Published on September 30th, 2007 by

has anyone expressed a desire to have bbpress integrate/interoperate with mailing lists?

Username with space works in WP but not BBpress

Published on September 30th, 2007 by

Just noticed, while installing and integrating WP and BBP.

In WP users can register with a username including a space, such as

“Mr Pace”

In BBP this user would not be able to log in, since usernames with spaces does not work. “Mr Pace” is correctly noticed in the admin control panel but when trying to long theres an error message saying that “MrPace” (without the space between Mr and Pace) is not a registr user.

Hiding Subforums on The Homepage

Published on September 30th, 2007 by

I am looking to do the exact same thing that has been done in this forum:

subforums and markup

I want to hide the sub-forums from being shown in the homepage because they take up a lot of space, but I simply don’t get it. When it says edit the templates so this looks like this. Which file in the template do I edit. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain how to do this.

Thanks,

K

subforums taking a lot of space

Published on September 30th, 2007 by

Hi,

I would like to work with subforums and sub-sub forums,

but obviously that takes a lot of room on my front page..

Does anyone have the same problem and has a solution for that?

I suggest doing something like this:

Forum

– Subforum1

–Subsubforum1, Subsubforum2, Subsubforum3, Subsubforum4

-Subforum2

–Subsubforum1,Subsubforum2

does anyone know how to? :)

thx!

Does the order of parameters in db-mysqli.php matter?

Published on September 30th, 2007 by chrishajer

Line 78 in db-mysqli.php looks like this:

$this->$dbhname = @mysqli_connect( $server->host, $server->user, $server->pass, null, $server->port );

I thought the order of the parameters was important, and should be:

host, user, pass, dbname, port, socket

From looking at line 78, it would seem that the dbname is set to null, and the socket is not used since it’s just not there. Is that intentional? Maybe the database name is set someplace else and is not needed here for this connection? Just asking because it seemed weird to me.

Thanks.

Sub-Forums (Hierarchal) DO NOT Show Up On Homepage

Published on September 30th, 2007 by

Hey!

So after the rather simplified installation and integration with WordPress, I finally finished setting up the forum section of my website. But after several unsuccessful attempts, I was unable to get Sub-Forums working. All of the forums I create just show up on the home page as a top-level forum. I then try to put it under a parent forum, but it just doesn’t work. I try everything. I am currently running the latest version of bbPress witht he WOrdpress INtegration Plug’-In installed. I ask that someone please help as this is very important towards the deployment of my site

THANKS!

backticks doesn’t work, term is not intuitive to forum users

Published on September 29th, 2007 by ballclub

I am the admin for a new bbpress forum. First, I cannot get backticks to work. Maybe I’m interpreting the word incorrectly, but when I try to use backticks, like this…

‘strong’bold this’strong’…or ‘strong’bold this’/strong’

it doesn’t bold the word. Please help. Note: When I try traditional tags, like bold this, it works fine. But I want to make it work with backticks since that’s what the help content on the post screen references.

Why can’t the phrasing for the instructions be more specific, like giving an example? And why can’t bbpress just use the word that everyone knows, like ‘single apostrophe’?

Secondly, most people don’t know what an ‘a’ is, or some of the other terms. This backtick content that comes with bbpress is not intuitive for the average person who doesn’t use forums that often. It would be great if there was link to a help file so the user can be shown how to construct backticks with some of the tags displayed like ul, li, img, etc.

Anyone hiding online users?

Published on September 29th, 2007 by intellivision

Not the whole list, but rather users on an ad-hoc basis?

So if a user is in a “hide” list, they won’t show up?

Jump to last post

Published on September 29th, 2007 by intellivision

I can figure it out with a little work, but I’m just wondering if anyone has written a hack to do this.

The link would take you from forum.php to the last post in (any given) topic.php.

Login Not displaying properly

www.cairoshell.com/forum

When I login and then close my browser, the next time I view the site again, I get something like this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/halfwayglad/Login.jpg

How do I fix this issue. It knows I’m signed in but I cannot access my profile until I ‘sign in.’ Refreshing the page only works part of the time.
