In reply to: Plugin: Plugin browser for bbPress
> update: actually this is not directly your fault, though you are trying to use a bb-admin function that was meant for local file access to do remote file access?
If you check the short “to do” list at the top of the plugin you’ll see that I plan to address that issue in the future. I might just copy and paste the code from that internal function and then hack in my own curl/fopen alternative function.
> If I am not mistaken, you just found a bbpress security loophole.
Explain your concerns, how do you think this would be exploited? If it can be we should patch it up.
> ps. any concerns about eventually 2,000-20,000 bbpress users hammering the svn with so many file downloads to examine all the plugin headers?
36 downloads so far, let’s start worrying at 1,000
In reply to: Plugin: Avatar UploadI have also added the ability to view installed plugins readme.txt files in the Plugin Browser. This should help with plugins like this one that have extra installation instructions.
In reply to: Plugin: Avatar UploadI’ve made a few additions to the plugin which I think will help with a few of these issues that are coming up. They are:
1. Added an admin page for configuration.
2. Moved the actual plugin files to the root of the plugin.
3. Moved all other files except the readme.txt to an “additional-files” folder.
4. Removed the plugin header from the file “avatar-upload.php”, this can now be kept only in the main plugin file (this was the root cause of the activation error that Trent reported).
5. Updated readme.txt to reflect these changes.
Grab it here and review it, I think it is a good first step to easing installation of the plugin, and making it more compatible with the Plugin Browser.
In reply to: Plugin: Avatar UploadI’m pretty sure that is a problem with your version of the Plugin Browser. Versions less than 0.1.5 don’t handle directories within plugins. Upgrade the Plugin Browser to 0.1.5 (you can do this within the Plugin Browser itself without problems), then you should be able to install Avatar Upload.
* EDIT *
Now I get what you mean, you mean it fatally errors when activating in the normal plugin page?
Actually it has to with the way the plugin is laid out. It expects you to shuffle around and edit a few files before activation. The plugin browser will only help you get the files in this case.
In reply to: let’s build a poll plugin!Isn’t this discussion more valuable than a poll? With polls people tend to vote first then read the thread. Maybe you can make the poll itself appear last, after the discussion. My 2 cents on your actual proposal I suppose. I’m not too interested, but good luck with it. If you get stuck, throw a question up in this topic and I’m sure people will help.
In reply to: let’s build a poll plugin!I don’t think there’s any need to be so ernest about adoption rates of bbPress. I get the impression it would be supported by Automattic even if there was only one user.
Sure there is room for improvement, but I don’t think there is a need to emulate every feature on the forum software check list. I’ve never heard anyone on the various bbPress related channels talk about a need for poll features (for example), although I may be wrong. I think if you want to improve bbPress, then you would be better directing your energy at some of the existing bugs and well-known shortcomings (like search).
I’m not trying to stop you building a poll plugin by the way, and perhaps your suggestions regarding the quality of bbPress are well-founded. I just don’t think you are going to get much support from people around here by attempting to whip them into a competitive frenzy against other forum platforms.
In reply to: Plugin: Plugin browser for bbPressThere is a project with much broader scope to implement a full-blown plugin updater on WordPress which is part of the Google Summer of Code.
In reply to: Plugin: Plugin browser for bbPressI’ve updated the plugin to version 0.1.5 which adds support for plugins with sub-directories.
In reply to: let’s build a poll plugin!> bbPress needs some serious options fast if it’s going to hit critical mass and attract additional quality programmers.
What’s the rush?
In reply to: Plugin: Plugin browser for bbPressIn reply to: permalinks with trailing slashYou should ticket this in Trac, we should probably deal with this case better than we do.
In reply to: Plugin: Plugin browser for bbPressPrivate messaging doesn’t show up because there is nothing in the trunk. There are only tags. If the author just copies the latest tagged version to the trunk then it will show up too.
In reply to: Plugin: Plugin browser for bbPressThat’s always going to be a problem. I haven’t looked closely at all plugins, but I do find that a lot of those that require extra fiddling in templates and what-not don’t actually need to work that way. They often just aren’t taking advantage of the various API hooks a lot of the time. Perhaps one like your avatar plugin that has to create folders etc. could do so using a post-install script, maybe even one that is triggered from the plugin’s admin page?
In reply to: Howto List the other forums on the forums pagesYou’ll need to dig into the the index.php file in the root of the code (not a template file). All the prep to retrieve the forums from the database is done there.
In reply to: Plugin: Plugin browser for bbPressMmmmmm…… Choc.O.I.P.
I don’t think there’s much point in trying to align this tool with manually installed plugins. It’s easy enough to remove the manually installed plugins and then re-install using the browser (provided they are in the repository and not hosted elsewhere of course). The re-installed plugin even picks up the old plugin’s settings. I’m managing all my plugins this way now.
In reply to: unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW error in view.phpIn reply to: fix to: RSS XML Parsing ErrorLooks like there is just a little too much white space at the end of the plugin file.
Open the plugin PHP file and go to the bottom and delete all the blank lines after the final closing PHP tag that looks like this… “?>”
Go here:
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/tags
Click on a version to enter that directory, then scroll to the bottom of the file list. There you will find a link to download a Zip Archive of that directory.
There are 150+ changes from jQuery 1.1.2 t0 1.1.3.1
In reply to: Tags not separatingWordPress uses commas to separate tags, so I wouldn’t expect this to change back to spaces for the 1.0 release.
Perhaps mdawaffe can chip in on this one?
In reply to: Tags not separatingHas anybody ticketed the incorrect wording?
In reply to: Plugin: Show Top PostersIt would be nice if “list” plugins like this plugged into the views page. That way we wouldn’t have to alter templates to use them.
In reply to: Pretty Permalinks Not WorkingThe address is valid. Don’t forget the “au” at the end.
I suppose that’s OK.
Sent and sent. Enjoy.
Plugin is already up to 0.1.3 thanks mostly to Trent’s testing.
