Can we do includes?

Published on July 17th, 2007 by silverwing

Is there a way to add an include in a bbpress theme? I want to add some content in the pages that will change, and I just want to change one file instead of multiple ones.

Something like this <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/featured.php'); ?> from my wordpress theme. But have featured.php in my bbpress theme folder.

Need Help With Install – Is this config filled out correctly?

Published on July 17th, 2007 by Ron Pemberton

I have spent three hours trying to figure out what I’m doing – can someone tell me if this config.php is correct?

I have placed xxx’s in place of password, etc..

<?php

$bb->WP_BB = true;

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

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘xqyevao_wrdp1’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘xqyevao_wrdp1’); // Your MySQL username

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

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

// 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://teachtheboss.com/forums/’;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Teach The Boss Forums’;

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

$bb->admin_email = ‘ronaldp423xxxxx.com’;

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

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

// 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 = ‘xxxxxxxx’; // 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://teachtheboss.com’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’

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

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

It appears this form is based upon Kakumei0.01 theta-beta and customized.

How to find available plugins?

Published on July 16th, 2007 by Inquirer

I just installed bbPress.

Now, I need to learn how to customize the forum’s appearance.

Apparently, a lot of customization done through plugins.

I found the following:

Using Plugins

To use a plugin, simply create a directory in your main bbPress directory called my-plugins and put the plugin file in it. bbpress does not currently have a plugin activation/deactivation interface like WordPress’. Any .php file in your /my-plugins directory will be run.

Looking for plugins? Try our plugin browser https://bbpress.org/plugins/

I like adding the ‘This topic is one of your favorites’ feature.

How would I find if this is an available plugin?

If so how would I find where to download it?

WordPress/BBPress Single Sign On

Published on July 16th, 2007 by Andrew

I’ve read through multiple posts about WordPress/BBpress integration but cannot find the answer to one question.

Is single sign on supported?

I understand that the same username and password is shared between the two sites, but if I log into WordPress do the same cookies automatically log me into BBpress?

Trying to make a job board using BBpress, but have some decision problems

Published on July 16th, 2007 by

Hello,

I am planning to make a Job Board using BBpress (after 8 months of research, i though this is the best thing), but i have been having some problems trying to decide some things and i was wondering if someone would help me out here.

So each thread will be one job post, and that thread will be locked.

What i cant figure out is what will the employer use to sign in?

Well, i want the username to actually be the name of the employer. For example, if the employer is Microsoft, then the employer will post a job post (ie;make a thread).

So what is the problem with that?

If i (the job board owner) wanted to populate my job board, and make job posts of Microsoft jobs taken from there website, i would have to make a username called ‘Microsoft’. Ok, thats cool. But then, one day, when Microsoft wants to post jobs themselves, they wont be able to becuase the username ‘Microsoft’ has already been taken.

So how is this problem solved? Well, the best solution is to have Guest posting, but that is not avaliable yet.

So does anyone have any ideas on what i can do?

Thanks.

current bbpress support forum template – time for update?

Published on July 16th, 2007 by _ck_

Any chance you’ll switch to the new wider template here?

Narrow templates require too much up/down action and look kinda 1990’s-ish – might be turning off some potential new <s>victims</s> users.

Also, did the overflow:auto get removed for posts? I am noticing this week that posts with wide code seem to be overflow:hidden and the text gets cut off. Didn’t do that before… used to get scroll arrows…
