Clicking on forum topics brings me to my main website

Published on December 2nd, 2008 by

I have renamed bbpress’s folder to something called “collectibles-talk”. I have this folder in my root along with WP. I do not have them integrated, they are separate, both using there own database.

When I click on any of the forum topics, say “Please Introduce Yourself”, it takes me back to my WP website, a 404 page. Any ideas? Here is my website’s forum, so you can see what I am talking about: http://collectibleswow.com/collectibles-talk/

Click on a forum topic.

Thanks

Messed up WP and BB integration

Published on December 1st, 2008 by

Hello, I’ve just messed up my work. I had WP in root and BB under /bbpress directory but I’ve decided to use BB in root and WP under /blog directory because BB suits my needs better. So I moved it around / changed the setting of both to reflect the new URL… but I can’t log in BB, it says user “admin” doesn’t exist (admin was originally created for WP which I installed first).

My BB homepage says:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) in /home/home1/novapojistovna_cz/public_html/www/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/home1/novapojistovna_cz/public_html/www/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 377

Now where do I start to fix it? Please help, thank you.

“Advanced” search options — where and what are they?

Published on December 1st, 2008 by block

Hey there, I’ve been poring over things looking for documentation on any “advanced” search options, like searching by user, showing only threads with replies, etc. Pretty much any supported options outside the stock text string search. (Dreaded vBulletin example here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/search.php)

Haven’t really found very much so far, except that it’s supposedly something that’s only theme-enabled. Can anyone point me in the right direction for docs, examples, or anything else?

after install, several broken links

Published on December 1st, 2008 by mzimmers

I’m putting this under installation because it’s never been “good” on my install. Several of the links from my home page are broken. Did I do something wrong with the install? It looks like bbpress may be trying to use a string as a full pathname instead of a relative path; perhaps one too many “/” snuck in somewhere?

Thanks…

please ask about specific plugins in the extend section

Published on November 30th, 2008 by _ck_

If you have a problem with a specific plugin, it is best to ask the question on the plugin’s page so the author, and other people with the same problem, can find it easily.

New bbPress users typically encounter the same problems and ask the same questions over and over again – you should review all the posts on the plugin’s page in the “extend” section for common problems/answers.

Please do not start new topics about a specific plugin in the general forum to try to grab immediate attention.

Attention Plugin Authors

If you are a plugin author, please check your plugin page periodically. Each Plugin has it’s own RSS feed which you can put into a feedreader (or Yahoo Alerts can email you when a custom feed url changes) to track new questions. If you do not intend to support your plugin any further, please let users know by either stating so in the readme.txt or posting on your plugin’s page.

Attachments, can they be 20-30 megs?

Published on November 29th, 2008 by

Greetings…after becoming disenchanted with phpBB our science forum is looking for a new home. But we need to be able to upload large documents, spreadsheets, PPTs, etc. for each other to view. If we can do the uploads/downloads of data….bbPress would be GREAT! But from what I can see one can only attach 100K docs. Is there a plugin for larger uploads? Server space is no problem for us.

Thanks! –Nick
