Any particular procedures for upgrading? Or just install on top?

[spencerp]

I was wondering if someone could throw together a plugin that would have an option in the admin area to clear BOZO users. Most people don’t mind having thousands of users register for their forum, as they don’t hurt anything being a bozo, but with the integration with WP, all Bozo’s are moved over to WP.

That forces me to delete the users anyway. 99% of new registrations are BOZO, so I figure that I would like a simple “Click Here” to delete all the users in admin. That or just use cron to call a file that deletes bozo users. I was working on it myself, but seemed to hit a bit of a snag.

The best option would be to edit the bbpress-integration.php plugin to not bring BOZO’s over to WP. That would mean editing it to not register anyone that is a bozo. That or register them and immediately delete them.

Any help would be appreciated!

Also, it would help if your bbPress version was a fairly recent one (≥ 561). You can get a “561” folder at http://sostomates.fr/projets/bbpress/bbpress.zip

Any of you php/mySQL whizkids out there wanna see if you can make this script work with invision power board? I only know enough php to be dangerous and know my limits well enough to know that trying to do this (for me) would be a big, big timewaster.

I’d be willing to dish out a bit of cash to anyone who wants to play.

I’ll supply the ipb db for you to play with.

The speed difference is negligable.

I would always use bb_get_option() so that a “power-user” can softcode the option value into the $bb variable if they want to avoid the extra database hits. bb_get_option_from_db() is mostly useful when you want to override data that has been softcoded (which probably isn’t very often).

PS: bb_get_option() is the function, ‘bb_get_option_{blah}’ is the filter.

bb_get_option( ‘my_option’ ) grabs the value for my_option and filters it through anything you’ve defined in the ‘bb_get_option_my_option’ filter. The filter is probably pretty useless for data that plugins store since you probably won’t have to modify on the fly the data that you provided in the first place.

The filter may be useful for data the core bbPress provides (you might want to filter ‘bb_get_option_page_topics’, for example, so that whenever bbPress core calls bb_get_option( ‘page_topics’ ), you can modify the returned value on the fly).

Here’s some info: https://bbpress.org/blog/2007/01/bbpress-options-api/

You shouldn’t access the data from the tables directly. It’s possible that at some point we’ll change where the data is stored, so use the API

While waiting for someone who knows, look at So10’s Private Forum plugin because that call is used there as the plugin was developed for Trac Version of bbPress (now .74)

Finally i solved the little problem that plugin had and it’s now available for download. This lugin will add a quickyags tollbar to every textarea for insertin/editing posts.

It support the IMG tag too that need the specific plugin to support inclusion for external images.

You can download it at:

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

This will be fixed in the next release (.80).

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Much anticipated (and much delayed!), it’s finally here.

As an aside, I’ve not been in the forums much this last month due to excessive travel and holidays. I hope to be more accessible now that I’m back.

[thomasklaiber]

Hehe … which bbpress version are you using? Stable release or trac version?

If you’re using the stable version (0.73), line 48 should look like this:

add_action('init', 'online_update');

Just a thought …

The thing with the time, 5 minutes and 1 hour is something different The 5 minutes are the timeout for inactivity … so if you inactive for more then 5 minutes, you’re not longer displayed as online.

The one hour thing was to let the plugin work on my board, I think there seems to be a little problem with the timezones. Just try removing it … the -3600 and see if it works then.

cheers.

[so1o]

i suggest you report it.. we can track it..

Ah thumbs up, it also fixes a css bug but it isn’t this one: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/420?replies=8 Do I have to report this or is this also fixed?

Well can’t wait till the release (date??), keep up the good work!!!

Thanks for the kind words! bbPress is great! Funny thing is 0.74 might come out this afternoon…..

Thanks for the reply. I thought the spam filtering out was most likely yahoo’s fault. I honestly don’t think any of my problems are related to bbpress, and maybe more likely my cheapo hosting!

I have another installation of bbpress on another domain and it seems to work ok.

I’m thinking of looking into linking up with wordpress as well because I have used it before and really like it. Any my forum seems to be functioning which is the main thing and I’m happy I found bbpress for it!

[chrishajer]

Very nice summary so1o. Thank you. Now I need to document the changes I made to .73 and make sure I carry them over into .74

[ardentfrost]

Users being ACTUALLY deleted looks like the only big change I’ll have to make on a plugin.

[so1o]

the existing themes will be compatible.

for plugins: there is one change to the hook ‘init’. if the plugin used ‘init’ hook that will have to be changes to use the ‘bb_init’ hook

[bbolman]

Thanks so much for that.

[d3x7r0]

Will our existing themes be compatible or willl we need to make changes btw?

[so1o]

Here are some of the enhancements made to the system since 0.73

Ok first post and I’m going to start by saying having only been using bbpress for 2 days I think its great, and just what I was looking for in appearance for a forum ie clutterfree and simple.

I am no expert on this but I’ll try and explain a problem I am having with registration emails. It may not be anything to do with bbpress but I’m hoping someone here may have the experience to help.

PROBLEM: User register seems to be fine and the mysql database is filled with their details. They get the email. All ok. However, if I try to create a different user with the same email (I’m doing this for testing) I never seem to get a registration email. Does bbpress do a check to see if a email address is already being used? I don’t seem to get this problem if a create users with an email address at the domain the forum is hosted. Also if I have an account and use the forgotten password recovery I find I get the email to generate a new password but don’t see the email with the new password.

On top of this yahoo seems to be picking up the registration email as spam, I don’t know if this is normal.

I hope this isn’t too long winded. If anyone has any thoughts I’d love to hear them. I know people are registering with my forum and using it so it does work! But they all have individual passwords. Thanks!

If you download bbPress again and unzip it locally, you can compare the directory structure. Above, I listed the top level directory only, but there are folders with more files in them. I suspect your folders and files did not make it up intact. I would list all the files from my install, but it’s a pretty long list and would be a mess to display. If you download bbPress again just to compare listings, I think you will see the problem.

Download

Basically, it’s the files within the subfolders that are missing (I think).
