In reply to: Talkpress?? VIP?In reply to: Can not post ‘New Topic in this Forum’
Looks good to me, I like the rounded edges.
Drop the BB logo and replace it with your own and you’re all set.
Make sure you still have the bb_head and bb_foot action hooks in your customized template, not sure if you removed them, otherwise you’ll have problems with some plugins.
In reply to: Unable to access “Admin” areaFirst see if it’s just your browser remembering the old redirect by adding something like
?123
on your /bb-admin/ urlie. http://example.com/forums/bb-admin/?123
also try deleting the cookies again for your site
In reply to: Can not post ‘New Topic in this Forum’My guess would be a bug with your pretty permalinks setup.
See if it happens if you temporarily turn them off.
If you are using multiviews, change it to real .htaccess rewrite rules.
In reply to: Data format for bbpress?In reply to: Plugin for statisticsThat is from my Mini-Track plugin but I do not recommend you use it at this time as it is buggy and I don’t have the time to maintain it because of it’s complexity.
Instead you could use Mini-Stats and Members Online to get some of the functionality.
In reply to: Alpha 7…anytime soon????Here’s what you should have read before posting this question:
https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/10
Not sure what your rush is for alpha 7 unless you aren’t using any of my plugins.
I will not be supporting 1.0 any further until it is final release which may not happen this year. You should only be using 0.9 on live sites, it’s very stable.
In reply to: *lost* username password for adminAssuming you had a valid email address setup, just do a password recovery/reset at your bb-login.php page
If the username isn’t even valid that probably means you are pointing to the wrong set of db tables.
In reply to: Agitainment.Comics Forumswaymedia I think the confusion is that sometimes you’ll see an empty topic when akismet flags the first post as spam, even if it’s a false positive. bbPress doesn’t delete the whole topic, just the post, which is a bad behavior unfortunately, needs a TRAC ticket.
I’ve un-spammed it since it was a false positive.
If you ever see a topic like that, tag it with “modlook”
(note to Chris, apparently we need to check the akismet admin section more often as I just found a whole bunch of false positives in there)
agitainment, that’s a great integration into your theme, really shows off the power of bbPress to blend in to an existing site. Maybe make the blue text, slightly darker for better contrast?
In reply to: Registrations and Spam.You really get that many humans registering to spam on a smaller site?
One solution I use on a large site is to prevent any post with more than 2 urls.
Spammers typically cannot help but be morons and post several urls at once, normal humans rarely post more then two per post, and then not every post.
Not sending a password would be fairly easy by hacking the core, I’d have to look at it more carefully to see if it can be done via plugin without hacks. I believe it’s done in
pluggable.php
which means it’s replaceable, so that’s good.Another method would be to use my Instant Password but NOT do the final step of logging them in and activating the account, but instead store a scrambled password and log the request, then manually authorizing it which would drop their chosen password hash into place. The important/hard part is not letting them request a new password to activate the account.
This might also be worth a shot but not sure if it’s useful against humans unless they work from the same IP pool:

In reply to: Punaji.com Art and StuffI for one really like what you did.
In reply to: Adding Legal Disclaimer to Login PageOr use the Terms of Service plugin.
In reply to: How to get NICE NAME from poster_idThere is no need to post the question in several places at once. Just ask it once.
There are several problems with your question and the solution posed in that other topic but we can talk about it on this topic:
Yes but that wouldn’t work from the WordPress side.
The correct way to do it directly would be to either use the topic table which has the topic_poster_name (not bb_posts) or to use a LEFT JOIN on the user table to fetch the user_login.
The LEFT JOIN will also get you the display name.
But there are several problems with your question.
First of all, you mean Display Name, not Nice Name, unless you are trying to use it in a way I don’t understand.
Secondly 0.9 doesn’t use Display Name.
Third,
“SELECT * FROM bb_posts WHERE topic_id=$topic_id AND post_id != $first_reply_id AND post_status=0 ORDER BY post_time DESC”
is a very inefficient query, there’s no LIMIT, you are using *
what exactly are you trying to find?
In reply to: bbpress dont Suport arabic names in registrationThere is a plugin that will remove all restrictions on the user_login name too.
Oh wait, I see you linked to it:

In reply to: Installing Plug In’s for BBpressYes, a keymaster can make other members keymasters, just edit their profile and change level.
Just remember you are giving 100% access to those people.
Yikes. Well I guess that is one way. Books are great but nothing beats hands-on.
Funny thing is I’ve never read a book about PHP or MySQL
I learned through reading other people’s code and trial and error and reading php.net and mysql.com
Not knowing how to make a link from one page to another though is a more fundamental problem, it means you don’t know HTML either?
A link to your front page looks like this:
<a href="http://herbalremedyforum.com/">main site</a>
However in your case, your theme already has a section for a nice menu at the top.
It looks like the theme author was clever enough to put in a way to modify it.
Save this as a file called
_my-custom-menu.php
http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f4d77734c
and upload it into the bbpress
my-plugins
directory. If you don’t have such a directory, make one (just like thebb-plugins
that’s already there)Alternately you could edit
functions.php
in yourgenealogias
theme folder around line 102function gs_navigation_menu() {
$links = array();
$links[] = sprintf('<a href="%s">%s</a>', bb_get_option('uri'), __('Front Page', 'genealogies'));
$links[] = sprintf('<a href="%s">%s</a>', bb_get_tag_page_link(), __('Tags'));
$links[]='<a href="http://herbalremedyforum.com/">main site</a>';
printf('<ul class="primary xoxo"><li>%s</li></ul>', implode('</li><li>', apply_filters('gs_navigation_menu', $links)));
}In reply to: Sumit-Online: Feedback?I like how you matched your blog design/layout and how the header just slides on top of it all.
In reply to: Mazcue.com.ar (WP + BBpress)Very nice use of the color tones.
I also like how you used Topic Icons.
In reply to: Can’t see plugin, etcYou are logging in as a regular admin and not the keymaster.
Only keymasters can see the advanced plugins and settings.
Did you demote yourself from keymaster to regular administrator?
Or are you logging in as another user you created as an administrator?
If you are user # 1 and still don’t know what is wrong
you can try using this plugin to fix your access level
In reply to: Installing Plug In’s for BBpressYou have to be a KEYMASTER to see the advanced settings/plugins menu in bbPress
A regular administrator in bbPress only has slightly more rights than a moderator.
If you are already the keymaster (and user #1) and still can’t see the plugins section, perhaps try this plugin to fix it:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/
(it’s an auto-load plugin so it doesn’t need activation)
edlvg you want something like
echo "Posted by $result->topic_poster_name";
I just realized I completely missed explaining how to get forum names via WordPress, I was telling people to use bbPress functions which is of course impossible from WordPress. Let me know if anyone still needs the help.
In reply to: something happening on TalkPress.comIt was great to see Matt post here but don’t get used to it – first time in two years or so. I suspect he has way too many things to manage these days, his company is growing in leaps and bounds.
In reply to: Last logged / Not logged in forHey I made this today just for you
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/members-online/
(well, I’ve been meaning to make it since my Mini-Track is broken)
I’ll make some custom views for it over the weekend to show who is most active or least active. It will be easy now because the last time is tracked in their metadata.
Any template editing guide for WordPress should still be helpful for bbPress.
The header and footer parts are somewhat similar, just some slightly different names inside.
You are also going to need to change that link on your WordPress side for the forums to the proper link but that might be tricky since it’s not an internal wordpress page.
