Hello,
I really like the theme that is using in bbpress.org. I recently install new bbpress for my Singapore Silverlight User Group http://forum.sgsug.org/ but the default theme of my site looks a bit different from here.
Where can I download the theme that is using in bbpress.org?
Can someone or me create the theme that exactly like bbpress.org if there is no theme available on the net?
Sometimes people will use my forum to communicate and sometimes they will email me. I have some good information in emails that I would like to get into the forum for others to use and I am looking for a best practices or easy way to accomplish this.
I suppose I can just post as admin and say that “Jeff asked: …….”
It would be nice if I could import the question into the forum as if it were posted by that user regardless if they exist or not. Perhaps something along the lines of mail2forum features?
Just looking for ideas here.
I am additionally curious if there is any sort of rss input capability such as an rss robot.
I have an existing WP install. My host provides a quick install using SimpleScripts. Can I integrate the two if bbPress is installed this way? Should I install manually? Do you know where a current integration guide can be found. Many on the web look old and it looks like some things have changed.
I’m ready to slug through this, but I want to at least start in the right direction. Thanks.
Hi!
I was trying to integrate a bbpress-1.0.2 forum with my existing WP installation and I found a funny bug.
If I open a topic and use the interface right to the title to add a russian-language tag, only the first half of a tag is actually added.
If I try to add a tag “mama” (written in russian, of course. I write here in english just for the english speaking people being able to read the post) only the first half of a tag (“ma”) is actually added. It happens everytime I add a tag with an even number of letters (2, 4, 6, etc). Tags with an odd number of letters are added correctly.
BTW every russian letter in UTF-8 is encoded using exactly two bytes.
Unfortunatelly, I don’t fully understand what the code does and the below is just my guess.
I guess the problem is in file /bb-includes/functions.bb-formatting.php either in function seems_utf8() or in bb_utf8_cut().
Traditionally, strlen() returned 8 for utf-8-encoded “mama”. In such case bb_utf8_cut() would work correct (althought I haven’t actually checked). But if one use php.ini mbstring.func_overload option to overload str* functions by mb_str* ones, then strlen(“mama”) returns 4 and bb_utf8_cut() thinks this’s is non-utf-8-encoded string length and assumes that the “actual” string length would be 2. That’s wrong.
So, my general suggestions is to fix somehow one of those functions to work correctly with mbstring.func_overload both set and unset.
The quick-fix for people having the option set is to add the following line at the very start of bb_utf8_cut() function:
return $utf8_string;
1. Am I correct or should I search for the problem in another piece of the system?
2. Would this “fix” break anything else?
Hi All,
I’ve moved a bbpress install for a client, and I’m seeing the strangest bug – Client has bbpress, and the bbpress “latest” plugin for showing the posts on his main page. The latest plugin works great, accesses the DB and all, the bb though – can’t access the DB. Same username/pass/database/host, file has correct permissions so it can read it – everything looks great..but BB continually can not reach the DB.
I’ve deleted/recreated the file, I’ve done it all – any tips? We rsync’d the files from the other host, and it worked fine prior.
This is my first real attempt at making a site using wordpress and using bbpress for the forums. Please take a look http://englishchile.com. Any feedback positive or negative will be appreciated.
thanks
I compiled a set of smilies and icons into a new smilie-pack for bbPress Smilies by _ck_.
Package List: http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/bbpress/new-smilies-screenshot.PNG
Download: http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/bbpress/new-smilie-pack.zip
If you’re not sure how to install the new pack, there is a readme.txt file in the zip.
Enjoy!
I want to replace the bb_post_admin text links with icons but it’s all down in the “bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php” file. And since I’m a designer with no particular .php knowledge, I’m stuck.
Is there someone with a solution?

Hey guys,
Our search is all messed up in Deep integration with WP.
Check this out:
http://www.pagelines.com/forum/search.php?q=localization
anyone have an idea of why this is happening?
Also how to you add more results to the search page?
Have been working on my forum recently, and I have though tof something I’d like to add to it.
Now, I’m no plugin developer, or PHP junkie, but I’d like to know what steps would be needed to turn @ links (mentions, like those found on Twitter) into links that take the user to a members profile page/or maybe even the member’s website (if any).
Example:
‘@matt’ would become ‘@matt‘
It would obviously have to scan through the post, check for any mentions, check if the user exists, and if it does, then apply the link. Now, I have no idea how this would be implemented – I hope to learn more soon. 
This may not be a very great idea to have for a bbPress forum, but I think it would be nice. Could anyone help me with this?
Peace, Michael
