New hook in bbpress

Published on October 10th, 2007 by

Hi,

It would be nice if there were a new hook implemented in the function : function bb_new_user( $user_login, $email, $url ) in the pluggable.php file. We want to implement our own algo to create a password for a registrar. So a hook before the new user is added to the database, would be most welcome. That way we can modify the password using a plugin before it is actually saved to the db.

grtz,

michel.

CSS

Published on October 10th, 2007 by

Hey everyone!

I’ve got a small issue, I was able to integrate WP and BB together and got the theme to match my website. The forum itself is taking the CSS coding and it doesn’t look much like a forum. Is there a way the forum can override the current CSS with the original CSS so it looks a little normal?

My website is nynw.net/newsroom

Editing Plugin files for Plugin Browser Installed Plugins?

Published on October 8th, 2007 by jolaedana

Hello all,

I’m using the Plugin Browser by SamBauers.

I have a few plugins that I was using, and installed through this plugin (great stuff, btw) that I had modified the files on slightly. Main example here is the Page Links plugin- I had changed the page icon graphic to be different colors. I would like to overwrite the file in the Plugin Browser installation of the file, however it tells me I don’t have permissions to overwrite the file- or change permissions on the folder or files inside it.

Is there an easy work around for this, or should I just go back to the non Plugin Browser version? Thanks!

I just wanted to mention that I’ve finished up my bb-Bluesands theme as a complement to my Bluesands theme for WordPress. Feel free to download and test it out – and let me know if you run across any bugs.

Error integrating WordPress functions

Published on October 8th, 2007 by

When I add the line

require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);

to my bbpress “config.php” file in order to give access to WordPress’ functions: my forum doesn’t load and I get the following message instead:

Warning: require_once(path/to/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thewayev/public_html/forums/config.php on line 12

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/thewayev/public_html/forums/config.php on line 12

It doesn’t seem to matter what line I put the code on, and as far as I know I’ve carried out every other integration procedure listed with no problems. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

character encoding in use display name

Published on October 8th, 2007 by oledole

I have changed the encoding in my database, from latin 1 to utf8, and everything is ok except for the display of the usernames set in wordpress “display name” and brougt in to bbpress with the “use dispaly name”-plugin. When I use special characters like swedish å, ä or ö, or e.g. é, they show up like �.

I notice that in the bbpress database, special characters that I use in posts are stored with what I think is utf8 in the DB (e.i. they look strange), but/and they all look ok when displayed in the forum. Names in the wp_users “display_name” however are stored with the latin character but show up wrong.

The conversion was made following this manual: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/06/23/how-to-convert-character-set-and-collation-of-wordpress-database/

Any thoughts on this, anyone?

newbie css customisation

Published on October 7th, 2007 by

hey guys,

i have little coding experience, i could do a fair pimp of my myspace page but that’s about it – this php stuff is all new to me. I’ve just installed bbpress as a subdirectory of my wordpress blog, and I want to do something really simple: I want to change the color of the rollovers when you mouse over the forum topic. On this guide I read, it said to change this line:

#latest tr:hover, #forumlist tr:hover, #favorites tr:hover { background: #330099; }

(specifically, the ‘background’ tag), but as you can see, although I’ve entered in a bright color and re-uploaded the style.css file, it remains a vague greyish sorta color.. where am I going wrong here?

Thanks in advance folks..

Post count

Published on October 6th, 2007 by kannued

My topics and posts in a subforum does not count in its parent forum. I have tried recount, but that doesn’t change the numbers in its parent forum. What do I have to do to have the topic/posts count also in its parent forum?

intallation error and question

Published on October 6th, 2007 by kblog

I just installed bbPress into the same database as my wordpress blog. Now I get an error when trying to use it.

test blog: http://www.kidoinfo.com/stage/

forum: http://www.kidoinfo.com/stage/bulletinboard/

Maybe it’s because I don’t understand the difference in one of the setup parameters:

“If you’ve installed bbPress into a subdirectory of your WordPress installation, define $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl as your WordPress blog address and WordPress address”

-I think they have the same address: http://www.kidoinfo.com/stage/

(not this is a test version of the site that is password protected) NOTE: if it’s not possible to troubleshoot this error because the test site is behind a password, let me know and I’ll go ahead and put it in the public site, but I’d rather not until it’s all set up.

Here’s the error I’m getting:

You can check the settings in wp-config.php and see if they’re the same.

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/kidoinfo/public_html/stage/bulletinboard/config.php:1) in /home/kidoinfo/public_html/stage/bulletinboard/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 37

and here’s the config info for WordPress blog and for bbpress:

WordPress:

wp-config.php

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘kidoinfo_wrdp3’); // The name of the database

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘kidoinfo_wrdp3’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxxx); // …and password

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

// define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

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

// chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

bbPress:

config.php

You can check the settings in wp-config.php and see if they’re the same.<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘kidoinfo_wrdp3’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘kidoinfo_wrdp3’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxxx’); // …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.kidoinfo.com/stage/bulletinboard/’;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Kidoinfo Bulletin Board’;

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

$bb->admin_email = ‘douglas.itkin@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 = -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 = ‘xxxxxxxxxxxx’; // 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.kidoinfo.com/stage/’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

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

Thanks in advance for any assistance people can provide.
