    In reply to: WordPress 2.7 options

    Are the login functions any different in 2.7 from 2.6? I just wrote in the WP + bbPress integration forum about having successfully integrated WP 2.6 and bbPress 0.9 logins by just overriding all the WP pluggable cookie functions via a plugin with code copied right from WP 2.5’s pluggable.php file. I was thinking I could just do the same for 2.7…

    I followed some of these instructions and completely integrated WP 2.6.2 and bbPress 0.9 logins on my site today (BayAnime.com). I’d already had 2.6 up and running when I installed bbPress and didn’t want to roll back (I really need to roll forward at some point), so I just copied and pasted all the old WP 2.5 cookie functions from pluggable.php into a separate plugin file for my 2.6 install, set all the paths and keys, and it’s working well. I expect you can just do the same with WP 2.7 if you want to integrate it with bbPress 0.9. Anyway just wanted to report that it IS possible to get 2.6 (and up probably) working with bbPress 0.9 without too much more pain. If anyone’s interested in the plugin file that has the WP 2.5 functions you need, just let me know!

    Gaaah! The bbshowcase.org site is seriously screwed up. It loops to demo.bbshowcase.org, prompts for password, and I can’t seem to get past that. Had to shut down firefox.

    _ck_ yer site puked!

    I really like the theme and would possibly like to use it for a project, but it seems that bbshowcase.org has been taken down. Is there somewhere else I can download it?

    I know these have been done before, but I have released 3 blank bbPress themes that match my blank WordPress themes.

    You can download them here.

    I’ve also taken a long break from bbPress theme development. I’m getting back into it, so expect more themes for bbPress soon.

    In reply to: List all Tags?

    Probably. Looking at this page for an example…

    <div id="othertags">
    Tags:
    <ul id="yourtaglist">
    <li id="tag-87_349081"><a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/tag" rel="tag">tag</a> </li>
    </ul>
    </div>

    349081 is the user ID of whomever made the tag

    tag-87 is the tag ID of the tag (which in this case is ‘tag’)

    Now you can go to https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/349081 and easily see who that is so you can probably use get_username(349081) or something to get the name for a mouse over. I don’t know of a way to parse the tag ID number, though.

    Getting slashes before quotes/apostrophes in bbPress 1.0-alpha-6 integrated with WP.

    What does that mean? /’ doesn’t work or …?

    #72082

    I doubt the post is being “mulled over” though, as it’s been deleted and not closed. I know this because i went to fix a typo less than 2 minutes after posting (there’s a typo in the firs paragraph) and it was closed. So who every closed it, did so without reading the post. It was deleted not long after.

    As a fellow bbAdmin, I’m sure you know that a deleted post remains in the DB and can be read from the admin console. :) https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-help-us-help-bbpress?view=all will work for an admin/mod/key master etc.

    i would like to reiterate that if people still refer to this as an open-source project and us contributors as a community, then we have to accept that there will be voices out there that don’t 100% agree with us on everything. Deleting posts that detail such opinions only makes the consensus of a view point insular and narrow.

    I don’t feel the same, which is not to say I disagree with the sentiment. I can see how it could be viewed that way, but that isn’t how I see it. Nuff said, we can chat semantics of open-source ethics elsewhere!

    Also to your three questions: No one can answer # 1. Ever. The ‘Right’ direction for you is different than for me and for _ck_ and for everyone else. ‘Right direction’ is way too subjective. And as a developer, I hate when people ask me ‘Would it be easier to start over?’ Maybe. But I can’t tell you how long it’d take to reinvent the wheel, and I’m sure that I’d have problems that other people have already solved. It’s a Catch-22 to the extreme. :/

    I’d ask this:

    1) Is bbPress moving?

    2) Are you (developers) satisfied with the direction it’s moving in?

    3) Are you (users) satisfied with the product, as it is? Does it live up to the goals, as expressed by the development team?

    If # 1 is a no, then you leave the project or fork it.

    If # 2 is a no, then you scrap and restart (or fork it).

    If # 3 is a no, bear in mind I do not mean ‘Yeah, but I want built in smilies!’ That’s not a design goal. That’s a wishlist. Design goals are things like WP/BB integration (stated as a goal by the devs). But if it is, indeed, a no, then you really are left with the same choices. Leave or fork.

    I think I’m just really keen on saying fork today *halo*

    Getting slashes before quotes/apostrophes in bbPress 1.0-alpha-6 integrated with WP.

    Have searched forum for solution, but most seem to be from 2 years ago (what can be found anyway). The core file that needs to be edited (bb-includes/template-functions.php) in those instructions is no longer called that (yes, i know which one it has become), but the code also looks markedly different.

    While I have *some* PHP knowledge and can follow most step-by-step stuff, I’m starting out with a different syntax than the instructions, which makes me a little nervous.

    Here’s the code I think I may need to change:

    ‘function get_post_text( $post_id = 0 ) {

    $bb_post = bb_get_post( get_post_id( $post_id ) );

    return apply_filters( ‘get_post_text’, $bb_post->post_text, $bb_post->post_id );’

    and then what about forum titles?

    Is there an easier way to do this now, or do the core files still have to be edited?

    Hi Ipstenu,

    Once again you are spot on mate.

    I’m not in anyway suggesting that the mods/owners don’t have the right to close / delete a forum post, in fact i respect their right to do so. But i also think if someone’s taken the time to write a constructive post then there should be a common decency to at least tell them why it’s been closed and then deleted within 5 minutes of it being posted. Respect kinda has to go both ways.

    I doubt the post is being “mulled over” though, as it’s been deleted and not closed. I know this because i went to fix a typo less than 2 minutes after posting (there’s a typo in the firs paragraph) and it was closed. So who every closed it, did so without reading the post. It was deleted not long after.

    I’m not going to flog a dead horse, or push a personal agenda; the mods have a right to do what they want – but i would like to reiterate that if people still refer to this as an open-source project and us contributors as a community, then we have to accept that there will be voices out there that don’t 100% agree with us on everything. Deleting posts that detail such opinions only makes the consensus of a view point insular and narrow.

    BBpress has amazing potential, I hope it succeeds, i want to help make it succeed.

    If _ck_ isn’t updating her plugins for any of the alpha or beta releases, then we’re effectively given a free-er reign here to not worry about backward compatibility (as lets be honest, _ck_’s plugins are freaking’ awesome); then surely now is the time to ask the hard questions.

    I am not, in any way shape or form, suggesting a complete rewrite or anything like that. But if we put our BA or PM heads on and ask ourselves:

    1) Is BBpress moving in the right direction?

    2) Is the legacy code from before Sam took ownership causing issues?

    3) If we had a clean slate and unlimited time, what would be fix?

    Now the answers may be 1) Yes, 2) No, 3) nothing it’s all working fine. And if they are that’s cool, but sometimes there is a big difference between am end-user view, a developer view, owner view and a Project Manager view. Even if everyone is in complete agreement (unlikely in any community), the right and ability to question can only help but guide the project and give reassurance to its contributors.

    It might also end all of these timeline/compatibility/development/plug-in questions we’re getting (and going to get more) – thus making the lives of the mods alot easier.

    BBpress has amazing potential, I hope it succeeds, i want to help make it succeed.

    I’m of divided opinion there, danblee.Yes, it should be noted (but alas a lot of the documentation is ‘in progress’) but then I think PHP 5 came out in 2004, that’s five years ago. It’s not unreasonable to say you should upgrade.

    This worked like a charm, Ipstenu. Thanks for the fix. I find it strange that there wouldn’t be a warning regarding the issue with PHP4. It’s kind of a big deal.

    You need to create a file called .htaccess in your forum root. Be sure the file starts with a period, and this only works if you’re on an Apache-based web server. IIS will not repond to this.

    Point your browser to bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php and paste the output of that screen into the file called .htaccess in your forum root. Now change the setting in the bbPress admin. Hopefully all will be well with that setup, but if not, post here.

    For example, if your forum is at http://www.example.com/forums/ then you need to point your browser to http://www.example.com/forums/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php and grab the output of that to paste into your new .htaccess file. Also, I think that only works if you’re logged in as keymaster. I don’t think you can just do that on any bbPress site.

    Also, you might need to put this at the top of your .htaccess file:

    Options -MultiViews

    Some hosts won’t work without that (like mine for, 1and1.com).

    Permalinks are just that – permanent. I don’t believe the permalink will change even if you change the topic title. I don’t think that’s a bug, I think that’s intentional.

    For example:

    To help get more people actively involved, why doesn’t bbPress host a “bug fixing marathon weekend” and offer a prize to the most bugs fixed within a 48 hour period.

    Or a contest to redesign the web site.

    Or a contest to improve the documentation.

    Just trying to come up with ideas to help.

    Hello,

    I noticed a bug in bbPress, when editing message title. When using url rewriting option, bbPress doesn’t fix the url to the htaccess file.

    Change title First forums to First forum

    URL (No change) = …forums/first-forums

    Can somebody repair that?

    I’m having a similar problem (404 error when using Pretty Permalinks) and assumed it was the .htaccess file. But where do I get the code to add to the .htaccess file to make things work properly? Would I need to adjust my main .htaccess file (outside of bbpress) – or is there an .htaccess file for BBPress. I don’t see an .htaccess file in BBPress anywhere…

    #72099

    Try here: http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/nav.html?_variables/index.html

    I use that when I’m trying to understand how it all ties in.

    Hi!

    I’m using the post notification plugin ( http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/)

    I’m wondering if there is an opportunity that i’ll get the actual post instead of just getting a notification…

    I guess I would have to change that:

    $message = __(“There is a new post on: %1$s nReply by: %2$s nn%3$s “);

    but have no idea how…

    Anybody any help for me?

    Cheers!

    I’ve read the threads on the problem with 0.9.0.4 and php4. For example:

    Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()!

    Are we going to see a version before 1.0 that I can run properly without upgrading the server to php5?

    _ck_ paints a pretty bleak picture for bbpress 1.0. A pointless rewrite of 50% of the code, which neutralizes much of the benefit of having the beta in the wild for all this time. Extra bulk and slower performance.

    Sam’s response reads like a carefully worded validation.

    Sounds like a lack of information is the least of our problems.

    It would nice to get links to your BP & WP intergrations.

    #72067

    If I can throw out some input, having felt both sides of this debate multiple times, I think the bbPress audience is just looking for a little more information than maybe what is presented publically, and hoping that maybe it’s delivered with a little more public relations than it is firm moderation.

    Lets take a moment to be honest with each other. The bbPress website, as a whole, is in bad shape. The documentation is old and outdated, transversing multiple versions and subversions of code with no WordPress style codex to whisper about. To offer a bit of perspective to everyone, bbPress is following WordPress in it’s development style, and remember that bbPress isn’t even 1.0, and WordPress is at 2.7. Where do you think bbPress will be when it is at version 2.7?

    While we’re all used to how WordPress works and how convenient it is to have years of experience and knowledge to build off of, bbPress just isn’t to that level yet, and it isn’t fair to expect for it to be.

    I feel that the bbPress site needs a serious update, just like the WordPressMU site does. There needs to be some uniformity and some solid public relations going on to get the message across to answer these questions before they even begin to be thoughts in a users mind, and no offense to anyone but a sticky topic isn’t enough, even though there isn’t a sticky anymore. Even if the product is free, it’s still a product, there are reputations on the line, and ultimately someone is investing in Automattic to help pay Sam’s bills, so someone needs to be nice to the customers, even if they’re not paying a dime.

    Sam, if you’re listening, I’d love to help restyle bbPress.org to help it more accurately match WordPress.org/com. I would have suspected this was something done by someone specific within Automattic, but I think I remember reading that you styled it specifically yourself. If it will help take some of the burden off of you, I’d love to help out in anyway that I can.

    I’d just like to say that _ck_ is well qualified to answer questions about just about every aspect of bbPress, including this topic. I can’t fault the information she gave in her replies here.

    @Malice

    You should be able to upgrade from anything as far back as perhaps bbPress 0.8 to any later version. Upgrade paths are generally kept smooth, but downgrading is an issue.

    @johnmc

    I’ve looked into making 0.9 compatible with WP2.7, but the changes it would introduce would probably make 0.9 less stable than 1.0-alpha and take a long time to complete.
