Published on September 18th, 2009 by brightcoconutI’m wanting to limit the number of tags in my forum to a pre-defined list of 10 topics, and have members click/choose one (or more) when posting. Bonus points for having them in a drop-down menu… 
I saw someone wrote in a post, 8 months ago, “I hacked [my forum] so users would tick on tags that are pre-defined…” which is exactly what I want to do. Any ideas how to do that?
Help!
Published on September 18th, 2009 by franceshHi, I’m a total novice at this. Trying to set up a closed member only forum for a group. Will bbpress work for this? We currently have blog set up for group (irecee.wordpress.com) and want to add link in to access member forum from it. As we have no server for this site, I have uploaded bbpress to my org website (www.moldovavision.org) and hope to link from there. I have uploaded ok into new dir called ‘talk’. What now? I can’t access the weblink to activate it – tried http://moldovavision.org/index.php/talk which is returning an error code:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.
Confused. Can anyone help?
Thanks a mill
Links in the Header.
Published on September 18th, 2009 by InvTrdrI am using the “Structure” theme with the header.php file code below. This is the link http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ to see the layout of the template. Just change the theme to “Structure” at the bottom of the page to see it. I am trying to change the links on top to different links pointing to my sites. Like “home”, “Example1″, Example2” etc. Where and how do I do it in the code below?
Thank you.

WP & bbPress integration: what would you do?
Published on September 18th, 2009 by brightcoconutHere’s the situation: I’m moving a membership site from an old static HTML site w/ a phpBB forum over to a WordPress install and a bbPress forum. The WordPress site is set up, users added, membership issues handled w/ the WishList Member plugin, and my phpBB › bbPress conversion questions have been answered; my questions are about integrating that newly converted bbPress w/ the WordPress.
- Is it possible to use WP 2.8.4 and bbPress 1.0.2, or should I stick with bbPress 0.9?
- Is there any way to integrate the two that would allow for a continuous login?
- And perhaps the biggest question is: how do I upload/merge the converted bbPress database with the existing WP database?
- And once that’s done, how to deal with the disparity of users in WP with the old bbPress?
One idea I have is to create a new bbPress install that’s integrated with WP, and then once the conversion of the old forum is complete, to try to import that data into the existing install. Would that make sense?
Or, is it possible to just have the two databases separate, but use plugins (assuming I’m sticking with 0.9) to create the continuous login? Is that even possible? How would that share user data?
So, what would you do if you were in my shoes? Thanks for all your help.
changing profile in bbpress blanks the wordpress 'display name' field
Published on September 18th, 2009 byin wordpress’ admin screens, many author names are displayed in brackets or are entirely blank.
in the user profile area of the wordpress admin interface, these users appear to have a display name – but when checking phpmyadmin, i realise they actually have a blank display_name field in the wp_users table.
if i save their profile in wordpress (without touching anything), the display name is set again in the database and all is fine. if i then save their profile in bbpress, their display name disappears again.
this suggests that saving profiles via the bbpress profile page blanks out the display_name field.
could anyone suggest how i might go about tracking down the problem?

bbpress integration: unable to admin bbpress
Published on September 18th, 2009 by brokenclockHello all,
First, thanks for the beautifull Word and bb Press. But do you need more rewards?
Second, I’ve intall bbPress yesterday, and, after I’ve activate the WP integration, things seems to be fine.
This morning, I wanted to go deeper in the bbPress configuration. So I logged in with my WordPress admin account (by the way, login and password were the same I used yesterday for the bbPress install and first config). And, ugh, I can not access the bbPress config page. I suppose that’s due to the fact I forget to set the roles correspondances between bbPress and WordPress on the integration page. So it seems that my WordPress admin is not bbPress admin.
Can anyone help me with this mess?
Best regards.
That One last Smiley!
Published on September 18th, 2009 byI am using the bb-emoticons plugin.
For some reason the file path of one (and only one) of the smileys wont show up next to the new post section. The images source is coming up as follows…
hack=”/bb-plugins/bb-emoticons/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif”
For some reason the word “hack” is coming up in the source instead of “src”.
Also the “src” is randomly pointing to the “bb-post.php” file.
All other smileys are fine. Can someone please tell me how to stop a smiley from showing up? How do you delete one? I have tried deleting the actual image from the server and also deleting any reference I see to it in the “emoticons.php” file.
