I'm trying to hook into the akismet page, but will settle for adding to the options-general.php page if it is at all possible.

So far i can't see a way, but may be missing something.

1 - Find topic-tags.php file, in your template folder.

2 - In topic-tags.php file, find this line:

<?php tag_form(); ?>

3 - Above this line, add the following code:

<?php if ( !bb_current_user_can( 'manage_tags' ) ) {return false;} ?>

I hope it is not wrong, I made this change for me and now works ...

[EDIT by chrishajer - there is no bbcode here]

I was hoping someone could do it for me.

Well there's your problem right there :)

Making a theme is easy AND it won't break the source code or become beyond repair. A theme is all HTML and CSS, with a little PHP tossed in, and not the coding kind of PHP where you have to make SQL calls. Unless you want to, of course.

Go to http://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/ for the basics. You'll need this under your belt if you ever hope to maintain a forum without going nuts.

It's the bb_create_nonce();

It's like an MD5 hash, formed by "create-post_" + "topic_id"

for example:

<input type="hidden" name="_wpnonce" value="<?=bb_create_nonce('create-post_3');?>"

With this, you can create replies (posts) within the topic with id 3.

Best regards.

Looks like the nonce field is very important to prevent spam posting.

Form submitting doens't work if you specify a wrong nonce. Take a look at my searchings:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/post_forms-_wponce-what-is-it

http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/bbPress/_bb-includes---functions.bb-pluggable.php.html

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php

You can create a nonce key with this funcion:

bb_create_nonce();

I will continue with the searching and testings.

Don't worry about the nonce field, it's just for WP side and doesn't translate, as of yet, to BB.

3. I think it's just the internal http referrer, but I could be wrong.

This can't be very hard. I just can't find what I'm missing.

I'm making an external post form and I'm sending POST information to the bb-post.php

There's to main fields:

• Textarea name="post_content"
• Hidden input name="topic_id"

I can easily get those values, but this isn't enought for a posting to work.

There's a strage field named name="_wpnonce" value="4ecbe24030" and another named name="_wp_http_referer" value="/forum/topic/post-slug" that I tought it was for the final redirect, it isn't.

So I'm having here some basic doubts:

1. Besides "post_content" and "post_id", what other parameter is necessary for a sucessfull post with bb-post.php?
2. What's "_wpnonce"
3. What's "_wp_http_referer"

Best regards.

Also, instead of modifying a core file like that, you could probably use a plugin to remove that capability from the member role. Or you could create a whole new role that does not have that capability. I think there was a plugin related to custom roles:

@ All - Merry Christmas!!!

@wiseacre If you really want to remove the ability of non-mods to add tags, just edit topic-tags.php in your template.

Wrap <?php tag_form(); ?> with an 'if mod' sort of deal. Call it a day.

ID's are set in every single tag. <li id="tag-85_71562">tags</li>

Go to http://bbpress.org/forums/profile/71562 and you'll see that I added a tag :) Easy as pie to see I'm a spammer ;)

chrishajer, I will explain with your own words "The member id is recorded in the database when the tag is added, so if it's a member doing inappropriate tagging, you can deal with them individually."

But in other point of view bbpress admin/key master MUST know PHP & SQL because of undeleteing "deleted" topics and posts. ;)

Members can add tags.

Moderators (and Admin and Key Master) can remove them.

Where did this come into PHP & SQL?

Also, I think it's been like this for a while with tags, going back to the 0.73 release I think.
