Switching from another forum software (MyBB)

Published on August 6th, 2008 by

Currently, I’m using myBB on my website (http://forum.compassionatechristianity.org). Is it possible to switch over the current database to BBpress?

displaying thread in html page

Published on August 6th, 2008 by

OK, I’m not sure this is the right place for this but here goes.

I’ve already set up my site. My home page is a wordpress blog that is integrated with bbpress. The bulk of the site is plain html pages. I find that when I pull a post out of wp and put it in a streamlined html page google does a better job of picking adds that match the content and I get more clicks on advertising. Now the question/problem. I want to keep the comments at the bottom of each post after I’ve moved it over to html. They are still there in bbpress and I can place a link to the forum, but I would much prefer to have the comments visible at the bottom of each post. If this is going to be too much work for someone literate in html, semi-literate in php and illiterate in css, then is there someone that can and will write a hack for it?

This username does not exist

Published on August 5th, 2008 by

ok, i downgraded from wordpress 2.6 to wordpress 2.5.1, and now I’m getting a “This username does not exist.” in bbpress when I try and log in. I can log into wordpress just fine, just not bbpress.

Hi all

After much tweaking & relatively extensive style changes, I finally went live with my website.

I needed to make bbpress fit in with the clean, simple style of the rest of the site & to be completely honest, I think I did a great job. Please have a look at the forum as well as the rest of the site to get a feel of what I mean by ‘fitting in’.

Comments are most certainly welcome, good & bad :)

my-plugins and bb-plugins, why do we have 2?

Published on August 5th, 2008 by Null

Recently, there is a standard plugin folder called bb-plugins. Why is that? What is the difference between this plugin folder and the good old my-plugins folder?

Can we delete this old one and put all plugins in teh bb-plugin folder? I would like to know this so I can keep my bbpress folder clean and not having X folders containing different plugins.

So why do we have 2 plugin folders and can we delete my-plugins?

Do we know where our members are?

Published on August 5th, 2008 by Null

Well do we? Each page sets it’s location (bb_location), but is this location saved for each user visiting this page? I want to use this so I can see who is at what page (with something like: select user where bb_loaction = frontpage) and generate a list of all users currently at the frontpage.

If this is not the case, is it possible (using a plugin) to save this info for every user? And how?

ps: it would be cool if when a user leaves the site, the location would be set to -none- or something. Perhaps this can be done when the session of this user is over?

Install error

Published on August 4th, 2008 by

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: hash_hmac() in /mnt/w0205/d37/s17/b02ae5ed/www/horsepages.ca/bbpress/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 341

Help don’t know what to do with this…

Is this because I set-up a separate database for bbpress?

If so how do I change the database settings?
