multiple forums in a single database – Change prefix to what?

Published on December 18th, 2007 by Jonathon N

config-sample.php says:

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores

I do want to have multiple forums in a single database.

Why do I need to change it from bb_?

What would be intelligent to change it to?

Duh?

Thanks

Extended descriptions for forums?

Published on December 18th, 2007 by alderete

I want to be able to put an extended description for a forum on that forum’s page. But I don’t want this extended description to show up in the listing of forums.

In other words, what I really want is for a forum to have *three* pieces of information for it, instead of just two:

– Name

– Short description (or sub-heading, or list view description)

– Full description

Then I want to be able to use the short description where the description is currently used, and add the full description to the forum’s page.

Is there any way to do something like this, even an ugly hack?

Posts lost :(

Published on December 17th, 2007 by

This morning when I logged in, I noticed a big chunk of the posts on my forum were gone. I still have posts from the beginning and some recent ones, but a large batch of posts from the middle was lost :(

Any ideas on why or how I could get them back ?

Forum linking back to blog page

Published on December 17th, 2007 by dixonge

For some reason my forum links just take me back to my blog’s main page.

http://thedixons.net/forums

The URL appears to be right, but all forum links display the main site page.

What did I do wrong?

Having trouble integrating WP functions

Published on December 16th, 2007 by

Hi,

I have bbPress running along with WordPress. It’s working fine so far, but now I’m trying to use WP functions in my bbPress theme.

I followed the directions and added “require_once(‘/var/www/web7/web/wp-blog-header.php’);” to the top of my bbPress config.php file.

But all I get is “Connection Reset by Server” when I open bbPress. As soon as I remove that line, it’ll work again, but without the WP functions, of course.

What am I doing wrong here?

having some problems with installing:

install.php gives me this warning:

…bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 61

…bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 73

DB_HOST is not localhost, changed to db server mt info,

apparently it won’t support the db host name?

Help:I can’t see my themes even the default theme

Published on December 16th, 2007 by dupola

I use BBPress 0.8.3 here:http://bbpress.org.ru

but I can’t see my custom themes even the default theme in the panel.I can only see”Dashboard Users Content “when I login to panel…

Why?

Update:My forum has upgraded to 0.8.3 from 0.8.2,I find there add two options about Mysql Datebase in the config.php of the new version(0.8.3) .It set the Datebase CHARSET and COLLATE to utf8.

Then I created a new Mysql datebase and set the config.php correctly,but when I install it,it said:

“Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/.lewis/okokb/bbpress/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80”

then I check the line 80 of the file,db-mysqli.php,it looks seem that the version of my Mysql Datebase must be 4.1.0?

isn’t it? but my Mysql datebase are all above 4.1.0.

But I saw that,when I signup with a new Datebase,I can see my custom themes in the panel.

Now I want to know,if BB require only 4.1.0(the version of the mysql datebase)….

I’m very sorry about that my English is not good,I hope you can understand what I mean….

Thanks all.

database MINOR issue

Published on December 15th, 2007 by

hello (again)

I have noticed the same ‘problem’ with wp: whenever you create a user for testing purposes (his user ID is suppose X) and delete him you obiviously notice by creating another one (again) his NEW user ID is X+1 and so on. I don’t know if I made myself clear BUT how can you fix this issue? Even if there is no automatic solution what do I have to modify in the database by using phpmyadmin so only ACTUAL users have user IDs.

thanks
