Greeings, all –

First off, I installed bbPress yesterday and I admit I’m impressed. A very well-thought-out piece of work. It dovetailed perfectly with WP without a hitch.

The one thing it obviously needs is a slightly better editor. Asking the readers to use actual code to italicize or bold a word is decidedly old-world.

I’ve just spent an hour on Google (and here) searching for relevant terms, such as ‘WYSIWYG’ and ‘TinyMCE’, and while there seems to be lots of chatter about the subject, I haven’t found anyone with a definitive “Do this, this and this” page that’ll replace the stock editor with something like TinyMCE Advanced or NICEdit.

Anyone know what the latest scoop is?

Thanks,
Joe

Hiya,

I don’t want to use .htacess method, I want to use php

Is there any way to protect a directory/folder with password using php?

Suppose I want to protect my forums directory ( just show user/pass)

Thanks

Hiya bbPress community,

Working on my forums right now and found a usability issue. I found out that you can delete posts and you have a restore button, but when you delete a post, you first have to go to the admin panel to restore it.

So my question is, is it possible to keep those posts viewable for admins/moderators only on the topic page itself?

Thanks,

Mitchell

Installed bbpress, but when i run it get the error http://yfrog.com/11errorcij

What is with the Menus in BBPress? Are they a feature of my theme? Do I have to hand-edit them in a php file?

I have managed to put a link from my wordpress blog to my bbpress forum. Now, how do I put a link back?

Hi I have customised the default theme as to make it match the rest of my site but I am having a major problem getting this page to look right http://www.supporttheanimals.co.uk/bbpress/topic.php?id=3 as you can see all the posts are towards the bottom of the page, could anyone tell me which section of the CSS of files I need to edit to fix this.

Also as a not so important but just an annoyance thing, if you navigate to another part of my site you will notice that the BBPress theme doesn’t quite match the rest of my site, mainly I think due to an error on my part with setting up the margins and padding but I can’t for the life of me find that solution either so if anyone can spend a moment or two to maybe let me know what I have done there too please?

If you need any of my code please don’t hesitate to ask you can contact me here or via email colin @ supporttheanimals.co.uk (without the spaces).

Kind Regards

I’m not after fully integrating my forum into my website, would be happy with a basic forum theme just want my website header along the top.

An example of this is: http://www.jfarthing.com/forum/

He has the forum under his header.

How would I go about this?

Some time ago I came across markItUp! – a markup editor written as a jQuery plugin. It can be attached to any textarea, providing editing interface to it. The best thing is that it that interface can be totaly customized and there are many sets that are ready to be downloaded, among which is a bbCode set.

I’ve been using _ck_’s bbCode toolbar plugin but it lacked buttons for adding colors and changing font-size, so I decided to swap it for markItUp. It turned up quite nicely and the code is dead simple. Here it goes:

First, download markiItUp, along with the necessery bbCode set

http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/downloads/download.php?id=releases/latest

http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/downloads/download.php?id=markupsets/bbcode

http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/downloads/download.php?id=addons/bbcode/colors

* the color set is seperate by default, so you’d have to merge it to the bbCode set later

Upload the downloaded files to a directory on your server (my choice was my-plugins/scripts) and include them in your template. You can do that using bb_head in functions.php of the theme (bbPress 1.x) or as a mini plugin (bbPress 0.9.x)

/*

Plugin Name: markItUp! for post form

*/

function mark_it_up_init() {

echo '

<!-- markItUp! scripts -->

<script type="text/javascript" src="' . bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-plugins/scripts/markitup/jquery.markitup.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="' . bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-plugins/scripts/markitup/sets/bbcode/set.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" >

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

jQuery("#post_content").markItUp(mySettings);

});

</script>

<!-- markItUp! stylesheets -->

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-plugins/scripts/markitup/skins/simple/style.css" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-plugins/scripts/markitup/sets/bbcode/style.css" />';

}



add_action('bb_head','mark_it_up_init');

* Or you could just add that code to your header.php (without the PHP function wrap-up).

And last but most important – include jQuery before markItUp! in your template. That is best done using <?php bb_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>

You can see it in action on the forum that I manage:

Hope that this will be useful to someone Cheers!

Hello.

I was wondering whether there is any plugin that would give me the possibility to go back to the main wordpress website (through the medium of say, a button underneath the header, or anything as practical as that).

If there isn’t any, could I get some advice on how to do just that?

I haven’t tried the integration yet.

Thank you.

Bob

Hey guys,

I’ve started sniffing around bbPress a few days ago and I wanted to integrate it with WP. I’ve simply followed the installation procedure and filled in all the data, integrated the databases and cookies and that works just fine.

When logged in on WP – I’m also logged in on bbPress.

However, I cannot access the admin panel of bbPress. When I try to do that I just get redirected to the forum’s homepage.

I’ve tried solving this by installing a few WP plugins to use the bbPress interface on WP and here are the errors I got:

Warning: require_once(/home/rockstar/public_html/rockstarplr.com//forums/bb-admin/admin-functions.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rockstar/public_html/rockstarplr.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-admin/bbpress-post-admin.php on line 9

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/rockstar/public_html/rockstarplr.com//forums/bb-admin/admin-functions.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/rockstar/public_html/rockstarplr.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-admin/bbpress-post-admin.php on line 9

The forum is located at http://rockstarplr.com/community/

I’ve checked for that file, admin-functions.php and I don’t have it anywhere. Seems like the plugin can’t load that file because it doesn’t exist. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!
