hi Shawn
please rename plugin folder to "global-forum" and activate again.
We need bb_get_current_user() in case bp-forum is not active. The problem is if my files are loaded later, It will not cause any issue as I check for the existence of these functions. renaming to any thing which starts after b will make it work. I am going to update the install instruction in a second.
OK, really stupid question.
What is the url to the global forums?
I see the following code: define("GF_SLUG","siteforums");
however, when I go to mysitename.com/siteforums/ it simply returns me to the homepage. Just in case it matters, I am using my own custom bp theme, so I would have to add whatever the link is to my navigation anyhow.
also tried:
http://jerrygaffney.net/globalforum/ 404
btw
no rush, going to bed soon anyhow, just wanted to install and give you some info to help you troubleshoot issues.
hi Shawn
have you moved the "gf" directory to your custom theme.
default link will be
http://sitename.com/siteforums
If you change the slug, It will be
http://sitename.com/your_custom_slug
let me know if it works or not. I am confused now. Going to check the upload as I just exported from svn and uploaded(The local copy was working fine on my system).
As far as I see , It seems you have not moved the "gf" directory from the plugin to your active theme.
Thanks. :)
Glad to know it's working.
Few issues I've run into on my site.
1. White screened upon activation sitewide- Hit refresh and it activated just fine.
2. When I go to /admin, i get these errors in my php log.
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/wp-content/themes/theme/gf/admin/create-forum.php on line 1,
I just noticed that all of the php files like create-forum.php is a single line, althought it's really long. Is that correct or is that a bad checkout?
3. I changed the slug on my site and noticed that the code that you posted to change the slug is showing using ` and not ". Not sure if it's the site or what but I didn't catch that and so had to change that manually. The slug is correct now but I couldn't find where to change the name on the nav bar. Any thoughts?
Great job Brajesh. Maybe now I can actually use the forums.
You must log in to post.
