As stated above, you'll have to patch a bunch of files following instructions given in this thread: <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-add-additional-tags-to-post?replies=13" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-add-additional-tags-to-post?replies=13</a> hempsworth on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-857 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:27:01 +0000 hempsworth 857@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ I think a really nice addition to this plugin would be to add a textfield to the profile page in bbPress which effectively has the same as the "Nickname" field from the usual WP profile page. This way, forum users never have to see the WP backend, and they will have the ability to change their forum nickname. How could this be achieved? I'd happily add this myself if I had the PHP know how :P citizenkeith on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-737 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 21:47:15 +0000 citizenkeith 737@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ I'm using this plugin with a fresh install of bbPress 8.3.1 and WordPress 2.3.2. Display names from WordPress are not showing up. I might just edit my bbPress theme, but I'd prefer to have a plugin do this... any word on an update? richcon on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-669 Sat, 08 Dec 2007 19:51:25 +0000 richcon 669@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <code>get_author_name()</code> is a function in the WordPress API, not bbPress. It works you load the WordPress API by putting <code>require_once '/path/to/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'</code> in your bbPress's config.php file. But all it does is return the user's display_name. I didn't go that route since loading the entire WordPress API's a bit heavy for something as simple as this, and slows down my site's page load time a lot. So I made a function similar to what ScottDavis did and went with that. ScottDavis on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-642 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 07:33:25 +0000 ScottDavis 642@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ eddd54 - should have read this before going to the effort of making this plugin work. You're right about this being better to do in a template than a plugin. I'm removing my changes and using yours. Not sure if you forgot to mention this, but with at least my setup get_author_name() is not an available function. I created one and put it in header.php: function get_author_name( $id ) { $user = bb_get_user( $id ); if ( empty($user->display_name) ) return $user->user_login; return $user->display_name; } ScottDavis on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-641 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 07:04:55 +0000 ScottDavis 641@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ Did some looking into the permissions problem - details <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-add-additional-tags-to-post?replies=16#post-12130">here</a> eddd54 on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-612 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 05:52:24 +0000 eddd54 612@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ ok, so to work around the problem, and for those who still want to show WP display names in their bbPress templates you can just edit the files in your my-tempaltes directory and replace the bb calls with wp calls.. [topic.php] replaced <code>get_topic_author()</code> with <code>get_author_name( $topic->topic_poster )</code> replaced <code>get_topic_last_poster()</code> with <code>get_author_name( $topic->topic_last_poster )</code> [frontpage.php and forum.php] replaced <code>topic_last_poster()</code> with <code>echo get_author_name( $topic->topic_last_poster )</code> [profile.php] replaced <code>echo get_user_name( $user->ID )</code> with <code>echo $user->display_name</code> and so on.. for post.php - if you want the display_name wrapped in a link you can use this slightly modified version of <code>post_author_link()</code> <code>function my_post_author_link( $post_id = 0 ) {</code> <code>if ( $link = get_user_link( get_post_author_id( $post_id ) ) ) {</code> <code>echo '<a href="' . attribute_escape( $link ) . '">' . get_author_name( get_post_author_id( $post_id ) ) . '</a>';</code> <code>} else {</code> <code>echo get_author_name( get_post_author_id( $post_id ) );</code> <code>}</code> <code>}</code> i put the function in my header.php file for now.. until i find a better place for it. then, i replaced the call to <code>post_author_link()</code> in my-templates/post.php with <code>my_post_author_link()</code> there's probably a better/shorter way to do this, but to be honest, i think i prefer dealing with display_names as a template issue. I mean, shouldn't we be modifying the display_name on the way out of the database instead of on the way in? This way, if i ever decide to deactivate this plugin (as i just did), i am not left with a mashup of WP display_names and bbPress topic_poster_names in my db.. eddd54 on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-611 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 20:35:18 +0000 eddd54 611@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ i am having the same problem as the previous 3 commentors, but for me the issue is with setting the support status of a given post. basically, it breaks the Support Forum plugin (v2.3.2) with bbPress0.8.3 and WP2.3. when (as Admin) i try to change: This topic is "resolved/not resolve/not a support question"... i get: "You don't have permission to do that." disabling the "Use Display Name" plugin fixes the issue. goebelmasse on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-610 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 02:03:32 +0000 goebelmasse 610@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ I am experiencing similar problems as Jolacdana. The most serious problem is that nobody is allowed to add a new tag to a discussion thread, not even a keymaster user, in bbPress 0.8.3. After deactivating the plugin, everything works normal. It is a strange bug I did not expect. But at the moment, I cannot decide that the bug is in the plugin - it may be a bbPress bug as well. Someone has to look at it. <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-add-additional-tags-to-post?replies=13">There is a thread in the forum for this problem</a>, which shows, that this bug causes a lot of confusion. Jolaedana on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-606 Mon, 22 Oct 2007 22:48:17 +0000 Jolaedana 606@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ Hi, This is causing permissions issues with the most recent version of BBPress, 8.3. Among the problems are: *No permission to create forums *No permission to delete posts *No permission to add more than one tag *No permission to edit posts Basically, seems like the usual keymaster rights aren't working.

Any advice? _ck_ on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-468 Tue, 31 Jul 2007 08:22:27 +0000 _ck_ 468@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ Okay this version does a search/replace so it leaves anything appended to the uri intact. In theory. <pre><code>function bb_use_display_name_profile_link($r, $id) { $user_obj = new BB_User( $id ); //Mod if ( $user_obj->has_cap('moderate') ) { //Mod if ( bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' ) === 'slugs') { $user = bb_get_user( bb_get_user_id( $id ) ); $r=str_replace("/profile/".$user->user_login,"/profile/".$id,$r); } } // Mod return $r; } add_filter( 'get_user_profile_link', 'bb_use_display_name_profile_link',1, 2)</code></pre> _ck_ on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-467 Tue, 31 Jul 2007 07:18:52 +0000 _ck_ 467@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ I wish this somehow worked on profile links when "slugs" are enabled. I can force it to trick the link to use the display name but on the destination, the profile.php does not know how to interpret the display name. Okee I'll work on this for a bit, I think the solution is to just use the user id # instead of the name when it's a mod. TADA! add this to display-name.php to force mods's profile links to use their id #'s instead of their login names when "slugs" are enabled - everyone else still gets pretty slugs <pre><code>function bb_use_display_name_profile_link($r, $id) { $user_obj = new BB_User( $id ); //Mod if ( $user_obj->has_cap('moderate') ) { //Mod if ( bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' ) === 'slugs') { $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "profile/" . $id; // . ( 1 < $page ? "/page/$page" : '' ); not sure how to handle pages since they aren't passed } } // Mod return $r; } add_filter( 'get_user_profile_link', 'bb_use_display_name_profile_link',1, 2)</code></pre> Doesn't handle pages on profile links though. Not sure how to deal with that. I could take the orignal link build and just do a search and replace for their login name to the id # .... hmm... something on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-385 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 08:49:40 +0000 something 385@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ and this one... add_filter( 'get_topic_author', 'bb_use_display_name' thanks for the plugin.... _ck_ on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-355 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 13:24:53 +0000 _ck_ 355@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ You missed a filter - this one needs to be added: <pre><code>add_filter( 'get_topic_last_poster', 'bb_use_display_name', 1, 2 );</code></pre> (you have the one without the echo/get_) mdawaffe on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-4 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 23:01:16 +0000 mdawaffe 4@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ A simple example plugin. mdawaffe on "Use Display Name" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/#post-2 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 21:47:57 +0000 mdawaffe 2@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ Use a moderator's display name as the name of the moderator rather than the moderator's login name.
