Member baptiste here had a similar problem although it was with 0.75:

Maybe your issue is similar?

Hey, that sounds like a great idea. The ability for plugins to automatically clean up after themselves … fantastic!

1.0 Alpha checked out March 25, 2007.

I just noticed in my admin panel that there are four normal looking entries in “Recently Moderated” and then the last one just shows this:

Topic title started by .

The source shows this:

<li>Topic titled <a href="http://www.example.com/forum/

topic.php?id&page&replies&view=all"></a> started by <a

href="http://www.example.com/forum/profile.php?id=1"></a>.</li>

[edit – I added line breaks there since the code overflow was not displaying]

So, some of it is in the source, but there’s no topic title and there’s no topic starter name (which should be admin based on the id). It’s also missing the topic id, the page id, replies, etc.

Any thoughts?

I did change the name of the Key Master to “Admin” in bb-includes/capabilities.php if that matters.

I am using the following plugins if it matters:

allow-images.php

js_quicktags.js

bb-emoticons.php

notification.php

bb-limit-latest-discussion.php

onlinelist.php

bb-memberlist.php

since-last-visit.php

comment_qt_4_bbpress.php

wordpress-integration.php

Thanks. ( I imagine I can get rid of bb-memberlist since user management seems to be integrated into the admin panel now. )

Don’t think so. Vbulletin is obsoleet even phpbb3 (more then 1.5 years late) isn’t as fast and need as bbpress is. I don’t think 1000 post will be a problem since bbpress is “build” a differnt way (don’t know the english terms to explain it right)

[Arlo]

I’m on latest trac…is this filter present? I’m not seeing it anywhere.

[citizenkeith]

I fixed mine… just had the code pasted incorrectly. But I didn’t like it… seems to slow the site down quite a bit. I’ll wait for a better solution.

[Null]

What’s up with that tinymc… it’s crap really… don’t understand why wordpress uses it either, there are way better ones out there….

[citizenkeith]

hmmm… Doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas?

I’m a new bbPress user. I’m using the forum for some online friends to just hang out and chat. We were doing this on another forum that decided not to host it anymore.

They were using vBulletin, and it had a couple quirks. They limited the number of posts in a thread to 1000. Whenever it would get to that point, they’d close it and start a new one. The reason given was that when they reindexed the database, threads with a large number of posts would cause the indexing to choke.

Should I follow the same procedure wth bbPress?

[LMD]

Hello again, just finished examining code. There are two issues.

The first issue is that the blog entries you are posting to bbPress appear as closed topics. This problem is totally unrelated to the “Add Titles to Replies” plugin, which does not touch the ‘topics’ table in the database at all. I suggest you enquire with the ‘bbPress Post’ author about this. Did you update that plugin on your forum at the same time as installing mine? That could be the source of the problem.

Now, having said all that, the second issue is going to seem to contradict it. What I mean is, are you sure the topics are ‘closed’, or is it just that the content does not appear – that is, is it a phantom topic?

This can occur when the ‘topics’ table gets updated, but the ‘posts’ table does not for some reason (usually a coding error). When you create a new topic in bbPress, you are actually simultaneously creating the topic and making the first post in that topic – so both tables get updated.

This is where the problem involves my “Add Titles to Replies” plugin, because we have altered the ‘posts’ table, which may be causing an error in the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin code (that plugin writes to the database in a different way to the bbPress core).

Still with me? Good…

Now, I do not have access to an integrated WordPress/bbPress installation, so I have made a stab in the dark at trying to fix this the easy way. I’ve written a very short function (a bit of a hack really) that you can add to the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin.

In the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin open the file called ‘bbpress_post.php’ and add the following code to the bottom of the page, just before the bottom PHP tag ?>

/* Ugly 'Add Titles to Replies' Hack by LouiseDade */

function bbpress_add_reply_title( $post_id, $topic_id ) {

global $wpdb, $otherdb;

$bb_table_prefix = bbpress_getoption('bb_prefix');



if (bbpress_getoption('bb_other_base') === "no") {

$topic_title=$wpdb->get_var("SELECT topic_title FROM ". $bb_table_prefix ."topics WHERE topic_id=$topic_id LIMIT 1; ");

$wpdb->query("UPDATE ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts SET post_title='$topic_title' WHERE post_id='$post_id' LIMIT 1");

} else {

$topic_title=$otherdb->get_var("SELECT topic_title FROM ". $bb_table_prefix ."topics WHERE topic_id=$topic_id LIMIT 1; ");

$otherdb->query("UPDATE ". $bb_table_prefix ."posts SET post_title='$topic_title' WHERE post_id='$post_id' LIMIT 1");

}

}

Next, scroll up to the bbpress_new_post() function and at the bottom, before the closing curly brace, add:

/* Added by LouiseDade - updates post reply title */

bbpress_add_reply_title( $post_id, $topic_id );

Then scroll up again to the bbpress_post_update() function and add the same code as above just before the closing curly brace again.

Re-upload the plugin with the changes made and try posting a WordPress entry.

If it works I shall jump around for joy, but unfortunately I have grave doubts about it. I think it might need to be done the hard-way, which involves rewriting some of the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin.

Good luck!

I just installed bbpress and I have a feed of my forum in my netvibes page, but it does not seem to ‘refresh’?

My quesiton is: How fast does the netvibes page should ‘notice’ that I posted a new post in my forum? Is there something I should look into? I think it should be ‘noticed’ at once. Right?

Many thanks!

-daniel

Update => It was just published in my netvibes page… that was after like 50 mins!! And I hit ‘refresh’ in the netvibes feed. Is this normal?

[LMD]

Hi,

Thank you for letting me know. I suspect the problem is something to do with the fact that an extra database field has been created, and the ‘bbPress Post’ plugin is not updating that field. I have downloaded the plugin and will look at the code to see what’s going on — the fix may have to be in ‘bbPress Post’ rather than my plugins – but it may just be a small code change you can make yourself.

So, I’ll get back to you in this topic later.

[spicycauldron]

Posts I make to my blog until today showed up thanks to the bbpress post plugin on my forums. Now they’re posting to the forums but closed from the outset so nobody can comment on them.

If I click on ‘close topic’ it changes to ‘open topic’ but remains closed. Click it again, it goes back to ‘close topic’ and, again, stays closed.

Does anyone have a fix, please?

Perhaps this plugin_deactivate hook is a nice idea to add?

Then something in the plugin:

on deactivation -> drop table x OR drop row x

made a trac for this

[fel64]

Not as far as I know. It depends if there is a plugin_deactivate hook and if bb keeps data on plugins (and their tables), which I both doubt.

For WP I think I saw a plugin which had a clean up tables button or something, so you could clean up before deactivating. Come to think of it … I never did clean up before deactivating. >_<

[Null]

Hi,

Is it possible at all to update a db table when de-activating a plugin?

Some plugins create an own db table and it would be great if this table is deleted when a plugin is deativated. Keeps the db clean

I am working on a few themes for WordPress and BBPress and would very much like to use (and perhaps release) concurrent ones for wordpress and bbpress.

The WordPress example, and what I hope to eventually accomplish can be seen here. It’s kind of simple, I know. I am having a bit of trouble with the BBPress theme of the same styling because it does things so much differently than WordPress.

I am struggling (a bit) with trying to figure out the CSS required, but is there a bit more ‘in-depth’ description of the style sheet and various php files for the basic BBPress theme? I am having trouble getting it to do things the same way as the working theme. As well, is there a way to get the borders of the photographs displayed in posts to change? The graphics used would have to be scalable (corners intact) and be ‘above’ the images photos displayed, and a method for bypassing that feature as well (basically a method of using the same photo to demonstrate the cutouts used).

Thanks muchly.

My forum is at http://thehathorlegacy.info/forum/. It’s for discussing how women are portrayed in film and TV.

I’m using the Crystal theme by http://33rockers.com/. I’m using wmarcy’s fix listed above until Bozo and Akismet stop marking half the posts as spam.

For plugins:

bb-avatar

bb-limit-latest-discussion

comment_QT_4_bbpress (quick tags to make the comment box more user-friendly – awesome!)

fix-bbpress (which I think is awaiting a fix of its own, LOL)

patch-to-URL (can’t honestly recall what version this one was for?)

[wittmania]

I’ve been fiddling around inside Ardentfrost’s Private Messaging plugin, which is very cool!

One question I have, though… it seems that when a PM is sent, it ignores the line breaks from the text area so that everything runs together. I suppose you could hard code the paragraph tags in, but most users would never take the time to do that.

This might belong in the discussion on that plugin’s page, but my question is a general one. In the normal BBP post routine, it automatically converts the double line breaks so they show up correctly in the post. How is this done, and is it simple enough that I could add it somewhere in the plugin to make it perform the same way when a new private message is posted?

Thanks!!!

[Arlo]

This is my migrated phpBB forum. It’s integrated with my main site rather tightly (UI-wise, not database), and I did a bit of modification to the post layout, making the best use of the narrow column I think. Other than that, just your usual CSS tweakage.

It’s not live yet, so I welcome feedback:

The plugins I’m using are:

Front Page Topics

It works if you are willing to download the latest TRAC version from https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/ and then scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking the ‘download in other format – Zip format’. That is the latest development version. Then you have to change your config.php to have:

$bb->mod_rewrite = 'slugs';

Your .htaccess file should just be back to whatever you had before. Mine is just the + MultiViews part.

[Trent Adams]

Once 1.0 comes out, it will be a standard part of the release. There was much discussion on how to include a ‘prettier permalinks’ structure into bbPress and this was agreed upon and is committed to the TRAC development version of bbPress. I personally love it!

Trent

[ThomasClausen]

I thought I had it figured it out…

It seemed like the pretty permalinks ruined the frontpage-rss. Therefore I removed followed step 3 in How do I get Pretty Permalinks working? and that seemed to do the trick, eventhough the Pretty Permalinks did work before with just: Options +MultiViews in the .htaccess file.

It doesn’t work though, the rss feed looks like this: http://voipbloggen.dk/forum/rss/

• But it is not up to date,
• and the link doesn’t work

[ThomasClausen]

When I click on the RSS-icon in FF browser window, i get these errors:

bbPress database error: [Table ‘*****.bb_online’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT activity FROM bb_online WHERE user_id=1 LIMIT 1

bbPress database error: [Table ‘*****.bb_online’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT * FROM bb_online WHERE user_id = 1 LIMIT 1

bbPress database error: [Table ‘*****.bb_online’ doesn’t exist]

INSERT INTO bb_online (user_id, activity) VALUES (‘1’, ‘2007-03-25 10:56:55’)

***** = BBDB_NAME

Any thoughts on what’s wrong?

[zapata]

trent, sorry was away. no I’m keeping wp and bbpress seperate except for the user integration plugin. I’ll create a user for you and send it to you right away.
