It was a legal thing that stemmed from their split with YABB (they used to be YABBSE) and people taking their code and claiming it was theirs. How rude! YABB, by the way, stored passwords in CLEAR TEXT at the time that all went down. I think it was 8 years ago?

Anyway, it’s not an inability, it was a decision based on a bunch of jerks. They’re good coders, and decent peoples.

Thanks for the code John Half the results but it actually could solve the 404 problem.

However, adding a get_settings(‘home’) to the search form makes this search;

/wordpress/wordpress/bbpress/?s=

I had in mind that perhaps anybody developed a wordpress plugin that could search both, wp and bb and then display the results, first all the wp entries and next all the bb entries.

Or maybe a conditional in the wp template where I placed wp searcher; first the wp searcher with anything similar to John’s get_settings(‘home’) and then a conditional; if this is bbpress then use bbpress searcher and append the results. I already have a function to create bb conditionals in wp;

function is_bbpress() {

global $bb;

return $bb ? true : false;

}

There is another search plugin for bbPress that appends a WordPress search to the bbPress search.

I wanted all the contrary a wp plugin that appends bb results at the end of the search.

BTW, after finding the searcher issue I realized that 404 templates need integration too.

You might want to create a static page outside of your bbPress installation that still uses the matching header and footer you have in bbPress. Well it’s very easy.

Make yourself a directory above bbPress with any name you’d like, let’s say “/about/”

In “/about/” make an index.php with this content:

<?php

require('../forums/bb-load.php');    // change /forums/ to your actual forum path

add_action('bb_head','about_css');

include(bb_get_active_theme_uri()."header.php");



function about_css() {   //  put any custom CSS you want in here

echo '<style>

img {border:0;}

</style>';

}

?>



<h3 class="bbcrumb"><a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> &raquo; About</h3>



<h2>About</h2>



Your "about" text goes here!



<?php  include(bb_get_active_theme_uri()."/footer.php"); ?>

[John James Jacoby]

Using deep integration, if you load the WordPress search box into the header of bbPress, you can still search WordPress alone if you use something like

<form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">

This way the search form is using the WordPress root directory as it’s destination rather than trying to redirect to a bbPress file.

As far as a unified search solution, the problem there really then becomes which engine do you use to display the results, WP or BBP? Either way it requires a plug-in on that relative side of the equation. It’s certainly possible, but you’re only making 50% of your audience happy at that point, because the other 50% will want it the other way.

vannak, 10 seconds is very bad (the time is independent of where you access it from)

chrishajer, something’s not right there, Windows must think you don’t have access rights to write to the directory. Whatever Windows’s equal to chmod has to be done.

According to php.net the chmod in php actually does do something on some windows setups.

So try replacing this line, like so:

$file=dirname(__FILE__)."/test.txt"; $h=fopen($file, "wb"); fclose($h); chmod($file, 0777 );

[Sam Bauers]

Just found out that entities behave really strangely in bbPress. For some reason the standard behaviour is to take unencoded entities and encode them when editing a post.

[chrishajer]

Ah, sorry. The URL button specifically. Missed that.

[chrishajer]

I needed to change the /test.txt to \test.txt, but even once that was done, I get this error (prior to this, the filename and path were not right):

Warning: file_put_contents(Hosting123456htmlgodaddytesttest.txt) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Hosting123456htmlgodaddytestdefault.php on line 9

I tried to post 1&1 and it comes up 1&1.

edit Dec 20, 2008:

this is fixed so the comment above looks like there was never anything wrong

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Vbulletin makes me want to cry, regularly. I used to use Invision (someone else paid for it) but their templating system made every upgrade a two day project. SMF similarly, though the code is much easier. That ain’t saying much

Not that I think bbPress is perfect. If I had to pick anything but bbPress, I’d do SMF.

[johnnydoe]

thank’s a ton ck, that was the right one, with a little <?php else : ?> modification of course

helpful as usual.

@Ipstenu

nope a button was really necessary, but thanks anyways

[_ck_]

Sam this is still broken. See the previous post. there are &38;‘s all over the site.

[_ck_]

Very nice and clean. Needs a tiny splash of color. Topic Icons plugin should do it

[_ck_]

You almost have it. Try it this way:

<?php if (bb_is_user_logged_in()) : ?>

<li id="register_now"><a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>register.php" class="pagelink">Join Now</a></li>

<?php endif; ?>

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

And using <?php login_form(); ?> to show login info with the register link won’t do?

[_ck_]

Make a directory called test, go in there and put this version of the script in there:

<?php

/*

Experimental NFS detector - upload this file to server and chmod 777

Script should take less than one second to run.

If it takes more than one second, then it's likely NFS (or Windows or a bad configuration)

Any error means the time is unreliable as the script has failed.

*/

error_reporting(E_ALL);

$file=dirname(__FILE__)."/test.txt"; file_put_contents($file,'');

$time=strtok(microtime(),' ')+strtok('');

for ($i=0; $i<=9999; $i++) {if (touch($file)) {clearstatcache(); filemtime($file);} else {break;}}

echo ((strtok(microtime(),' ')+strtok(''))-$time)." seconds";

?>

[_ck_]

I am changing the behavior to be more intuitive.

If they have highlighted text, it will create a link for them by just asking for the link.

If there is no highlighted text, it will first ask for the link, then it will ask for the text for the link.

Replace this function by with it’s one new line in BBcode-Buttons.js

function edInsertLink(i, defaultValue) {

if (!defaultValue) {defaultValue = 'http://';}

if (!edCheckOpenTags(i)) {

var URL = prompt('Enter the URL' ,defaultValue);

if (URL) {BBcodeButtons.tagStart = ''; edInsertTag(i);}

if (edCheckOpenTags(i)) {var myValue = prompt('Enter the text for the link', ''); edInsertContent(myValue); edInsertTag(i);}

}

else {edInsertTag(i);}

}

Or download 0.0.8 shortly.

[_ck_]

No I think they mean specifically the URL button.

I see the problem too.

Investigating…

Okay the problem is you either have to highlight text you want to make into a link, or finish the link with the close URL button again. And there has to be text within the . I guess I need to make it less sensitive/work more intuitively.

[chrishajer]

@fernandot: this worked fine for me. I see the buttons and used them and it works just fine. See my test post. Firefox 3.0.5

On a Windows server (GoDaddy) there isn’t such a thing as 777 permissions is there? It looks like 777 in my FTP client anyway, even though they’re not shown as such.

I get this error there:

Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Utime failed: Permission denied in Hosting123456htmlgodaddynfs.php on line 9

0.00044894218444824 seconds

This is a GoDaddy Windows hosting account.

[Fernando Tellado]

Same problem. I see the markups but doesn’t work

[johnnydoe]

hello,

i’d like to add an extra register button to the frontpage of bbpress, i tried the following code, but i had no luck (not to mention that my php knowledge is more than just basic)

<?php if ($user->user_exists != 0) : ?>

<li id="register_now"><a href="register.php" class="pagelink">Join Now</a></li>

<?php endif; ?>

thanks a bunch

[_ck_]

Well we don’t need to pinpoint exactly the server configuration as the timing will never be exactly the same twice on the same machine. But it will be within a very close range. What we are looking for are times that are way beyond one second.

I’ll do some more digging over the weekend against some of the more popular hosts.

I want to see it run on godaddy though. That will be interesting. I’m sure I can find a good discount coupon code to get the first month very cheap so I’ll give that a go if so.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Turns out mine aren’t the same (exactly).

Server 1

Operating system 	Linux

Apache version 	1.3.41 (Unix)

PERL version 	5.8.8

[_ck_]

They could find someone else to run it.

Or some hosts have a free trial period (though that is less and less thanks to spammers).

Your linux desktop is why it is so fast.

So my theory is right, under 1 second is excellent, around 1 second is good.

Anything much higher is suspect.

But I need more NFS candidates, will have to see if I have access on some of these old servers.

Let’s see if I can run it on NearlyFreeSpeech.

Aha! They are NFS. 13.26 seconds

For those that get an error even when the file is chmod 777, you’ll have to create a testing directory and move the file into there. Then chmod 777 the directory and change the first line to

error_reporting(E_ALL); $file=dirname(__FILE__)."/test.txt"; file_put_contents($file,''); $time=strtok(microtime(),' ')+strtok('');
