Theme & Plugin folders in-accessible

Published on November 22nd, 2009 by Michael

Greetings

I recently installed bbPress as phpBB and SMF did not work for me. Everything’s working peachy, except for one.

I uploaded a theme into the my-themes directory, and I now cannot access it. At all. I also cannot access the my-plugins folder. Their permissions both are 0750 (drwxr-x—). Because of that, it gives me a 550 error, stating that I do not have permission to access the folder. I can’t even change the permissions.

Is there a solid way to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Calling WordPress functions in bbPress

Published on November 20th, 2009 by Abhinav Sood

Hi all,

I am Abhinav. I am facing a slight problem deep integrating the latest stable versions of WordPress ( 2.8.6 ) with bbPress ( 1.0.2 ) on a website – I have completed the user and cookie integration and it works perfectly. All the settings are configured and saved properly. However after I add the line :

require_once(/absolute/path/to/wp-load.php);

to the top of bb-config.php .. Forums page goes blank! No errors, no warning messages.. Just a blank page with no code at all..

Before installing the bbPress live on the server, I developed the theme on my system locally and tested deep integration thoroughly a few times – everything works just fine locally but it’s creating trouble live on the server.

I have checked echoing values from the WordPress files that are loaded into bbPress.. that confirms that WordPress is being loaded properly.. But why isn’t bbPress loading after that !

I suspect that having WordPress installed and running since a long time already is causing the problem!

I have deep integrated various websites where WordPress was already installed and running for quite sometime without any issues..

Can it be a plugin conflict? The website is using 37 ( :-O ) plugins at the moment..

( Should I post a list of plugins being used? )

Can anyone help me out, please?

I’d be very grateful..

Regards..

mysql database, use new or existing?

Published on November 20th, 2009 by robie

Hi,

I have a wordpress site running now but need to know if I want to add the forum, do I need to create a new mysql database on my server or can I just use the existing database my current wordpress installation is using? I was not sure if I could fill out the same data in bb-config.php as I did in the wp-config.php file from wordpress.

Where is the timezone set during initialization?

Published on November 20th, 2009 by Greg

I have a strange problem. When I’m on the forum front page or a forum page, the timezone is set to “America/Los_Angeles “, but when I go onto one of the topic pages, it is “Etc/GMT+7”.

I am checking by using the PHP function “date_default_timezone_get()” in the header right after the <body> tag.

These two are different by an hour because of daylight saving, which is causing an issue with the simple-onlinelist plugin.

Where in the initialization of bbPress is the timezone set? Any ideas why it would be set differently depending on the bbPress page that is loaded?

If it matters, I have deep integration with WordPress MU 2.8.4a, which also has the timezone at “America/Los_Angeles”.

Thanks.

Let forum.php also show topic content

Published on November 19th, 2009 by Null

Hi,

Currently forum.php only shows the topic titles in the forum. I want to extend it a little bit and let it also show the content of the first topic. Example:

Current:

Title 1 (I have a problem)

Title 2 (I hate bananas)

etc

What I want:

Title 1 (I have a problem)

Hi guys, can you help me with my problem?

Title 2 (I hate bananas)

I hate bananas and you? I really hate the taste!

etc

Current forum code:

<?php



require_once('./bb-load.php');



$forum_id = 0;



bb_repermalink();



if ( !$forum )

bb_die(__('Forum not found.'));



$bb_db_override = false;

do_action( 'bb_forum.php_pre_db', $forum_id );



if ( !$bb_db_override ) :

if ( $topics = get_latest_topics( $forum_id, $page ) ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $topics );

}

if ( $stickies = get_sticky_topics( $forum_id, $page ) ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $stickies );

}

endif;



bb_load_template( 'forum.php', array('bb_db_override', 'stickies'), $forum_id );



?>

Seems that thread must be added some where and then only from the first topic (so no replies else it gets too big)

Any ideas? Also the template should be updated I think.

Kind regards,

bbPress vs. Simple:Press, WP-Forum, other forum plugins

Published on November 19th, 2009 by

I’m looking for a good forum plugin for WordPress, and bbPress seems like a good choice. The main thing I like about bbPress is its simplicity. Dead-simple to use, with no confusing toolbars to intimidate users. However, aside from installing numerous plugins, it lacks many of the basic features of a forum. In my view, if I’m spending more effort to get something to work as well as another solution, I’ll go with the alternative.

The forum will only be used for basic discussion, so advanced functionality is not needed, but its helpful and attractive to include a few anyway. Keeping it easy and intuitive yet functional for first-time forum users is key.

Right now I’m leaning towards bbPress, but do you have any additional suggestions?
