Blank page while installing

Published on November 27th, 2009 by asterix35

Hi Guys,

I don’t know what’s going on, i’ve uploaded (twice in case files could be missing) BBpress inside a subfolder called /forum.

I could see the install screen, i put my db credentials, then created/pasted the content of the config within bb-config.php

When i move forward the only thing i see is a white screen.

Are there any specific mysql requirements ?

Here is an extract of my phpinfo():

MySQL Support enabled

Active Persistent Links 0

Active Links 0

Client API version 4.1.20

MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE external

MYSQL_SOCKET /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

MYSQL_INCLUDE -I/usr/include/mysql

MYSQL_LIBS -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient

I’ve already installed bbpress in the past without any issues, i don’t know what could i do to fix this ?

Minor theme-naming issue

Published on November 27th, 2009 by alexglewis

This is a VERY minor issue, but I think it’s worth pointing out.

I’m working on integrating a BBPress installation into a WordPress site. As I work with the client, I like to name the folders containing the current theme/template with the version number, to make it easy to backtrack to older designs.

So for example, theme version 0.1 is in a folder named client_theme_v0.1, version 0.2 is in a folder named client_theme_v0.2, and so on.

This works fine in WordPress, but NOT in BBPress. If I include a period in the BBPress template folder name, it breaks the template—BBPress doesn’t find the style.css file. So instead of using periods in the version number, I have to use (shock! horror!) underscores. As in, client_theme_v0_1. *Shudder.*

It would be nice, in a very minor way, if I could use periods in BBPress template folder names.

changing tag list view

Published on November 27th, 2009 by Null

Hi,

Currently the tags are displayed in a list like:

-tag1

-tag2

-tag3

Is it also possible to show them behind each other, saperated by a comma? Like:

tag1, tag2, tag3. Perhaps with some filter?

Kind regards,

CSS failed to load?

Published on November 26th, 2009 by

When I try to go to http://iapple.it/forums , they aren’t styled even though I’m using one of the default themes. It says “Failed to load source for: http://iapple.it/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css”, and I don’t know why.

Can't get to step 1

Published on November 26th, 2009 by

Hi,

Downloaded bbpress to http://gtwmbackup.dh.bytemark.co.uk/bbpress

However, clicking ‘Go to step 1’ doesn’t do anything. There’s nothing logged to Apache’s error.log. I’m using PHP 5.2.4 on Ubuntu with Apache 2 and MySQL 5. Any ideas please?

Regards

PHP if/else arguments

Published on November 26th, 2009 by xanderashwell

Hi all,

I’m used to using conditionals within PHP if/else arguments such as is_page_template, is_page, is_front_page, and so on within WordPress. However, I’d like to apply some within my bbpress theme (to change the title of seperate sections of the forums) and I’d love to know which conditionals are appropriate/different within bbpress.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Many thanks,

Xander

Install.php not included

Published on November 26th, 2009 by

So, I went to the intended URL after uploading the files to my server, and I still received a “Page Not Found” error. My host company says the following:

“Hello,

I have noticed that the website at the URL http://latestartermusician.com/bbpress is loading with the Page not found. I have noticed that you are using the third party application. The application is not installed properly. The folder ‘bb-admin/install.php’ is missing. It appears to be an issue with the Application package. The package itself does not contain the required file for the proper functioning of the site. Could you please contact the application vendor and verify this from your end? Please contact the vendor or application support.

If you have any further questions, please update the Support Console.”

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Header Invalid

Published on November 26th, 2009 by

I downloaded the plugin for WordPress 2.8.4, and tried activating it. However, when I activated it, I was taken to a page that said, “This plugin does not have a valid header.” What does that mean? I am so excited about using bbpress, but I can’t. :(

WP integration error broke my forum admin login

Published on November 25th, 2009 by federalist1

I was matching the various keys per the integration options and once I save the “secure_auth” key bbPress shut down logins.

All my admin logins fail.

The forums still appear but I cannot register or login.

2 problems to fix:

Restore admin login and admin panel

Figure out how to share the wp database

Help is appreciated!

Forums as Comment engine?

Published on November 25th, 2009 by Lethality

I’m looking to actually tie a forum system to a blog (Preferably WordPress)

Preferably all of the comments associated with each article would be viewable on the page as normal, but the user could also link over to the forum to read/discuss there.

The ideal situation would be that when a new blog post is posted, a new thread is created at the same time in the forum with the same title as the blog article.

Is bbPress up to this task, or is anyone aware of something that is more or less “off the shelf” with similar functionality?

Thanks for any help!
