I'm patiently waiting for an update =).

This plugin will be a huge help helping my team and I discuss development progress. Keep up the good work!

I too am having the problem of the forums resetting themselves to being completely public. I can't track down what might be causing it.

Is there a way that the plugin could default to 100% lockout rather than 100% open until this is identified?

I am using version 5.2.

I'm having the same problem as schmitt and _ck_. Any word on what might be causing this?

Also _ck_, you mentioned adding this to the plugin:

if (!bb_current_user_can("moderate")) {$private_forums_for_user[8] = "MODERATOR";}

Could you please tell me where to put that line exactly?

I'm trying to have some of my forums visible to visitors who aren't logged in and some forums visible only to users given permission. When I installed this extension, all forums became invisible to visitors not logged in (even the ones marked "Open to all"). Logged in users can see the forums they're allowed to see so the privacy function is working properly when logged in.

If I turn off "hide private forums," all visitors (logged in or not) can see all topics, even the ones restricted to Moderators (though they're marked private and the contents can't be accessed).

Should visitors be able to see forums marked "open to all" without logging in?

This plugin seems to be making it impossible to send private messages, but it's only doing so when a private message quotes another and is sent by a non-admin account.

Hello, search results are not filtered on my forums... :( Using the 5.2; any fixes ?

I found a bug.

When I turn the show/hide vs messages to hide forums/topics

and set some topics to private, all the topics get privatized....

or some strange selection of them do.

Now when I turn set it to print "private!!!" the privates forums/topics seem to work as expected.

I am using BBPRESS 8.3

Here is what I did to fix it.

In the function 'private_forums_filter_forums'

I did this

foreach($forums as $k => $forum) {
if(!array_key_exists($forum->forum_id,$private_forums)) {
$new_forums[$k] = $forum;
}
}

It used to be this.

foreach($forums as $forum) {
if(!array_key_exists($forum->forum_id,$private_forums)) {
$new_forums[] = $forum;
}
}

It turns out my system had a lot of forums added and deleted. So the first forum was forum_id = 4

And that's the thing that caused my problem.

When the filter 'get_forums' gets called, it passed an array of forums to the function private_forums_filter_forums()

I looked at the array of incoming forum objects. They started at index 4 (the same number as the lowest forum_id.

But when the the function returns, it placed all the valid objects and moved them up to the first index in the array
$new_forums[] = $forum;

This caused bbpress to not display the forums whether or not they were public or private.

That seems screwy to me. but it works.

Thought I would try to save someone a few hours.

Thank you so much David! That was a huge help. I've been frustrated with that one for a while and that helped perfectly. Much appreciated!

Hi,
Were you able to finish the "anonymous posting" plug in? I see there is some efforts months ago under http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/633 but I am not sure how to install that.

We need anonymous posting for our site. Any help is appreciated.

Great plugin Aditya. One small quirk - on the custom error page that people get when they're not logged in, I'm getting slashes appearing before any apostrophes I put in the text. Any ideas how to get round this?
Thanks

Hi, I'm having a problem with private (hidden) topics showing up in the latest list.. I thought it wasn't happening, but it seems to be.. perhaps it's since I used the fix above to let me hide the forums?

Has anyone else found a wrk round to this?

Hello,
This is a nice plugin but I was hoping for more ;)

What would be better is an option to separate out reading from writing, i.e. it would be nice to allow guests to view topics but not to write/create for some forums and for others to not allow viewing or updating (e.g. admin areas)

Another useful feature would be to allow replying to topics but not the creation of new topics, i.e. a fixed set of topics in a forum.

I would like my private forums to show on the front page WITHOUT the word "private" or brackets or anything else in front of the heading. (When the user clicks on the heading, they get the usual message that the forum is private, etc.)

In the admin panel, there is a space to indicate how you would like to label a private forum, but if you leave it blank, it defaults to putting the word private in front of the headings.

Suggestions?

I love this plugin /BUT/ it screws up my front page (http://www.delaytactics.com/forums/) even though I know that I have the order correct and everything. For some reason, every forum that has a post in it does not appear on the front page...
Seems I might have davidrodal's problem - I'll check out his solution and comment further later

Looks like I have a different problem. My forum order screws up entirely: The first one doesn't appear at all, which leads to (for some reason) its first subforum being invisible whilst the other subforum is fine. The more forums I add to the list, the more other forums disappear... I don't get it. Can anyone help me?

edit: Is this, by any chance, simply not compatible with V0.9 yet?

I deactivated this plugin and it still has my forums to be private.

HELP!

gerikg, physically delete the plugin file. If they are still private you have another plugin hiding them.
