Got an Idea?

Published on December 26th, 2007 by

This is stolen from WordPress Extend Ideas. I made (or I should say I duplicated or pirated?) this for getting your ideas to be my motivations. But, while writing this I found out this not just “Ideas”, this actually is an application of how to have different themes for your forums and topics. And you can also have permalinks like /ideas/ or /ideas.php.

No modifications on core files, but need to add two files. 1 plugin file, some modifications on theme.

You can see this “Ideas” on my forums. Scroll down to the bottom, you will see it. Click on “Got an Idea?” or “Ideas for bbPress” (read the URIs, notice the differences?).

This is not ready for a release, however you can download it from repository and read this draft documentation (if you want to play with it).

And you can post your ideas for “Ideas” or others.

stick/closed topics

Published on December 25th, 2007 by

You know how topics have [sticky] and [closed] before the title. It would be great if that text in both cases ware before link and in span like this:

<span class="sticky">[sticky]</span> <a - link to the topic

<span class="closed">[closed]</span> <a - link to the topic

so we could add icons to these topics in css :) for sticky it is easy to change in template but i can’t change this for closed topics

Hello To All,

First of all – thank you for the best forum software available for WordPress based sites. The package was simple to install, it’s streamlined, and works perfectly. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am running WordPress on my site located here: http://www.smartboydesigns.com/

and then I have installed and developed the forum software here:

http://www.smartboydesigns.com/forums/

The forum and main site layouts are still being integrated, but so far it is coming along nicely. I would like to know your thoughts on what I have so far, and if anything isn’t working properly for you.

Thank you, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Slugs vs Ugly Permalinks

Published on December 25th, 2007 by

What are your thoughts on permalink styles? Do you prefer Slugs or one of the ugly choices?

Personally, I feel that slugs are better for SEO, but I can see that the URL’s could get pretty long quite quickly.

Also, if you have a post with the same exact TITLE as another, will this foul up the SLUGS url’s?

Thank you for your thoughts.

Where can I get this theme?

Fatal error: During Installation

Published on December 23rd, 2007 by

Changed my config information & followed the steps at DevLounge

Now when i try to go to the install page @

http://the3rdplace.co.uk/home/bbpress/

I get this error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/

default-filters.php on line 81

This is line 81 :

bb_register_view( ‘no-replies’, __(‘Topics with no replies’), array( ‘post_count’ => 1 ) );

Anyone have any advice on what i should do ?

Many thanks in advance :)

(Installation Problem) Help , it’s gone all wrong!

Published on December 22nd, 2007 by

Hi , well today i decided to try and install bbpess and integrate it into my wordpress site.

The quick instructions seemed simple, now on reflection a little to simple.

Basically I copied everything from the bb zip file into the same root folder my wp site lives in.

Then errors started to appear , so i thought well I’ll just delete everything and try and use some more in depth instructions.

So I’ve now deleted every file I copied into the root file from the bb zip and the config.php file i also put in their which the instructions asked me to do.

I thought once i had removed everything my site would just start working again as i thought it would be in the same state as this morning before I thought about bb.

But you guessed it, it now doesn’t work. :(

My site is http://the3rdplace.co.uk/home/

Error I’m getting is 403 Forbidden

Plus

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /home/ on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I don’t really know enough to know where to start in correcting things.

How i wish i had a back up :( (i don’t)

Question is what have I done wrong , but more importantly for now how do i go about correcting things ?

Many thanks in advance :)

Apostrophe issue

Published on December 21st, 2007 by outchy

For some reason, I can’t submit a post that has an odd number of apostrophes in it. Here is the error I get:

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 't i use an apostrophe?
','2007-12-21 20:48:42', '76.24.176.14', '0', ' at line 4]
INSERT INTO thinkstorm_posts (forum_id, topic_id, poster_id, post_text, post_time, poster_ip, post_status, post_position) VALUES ('13', '7', '1', '

can't i use an odd number of apostrophes?
','2007-12-21 20:48:42', '76.24.176.14', '0', 11)

What should I be looking for to fix this?

I get page not found for install.php???

Published on December 21st, 2007 by

Hi during the install of bbpress something must have gone wrong since I’m getting a “page not found” display when I attempt to bring up my “install.php”

I’ll go over every step in hopes to find the problem.

When opening config.php I changed:

BBDB_NAME

BBDB_USER

BBDB_PASSWORD

BBDB_DOMAIN

and

BBDB_EMAIL

All to what those fields said in my wordpress wp_config.php file.

I installed my bbpress folder inside my wordpress folder.

My wordpress folder is directly under my site folder.

I do have multiple domains under the same server but that shouldn’t create any type of problem.

The location of my bbpress should be: www.mysite.com/wordpress/bbpress/

So I changed the value in my config.php file to the address above.

I also changed the values of >wp_home and >wp_siteurl

to reflect what it says under my wordpress/options/

Do you see anything that I’ve done wrong? Or am forgetting to do?

Can someone make a ticket for me?

Published on December 21st, 2007 by Ben L.

I can’t seem to make a ticket on the trac. Here’s the contents of what I want to say:

With the way bbPress is currently set up, an Administrator could, just by editing the profile of a Key Master, remove the Key Master privileges. I suggest editing Key Master profiles cannot be done by anyone but Key Masters, or the administration portion of the profile should not be shown to anyone lower than Key Master if they are editing the profile of a Key Master.
