sambauers, are you saying I have to move to India or China to get a job like that? More work being taken away from Americans …

Seriously though, I have a few spam users registered every day, and they always link their username to a website, but there are never any posts by them (maybe I delete them soon enough after registering that they never make a post.) So, what good is it creating a user with a link to a website in a profile they never post from? Would a list of users show up somehow in a stock bbPress install where the links there could actually drive traffic to them somehow? I know WHY they do it, but if their username is never shown next to a post, how would the link to their site ever get picked up? I’ve always wondered about that.

Try inserting it again so people can see it and help you get it aligned properly

In your theme, find this around line 21 and change to whatever you like:

a { color: #2e6e15; text-decoration: none; }

a:hover { color: #006400; }

You can change the color and font weight and size there.

In front-page.php, on line 11, change this:

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

to this

<?php if ( 0 > 1 ) : ?>

That originally said “if there are topics or super_stickies” then do the rest, which is show the latest discussions. Changing it as shown will cause it to never show “Latest Discussions” because zero is never greater than one (the statement always evaluates false so the code block is skipped). If you want to actually rip out the code that would display the Latest Discussions, you would delete lines 12 to 41 in the file front-page.php in your theme. Those are the line numbers in the stock file, your line numbers might be different. Delete from

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

to

<?php endif; // $topics or $super_stickies ?>

inclusive.

I have to think about that one. I imagine there’s a way to do it, but I haven’t ever done it. Since the name of the city is not a link, you’d have to make that a link to that category, and then suppress the listing of the child forums on the front page. Or, you could just create a new front-page.php that links to only those parent forums. Can you post a link to a screenshot of how you accomplished the different cities like that? Something from your admin panel, or a link to the post here that guided you toward separating things into cities like that?

WAIT: is it this that allowed you to separate the cities? I think livibetter could probably help you do what you want there since that was their code initially.

I’ve added the GPL license to the trunk of bbPress as well as a README containing copyright/attribution to contributors to bbPress.

You can view the current README file here:

http://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/README

I think this is a nice way to acknowledge the individual contributions of people involved in the development of bbPress.

I haven’t dug very deep (or even at all) into the changesets to find out past contributors. If you believe you should be on the list then please raise a new ticket in Trac pointing out what you contributed and when (the actual changeset number is really handy). I’ll validate it then add you as soon as I can.

If anyone out there who has some experience in the field of applying the GPL to projects wants to constructively criticise the way I have applied the license to the project then please go ahead. However we will not be applying headers to every file at this stage.

Hi. I want to change the data that is collected in the Registration:Profile Information page of bbpress. Some background…

I have a bbpress/WPMU integration. The system is working fine in terms of the two sites being integrated. When a user goes to register for an account on the forum, they are presented with a form with name, email, website, occupation, location and interests. I see in the source code where the associative array is (get_profile_info_keys). So I could modify the fields there, but there must be some “proper” way to change the profile info that is gathered.

I apologize if this is plainly explained somewhere. I can’t seem to find any admin page related to changing the bbpress profile info. I’d prefer to do this the sanctioned way and not modify source files.

Reading other posts I see stuff about plugins and the profile, but surely that isn’t the easiest way to change the nature of the data collected?

[fel64]

William: does a single, unique reply in bbpress sometimes not appear in wp and sometimes appear several times? Does this change as you reload the page or does it change from reply to reply (but stay consistent between refreshes)?

Vafaaaan: they don’t. I’ve yet to implement that.

[vafaaaan]

If i submit a post in wp with tags .. the tags are missing in bbpress. They dont get synced?

[electroniques]

@fel64:

My Blog’s address is: http://www.cmscentral.de/index.php

Installed in subfolder /content/

My forum’s address is: http://www.cmscentral.de/content/forum

I installed bbpress in my Blog’s/WP’s subfolder, because that supposedly should automatically have the right cookie settings.

Could this be a www/no-www issue?

[citizenkeith]

Thanks for writing this plugin.

Every time I update the restriction settings, my Private Forum plugin settings are reset to “Open To All.” Not sure if the problem is with this plugin or the Private Forum plugin.

[baptiste]

Did anyone find that you could piggyback onto the WordPress integration/authentication when using the OpenID plugin? It didn’t work for me. I had the plugin activated on my WordPress site and was able to login and create users just fine, but bbPress didn’t know about the credentials and wouldn’t login.

I need to get more familiar with how the integration is working – I thought it would work fine since it created a normal WordPress user record. But it kept saying the userid was unknown… Will probably dig into it later. The WP plugin is great – the persona fill in stuff is very cool. Only quirk was my ‘Display As’ defaulted to the userid even though a name was included. But I digress.

[chrishajer]

Would any of these plugins be useful?

Support Forum

Private Forums

Change Roles

I think editing out the capability to post for certain member roles would do the trick (the last plugin).

[chrishajer]

It’s been discussed a couple times:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/anonymous-posting

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/anonymous-post

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/my-manager-wants-to-remove-the-need-for-passwords-altogether

I would just make them register. If they can’t be bothered with that, why let them bother you with support questions? Can you think of other places where this is allowed?

Heck they can just register with a fake name and disposable email. It’s not that big a deal.

[fel64]

electroniques: what are the urls of your installs? You probably need to set the cookie domains explicitly.

joeby: I’d love to, but advice to electroniques is going to help you too. If you want to reward the help anyway, that’d be awesome.

[vafaaaan]

omg sry ..

add_profile_tab(__(‘Name’), ‘edit_profile’, ‘moderate’, ‘this-file-was-missing.php’);

So many ppl in this forum .. i can’t breathe

[vafaaaan]

am i doing it right?

function ed08_tab_add()

{

add_profile_tab(__('ED 08'), 'ed08', 'moderate', 'ed08-template.php');

}

add_action('bb_profile_menu', 'ed08_tab_add');

[vafaaaan]

cant get new profile tab/page link to work..

[vafaaaan]

What does these?

add_profile_tab(__('Name on tab'), 'whats this?', 'And this?', 'file.php');

.

if i call it once in my plugin it will remain until i deactivate it ?

.

Add settings?

bb_update_option('my_options', $options);

.

Delete settings?

bb_delete_option('my_options');

.

Show notice on admin page?

bb_admin_notice(__('Settings Saved'));

[vafaaaan]

Im using bbpress-integration.php first then installed bbsync .. seems working ok. Think ill let users signup via bbp and add admins trough wp.

OT: trac … is there a similar web-based management of software projects without the python stuff, written in php out there?

[joeby]

Yep, I have the same issue. Haven’t come across the answer yet, but waiting (im)patiently so I can get my bb up and running… As near as I can tell it’s a cookie issue, but I don’t know how to fix it…

Anybody wanna make $20 to get my installs working?

[chrishajer]

I’m not a programmer. I don’t know that much about bbPress. I’ve never written a bbPress plugin. But from reading the source and looking at other admin plugins, I was able to make this work. I’m sure you can too.

[livibetter]

Haven’t you noticed this line from bbPress source (L1296 in template-functions.php)?

$roles = $bb_roles->role_names;

I think chrishajer and me thought you knew how to program with PHP (by checking your website). Yes, chrishajer gave you a piece of code that is a hint not a just-can-work code at everywhere. I thought you can code with PHP, and you should be able to put the rest on your own code. However, I was wrong or you think someone else has taken care of the rest for you?

you also need to do global $bb_roles;, in case you really can not code with PHP.

(edit: Sorry for this emotional post to everyone else)

Hey.

I just setup bbpress and integrated it into my WordPress blog.

The good news is that when I signup a new user in my WordPress blog I can also log into my bbpress forum using the same username and password.

But I would like the user to remain logged in. For example if I login to my WP blog and then click a link that takes me to a post in my bbpress forum, I have to login again.

I thought I did everything necessary in order to synchonize WP and bbpress.

Does anybody have any clues what could be wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance already!!

[tbronson]

So I guess that’s how it works for the moment, unless one were to carry out some complicated core changes to bbPress?

[chrishajer]

Check this:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bike/XLF/bbpress-roles.png

I did that using the stuff I mentioned in this post. So, it works as an administrator since they can edit other users. There is a drop down with all 6 roles listed.

[fel64]

The next milestone is called 0.8.4 & Pings. Outstanding bugs/enhancements are here: https://trac.bbpress.org/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&milestone=0.8.4+%26+Pings

[amacho]

Anyone knows if there are any plans for the next version of bbpress, and when?
