I believe I have a simple but highly effective fix.
Since the vast majority of forum traffic is for non-logged in users AND, since the only time a forum page changes is if a POST is made … why not implement a very basic disk caching system that caches the content for the FrontPage and Topic page for non-logged in users.
Here is the pseudo code:
// Front page
if (not logged in)
…….. serve disk cache
…………….if (disk cache not present)
……………………generate page and save to disk
else (logged in user)
……..generate page (PHP)
// Topic page
if (not logged in)
……..serve disk cache
……..if (disk cache not present)
…………….generate page and save to disk
else (logged in user)
……..generate page (PHP)
// post a comment function
delete Topic cache for non-logged in users
delete Front page cache for non-logged in users
The benefit being, now for any non-logged in user – the Front page and individual Topic pages will be cached once some submits a new comment.
And if you are logged in, non of this effects you.
Thoughts?
I can’t add links in posts properly

When I try to add a link I do it like that:
<a href="http://www.mysite.com/">My Site</a>but the link generated by bbPress in the post isnt linking to
but to
I would like to modify the bb_list_tags to show who the author of that tag was (to moderators)
So I created a functions.php in my theme and have copied function bb_list_tags from functions.bb-templates.php file. And done the following (note the changes to the function have not yet been made)
<?php
// to override bb_list_tags to show tag author
remove_filter('bb_list_tags', 'bb_list_tag');
function bb_list_tag( $args = null ) {
$defaults = array(
'tags' => false,
'format' => 'list',
'topic' => 0,
'list_id' => 'tags-list'
);
$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );
if ( !$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $topic ) ) )
return false;
if ( !is_array($tags) )
$tags = bb_get_topic_tags( $topic->topic_id );
if ( !$tags )
return false;
$list_id = attribute_escape( $list_id );
$r = '';
switch ( strtolower($format) ) :
case 'table' :
break;
case 'list' :
default :
$args['format'] = 'list';
$r .= "<ul id='$list_id' class='tags-list list:tag'>n";
foreach ( $tags as $tag )
$r .= _bb_list_tag_item( $tag, $args );
$r .= "</ul>";
endswitch;
echo $r;
}
add_filter('bb_list_tags', 'bb_list_tag');
?>Is this the correct way to change a core function? Changing anything within it doesn’t appear to override the original function.
Topic: Change Design of Pagination
[Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, I couldn’t find a better one]
I know it a lot to ask but could someone help me with a short piece of code please? I never worked with PHP and would like to insert a bit of HTML into a piece pf PHP. I would really appreciate any help.
The Problem:
I have some not so web savvy users at my board and I’d like to make the pagination of threads better to see for them.
At the moment it’s kinda tiny and has no spaces between the page numbers for some strange reason.
(Screenshot of how it looks at my board: http://f.imagehost.org/0070/toosmall.png)
I guess I found the place to change it in the post-template.php
$output = '';
if ( $multipage ) {
if ( 'number' == $next_or_number ) {
$output .= $before;
for ( $i = 1; $i < ($numpages+1); $i = $i + 1 ) {
$j = str_replace('%',"$i",$pagelink);
$output .= ' ';
if ( ($i != $page) || ((!$more) && ($page==1)) ) {
if ( 1 == $i ) {
$output .= '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">';
} else {
if ( '' == get_option('permalink_structure') || in_array($post->post_status, array('draft', 'pending')) )
$output .= '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '&page=' . $i . '">';
else
$output .= '<a href="' . trailingslashit(get_permalink()) . user_trailingslashit($i, 'single_paged') . '">';
}
}
$output .= $link_before;
$output .= $j;
$output .= $link_after;
if ( ($i != $page) || ((!$more) && ($page==1)) )
$output .= '</a>';
}
$output .= $after;
} else {
if ( $more ) {
$output .= $before;
$i = $page - 1;
if ( $i && $more ) {
if ( 1 == $i ) {
$output .= '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . $link_before. $previouspagelink . $link_after . '</a>';
} else {
if ( '' == get_option('permalink_structure') || in_array($post->post_status, array('draft', 'pending')) )
$output .= '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '&page=' . $i . '">' . $link_before. $previouspagelink . $link_after . '</a>';
else
$output .= '<a href="' . trailingslashit(get_permalink()) . user_trailingslashit($i, 'single_paged') . '">' . $link_before. $previouspagelink . $link_after . '</a>';
}
}
$i = $page + 1;
if ( $i <= $numpages && $more ) {
if ( 1 == $i ) {
$output .= '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . $link_before. $nextpagelink . $link_after . '</a>';
} else {
if ( '' == get_option('permalink_structure') || in_array($post->post_status, array('draft', 'pending')) )
$output .= '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '&page=' . $i . '">' . $link_before. $nextpagelink . $link_after . '</a>';
else
$output .= '<a href="' . trailingslashit(get_permalink()) . user_trailingslashit($i, 'single_paged') . '">' . $link_before. $nextpagelink . $link_after . '</a>';
}
}
$output .= $after;
}
}
}
if ( $echo )
echo $output;
return $output;
}And I would like to change the visual output to this
<p><strong> Next Page ></strong></p>for “Next”
and
<p><strong>< Previous Page </strong></p>for “Previous”
Thanks for your time

[and please excuse my poor English xD]
Topic: No Table Prefix, Really
After a successful installation, the main page shows as follow:
” You must specify a table prefix in your bb-config.php file. “
I AM sure my config.php has defined table prefix as follow:
” $bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; “
after I add the code, my main page shows as follow:
” $bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;You must specify a table prefix in your bb-config.php file. “
What is going wrong?
Topic: Adding Theme Pages
I have bbPress 0.9.0.4 up and running and have heavily modified a theme to change the front page, and forum pages. Here is my hierarchy:
Front Page – displays only the top level forums (Parent), but also display sub forums descriptions (Group), then the sub forums of each group (Child) are listed and linked. Looks really cool and is exactly what we need for a project I am working on. I have modified the forum.php to check what type of forum it is (Parent, Group, Child) and load the correct file.
Now, I would like to have a “Hot Topics” page where any item set as “sticky to the top” will list just like they would normally list on the standard home page. Is there a way to set bbpress to load a non-standard file, so like /bbpress/hot-topics.php, which is actually the original forum.php
Hope that hasn’t confused anyone. I have looked around at all the bbPress code to find a hook, action or filter for this, but can’t seem to find it. Thanks.
Topic: Linking Posts to Topics
This isn’t a plugin, it’s a ‘hack’ but I can’t think of where else to put this.
I have blog posts (duh) and I have forum topics that, sometimes, relate. I wanted to have a way to relate the blog posts to say ‘Comment here’ and ‘Forum chat here.’
The solution is stupid easy. I made a custom field in my blog (forum_topic) and then added this to the link with my comments link:
<?php $forum= get_post_meta($post->ID, 'forum_topic', true); if ($forum) : ?><a href="<?php echo $forum; ?>">Forum Topic</a>And now if there’s a related forum topic, I make the custom field, add the link in that field for the post, and it shows up. No topic? No link!
Now if I can do that in reverse, that would be cool… related blog posts to this forum topic.
I have recently migrated my entire phpBB over to bbPress and now want to move the bbPress users into wordpress mu so I can use wordpress integration the problem was that there is no easy way to migrate and check the users aren’t doubling up…
I wrote a simple php script to do just that and it allowed me to list out the users where manual attention is required, it can be run just from the command line like this…. ‘php -f file.php’ and will move the users over perfectly (at least for me)…
Note there has been no testing of this code it worked for me and may cause you issues, back up your database first!
Comments on the code appreciated for future improvement.
