Is there a new function to permanently delete posts? I tried bb_delete_posts() and it doesn’t work.

Unable to edit/change user profiles as admin

Published on December 25th, 2008 by walkerevans

I’ve been installing a copy of bbpress for a new site launch for a few weeks now. Mostly it’s been going pretty smooth, but tonight I realized I’m not able to change any of my member profile settings as an admin.

My install is tied into WordPress, and I can change user settings from the admin panel there, but from bbpress I cannot edit any settings for any users but myself. It almost looks as if some required field isn’t being entered when I attempt to change anything. I get no error messages.

I’ve been wracking my brain for an hour on this and am totally stumped. I disabled all of my plugins but the problem persisted.

I need to be able to edit users! Halp!

Turning bbPress into a Link Directory

Published on December 25th, 2008 by displayname

Hello,

Because of the simplicity involved with bbPress, would it be possible to change bbPress into a link directory. I’m think this can be achieved by changing the new topic textarea into a url textfield. Then instead of the topic redirecting to the topic.php, it redirects to the link in the url textfield.

I’d be willing to a pay a few bucks for this.

Customize or arguments for topic_page_links? (repost)

Published on December 24th, 2008 by hotforwords

Sorry.. had to repost this as my last one broke and closed the post automatically as a result…

I like the topic_page_links() that exists in the kakumei theme, but when the number of posts gets too large it stretches out the page.

Are there any arguments for this tag to limit the number of pages it shows?

Here is an example on my forum: http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/

Or is there a way to use CSS to have them line break?

The navigation topic_pages() does a cool thing by breaking up the pages with the … but I can’t get that tag to work properly on the home page.

Thanks!

Marina

Codex linking?

Published on December 24th, 2008 by Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)

So I’m reading this blog post, all about bbPress and WordPress and I realize something. You can link on the WP forums to their wiki.

3. Link to Codex article by using the wiki code of two beginning and ending brackets. Template Hierarchy will create a link to that article in Codex.

I have bbPress. I have a MediaWiki. How did they do that!? I’d like to implement that!

Custom Registration Fields?

Published on December 24th, 2008 by Malice

Hi all,

I recently installed the bbpress forum (http://www.holysh1t.net/forum) on the one month old gaming blog www.holysh1t.net. The integration with wordpress went nearly flawless, the speed is amazing even on shared hosting and I find many joy in all the plugins! I am definitely amazed at all the work _ck_ has put in to them… he seems to have created atleast half of all the plugins available… kudos :)

What this post is about is a request to have a custom field in registration, which could be edited in the profile and published as a seperate field in the user info, next to each post. I’ve been looking if such a plugin exists, but could not immediately find it!

Would be great if it could be a feature to be considered, or if someone could show how it could be done (if it’s not too much time of course).

Either way, I love bbpress! Thank you for this great piece of software!

Happy holidays,

Greetings,

Nico

bbPress installation doesn’t check for DB permissions

Published on December 24th, 2008 by

I tried installing 0.9.0.3, and it failed at step 4 with a bunch of errors like:

bbPress database error: [Table ‘forums.bb_topicmeta’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_topicmeta WHERE topic_id = 0 AND meta_key = ‘name’

This is because in an earlier step it failed to create the tables due to lack of permissions. It should have caught it then, not when it tried to insert.

Old config.php detection broken

Published on December 24th, 2008 by

I tried installing 0.9.0.3, but I got the message telling me I had an old config.php. I didn’t – my config was named bb-config.php. It turned out the problem was that I was installing bbpress into a subdirectory of my phpBB forums, and it was looking at the config.php for phpBB. I don’t think that’s right. Here was my directory structure:

  • /config.php (for phpBB)

    • /bbpress/

      • bb-config.php
      • bb-admin/, etc

When I renamed my phpBB config.php to config2.php, I was allowed to proceed with installation.
