Heads up, pretty permalinks

Published on November 12th, 2009 by Xevo

Hi,

I was struggling with the pretty permalinks as many have before me, only I read everywhere that “Options -MultiViews” fixed it. Well.. for me it was the opposite, it gave me 500 internal server errors. My host is one.com, so this is a heads up for everyone that gets 500 internal server errors with permalinks. Try removing that line.

Need to import messages from old board

Published on November 12th, 2009 by a1000w

Have a current, daily-visited board on a site that I am moving to a new webhost….. where I want to use a different format. There are almost 1400 posts/threads on the current board. Can we import them into bbPress? Need info please.

Topics with strange status

Published on November 12th, 2009 by

I went live with my bbpress forum a few days ago. Today I noticed five topics with identical name and author in the admin panel, topics that does not show up in the forum. When filtering topics those are not visible using the normal flag, the only way I can see them is with no filtering (all). Did a lookup in the database and they all have topic_status=2.

Anyone having a clue?

Thanks

problem with registration and login

Published on November 12th, 2009 by fifthhouse

I have a new bbpress installation. When a new user registers, no email is received by them, so they have no password and cannot login. I’m not sure how to proceed in figuring this out…

Any suggestions?

Agree to TOC before login

Published on November 11th, 2009 by

I am trying to get members to agree to the terms and conditions by ticking at a checkbox before he can be logged in. Can someone tell me how to do this in the login-form.php? I added a few lines of code after the password label and before the <input name=”re” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $re; ?>” /> in the login-form.php of my template but not sure how to do the check if member tick on the checkbox when he click on the submit button.

<label>

<input name=”terms_of_service” type=”checkbox” id=”terms_of_service” value=”agree” style=”vertical-align:middle;width:1.40em;height:1.40em; margin-top:4px;” />

<font size=’1′><?php _e(‘I agree to the Terms & Conditions’); ?></font>

</label>

Is there a better way of doing this by using a simple plugin? I am new to bbpress and not good at programming.

Thank you in advance :)

change bbpress url for wordpress integration

Published on November 11th, 2009 by

When installing bbpress (for wordpress integration) i changed the bbpress url to /forum instead of /bbpress (they say there guess is usually correct, but you can change if you like) not realising that i would screw everything up by doing so. Now when i try to login to bbpress i get a big 404 error. I can manually replace /forum with /bbpress and it sort of works, but when i try to login i reverts back to /forum/whatever and i get the error again. How do i change this back to /bbpress so everything works? I looked in config.php, and setting.php but could not find the path or whatever it is that i need to change.

Post_Text Front Page

Published on November 10th, 2009 by Doobus

Is it possible to display the topic starters post_text on the front page? I’ve run into a forum explaining how to do something similar by using functions, however it only shows a snippet. I want it to display fully including possible images that may be included.

I’m hoping this can be done without a plugin.

A question about icons

Published on November 10th, 2009 by

I have what I hope is a fairly easy question to answer: On the WordPress side of my site (running 2.8.5), I have a custom script that loads a small icon showing the status of users who have donated to the site, as well as for staff members. As you’ll see below, it calls the user_id and then looks for and displays an image with the matching name.

<?php $user = new WP_User( $comment->user_id );

if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
foreach ( $user->roles as $role )
echo "<img src='/{$role}.gif' />";
} ?>

I’d like to introduce this to the forum side as well. I’m running bbPress 1.0.2, and it’s fully integrated, and I’m trying to add this to the standard Kakumei template in the post.php file, above the post_author_avatar_link line. It doesn’t appear to break anything, but it also doesn’t load the image, or show a broken image link that would hint that there’s no appropriate image to be found.

It also appears to recognize the WP_User term, but not BB_User (it breaks with an error when changed).

Any ideas how I can get this working for at least the staff levels (keymasters, admins, moderators)?
