I just shifted to new webhost recently and found that mybbpress forum is not working as it used to work before, I had also upgraded wordpress to 3.1. The bbpress forum version was 1…

I think something went wrong with the transfer to the new webhost

My bbpress forum and wordpress blog was integrated..

My wp blog – http://vlovers.com

My bbpress forum – http://vlovers.com/forum

Please see my error and hint me in required direction..

Thank you!

Hello again.

Good news. I realised (by reading properly) that I only had to change one thing in this line.

if (!defined('POST_NUMBER_MODERATION')) define('POST_NUMBER_MODERATION', 5);

From define('POST_NUMBER_MODERATION', 5) to define('POST_NUMBER_MODERATION', 1).

And now it does exactly what I want. Let me resume it all.

An user signs up for the first time on my forum. These two plugins take action: Yu-Jie Lin’s Enhanced Registration to guard me from uninterested users, giving them a specific deadline to login; and New User Notification Email to notify me that a new user has signed up.

After that, 3 other plugins come in. First, Moderate new members’ first posts, notifies me that a new user has made his first post. Depending on the type of the post (spam/non-spam), Spam Notification will take action, and let me know what’s happening and so I can take action myself. At the user’s second post and from there onwards, xili New Post Notification (xnpn) steps in, and notifies me whenever a new post is made, but is no longer moderated, and so the users post freely.

These 5 plugins are brilliant, and if someone was to implement them all in bbPress Moderation Suite, as selectable modules, that would truly become a must-have plugin.

Anyway, another thank you to the developers and thank you Kevin as well.

Best regards,

Bob

Example:

Let’s say front-page.php lists 3 categories

Fruits

Veggies

Meats

If you were to click on Fruits; I’d like the next page to show the subforums of that parent excluding veggies, & meats forums. Any comments appreciated.

Basically, I want categories with sub-forums but in a format/structure that you would find in phpbb where subforums are cleanly kept on the next page. Why? Because showing everything in one location can get a bit messy. Especially with subforums.

I have searched through the bbpress forum for this and was able to get the following to work related to the front-page.php portion. Now I just need to get the 2nd page to show the children of the category. Currently it isn’t doing that.

*****front-page.php which works in only displaying the categories****************

<?php foreach( $forums as $forum ) : if( !$forum->forum_parent ) { ?>

<tr<?php alt_class(‘forum’); ?>>

<td>“><?php forum_name(); ?> <small><?php forum_description(); ?></small></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php } endforeach; ?>

---

Now I would like the child accounts to show up in forum.php

Any suggestions? Or where I could look? Once you click on the parent forum it just takes you to that category forum.php page, with no children. i need the children to show up but only for that parent.

*****forum.php which I need to show the children*********************

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

<?php if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>

<?php login_form(); ?>

<div id=”main”>

<div id=”forums”>

<h3 class=”bbcrumb”>“><?php bb_option(‘name’); ?> » <?php forum_name(); ?></h3>

<?php if ( $topics || $stickies ) : ?>

<table id=”latest”>

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘Topic’); ?> — <?php new_topic(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Last Poster’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Freshness’); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php if ( $stickies ) : foreach ( $stickies as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php _e(‘Sticky:’); ?> <big>“><?php topic_title(); ?></big></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td>“><?php topic_title(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

</table>

<p>“><?php _e(‘RSS feed for this forum’); ?></p>

<div class=”nav”>

<?php forum_pages(); ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php post_form(); ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

</div>

So what happe ned to this project? Is it still going on? Seems the links are dead, and there has been no real response for over a month. Wouldn;t mind seeing the TwentyTen theme for bbPress before I do my own today.

[pastorbobsforum]

Hello Kevin.

“I thought you wanted notification of a first post (or a new topic) and not every reply”. That is exactly what I want to achieve with this plugin. It is not you who has caused the confusion, but me, due to my inability to explain myself.

Again, you have identified precisely how I want it to work.

“

1) New post

2) Check and make spam

3) A plugin Email you if first time poster.”

These are the actions for Moderate new members’ first posts:

add_action('bb_new_post', 'mod_notification_new_post');



add_action('extra_profile_info', 'mod_notification_profile');



add_action('profile_edited', 'mod_notification_profile_edit');

And this for xili New Post Notification (xnpn):

add_action('bb_new_post', 'admin_notification_new_post');

I intend to leave xili’s plugin always activated, so my designated email address will receive all post notifications.

Now, using the moderator’s plugin, the admin_email should receive only the first post notification.

So, the changes should look like this?

add_action('bb_new_post', 'mod_notification_new_post', 7);. This is the action that marks a post as spam and sends the email to the admin. Is the other email address going to receive the same email?

But I don’t understand how is a second post from that same user, going to activate the other plugin and send an email only to the second email address and not the first.

add_action('bb_new_post', 'admin_notification_new_post', 9);

Have you, by any chance, tried the two plugins?

Anyway, I cannot try any of these settings at the moment, since I have to deal somehow with an unexpected 403 error.

Oh, and the custom plugin sounds like a very nice idea, but I’m afraid that it is something way beyond my abilities.

Thank you.

Bob

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘DateTimeZone::__construct() [datetimezone.–construct]: Unknown or bad timezone (UTC-7)’ in /home/neosmcn1/public_html/hsti/forum/bb-admin/options-general.php:180 Stack trace: #0 /home/neosmcn1/public_html/hsti/forum/bb-admin/options-general.php(180): DateTimeZone->__construct(‘UTC-7’) #1 {main} thrown in /home/neosmcn1/public_html/hsti/forum/bb-admin/options-general.php on line 180

---

Here’s a random question, does BBPress support timezone differences?

I see the option in the options-general.php in bb-admin, but, I’m beginning to wonder if it’s implemented yet. Doesn’t’ appear to be, yet. As I can change the time-zone willy-nilly, and the times listed below are not affected. (IE, I’m GMT-7, so I have selected Edmonton as the closets city to me. At the time of writing, it is 12:43p here, and my forum says it’s 6:43p. Mind you, it ALSO says that UTC ALSO is 6:43p. … whut??)

Moreover, the options drop-down seems to be populating false timezones toward the end, the UTCxxxx portions. UTC itself is fine under ETC, but under the “Manual offsets” there are a set of UTC-7, UTC+7, UTC-1, etc. However, in PHP, DateTimeZone does not recognize the UTC-xx or UTC+xx values. They are incorrect. Shouldn’t they be GMT-xxx or GMT+xxx?

I’ve tried looking in the code for some answers, (bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php and bb-admin/options-general.php ) but neither of them seem to be shedding any light…

Please advise about the web addresses of the best freee bbpress theme that integrated seamlessly with wordpress theme

many thanks

Hello Kevin.

Thanks again for your intervention.

So, instead of post_status = 0 I should use post_position=1?

But then how is it going to be handled by askimet after that? Because I read here that 0,1 and 2 are statuses that akismet sets.

Or is this another solution to my first post moderation?

I am sorry that I cannot follow. I wish I would be quicker.

Regards,

Bob

[pastorbobsforum]

Hello.

I want to start by thanking the following developers: _ck_, Nightgunner5, Yu-Jie Lin, Olaf Lederer and michelwppi; for their time and effort in bringing about some very useful plugins.

I have a few comments of my own, and in some cases, very important questions as well.

Even though I have very few genuine users on my forum – four to be more precise, I have decided to (try to) offer as good of a service as I can. I have had a couple of spam posts (5.88%), which Akismet handled impeccably so far.

Also, in the last few days I have had about 20-25 new users that only registered, and considering some of their email addresses, have no other intention but to spam. In this case, another useful plugin came to my rescue, Enhanced Registration, which appears to be doing the perfect job. In conjunction with this plugin, I am using New User Notification Email, so I am always notified whenever a new user registers and if in X hours he/she doesn’t login, then their username is removed and my database kept clean. A very good combination in my opinion.

Further on, a common plugin for moderation that I am also using is bbPress Moderation Suite, and I am sure that it would prove its worth when people will be more interested in what I have to say on my forum. Anyway, I think it’s missing a very useful feature, provided (luckily enough) by Moderate new members’ first posts. Now, I have no doubt that this last plugin is working fine with some people, but not with me. What I wanted was to be notified once at an email address of my own choice (other than admin_email), whenever a new member made his first post (or after two). After that, he/she would post unhindered.

So, I (think that I) have identified the section in the plugin that needs attention, where the post count is made:

if(!is_moderator($bb_current_user->ID)) {

$sql = "

SELECT COUNT(*)

FROM $bbdb->posts

WHERE poster_id = $bb_current_user->ID AND post_status = 0

";

$userpostcount = intval($bbdb->get_var($sql));

}

And where they are marked for moderation (as spam):

if($userpostcount <= POST_NUMBER_MODERATION) {

$sql2 = "

UPDATE $bbdb->posts

SET post_status = 2

WHERE poster_id = $bb_current_user->ID

";

$markedasspam = $bbdb->get_results($sql2);

}

Now, I wouldn’t know what or where to edit in order to have it do what I want, and that is why I would appreciate it if someone who does know it would assist me. No matter how many times my dummy user called “testing” makes a post, I always get a notification, at the default email address.

I only want to be notified of the first post because I am using xili New Post Notification (xnpn) for the rest of them, at a different email address. What I like about this plugin is that it gives me the possibility to assign an email address of my own choice. It’s true that I would get an email twice when an user would post for the first time (2 plugins), but I can live with that, since they are at different email addresses (the default and my choice).

Thank you,

Bob

I saw Photosmash… nice integration with a WP blog… but how can it be compatible with a community (bbpress forum) ?

Regarding Photosmash questions please consider their community

What is the difference between WP + Buddypress -versus- WP + bbpress ??

In what sense you are asking for??

Generally;

WP + Buddypress

Well Buddypress is all about Social Networking. You can Build a social network for your company, school, sports team or niche community all based on the power and flexibility of WordPress. Its a combination of WPMU and BuddPress plugin. But Now you can do it with WPMS.

WP + bbPress

with this you can create a beautiful website or blog based on WP CMS along this community forums for discussion with bbPress.

WP ( multi-site) + BuddyPress = Social networking site ( like, facebook, hi5, orcut orkut etc.

WP + bbPress = Beautiful website or blog + Community forums.

Thanks,

P.

[dorae_monty]

I use wordpress theme on bluehost domain. I am not sure where I should upload the bbpress folder into. I would like the forum to be one of the pages of the website.

Thank you in advance!

[extremejacob]

I’m not using the same theme, but my theme came with a bunch of place holders for links e.g. “Link A”, “Link B”, … inside the different theme files (in the theme folder) which I could edit manually. That made it easy to find where to fix it.

Look in your theme folder for header.php, sidebar.php, footer.php or similar. Put the link code (a href .. ) in there where appropriate. If you don’t have place holders, you have more work to do.

[kai920]

OK, it most certainly seems Nicer Permalinks is causing issues with my search but why? I tried moving bbpress to /forums instead of /forum and the same 500 error occurs when searching.

I think there must be happy users of Nicer Permalinks whose search functions properly…?

[college beauty]

Unless you have like a tech blog, very few people know how/will bother getting a gravatar. I’d say 90% of people that register upload an avatar now.

[college beauty]

Yah, I know that. I eventually used the WordPress custom avatar plugin and updated my bbpress theme to call that function from WordPress side of things.

[beles]

You guessed right! A newbe:-) I figured out how to have a link from WP to bb. But not the other way round. Help. Using the Kakumei 1.0 theme.

[Rami Yushuvaev]

how can i upload hebrew translations to

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/he_IL/

?

[chrishajer]

Trunk is very stable. If you can install by subversion, that will be best because you will get the required backpress. If you grab the trunk from trac.bbpress.org you won’t get backpress (or Akismet I think.)

Can you install via svn in a shell? If not, I can package up the trunk release and make it available for download for you.

[ph23man]

Yep, that’s probably it. Thanks for pointing this out! At least now I know why it’s happening.

That IS a pretty serious bug, but there is no public, stable release of bbpress that contains this fix. Latest version is 1.02 and it’s affected by this bug.

How safe is it to run the trunk version on a production site with existing 1.x plugins? You guys seem very close to having a stable release – milestone 1.03 has no open tickets and 1.1 only has 3.

[chrishajer]

There was a serious bug in earlier version of bbPress:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1150

If you delete a topic without any posts, you UNDELETE all posts, even posts on other topics.

Maybe a moderator did that, deleted a topic without posts? I think it’s probably something related to moderation.

It’s fixed in the latest trunk release.

[ph23man]

I’ve had this very odd issue suddenly crop up. All deleted posts on my forum have automatically become undeleted. Basically the post_status field in the bb_posts table is getting reset to 0 for all posts.

I’m running bbpress 1.02 that’s deep integrated with WP Multisite 3.0.1 (with Buddpress 1.2.5.2). It’s deep integrated, but I run bbpress by itself, NOT as a component of Buddypress (in the groups component). The site’s been running for a year and I’ve never experienced this issue until now.

Is there any code in bbpress that could cause something like this? Reseting all posts?

My web host recently upgraded PHP from 5.2.13 to 5.2.14 very recently, could there be some kind of incompatibility?

Another side-effect of this is that it throws off paging on topics and cuts off newer posts in the topic. The number of pages shown for each post stays the same even though deleted posts are visible again so this essentially pushes newer posts back. Doing a recount doesn’t fix this.

I’m having a hard time finding the cause although I somehow reproduced the problem. I had thought a moderator had restored deleted posts so I was going back deleting some posts that had been undeleted. When I was all done, I did a full recount. A few minutes later I found that all the posts that I had just re-deleted were restored again! I tried deleting some more posts and doing some recounts haven’t been able to reproduce the problem again.

I’m running the following plugins:

– Ajaxed Quote 1.2

– Allow Images 0.8

– BBcode Lite 1.0.3

– bbPress Moderation Suite 0.1-rc2

– bbPress signatures 0.2.0

– bbPress Smilies 0.0.8

– bb Topic Views 1.6.4

– BBVideo 0.24

– BuddyBar in bbPress 1.0.4

– Forum Last Poster 0.0.5

– Hidden Forums 0.0.9

– Post Count Plus 1.1.11

I’ve been running these plugins for a long time. The most recent one was bbpress Moderation Suite but I tested it pretty extensively on a development site (mirror) without issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

[chrishajer]

I think _ck_’s plugin “My Views” can do this:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/my-views/

You can see it in action here:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/

Works only up until 0.9 though. Not sure if something similar exists for 1.0.
