I followed the discussion in “Updated to Desmond But Theme Not Working”, however the proposed solutions are not working for me.

I have a IIS 6.0, windows 2003 server, MySQL 5.x and PHP 5.0 installation. Both directories “my-templates/” and “my-plungins/” are in the bbpress root. The “patch-to-URL.php” plugin is inside the “my-plugins” folder.

When looking at the source code in Firefox 2.0 I get

“<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://129.82.32.135forums/my-templates/kakumei/style.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />” (notice the “” before forums) and inside the admin section for the forum the themes previews are not visible, tough their names and the options to select are present.

However when using IE 7.0 the source code I get

“<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://129.82.32.135/forums/bb-admin/style.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />” and the themes previews are visible.

Any ideas how to fix this errors. Thanks.

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

I have recently been using the notification_all plugin but when enabled for everyone it would make posting take forever and if it was a busy thread it would basically just sit there and mass spam everyone.

I have since moved to the notification1.3 where it will only notify if it is in the favorites of that user.. but now they wont get notified if someone posts a new topic..

I know it is getting kinda granular but is there a “New Topic” plugin that will only email you when a new Topic is made only and NOT every additional post in that topic from there on. Because that is what notification_all did and it was just too much. I want users notified of new topic then let them choose if they want to be updated on that topic.

Hello again, just finished examining code. There are two issues.

The first issue is that the blog entries you are posting to bbPress appear as closed topics. This problem is totally unrelated to the “Add Titles to Replies” plugin, which does not touch the ‘topics’ table in the database at all. I suggest you enquire with the ‘bbPress Post’ author about this. Did you update that plugin on your forum at the same time as installing mine? That could be the source of the problem.

Now, having said all that, the second issue is going to seem to contradict it. What I mean is, are you sure the topics are ‘closed’, or is it just that the content does not appear – that is, is it a phantom topic?

This can occur when the ‘topics’ table gets updated, but the ‘posts’ table does not for some reason (usually a coding error). When you create a new topic in bbPress, you are actually simultaneously creating the topic and making the first post in that topic – so both tables get updated.

This is where the problem involves my “Add Titles to Replies” plugin, because we have altered the ‘posts’ table, which may be causing an error in the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin code (that plugin writes to the database in a different way to the bbPress core).

Still with me? Good…

Now, I do not have access to an integrated WordPress/bbPress installation, so I have made a stab in the dark at trying to fix this the easy way. I’ve written a very short function (a bit of a hack really) that you can add to the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin.

In the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin open the file called ‘bbpress_post.php’ and add the following code to the bottom of the page, just before the bottom PHP tag ?>

/* Ugly 'Add Titles to Replies' Hack by LouiseDade */

function bbpress_add_reply_title( $post_id, $topic_id ) {

global $wpdb, $otherdb;

$bb_table_prefix = bbpress_getoption('bb_prefix');



if (bbpress_getoption('bb_other_base') === "no") {

$topic_title=$wpdb->get_var("SELECT topic_title FROM ". $bb_table_prefix ."topics WHERE topic_id=$topic_id LIMIT 1; ");

$wpdb->query("UPDATE ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts SET post_title='$topic_title' WHERE post_id='$post_id' LIMIT 1");

} else {

$topic_title=$otherdb->get_var("SELECT topic_title FROM ". $bb_table_prefix ."topics WHERE topic_id=$topic_id LIMIT 1; ");

$otherdb->query("UPDATE ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts SET post_title='$topic_title' WHERE post_id='$post_id' LIMIT 1");

}

}

Next, scroll up to the bbpress_new_post() function and at the bottom, before the closing curly brace, add:

/* Added by LouiseDade - updates post reply title */

bbpress_add_reply_title( $post_id, $topic_id );

Then scroll up again to the bbpress_post_update() function and add the same code as above just before the closing curly brace again.

Re-upload the plugin with the changes made and try posting a WordPress entry.

If it works I shall jump around for joy, but unfortunately I have grave doubts about it. I think it might need to be done the hard-way, which involves rewriting some of the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin.

Good luck!

It is all program related. I would check if there is a setting to change this to a quicker time. I have this issue with Google Reader and other feed readers as well. Rest assured, the feed is instantly updated and you can check this by going to the feed yourself in a web browser.

Currently i’m trying to develop something using wordpress & bbpress.

Everything flows pretty good when talking on functionality and the rest of features, but there is a problem.

Actually 2 problems. First I already posted here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/867

And now the second one:

The final release has to be in another language but english. It’s true, I found no troubles translating bbpress in my language and the rest of updated wordpress. But after what I’ve integrated both of api’s: the wordpress and bbpress; this resulted in the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class streamreader in /var/www/pm/forum/bb-includes/streams.php on line 26

I suppose it’s because of the translations, cause when I did not defined BBLANG, everything worked well.

After a bit I thought, that a solution for my problem can be joining both of the bbpress and wordpress translation .mo’s and defining just WPLANG for my language settings. That worked, but I dont see this as a pretty simple and accessible solution for everybody!

I would be glad getting some help on that, If there is any other more easier solution, that would be cool.

@fel64 – You don’t have to copy the styles into another style sheet, just edit the styles in the file page-links.css

@wittmania – I’ve updated the plugin to be compatible with “Front Page Topics”, it’s more a design problem with that plugin, but I’ve worked around it.

@Null – All that has to be done is copying the three files, one php, one css, one image into the my-plugins folder. If you want to change the styles then just edit them in the CSS file. I couldn’t have made it any easier given I wanted it to be easily styled for different layouts without having to modify templates.

[Sam Bauers]

What version of bbPress are you using. I have to admit that I haven’t tested against 0.8.1, only against the latest 1.0 alpha

I think I know what went wrong though. Download and try again, I’ve updated the version to 1.0.1

The links are text-only. If you don’t want the images/styles just remove them from the CSS file.

[Sam Bauers]

So that’s the other place I saw it. I’ve updated that ticket.

[Null]

Hmm well so the easiest way is to keep the external file containing:

<?php

$id = $_POST['id'];

$content = $_POST['content'];

echo stripslashes(htmlentities($content)); ?>

This file returns the edited text (this works), but how can I let it safe the variables to the database at the same time?

It’ll have to save: $content to the table bb_menu -> item

where $id = edit_id

Tried some stuff, but couldn’t get this updated into the db

[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

Hello,

I follow this thread, and i dont know why solution from nanome works perfectly for me…

thanks

[fel64]

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!

[spencerp]

Haha. All I know is… after wiping the database clean of the bbPress tables and files/folders and such in the htdocs folder for Xampp Lite/ localhost … tried to install it fresh again… it went just fine, except for that Stylesheet URL issue….

Not sure why, or what’s going on with it.. but apparently she’s holding a grudge against Xampp Lite and the localhost… damn bitch!!!! LOL! Nah, just kidding folks!

spencerp

[Trent Adams]

Good to know…….so that is the URL issue and not the localhost issue even though you are installed on a localhost. Man, this thread is confusing sometimes!

Trent

[spencerp]

Oh okay. However, I just SVN-ed my localhost copy, and she’s still not working like supposed too. So, I just manually re-added the straight URL to the stylesheet for now..

So evidently it hasn’t been fixed yet sigh.. Hmm..

spencerp

[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.

Trent

[spencerp]

It’s ok Trent. It’s really not a big deal since it’s for the localhost copy only. It’s just that it *would be* nice to have this fixed in general though, ya know.. ?

Do you know if mdawaffe had applied a fix yet or not? I noticed a handful of files come through the SVN, just not sure if one contains a “fix” or whatever.. lol!

spencerp

[Trent Adams]

Sorry to hear that Spencer. I guess you found a way to patch it for now. mdawaffe will be releasing a ‘fix up’ release pretty soon that hopefully will address most (if not all) issues people are having!!

Thanks,

Trent

[spencerp]

Screw it, I just manually added in the straight URL path to the style.css file instead of worrying about it. It’s working on my live version, so it’s no biggie to just manually add the straight URL to the stylesheet for localhost… whee!

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://localhost/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />

I just hope they get this crap fixed soon though.. /Yes, I’m an impatient prick.. wheee! LmaoAOAOAO….

spencerp

[spencerp]

@nanome, nope.. still a no-go. I even tried it with BOTH “plugins” your’s and trent’s together. Then one at a time… no-go..

ISSUE NOW RESOLVED. I have reinstalled bbPress, this time using only a pure text editor (TextWrangler) and a different FTP client. Before I was using Dreamweaver as my interface, and you would think, after years of web work and experience with DW’s thug-like behavior with relative paths, that I would have known better.

By the way, upon reinstalling without using DW, I did not have the initial reverse-slash issue. In other words, I am not having to use the path-to-url plugin, with or without its subsequent tweak.

By the way 2: I know this would be a “duh” comment for many, but just in case it helps someone avoid the problems I had: When running bb-admin/install.php, in the field where it calls for your web site, do not enter a trailing slash. I tend to add one out of habit, and I think that was the cause of some of my earlier problems.

[ghoulash]

I’m viewing all this on Firefox/Mac 10.4.9 (in other words, I’m not trying anything fancy here). When I first began having the reversed-slash issue in Firefox (and IE Windows), I still was at least able to navigate through my admin panel. Now it’s giving me errors and redirects.

Admittedly your fix might not be the cause of the current problem. I’ll reinstall and see what happens. Your fix certainly was successful with the original problem. Thanks again.

[nanome]

Weird as I am not having any trouble in the admin area.

Prehaps, the more experienced mods here will be able to help.

What are you running on?

[ghoulash]

It does seem to be wreaking havoc with some of the other slashes and paths, particularly within the Admin panel.
