bbPress.org

I’ve just installed 1.0.2, and it went pretty smoothly. I have a forum, it’s synced to my blog, and things look good. I can log-in from the blog or the forum, and the log-in carries over. However:

A — If I log-in from WP then visit BB, it shows me logged in as the admin and I can post but I can’t do any admin functions. Deleting a thread does nothing, and the link to bb-admin just refreshes back to the main BB page.

B — If I log-in from BB, it all works fine.

I’ve checked and re-checked all of the settings, but I’m obviously missing something. Any idea what?

I have a problem with IE not displaying the left bar nav when viewing the admin dashboard. When using firefox I can see it fine :

Forums

Topics

Posts

Appearance

Plugins

Users

Tools

Settings

In IE its just white space. Running bbpress 1.0.1. IE 6. Firefox 3.0.12.

I notice on this forum there are nice little page icons with page numbers after each thread topic – which plugins is this? Or if not, is at setting that can be turned on?

Thanks

I’m very happy with the way my bbPress them has turned out. I’ve even managed to fix my drop down menus so they work — my function that spits out the

• …

tags was putting the before the

tag for the level below. Once I fixed the placement of the tag, they worked great.

My problem at this point is when I view a topic, my IP address shows up beneath my gravatar. That’s not in the code in topic.php. I believe it’s coming from the call to do_action(‘under_title’). This seems to be the only place that the gravatars can come into the post, as there doesn’t seem to be anything in the topic.php file related to them.

Any ideas are appreciated.

I’m beginning to experience an issue where-by when a certain arbitrary number of posts (or pages it seems) is reached, bbpress stops a) going to the latest page/post and brings you to the last full page. When you post a new post, it gets posted, but there is no way view this post unless you manually change the url to /[pagenumber]

if you go to our forum and follow the following link (which is the link from the mainpage to the most recent post) http://www.aethereverywhere.com/discuss/topic/what-are-you-listening-to-right-now/page/8#post-736 you’ll see that it takes you to page 8, and to the bottom of that page – but in fact there are more pages than 8 as if you change the url manually to http://www.aethereverywhere.com/discuss/topic/what-are-you-listening-to-right-now/page/9

you’ll be taken to the actual latest post.

I’m completely lost. I noticed that if i change the number of posts to display per page, it sort of resets the forum and lets you view the last posts, but once it reaches the next arbitrary page number, once again you top being able to view pages and posts after that.

If anyone can please help i would be so grateful i’m afraid this is beyond my area of expertise. PS. i do know for a fact that posts and posters are not getting moderated, though it may be related to askimet somehow.

Both systems are using the same database, and they each recognize my User account information. However, when I log into one, it doesn’t log me into both.

A quick suggestion to make finding things easier on large forums (i.e. WordPress.org/support), could you add date-based filtering options (i.e. options to only show posts/topics from the last 24hrs, week, month, year) so you can narrow an issue that may be recent.

I am having a slight dilemma, I am trying to retrieve the current user id value using $bb_current_user->id and it keeps getting a null value. I can display the value outside of my plugin by calling it anywhere in the template. I have tried making it global inside the plugin, but the variable declaration is before any functions.

$bbppv=$bb_current_user->id;

any help would be greatly appreciated

I’ve got my forum set in German and had some trouble displaying various characters, so I followed a few hints in various topics around here and set my database collocation from utf-8_general_ci to utf-8_bin.

That in itself didn’t change the problem – that didn’t disappear until I converted the front-page.php from being encoded in ANSI to being encoded in utf-8. Since that took care of the problem, I converted all other files I’d been using lately (profile, topic, etc) to utf-8, figuring that it was my mistake for not having notepad++ set properly when I started out with it.

Everything is now displaying properly except for the profile page which simply will not load. I am getting timeout errors, e.g.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in … /forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-formatting.php on line 257

or

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in …/forum/bb-includes/backpress/functions.plugin-api.php on line 136

or

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in …/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 844

If I hit refresh, it shows up with a different line in any of those files. They all have something to do with the encoding, from what I can see.

So I changed back the database collation, and converted the files into ANSI again, and deactivated any plugin that directly links into the profile page (the subscribe to topics plugin). No change. No profile. Still the same error messages.

Could anyone point me into the right direction of where to look? If there’s anything more you need to know, I’ll gladly mail the details.

Hi and hello.!

In my forum.php I use the following lines to show different content based on the forum-id:

<?php if ( $forum_id == '2' ) : ?>

blablabla

<?php elseif ( $forum_id == '3' ) : ?>

blablabla1

<?php else : ?>

blablabla2

<?php endif; ?>

Now, I need to show different content inside the topics (topic.php) based on witch forum the topic is posted in. For example if the topic is posed in forum_id 2, I would like to show “this post was posted in forum_id 2…”

Any idea what I might use to make this come thru? I am running bbPress 1.1.

– Thanks!
