lingmiester, I looked through the code and I didn’t see anything that sends email to anyone. I did see a “joke” about sending the emails to spammers though.

Is there any update on this, or newer script for importing phpbb2 ?

[tomwi]

figured this out!

but can’t get the damn code to post right. if anyone is interested let me know how to post a code snipplet without the forum eating it… it outputs like this:

*post title*

Posted by: *user* in *forum*.

[John James Jacoby]

This is how phpBB already works.

I think its a good idea though.

[frooyo]

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?

Come on, there has to be a way to do this!

It worked fine for me with the current stable release, but the login was broken, so I installed the unstable. The login started working, but wp_head() stopped.

bb-config.php:

include('../wp-config.php');



/**

* The base configurations of bbPress.

*

* This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix,

* Secret Keys and bbPress Language. You can get the MySQL settings from your

* web host.

*

* This file is used by the installer during installation.

*

* @package bbPress

*/



// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //

/** The name of the database for bbPress */

define('BBDB_NAME', 'bbpress');

bb-templateskakumeifront-page.php:

<?php get_header(); ?>

... page ...

<?php get_footer(); ?>

[tomwi]

right now I am using:

echo "<li><a>topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a>Posted by: <a>topic_poster."'>".$result->topic_poster_name."</a> in </li>";

[chrishajer]

Are the functions capitalized in the same manner? Windows doesn’t seem to care about capitalization, but Linux does. I’ve had that trouble with WordPress plugins before, where it seems the plugin was developed on Windows and the function was called

function DoThis() {, so calling dothis() stops working on Linux where it was fine on Windows.

Could that be a possibility?

[martenk]

Started running bbpress 1.0-Alpha6 recently on a productionsite… Probably a bad idea but everything seems to work… A few plugins that don’t work but other than that it’s all good!

[joshposh]

I found out that the CSS class for the definition of the pagination was missing in the CSS file of the theme. I’ve added it but can’t figure out how to change the space between the page numbers. I tried padding, margin and letter-spacing and they all worked for the text (“next” & “previous”) but not for the page numbers

EDIT: OK, works now but looks still stupid *sigh*

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

http://www.mysite.com/

but to

http://www.mysite.com/“

[walkerevans]

The forum isn’t “inside” the blog. The templates are all just set up to look the same across the site.

[deadlyhifi]

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.

[chrishajer]

I am going to take a SWAG:

SimplePie supports RFC 822, RFC 2822, RFC 3339, and ISO 8601 datestamps. My guess is Magpie does as well. I would start by trying a RFC 2822 timestamp.

[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() . '&amp;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() . '&amp;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() . '&amp;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]

[bean_zj]

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?

[mrc2407]

Ipstenu: I still have the same problem. I’ve checked if KEY strings matched, and they do.

WP KEY:

define('AUTH_KEY', 'this is my key');

bbPress KEY:

define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'this is my key');

I’ve tried th change “BB_AUTH_KEY” (bbPress KEY) to “AUTH_KEY”, but it still doesn’t work…

[_ck_]

Looks like the forum ate your code but to display the forum name when you only have the id, you can use the built in bbpress functions

echo get_forum_name($result->forum_id);

or

echo "Posted by $result->topic_poster_name in ".get_forum_name($result->forum_id);

or

echo "Posted by <a href='".bb_get_profile_link($result->topic_poster)."'>$result->topic_poster_name</a>

in <a href='".get_forum_link($result->forum_id);."'>".get_forum_name($result->forum_id)."</a>";

[tomwi]

also, I got this far… just not sure how to get the forum name, since only the forum ID is listed in this table… not sure how I pull the otehr table and combine the two.

echo "

<li><a>topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a>Posted by: ".$result->topic_poster_name.".</li>

";

[martenk]

As for linking to the forum from the blog like as if it was a page it’s just a matter of installing this plugin: http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/page-links-to/

Works great.

[slambert1971]

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.

[Ben L.]

Delete the plugin, just put <input name="remember" type="hidden" id="quick_remember" value="1" /> in your login-form.php file.

[joshposh]

Hm, I don’t know if I have PHP error logs somewhere to be honest, I’m not that good with that stuff, sorry xD

I just looked into the cPanel of my Server and it has a few logs but nothing related to PHP.

Ah, well, it’s not that important anyways since everything is actually working as far as I can tell, I just thought I could ask if it’s a bug or feature

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

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.

[virginiagirl]

You’re right – I think when I hid the top header it also removed the Login/Logout buttons. Do you know what code in the PHP file controls these buttons? I know I didn’t delete any of the PHP code, I just applied display:none to the CSS file.
