Newsletter plugin

Published on November 4th, 2008 by danbbpress

I know this issue has been raised several times before (example posts: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/newsletter-by-email#post-3596 , https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-weekly-newsletter#post-16847 ).

I too would find it very helpful to have a way of sending out a newsletter to forum members (with the option to opt in at signup). I do not use WordPress on my website so integrating BBPress with WP is not an option. Is a newsletter plugin for BBPress going to be developed?

Thanks.

Email notifications turned on by default?

Published on November 4th, 2008 by danbbpress

I just installed this plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/ that automatically adds new posts to an author’s favorites. However, in order for the post’s author to receive a notification email for a new post he/she must also turn on email notifications in the admin area.

My question: is there a way to change the code to have these email notifications turned on by default?

here’s how to add front page pagination (page numbers)

Published on November 4th, 2008 by _ck_

update: I’ve now included this functionality in the topics-per-page plugin so use that instead which is maintained and not this mini-plugin which will not work properly with 1.0a

Here’s something I had made a mental note of quite awhile ago but forgot to do, add pagination to the front-page for the latest discussions. You can see a demo near the bottom of http://bbshowcase.org/forums/

(the following two functions are included in the 0.0.4 version of topics-page-page plugin, so don’t use them if you have that)

add_filter('get_latest_topics_limit','front_page_pagination',999);
function front_page_pagination($limit="") {
global $page;
if (is_front() && $page>1) {$limit.=" OFFSET ".($page-1)*bb_get_option('page_topics');}
return $limit;
}
function front_page_pages() {
global $page, $bbdb;
echo get_page_number_links( $page, $bbdb->get_var("SELECT SUM(topics) FROM $bbdb->forums"));
}

1. add to your front-page.php template

<div class="nav"><?php front_page_pages(); ?></div>

AFTER

<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
</table>

2. If you use rewrite slugs you MUST add the following rule to your .htaccess file

RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/?page=$1 [L,QSA]

anywhere before </IfModule>

where /forums/ is the path to your bbpress install.

integrate design

Published on November 4th, 2008 by mutsop

Hi guys

How would you guys integrate your designs into a blog?

I mean I tried using pages and set in the html editor ‘include php page’, but didn’t work.

The template I made for my website (wordpress script of course) is very simple, with a header.php, index.php, footer.php

the index.php consists of the container and sidebar.

How would you include this into the container?

Adding text to First Page

Published on November 4th, 2008 by keress

We are setting up a private forum and need to have a few paragraphs show, describing what it’s about and who should consider registering. At this point, to the unregistered/unlogged in there’s no text at all

http://www.addiva.net/bbpress/

How do I go about adding it? What file in the template is controlling this?

How to move a forum?

Published on November 3rd, 2008 by

I need to move bbpress forums to another host. I’ve looked about for an import/export function in the Admin area, but didn’t find one.

Is there any solution besides manually tinkering with the database?

Thank you.

Name-based pretty permalinks not working

Published on November 2nd, 2008 by agitainment

Hi, there.

I have been able to get numeric pretty permalinks to work on my bbpress site (http://agitainment.com/ics/forum/) but not the name-based permalinks, which is what I’d like to have.

I’m using 1and1 hosting, and I followed the setup at https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks. I added Options -MultiViews to the top of the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php in my .htaccess file (as detailed at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dropping-multiviews-support#post-16050). In addition I have set $bb->mod_rewrite = true in my bb-config.php. My forums are in the same database as WordPress.

Any idea on how to get the name based permalinks working?

Cheers.

Styling 404 page

Published on November 2nd, 2008 by agitainment

Hi, there.

I’m trying to figure out how to get my theme (http://agitainment.com/ics/forum/) to use the 404.php page that I’ve styled to fit with my theme. Currently all 404’s are using the default provided by my host or the bbPress die page.

Any ideas?

Cheers!
