    Another solution could be to use the preg_replace function or something similar to edit out the original quote so you’re not nesting them at all, just taking what was written by the person who is doing the quoting

    I’m having trouble with this plugin – MediaWiki version 1.6.9, using the Authpress.php from the codex link in the first post.

    I try to log in and I get this error:

    ..from within function “AuthPress::authenticate”. MySQL returned error “1146: Table ‘*********.wk_wp_users’ doesn’t exist (*****.***)”

    It looks like it’s appending wk_ before my user table?

    Yeah, taking it out was a good idea. My forum doesnt use it and making it something that isnt in the core code makes it more useful as a ‘general’ forum right out of the box and not just a forum software for tech support.

    This would be nice, or some kind of unified solution between the two where users can have their own ‘page’ so to speak

    Here’s hoping :)

    Precisely so they dont have to log out and log back in. Plus some people dont have more than one email address to register with, and i’d rather not have people giving fake/gimmick addresses.

    It allows people to have different ‘personas’ if you will… not for role playing necessarily, more kind of what posting style/mood they’re in

    I can’t begin to express how psyched I am that you did this! I really do think its a good idea and will help a lot of forums increase their activity.

    By the way, it worked without a hitch and i have it installed over at http://outletzine.org/forums now :)

    I too just got a request for embedded video links on my forum… there’s a plugin that allows img tags and im wondering if i can modify that?

    My concern is that there’s so much HTML that goes into embedding a simple swf file that i’m not sure how it would all pan out…

    Do you have pretty permalinks? that seems to really, really help the most out of all the SEO tricks that are already most taken care of for you (graciously) by the bbpress coders

    That’s pretty cool, but the plugin is only available for WordPress. That means you’d have to call the wordpress tag within bbPress, and I dont load wordpress with my forum (way too complicated for what i need)

    However, somebody could take the wordpress code and customize it for bbPress :)

    Adding my support… in my old phpBB board i had a section called ‘ftl/n’ (for the lose, or no?) section that I encouraged people to take their flame wars/immaturity to that only registered users could see (so guests didn’t have to see threads descend into madness) and I’d like to be able to get that feature back.

    Np, and thank you – that worked.

    In reply to: bozo’s?

    @aphelionz

    Participant

    Er… thanks haha.

    The first thing I read at that topic is “a bozo could be a person that doesnt search the forums before posting”

    but I did! I swear I did!

    Thanks :)

    Three types of forums:

    Kind of Active

    Very Active

    Way too Active

    View posts since last visit is how users in most “Very Active” forums keep track of what’s going on, as well as the moderators, so it should be available.

    (Compare this to kind of active forums where you can immediately tell what’s changed, and way too active forums where users usually search out/discover and ‘subscribe’ to their favorite threads in the sea of threads.

    This will also help people in the transition from an older forum solution like phpBB.

    The links you mentioned also still be useful for moderators, especially “posts with no tags.” if they want to go in and clean up after the users. Perhaps resolved/unresolved/not a support question should just be made extensible so users can pick whatever they want to put there, or choose not to use it at all.

    PS- If you comment those links out of your front-page.php that should solve a lot of your immediate problems.

    Very professional answer, berg80… you must know that the answer to RedSkunk’s question is no more than a few right clicks away… but I wonder if he knows that?

    Thats neat. Makes my eyes water with joy.

    Everything has been slowly gravitating toward WordPress on my site, i can’t wait until everything i need is right in that admin panel and I can kiss major PHP overhauls goodbye.

    Make a my-templates folder, and inside of it copy front-page.php from your bb-templates folder. In the new file, move some stuff around :)

    The templates are nice and simple so anybody that can read a small, I stress simple piece of HTML with a few embedded PHP tags can understand them.

    Excellent once again. Ran without a hitch!

    n22 – in your forums folder there’s a folder called bb-templates. make a new folder called my-templates and copy these files from bb to my template folder – edit-form.php, post-form.php

    Edit those files – find the only instance of textarea in them and put that php code (just copy and paste, it’s ok!) in a reasonable spot nearby. For example, they said above, but i chose below because i thought it worked better. All depends on the template.

    PS – GREAT JOB! It worked perfectly for me

    but that’s exactly what I did but I plugin-ified it instead of just hacking the code…

    I just tried what you did and it works! Excellent. There must be something wrong with my plugin approach (aka i don’t fully understand filters).

    Great work – my users will be excited.
