Seems only spammers are responding ;)

Looks like this thread and plugin has been abandoned :(

I had high hopes for this plugin and forum but looks like I'll have to look elsewhere. I've wasted enough time and effort on this!

but 0.9.0.7 appears to simply be a copy of the final 0.9 branch

browse http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/0.9

zip http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3730/branches/0.9?old_path=%2F&format=zip

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/branches/0.9/

From what I can tell, JJJ just copied the branch over to make "0.9.0.7"

http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3517
http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3535
http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/log/tags/0.9.0.7/bb-includes?rev=3535

That's all he did, there were no other changes, improvements or fixes.

But there really are some fixes in the final 0.9 branch over 0.9.0.6

There were 12 files changed from 0.9.0.6 to 0.9.0.7 (aka 0.9 branch)

http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.6&old=2338+&new_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.7&new=3715

It's hard to be 100% positive but I am pretty sure they addressed the base64 decoding bug.

Those with 0.9.0.6 can replace just these files to upgrade to 0.9.0.7
http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?format=zip&new=3715&old=2338&new_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.7&old_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.6
(those running versions before 0.9.0.6 will need more files from a fuller upgrade, do not use just the above files as it will break your install)

Everyone should still use my mini-plugin to protect bbpress and wordpress for yet-unidentified security issues. It's better than nothing. You can even remove the header and just copy the one IF block to your bb-config.php and wp-config.php

If 256 characters turns out to be too short of a URL restriction, some may need to raise it as high as 1024, for example in WordPress where it stupidly uses GET now to mass delete posts, which was a dumbfounding move on their part.

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Block Long/Bad Queries (for bbPress and WordPress)
*/

if (strlen($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])>1024 ||
preg_match('@(eval|base64|unescape)[^a-zA-Z0-9]@si',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))
{
	header('HTTP/1.1 414 Request-URI Too Long');
	header('Status: 414 Request-URI Too Long');
	header('Connection: Close');
	exit;
}

Right now, I'm stuck in no-man's land and would love to get a resolution of sorts.

If there is no further support or development into this plugin, then please let us know so that users like me can look at other solutions for our forum boards.

I appreciate all the work that has gone into this, but as it is, its not complete and not usable to anyone.

If anyone has successfully converted their phpBB board to bbPress using this converter, I'd like to hear from them.

Thank you in advance for any replies and help!

I have 0.9.0.7 installed.

I just saw _ck_'s post here about a security patch plugin: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-103-released#post-84690

Ten months ago, _ck_ wrote,

"bbPress 0.9 users should install my unofficial "block-long-queries" mini-plugin to avoid the security bug that 1.0.3 fixes and similar unknown attacks in the future.
(it also works in 1.0 and WordPress)"

Since it seems like 0.9.0.7 came out five months later, I am wondering if this new release covers the patch or if it is still needed.

Note that I searched extensively for a post about the 0.9.0.7 release and the changes it represented, but I can't see anything like that.

Also, I can't ask in the original thread because it was closed.

Thanks!

Now only I (admin) can use it; but I want to allow any registered member to use it.

I have some css + js files to make the code written inside this specific tag display differently.

Hope you got it.

Please help..

Is there a plugin available for BBPress 2.x to enable rating for forum topics?
I was close when I found Rating-Widget (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rating-widget/) as the description said that it supported BP's BBPress. However, I was unable to figure out the way to turn it on for a BBPress forum.

Can you advise if you know any plugins that can rate forum topics on a BBPress 2.x platform?

This is important info and should really also be included in description
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/
where it still says "We are working on phpBB"

What does this in the description mean:
"This plugin runs in the background and converts passwords for your users when they log in, so the process is seamless even if your old forum uses different encryption methods."
Does this mean that I should not uninstall the plugin after the conversion is complete?

which is a like button for BuddyPress. But it doesn't let users like "posts" on the forums, only the "activity" of the user when they post...

I'm using buddypress and bbpress 2.0 and wondering if there is a way to get user stats on their profiles or at least have the users post count under their avatar?

Any help would be much appreciated!

No, topics are not deleted if no new replies. That would definitely require a custom plugin.
