@Jason_JM Yes and it runs the freelance directory.
This install of bbPress is integrated with a rails app and therefore they share cookies. No my doing, was the rails dev that integrated the two apps.
I’ve ported a few plugins and themed bbPress and built from scratch many WordPress plugins, and to be honest I wouldn’t try and port that plugin. There are way to many unknowns to consider when caching and it’s just a lot of work.
Also, I don’t think there are enough positives to warrant the headache inducing long nights that will cause just for the insignificant amount of resources being saved since so many users are going to be logged in. Unless your forum is ranked in the top 100 of all forums on the internet, you’re not getting enough traffic to go through that kind of trouble. You’re better off upgrading your server IMHO.
I have tried that and topic_tags() returns absolutely nothing if used on any page other than topics.php.
I want to list the few tags that each topic has associated with it on the forum.php or front-page.php like how WordPress does with the_tags(), but not have the delete link or tags form. As it is right now I can’t find a function that will just list the topics tags outside of the topics.php, can someone help me please?
The new Freelance Switch bbPress forum is going live in 2 or 3 days and this is literally the last things that I need to do.
I need to list the tags like in WP where each topic has it’s own tags separated out, that code is not going to do that? Thanks though for the help.
Never mind I figured it out.
<?php topic_posts($bb_post->topic_id); ?>
// Custom Topic Starter Avatars
function topic_author_avatar( $size = '48', $default = '', $post_id = 0 ) {
if ( ! bb_get_option('avatars_show') )
return false;
$author_id = get_topic_author();
if ( $link = get_user_link( $author_id ) ) {
echo '<a href="' . attribute_escape( $link ) . '">' . bb_get_avatar( $author_id, $size, $default ) . '</a>';
} else {
echo bb_get_avatar( $author_id, $size, $default );
}
}
I wasn’t aware of the event till just now, thanks for the heads up. I think I just talked my GF in to letting me go alone too.
So it’s only available in 1.0 huh, that sucks cause I think the forum is still using 0.9 something.
The way I’m doing it now is creating a plugin like chrishajer mentioned but it just seems odd to me as a prolific WP user. Unfortunately I’m not sure the forum can be upgraded since the Envato devs had to integrate it with a RoR app and hacked the core. Hopefully they can upgrade it cause the theme I’m working on is crazy complex and I had to add a lot of extra functions to my plugin to make the theme work based on the design. I just think some of the code I wrote is probably included in the 1.0 core.
@dragunoff: I’m still working out the kinks for the new Freelance Switch forum, but when it’s showing correct output on my staging server I’ll definitely share my findings.
Is there a version for the forums page?
Never mind, I got a working function now.
Is there a foreach that I can do on the forums that’s not bb_forums()?
Obviously this is an old post but it didn’t really give any answers and the link is to a PHPBB install.
Can anyone tell me how to add a dropdown to change between forums? The function below lists the forums in a select options list, but I need a way to submit the options to a form that would switch forums. What would the action and method be? I’m running short on time and need to get this working asap so any help would be awesome.
<?php bb_forum_dropdown(); ?>
Has anyone figured this out?
AWESOME!!!!!!! That’s all I can say.
