Download the updated beta version here:
https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/posts-since-last-visit/trunk/since-last-visit.php?format=raw
Demo here:
http://la-school.com/bbpress/ (Test/test)
It requires Onlinelist 1.4 to work!!
As requested in another thread here, If you want to indicate new posts with an icon next to the topic do it this way:
<?php if ($topic->topic_time > view_since_last_visit_user()) : ?>
DISPLAY IF NEW
<?php else : ?>
DISPLAY IF NOT NEW
<?php endif; ?>
add this in front of you topic title.
At the moment the topic still stay “new” even if you’ve already seen it, till the next visit. Gonna fix this in next version.
Any Feedback?
Sounds like you’re looking for forum categories:

Hi david,
I was thinking of grouping for table formatting on the front page, which I guess later on in development could have permission attached, so something like..
** Support **
Installation — Getting it up and running
Troubleshooting — Fixing it when it’s broke
** Extend **
Templates — Making it look purtee
Plugins — Making it do what it ain’t supposed to
** Any other Business **
Requests and Feedback — Tell us what you’re thinking
OFF-Topic – Doesn’t exists, just trying to show what I mean ;o)
did you have a look at the link I posted, if you ported that to bbpress you’d just have a long list of forums…. am I making sense ? :oP
Give us an example of what you mean. Use the bbPress forums as an example if you can:
Installation — Getting it up and running
Troubleshooting — Fixing it when it’s broke
Templates — Making it look purtee
Plugins — Making it do what it ain’t supposed to
Requests and Feedback — Tell us what you’re thinking
I think I saw someone working on forum-grouping or someting. Otherwise, I can see what I can do.
Elo,
Is there a way to group forums together; I’m thinking about if you tried to scale bbpress to a large forum (the largest I know) sorting through all those subjects/topics/forums to find the right place to post would be difficult.
Thoughts ?
EDIT: he, he, he, my long subject show’s a bug in the css ;o)
Hi!
First off all, thank you very much for this great piece of code! 
We’re using bbpress as forum for our citizen journalism project “Bürgerzeitung Köln” at http://bz.koeln.de. Because our users prefer german language, we decide to do a translation. And of course we will make it public and available for everyone.
So, as ‘only’ 133 translations are waiting to be done, there should be a public Alpha availabe by the end of this week. It will be a “Sie”-Version, but it shouldn’t be a problems doing a “Du”-Version as well, later.
Greetz, Sven
Thanks Trent.
For any future googlers that find this thread, I’ve added a screenshot here as the demo site is likely to change as I play with stuff ;o)
Sorry for the double post. The first time I posted, I got a 408 Request Timeout error:
Request Timeout
This request takes too long to process, it is timed out by the server. If it should not be timed out, please contact administrator of this web site to increase ‘Connection Timeout’.

Mike Baptiste, maybe I don’t understand how the whole thing works, but in my database, they are stored without the href information, in the bbpress_posts table, and the <a href= stuff is added upon display. So checking the see that they are not there in the database might not be a valid check. Mine are stored without the href and they display fine and are clickable.
Also, when entering a URL in a post, I don’t enter the href or anything else, I just put the URL in there, with a http://, and it becomes clickable automagically when it’s displayed. Without the http://, it appears that sometimes they are not identified as links by bbPress (especially when there is no www. at the beginning.)
I just registered at your forum, made a post with a link in it, just the URL, and it is clickable. Maybe you’re doing too much work trying to add the <a href=""> </a> stuff? I never tried to know that it doesn’t work. Things that look like URLs are made clickable by bbPress.
I’ve converted my forum from phpBB to bbpress 1 month ago. Since then I have nearly 200 user accounts and not a single topic posted from anyone (there are only 3 postings total submitted by myself).
This appears to be some kind of bot creating accounts (such as viagraman), and the bbpress registration form looks rather easy to automate. Is there any solution to this like a CAPTCHA plugin? If not, its really needed as a standard feature.
Heh. The 2 body tags was something left over from downloading Trent’s template of this forum. I’ve cleaned up the errors now, leaving only one for target=”_blank” and one for having start=”1″ inside the
<ol> tag which comes from bbPress. It is still occurring. I’m trying to see if there is something in common with the places that it’s happening. The odd thing is the links won’t work on a small part of the page, will on others.
I see, and this plugin in instance, where do I set it? either in wordpress or bbpress?
Hello, I’m trying to get working display_name plugin in my forums but after installing the plugin it doesn’t work, it’s still showing “Admin” but in wordpress is showing my “name” correctly.
Another question, maybe related with the previous… Here I see people saying, “put it in your my-plugins folder”, but if bbpress has not plugins or has it? pardon my confunsion :S
Thanks in advance
cool… will stand by… havent dug into writing plugins for bbpress yet… happy to help test if for ya too…
Excuse
The plugin is available for download here.
Плагин можно загрузить здесь.
yes, that is exactly what I wanted… strange behavior though as I “guessed” thats what the address would be… well, sort of… I left off the trailing slash and get a page error… still not used to bbpress pretty urls wanting that trailing slash that is not normally needed…
thanks!
Mr Papa
What version is installed? This problem has come up a couple times before, and I thought it was fixed in the latest .75 version, at least.
If you’re not using .75, I would start there. Here are some forum posts that dealt with the redirect issue before .75 came out:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/531?replies=20#post-3050
Is the plugin viewer different than the “Extend” menu item on this site? That has an RSS feed:
bbPress plugin browser: Recent Plugins
https://bbpress.org/plugins/rss/
Maybe this is different than what you’re asking for.
To see this work go to http://koma-inu.org/bbpress/
Do not log in.
Firefox or Safari have a rss button. An interal site sould get the same results.
This will only work on page you can navigate to. It will not dig.
Does the idea of RSS and private forums make sense? Is there a way to be “logged” in when getting RSS feeds? I don’t use RSS so I don’t know. I do know that none of my users use RSS because I use bbpress on an internal company site. So, I diables rss for the meantime by renaming my rss.php file.
I would love for someone to shed some light on all this.
with css?? must be missing something… verteran with wp… but noob with bbpress…
havent yet figured out how to tell if the link is visited or not visited in bbpress… might be this third glass of wine though…
most definitely understand the comment about work…
thanks…
Mr Papa
Greetings! So I recently upgraded to the latest version of BBPress and for whatever reason, Me (KeyMaster) and all my mods are marked as bozos. I was doing some reading and there is supposed to be a checkbox in the admin panel to check wether or not a user is a bozo right? In my admin panel, there is no checkbox, just an area to enter a number and me and my mods are listed as 1. Trying to change it to 0 doesn’t have any effect. Is there a fix for this? Thanks!
As for the centralized wiki, bbPress is going to change so rapid with major upgrades that the developers have opted to stay out of that idea until we are well into more substantial releases.
I will admit that I plan on helping Pro Forum as much as possible because it is a site dedicated to bbPress, but really doesn’t have to be affiliated with bbPress at all. Later on, if it turns out to be a great resource for bbPress users, it will get around on its own. These things take time to play themselves out.
But like I said before, this really isn’t a support issue and is best discussed in the dev lists.
Trent
Speaking only as an interested observer with nothing to gain beyond a better piece of GPL software, I can’t see anything wrong with the idea, except that if there’s a link for one site, then egalitarian spirit would dictate that there should be a link to every site that claimed to be supportive; so then there’s a need to create some kind of criteria for worthy sites, then the list has to be maintained, or it’s of little worth, etc. etc.
So, what’s needed therefore, perhaps, is wiki.bbPress.org where such discussion and linkage can naturally live and die without too much administrative overhead.
I’m wondering if maybe somewhere in the extend area of the bbPress site we might be able to add a link to the Pro Forums website (click my name-link thing). While you may think this is only shameless self-promotion, I assure you my intentions are better. I think that, if you are someone who isn’t quite as addicted to the bbPress forums and doesn’t sniff around the plugins area every second for new bits to come out, and doesn’t spend Saturdays looking at bbPress bug reports, it can sometimes be difficult to really keep up on all that is new with bbPress, and thus a little less user-friendly then one could hope for. That’s where Trent and my site comes in. We keep track of all that’s going on in the bbPress galaxy and slim it down so John Doe can keep track. So, I guess in conclusion, I’m wondering if you might be able to add a link to the Pro Forums site (proforums.palmansworld.com) in my efforts to spread the word and get more people involved with bbPress. I won’t be offended if the answer is no, by the way, so don’t worry.
