I’ve been working on this for a few weeks and its finally complete. There are still a few small bugs left and I’m sure I’ll find more, but I have launched the forum in its present state.
I’m using a few of _ck_’s pluggins. “Instant Password” and “Human Test”
I made quite a few modifications to the core to support what you might call “Virtual Forums” for lack of a better term.
My site lists apartments, I have pages for around 26,000 cities in the U.S. I wanted to have forum content on each page but didn’t want to create 26,000 forums for a few obvious reasons. The main being that probably 99% of the forums would never get any content.
My solution. I created 2 generic forums and 51 state forums. On each one of my apartment city pages I integrated the forum content from the state forum in which the city resides. For example, the Boston, MA apartment page would show content from the Massachusetts forum.
The trick is that if someone creates a topic from the Boston, MA apartment page, the topic is inserted into the bbPress DB with a new column that contains the latitude and longitude of Boston,MA.
If someone creates a topic from the Newton, MA (10 miles from Boston, MA) apartment page. The topic is inserted in the bbPress DB with the latitude and longitude of Newton, MA.
What this allows me to do is show forum content from any City in the U.S. with the forum topics sorted by distance (and secondarily by date) from the City the user is currently viewing.
To show you an example. (Scroll down under the map to view the forum content on the right hand side)
Each forum topic has the City and State that the user posted from prefixed to the actual forum topic.
As you can see the forum posts change order based on what city you view. This is not that useful without many forum posts, but once the forum starts to fill up it will appear that each city page contains a “Virtual” forum based on that city and the cities that are nearest to it.
Hopefully this will not only allow me to engage a much larger audience as most of the forum topics will be relevant to the page they are viewing.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or comment. This is very much still a work and progress and can definitely be improved. The #1 thing I’m not happy with is the location of the city forums. I’m working on a redesign that would move the forums, or at least a link to the forums, up near the top of the page.
You can also view the regular apartment forum which has a modified very of the default template.
I keep thinking back on this, and I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. I’m not speaking to the HTML/Code side of it, but the concept side. The code side, yeah, some function I would consider default is missing (Unread, maybe Allow Images)
But what’s the difference between a Forum and a Blog?
A blog is a journal. Few people make new topics, many people reply. A forum is … a forum. Many people make new topics, many people reply.
If you feel the code of a Blog is better suited to how you want to run your forum, cool. You want to use the highly structured IPB or phpBB? Have at
I picked bbPress not because of the WP integration (I could care less, really) but because it gave me more options than just Category -> Forum -> Topic -> Posts, and because it’s small and lacks a lot of those fancy options.Example? I don’t use categories at all. Don’t need ’em. I have three ‘fora’ for high level organization. I went off the same general idea I use on my Blog. Three categories, a ton of tags.
1) About the site topic (screwdriver.com is about screwdrivers, talk about them)
2) About the Website (the code behind the site, suggestions, ideas, etc)
3) Everything else (screwdrivers are nice, but I have this hammer…)
Three big, broad categories/fora whatever. The tags I sort of let explode. And even then, I’m torn between structure and free form. I want a little structure (so you don’t get tags like ‘hammer’ and ‘hammers’ which really are the same thing), but I also want freedom.
So function. If you can get all that in a blog, have at
Many people do and we call ’em LiveJournal Communities 
Okay this one is testing working.
For anyone else that wants to use this, you have to replace the domain name by hand. It’s hardcoded for speed, sorry.
All other target=”_blank” plugins should be uninstalled. Any existing links with target=”_blank” will be left in place for performance since target is not added by bbPress by default.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Target Nofollow External Only
Description: append target="_blank" and rel="nofollow" only on external links
Plugin URI:
Author: _ck_
Version: 0.0.1
*/
add_filter('post_text', 'target_nofollow_external_only',999); // unfortunately we have to do this on every page load and not in pre_post
function target_nofollow_external_only( $text ) {
$domain="travel-writers-exchange.com"; // domain to exclude from target and nofollow
$text = preg_replace('|<a (.*)rel=['"]nofollow['"](.+)?>|iU','<a $1$2>', $text); // strip ALL nofollow
$text = preg_replace('|<a (?
[^>]+http
//))(?!([^>]+'.$domain.'))(.+)>|iU', '<a $3 rel="nofollow" target="_blank">', $text); // add back in when needed
return $text;
}
?>I’m not happy about the performance of this technique because it has to be done in post_text for every time a page is displayed, but there’s no other easy way around bbPress/WordPress’s unfortunate use of make_clickable with hardcoded “nofollow” in post_text.
Well we could cheat and make the plugin skip links that have your domain name or no
http://in it.function bb_target_blank( $text ) {
$text = preg_replace('|<a (?=http//)(?!travel-writers-exchange.com)(.+?)>|i', '<a $3 rel="nofollow" target="_blank">', $text);
return $text;
}This is untested.
It’s a fancy regex feature called negative lookahead.
Try it and see what happens.
Doing nofollow for only externals is essentially the same thing, I’ve added it to the replacement above.Make sure you have no additional tweaks for nofollow. I don’t think it’s on by default? If so, try
remove_filter('post_text', 'bb_rel_nofollow');
remove_filter('pre_post', 'bb_rel_nofollow');I have bbPress 0.9.0.2 fully integrated with WP 2.5.1 using shared DB and tables. Everything seems to be working fine, except that when users register on bbPress they are shown as having “no role for this blog” on the WP side.
Role mapping defined in bbPress is: WP-Administrator==bb-Administrator, WP-Editor==bb-Moderator, WP-Author==bb-Member, WP-Contributor==bb-Member, WP-Subscriber==bb-Member.
I was expecting somemone who signs up to bbPress (with the default Member role) to be given Subscriber status in WP. I can see that there is an ambiguity as to which WP role should be chosen for a bbPress Member, but I guessed the one with lowest privilege, i.e. Subscriber, would apply.
I just installed this plugin http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/ that automatically adds new posts to an author’s favorites. However, in order for the post’s author to receive a notification email for a new post he/she must also turn on email notifications in the admin area.
My question: is there a way to change the code to have these email notifications turned on by default?
