I guess I could fetch the proper table prefix and make it work for anyone. Just shared it in the hope someone more skilled would make a more professional function. Without much more work, it could be made to rebuild the entire topics table from scratch using all the posts table data (well except for the topic title which apparently is not stored anywhere else? Would it have been too much to have varchar post_title in there for eventual ability to allow post replies to change the title without a plugin/extra table?) It also would allow the "real delete" ability several people have been asking for. fel64 on "rebuilding topics DB" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rebuilding-topics-db#post-8829 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 04:48:31 +0000 fel64 8829@http://bbpress.org/forums/ If you use <code>$bbdb->users</code> you should get the appropriate table name instead. _ck_ on "rebuilding topics DB" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rebuilding-topics-db#post-8822 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 03:55:50 +0000 _ck_ 8822@http://bbpress.org/forums/ tested working - at least for my setup: <pre><code>function rebuild_topics() { global $bbdb; // currently only rebuilds last post pointers, last poster name, last poster id, last topic post date // todo: rebuild entire topics table // warnings: hard coded for WP user table - backup your DB before using // run the built-in post/topic recount first echo "\t \n"; if ( $topics = (array) $bbdb->get_results("SELECT topic_id,post_id,poster_id,post_time FROM <code>bb_posts</code> a WHERE post_position=(SELECT MAX(post_position) FROM <code>bb_posts</code> WHERE topic_id=a.topic_id) AND post_status = '0' GROUP BY topic_id ") ) : echo "\t\t" . __('Calculating last posters for each topic...') .

Even the upcoming search feature that was posting on the blog doesn't seem to have an "action" ability, just search, which doesn't make sense, so maybe there will be more to it. Trying searching and deleting 50+ posts by hand, not worth it. Recount will only update counts, not pointers. I am just about finished with a new function to do this however. Right now it only updates the last poster id and name, the trickiest part was figuring out the proper mysql expression to grab the last item while grouping by topic_id. Took an hour of research. But in fact my routine could be extended further to rebuild the entire topics database from scratch if need be since all the data is in the posts and it's just kept in the topics table for speed. I just find it surprising there isn't such a routine already and I am hoping I am not duplicating efforts already done. fel64 on "rebuilding topics DB" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rebuilding-topics-db#post-8810 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 01:12:01 +0000 fel64 8810@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Why did you have to use phpMyAdmin to delete posts? That makes no sense. Are you unable to log in? Have you tried the 'Recount' feature? bb-Admin > Site Management > Recount, that is, if you can log in, but I should think you can since that would be the more serious problem but I haven't seen you post about it. I suggest that you mark spam posts as spam in future. At least in Kakumei there should be a link to do so at the bottom of the post, by the post age, if the user is logged in and of high enough authority. _ck_ on "rebuilding topics DB" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rebuilding-topics-db#post-8806 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 00:22:52 +0000 _ck_ 8806@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I had to use phpmyadmin to delete a few dozen posts by a spammer. How can I rebuild the topics DB so the front page (and sub-forums) are accurate? Or is the answer no such tool exists and I'll have to write one?

If it is too much for yourself, promote a user in your forum to be a moderator and help out (hense, I am a moderator here at bbPress.org). The plugins will allow you to control what can be said in your forum (mdawaffe even has a language filter plugin), but that is only half the matter. I don't believe any forum software will give you the 'fascist' tools to control exactly what people do and say, but there is a plugin here as well (can't remember the name) that can have you give 'warnings' to members that don't follow the rules before banning them. Take a look over in the 'extend' tab of this forum for the plugins that might help you with your controlling tasks, but try promoting a moderator as well. My 2 cents. Trent serimu on "how to manage a forum with bbpress" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-manage-a-forum-with-bbpress#post-8690 Wed, 04 Jul 2007 16:19:49 +0000 serimu 8690@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I have bbpress(0.8.2) integration with wordpress(2.2.1). I did not have any forum management before I add a forum to my previous wordpress website. Number of users are increasing daily. So as I did not have any experience with management of a forum, I have some problems. In the beginning I installed to standard version of bbpress. After one month of forum experience, I want to add moderation plugin. Because my users are not experienced forum users. I have a range from middle school students to company owners or retired workers. Some of the users sends strange messages, which I dont want to see on my forum. Some of them do not allow forum rules. And some of them dont know how to use a forum. Namely when they have a new question, they write "I know it is not related to the subject ...". I think what I need it to make the all messages for new users, moderated. Or all messages are moderated. I dont know why but the moderation plugin do not work with latest version of bbpress. So I have to uninstall the plugin and make messages un-moderated. I will also try "move it" plugin, for unrelated messages to subject of message. But what is the best management style for such a community. I think bbpress.org do not need moderation of messages, because at least its community know how to use a forum. Is it better, not to waste my time to manage the forum. Namely no moderation to messages or just live what ever people writes to the forum. As I said before this is my first forum, and I also dont want people to use msn-type language usage. Am I fascist :) ? patrace on "How to PERMANENTLY delete a post?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-permanently-delete-a-post#post-7655 Sat, 26 May 2007 05:19:43 +0000 patrace 7655@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I'd also like to see some perma-delete functionality.

Some sort of 'purge deletion cache' button (well, I guess it's like emptying the trash can) would be great.

I guess it is the 'gmail' approach of never really deleting anything. I believe someone put up a TRAC ticket on this issue for 1.0's release though.

Deleting a particular "deleted" post. (e.g. I certainly wouldn't want to see a post packed with profane wordings again. NOT EVEN in my admin panel.) 2. Automatic/Manual cleanup of "deleted" post (e.g. Removing all "deleted" posts that are older than 6 months / 1 year / 2 years....) 3. Automatic/Manual cleanup of all posts (e.g. Removing all topics that had no replies in the last 6 months / 1 year / 2 years....)

I would imagine that a plugin could be written to do this for you, but in terms of space, I don't think that a post takes up very much space in the database, but your point is taken with great attention! I would love a simple plugin to do this as well to clean up posts and topics and there are many great code writers that use this forum and I wouldn't be suprised if one comes up to do just this! Nice point!

Thanks for the great work. Just want to ask before deploying the code into a semi-production environment. It's great to hear that deleted posts can be undeleted. But, how am I going to clean up posts that I'm sure I no longer need anymore? I pay for web hosting and don't have a very large database. Thanks a lot.
