If you can find a wordpress plugin that does this, it will be very easy to convert to bbpress.

I wish I had experience with that but I don’t.

However following other posts with this tag might help:

Well you’re asking two different things but the answer to both is yes with some code changes to your templates.

You can get the last poster for any topic in the list via this:

<?php echo '<a href="'.get_topic_last_post_link().'">'.get_topic_last_poster().'</a>'; ?>

but there is also a plugin that I believe will change the last poster’s name into a link too. So either way.

You might be able to paginate the lastest discussions by putting this at the bottom of latest discussions outside the loop:

<?php forum_pages(); ?>

However it’s a 50/50 chance it won’t work.

Or you can use the “My Views” plugin which will give you a paginated Latest Discussion view that you can link to.

example:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/latest-discussions

plugin:

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

Someone has been working on some new export/import functions but I don’t believe they are ready yet.

There is an old phpBB convertor for bbpress, so if you can get yabb into phpBB, you might be import from that.

If the background goes yellow that probably means it flagged you as a “bozo” which is a feature that has never worked quite right in bbpress.

You can disable the “bozo” feature completely by editing bb-settings.php and commenting out the line:

// require( BBPATH . BBINC . 'bozo.php');

around line 110 or so

I think I better understand what you are asking about after running into a similar problem today on my bbcode lite plugin. I filed a trac ticket:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/795

bbPress seems to encode non-ending tags into html entities if you save a post twice. Not good.

I just ran into the problem, they must be fiddling.

Delete all your bbpress.org cookies and you’ll be able to log in again.

Here’s a bookmarklet to zap cookies for just the site you are on it if you don’t want to search through your settings:

(just make sure it’s bbpress.org in your window when you run it)

I don’t believe there is a CAPTCHA plugin yet, but there is a “Human Test” plugin:

Sounds like the keymaster is a bozo:

yep, same problem here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/firefox-wp-cookies-are-not-acceptet

I think i found the problem: I’am logged in but bbPress just don’t show it… but i haven’t tested it enough so wait a little bit and probably I can say more…

Doesn’t your code zap all BRs?

This is not quite what you are trying to do, but maybe you can add BR to this list and see if bbpress will bypass the self-closing requirement.

function bb_allow_extra_tags( $tags ) {

$tags['del'] = array();

$tags['strike'] = array();

$tags['s'] = array();

$tags['b'] = array();

$tags['i'] = array();

$tags['u'] = array();

$tags['bq'] = array();

$tags['blockquote'] = array();

$tags['pre'] = array();

$tags['hr'] = array();

$tags['br'] = array();   // see if this allows non-closed br

$tags['BR'] = array();   // see if this allows uppercase BR

return $tags;

}

add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'bb_allow_extra_tags' );

As far as uppercase/lowercase that would be tricker if it’s hard coded in the code. You’d have to filter the post text ahead of time, find all tags and convert them to lowercase. Or try adding $tags['BR'] = array(); to the above list and see if that makes a difference.

Personally I’d just add the bbcode plugin if you’ve got people trying to make fancier posts. It’s far more common across all forums.

I’m new to bbpress, and was playing around with an install. I noticed that it doesn’t allow all forms of line breaks, only the current proper one that is self closing.

<br> and <BR>

Do not seem to work properly. This was an issue because I noticed that my users are sloppy HTML coders and the tags would just print out.

I don’t know if it has been covered before. I searched and found nothing. I did get it to work with a small php tweak.

In formatting-functions.php, I put the following under bb_encode_bad:

$text = preg_replace('|& lt;BR& gt;|', '', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|& lt;br& gt;|', '', $text);

$text = preg_replace('|& lt;br /& gt;|', '', $text)

(The code tag won’t output the code correctly, so I put a space after the &, so they wouldn’t get converted.)

It works, but all three forms now convert to<br>, instead of

Which works well enough, but even self closing br tags will now drop the /

I’m not strong at PHP. Only enough to get by. What do you think. Is there another way to do it? Or a better way? Or hell, a plugin?

Awh, thanks! Well not sure about “vigilant” as I wax and wane here as I have the time and energy but I try to help when I can. Hope it’s helping someone! bbPress installs seem to have doubled since October 2007 so that’s probably a good sign… appreciate the hugs, I needed that…

ps. that would be guys and gals!

I joined IRC #bbpress last night, and a kind soul figured it out.

It was all because of the plugin. After installing the plugin, all went great.

#chrishajer; on my server, the admin-tool lets me turn glob on and off. “off default”

and, it IS an error when I cant login

This plugin-problem should be in the FAQ.

Thank you both..

I would like to, but the plugin I am using is restricted to WPMU exclusively (not normal wordpress) and was purchased through WPMUDEV Premium services and the copyright is so that you have to pay them to use it.

If you are looking at a combination avatar plugin, have you searched google for “wordpress bbpress common avatar” or something similar? Have you checked out the plugin directory to see what is offered here for avatars up and above the “service” company avatars like gravatar?

Trent

[tholian]

It works!

Thanks Chris! It seems I was uploading the contents of the bbpress folder *and* the bbpress folder itself to the website. Once I uploaded just the contents of the bbpress folder it worked fine. Oh well, live and learn.

[janellers]

Hi Trent,

thanks for your reply. I’am using this plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/private-forums/

The hide-option is checked, and tested in both themes. The unregistered user can only Enter the Forums flagged “open for all” but that is useless when they cant see them

[Trent Adams]

Not sure if anyone has done it, but maybe start by looking at the way it pulls wordpress users from another database?

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

Trent

[Trent Adams]

It can be done as I am using a custom avatar plugin that I use with my wpmu install that pulls the avatar from the wpmu side when comparing the user id from bbPress and the wpmu user (as they are the same with integration).

In terms of normal wordpress, I am not sure if one exists. I know lots have used gravatar or mybloglog as their base avatar system (myself included) just to make integration easier

[Trent Adams]

I think the majority of this problem is that the array is returning false unless you have a plugin with an underscore. There is a TRAC ticket for this issue, but installing the following temporarily fixed things for me:

Sounds like glob has been turned of by the system administrator. You can fix it.

Hi, I’m having the same problem. I’m running bbPress 0.8.3 with allow-images, fix bbPress, notification, and private-forums plugins. Except for the problem (below), everything is running fine.

Basically, if a regular member clicks “ADD NEW” link on the front page of the forum, their Pick a Section dropdown list is blank, and if they go ahead and submit the new post form, they get an error that the forum topic is closed.

If same user clicks on a forum and posts from there – works fine. If an adminstrator clicks from front page, it works fine. If I deactivate the private-forums plugin, it works fine.

Can anyone suggest a way to fix this? Besides deactivating private forums,that is.
