It's the same problem for me.

External links are broken. The href="externallink.com" disappear after using the code.

I am not a developer, just a blogger who is looking for solutions, but something seems strange to me In this line :

$text = preg_replace('|]+http\:\/\/))(?!([^>]+'.$domain.'))(.+)>|iU', '', $text);

It seems that all the content of ' a ' is replaced by ' a rel="nofollow" target="blank" '

So, the href="..." disappear

links in new windows an with nofollow
only own url links in same windows without nofollow.

The code is coming through differently in my email, so I posted a link to it making sure I have the syntax right: http://pastie.org/2362857

Internal links are still ok; external links look like this in Firebug:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Px6V4Z7PfKk6Gpv5x_Uh4Q?feat=directlink

It most probably should be.

So anywhere you do not see a slash in front, add one, ie.

\<

\>

actually to be more clear, try this

$text = preg_replace('|\<a (.*)rel=[\'"]nofollow[\'"]([^>]+)?\>|iU','<a >', $text);	// strip ALL nofollow
$text = preg_replace('|\<a (?=([^>]+http\:\/\/))(?!([^>]+'.$domain.'))([^>]+)\>|iU', '<a  rel="nofollow" target="_blank">', $text);

sorry, don't have time to debug it more, someone will have to throw it into a regex tester and check it against some same sample links

Thanks for the help. I tried what you posted, but it's still not working.

It fixed the broken URLs, but strips the target="_blank" and rel="nofollow" attributes. It looks like the second function (for external links) isn't firing off.

Will keep working on it and post an update if I figure it out.

I really appreciate your help!

with this

([^>]+)

which hopefully will stop it from going past the end of the anchor tag

However, I am having the same problem as @cwdnow. Internal links are working as expected: they open in same window with "nofollow" tag removed.

The code is broken when it deals with external links, though. It adds the attributes target="_blank" and rel="nofollow" but the URL is broken. I haven't dug too deep yet, but I think the reg ex is too broad (selecting too much).

Here is the code that I'm using:
http://pastie.org/2361825

Here is what it is outputting:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Px6V4Z7PfKk6Gpv5x_Uh4Q?feat=directlink

I will post an update if I figure out what it is. In the meantime, do you happen to know what is causing this?

My site also has sub-domains, so I wanted to add a case for that. My reg ex skills are not that great. Do you know how I could do that?

Thanks for your help!!

But I sat down and wrote it just for you now :-)

http://bbshowcase.org/plugins/fast-recount.zip

Basically the old 0.9 bbPress api loops through each and every user and does a few queries for each one, completely overloading any server and timing out and never finishing.

ie. 6 queries per user x 1000 users = 6000 queries !!!!

My version accomplishes the exact same results with only a handful of queries right inside the mysql engine regardless of how many users, so it should always finish in under 30 seconds (unless perhaps it's millions of users)

Once you install and activate, under your recount menu you will see (among others)

FAST RECOUNT topics to which each user has replied

So check that box and leave the old one unchecked.

Until I have some time to fix the order in which the boxes appear, you should probably do the fast recount AFTER the other regular counts are done.

Oh and last but certainly not least, I highly recommend backing up your mysql database for wordpress/bbpress before using this plugin, because it's experimental and does actually delete old data before creating the new data. Something could go wrong (in theory you could run it a second time to fix the problem but always best to be safe).

ps. make sure you update bbpress to 0.9.0.6 too

The functions in bbPress 0.9 are very inefficient and use a horrifying number of queries that will get blocked by many servers or timeout after 30 seconds.

I wrote some experimental fast replacement routines, let me see if I can find them.

Sorry, I simply do not have the time.

Restore backups from before upgrading 0.9 to 1.x

I hope you can help.

I am trying to do a recount (BBPress 0.9.0.4).

What happens is that the first few items in the Recount list get done. Then the system goes to

"Counting topics to which each user has replied..."

And gets stuck there.

I tried not checking the box for "Count topics to which each user has replied", and when I do this, the Recount function goes through every item in the list and satisfactorily completes it. But if I check this one single box (or all of them), it always gets stuck on this step.

I have tried deactivating all plugins and the problem persists.

Discuss and Discover Antique Prints

i've used a custom skin, very much based on the default kakumei style.

I've loved working with this software.

I have to say, I'm sceptical about your conclusions. If "opening external links in the same windows [sic] is extremely foolish" for "someone trying to make money with their site", isn't it foolish to have those external links in the first place?

bbPress Version Popularity

1.1 : 1%
1.0 : 48%
0.9 : 36%
0.8 : 15%   (includes sites below 1.x that hide their version
as 0.8 has no consistent way to be detected)

PHP Popularity

5.3 : 4%
5.2 : 70%
5.1 : 4%
5.0 : 1%
4.4 : 6%
4.3 : 1%
?? : 15% (unknown)

So PHP version 5 adoption has finally taken off in late 2010.

Server Popularity

Apache 	 	: 40%  	  (specific version unknown)
Apache/2.2 	: 35%
Apache/2 	: 10%	  (sub-version unknown)

Nginx 		: 5%
Microsoft-IIS	: 3%
Litespeed 	: 2%

(and quite a few others/variations but below a single percent each)

Note that the targeted audience as indicated by the flags on the right of the list is more of an art than a science, so please do not be insulted if my algorithm got it wrong. It's a combination of looking at the TLD and the declared language type being used on the page.

For example a site may have a flag for Spain if Spanish is used but no other specific variation or TLD is used, etc.

The most popular TLDs for bbPress forums are:

.com (by 50% !)
.org
.net
.ru
.uk
.de
.it
.info
.ca   (honourable mention as .ca has 50% less than .info
however pl, fr, nl, se and au all have over 100 sites)

We have a new leader Singletrack Mountain Bike Magazine
beating out the old champion Simon & Schuster (international book publisher).
with nearly 1.8 MILLION posts. Absolutely incredible growth!

There are five bbPress powered forums with over a million posts now!

Nearly 300 more have over ten thousand posts,
and nearly 1,000 have over one thousand posts.

Over four dozen new bbPress powered forums are put online every week on average!

This will be the last look* at the incredible growth and diversity of
bbPress adoption around the world over the past several years.
You can see the previous summaries here via the Top100 tag.

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100

The list is based on post count which implies highest activity.
Sites that appear to fake the numbers or have dubious content
have been moved to the bottom of the Top 10,000

To see the complete Top 10,000 requires free registration/login:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top10000

Logged in users can also search the list and view the experimental
Tag Cloud http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top10000?cloud
and vote on sites that may have superior design even if they didn't
make the Top 100 regardless of their volume of activity.

This list does not include most of the 1000+ or so BuddyPress installations
that use bbPress to power sub-forums for their groups. This is for technical
reasons, not political - it's virtually impossible to analyze bbPress under
BuddyPress because of how it's filtered and blocked. If you have a large
bbPress installation under BuddyPress and you are not in the current list,
contact me for a way to be included if your site would fall in the top 1,000.

*The upcoming rewrite of bbPress will make this kind of third-party analysis
extremely difficult but also unneccesary since it will start to "phone home"
as part of WordPress to Automattic on a daily basis from your server
with all your details, configuration and install information anyway.

So on that note, let's take a look at the results from the final list!

Looking for feedback from those running a realworld, robust 1.x setup as I only have a test install.

Personally I also think it looks better in 0.9 but that's just me.

It cannot damage anything during testing as it's a read-only kind of plugin (for now).

So now this plugin will help admin explore how those tags got there or if spammers have snuck in any stray tags.

Install, activate and look under the Manage menu.

Click on the numbers next to the items to "drill down" on those tags.

Let me know if you have feature ideas or find bugs.

okay it's on the SVN now with a couple of tweaks/fixes
