The problem is, bbpress.org is using version 1.1 and the 2.1 don't come with a tag-add.php. However I do find it in the buddypress bp-forums folder (which is a group forum and do different thing)

The value="41539", value="52b8e94f11", and value="/forums/topic/tags-widget-function-for-bbpress-20" seems to vary between post. But until now I still working on the actual value.

Here in bbPress.org I can (as logged in) tag topics I have not participated in. In this way I can make the forum even more cross-indexed etc.

See the "tags" module to the left here :-)

Can you do that in your bbPress 2.1 ?

Can I some how add this to the forum topic's thread to add tags as I can do here at bbPress.org?

This is the code there:

I think this is the form start:
<form name="post" action="post.php" method="post" id="post">

Then comes this:

<div class="tagsdiv" id="topic-tag">
	<div class="jaxtag">
	<div class="nojs-tags hide-if-js">
	<p>Add or remove tags</p>
	<textarea name="tax_input[topic-tag]" rows="3" cols="20" class="the-tags" id="tax-input-topic-tag" >my tag 1,my tag 2</textarea></div>
 		<div class="ajaxtag hide-if-no-js">
		<label class="screen-reader-text" for="new-tag-topic-tag">Topic Tags</label>
		<div class="taghint">Add New Tag</div>
		<p><input type="text" id="new-tag-topic-tag" name="newtag[topic-tag]" class="newtag form-input-tip" size="16" autocomplete="off" value="" />
		<input type="button" class="button tagadd" value="Add tag" tabindex="3" /></p>
	</div>
		</div>
	<div class="tagchecklist"></div>
</div>

A hidde field that probably is important:

<input type='hidden' id='post_ID' name='post_ID' value='44' />

Then the main post button:

<div id="publishing-action">
<img src="http://domain.com/wp-admin/images/wpspin_light.gif" class="ajax-loading" id="ajax-loading" alt="" />
		<input name="original_publish" type="hidden" id="original_publish" value="Update" />
		<input name="save" type="submit" class="button-primary" id="publish" tabindex="5" accesskey="p" value="Update" />
</div>

Can I use this for anything?

But in the bbPress 2.1 install I have I can not see that function.

Is there a way I can call that function in the template, or a widget I can add to WP?

thank you very much

You'll need to do some digging around in the bbPress theme and remove the tag functions. Another alternative would be to hide them with CSS but that is not ideal at all.

sorry my english is not very good;-)

where can I find the code (I think he is in the themes folder) to delete the tags?
thank you very much!

It's still a Taglogic issue, as far as I see.

Anyways, looks like it is unlikely to get fixed in core.

I *think* 2.1 is supposed to be a bit better with catching the spam.

Your main problem, like you said, is allowing guest posts.

Do you have akismet enabled?

Also I would use something like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/

For my Relationships Forum, obviously people are more inclined to seek help when they're not obliged to leave their public identities.

So this plugin leaves all Topics and Replies in a Pending and unpublished state.

The issue with Spam posts are these Spammers are also pumping the Tag with URLs or other rubbish.

From a logic point of view, Pending and/or Unpublished Topics/Replies shouldn't affect anything for a Published Topic.

But they are. I'm seeing Published Topics losing already established Tags from unPublished and Awaiting Moderation Repies which, in my opinion, is a bbPress bug and certainly not a logical workflow.

What are the issues you are having. People deleting/removing tags from threads?

Self policing is an open invitation to abuse the tagging system which is happening to me, at least.

I believe you will need to edit your theme to remove where the tags are being called.

Is there any plan to integrate these someday?

I guess my question is: how do you have them behave like the do here?

Where any tags entered into the tags field are simply appended to a topic, and previous ones remain untouched?

My assumption is that I'm doing something wrong, but it appears to happen on a fresh install with the default template.

But it isn't happening here! I can add tags and the previous ones remain, so maybe there's a but in the default template, but not in the core?

The next poster's message (regardless of user role) overwrites my tags or erases them all together.

In fact, every post overwrites the previous tags.

Que? Have I setup something wrong? This happened in a fresh install with the default template too.

When someone simply wants to return data, (a list of tags or the subscribe link) it would be nice to have the bare minimum returned (text with at most, an <a> tag). Minimal markup will just make for cleaner, easier to assemble themes.

That did the trick!

I didn't need to add the function in my case, the shortcode worked using a php widget plugin.
