It’s working for me…
I think the problem mazdakam is having is that moderators won’t see the link… you have to login as a regular user.
Which is the correct behavior, of course.
I agree with fel64 that a bb_votes table would be a much better option for scaling.
Redirect after submit is a pretty normal way to do things, most frameworks like rails do the same thing.
Well the problem with polldaddy is that it runs in javascript or flash and doesn’t integrate entirely well with the forum… you won’t want to give everybody the access to add javascript to your forum.
Nice to have a poll feature built into a forum so you can open it up to whoever to make their own polls.
And you’ve done a very nice job so far!
polldaddy really is very nice… and it’s all ajax
I’ve got that there as well…
I’m going to break out the debugger and figure out what is going wrong.
It works!
You should really change the default colors to something compatible with bbPress… it’s easy to change them, but still.
Very good work otherwise… I’ll play with it some more.
I haven’t tried the trunk yet either… I just opened my forum a week ago and I’m trying to keep up with all the traffic and add the most important missing features.
The one thing that is very frustrating is that administration and moderation in bbPress is not only virtually non-existent, but it’s not even all in one place. If I want to delete a user, I can’t do it from the admin panel, I have to go to their profile instead… annoying.
I want a plugin that lets me take a reply post and turn it into a new topic. That’s a sorely lacking feature. Your move-it plugin almost fits the bill, but I have to create a new topic first, and then move the post, and then delete my original post in the new topic, or just make it say “look below, moving post into topic”.
I wouldn’t drop the table when you deactivate the plugin… what if I’m using the plugin and want to temporarily deactivate it? I’d lose all the data.
Actually I had the same problem with the prior release, I just thought it was me.
That was quick! You are great!
On a side note…. when I download the zip file, 2 of the files in the additional-files directory are 0 length. I can grab them off the svn, so it’s not a big deal, but you might want to check that.
I added the javascript back in but still didn’t have any luck.
This would be an excellent addition to bbPress. Hopefully somebody has lots of free time to work on this!
It sounds like you really have a wordpress question since everything is running under wordpress… but here’s a plugin for wordpress to switch themes (I haven’t tried it myself)
http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/ThemeSwitcher
I don’t believe there is one for bbPress at the moment, considering there aren’t a lot of themes out there.
We are in perfect sync on that one… having xml-rpc pingbacks in a forum is the most worthless feature idea to ever be thought of. I’ve completely disabled them on wordpress because I don’t think they provide any true value to the reader, and most of them are spam anyway. I’ve written my own simple spam plugin to run in conjunction with Akismet because I was unsatisfied with what I was getting.
Your idea of the wordpress logins would work if they implemented OpenID in bbPress and had wordpress.com as an openid server. Would actually be a killer feature, I’d think.
I’ve hacked up my wp-cache2 to allow for more dynamic code to be called on each post. Most of my content is really very static, so I don’t need it to be updated often.
I’ve never had any issues with it caching the wrong versions though.
I’m using xcache with very good luck for wordpress, wordpress mu and bbpress on the same server. Also using mysql caching with very good success.
On a forum, the cache probably shouldn’t be the entire page, but rather sections of it or at least the more expensive queries. A visitor who isn’t logged in should probably see an almost completely cached version of the page.
wp-cache2 for wordpress seems to handle this pretty well, and the built-in caching in wordpress mu also seems to work quite well.
I’ve been posting my optimizations into each of the official forum threads for the plugins… I’m not sure if any of yours were affected or not… can’t remember at this point.
There’s the Add User plugin that will let you add users directly… I’ve used it a number of times for test accounts.
I’m probably going to have to create a bunch of new plugins over the next month… of course I’ll post them here for everybody to share 
Alright, so I’m not alone.
I suppose I should write a plugin for it then.
Strange, I’m integrating but not getting the email.
so1o,
I have been looking for something similar to the ChipIn gadget… I am so happy that I found your page just for that
Very nice theme also.
I’m using xcache and mysql query caching with quite a bit of memory assigned to each, I just don’t like going to the database unless there’s an actual need for it.
Few queries? That doesn’t seem right. If you are logged in, the amount of queries is ridiculous, especially if you are using plugins.
I’ve hacked most of the plugins to make them more efficient, but a topic with 5 posts is doing 20 queries or so.
Right now, it’s not a big deal since my forum isn’t even doing 1k pageviews/day, but I’m planning ahead for growth, and would like to have some type of caching somewhere.
I might end up helping you with that… I’d like to upgrade but a bunch of the plugins I’m using don’t support the trunk.
