Have you tried to search one in Extend?

If you find no plugin and you can do code, I think you can check line 18 in /bb-post.php, line 479 in /bb-includes/capabilities.php.

You need to check current user’s is allowed to start a new topic in specific forum or not in your filter hook.

Just thoughts, but should work.

PS. I think it’s better not to do too much that bbPress can’t by default, or you could suffer more after upgrading unless you completely know what you do.

And what about restricting only new posts in some forums (ie. in forum 1 members can start topics but not in forum 2).

Is this also easy in bbpress? (i don’t need a fancy admin configuration, just a straight plugin with hardcored values).

Thanks.

Hi,

I am about to migrate my current bbpress site over to a new server and would like to freeze posting and registration so that the databases don’t get out of sync. I don’t really want to take the whole forum offline, though.. I’d like visitors to still be able to read through the existing posts. Does anyone know of a quick way to do this?

TIA

I set up an integrated BBPress and MU WordPress on Nginx. There may be a better way of doing the rewrites but these work well for me.

Here are the BBPress Nginx rewrites:

location /forums/ {

root /home/YOURDIRECTORY/public_html/forums;

index index.php;

if (!-e $request_filename) {

rewrite ^/forums/topic/(.*)$ /forums/topic.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/forum/(.*)$ /forums/forum.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/profile/(.*)$ /forums/profile.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/view/(.*)$ /forums/view.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/tags/(.*)$ /forums/tags.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/rss/(.*)$ /forums/rss.php?q=$1 last;

rewrite ^/forums/bb-admin/ /forums/bb-admin/index.php last;

rewrite ^/forums/ /forums/index.php last;

break;

}

}

Hi again

I am just trying to post the banners in a thread.

The plugin is already enabled, so that’s not the problem. Most of the banner codes seem to have the closing backslash missing in the closing img tag. It seems that bbpress is particularly fussy when it comes to this type of code.

[fel64]

Bugs, enhancements etc. should go on http://trac.bbpress.org. It’d be great if you put this up there.

[kannued]

If you have the latest version of bbpress (.8.3), you need to activate the plugin that allows images.

[bssfi]

This is a regular problem on my forum. bbpress seems to remove the image part of the banner as there is missing code. Usually I can work out where the missing tag goes. In the case of the following TradeDoubler code, I can’t! Any suggestions much appreciated.

<script type=”text/javascript”>

var uri = ‘http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp?type(img)g(16463372)a(1422608)&#8217; + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);

document.write(‘<img src=”‘+uri+'” border=0>‘);

</script>

I experienced the same problem, and deactivating the “Use Display Name” plugin fixes it for me too. Something in the “Use Display Name” plugin may be broken. (But with previous version of bbPress, it works fine.)

There is another strange thing. The “display names” from WP are still displayed after deactivating the plugin, but only in the topic listings, not in the threads. This isn’t exactly what I’d expected…

were do i put .po file ?? i am a noob

Here is a link to mine: http://www.68kb.com/2007/10/25/bbpress-plugin-68-gravatars/

From browsing your code mine is way way basic. Just one function and one call. Also mine only uses the posters registered email as well.

[livibetter]

This plugin can validate more deeper. Not only the HTML tag’s attributes, but also the contents of attributes. You can set your own regular expression for attributes. For example, you want limit users to post Flash videos only from YouTube or Google, then you can restrain the src attribute.

Sample posts: This post shows you an embedded YouTube video and this has a image floating at right side.

Visit Plugin page or directly download HTMLTagAttributesValidator.php.

Any comments on this plugin are very welcome.

Same problem? https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/710

[intellivision]

I’ve tried editing usernames in the db to no avail.

How can I have users like $tevie show the “$” on their posts in topic.php — just show the whole name. Out of the box, bbPress simply ignores the funny chars, so we see “tevie” as the post’s author.

ASCII equivalents too, like the copyright symbol (damn phpBB loose username validation).

I’m willing and able to edit the few usernames in the db by hand. I have a few of these funny char names from my port from phpBB.

[livibetter]

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: NoNewsPostsForMembers

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/no-new-posts-for-members

Description: No New posts for members

*/



function NoNewsPostsForMembers($roles) {

$roles['member']['capabilities']['write_posts'] = false;

return $roles;

}



add_filter('get_roles', 'NoNewsPostsForMembers');

?>

Put it in my-plugins with any filename.php you like. Activate it. Then this should work.

Sounds like you don’t have an SMTP server. Can you send mail from the command line? You’re not on Sourceforge are you?

Hello!

I want to restrict new posts in bbpress only to moderators and admins. What is the best way to do it?

I’ve found a very simple way editing capabilities.php but I would like to avoid editing the source code.

'member' => array(

'name' => __('Member'),

'capabilities' => array(

(...)

'write_posts' => false,

Thanks.

Great software – I love the approach take with WordPress and BBpress – simple, clean and elegant.

Are you planning on adding photo upload capability for forum posters?

[chrishajer]

Have you read this thread:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/my-manager-wants-to-remove-the-need-for-passwords-altogether?replies=5

?

[chrishajer]

Which changes did you make? Did you apply the 745c.diff patch from trac?

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745

[chrishajer]

Check these related posts, all tagged with 745:

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/745

745 is the trac ticket where the bug was recorded:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745

There is a patch attached to that ticket that seems to solve the problem:

https://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/745/745c.diff

Upon reading more closely your report, this may not be related to your problem at all. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen your problem before. It is sort of related since it’s about db-mysqli.php and db.php. Maybe that patch will fix things up for you.

I upgraded as instructed on bbpress’ upgrade page, but received the following errors:

Warning: main(/home/pinewood/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pinewood/public_html/bbpress/bb-settings.php on line 93

I used my old config file, templates, and plug-ins (I never had an htaccess file though?). Any thoughts?

[zenonx]

I have exactly the same problem (after posting comment I’m no longer admin in bbpress). Using previous version doesn’t fix it.

[sethi2000]

I am still getting error after making all the recommended changes

Warning: mysqli_get_server_info() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, boolean given in /home/.mascot/digitalguruz/sheetudeep.com/bbpress/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80
