    FYI, WP 2.7 and BB .9 aren’t really compatible. Apparently some people have managed to make them work, but it involves a bit of work.

    Can you log in to WordPress?

    What version of WordPress?

    Did you try flushing all your browser cookies?

    I admit, I’m using the same tool (but I force all registration through WP so I run a plugin there). It’s actually used with Bad-Behavior and Akismet, since those were catching about 90% of the forum spam (and 99.99999% of the blog spam). Dunno what it is but you get more spammers able to make accounts via bbPress than WordPress.

    I just pasted them into my template files, worked fine.

    Probably by changing this: 'show_author' => 1, Make the 1 a 0?

    A functions.php should be like this:

    <?php

    function bb_nonce_ays( $action ) {
    $title = __( 'bbPress Failure Notice' );
    $html .= "t<div id='message' class='updated fade'>nt<p>" . wp_specialchars( bb_explain_nonce( $action ) ) . "</p>nt<p>";
    if ( wp_get_referer() )
    $html .= "" . __( 'Please try again.' ) . "";
    $html .= "</p>nt</div>n";
    $html .= "</body>n</html>";
    bb_die( $html, $title );
    }

    ?>

    Logically, I’d say start by learning how the ‘loop’ works (look in topic.php) and figure out how to list all posts. From there, you should be able to sort them.

    Stupid question – Don’t you have to remove_filter('filter_i_want_to_replace') first?

    kevinjohngallagher, I had that thought, but then I wondered how WP set the bb_users information. How will it know to update multiple tables, etc.

    @ipstenu

    bbPress isn’t, by nature, designed for that. You’re kind of looking for blog functionality in a forum. Looking at the related functions, I see there’s a way to get first and last, but the posts aren’t sequential. Or rather, they are but they aren’t directly consecutive so you can’t just get the first post and add 1. There’s nothing built in, or easily hackable for that.

    I’m a Mac/Ubunto User at home (and my office is stuck on IE 6) so … what problems are happening with IE 8?

    @ipstenu

    Moderator

    Assuming that by ‘sec post’ you mean the second post.

    Just the second post of any topic or a specific topic or … What’s the significance of the second post? What’s your plugin supposed to do? I’m asking because it’s easier to help someone if you actually know what they’re trying to do.

    If all you want is a plugin that lists links to the second post of every topic, that’s different than say, one that lists the second post of topics about cabbages. They look similar, but they aren’t always :)

    The # is a direct link to that post.

    What are you trying to do in your plugin that needs it?

    @ipstenu

    Moderator

    I see you have WP on your site as well. Does it send emails when users register?

    Do you have bbPress integrated with WP?

    What version of bbPress are you running?

    @ipstenu

    Fixed.

    Changed

    <?php if ( $avatar = bb_get_avatar( bb_get_current_user_info( 'name' ), $size = '50' ) ) : ?>
    <div style="float:right;"><?php echo $avatar; ?></div>
    <?php unset($avatar); endif; ?>

    to

    <?php if ( $avatar = bb_get_avatar( bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ), $size = '50' ) ) : ?>
    <div style="float:right;"><?php echo $avatar; ?></div>
    <?php unset($avatar); endif; ?>

    This issue is fixed with trunk as of … er now?

    Side error is my old hack to fetch the gravatar on the front page is borked, but that’s okay :)

    It looks like it can’t see your database (table’s not existing and all that), which is why I asked about the permissions and user id etc etc. Check table name, SQL ID access, etc. bbPress isn’t seeing your shared DB, which is why nothing’s getting written.

    Past that, I’m not sure why it couldn’t write. Typos and permissions are the top causes for that.

    @ipstenu

    Moderator

    Are you sure you’re pointed to the right DB and that your ID/password for the DB is correct (and has access to write to the DB)?

    Did you customize the files in that folder to design your site?

    @ipstenu

    Moderator

    Wait … I remember that issue. Or something like it… It was in 1.0alpha3 or 4 I think, around the time that quotes in links broke things.

    @ipstenu

    Moderator

    No, it’s probably becuase it’s Sunday.

    bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin, so unless you have conflicting htaccess files, I can’t see why that would happen.

    What folder is bbPress loaded in and what folder is WP loaded in?

    +1 chrishajer – PM was a way for people to stalk and harass each other on my old forums :/ ‘ef it.

    Now, perhaps a ‘show/hide email’ option would be nice, but PM? Ick. It makes you (the site owner) responsible for people being asshats in a way you can’t easily monitor.

    Check your bb-config.php file for blank lines outside of

    <?php

    [foo]
    ?>

    @ipstenu

    You should be able to delete and edit from the post view, not the admin view.

    What version of bbPress?
