Can't get GRAVATAR to work in bbPress 1.0.1

Published on July 27th, 2009 by

I have created a gravatar, I have the hash and the link but don’t know how to make it work in bbPress. I did look through the forum, installed the bb-avatar but it only creates my gravatar for anyone and playing with the settings in the bb-avatar and with the settings in Settings/Discussion in bbPress didn’t cut it.

What is the scoop here?

Thank you,

Dan

How to put a link to forums on my WordPress navigation menu

Published on July 27th, 2009 by TonyVitabile

Not exactly a problem except I don’t know how to do this.

WordPress MU is in http:// <my domain>/worship/ folder.

BBPress is in http:// <my domain>/forums/ folder.

I have a page in my WordPress MU site that is called Forums. Right now, it displays a link to http:// <my domain>/forums/. What I would like to have happen is that users get taken to http:// <my domain>/forums/ when they click the link for Forums on the navigator bar.

This sounds like some kind of a redirect to me. Is that how this is done? How do I code it?

Thanks

Tony

Social It Plugin (Inspired from SexyBookmarks for WP)

Published on July 27th, 2009 by Gautam

Hi Guys..

I have just made a new plugin named Social It. The plugin is inspired from the wonderful plugin SexyBookmarks created by Josh & Norman for WordPress (and is almost the same like that)

It automatically inserts itself below the first post of the topic, but you can insert it anywhere on the forums. It will automatically fetch the appropiate feed link, description, etc.

It supports a variety of short URL sites to shorten links, I will improve this feature in the upcoming releases, like managing the links within the plugin itself, etc.

Please report any bugs you face, or request new features.

Here is the link for the plugin:

BBPress + WordPress Integration Funkyness only on Firefox??!?

Published on July 27th, 2009 by TonyVitabile

OK, this is weird. Just weird.

I’ve got WordPress MU running on <my domain>/worship/ (I’m building a site for a church). I’ve got BBPress running on <my domain>/forums/. I installed WordPress first then installed BBPress. Went though the BBPress set up & configured it to use the same cookie keys a WordPress. All is well.

I downloaded & installed the bbPress Integration plugin for WordPress. Enabled it. It spit out a bunch (shown below) of stuff it told me to put into my wp-config.php file. Which I did.

/**
* These defines are required for the WordPress - bbPress cookie integration to work correctly
*/
define( 'COOKIEHASH', 'blah blah blah' );
define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.<my domain>' );
define( 'SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );
define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );
/**#@-*/

Everything works fine in Safari on my Mac, but when I go to Firefox, WordPress shows me as not logged in. I click on the Login link & I’m brought to the login page. I enter my user name & password, check off Remember Me & hit Log in. And I’m brought back to the login page again, with no error messages.

No matter how many times I try to log in, this keeps happening. And as I said, it doesn’t happen in Safari.

Any ideas?

Can't enable user themes

Published on July 27th, 2009 by

Themes in the my-templates directory don’t seem to be applied correctly. They can be read but the thumbnail shows a blank image. When I apply, the forum works, but without any graphic element whatsoever. Looks as though it’s coded in html with the Times font.

Role = Main?

Published on July 27th, 2009 by Mark / t31os

Googled, searched the forum, it’s hard to create a specific search for something like the above without getting irrelevant results..

Had a dig and couldn’t find the answer….

bbPress 1.0

I’ve noticed throughout the default themes are references to..

role="main"

Firstly, what does this do? .. In some cases removing this from a template file reseults in the file not working.

Secondly, is there an alternative, these lines are causing invalidtions.

It’s not the end of the world, i can live with them, but some info on what they are for would be most helpful, if one of you lovely chaps could help.. :)

As a side question, and this one again isn’t a huge problem, i find tabbing in code in certain files causes T_ error messages, T_SWITCH, T_CASE, depending on where and what i’m editting.. I like to indent the code appropriately when i’m working on it, but as said i simply can’t do this with particular template files..

Any ideas on that one?

I’m using Notepad++ and Notepad2 for editting, same programs i use for modifying WordPress. I’m using the correct encoding, transfer type etc… i’m use to handling code..

Chat

Published on July 27th, 2009 by DKB

Is there a working chat plugin for bbpress 1.0.1 so that existing registred users can log in?

here's how to theme some error pages

Published on July 27th, 2009 by _ck_

I got tired of waiting for error pages that don’t crash the user into the default bbPress theme and logo so here’s a plugin that makes an empty post error message actually stay within your custom theme. I’ll make it into a formal plugin as soon as I make it a bit more robust.

Let me know of other common error pages and I will see if they can be addressed via plugin vs a core hack.

Topic Templates

Published on July 27th, 2009 by Burkie

I am working on a personal project over at http://noded.org and I was just wondering if there was the possibility of having more control over the topic pages. WordPress allows you to create different templates like category-2.php etc for each category, is there any way to achieve this for topics in bbpress. Guess an if topic 5 use these functions would be the best approach if anyone could help.
