[Solved] Does "throttle time" apply to the same user and the same topic/forum only?

Published on November 22nd, 2012 by fuzzybee

Could someone please elaborate further what “throttle time” mean here?

1) Can you confirm that “throttle time” applies to the same user only?
It would be a disaster to stop other users from posting to the same topic/ forum for 10 seconds.

2) Does “throttle time” applies to the same topic/forum a user just posted and that topic/ forum only?
It would not be nice to stop a user from posting anywhere else in 10 seconds, don’t you think?

Custom login Page

Published on November 22nd, 2012 by Keikabile Lesego

If you love your website you will do anything to make sure it looks more welcoming

I have been looking for a custom login for my website, searched everywhere… The only thing i got was the same login style page, with just only a logo changed, you just have to install the plugin and given an option to upload a logo. Then i figured how to make my login page something that i want. I took firebug edited css style.

I pasted all my custom css-style in a notepad and opened wp-admin.css and inserted the code. It take less than 10mins to do this, If you are looking for a custom login page do not look any further, just take you 5 to 10 mins and customise your login.

Take note: when you update you WordPress it will overwrite your edition, so for you not to loose you styles, after editing make a copy of wp-admin.css and save it in the same folder, you can do that by Zipping the file, that creates a zipped-copy. If you want to do this here is a bit of steps to help:

1. before anything just creat a copy of wp-admin.css and rename it, you can rename it wp-admin.css.Tempo, just for incase you mess up everything you can always restore…

Then OPEN public_html/example.com/wp-admin/css

You might loose hope, or your brain might hurt when you look at the code arrangement, trust me its pretty much easier to edit. Anywhere at the end of “}” create a space where you are going to insert your custom css code.
The code looks something like this:

1. | dashboard_browser_nag a{color:#fff}#dashboard_browser_nag.browser-insecure a.browse-happy-link,#dashboard_browser_nag.browser-insecure a.update-browser-link{text-shadow:#871b15 0 1px 0}#dashboard_browser_nag a.browse-happy-link,#dashboard_browser_nag a.update-browser-link{text-shadow:#d29a04 0 1px 0}

At the end of each “}” its the beginning of new style code, so by creating space it will be something like:

1. | dashboard_browser_nag a{color:#fff}#dashboard_browser_nag.browser-insecure a.browse- happy-link,#dashboard_browser_nag.browser-insecure a.update-browser-link{text-shadow:#871b15 0 1px 0}

—–>>[[[space here]]] then insert you codes here ( this is just to make you see what you are editing much better)

2. | #dashboard_browser_nag a.browse-happy-link,#dashboard_browser_nag a.update-browser-link{text-shadow:#d29a04 0 1px 0}

Your custom css style will overwrite the main css style, it might look a bit weird at first, just hold on.

2. Open wp-login.php , first make a copy of it just for incase…
Just after
1. “

Insert
1. php get_header()

Now your login should look like any of your pages.

Then remove this line:

1. |

<a href="” title=””>

Just after
2. |

You can now refresh your login page:

If you love your website you will do anything to make sure it looks more welcoming. I hope this helps, I am new to WordPress, just that i love testing things up.

Here is an example: [www.royaltweet.com/wp-login.php]

User registration

Published on November 21st, 2012 by

I cannot get user registration to work. I tried t ocreate a page and apply the bbPress – User Registration template, but there is not a single bbPress template in my drop-down menu. All there is is “Default” and “Contact Info”

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Or is there some other good way to create a user registration page/section/widget?

Thanks for any leads.

Forum broken after update

Published on November 21st, 2012 by

I just upgraded bbPress and now forum posts are no longer displayed. I can see the forums, but when I click on them the following page has no content. The source of the page shows me a

where the posts and page content should be.

I am also having the problem that no author profiles work. Clicking on them always takes me to the front page of my blog.

Here’s a link if anyone wants to take a look.

3 levels of membership roles using bbPress 2.2.1

Published on November 21st, 2012 by andymacleod

I’ve been working on a MMORPG guild site with 3 distinct levels of Membership with posting rights:
– guests/potential members who can post on PUBLIC forums
– full member who can post of the guild’s PRIVATE forums
– officer/moderators who can post of HIDDEN forums.

I chose to use WordPress and bbPress instead of a dedicated guild-hosting solution to make the site different from most other guild sites, taking advantage of WordPress’s theming and bbPress’s simplicity.

bbPress 2.2.1 only seem to expect only 2 levels of membership – there is no option to have a “guest/registered” user who can post on public forums. However, I did manage to create 3 levels of member by making a small change to a core file, found here:
bbpress\includes\core\capabilities.php

Go to where the Spectator role is defined (lines 134 to 169) and change them to have the same capabilities as for the participant role (lines 225-260). Then change line 146 ‘read_private_forums’ back to ‘false’.

The problem with this approach: Your “spectator” role is now no longer merely a spectator. And, of course, this amendment would be overwritten by updating bbPress. Alternatively, you could create another role here (would be good addition for bbPress 2.3) but you need to edit other parts of the file to do so…

Another issue: I wanted custom titles to appear on topic posts beside member’s avatars. To do this, I had to create new WordPress roles using Justin Tadlock’s Member plugin. I copied the WordPress default permissions for the “Subscriber” role and gave it the name “Guest”. I did the same for the “Member” role, and I copied the default Editor roles for the guild “Officer” role – because I wanted them to be able to edit pages and posts too.

The solution seems to work although it is not ideal… I thought I’d pass it on in case there were other people in a similar position who wanted more flexibility in terms of roles. Please, please, please could making it possible to change forum roles and titles a priority update for the next major update to bbPress.

Thanks,

Andy

Breadcrumbs keep switching to topics

Published on November 21st, 2012 by thesnowjunkies

Currently, I am using Yoast breadcrumbs with my setup (bbPress 2.2 with WP 3.4). Everything is super sweet except when I go to a topic, the “forums” link disappears and replaces it with a “topics” link.

Here’s what I want:
Home>>Forums>>Example Forum>>Example Topic

Here’s what I get:
Home>>Topics>>Example Forum>>Example Topic

My current workaround has been to make a custom topics page and then have it redirect to “Forums” — but of course it still says “Topics” in the breadcrumb.

I do understand this may just be a plugin issue and not for this board, but if anyone has any ideas…

forums disappeared after installation of v2.2

Published on November 21st, 2012 by jakewho

I successfully upgraded to bbPress v2.2 (and then 2.2.1), but for some reason I can no longer see my forums. Since I am still in the process of setting up my site, I have tried everything I could think of, including deleting all forums and topics…then I deleted the BuddyPress and bbPress plugins and reinstalled and reactivated them. When I create a new forum, I still can’t see the forum layout for my forum page(s). What I see instead is a blank page (plus the description text for the forum), but none of the blank fields for creating a topic associated with the forum or for entering content into the topic/forum. When I create create a topic and associate it with the forum, it still does the same thing.

A URL where this can be seen is: http://www.cbblogers.com/forums/comunidade/sorteio/

Thanks

JS Error: suggest

Published on November 21st, 2012 by Scott Kingsley Clark

I’m getting this on all my sites that have upgraded to 2.2.x (tested on 2.2.1 too):

Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'suggest'

This relates to this part of the code added to every page of the WP Admin area:


jQuery(document).ready(function() {

var bbp_topic_id = jQuery( '#bbp_topic_id' );

bbp_topic_id.suggest( ajaxurl + '?action=bbp_suggest_topic', {

onSelect: function() {
var value = this.value;
bbp_topic_id.val( value.substr( 0, value.indexOf( ' ' ) ) );
}
} );
});

Index page not working properly in Graphene Theme

Published on November 21st, 2012 by remike

I am currently using Graphene Theme which apparently should be compatible with bbPress
Curently my index page looks like this
http://hosting0948899.az.pl/wp/forums/

The index displays as if I get search results for all my pages with forums instered inside.
The same with user profile page…

What can I do? What causes the problem?

Online Playing Cards game built around bbPress

Published on November 21st, 2012 by sambedingfield

As a YouTube partner I started to look for a fresh approach to involving my subscribers. I’ve been both an illustrator and web developer in the past, so it made sense to play to my strengths and use these as key factors. 8 months later of working solo on this project and RatsClan.com is now a fully featured community site with a built in unique Playing Card system. Members can unlock achievements, go up ranks, grow their card collection, battle against one another, earn medals and much more.

The site is built upon the latest WordPress, with the bbPress forum plugin installed. The simple and tactile user interface is consistent throughout each aspect, with large (seasonal changing) illustrations when playing cards. This is all brought to life with animated elements and sound effects.

Games are created as custom posts, and become published when another user has accepting to challenge them. This allows users to share their experiences or look for opponents through social networks. Experience points and currency is also stored as custom meta, which is all cached to help load time.

The feedback from our members has been phenomenal, and I’m excited to see how far I can push the boundaries of browser based gaming.

Please feel free to browse the site: http://www.ratsclan.com/

Also, here’s a replay of one of my recent games: http://www.ratsclan.com/game/ba6b6a4e/

This is also my first ever work on a WordPress or bbPress site, so any feedback is much appreciated!
