I hope you may also include Swift Mailer. I can not put my bbpress on due to this problem. I'm just using a free hosting.

(i.e., the timestamp was now in the future.</p> <p>Setting my time offset in General Settings to zero results in the correct time (GMT+1) being shown (server is on UTC btw), but the freshness is still -1 year lol. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/gmt-offset#post-15926 Fri, 02 May 2008 11:13:52 +0000 dangrey 15926@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>"bb_current_time is in the functions file inside bb-includes directory.

But you probably should touch that otherwise when you update bbpress, it will break again. :)</p> <p>The SQL I used was just an interval clause...i.e. if I was going to import my current forums I would use something like:</p> <p>SELECT ID, Body, DateCreated - interval '9 30' hour_minute FROM current_forum_whatever</p> <p>This takes the date field and drops 9.5 hours off, coincidentally, my time zone.</p> <p>You could probably adapt this to an 'update' statement to change what's already in your database, eg:</p> <p>UPDATE bb_topics SET DateCreated=(SELECT DateCreated - interval '9 30' hour_minute);</p> <p>I haven't tested it but it probably wouldn't be too far wrong. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/gmt-offset#post-15906 Thu, 01 May 2008 10:28:24 +0000 dangrey 15906@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Where can I find the bb_current_time function?</p> <p>Also could you post the SQL statement you used to fix existing date fields in the db?

I'd like to be able to change it back and do it the proper way if possible. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-can-i-find-text-new-topic-in-this-forum#post-15794 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 18:46:44 +0000 dangrey 15794@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Any chance this text could be made part of the theme?

So they blindly insert the blank address into emails which causes the emailer to either fail or bounce the message. </p> <p>A few of my plugins were affected, I just found another tonight, and there are several third-party ones still unpatched.</p> <p>You can work around this problem by putting this into your <code>bb-config.php</code> (anywhere on a new line)</p> <p><code>$bb-&gt;admin_email = &#39;email@your-forum.com&#39;;</code></p> <p>where <code><a href="mailto:email@your-forum.com">email@your-forum.com</a></code> is the same email address you use inside bbPress on <code>bb-admin/options-general.php</code></p> <p>This won't hurt anything, causes no extra load of any kind and simply allows older plugins to work without additional edits until the authors get a chance to upgrade them. </p> <p>(Just remember you "hard coded" this address if you ever change the main one for any reason. You can delete it after 1.0 is out and all plugins have upgraded. In fact the old email address will become unused after all the plugin upgrade anyway so this can't hurt anything in practice.) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-can-i-find-text-new-topic-in-this-forum#post-15721 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:35:47 +0000 dangrey 15721@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thank you! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-can-i-find-text-new-topic-in-this-forum#post-15720 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:27:10 +0000 chrishajer 15720@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Line 137 of /bb-includes/template-functions.php is where that's defined.
