Bugs, YAY!

I’m not sure if this had been brought up but the permalinks are wonky.

When the custom structures option is not checked the forum index page uses archive.php and not page-front-forums.php

As far as I could tell, all of the other pages are still working as they should be and using the correct custom page templates.

– And –

Lock post after editing doesn’t appear to be working. With my non-admin dummy users I’m still able to edit posts after the lock time has expired.

– And –

Allow Anonymous Posting doesn’t appear to be working either.

It appears that if either $private or $hidden come back empty, then the errors I was experiencing occur. We’re just going to check if they are empty to fix it.

Is there any way to display the “Freshness” as a date format without having to change it in any of the core files? Maybe something to add into the theme functions to override the current settings?

I’m using Trunk 3132 at the moment and so far it’s working fantastically.

[tooltrainer]

OK here’s a weird one for you… trunk 3127, I’m getting an error that is displaying where one of my sidebar widgets would normally appear, but ONLY if not logged in:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/vanclute/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-functions.php on line 799

Trying to see if it’s something on my end but so far I don’t think it is…

@JJJ

Awesome, passing that on to my designer now. Thanks so much, you rock

Jonathan

P.S.

Updating to latest trunk now, and so far my “can’t post new topics” problem appears to have gone away.

[sarahrbx]

I would like to move from Drupal 6 also. Maybe I have to start to learn all new things for this new CMS.

[John James Jacoby]

@tooltrainer – There are. They are .sticky and .super-sticky respectively. You can do something like tr.type-topic.super-sticky { stuff } too, depending on the strength of the override you’re trying to achieve.

[tooltrainer]

Hey real quick, can anyone tell me if there’s a CSS class associated with stickies & super-stickies? I’d like to color them differently so they stand out. Anyone know?

Thanks!

Anonymous posting is in the bbPress plugin, but not the moderation ability like you need. That would need to be built, and could be done pretty easily by intercepting new replies and switching the status to ‘pending’

@padams – That gives us a feed of all topics, and all replies, but not for both topics and replies together, and not for individual forums and individual topics, like bbPress currently provides. I’ll probably end up including a custom RSS xml template with custom loop parameters in it as a quick fix.

[padams]

looks like the url of the combined feed got mangled (it striped the open and close bracket characters after each post_type param). see the core ticket for the proper syntax for the combined feed.

[padams]

hmmm.

As all bbPress entities are custom posts then these urls work great out of the box:

// feed of forums

http://domain.com/?feed=rss2&post_type=forum

// feed of topics

http://domain.com/?feed=rss2&post_type=topic

// feed of replies

http://domain.com/?feed=rss2&post_type=reply

// combined feed

http://domain.com/?feed=rss2&post_type%5B%5D=topic&post_type%5B%5D=reply

All based on this ticket in core:

@JJJ

How will existing bbpress standalone forum plugins work with the new bbpress plugin? This is very important for my forum needs as there are obviously many helpful bbpress plugins currently available.

Ideas?

[John James Jacoby]

@padams – Originally had talked about doing exactly that, but the problem will be keeping them in alignment with each other when one is trashed, deleted, private, etc…

Ultimately we went with custom post types as forums because of a lack of meta tables to allow for customization of them, keeping accurate topic/reply counts for hierarchical forums, and other odds and ends that taxonomies aren’t equipped to handle.

[padams]

Too bad you can’t piggyback on the category feeds. Maybe assign a category to a forum?

[John James Jacoby]

@padams – Feeds a must, but since we hijack the normal flow of custom post type archives, they aren’t as straight-forward easy as I wish they were. They most likely will not make it into the first round of beta testing, but will make it into the 2.0 release.

[Gautam Gupta]

padams: I think JJJ is thinking of getting them into the alpha or the first major release of the plugin.

[padams]

@gautam: soon as in for 1.0? or a future release. thanks.

[Gautam Gupta]

padams: No, forums are made using custom post types. bbPress will soon introduce its own feeds.

[padams]

Do forums map to WP categories? I’m trying to generate an RSS feed for a single forum and another for all forums. RSS feed for a forum would contain the topics. Just adding feed=rss2 to the url doesn’t seem to work.

Is there any other way to “subscribe” to a forum so that you get notified of new topics created?

thanks all.

I am moving my forum over from a Drupal 6 install to a WordPress 3 install.

Taking a look at this thread, it seems as if the bbpress plug-in is still being tested? Would you recommend this plug-in for a production site yet?

[christopher jon]

What you should do is get a meta box working with pages and posts, there are a bunch of tutorials online to get you started.

Once you have that working it’s just a matter of changing the post type so it’ll show up on the bbpress admin pages.

[miruru]

@JJJ – that’s okay. The shortcode was to be used so that I could create a list of new forum topics that displays the following:

[Topic Title] Posted in [name of forum] on [topic date] by [topic author]

unless the bbPress topics/replies list can be modified to display the above info. I’m currently using the Query Posts plugins to do this as it allows me to display the page the topic is on etc, and when i used [entry-author], it displays the wordpress user (author/name), not the bbpress user (user/name).
