"Creating a Link to Hot Tags in BBPress"

virtual — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 21:53:26 +0000

In some cases, you will need to do more than just create a simply .htaccess file, and may need to navigate to /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php and copy the output to an .htaccess file.

For me, the output looked like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([0-9]+)$ /topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/?$ /tags.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)$ /view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/$ /rss.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([a-z]+)$ /rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Hope that helps!

Alright it's been a month, but I have to apologize as I have yet to finish.
I was using RSS2HTML in the theme, but two things have changed in the latest version of bbPress:
1) The RSS feed encoding has changed slightly
2) The way themes are accessed has changed

I'm currently live-debugging (stupid I know...), but you should see some results shortly.

Keep me posted eh?

If you need anyone to test it, just give me a yell.

It's actually very easy, and has even been covered by a whole script! Whee!
However, it has not been updated. Whoo.
Give good ole BN a month max to have this fixed up right as always.

Hi,

Can you talk me through how to make the first latest post 'open?' like you have it?

Is it possible to have it show the post count as well?

What about calling it from a specific forum?

I am trying to get the smf/vbulletin effect of having a news article front page linked to the forums.

"Automattic's bbPress is the Next Religion"

virtual — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 06:28:30 +0000

I laughed too!
But bbPress sincerely does look promising.
I've been tweaking a test site quite a bit and will send the changes upstream as soon as I'm sure it's stable (it's playing peak-a-boo with some of the functions right now).
Also: the mint stats code appears to have stopped working, though the Google Analytics portion has held strong which is good enough for now.
At some point I'll incorporate an admin module into the backend for Google Adsense affiliate number changing so it needn't be hand done.
But I get ahead of myself - if you have changes you've made and liked let us know! (or use the mailing list)

"Howto: Get Better Adsense Revenues from bbPress"

virtual — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 08:16:54 +0000

I have been experimenting in bbPress, trying to figure out a good way to get targeted adverts to appear alongside content, as hosting this does in fact cost a bit of money.
It seems that there is a bit of a problem in bbPress at the moment, and it involves the words "tags", which pops up everywhere, since that is what bbPress chooses to call its meta tags, or categories.
Because of this, if you simply include your adsense code in the header you will have a bit of a problem because you will get many advertisements focused on things that revolve around what bbPress publishes as meta data, and the actual content of the page you have published.
In order to alleviate this issue and get some proper search engine optimization going, I would recommend adding the Google Adsense code to the top of each of your my-templates PHP files, taking care to ad the code in after bbPress calls its header.php file.
This will allow you to market the pages in a much better fashion - search engine marketing made easy!

"Add Reflections to bbPress Images"

virtual — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 10:47:34 +0000

Using http://cow.neondragon.net/stuff/reflection/ I was able to add reflection to the blandname bbPress theme.
Here's how it works:
You'll need two files to make this happen.

the famed prototype.js - http://prototype.conio.net/dist/prototype-1.4.0.js
reflection.js - http://cow.neondragon.net/stuff/reflection/reflection.zip

Put both files in either /my-templates or /bb-templates, CHMOD them to 755, and edit your header.php file accordingly.
In my case:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/my-templates/reflection.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/my-templates/prototype.js"></script>
Was added before the last div tag in the header.php file.
In order to make the reflection work, make sure to add class="reflect" to any img tags you wish to have reflecting and looking all mac daddy cool.
