changing topic display order (in php code or db)

Published on June 9th, 2010 by KentonMr

I have a large number of topics within a forum that are generated externally with all of them having the same topic start, topic and post date (initial post)

The forum also contains other topics (user added) and of course additional posts which have later times.

The normal display shows the freshest post at the top Which is exactly what is wanted however the rest of the list (the as yet unanswered topics) are listed in an order that seems to be driven by the topic_id. This is not what is required for my site.

I want to change the order of these “unanswered topics” to an alphabetical sequence based on the topic_title.

Examining the table bb_topics and drilling the code from forum.php downwards it appeared that the USE INDEX() given to BB_Query was ‘forum_time’ This index is combined on topic_time and topic_id which explains the normal listing.

I changed this index to a combined topic_time and topic_title(20)

The result was unexpected. The replied topics are still listed first (descending time) however, the unanswered topics are now listed in descending/reverse alphabetical order!

Evidently the DESC sql is being added to the entire query – both time and title.

I have been unable to find out where or find an alternative.

Any suggestions welcome – and I’m quite happy moding the code though would prefer to make this minimal as it could make upgrades problematic.

Thanks in advance

Importing users from bbpress to wordpress

Published on June 9th, 2010 by ch8rt

OK, I’ve done the integration, and I think thats all working fine. The problem is that it seems to run off the WP user table, rather than the BBPress one which has all my members in?

I’ve tried to find a solution but everything seems to be about moving stuff the other way?

So how do I import my users from BBPress into WordPress? If that is actually what I need to do.

Thanks.

WordPress integrated bbPress forum mailchimp email widget buggy

Published on June 8th, 2010 by arcadedig

My original WordPress CMS theme can be found here, www.cfdblaze.com, and it looks great. The lower right footer widget area has a mailchimp email contact plugin. It works fine on the StationPro theme.

The new StationPro bbPress forum has the same footer widget area, but the mailchimp email widget in the lower right footer is jogged funny. www.cfdblaze.com/forums/ What can I do? I have looked at this on Safari, Firefox, and IE7 and it is the same on each.

Thank you in advance. I am certain our department will love this forum. Your support is wonderful, and appreciated.

Thank You!

Submitting registration form results in blank page

Published on June 8th, 2010 by sajp

Can anyone help me with this?

I’ve been setting up my own template for my installation of bbPress (modifying a copy of Kakumei), and at some point along the way the function to register as a new user has broken. Now when you fill in the registration form and click submit, you just get a blank page. No details arrive via email, but the user does appear as registered in the back end of bbPress. I can’t work out where the error is occurring!

I’ve tried switching back to the default theme: no effect.

My only active plug in is Askimet. I tried disabling that: no effect.

I don’t think I edited any of the core files (I’ve just been working in my own template folder), so I’ve run out of ideas!

Can anyone give me any other areas I should investigate?

Thanks!

Send email to all members?

Published on June 8th, 2010 by Marius-

Is there some way I can effeciently send an email to all members of my forum?

Unless I have to mark copy one at a time, I have found no way to copy several at once.

I need to send an email to all the members at once

where is it?

I’ve downloaded bbPress onto my Mac, put the unzipped file into a folder called ‘forum’ in my site, then uploaded the folder. What URL should I be using to find it now?

What happens when bbPress becomes a plugin?

Published on June 8th, 2010 by SgrWd

I want to setup a bbPress forum on my website EstateYard.com immediately, but my concern is what happens when eventually bbPress is turned into a WordPress plugin as they are planning to do? Will my forum members all need to re-register, and will I lose all my topics? Or will there be some way to integrate the entire database with my WordPress database?
