Glad to see someone made it happen as this has been a popular request. Everyone should strongly consider spam issues though - akismet allows a great deal through and you might be in for some surprises.
How does this behave with other plugins? I know I check bb_current_user_can a great deal, does this modify roles and permissions?

it does change anything much.. it adds write_posts and write_topics when processing bb_post.php

Can a guest set a name and will this name be stored in a cookie or something? Or will his name just be like: guest_2435?

no.. it will always be 'Anonymous'

I've added capability to set custom text like - Guest or Visitor or something to anonymous user in options in the trunk.

I' m using this and get quite a few spam's. Even if Akismet catches them, I'm using the "Moderator New Post Notification" plugin, so I get an email for every spam.
One thing that would be great is a "human-test" feature that could go with this plugin, something like the human test for registration plugin, http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/.
I don't have the skills to put that together, but if someone would have a go at that I think it would be great!Posted: 1 year ago # -
Hey so1o,
*edit* OK. It wasn't that hard to find. Would it be possible to have this as a user definable field? I know it's another db field to worry about, but it would be very useful.
About the custom text has been added to the trunk. Will it be available in the current version soon, or is there cvs access? I'd really like to try it out.
Thanks!

It's occurred to me that a handy addition would be to allow anonymous posting on certain sub-forums only. Should be fairly straightforward to implement?

Hmm why not make this more WP alike?
So a guest can fill in his name and e-mail adres (for gravatar) and this is stored in a cookie.
For some extra anti spam, use the human test plugin (or extend it) so that when not logged in, show/add human test underneet each form.
To make it more simple: When logged in, use normal form else use guest form (name, email, human test).
Or can't forms be filtered/hooked?

Yes, that would definitely make this plugin more viable. Integration of a human test and a name for each anonymous poster would be very useful.

Since bbPress 1.0 will allow "display names" like WordPress, storing a self-selected name for the anonymous user should then be more easily possible, though there is still no meta for posts so I am not certain how this will be stored.

This is definitely a great plugin. Thanks. Hope it gets updated.

I have experimented with placing the anonymous name and email in the topic-meta, but I feel it is kind of ugly to store name and email for each anonymous post in the topic-meta (The topic will get a meta entry for each anonymous post).
_ck_: Is there a trac issue that describes this display name thing for I cannot see it in the current bbpress schema.
Posted: 8 months ago # -
snakefoot, my idea is useless in that the display names are still only stored in the user table on bbPress 1.0, not the bb_posts table which would mimic WordPress's comments table which has a place to store the display name.
However 1.0 now has an all-purpose meta table (bb_meta) which is perfectly capable of storing a custom display name for any post. Some code would have to be created to insert the display name in there.

Hello everyone! I was looking for such a plugin for ages. Finally i found it. Unfortunately, when i install it, i get the following error:
Fatal error: Class 'BB_User' not found in /home/... /bb-plugins/bb-anonymous-posting
/bb-anonymous-posting.php on line 58This line looks like this:
$bb_current_user = new BB_User($anon_id);Any idea what can go wrong?
Oh, i am running BBpress Version 1.0-alpha-2.
Can this be down to the version?Posted: 8 months ago # -
Change that line to look like this:
$bb_current_user = new WP_User($anon_id);BB_User also occurs two other times in the file. Change those as well.
If you get that far, you will be at the same place as I am right now. No more fatal error, but when not logged in (i.e. logged in as anonymous), the post form does not show - that area of the page is just blank. I was going to post here when I saw your problem, which was the first one I solved. I have not looked into this other problem yet.

Thanks, Chrishajer, true, the form does not show up. Actually, the plugin generates "Fatal Error" when activated.
