incorrect/old forum link names

Published on August 21st, 2007 by outchy

i’m having a small problem with pretty permalinks. when i first created a particular forum, i named it ‘general discussion’ but later i changed the forum name to ‘sk6ers talk’. the problem is, the forum link is still /forum/general-discussion when it should be /forum/sk6ers-talk. i’m having this issue with a few other forum names as well. any thoughts on how to correct this? thank you!

A very brief standards reivew…

Published on August 21st, 2007 by

Hello. I’m always interested when a new forum crops up. Just some comments about what I’ve seen just by having a quick look in regards to a standards-based approach to design. Please don’t take this personal at all. These are just my personal observations.

1. I notice that you’re serving the forum as XHTML 1.1 with a content type of text/html, regardless of the user agent. I thought maybe that you were attempting content negotiation, but I see that’s not the case, unfortunately.

2. Inline styling is used for the “tag cloud” could cause more maintenance down the road. Consider using CSS styles.

3. The table you are using for the listing of topics for a forum can be improved in terms of accessibility. (summary, caption, scope, etc)

4. Anyone with a colour deficiency might have an issue differentiation between the topics. The contrast between the white and the light grey is a bit subtle.

5. Title attributes could be used more than it is now. (Especially in the topic table)

6. For the most part, the HTML and CSS validate, with the exceptions of such things like <br clear=”all” />

That’s just a quick glance. Again, take this with a grain of salt. I’m just genuinely interested in any new forums that come out. Over all, not too bad of a job.

Session header problem

Published on August 21st, 2007 by

When including wp-config.php in my config.php with this code:

<?php require_once(‘/home/path/public_html/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>

I get this error

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /public_html/wp-blog-header.php:29) in

Everything works its just this message showing up. I read in one plugin support page when I was searching through google that I have to edit the session code to say :

@session_start();

Although.. i’m not quite sure where..

plugin Request=> notification options

Published on August 21st, 2007 by

hi again :))

al of you know that notification email is very important for tracing a post

i am using post – notification plug in

but it need to be better:

don’t send any email until you visit the post from your email link

i got crazy this month because for every new post i will give notification email and the trafficked of my forum is high

many other forum systems have this feature

so i recommend this:

an option for users to select didgist summary or per post or until he/she visit(default!)

Forum permissions

Published on August 21st, 2007 by

Hey guys,

I’d like to know whether there is a possibility to do either one of the 2 things.

– Close a forum from posting (read-only)

– Set all “top-level” (parent) forums to view without href and when accessed through typing url get a redirect to /bbpress

I need a quick solution so if anyone knows of any suggestions.. even if crude please let me know. Thanks!

Images, a pain in my side…

Published on August 21st, 2007 by

First off, sorry mods if this is a double post. I left a comment on the Allow Images plugin page, but I don’t think many people read those comments unless they themselves are having a problem. So I thought I would be better off starting a new topic.

I’ve been stumbling with getting images to work on my bbpress 0.8.2.1 forums for a day or two now. For some reason the Allow Images 0.7.1 plugin doesn’t work for me. When I post an image it gets truncated down to <img /> in the database.

I’ve tried using the two spaces before the ending slash – No Luck

I’ve also tried editing the bbpress core files like meeciteewurkor recommendedNo Luck.

I did notice that if I used phpmyadmin to edit the database manually and put the <img src="http://domain.com/image.jpg" /> code into a post the image shows up. So there has got to be a function that is filtering out the src part of the image tag or something :(

Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a function I should be looking at in particular?

admin page not displaying properly

Published on August 21st, 2007 by gro11ver

I installed and seem to have a database connection, yet my page looks like this: http://claystreet.uparkforfree.com/bbpress/index.php.

i cant find info how to fix this. thanks for helping.

Forum closed automatically

Hello, some forum is closed to me automatically. How I can make in order to reopen them?

This problem can depend on the number of the comments?

=) as the exclusive title text creates unclickable topic

Published on August 20th, 2007 by bobbyh

I had a user write a post with this title:

=)

This creates a post like this:

* http://www.kosmosity.com/forums/topic/?replies=1#post-2

I’m using the “slug” option on this test forum which uses the default theme and bbPress 0.8.2.1. It looks like the =) is being sanitized to “” (an empty string), which confuses bbPress and leads to that topic resolving to an error page. On the test forum to which I just linked, I have no plugins except WordPress Integration.

Has anybody else run into this bug? Is there an existing workaround? If other people can replicate this bug, I’ll create a ticket in Trac. Also, if there’s no existing workaround, I’ll try to create a plugin workaround.

Thanks,

Bob

Certain users posts not showing up

Published on August 20th, 2007 by

I have a certain user at my forum http://www.doublepeace.se/forum and some of his posts aren’t showing up for the rest of us. He took a printscreen and showed me the post but when I went to the topic myself I couldn’t see it. This has only happened to this particular user. Any ideas? :/
