    Since I can’t edit the first post here I’m just going to use my wp blog for updates:

    bbPress Polls plugin

    v0.11 is a bug fix:

    Installing it will definitely answer all your questions.

    Many answers are yes. The current options near the top will give you an idea.

    I designed it from the start to allow votes on multiple selections or single section – the poll creator can decide.

    bbpress cleans up the topic meta on its own, so if the topic is deleted in theory the meta is deleted (but bbpress doesn’t really delete topics yet, it just flags the differently)

    you can decide if polls close with the topic or not

    you can also decide if the poll is shown on each page of the topic or just the first

    only members can vote – I do not have any plans to implement non-member voting, it defeats the purpose and makes the code much more complex

    Eventually I will do more than horizontal bars which will make a higher load (I am sure I can find an existing easy library). Bars are currently done in pure CSS which makes it lightning fast and completely customisable with colours and even rounded corners with images.

    Some questions:

    Vote, more then 1 option possible option? (max setting like classic (just 1 option possible) 2 options, 3 etc :)

    If a topic is deleted, does it clean-up the poll as well? (since a real deletion isn’t happening in bbPress, this wouldn’t be a problem for now)

    What happends if a poll is deleted? (but topic still excists)

    Who can vote? All? Members?

    If a topic is closed, automaticly close voting aswell?

    Results are in horizontal bars? Perhaps option to show them like a pie (or even vertical bars) :D Even better if a user can choose this when seeing the results:

    Option result 1: ===============

    Option result 2: =====

    Option result 3: =========

    Show as bars | Show as pie

    Would like to see a demo, cause can’t test this at work :(

    Oh… you’re hacking the core, that’s easy but not good.

    I am desperately trying not to touch the bbpress core which was a huge mistake I did with wordpress and made it impossible to upgrade even when there were critical security fixes.

    bbpress is in such a state of flux right now it would be crazy to hack the core, updates with major changes can be expected almost every other month.

    I’ll put this on my scary growing list of things to look at. To be honest it’s not a huge priority but you might want to seriously consider my idea of messing with the topic_status flag. You already are halfway there.

    I am pleased to announce a new bbPress Polls plugin.

    Your members can now add polls to their topics, or optionally you can allow *anyone* to add a poll to *any* topic, within a specified time period (hours) since the topic was started.

    bb-Polls allows single answer or multiple answer polls.

    No template edits of any kind.

    There are no additional db tables added, it uses bbpress topicmeta only. Only one entry is created per poll, regardless of size or options (this allow very easy cleanup if desired for some reason).

    This is a *very* early beta, however should be functional except for:

    1. missing admin menu (coming soon – edit plugin directly)

    2. missing administrative editing of existing polls.

    3. missing some visual tweaks (plural case, etc.)

    4. missing some more deluxe options (poll ending time, etc.)

    5. missing multi-language support (coming soon)

    If you can live with these limits and would like to help test and give me some useful, constructive feedback, please download:

    http://ckon.wordpress.com/files/2007/08/bb-polls.txt?v010

    (rename .txt to .php, install, activate, start a new test topic)

    The beta is set so only moderators and above can create/see the polls. This will allow you to test without disturbing visitors.

    Please note the visual styles may be WAY off for the default template or your own template. Unfortunately I am using a very customised template. You’ll probably have to edit the built in css which is kept clearly at the top. (the default styles will be fixed soon when I get a chance to do a trunk install this week)

    Upcoming features include the ability to display all polls and the ability to display a poll anywhere within bbpress templates.

    ps. I need to know if this works as in in the trunk version – I don’t see why it wouldn’t but you never know…

    I haven’t tried the trunk yet either… I just opened my forum a week ago and I’m trying to keep up with all the traffic and add the most important missing features.

    The one thing that is very frustrating is that administration and moderation in bbPress is not only virtually non-existent, but it’s not even all in one place. If I want to delete a user, I can’t do it from the admin panel, I have to go to their profile instead… annoying.

    I want a plugin that lets me take a reply post and turn it into a new topic. That’s a sorely lacking feature. Your move-it plugin almost fits the bill, but I have to create a new topic first, and then move the post, and then delete my original post in the new topic, or just make it say “look below, moving post into topic”.

    I think there is a bug in the naming of the hooks….

    I’d actually make this plugin for you as it doesn’t take much for it to happen – I just wanted to save some time by understanding how you are sending bbpress a predetermined future time and date rather than the current time and date for a new post. I haven’t looked at the core code but I didn’t think it was looking for time/date fields in a new post.

    a quick look shows bb_new_post posting post_time as bb_current_time(‘mysql’) – so it’s not even checking if a different time has been submitted, it’s forcing it to use the time it calculates…

    The front page topics plugin was driving me crazy because I really did want to have a different number of topics for the front page, forum pages, view pages, while leaving the posts per topic page alone and not have to hack the core.

    But there is a huge flaw in the fundamental design in that if you force bbpress to see a different number of topics-per-page, it will calculate the last post page entirely wrong, based on the page IT’S ON, vs the destination page.

    ie. front page set to 50 topics, posts-per-topic-page set to 25, last post is #30 on the page -> bbpress will calculate the page number for the last post as PAGE ONE off the front page, because that’s what the topic count is set to for the front page.

    This got me really annoyed so I researched the heck out of it and figured out this trick – it’s nasty but works (for 8.2.1 at least).

    so in config.php you’ve got

    // The number of topics that show on each page.
    $bb->page_topics = 20;

    now you can make a plugin with this, edit each page limit to your heart’s desire (anything without a $limit defined uses the config.php default)

    function custom_topic_limit($limit) {
    switch (bb_get_location()) :
    case 'front-page': $limit=45; break;
    case 'forum-page': $limit=35; break;
    case 'tag-page': break;
    case 'topic-page': break;
    case 'feed-page': break;
    case 'search-page': break;
    case 'profile-page': break;
    case 'favorites-page': break;
    case 'view-page': $limit=50; break;
    case 'stats-page': $limit=50; break;
    case 'login-page': break;
    default: $limit=20;
    endswitch;
    return $limit;
    }
    add_action( 'bb_get_option_page_topics', 'custom_topic_limit' );

    function fix_post_link ($link,$post_id) {
    remove_action( 'bb_get_option_page_topics', 'custom_topic_limit' );
    $bb_post = bb_get_post( get_post_id( $post_id ) );
    $page = get_page_number( $bb_post->post_position );
    return get_topic_link( $bb_post->topic_id, $page ) . "#post-$bb_post->post_id";
    }
    add_filter( 'get_post_link','fix_post_link',10, 2);

    The magic is in fix_post_link where it trashes whatever incorrect calculation that “get_post_link” has now done because of custom topic limits, and relculates it after unhooking the custom_topic_limit.

    No core hacks required!

    A plugin would be best I think.

    There are some very specific requirements to claim one of those OpenID bounties. bbPress doesn’t have enough users to qualify.

    Currently I can’t imagine bbPress getting native OpenID support, so a plugin is your best bet.

    I’m happy to help with the plugin, I’m pretty familiar with bbPress’ authentication routines.

    If you integrate bbpress and wordpress.. you can use openID plugin for google on bbpress as you will be sharing the users from wordpress on bbpress..

    Hello, my WP 2.2.1 installation has utf-8 encoding –

    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

    But when I try to integrate WP and BBpress with the help of plugins (bbpress-latest-discussion-for-wp.0.9 and display-name.0.7.2) there are encoding problems.

    When I save a post with word “Administrátor” in WP 2.2 – to MySQL it is saved “Administrátor”, which is right. But when I save a topic with word “Administrátor” in BBpress – to MySQL it is saved like “Administr�tor” (or something else – but always wrong), but on forum it can be seen right like “Administrátor”. So, I think there are problems that WP 2.2 and BBpress uses different DB CHARSET (in WP 2.2 it is utf-8, but in BBpress it is something else – I think cp1250). Is it possible to change this somewhere in source files to work properly? Thank you very much for your help…

    Too bad Google also has it’s own API and doesn’t do openid (yet?)

    But in theory bbpress could be made to use google identities… interesting….

    Apparently there is a $5000 bounty for putting openid into a project? So the bbpress folks could claim that possibly and get some headlines:

    I’m looking at how openid is done and I think I’ll make the login even more simple for users – I’ll let them choose from like the top five or ten providers in a dropdown, ie.

    1. aol

    2. livejournal

    3. wordpress

    4. ??

    5. ??

    and then tell then to enter their username on that service – that way they don’t need to figure out it’s username.website.com

    I wonder if I force all my bbpress logins through wordpress if I can just use that openid plugin there and it will work on bbpress…

    only one way to find out I guess…

    Well i knew about the wordpress theme switcher. What i was really wondering was if someone had already made one for bbpress or was currently making one i guess. Or if there was another way to do what i wanted without having to use a theme switcher.

    Thank you for the link though. Ill look at it.

    Instead of xml-rpc pingbacks for 0.84 I’d love to see a more useful feature – OpenID support

    Apparently wordpress.com has had openid support since March:

    http://wordpress.com/blog/2007/03/06/openid/

    and here’s a wordpress plugin to allow logins via openid, now we need to port it to bbpress…

    http://verselogic.net/projects/wordpress/wordpress-openid-plugin/

    This would allow the quarter-million wordpress.com members and 120 million other openid participants to post on any bbpress forum with verified authentication.

    I solved all spam on my blogs quite easily – any post with more than one url never gets approved, never displayed. I’ve yet to see spammers not be greedy and only post one url.

    I had forgotten about the OpenID standard! We need to try to suggest that to the right people making WP/BB. That would be one of the most useful features ever (wordpress.com has nearly a quarter million registered members!)

    update: WAIT! It’s been done?!?!?

    http://wordpress.com/blog/2007/03/06/openid/

    How do we get openid support into bbpress then?!

    added: here’s a wordpress plugin to allow openid, now we need to port it to bbpress…

    It sounds like you really have a wordpress question since everything is running under wordpress… but here’s a plugin for wordpress to switch themes (I haven’t tried it myself)

    http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/ThemeSwitcher

    I don’t believe there is one for bbPress at the moment, considering there aren’t a lot of themes out there.

    We are in perfect sync on that one… having xml-rpc pingbacks in a forum is the most worthless feature idea to ever be thought of. I’ve completely disabled them on wordpress because I don’t think they provide any true value to the reader, and most of them are spam anyway. I’ve written my own simple spam plugin to run in conjunction with Akismet because I was unsatisfied with what I was getting.

    Your idea of the wordpress logins would work if they implemented OpenID in bbPress and had wordpress.com as an openid server. Would actually be a killer feature, I’d think.

    I’ve hacked up my wp-cache2 to allow for more dynamic code to be called on each post. Most of my content is really very static, so I don’t need it to be updated often.

    I’ve never had any issues with it caching the wrong versions though.
