I'm using private forums but it is lacking two things that would make it great and make bbPress more in line with other forums:</p> <p>1. allow viewing to be based on class, e.g. I have a admin section that I only want admins to even know exists, but I also have other forums that I do want people to see but not necessarily acces, which leads onto...</p> <p>2. allow the ability to reply to topics but not create new ones, e.g. you have fixed items (like, say a support forum) where people can post questions but not create new topics. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/private-forums-plugin#post-14746 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 19:36:36 +0000 affacat 14746@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>If you ever feel like upgrading this plug-in, here's a feature request:</p> <p>Make the specific forum private to certain user classes. </p> <p>I recently converted from SMF, where I had a number of 'secret' forums. These were were used for 'in-house' project discussions, not for your average user.

Some plugin that added a text input field to the posting form and used the topic meta table to store the option would be better. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-to-restrict-based-on-tags-eg-visible-only-if-tag-is-foruser_name#post-12020 Sat, 17 Nov 2007 01:59:36 +0000 fel64 12020@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>That's an intruiging concept, I like it. It's not an easy endeavour because you have to remove topics from the listings, counts and RSS (and not only stop users actually looking inside the topic). The Private Forums plugin has to do that too, so perhaps that's a good starting point. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-to-restrict-based-on-tags-eg-visible-only-if-tag-is-foruser_name#post-12019 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 23:12:13 +0000 mokshore 12019@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Please provide some clues (best existing plugin for starting point) to develop a plugin that will display posts/comments to users _only_ if<br /> 1) they created the topic or<br /> 2) a tag in the topic is for:user_name</p> <p>ps: of course, "for:" can be anything (using the same concept as in del.icio.us) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-private-messages/page/3#post-11185 Sat, 29 Sep 2007 20:37:17 +0000 intellivision 11185@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Note private messages are cut off at 2048 characters (1965 in practice, from my testing) because the db field is varchar(2048).</p> <p>That's not that much to wordy writers.</p> <p>I might try to change this to longtext.

This helps keep topics-per-page obeyed (ie. if you want 25 listed you'll still get 25 even if 10 have to be removed) and it also fixes a couple of areas that post-filtering doesn't work. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-private-forums-v40#post-9629 Tue, 31 Jul 2007 00:12:04 +0000 schmitt 9629@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Looks like you have added a function AND added filters to the private_forums_initialize_filters() function? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-private-forums-v40#post-9628 Tue, 31 Jul 2007 00:08:10 +0000 schmitt 9628@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I cannot find a function called private_forums_filter_private in v5.0 </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/usually-forums-would-have#post-9623 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 22:28:10 +0000 riddle 9623@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Just think, if Steve Jobs had had a different horticultural whim the day he named a certain product line, I could be typing this on a WineBook right now! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/usually-forums-would-have#post-9620 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 21:27:02 +0000 chrishajer 9620@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I think the real question here is "what the heck is a winesap"?</p> <p>:D </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/usually-forums-would-have#post-9600 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 16:32:54 +0000 riddle 9600@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I managed to hack the breadcrumbs code in Kakumei to properly show one level of subforums.

That's high on my wishlist.</p> <p>In other words, right now a subforum's breadcrumbs look like:</p> <blockquote><p>Food Forums - winesaps</p></blockquote> <p>When I wish they looked like:</p> <blockquote><p>Food Forums - fruit - apples - winesaps</p></blockquote> <p>I'm reluctant to use subforums at all if I can't give the user good feedback about where they are in the forum structure.</p> <p>So: does your breadcrumb code address this problem? And if so, is it coherent enough that I can glue it into place myself without being an expert about bbPress internals?
