Hi,

My question is simple. Is it possible to give every created blog inside a WPMU Network its own BBPress forum?

If yes, is there any howto?

Greetings,

Lite

Does this work good, or should I keep looking for a better solution? I want avatars to match on WordPress and BBpress integrated site.

I’ve noticed that depending on the site configuration, many times plugins or template designs will require information about the first poster in a topic or the last poster.

The problem is that bbPress unfortunately (even in 1.1) only caches the post authors that are on the physical page you are on. So it causes two “out of flow” queries (one for user, one for usermeta) for each of those authors (first, last).

This means up to four needless queries are added depending on the topic page number (not first or last is the worst hit).

Even worse there is no direct filter/action on that process so it cannot be affected directly.

However I’ve come up with a workaround using a trick,

by catching the actions before and after the process.

I’ve only tested this on 0.9, but in theory should work in 1.1

if (is_topic && !is_bb_feed()) {

add_action('bb_topic.php_pre_db','usercachefix_load');

add_action('bb_topic.php','usercachefix_unload');

function usercachefix_load() {add_action('get_forum_where','usercachefix');}

function usercachefix_unload() {remove_action('get_forum_where','usercachefix'); global $posts; unset($posts['first'],$posts['last']);}

function usercachefix($x) {global $topic,$posts; $posts['first']->poster_id=$topic->topic_poster; $posts['last']->poster_id=$topic->topic_last_poster; return $x;}

}

Make it into a mini-plugin and give it a try.

You really only need it if you are showing info about the first and/or last poster on every page of the topic.

You should see the query count go down by two to four queries on the page.

Or use bb-benchmark to more closely examine the queries and look for multiple calls to the user-table and usermeta-table.

Howdy. I’m hearing that people have managed to get Facebook Connect to work as an option for users on bbpress… so, I followed these instrucions:

Solution for facebook connect

And it’s the last part that’s confusing me.

“Integrade a fb-connect button on your bbpress site”

What does that mean? What does the code look like and where should it go?

Thanks!

I have a same problem. But for me, the users are registered by WP but at bb they dont have any role so they cant post anything.

Temporary solution could be Role Manager. But this should be eliminated as soon as is possible.

+ another one problem is deleting users. I tried delete user at WP admin. But bbpress still has that user at database. Is something wrong with integration?

So what? I put that milestone in there after plucking it from thin air. It is what it is. At the time, it seemed reasonable with the amount of tickets we had open. Then we added more tickets. And we fixed them. I think any ticket created after 1257 was after I changed the milestone to April 30.

As the trac says:

“Due date is only to force the order of milestones and does not reflect any actual release schedule.”

Some days old post but really optimistic for bbPress.

I don’t need to personally write code much these days because we have so many talented folks involved but I am jumping back in on bbPress and will be hacking around in there.

Ah, I found the culprit. I had converted from another forum software so the topic_slug and forum_slug columns were empty. Found a script here http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/2009/07/03/migration-to-bbpress-fix-topic-slugs/

It didn’t convert my forum slugs but that wouldn’t take long to manually input.

[hpguru]

Yes, but…

Milestone: 1.0.3

3 months late (04/30/10)

> two dozen users that insisted on using “Greg” as their display name and similar avatars?

With normal users in a healthy forum with a sense of community, duplicates will self correct. People will create unique pictures to identify themselves.

With malicious users, that’s a moderation issue and should be an isolated incident in a healthy forum.

In an unhealthy forum you have bigger problems than duplicate profile pictures.

Like I said earlier in the thread, a lot depends on the nature of the forum. If it is a tight knit community, then you really don’t need to compromise the user experience to cater for the edge case you describe.

But in a support forum I could imagine this being more of an issue so I wouldn’t use non-unique display names in that situation.

User-Name-less systems like facebook need to be designed from scratch like that. The WordPress/bbPress system unfortunately is user_login/user_id based.

You could force user_id for the profile stub if that makes you like it better, bbPress will accept either.

BTW in a forum based system, how would you deal with two dozen users that insisted on using “Greg” as their display name and similar avatars?

[calilarincon]

Thank you very much for this script, I’ve been trying to used it, but I get the following error:

SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]



Data too long for column 'topic_poster_name' at row 1 [1406]

Any ideas?

I’m not an expert, but I’m doing my best. Thanks!

I don’t think bozo and Akismet are hooked up at all.

The bozo feature was never particularly well implemented. I was trying to find a post by sambauers where he said as much.

I wrote this 3 years ago:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-or-remove-bozo-function-before-it-kills-bbpress

Regarding a plugin, I’m not sure. Maybe someone else will post about it.

No tickets left!! Woo hoo!!

[Greg]

_ck_, oh, I get it. You aren’t removing the login name and replacing it with the account email, you are just allowing users to log on using their email address.

So during registration users still need to provide a login name, and the path to their profile will always contain that login name.

Hmmm. I’m not sure whether that makes things easier or more complicated for the user.

That is guatam’s creation, you might ask on the plugin page or maybe here:

http://gaut.am/2009/12/bb-cumulus-beta-for-bbpress-released/

Or maybe he’ll see this topic and can help.

You got it right!

Don’t completely follow the question but the admin structure as far as actions and filters is very similar for 1.0 compared to 0.9 but the CSS is a little different.

[zaerl]

Actually BuddyPress is doing the wrong thing. In bbPress:

forum/topic/topic-name/ redirects to forum/topic/topic-name

so there are no duplicated content, in BuddyPress:

forum/topic/topic-name/ and forum/topic/topic-name point to the same content which is a very bad thing.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Building admin panels for themes and plugins are the same for 0.9v?

[_ck_]

lol Ben, that works for 1.x but not 0.9

in 0.9 you need this https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/email-login/

@Greg part of the workaround is to only perform the display name change on functions that do direct output themselves (the functions with echo) the internal functions that return strings should not be changed.

In reality the best way to approach it might be to only apply it on the portions of the topic page and profile page that show the names.

It’s not super simple but it can be done.

I just noticed that the wiki page was deleted for a SECOND time in February 2010 (originally deleted in July 2008)

This time I can’t even find an archive of the 2009 version.

As Nightgunner pointed out, Blanket Fort? No problem. bbPress? problem.

February 8, 2010

Removed

* BbPress (talk) removed. Quality rating was Stub-Class (rev · t). Importance rating was Low-Class (rev · t).

Hello,

Not really sure if this would be the best place to ask, but I wondered why the forum URL dir structure was been changed/removed compared to about all other Automattic products?

Ie. the bbPress URL structure looks like this: “http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/taking-a-look-at-bbpress-09”

whilst the BuddyPress URL structure looks like: “http://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/some-basic-questions/”

Note the last “/”

Best regards,

Cor

$bb->email_login = true;

There you go, instant feature!

[Greg]

That sounds very useful – look forward to seeing it.

I also like the login with email address option. Trade off there is that it becomes harder to switch the email address associated with the account. Probably a good trade though.

_ck_, do you remember how your plugin handled the paths where WP/BBP currently uses the login name? For example, the “_ck_” in…

“https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/_ck_”
