What is the recommended hosting plan to run this? I’m currently using shared hosting and was wondering if I need to upgrade?

Anybody have any real world experience to share regarding using bbP with shared hosting?

thanks!

I currently have a forum using Simple Machines Forum. Is it possible to transfer that data to a fresh copy of bbPress?

I’ve been wanting to set up a feature on my forums where a person who can change userlevels would be able to set a user to inactive or banned for a certain number of days/hours/weeks/months. I can’t figure out how it would be created.

Hi All,

We have totally revamped http://www.26inches.com with a custom look based on the “kakumei” theme. Many thanks to fel64 who helped bash some things into shape where my feeble brain failed me.

Hope you like what we’ve done.

Hello everybody,

I’d liek to know if there is a way to allow people to post without being logged in, without having to become members.

In my case the fact that people have to enter a user name and a email is quite better-not-to-post-incentive.

In WordPress there was a way to do that so I suppose it was alike in BBpress, but I could not find how to do it.

Thanks for help.

I have tried installing this on my server several tims the last 2 days with no end in sight. I have attempted two different methods, and both times, I am given the same errors. I am trying to install bbpress on jeromyboyd.com/forums (my wp installation is on the root), and attempting to use my wp DB, using the options in the config file to integrate it with the DB. I am for the most part certain I am entering the prefix info correctly, and don’t see why a bb installation would not work in the same DB as my p installation is, as from what I gather, that is one of the aims of bb. Regardless, if this is not so, let me know, but I have even tried installing bb in it’s own DB with the same errors as below. When I direct my browser to jeromyboyd.com/forums/bb-admin/install.php, I immediately get the following errors:

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: Access denied for user ‘thecross’@’localhost’ (using password: NO) in /home/thecross/public_html/jeromyboyd.com/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/thecross/public_html/jeromyboyd.com/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/thecross/public_html/jeromyboyd.com/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:80) in /home/thecross/public_html/jeromyboyd.com/forums/bb-admin/install.php on line 10

Below those errors I see the installation pages as normal, letting me fill out all the information and following the steps all the way through completion. I have checked and rechecked my SQL password, which I am certain has been entered correctly in the config.php file, but nothing. The bb installs, and I can even route to the front page of the forum, but when I log in, I get the same errors without the forum template below it, just those warnings.

Some guidance on how I can resolve this, as I am sure I am making a mistake on my side, but my knowledge of MySQL is limited. Thanks ahead of time.

I am trying to get the User Role on the posts page (that links to the profile) next to the poster name to display, on hover, a span containing this text: “View profile of *user*”. I want to make it clear that clicking on the user title (role) will send the visitor to the user’s profile.

To accomplish this in a very simple way I need to add a span inside the a tag, like this:

<a>User Title<span>View profile of <?php post_author(); ?></span></a>

And then apply simple css rules:

a span {display: none;}



a:hover span {display: block;}

Thus, I need to decompose the template tag “post_author_title” given that this tag already outputs the whole link, so I can’t add the span inside it.

What I have to do is find a template tag that outputs the User Title in just plain text, and I then recreate the link. I found “get_post_author_title” but I don’t know what it does. When I put it instead of “post_author_title” nothing renders (no text, nor link, nor error).

I also tried doing this just by css with this markup:

<a>User Title</a><span></span>

And playing with the selectors + and >:

a + span {display: none;} ---> This actually works



a:hover + span {display: block;} ----> This does not...

I hope I have been clear with what I want to do. Probably this is a trivial matter and someone could just set me on the right direction.

Thanks very much for your continuous support.

Here is my situation, I finally was able to install BBpress onto my server and got it to work, however, if you press any links in the bbpress it goes here

http://www.thegi.net/word/bbpress/forum/geekincognito

BBpress is installed here:

http://www.thegi.net/word/bbpress/

Naturally; word is installed here:

http://www.thegi.net/word/ but you can access it here: http://www.thegi.net/

What am I doing wrong ? Here is the config minus security PW’s

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘*******’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘******’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

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

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

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://thegi.net/word/bbpress/’;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘TheG:I.Network’;

// This must be set before you run the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘ryan.a.neff at gmail.com’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks, set to ‘slugs’ if you want to use slug based pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = ‘slugs’;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = -6;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = ‘0123456789ab’; // Example: ‘0123456789ab’

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://thegi.net’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://thegi.net/word’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

Any pointers? As well, how would I adapt BBpress to the theme I have?

Hello all,

I found on this site an address leading to “よくきたBlog” where ja.po and ja.mo files were available. I could use it for my forum but I realize that some part really needing to be modified. I tried then to open the ja.po file in PoEdit, which I managed to do. The problem is that when I try to save the file, it prompt me 2 errors:

09:57:33: msgfmt: K:..bb-includeslanguagesja.po: field `Language-Team’ still has initial default value

09:57:33: K:..bb-includeslanguagesja.po:323: a format specification for argument 1 doesn’t exist in ‘msgstr’

09:57:33: msgfmt: found 2 fatal errors

When i turn off the “create automatically an *.mo file”, the program save the *.po file correctly. I wonder how I can fix those errors (Cause it seems that the program will not create a new ja.mo file untill those errors vanish).

Thanks for reading

Hi all. I tried searching for this but couldn’t find anything. If this have been resolved, please link me. Thanks.

I’ve got a navigation problem. The Next link doesn’t work. I’ve got permalinks working, so it wants to send me to /forum/forumnam/page/2/ but all I get is a reload of the same page.

Any ideas what might be causing this?
