plugin to restrict based on tags e.g., visible only if tag is for:user_name

Published on November 16th, 2007 by

Please provide some clues (best existing plugin for starting point) to develop a plugin that will display posts/comments to users _only_ if

1) they created the topic or

2) a tag in the topic is for:user_name

ps: of course, “for:” can be anything (using the same concept as in del.icio.us)

onvertigo.com – Talking Music

Published on November 16th, 2007 by Trent Adams

Just wanted to show off my newest updated version of onvertigo.com. Until we get an import/export tool that actually works, I am not going to have my previous forum as I need to install off a backup and that would be a pain. So, in the meantime, I came up with a small forum about music.

The design is pretty basic, but I wanted to see if anyone had any pointers on the design or comments to make it better!

I don’t register users in WP…Do I need integration?

Published on November 16th, 2007 by

Hi,

Probably a stupid question, but I don’t register users in WP, just ask that they enter name and e-mail. So, that means I don’t have to worry about integrating with WP, right?

Adding a template file

Published on November 15th, 2007 by refueled

I am creating a few new bbPress themes and would like to add a couple sidebars to them. Is the PHP include function the best way to do this?

(example: <?php include 'sidebar.php'; ?>)

It’s what I have been using and it works. But I would like to know if there is a bbPress tag out there that does the same thing.

Thanks in advance.

Getting same header, footer and background color as WordPress.

Published on November 15th, 2007 by

Hi there. I tried searching a bit, but I can’t seem to find a decent tutorial on how to use the WordPress header, footer and background color (of the main content box). Can you guys help me a bit in the good direction?

I have already installed bbpress, using the same database as wordpress and I configured config.php to match the integration.

Regards,

Getting “already installed error” on fresh install

Published on November 15th, 2007 by

Hi,

I am running a WP site and trying to install BBpress, but when I run the install.php file, I keep getting the “already installed” error.

Here are some things I’ve already tried:

I created a new test directory and installed a fresh WP out of box, and then tried installing BB press–same error

I checked my databases–the only two I have are my two Word Press DB’s none of which seem to have any “bb_” references to them.

Any other suggestions? Thanks in advanced!

Here is a copy of my config.php file that I am using in my test directory:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘areamomc_wrdp2’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘areamomc_wrdp2’); // 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://www.areamom.com/test’;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Area Mom Forums’;

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

$bb->admin_email = ‘*********’;

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

$bb->mod_rewrite = false

// 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 = -5;

// 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 = ‘********’; // 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://www.areamom.com/test’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’; // 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’ );

require_once(‘/public_html/test/wp-blog-header.php’)

x-victory.ru exploit?

Published on November 14th, 2007 by

When I browse to ourshire.net/forum, the status bar indicates something downloading from x-victory.ru. I’ve tried improved security via .htaccess, changing database password etc, but it goes on. Google lists this as possible “Badware” site.

Has anyone had this problem, or have any idea what I could try to prevent? No sign of damage (yet).

An additional forum is needed here

Published on November 13th, 2007 by Elias

I miss a forum here which allows bbPress users to announce their bbPress localizations.

Today, I’d done a localization of bbPress 0.8.3 to the German language (that link goes to my german blog posting with a post explaining my “translation philosopy”) which is available for free download now, but there is no good place to announce it. It isn’t exactly an installation issue, not a plugin and (hopefully) not something that causes trouble. At the moment, there is no good place for posting it, not even a “General” forum…

Line 80 error

Published on November 13th, 2007 by openartist

Hello,

This is my first bat at installing BBpress. I’m looking forward to playing with it if I can figure out what’s wrong with it. Can someone help me troubleshoot here? I think I read somewhere on the forums that someone had a similar issue but I can’t find that post again.

So first of all I’m integrating it a previous wordpress installation. I put everything in a subdirectory called /forums/. For the database info in the config file I put all of the same info for the wordpress install, I hope that was correct.

I have no clue what this is:

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”);

So I left it blank, is that correct?

Lastly, at the bottom I entered this:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.airshipleague.com/forums’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.airshipleague.com’;

Is this correct??? I’m not sure what the difference between _home and _siteurl is. I’m assuming that home is where I want the forums to go and the url is the domain of the site as a whole…But that’s totally guesswork. A lot of this database stuff is greek to me.

So I uploaded everything and went to install it and would continually see the error above the install wizard:

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock’ (2) in /home/content/o/p/e/openartist/html/airshipleague/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/content/o/p/e/openartist/html/airshipleague/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/o/p/e/openartist/html/airshipleague/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php:80) in /home/content/o/p/e/openartist/html/airshipleague/forums/bb-admin/install.php on line 10

I figured I would try and install anyways crossing my fingers it would disappear. The install completed and sent me a confirmation email. When I logged on for the first time above the forums it says:

If I try and log in it will hang and nothing will happen. If I refresh it will bring me to a login page with similar error messages hanging above.

If it matters at all I’m using Godaddy’s service which allows me to have multiple domains on a single IP, so the site is really a subfolder of my main url that airshipleague.com is forwarded to. I don’t have problems with that at all when I install wordpress though.

Many thanks for any help you can give me!

Tag Editing Rules

Published on November 13th, 2007 by Andrew

I’m looking for a summary of what userlevels have what abilities to edit tags. I would like to give subscribers the ability delete tags as well as add. Is there a switch I can throw somewhere in the config file?
