Since bbPress is beta software and has undergone lots of changes in the past year, a lot of the early plugins don't work without modification.</p> <p>There was a reply recently by sambauers about subscribing yourself to the new posts feed and front page feed (I think) via an RSS to email service like Feedblitz. Then you could get notification in your email rather than RSS.</p> <p>I think the creators of bbPress have gone down the path of RSS rather than email, for notifications. Adding back in the functionality for delivery via email is most likely going to always be via a plugin. Just my opinion. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-post-notification/page/2#post-19992 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:18:27 +0000 chrishajer 19992@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I don't want those things in the bbPress core - I would never use them. That said, normally things like this can be added via plugins, which are optional and I wouldn't have to install them. Best of both worlds.</p> <p>I am curious why you selected bbPress over phpBB if these core features are already present in phpBB but not in bbPress? Not a flame, an honest question. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/email-notification-of-thread-reply#post-19991 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:14:02 +0000 eclipsenow 19991@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>OK, I'll let my friend who does the installs know.

A topic created by a member does not automatically subscribe them to it as a favorite (I think in some versions of phpBB that's how it works.)</p> <p>For buttons, you probably want one of these two plugins:<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons/</a><br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/quicktags-4-bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/quicktags-4-bbpress/</a></p> <p>You'll find with bbPress that most of the things you want to do can be accomplished with plugins. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-notification-1#post-19987 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 11:29:26 +0000 eclipsenow 19987@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Does this plug in work now? Can it be designed so that a user can select to "watch" one particular forum and any new post to that forum only generates one email? (But of course, not an email for ALL the following posts. It would revert back to normal REPLY notification only).</p> <p>I really don't know why this stuff is not standard. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-post-notification/page/2#post-19986 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 10:59:47 +0000 eclipsenow 19986@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Personally, what I want from an email notification service is:-</p> <p>1. To notify me of when someone replies, but not EVERYONE that replies.<br /> I love the fact that in phpbb.com the email notifies you, you click on the url and go to the next reply to your last post, and then you note that there are 20 other replies that you can read through neatly on the BB, but NOT 20 other emails to delete! The whole point of BB's is that they save email stress. I'd hate to lose this function just because we decided to go with bbpress not phpbb.</p> <p>2. Being able to subscribe to not just threads, but FORUMS is also important for some users. In some large forums, some specialists need to know everything going on in that forum and might be so busy that they'd appreciate an email every time someone started a thread.</p> <p>This sort of functionality should be standard in bbpress. I'm an activist spread very thinly over the internet, and RSS just doesn't cut it. I might see a thread, register, comment, and then forget about that whole forum until someone eventually replies. The email keeps me going back. With so many bulletin boards and forums to reply to and keep track of — that ALL pretty much notify of reply by email — why would I bother messing around with RSS as well? My email box is king, only it grabs my attention. This function should not be a plugin.</p> <p>3. There should be a function in my profile where I can just click an automatic email generator, so that ANY time I reply in ANY thread, I am automatically emailed if someone replies. </p> <p>This is standard, basic bulletin board protocol and absolutely has to be in the standard installation. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/email-notification-of-thread-reply#post-19983 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 00:17:26 +0000 eclipsenow 19983@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi all,<br /> I'm used to phpbb.com software. Does BBpress have an email notification function that lets members know of replies to threads (instead of RSS)? I'm introducing a bunch of email list users to Bulletin Boards for the first time, and am really hoping this software works well.</p> <p>Also, they are not very technical. Does BBpress have easy to use buttons for customising posts? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/variables-available-for-bb_new_topic#post-19952 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:44:40 +0000 jennygold 19952@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks. I looked up that function and see that the topic id gets returned, but it's still not working. Maybe I'm not understanding what to do. I'm now trying to use: </p> <p>add_action('bb_insert_topic', 'notification_new_topic');</p> <p>The idea is that when a new topic is inserted, my function 'notification_new_topic' gets executed where I need access to the topic id, but it's not getting returned with get_topic($topic_id); </p> <p>Am I doing this correctly? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/variables-available-for-bb_new_topic#post-19808 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 23:01:37 +0000 sambauers 19808@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>bb_new_topic() just calls bb_insert_topic(), at the end of bb_insert_topic() is a do_action() call called 'bb_insert_topic' which has available to it all the information you need. The only thing you need to remember to do is differentiate between new and edited topics as both are handled by that function. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/variables-available-for-bb_new_topic#post-19792 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:54:01 +0000 jennygold 19792@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I'm trying to use the function bb_new_topic with the Post Notification plugin to send out an email when a new topic has been posted. The plugin as written by the author uses bb_new_post to notify of new posts, which has access to the topic ID via get_topic($topic_id) to pass in the title, author, and link of the post to the email. This variable doesn't seem to be available with bb_new_topic. How can I get the title, link, and author to be passed into the email? I'm not sure what variables are available.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request#post-18960 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:54:09 +0000 cartmanffc 18960@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>this should be default option of bbPress </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/private-message-popup#post-18686 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:23:36 +0000 chrishajer 18686@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You don't need to use a function: you could add the functionality you want just by hacking the plugin. You can always refactor later to move some things into functions.</p> <p>Start simple. Find the place where the message is displayed to the user. Then, add some html there to display an image. Make sure you upload the image, then make sure you get the path to the image correct. I think that would be pretty simple.</p> <p>I thought there was a "newmail.png" already included though? I don't use the PM plugin, but if that icon is present, where is it displayed? If it's not on the page you want, I would use the same method they use to display it, just on a different page.</p> <p>Although the title of this topic is "Private Messaging Popup" you're not looking to create a javascript popup when the user logs in that they have a PM, are you?</p> <p>You could also contact the plugin author:<br /> <a href="http://faq.rayd.org/bbpress_private_message/" rel="nofollow">http://faq.rayd.org/bbpress_private_message/</a></p> <p>From that page:<br /> <code>Visible representation of when a message hasn't been seen (in your inbox and sent box)</code> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/private-message-popup#post-18683 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:53:09 +0000 brad_langdon 18683@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Does anyone know how to modify the code of the private messages plugin so that an image is inserted when a message is received.</p> <p>I was thinking of an image popping up next to the text where it says you have a new message like an envelope icon or something.</p> <p>I am guessing you would add some kind of function but I don't quite know how. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-post-notification/page/2#post-15737 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 07:04:42 +0000 _ck_ 15737@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Anything that used <code>admin_email</code> with bbPress 0.8.x has to be changed to <code>from_email</code> under 0.9 (I am not sure why it was necessary to break all the plugins like that but what is done is done).</p> <p>It should take a simple edit.
