<?php if( #conditional# ) {

//some code

} ?>

Unfortunately determining if this is the last page is a little bit difficult. You need code like this (taken from template-functions.php):

global $page, $topic;

$add = topic_pages_add();

$last_page = get_page_number( $topic->topic_posts + $add );

if( $page == $last_page ) {

//some code

}

which is way more code than it should be. You should be able to use (but can’t yet)

if( bb_last_page() ) {

// some code

}

so I’m submitting a trac ticket so that hopefully in the next version you can do that.

In your case, the // some code should be:

print( '<h2 class="post-form">POST A REPLY</h2>' );

Worth noting, in PHP strings (ie. text in code) are marked by opening and closing with ' or ". If you open a string with ' then " will be ignored and the other way round, too. So you could have used

print( "<h2 class='post-form'>POST A REPLY</h2>" );

Also in PHP functions have to be like this: function_name( #arguments );

where #arguments can be things like a string, or a variable you set earlier. Some functions do without the brackets but all of them work fine with brackets, so it’s best to always use them.

thanks a lot, fel!

It’ll be interesting to see it. (“You have reached the download-limit for free-users. Wait 55 minutes”

I guess ‘>’ in front of every _paragraph_.

[tisme]

you can also see an endless related thread on [wp-hackers] Re: Blogroll, Bookmarks, Links?

I’d say something like: “Add/[book]Mark/Save this topic as your watched thread/to the list of your watched threads”.

OT: what are reasons/purpose of:

'name' => __('Key Master'),

'capabilities' => array(

...

'edit_others_favorites' => true,

is it ethical?

[Sam Bauers]

You’ll need to dig into the the index.php file in the root of the code (not a template file). All the prep to retrieve the forums from the database is done there.

Hmm. Still don’t know about a name. Ignore the name there and upload, activate.

In addition to what I said last post,

*bolded stuff* => bolded stuff

_italic words_ => italic words

**notbold** => *notbold*

__notitalic__ => _notitalic_

link@http://somerealurl… => link

“link text blah”@http://somerealurl… => link text blah

#, *, -, (1, 2, 3), (a, b, c) => <ul/ol><li> .... </li> .... </ul/ol> (Numbers, letters need to be in order. Any punctuation after it will also be accepted.)

>>Name[post#] => >> Name

(Not italicised or bolded in: u*blah*, _ blah_)

I believe that covers everything. I’ll have a look at Markdown, see if it does anything cool that I’d want too.

The last one is pretty neat but mostly for another plugin that I have on my site that’s also unreleased. Might ask for plugin space for that one now I guess.

Oh, also worth noting that standard behaviour for this plugin is ‘compiling’ the text when the post is saved. That means that it doesn’t make your forum any slower (all the work is done when the post is saved) and that if at any point you remove this plugin, old posts written with it will look exactly the same so you can do that anytime without problems.

[Edit] Markdown is … complicated. When I wrote this, I wrote it to go along with bbPress, so it’s a lot simpler. It doesn’t support stuff like paragraphing because bbPress already does that. And I wrote it so you wouldn’t have to remember anything, but so that the stuff you’d write anyway is formatted nice. No need to think what the syntax is or anything like that. I like what it did with blockquotes. I’ll put in some syntax for blockquotes, even if having to put > in front of every line sounds tiresome. But what do people think about italicising or bolding inside words? I took it out to avoid unintentional formatting, but Markdown has it in (for stuff like un*fucking*believable) and now I’m not so sure.

[fel64]

I wrote a plugin to do that. Just upload and activate this.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Page &raquo;

Plugin URI:

Description: Adds &raquo; to the end of topic titles, linking to latest post.

Author: fel64

Version: 0.7

Author URI: http://www.loinhead.net/

*/



if (!function_exists('is_tags')) {

function is_tags()

{

return is_tag();

}

}



if (is_front() || is_forum() || is_tags()) {

add_filter('topic_title', 'fel_addlatestlink', 101);

}



function fel_addlatestlink($title)

{

global $topic;

$felgtlpl = get_topic_last_post_link($topic->topic_id);

$title = $title . ' <a href="' . $felgtlpl . '">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;</a>';



return $title;

}

?>

[tisme]

hello fel,

some name suggestions:’bbMark’, ‘markMini’ etc and possible permutations

italic, bold, blockquote and link is basically what I need.

ck removed a lot of filters, I’ve tried remove them too — works better, but his plugin is for admin user level, isn’t it?

I just can’t dig it: how do I encode HTML back to Markdown at ‘edit_text’?

PS a bit of documentation on “bbPress text flow” (something like: http://www.michelf.com/img/blog/wordpress1.5-text-flow.png) wont hurt

[M]

And here I imagined the secret to be some way to transport chocolate through the internet! This is good too . . . just not as good.

[Trent Adams]

1) I would ‘t worry about the plugins to help out if you need it (small percentage) as they are intended to get it fixed which will eventually make it into the core. Those plugins would only require minor changes if something was changed in bbPress, but I doubt it would happen often.

2) I had great luck with the phpbb converter myself and have stated in one of the threads which one I used. I would just look around a bit before choosing one.

3) Since the upgrade process is so easy, there is no need to wait! As well, the changes scheduled for the next series of releases are small changes and no worth waiting for!

4) So1o just released a new version of the private forums plugin that is exceptional and recently addressed the problems with the RSS feed being private. It is found in the ‘extend’ tab of this forum in the plugin browser!

5) fel64 is absolutely right. mdawaffe is the head dev and he is working on wordpress code at the same time. They will always be compatible as they are working toward more shared function (at least not conflicting). Issues will be worked out as we go, but shouldn’t be a problem.

Thanks,

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Please let me know what you would charge to make these changes.

Please don’t do that people! Contact stuboo through their website or if you are reading this stuboo, leave a contact address as we don’t want to use the forums as a place to bid or bidding wars.

Trent

[fel64]

1. Some dudes do, yeah. But it seems to be a minority; who can tell? Maybe bbPress does just have a few new users a week

2. Haven’t seen one. Believe there was some trouble with older converters somebody dug up.

3. New version is in development, and I expect there will be new versions in development for a while. Don’t let that stop you getting it now. There’s no release planned for the next week as far as I know.

4. It’s not in the core and there’s no indication that’s what’s being worked on right now. It’d have to be a plugin. Last I read they fixed their RSS problems? It will say in the plugin topic, anyway.

5. It’s one of the wp devs that’s developing bb at the moment. They all work for the same small company. I don’t think one release would ever break the other.

[fel64]

How did you do it on front-page? I reckon code like this (taken direct from kakumei’s front-page) should work everwhere but I haven’t tried it – if you already have, sorry.

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

<h2><?php _e('Forums'); ?></h2>

<table id="forumlist">



<tr>

<th><?php _e('Main Theme'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Topics'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>

<tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><small><?php forum_description(); ?></small><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>

<td class="num"><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</table>

<?php endif; // bb_forums() ?>

If it doesn’t work, chuck <?php bb_forums(); ?> somewhere before it and try again.

[fel64]

I don’t know. But do you know about the plugin I wrote that does things similar to markdown? No. No you don’t. Because I haven’t mentioned it yet. Basically it lets you italicise, bolden, and link in a very elegant way (although I think syntax-wise slightly different way to markdown). It respects code and it auto-converts the lists you only wrote casually (list items starting with #, -, *, (1, 2, 3 …), (a, b, c …)) into proper HTML. If I could think of a goddamned name I would have uploaded it yesterday. But it is a different, very likely smaller feature set to Markdown, and if you need Markdown then that’s no use at all to you. If you’re interested I’m happy to provide a copy of the script.

Have you tried these filters ck removed? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-plugin-admin-post-anything Check for the last post because he made some changes, but those should be all.

[tisme]

which bb filters ($tag, $func, $prio) I need to add/remove to get working [**PHP Markdown**]( http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/ )?

quick and dirty:

---

remove_filter('pre_post', 'balanceTags');



add_filter('pre_post', 'Markdown', 1);

---

doesn’t seem to be sufficient as HTML tags should be converted back to Markdown while ‘edit_text’, also extraneous P elements (paragraphs) ought to be stripped off.

does it require anything else?

PS and yes, I know about A.King’s ‘Quick Tags’.

[gh3]

i have just tried to contact him by irc, but he was afk

btw if you have got his email, try to send him a mail to ask for this

[_ck_]

We probably need to email mdawaffle and have them add me to the move-it plugin

I think I have the email address around here somewhere or maybe Trent can do it?

[papadoc]

Fel,

I’ve managed to get the plugins mostly working, although not entirely well… but I’m asking for help on those in their relevant forums.

As far as that code goes, it still works fine as far as displaying the last poster, but the profile link still isn’t working… Although I think we’re moving in the right direction, as now instead of linking to a fault page, or the forum index, it’s just not showing a link at all.

[kjted]

Hi fel. I’ll post up later today the process I went through. I’ll get the latest version of the class right now! Thanks for the heads up.

I’ve also done some work with CodeIgniter and Flash integration which I’ll post a link to later in case anyone does CI development (off topic I know but still valuable).

[fel64]

I can’t remember which version added what, but make sure to activate your plugins in bb-Admin/Site Management or they won’t work.

Try this:

<?php $user = bb_get_user( topic_last_poster() );

get_user_profile_link( $user->ID ); ?>

You can make it one line if you want but you need those semicolons.

[papadoc]

Sheesh, okay, I did that already. Before you even posted.

It didn’t fix my problem but on the other hand, it DID make the dashboard nicer.

Oh, and broke at least one of the key plugins on the site

But yeah, ultimately, I will always upgrade, when I realise there IS an upgrade.

Want to know something interesting? Now, instead of a link to a broken page, the displayed names of the most recent poster ALL link back to my forum address, apparently regardless of the user… Any suggestions?

[silverwing]

I’ll admit I’m not that great a coder, so I may have done something wrong when I tried bb_load_template(). I’ll try again later and see, since having the whole address isn’t the best solution.

[fel64]

Oh, sorry. Yeah. I getchoo. Yes. The filter you want to use is bb_title. The way filters work is that you tell bbpress what you want to filter, bbpress gives you the input and you return the output. In this case:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Title Modifier

Author: You

*/

add_filter('bb_title', 'titlemodify');



function titlemodify( $title ) {

//your code that does something to $title;

return $title;

}

?>

Paste this into an empty text file, save it as whateveryouwant.php, edit the code so it actually does something with $title, then upload and activate.

[fel64]

Coolio. Few problems recently (apart from Sneaky ) so I uploaded. No topic for it yet but I expect there will be at https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/56

[Edit] And it is! Rate it please

[fel64]

It is funkin’ brilliant. I hope you downloaded the latest release ( https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk, at the bottom of the page is the Zip Archive link to the latest) because it has a bunch of fixes and changes.

Can you detail anything you had to do to make it work, for future people who want to do this stuff?

[fel64]

This means their bbpress login will mysteriously fail.

No it won’t. No matter what cookies users have, they will not prevent them logging in.

schmitt, must say I really liked your site. Not at all interested in things financial but it was engaging nonetheless.

You could put these lines at the top of your bb-login.php:

header('Location: http://www.example.com/');

exit;

Obviously changing the URL to that of your wp-login.php. I don’t know how else you’d do that. This may have all sorts of crazy adverse effects because I haven’t tried it myself; maybe ck can say how he did it?
