    Unfortunately – I don’t think so. It would be extremely difficult to implement. You’re going to have to send a support ticket to xooit.com regardng your query. They might be able to send you sql files so that you can import them into a new account.

    I hope that helps.

    No-body has developed that yet. It may happen in the future – though I think it would be done through a WordPress integration.

    Yeah, the OpenID plugin works quite well. I wish it was a little more theme-adaptive, but there’s a work-around for everything. :)

    gerikg: Good idea – we’d like these meetings to be as productive as possible. And you’re very welcome to attend on Wednesday. :) Looking forward to hearing your ideas. :)

    The bbPress.org website is going to be re-vamped in the coming future. The plugin directory may include a comprehensive filtering system at some stage.

    I think you should suggest this in the current survey. Matt Mullenweg might want to know about it.

    I see – I never designed the plugin to be published – it was specifically for my forum. So I’m not sure how I’d get everything working there for an intergrated WP.

    @fundomaat: I’d really love to know how you got the “Members online today” thing. I’ve been trying to do it myself – but I’m not sure how. Also, I don’t want to experiment because my PC keeps lagging an I’m constanly loosing files over FTP. I can fix that soon enough though…

    I agree with Chrishajer. I didn;t know that bbPress does it without a plugin. This as I did not use my forum at all until I had some plugins installed (including bbcode).

    @Chrishajer: I don’t think it would have anything to do with the CSS file. I’m sure there’s a file (I haven’t looked) that has the function that parses the post.

    Hi rleon!

    Thanks for joining! :)

    The smaller statistics were entered manually based on functions in the built-in statistics file, except for the newly registered members which I wrote myself.

    The actual ‘Detailed Statistics’ comes from a plugin called MyViews. Search it up in the plugin browser.

    I also have a ton of other plugins – which is why the forum looks somewhat advanced.

    Regards

    I completely agree with you on that. There would be no point in putting effort into making a stable plugin for a version of bbPress that will soon be out of date.

    I’d really love to see the developments of this. :) Wish you luck with it :)

    I can’t see why it is giving you that error. Did you install the plugin properly? It should work 100%

    I uninstalled Mini-stats because I don’t like it. That script should be working.

    My statistics come from manually editing files – the plugins are not very helpful to me.

    I did write my own plugin – though you have to do manual editing to get the information to show. Simply add the following code to stats.php and place it in your plugins folder – and activate.

    <?php
    /**
    * Plugin Name: General Statistics
    * Plugin Description: Collects general statistics about the forum, including the newest users, online guests, and topic/post counts.
    * Author: Inniosoft
    * Author URI: http://www.inniosoft.co.cc
    * Version: 0.1
    */
    $mysql41 = true; // Change this if you have regular database problems

    function show_newest_users()
    {
    global $bbdb, $bb_table_prefix;
    $count = 3; // Edit this value to change how many users get displayed.
    if ($newestuser = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM ".$bb_table_prefix."users ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 0,".$count."")) :
    $counter = 0;
    foreach ($newestuser as $nu):
    $counter++;
    if ($count != 1 && $count > $counter) :
    if ($counter == $count - 1):
    if ($count == 2):
    $comma = " and ";
    else:
    $comma = ", and ";
    endif;
    else:
    $comma = ", ";
    endif;
    else :
    $comma = "";
    endif;
    if ($counter == $count) :
    if ($count > 1) :
    $stop = ".";
    else :
    $stop = "";
    endif;
    else :
    $stop = "";
    endif;
    $user = bb_get_user($nu->ID);
    $userdisplayname = (empty($user->display_name) ? $user->user_login : $user->display_name);
    $userprofilelink = get_user_profile_link($nu->ID);
    echo "<a href="".$userprofilelink."" title="See ".$userdisplayname."'s Profile">".$userdisplayname."</a>$comma$stop";
    endforeach;
    else : echo "Unable to fetch newest members(s). An error occured within the database.";
    endif;
    }

    function show_total_users()
    {
    global $bbdb, $bb_table_prefix;
    $totalusers = $bbdb->get_var( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ".$bb_table_prefix."users USE INDEX (PRIMARY);" );
    echo "".$totalusers."";
    }

    function show_total_posts()
    {
    global $bbdb, $bb_table_prefix;
    $totalposts = $bbdb->get_var( "SELECT SUM(posts) FROM ".$bb_table_prefix."forums;" );
    echo "".$totalposts."";
    }

    function show_total_topics()
    {
    global $bbdb, $bb_table_prefix;
    $totaltopics = $bbdb->get_var( "SELECT SUM(topics) FROM ".$bb_table_prefix."forums;" );
    echo "".$totaltopics."";
    }

    ?>

    Then, to show the information, add the following to either front-page.php or `footer.php:

    We have <b><?php show_total_users(); ?></b> registered members. Welcome to our newest members: <?php show_newest_users(); ?><br />
    Our members have made a total of <b><?php show_total_posts(); ?></b> posts in <b><?php show_total_topics(); ?></b> topics.</td>

    Hi bb-lover

    I recently wanted the same thing in my forum. I did not want to install complex plugins.

    If you’re looking for something like this: http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation (look at the bottom), then you need to add the following to your footer.php file in your template’s directory:

    <?php function show_total_users()
    {
    global $bbdb, $bb_table_prefix;
    $totalusers = $bbdb->get_var( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ".$bb_table_prefix."users USE INDEX (PRIMARY);" );
    echo "".$totalusers."";
    }
    ?>

    Hope that helps :)

    I’m glad it worked :) I’d probably want to find a way to enhance the plugin, but I don’t think I will as bbPress is soon to be changed. We had our first-ever IRC last night, and some major developments are going to come out of it – including things that have not yet been mentioned. So there’d be no point developing a plugin for an old version of bbPress.

    :)

    @Taeo: That sounds very interesting! :) And you have an excellent forum! :)

    If you ever make it a stable plugin – please let us know. I, for one, would make huge use of it! :) I did mention how I my bbPress to be a community site at the recent IRC.

    Great work! :)

    Most of those should already be there. I have separated the two rules at the top so you can see how it is done for pages.

    If your site has a forum directory (ie the forum does not reside on the top-level of your site, then you should remove the “devstation/”. If it does, then replace “devstation/” with your forum’s directory.

    Hi Raize

    bbPress is currently in that stage. There are a number of us who will be contributing to the new bbpress so that it will be a mature package.

    See this link for more information about the starting steps of this make-over: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-out-with-bbpress

    bbPress will take a while before it gets on it’s feet again – once it does, it’ll be great – competing with the likes of phpBB and SMF (vBulletin is out of the question as it is too ‘full’ of junk.)

    I highly suggest using bbPress. I’m using it here: http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation. As you can see, the quality is good and it caters for most things. Once bbPress starts getting better, upgrading will be easy. Also, if you have a WordPress Blog, you’ll be able to integrate the two. bbPress is aimed at simplicity and good operations.

    By the way – this is not actually a mess, it’s just a hassle. I could easily go without the titles as most social networking sites get the page title automatically.

    It would just be nice to know where my problem lies so I don’t stumble into it again.

    I know the address to this forum isn’t that great – I’ll be getting a .com domain for it some time next year (hopefully January).

    Enjoy! :)

    Hi

    You need to open the PHP file and edit the settings in there.

    Thanks – works like a charm: http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation

    Is there maybe a way to get the link to that forum?

    Would it maybe be forum_link( $topic->forum_id )? ^^,

    Unfortunately, this plugin was meant to have support for Permalinks – hence the unused Page slug in the bbPages settings – but that never came about.

    I recently had this problem too – so I manually edited my .htaccess file in the bbPress root.

    So, I turned my Rules page from this:

    http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation/bb-page.php?page_id=1

    to

    http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation/rules/

    You need to open your .htaccess file in the bbPress root and add the following for each page, replacing <your-page> with the url you would like:

    RewriteRule ^<your-page>/?$ /bb-page.php?page_id=1 [L]

    @michael888

    You obviously don’t know what BBCode is at all – so let me explain.

    BBCode is an alternative to HTML for people to use in their posts. For example, if they wanted to have bold text, they would put this in their post:

    Text

    You can download BBCode lite for bbPress here: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/

    You then need to save the'bbcode-lite.php file in your my-plugins directory. If you do not have one, you will need to create it. Then go to your admin panel, Plugins, and install BBCode Lite.

    Then, in your posts, you will need to enter a URL like this:

    http://www.example.com

    or, with a title

    My Example Site

    Hope this solves your problem. :)
