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?

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:

745 is the trac ticket where the bug was recorded:

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

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:

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

I made some changes to have paginated search results on relevant post. However, I am not sure is this what you need. You need to modify two files: search.php in root of bbPress and search.php of your template files.

Replace if block start at line 9 in search.php of root of bbPress with:

if ( $q = stripslashes( $q ) ) {

add_filter( 'bb_recent_search_fields',   create_function( '$f', 'return $f . ", MAX(post_time) AS post_time";' ) );

add_filter( 'bb_recent_search_group_by', create_function( '', 'return "t.topic_id";' ) );

$bb_query_form->BB_Query_Form( 'post', array(), array( 'per_page' => 5, 'post_status' => 0, 'topic_status' => 0, 'post_text' => $q, 'forum_id', 'tag', 'topic_author', 'post_author' ), 'bb_recent_search' );

$recent = $bb_query_form->results;



$bb_query_form->BB_Query_Form( 'topic', array( 'search' => $q ), array( 'post_status' => 0, 'topic_status' => 0, 'search', 'forum_id', 'tag', 'topic_author', 'post_author', 'count' => 'found_rows' ), 'bb_relevant_search' );

$relevant = $bb_query_form->results;

global $relevant_round_rows;

$relevant_found_rows = $bb_query_form->found_rows;

$q = $bb_query_form->get( 'search' );

}

I added a query parameter 'count'=>'found_rows' to second $bb_query_form for retrieving total post count. And I added global $relevant_found_rows to pass to template search.php (you can use bb_load_template to do same thing).

Insert the following code just before second <?php endif; ?> from bottom in template search.php

<div class="nav">

<?php

$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

if (false !== $pos = strpos($uri, '?')) {

$uri = substr($uri, 0, $pos) . '?q=' . urlencode($q) . '%_%';



if (!isset($page))

$page = 1;



global $relevant_found_rows;

echo paginate_links(array('base' => $uri, 'format' => '&page=%#%', 'total'=>ceil($relevant_found_rows/$bb->page_topics), 'current'=>$page));

}

?>

</div>

Should look like:

<?php if ( $relevant ) : ?>

<h2><?php _e('Relevant posts')?></h2>

<ol class="results">

<?php foreach ( $relevant as $bb_post ) : ?>

<li><h4><a href="<?php post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title($bb_post->topic_id); ?></a></h4>

<?php echo bb_show_context($q, $bb_post->post_text); ?>



<small><?php _e('Posted') ?> <?php bb_post_time( __('F j, Y, h:i A') ); ?></small>



</li>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</ol>

[insert the code above here]

<?php endif; ?>

You can find paginate_links in bb-includes/wp-functions.php.

I was not happy with bbPress search functionality a long time ago, now I just live with it. The results were always weird looking to me.

Anyway, now I just use Google to search my site if I want to find anything. Something like:

site:mysite.com term1 term2 at google.com does the trick. Of course, the content needs to be indexed at Google for that to work. An alternative I heard about was Google Custom Search Engine:

http://www.google.com/coop/cse/

I have no idea how that works but it’s an option.

I think doing what you propose with the search results would require a lot of work (having 3 sets of search results complicates it in my mind), but maybe one of the plugin writers will show an easy way to do what you propose. Maybe you could perform all three searches and aggregate the results, then paginate them. That would be easier than breaking them into title matches, recent posts and relevant posts. That begs for having advanced search options anyway. Like, why can’t you search for a user’s name? I thought you used to be able to, but searching my forum now for a known user name doesn’t return anything like “User Name matches”: I thought it used to.

Looking at how a user profile works is interesting. If you click on a user’s name to get to profile.php?id=the_user_id, you’ll see a paginated list of all posts made by that user ordered by the last time they replied (so, that user’s posts in the order that they made them, most recent first) and a list of threads started, I think. Maybe a plugin could be written to replace the search queries with something like what profile.php does, except instead of selecting all posts and threads for a user (which are returned in $posts and $threads) maybe you could do a similar query with your search term, in all the fields you want to check, then return that? Hmmmm…

I think search is a weak point for lots of blogging platforms and forum software, and I think getting it right is important, so it’s worth looking into.

Good luck.

(sorry: edited version substantially)

[krussell]

I’m looking for advice on how to modify the search functionality to paginate the results that are returned; i.e. the default functionality returns N matches in each of the following categories: thread title, recent posts and relevant posts, but I would like to allow a user to scroll through repeated pages of search results.

I’ve had a look at search.php and this is structured around returning a fixed number of results for each query, which effectively hides anything that doesn’t come up in the first N results of the search. The concept of listing the results of 3 different queries in one results page also seems to be incompatible with providing a pagination mechanism (which list do you paginate?). I feel that the default method of handling search results is a bit limited and confusing for users familiar with a typical Google-style search that returns one simple list in multiple pages.

I have had a look at the code, but I’m no PHP guru; is there any way of getting the sort of results I would like without fundamentally rewriting the search mechanism?

p.s. not being overly critical here – I think bbPress is a great piece of work!

[Trent Adams]

That doesn’t seem like the same plugin that I use from Stefano that does the same thing!

[intellivision]

I’m using Comment Quicktags + plugin by Dan Cameron, and I’ve got it working pretty well. Except for Edit.

When you edit a post and land on edit.php, the tag buttons simply don’t appear.

The js path does appear in the source.

Any thoughts?

[jolaedana]

More issues along the same lines here:

Key master is not allowed to add forums

Can’t add additional tags to post

I can confirm that I am using the “use display name” plugin mentioned in the first thread, and deactivating it DID fix the issue.

Hello,

I’ve bbpress installed with wpmu.

Integration seems to work fine. when logged in wpmu, i’m logged in bbpress too. wonderful.

The problem come whenI try to login from bbpress header >> I type my login/pass, hit “log in” =>

– If good password : nothing happens, page just reload.

– If wrong password : redirect to error message in bb-login.php

May be I must say that I have :

wpmu in : domain.com

bpress files in : domain.com/forum

bbpress redirected to : forum.domain.com

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Trent Adams]

It would be easier to do the following if you want to change your title back in config.php and then download your header.php from your template folder and do something like this:

<h1><a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a></h1>

Then save the file and upload to /my-templates/ so if you make a mistake, you can delete it and bbPress will use the original!

[majea]

livibetter, thank you for your help, but I still can’t get it to work. I think I’m going to do some reading up on php and try to understand the process a bit more, so I can figure out what is going on here.

[chrishajer]

I think this is related to this trac ticket:

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

There is a patch attached there:

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

But, read the bug report first to see if this is your problem. I think it is.

[chrishajer]

Never mind

[livibetter]

I see. Then that would be

require_once '../wp-blog-header.php';

[majea]

Livibetter, thanks, but I’m still a bit confused, as that looks like what I did type. Also, I installed bbPress as a subdirectory in the WordPress folder, so it was path/to/wordpress and then path/to/wordpress/bbPress. Does this make a difference?

[livibetter]

Hi,

Here is a quick php for it(Use this method at your own risk), you need pretty permalink to use it.

Save the following code in bbPress root folder as page.php

<?php

require_once('./bb-load.php');

if (preg_match('/.*/page/(.*)/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $matches)) {

$file = bb_slug_sanitize($matches[1]) . '.php';

if (file_exists(bb_get_active_theme_folder() . "/static/$file")) {

bb_load_template("static/" . $file);

exit(0);

}

}

wp_redirect(bb_get_option('uri'));

?>

Put your static pages in a new static folder under your template folder, they should looks like

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

The static content here.

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

Then you can access a static file. For example, access test.php(bb-templates/yourtemplate/static/test.php) at http://yoursite.com/bbpress/page/test

Remember: Use this method at your own risk
