bbPress.org

I’m in the early stages of setting up a forum for students in my local area. Here is my progress thus far:

http://www.cabbagemedia.com/students/forums

I have a few basic questions.

1) POSTING PICTURES

I downloaded this plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/?replies=29

But have absolutely no idea what to do with it. The instructions tell me this: “Add the allow-images.php file to bbPress’ my-plugins/ directory.”

But where is the directory? I can’t find it anywhere in my admin centre on the forum.

2) CHANGING THE LAYOUT

My admin centre only gives me two choices – green and blue. How do I change the layout entirely, ie. adding my own banner at the top?

I have a really weird issue, whenever I try to create a new group or forum on my BBPress forum, there is a split second delay where it goes to my 404 page, then it refreshes quickly and finishes what its supposed to do. Its kind of confusing to understand. check out www.pedalmovement.com to see the problem

HTTPS [SSL] AJAX calls to bb-admin/admin-ajax.php fail when the page making the call is over HTTP. I believe the inverse is true too.

For example, while reading a topic over HTTP and clicking “Add this topic to your favorites”, the AJAX call fails because admin-ajax.php is accessed over HTTPS. Nothing is added to your favorites.

This issue is occurring at Network Solutions, but I haven’t determined yet whether it’s server-related or browser-related.

…in order to be formatted. Without a division, my changes (padding and margins) didn’t take on the list, and instead inherited the properties from the container division (main).

Quite simple…on line 221 of functions.bb-template.php, I just changed:

$list = “<ul id=’profile-menu’>”;

to:

$list = “<div id=’profile-menu’><ul id=’profile-menu’>”;

and, of course, closed it a few lines below.

It’d be nice to have this added to the next revision, so I don’t have to re-insert it.

Thanks…

Hi,

I’m working on integrating my bbpress and wordpress sites, and I appear to have done some serious damage.

My forum now does not allow me to login. http://bit.ly/aJzdNs

Any ideas?

Would love constructive feedback as we just just switched our whole e-zine over from JOOMLA.

Hello,

When my members post, their I.P. addresses show on the side of their usernames. How do I stop this from happening?

Thank you.

Hi,

I would like to get the same avatar in bbpress as in WordPressMU. On this moment, the WordPressMU and bbpress avatars are different. Is there a plugin to get the same avatar from WordPressMU in bbpress?

Thanks,

Leander

Hi,

I want to close my forum to (new and old) members, and make it a read only forum.

What do I need to do to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Purely a matter of taste – and a chance for everyone to weigh-in with their own opinion without anyone being “wrong” – what’re your preferred development tools when dealing with PHP, and more specifically, with WordPress / bbPress code?

In my day-job I live and breath Java code and use JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA, which itself doesnt support PHP out of the box but a sister product from JetBrains (was called “WebIDE” and now I think is “PHPStorm”) does an exceptionally good job of supporting development in PHP. I was also pleasantly surprised and find myself occasionally using NetBeans v6.8 too. Both development environments allow very fast cross-referencing of methods. Both tools mirror local development remotely – handling the upload/download of changes.

If I’m not in an IDE, then it’s TextWrangler on my Mac or UltraEdit on a PC, uploads handled using FileZilla.
