Hey Guys,

I made a folder called my-plugins and unzipped several plugins to that folder. I can not see them in the plugins option and have no idea how to fix it.

Am i missing a step here?

Dashboard seems to load really slow

Published on August 15th, 2009 by unholyfruitbat

Hello,

I recently converted phpbb3 > bbpress 1.0.2 and for some reason now the Dashboard form the admin panel loads really slow. It seems like a mysql issue but when I check the process list it doesn’t seem bad.

Show post Author next to Last poster?

Published on August 15th, 2009 by Marius-

Is this possible? Is there a plugin for this?

As my forum is brand new, showing Last poster can often be somewhat monotone… Therefor I want to show the Author of threads as well. How do I achieve this?

How to sort on column heads?

Published on August 15th, 2009 by cruth

Not sure how to explain this.

But, i really like being able to just click on the top of forums to sort posts by number of relies and views. It seems like this should be a basic feature for forums. Is this possible for bbPress. I see its not possible at bbpress.org/forums.

As an aside, I am older than most people in these forums, so please understand this. Just a few words, one of the most disgusting characters in our culture was “the pimp”. Extremely insulting comment, unless you were in that subculture. Someone who was in the biz of prostituting women. I realize that things have changed. But, for me this is still tacky. Why not just say what you mean, such as “Promote your forum” or “Show off your forum!” “Pimp” is not cool, at all. Thanks

Topic Icons Default Icon (Advanced request)

Published on August 14th, 2009 by anandasama

I am using the Topic Icons plugin and it works great! However I’d like to display a “Default” Icon as a fallback if the Topic Icon plugin doesn’t do it for me.

Ever since I started using Buddypress and integrated BbPress, Users can now use forum in “Groups” section. When a user creates a new group, A new subforum will appear. So that’s why I need to have a fallback Icon. I can’t manually sit and add numbers everytime there is a new subforum created.

I already have a script for not showing these subforums in my Forums list.

So another option than using a default topic icon would be to filter these topics (From the subforums) out from the Latest Discussions. But then I need a script in Latest Discussions to filter out all topics that come from a subforum. I never managed to do that.

I use this for the forumloop:

`<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>

<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : global $forum; if ($forum->forum_parent != 0) continue; ?>`

But I cant get something similar working with topics. And Im afraid that If i filter out this I will have trouble with the page counter too.

Somehow the best solution would be a Default fallback Topic Icon. Anyone have any idea how I can solve this?

bbPress signatures with BuddyPress

Published on August 14th, 2009 by gerikg

WPMU 2.8.4a + BB 1.0.2 + BP 1.0.3

I don’t know if I should be posting it here or on BuddyPress.org I integrated those three to work together. I’m was planning to use bbPress signatures by _CK_. When you click edit profile you go to the BuddyPress side. The plugin is for BBpress side. So how do I get it to work on the BuddyPress side and the forums?

Unresponsive Admin link

Published on August 14th, 2009 by joshj

Installed bbpress successfully on personal WP blog. No problems.

Attempted install on second blog and I get an odd error when trying to access admin. After entering keymaster name/password and clicking login, I get redirected to:

https://(blogname).com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/

(WP plugins folder now seems a weird place to install, but I was just jumping in)

The redirect address just takes me to a “not found” page on the WP blog. So, I go back to the initial /bbpress/ location and the keymaster name shows as logged in. All links appear to function fine except for Admin. Clicking on this does nothing.

tranfer posts from another forum

Published on August 14th, 2009 by x_maras

Hi,

I dont know if I min the right category but i didn’t know where o post something like this.

We ve got a website with joomla and we are making the new one in wordpress.

Everything till now is ok.

Our problem is how to transfer the forum.

It is no need to keep all the data or the user’s accounts, so we said only to transfer the posts and the categories, and offcourse some details about the posts , like date time and person name.

We thought to make a new user named “old forum” and link to him all the posts that are not written by the admin.

Here come the questions(?)

How i can link in the database the posts and the categories?

Which tables do i have to use?

Is something like this possible?

Thank you in advance,

Dinos

bbPress showing weird posting times

Published on August 14th, 2009 by Spell

Hi!

I’m running bbPress 0.9.0.2 and I noticed that it shows some weird posting times on few of the last posts. It says that they’ve been written “-1 year ago”. Minus one year ago? What could it be that’s making this happen? Something wrong with the server clock? I haven’t changed any of my bbPress settings in a while..

Here is the board (in Finnish): http://www.viekkausliiga.com/pulina/

Problem is the “Pulinaboxi” thread. It says that a user has written the last post “-1 year ago”. This causes the sites front page (http://www.viekkausliiga.com/) RSS-feed parser to malfunction as in not showing the latest posts…
