You may notice that the table row highlighting doesn’t work in IE (at least in IE 6.0 which many people use)

I found this easy, drop-in solution to use IE’s HTC support

http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html

save this file into your template folder

http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/htc/csshover.htc

then add this to your stylesheet

body {behavior:url("/path-to-your-template/csshover.htc");}

optionally but recommended, you might also want to add this to your .htaccess in apache since it probably won’t serve the right mime type for HTC by default which breaks XP sp2

AddType text/x-component .htc

Now :hover can work on almost anything in IE just like real CSS browsers.

(probably need a sub-forum for documentation)

I noticed the forum here never shows the “+x more” posts like my test forum does. How do I turn that “feature” off and show all the posts (with pagination) at all times?

What is that feature anyway, I don’t understand it?

Hello,

After installing the software successfully, all database tables were created ok but when I clicked on the link to login it repeatedly told me the forum software wasn’t installed. On checking I noticed two bizarre things:

1. Although the placeholder topic had been created and other tables populated, the forum table had no entries, it was empty, i.e. it had not created the first forum detailed in the installation to match the topic that was there. Creating a temporary entry with the id of the successfully created made the forum work, but then…

2. When I logged in as the user I created during the installation there was no admin option so I check the user meta table and it was down as ‘member’ and not ‘key master’.

I am using the latest bbPress (downloaded this morning), running php 5.2.3 and mysql 5.0.41. Both are near enough out of the box installations and working fully (the only change to mysql was to set password in legacy mode).

Please help as I can’t do anything!

btw, one other minor question completely unrelated. Why when I look at people’s code listed in forums or hyperlinks, is it chopping off the entry at the end of the line and not wrapping? I’m using firefox, haven’t checked against IE.

I’m a newbie on CSS, but i’m trying.

I put a logo on header and looks good, but on the profile page it appear over the tabs. How can i move the tabs? See the example:

Btw, the forum it’s on http://forum.omedi.net .

Thanks.

I have had wordpress 2.2.1 up and running for a while. I just tried to install bbpress, using the table prefixes ‘wp_’, since I think that is necessary to have any authors registered on my wp site to be able to get on to bbpress, and vice versa. My bb’s config.php has the same database info as my wp’s config.

When I ran the install.php file for bb, I recieved some errors:

Second Step

Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

bbPress database error: [Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD COLUMN post_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment

bbPress database error: [Key column ‘post_id’ doesn’t exist in table]

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD PRIMARY KEY (post_id)

bbPress database error: [Multiple primary key defined]

ALTER TABLE wp_tags ADD PRIMARY KEY (tag_id)

1. Created table wp_forums

2. Created table wp_topics

3. Created table wp_topicmeta

4. Created table wp_tagged

5. Changed default value of wp_posts.post_status from publish to 0

6. Added column wp_posts.post_id

7. Added column wp_posts.forum_id

8. Added column wp_posts.topic_id

9. Added column wp_posts.poster_id

10. Added column wp_posts.post_text

11. Added column wp_posts.post_time

12. Added column wp_posts.poster_ip

13. Added index wp_posts FULLTEXT KEY post_text (post_text)

14. Changed type of wp_tags.tag_ID from int(11) to bigint(20) unsigned

15. Changed type of wp_tags.tag from varchar(255) to varchar(200)

16. Added column wp_tags.raw_tag

17. Added index wp_tags KEY name (tag)

bbPress database error: [Unknown column ‘post_id’ in ‘field list’]

SELECT post_id, poster_id FROM wp_posts WHERE topic_id = 1 AND post_status = 0 ORDER BY post_time

bbPress database error: [Unknown column ‘post_id’ in ‘where clause’]

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_id = 114

Finished!

---

Now you can log in with the username “admin” and password “*Your WordPress password*”.

However, when I try to log in to my wordpress admin area as the ‘admin’ now, I receive the error:

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I am able to log into bb, but there are multiple errors on each page; this is repeated many times on the page:

“bbPress database error: [Unknown column ‘post_id’ in ‘where clause’]

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_id = 0

Anonymous.”

I would just remove the bbpress completely, just to get wordpress login working again, but bb seems to have altered my wp user data?

thanks

I don’t seem to see the page numbering for any template I try.

My test topic says at the top “7 posts +2 more”

should I not see a navigation with numbering for the pages ?

I edited the Karma Fruit theme for wordpress a bit to match the Bbpress theme. They dont look totally alike. There are some slight differences but I think when you look at it you think

of the Bbpress theme. I loved the Bbpress theme so much I wanted my WordPress to look the same . If you want the file changes let me know. Its just a few lines of css to make the difference in the original look for Karma Fruit.

Hi, sorry I’ve read and read and tinkered and tinkered without luck.

BB does not see the WP logged in cookie for some reason.

wordpress is in /news/

bbpress is in /forum/

I am using a plugin on wordpress to change the cookie path to “/” and firefox shows the cookie is indeed set to the “/”

the domain is set to “example.com” without the “.”

right now I’ve got in config.php set as

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘example.com’;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

So what little detail have I missed?

Thanks for any help!

I have bbpress(0.8.2) integration with wordpress(2.2.1).

I did not have any forum management before I add a forum to my previous wordpress website. Number of users are increasing daily. So as I did not have any experience with management of a forum, I have some problems.

In the beginning I installed to standard version of bbpress. After one month of forum experience, I want to add moderation plugin. Because my users are not experienced forum users. I have a range from middle school students to company owners or retired workers.

Some of the users sends strange messages, which I dont want to see on my forum.

Some of them do not allow forum rules. And some of them dont know how to use a forum. Namely when they have a new question, they write “I know it is not related to the subject …”.

I think what I need it to make the all messages for new users, moderated. Or all messages are moderated. I dont know why but the moderation plugin do not work with latest version of bbpress. So I have to uninstall the plugin and make messages un-moderated.

I will also try “move it” plugin, for unrelated messages to subject of message.

But what is the best management style for such a community. I think bbpress.org do not need moderation of messages, because at least its community know how to use a forum.

Is it better, not to waste my time to manage the forum. Namely no moderation to messages or just live what ever people writes to the forum. As I said before this is my first forum, and I also dont want people to use msn-type language usage. Am I fascist ?

Will it be possible to integrate comments into the forum?

I mean when someone posts a comment under my blog post I’d like to have that comment also visible as a forum post. I’ve already seen such a solution between Joomla blog and forum.
