Just change <code>$to=bb_get_option('from_email');</code> into <code>$to="whatever@example.com";</code>

Greetings! _ck_ Hope you're doing good! -- I found your code for New user notification <pre><code>$message .= sprintf(__('Profile: %s'), get_user_profile_link($user_id)) . "\r\n\r\n"; $to=bb_get_option('from_email'); if (!$to) {$to=bb_get_option('admin_email');} @bb_mail($to , sprintf(__('[%s] New User Registration'), bb_get_option('name')), $message, '' ); }</code></pre> Is it possible to change admin_email to something else? My admin email is <a href="mailto:admin@mydomain.com">admin@mydomain.com</a> and I want to sent new user notifications to <a href="mailto:notify@example.com">notify@example.com</a> and I don't want to change my admin email! -- Possible? Any help? Thanks

33554432 bytes = 32 megabytes This is probably the memory limit of your PHP settings. Either change the php.ini or try putting this in <code>bb-config.php</code> <code>ini_set("memory_limit","40M");</code> But bbpress should not be taking that much memory in the first place, so there is probably some code somewhere misbehaving.

My bbpress 1.1 installation has been working fine until just now. When I try to go to a member profile page I get this error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in Any ideas how to fix this? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

I was already on that path when you responded. Thanks! Got it fixed!

_ck_ — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:47:12 +0000

Why don't you just search bb-attachments-init and find <code><div class='indent'></code> and make it <code><div id='content_holder'></code>

mccawphoto on "bb attachments"

mccawphoto — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:42:40 +0000

Well it actually does have a header and footer and this is only happening on this page. The header and footer are being pulled in but the divs I have that wrap around the content area are missing. Is there a way to at least remove this link so this page can't be accessed? It seems like for some reason the <div class="indent"> is replacing my <div id=content_holder> instead of being place inside it.

_ck_ on "bb attachments"

_ck_ — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:24:02 +0000

I certainly hope your theme has a header and footer, that's what it's using. If you do, are there any other plugins that affect themes?

Do you know what template or file is being used when you click the "Attachments" link shown in this screenshot? The screenshot shows a post in my forum but when I click it I am taken to a page that isn't using my page template. Any ideas? Thanks! [attachment=2950,184]

_ck_ on "Avatar Upload seems to be broken"

_ck_ — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:25:05 +0000

I'd recommend just using gravatars - this is not my plugin and I'm not supporting it.

mccawphoto — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:20:54 +0000

May I ask how you set it up on this forum to allow members to upload their own avatar? I tried Upload Avatar but it doesn't seem to work. It is doing exactly what the poster above referred to. I appreciate any help you may be of. Thanks!

This plugin perfect for what I need. I created buttons for these. I you are interested in using them I will send you the image and css. Here is a screenshot of them. Thanks for your help! [attachment=2947,183]

That's the "bbcode buttons" plugin.

Thanks! May I ask how you got the simple buttons (B,I,U,etc.) in your post reply form?

_ck_ on "WYSIWYG Editor for posts"

_ck_ — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:57:36 +0000

Sorry I don't have any experience with those kinds of editors, they are far more trouble than they are worth.

mccawphoto — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:48:41 +0000

I have tried the bb-wysiwyg-editor plugin and it works great except for in Chrome. For some reason if I try to use "indent" for example it will wrap the text that I type in the actual code. So let's say I type something like "Hello this is a test of the indent button" then I select the text and click "indent". In Chrome when I test this the following is in my post: <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">Hello this is a test of the indent button" then I select the text and click "indent".<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"> Any idea why this is happening? Have you seen this happen before? Is there a better way to add a wysiwyg editor to the posts/reply form in bbpress? Thanks for your help!

Perfect! Thanks! You're plugin is great!

_ck_ on "new bbPress plugin: bbPress Attachments"

_ck_ — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:08:49 +0000

you can change <code>$bb_attachments['inline']['width']=590;</code> to whatever max width you want and it will resize it (note it will not change existing images - you can use overflow:hidden on your post content wrapper to hide overly large existing images if necessary)

Is there a way to limit the actual dimensions of an uploaded image with this plugin? The plugin works great the only problem I am running into is that some images being uploaded are wider than the width of the post area. Thanks!

_ck_ on "Create a topics list"

_ck_ — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:49:55 +0000

They never wrote documentation because they kept changing the program every year or so. Take a look inside the code in the bbpress root as well as the templates to get an idea of how it works. get_topic is for the topic page, for a single topic to get a group of topics you have to use a query Take a look at my "My Views" plugin to get an idea how to do the query and show the results. It can be done just like how WordPress works. I wrote a little about custom queries here: <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration</a> Just change <code>$bbdb</code> for <code>$wpdb</code> (see my-views for real demonstrations) And these might help you down the road: <a href="http://google.com/search?q=site%3Abbpress.org+inurl%3Aheres-how" rel="nofollow">http://google.com/search?q=site%3Abbpress.org+inurl%3Aheres-how</a>

mccawphoto on "Create a topics list"

mccawphoto — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:44:38 +0000

Can anyone shed some light on how to create a list of topics? Also is there a way to limit how many topics show up in the list and also order them by date and the most recent? I was able to create a list of forums using this code: <code> <ul> <?php $forums = get_forums(); ?> <?php foreach ( $forums as $forum ) : ?> <li> <a>forum_id ); ?>"><?php forum_name( $forum->forum_id ); ?></a> (<?php forum_posts( $forum->forum_id ); ?> posts) </li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> </code> I have tried the code below but it isn't working. There is so little documentation on bbpress that I am having trouble figuring out what to set $topics equal to. Any help is appreciated. <code> <ul> <?php $topics = get_topic(); ?> <?php foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?> <li> <a>topic_id ); ?>"><?php topic_title( $topic->topic_id ); ?></a> (<?php topic_posts( $topic->topic_id ); ?> posts) </li> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul> </code> Also, any suggestions on where to find more documentation? Thanks!

mccawphoto on "Change default avatar in bbpress 1.1"

mccawphoto — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:59:44 +0000

That worked perfectly! Thanks for your help!

_ck_ on "Change default avatar in bbpress 1.1"

_ck_ — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:00:44 +0000

It looks like in 1.1 they broke the avatar default just like it used to be broken in wordpress. First they get the default <code>if ( empty($default) ) $default = bb_get_option('avatars_default');</code> but then they override it with their own <code>$default = $host . '/avatar/ad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536?s=' . $size;</code> This means your only option is to filter it afterwards. Try making a mini-plugin with this code instead (or add it to your template header.php) <pre><code>add_filter( 'bb_get_avatar', 'custom_default_avatar'); function custom_default_avatar($data) {return preg_replace('@(\&amp\;d\=).+?(\'|"|\&amp\;)@sm','$1http://www.example.com/defaultavatar.png$2',$data);}</code></pre> and change the example part to the url to your default avatar

Does anyone know how to change the default avatar in bbpress 1.1 to a custom avatar that you have created? Thanks for any help!

It's part of the old cookies and does not matter. Please keep in mind I will not be able to answer questions for you non-stop, in fact I have to leave now so you'll be on your own.

mccawphoto — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:29:08 +0000

Ok, I will do that what about the next question in the installer? Wordpress database Secret. It says "This must match the value of the WordPress setting named "secret" in your WordPress installation. Look for the option labeled "secret" in this WordPress admin page. If you leave this blank the installer will try to fetch the value based on your WordPress database integration settings." I looked and didn't see any thing labeled "secret". Is this something I ignore as well? Thanks!

_ck_ — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:24:46 +0000

For the cookies on 0.9 you will need to install my "freshly baked cookies" plugin and edit the settings there. The cookie settings in 0.9 do not matter because they are outdated. Just copy those 8 lines from wp-config to the cookies plugin instead.

mccawphoto on "Topic Reply Form on separate page"

mccawphoto — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:22:28 +0000

Great! I am installing the final 0.9 branch. I manually edited the bb-config file and am working my way through the installation. I am at the field for "Wordpress cookie secret key" Below the field it says, "This value must match the value of the constant named "SECRET_KEY" in your WordPress wp-config.php file. This will replace the bbPress cookie secret key set in the first step." There is no constant named "SECRET_KEY" in the wp-config file. I have the following: define('AUTH_KEY', define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', define('NONCE_KEY', define('AUTH_SALT', define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', define('NONCE_SALT' Is it one of these? Thanks!

Just manually edit and copy the settings as requires from wp-config to the bb-config During install it should ask you if you are integrating. There is also a page in the admin area for integration.

I was able to convince my client that it is okay to have the reply form on the same page as the topic. How do you manually configure the install? I manually configure my wordpress installs all the time. Thanks!

_ck_ on "Topic Reply Form on separate page"

_ck_ — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:31:52 +0000

The integration should be pretty straightforward, I cannot remember because I always manually configure my installs. If you want to use most of my plugin you should install the final 0.9 branch <a href="http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3687/branches/0.9?old_path=%2F&format=zip" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3687/branches/0.9?old_path=%2F&format=zip</a> Then install my freshly baked cookies plugin and it can use WP cookies. Note that your desire to have replies on another page is going to cause you all kinds of headaches and break several plugins. If you do not know how to code I would recommend you not continue.
