Now I have a separate instance running, but integrated with my WP installation.

I've tried completely removing by bbPress install and re-doing it, to no avail.

And I can't even find a file called "wp_usermeta" in my WordPress database.

Any suggestions?

thanks

Finished is not quite the word i'd use to describe it, but it works as intended.

I generally like to scope out all of the thing I want a plugin to do, and then I can add to it incrementally, which is why there are 4 functions with no code in them (but they're never called, it's more placeholders).

The code isn't released under a GPL yet, not that I'd try submitting them here anyway given past horrors with the system, but please feel free to use it on your forums Bob, and shout me if you've any issues.

Is this plugin (Kevin's) officially released?

Because the php file seems...unfinished.

Thank you.

Bob

To anyone else who is trying to edit the registration email, Note:

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN EDITING THE FOLLOWING FILE!

functions.bb-users.php

!!You are going to want to copy and paste all content in this file to notepad to assure that you have it incase something happens!!

Towards the bottom of the page you will see the new user email content. There you can add text to the email.

Thanks again _ck_

In 0.9 unfortunately you'd have to edit the end of registration-functions.php

My steps were....MKDIR>my-plugins/>new folder>custom-registraton-email.php>copy and paste the plugin you provided>activated>still getting the same registration default email.

Save it into a plugin (ie. custom-registraton-email.php) put it into your my-plugins/ directory and activate.

Really apprecaite the hints.
I'm definately not a PHP coder by trade, so these sorts of tips are invaluable.

Cheers,
Kev

All those variable names being tossed around as globals is somewhat dangerous - someone is going to accidentally "step" on one someday.

Instead how about an array or object instead?

ie.

$topic_add_quotes=blah;
$topic_add_sticky=blah;
$topic_add_sticky_label=blah;
etc.

and

global $topic_add_quotes;
global $topic_add_sticky;
global $topic_add_sticky_label;
etc.

instead becomes

$kjg_seo->topic_add_quotes=blah;
$kjg_seo->topic_add_sticky=blah;
$kjg_seo->topic_add_sticky_label=blah;
etc.

and then no matter how many items you just pass one pointer in your functions

global $kjg_seo;

The added benefit is you can later loop through all the elements if you make an admin menu.

Also, when switching based on page type, constantly calling all the different functions, ie is_forum, is_front, is_topic etc is "expensive" because of how bb_get_location works

Instead just $location=bb_get_location();
and then look at what it sends you in the string which is ultra fast for each of the comparisons.

http://www.kevinjohngallagher.com/downloads/bbpress/plugins/kevinjohngallagher_seo.zip

$message = apply_filters( 'bb_send_pass_message', $message, $user, $pass );

So yes, you can change it now without hacking the core.

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: New User Email Message
*/
add_filter('bb_send_pass_message','new_user_email_message',10,2);
function new_user_email_message($message,$user) {

$message.="\n You can also change your password at any time by editing your profile. \n";

return $message;
}
?>

_ck_ I updated my plugin 2 weeks ago.

I'll post it here in 20 when I'm home. I thought I'd put a download link on my website, but i must have bumped it with all the talking over the last week.

It could be done a little fancier via the filters on bb_title and bb_get_title ie. the page could be injected between the forum name and the topic name, but this will do for now.

Having a different title for each page makes life easier for humans, as well as not being bad for SEO.

In the strictest sense, Google (et al) state that every page should have it's own and unique title, and if relative should be linked with a canonical link.

(though, there is no doubt that they're clever enough to work it out).

It is an attempt to avoid duplicate content penalty?

Because Google already understands bbPress forum layout, they are very clever like that.

<title><?php bb_title() ?><?php if (bb_is_front()) { echo " - Your forum slogan";} ?><?php if ($page>1) { echo ' « Page '. $page; } ?></title>

Have a nice day and thanks to Zaerl to bb_is_front.

Example: Your topic title « Your forum name « Page 15

If you are in topic's page 15!

I'll post a link to the plugin when I'm finished.

I was in a hurry last night and went with an iFrame solution hosted inside the bbPress folder and placed it inside my wordpress theme, that worked pretty well. When I redesign the site I'll be sure to use this function, it looks awesome!

Another option will be to build a normal login form and make it to send data to the bbPress, search for it, there was a thread about it recently.

and if you just want to check if user is logged in, then WP has a function is_user_logged_in()
