One of these?

Super-Search is currently over 20k and only about halfway done in what it needs to do. All the bbPress core needs is a proper way to and/or words and disable partial matching instead of defaulting to just searching for every single fraction of each word.

[Andrew]

There is also a plugin that does this.

I can’t find the plugin link, it was one of fel64’s specials and it isn’t in the repository. It was called ‘page’ and added a > at the end of each topic title.

[chrishajer]

If you click on the profile link (the title under your username) you will get a list of all posts you’ve made and threads you’ve started. It’s not search, but it will all be there. I don’t believe the member name is searched by default (could be completely wrong there and haven’t tested it in a long while.) I think it just shows “recent posts” and “relevant posts” (at least in my old version that’s what happens.) If you click the profile link, you get topics started and recent replies.

[_ck_]

Actually, the best thing to do is completely replace the search facility. That’s what I do in Super Search. bbPress’s search is very weak, so weak that there wasn’t even a link to it on any page in 0.9 (it’s similar to WordPress’s search, which also sucks, it’s the ugly truth no one seems to talk about).

I assume you are using the bb-benchmark plugin to watch those queries happen (if not, you should be).

Stupid question but you DO have the mysql cache turned on? I only ask because on many server configs (like CPANEL) it’s turned off by default. What does your my.cnf look like? (do a cat /etc/my.cnf in your shell)

Try going into phpmyadmin (or command line) and test that first test query against adding AND post_text REGEXP ':<:%test%:>:' to the query like so:

SELECT p.*, 0 AS search_score, MAX(post_time) AS post_time FROM bb_posts AS p JOIN bb_topics as t ON ( t.topic_id = p.topic_id ) WHERE p.post_text LIKE '%test%' AND p.post_text REGEXP ':<:%test%:>:' AND p.post_status = '0' AND t.topic_status = '0' GROUP BY t.topic_id ORDER BY p.post_time DESC LIMIT 5;

I suspect in the end due to your huge db size you are going to need to completely replace the search functions with something like this http://sphinxsearch.com which has a PHP api. Fortunately in bbPress it’s very simple to hook the internal search and bypass it entirely without even template hacks. A quick google shows that a few WordPress plugins have sphinxsearch support so that would be easy to copy over to bbPress. If you find the keyword “sphinxsearch” on this source for example, you can see how it’s done: http://svn.scriblio.net/plugin/trunk/scriblio.php

The error was from a Private Messaging plugin (note: not a private forums plugin).

I have the default Akismet & Bozo plugins installed, and also the “Use Display Name” (which just changes your username to your nicename) and BBPrivate Messaging Plugin (as mentioned above) plugins installed. Removing them does not allow me to see the forums content either.

I just noticed that actually only admins can see the forum content.

You asked:

You didn’t make all your forums categories in the admin, did you?

I’m not sure what you mean, I’m new to BBPress. I converted an old WordPress XDForum plugin to BBPress, so perhaps something happened with permissions there, but even so, any direction as to how to open these up to everyone would be great!

[Clicknathan]

Would anyone know of a way to show the last page of a thread by default instead of the first?

For example, if a thread has 3 pages worth of posts, we want to by default show page #3 rather than #1.

Any ideas? Thanks!

[nekita]

Seems as if I have the same problem as doyle640. Integrated the Alpha with WP 2.6.2 and after adding “require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);” to bb-config.php I can’t access the bbP Admin section anymore. the “Reply” and “New Topic” area is gone as well, Profile can’t be edited etc. The title under my Admin name (“Key Master” by default) will also change to Invalid.

The loading error for the admin section is indeed a 500 error. At first I figured it might be related to some class conflicts within the WP and bbP CSS structure but fiddling with that didn’t help either.

Now it seems more likely that the User Account looses all of it’s user privileges in bbP once it’s integrated with WP for some reason.

[_ck_]

I’m curious about this issue as performance problems always intrigue me. You must be using 0.9 as 1.0 has an index on stickies by default.

As far as fulltext search there is a trick I use because of the multiple issues with fulltext (not only speed but fulltext can’t do words less than 4 characters until you customize and rebuild mysql). The trick is to use regex and do a two pass query where you first exclude all the posts without the words and then allow mysql to do a regular scan of the remaining posts.

Query example from my Super-Search plugin:

WHERE post_text  LIKE '%".$term."%'" AND post_text  REGEXP ':<:".$term.":>:[^']' "

Compare the performance of that against a fulltext search that uses "MATCH post_text AGAINST $term" I don’t have enough data to do a huge benchmark but some simple tests with the cache off shows 0.4 seconds for the trick and 0.9 for the fulltext.

The only downside to the trick is you cannot do partial word searches that way. ie. $term="cat" will only return posts with the exact word “cat” and not “cats” or “category”. But it should be way faster.

Searching a huge number of posts is a non-trivial problem. It’s been known to crush other forums like vbulletin which has fancy code to prevent users from searching too often/too quickly and even disable search temporarily on high server load. Sites like Wikipedia have to go through several technically complex tricks to keep the search fast on that much data.

Many large sites end up using sphinxsearch to replace fulltext search. You could interface it to bbPress via their PHP api.

You can read more workarounds on the mysql fulltext search page (with far more knowledgeable people than me) http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/fulltext-search.html

Hi

I have WP 2.6 installed and the latest svn version (updated yesterday) of bbPress. The two are integrated with each other. I had a look at the users and roles in WP and noted that bbPress had changed all the roles to the bbPress role types. The WP roles are now all gone. The problem is that no one of my users can login, only the first admin user which I created when installed WP and bbPress. If I change another user from member to admin he cannot login.

Can I change back the roles to the default WP roles or do you have any clue what have happened?

[kannued]

I didn’t change the database table prefix from the default. This is the only table in the new database. The database says ‘bb_’, and bb.config.php says ‘bb_’. My keymaster shows up in ‘bb_users’. So if the keymaster is there, then the table prefix is not the problem. It is something else.

[jpope]

So I have confirmed that this happens even if I set both bbpress and wordpress to the default themes, so it is definitely not something in the themes I’ve customized.

I really wish I could find the code where wp is determining the post ID of the home/front page as I suspect that is the best place to start trying to tackle this.

[meitershaker]

“You could do it with two browser tabs or windows.”

lol, euh yes, but not very user-friendly i think

“Why are you looking to see other posts while editing another (just curious)? “

because for me, edit a post for add or complete post, it’s more interesting to have always the entire thread. And for political forum, where the post are many times big, it’s necessary to have entire thread..

so, in phpbb by default for example, it’s like that…

i have no idea how to do it with a plugin, and i ask you for a little help :p

[chrishajer]

There is no author rank in the default installation. Are you talking about their title (like Member or Administrator)?

If so, you would need to modify the template file for each place where the title appears (maybe it’s only on the topic pages, for each post?) If so, just remove it from the post.php file in your template directory:

Remove this line:

<small><?php post_author_title(); ?></small>

That removes the author title from under the author’s name. If that’s not what you mean, then you have something installed that I do not. I think there is a post rating plugin and an author reputation (karma) plugin: maybe one of those is showing the rank you’re talking about.

[_ck_]

I probably made a bad assumption that it was not installed, though it definitely doesn’t come by default on a cpanel setup so that’s a bit unusual. Strange someone would put eaccelerator on there but not enable the mysql cache.

You can look at your phpinfo() to find out if eAccelerator is really installed and active.

That eaccelerator compress and compression level is just a waste of cpu time. I’d either set

eaccelerator.compress="0"

or

eaccelerator.compress_level="1"

By the way, the php configuration is located in

/usr/local/lib/php.ini

and the eAccelerator options are at the very bottom of the file if you ever have to manually edit them.

Database error: []

SELECT * FROM bb_online WHERE user_id = LIMIT 1

Caller: online_logout

The user_id is empty in this case which causes the error.

The question is why it’s empty.

This could be a cookie problem, this could be an alpha bug.

If you have no plugins running and switching to the default template does not make the error go away, it’s a bug and should be reported on TRAC (along with your configuration if possible, server type, PHP, etc)

[lstelie]

Hello,

I wrote this for my own use, in case it could be of some use for someone, here it is :

http://pastebin.com/f35e5dcbe

This allow to put some html code in header (or example metatags) and footer (for example counter code)

There is no admin part for two reasons :

1) I’m learnig how it works

2) I’m not sure it would be a great idea to have a DB request for a code that never change

So for instance you’ll have to edit manually the plugin file

Why use a plug in instead of a direct ad in the template ? because for alpha release the default template (my own is based on kakumei) sometimes change, so keeping the personal code updated each time can be tedious.

Untested. auto-closes a topic on-the-fly when someone visits it and it’s last post is 90 days old (adjustable)

add_action('bb_head','auto_close_topic');

function auto_close_topic() {

global $topic;

if (is_topic() && $topic->topic_open===1) {

$old=time()-3600*24*90; // 90 days default

if (strtotime($topic->topic_time)<$old) {

bb_close_topic($topic->topic_id);

$topic->topic_open=0;  // just in case the cache doesn't clear

}

}

}

[meitershaker]

no i have a default install of bbpress 1.0 trunk. and yes, the javascript is not loaded, why?

[Sonika]

Detective, thanks a lot!!!

It solved my problem ( wp 2.5.1, bbpress 0.9.0.2)

Bo Fiddlesticks, you should save code in set-default-role.php file, put it in bb-plugins and activate

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: bbpress wpmu default role

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/yet-another-integration-bug-no-role-set-on-registration?replies=5

Description: Sets a default WPMU role for all new bbpress users.

Author: Detective

Author URI: http://www.ryuuko.cl/

*/



function wpbb_add_user_role_rk($user_id) {

$user = new WP_User($user_id);

$user->set_role(get_option('default_role'));

}

add_action( 'bb_new_user', 'wpbb_add_user_role_rk');

?>

[Jens Wedin]

Here is a function list for the v1.0 alpha one. As the developers do not add any documentation I found this on the net. You can you this by your own if you have an older or newer version of bbPress by doing this command in the terminal (linux or mac):

grep -oe ^function.*) bb-includes/template-functions.php | sort > functions.txt

This idea is Tims (http://timjoh.com), I used updated his idea.

Hello,

I have a little CSS problem

I’m integrating BBpress with my weblog that uses Revolution blog theme.

The url is http://luc.saint-elie.com/bbpress

Its a WP 2.6 install with BBpress 1.0 alpha

BBPress theme is based on the default kakumei

I fail to put the login div right above BBPress breadcrumb menu (right under my header)

If anyone with CSS knowledge (that I don’t have) has a little idea, I would be very happy

Thanks in advance

Luc

[_ck_]

leoleoleo (and everyone) put this line into bb-config.php (before the “stop editing” part)

$bb->load_options = true;

That should slice at least 100ms off that time and reduce the queries by half. I still don’t understand why it’s not the bbPress default.

“Forum is category” is not needed under bbPress 1.0 which does category forums internally.

Also, the bb-gzip plugin is only necessary if your server does not already compress pages, which is rare these days, so make sure you are not duplicating the effort.

Some of my plugins are still not optimized for 1.0 so they might be slower or cause more queries than under 0.9

[Detective]

I’m working on a few enhancements over PM Extended, but i’m not considering compatibility with the old plugin. I don’t know why it doesn’t work with previous messages, as i never touched the database structure of the plugin (just made a few tweaks).

[citizenkeith]

Nightgunner… if you try remaking the plugin, please consider a way for a forum to keep messages from the old version. We’ve been using the PM plugin for over a year, and it would be nice to keep our old PMs.
