In principle it’s possible to do so by replacing all the template functions with custom functions that call a custom filter first, but it probably wouldn’t work out overall (not everyone would do it, plugins would still have to be written for forums without this, changes to the core would have to be replicated …).
Probably better to say that not all functions have _hooks_ or _filters_, since pluggable refers to them being overwritable with another function (see bb-includes/pluggable.php).
You could request this in trac I suppose. Might be quite a decent feature in the future.
> I guess ‘>’ in front of every _paragraph_.
It’s still annoying somewhat annoying
. I don’t want to have to scroll through a wall of text looking for new paragraphs. Perhaps >>Quote …. << ? What would also be interesting is the ability to add the name of who you’re quoting. Name>>Quote<< or “Name blah”>>Quote<<? Although that’s starting to get a bit artificial.It is an option to make this plugin rewrite the posts as they’re being read, but I was worried about the extra server load (although it’s pretty light code) and it’s playing pretty badly with the Allow Images plugin.
I don’t want to keep hosting it on my server, so I’ll take this down the next time I think about it. http://www.loinhead.net/files/felise
http://www.loinhead.net/files/felise.php is a working, non-bb copy of the script so you can test it (note that >>Name[post#] doesn’t work). Ignore the sucky name, I hate naming things and needed something just temporarily
<?php if( #conditional# ) {
//some code
} ?>Unfortunately determining if this is the last page is a little bit difficult. You need code like this (taken from template-functions.php):
global $page, $topic;
$add = topic_pages_add();
$last_page = get_page_number( $topic->topic_posts + $add );
if( $page == $last_page ) {
//some code
}which is way more code than it should be. You should be able to use (but can’t yet)
if( bb_last_page() ) {
// some code
}so I’m submitting a trac ticket so that hopefully in the next version you can do that.
In your case, the
// some codeshould be:print( '<h2 class="post-form">POST A REPLY</h2>' );Worth noting, in PHP
strings(ie. text in code) are marked by opening and closing with'or". If you open a string with'then"will be ignored and the other way round, too. So you could have usedprint( "<h2 class='post-form'>POST A REPLY</h2>" );Also in PHP functions have to be like this:
function_name( #arguments );where #arguments can be things like a string, or a variable you set earlier. Some functions do without the brackets but all of them work fine with brackets, so it’s best to always use them.

Hmm. Still don’t know about a name. Ignore the name there and upload, activate.
In addition to what I said last post,
*bolded stuff* => bolded stuff
_italic words_ => italic words
**notbold** => *notbold*
__notitalic__ => _notitalic_
link@http://somerealurl… => link
“link text blah”@http://somerealurl… => link text blah
#, *, -, (1, 2, 3), (a, b, c) =
> <ul/ol><li> .... </li> .... </ul/ol>(Numbers, letters need to be in order. Any punctuation after it will also be accepted.)>>Name[post#] => >> Name
(Not italicised or bolded in: u*blah*, _ blah_)
I believe that covers everything. I’ll have a look at Markdown, see if it does anything cool that I’d want too.
The last one is pretty neat but mostly for another plugin that I have on my site that’s also unreleased. Might ask for plugin space for that one now I guess.
Oh, also worth noting that standard behaviour for this plugin is ‘compiling’ the text when the post is saved. That means that it doesn’t make your forum any slower (all the work is done when the post is saved) and that if at any point you remove this plugin, old posts written with it will look exactly the same so you can do that anytime without problems.
[Edit] Markdown is … complicated. When I wrote this, I wrote it to go along with bbPress, so it’s a lot simpler. It doesn’t support stuff like paragraphing because bbPress already does that. And I wrote it so you wouldn’t have to remember anything, but so that the stuff you’d write anyway is formatted nice. No need to think what the syntax is or anything like that. I like what it did with blockquotes. I’ll put in some syntax for blockquotes, even if having to put
>in front of every line sounds tiresome. But what do people think about italicising or bolding inside words? I took it out to avoid unintentional formatting, but Markdown has it in (for stuff like un*fucking*believable) and now I’m not so sure.1. Some dudes do, yeah. But it seems to be a minority; who can tell? Maybe bbPress does just have a few new users a week
2. Haven’t seen one. Believe there was some trouble with older converters somebody dug up.
3. New version is in development, and I expect there will be new versions in development for a while. Don’t let that stop you getting it now. There’s no release planned for the next week as far as I know.
4. It’s not in the core and there’s no indication that’s what’s being worked on right now. It’d have to be a plugin. Last I read they fixed their RSS problems? It will say in the plugin topic, anyway.
5. It’s one of the wp devs that’s developing bb at the moment. They all work for the same small company. I don’t think one release would ever break the other.
Coolio. Few problems recently (apart from Sneaky
) so I uploaded. No topic for it yet but I expect there will be at https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/56[Edit] And it is! Rate it please
It is funkin’ brilliant. I hope you downloaded the latest release ( https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk, at the bottom of the page is the Zip Archive link to the latest) because it has a bunch of fixes and changes.
Can you detail anything you had to do to make it work, for future people who want to do this stuff?
