannot select DB.”

What am I doing wrong? Why can’t it access the database, when I can access it through the commandline with the same username and password?

[Mistainu]

first, i setup my bbPress, tested it… worked great! now i went to the config.php and changed the settings to point to my wordpress. my wordpress has in the root directory and mt bbpress was i a folder root/forums/ … for the configuration, i’m sure i did everything right. changed the wordpress prefix from false to wp_ then added in the urls of my wordpress as required. i then removed the // on the next line as the instructions said.

now i loaded the directory with bbpress… i expected to go thru the whole installation thing again but it failed. someone please help?

@ear1grey: Maybe I´ve got the plugin you want to have – some time ago I created a plugin like that for a bbpress+wordpress site which is no more online – I´ll search it on my HD and test it, and if it still works I´ll put it up for download…

[planetphillip]

Thank you.

So how easy would it be to pull the latest 10 threads onto my wordpress sidebar?

[planetphillip]

Thanks, you were right on the money!

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Make sure there is no whitespace (spaces, extra lines, tabs, etc.) before the <?php in your plugin nor after the ?>

[marky]

brunotorre, you’re a life saver! I’ll give the script a test shot tonight, and I’ll let you know how it goes.

[planetphillip]

Works for me too. Thanks to both of you!

NO, wait when I try to open the tags.php I recieve this message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/username/public_html/forum/my-plugins/latest-topics.php:9) in /home/username/public_html/forum/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1304

TIA

Actually, that’s what I assumed also by the name “deleted.alt”…but I could not find anywhere else to adjust the colors on the front page “latest topics” and “forums” list, so finally i changed the color number for “deleted.alt” and lo and behold, the colors on the front page also changed.

Of course, the topics and forums on the front page are NOT deleted ones, so I guess this variable is shared somehow within the script (I assume it is shared by accident, hence the misleading title “deleted.alt”.)

[Zambu]

That works perfectly. Thanks!

[mozey]

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

this helped me in getting bb press to usre the same users of wp. Now, i need them to share the same session. (test user can log into wpmu account, and not having to loginto bbpress to post to forums.)

Actually, is there any downside into making bb use wp’s users like that?

[Pravin Paratey]

I’m running the latest bbpress at http://yammy.sourceforge.net/forums. After registration, users dont receive their passwords by email.

Perhaps sourceforge does not support this. Can I configure bbpress to display the password on screen?

Thanks

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The easy way is to find get_thread( $topic_id, $page ) in /topic.php and change it to get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true ).

The better way is to use a plugin so that you aren’t modifying any core files. (This is untested)

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Reverse Post Order

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/76

*/

function reverse_post_order() {

global $topic_id, $page, $topic, $bb_current_user;

global $bb_db_override, $posts, $forum, $tags, $user_tags, $other_tags, $list_start;

$bb_db_override = true;

$posts = get_thread( $topic_id, $page );

$forum = get_forum ( $topic->forum_id );

$tags = get_topic_tags ( $topic_id );

if ( $bb_current_user && $tags ) {

$user_tags = get_user_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

$other_tags = get_other_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

} elseif ( is_array($tags) ) {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = get_public_tags( $topic_id );

} else {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = false;

}

$list_start = ($page – 1) * bb_get_option(‘page_topics’) + 1;

post_author_cache($posts);

}

add_action( ‘bb_topic.php_pre_db’, ‘reverse_post_order’ );

?>

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Oops, my fault. Do exactly what you did but put

global $bb;

directly under the function line.

<?php

function front_page_topics() {

global $bb;

$bb->page_topics = 2;

}

add_action( ‘bb_index.php_pre_db’, ‘front_page_topics’ );

?>

[Zambu]

On the basic downloaded version strater template, the front page lists “latest discussions” and also the “forums”. This listing visually has an line by line alternating background color of very light gray and a pinkish red.

My question is how do I change these background colors? I would have thought this would be in the css style sheet but I can not find it in there anywhere.

thanks, thomas
