Heh, thanks for the compliment but I am completely self-trained and rather unprofessional in my code (translation: I’d make a mess)

I just seem to have a knack at code, I learn very quickly from examples and can figure out how to apply them. Also, exhaustive hours at hacking pre-2.0 wordpress taught me a lot.

ps. what “serious” issues – I might have a go… maybe…

[_ck_]

Just an untested guess on my part but what you want is something like this?

<a href="/forum/profile.php?id=<? echo $user_ID; ?>">your profile</a>

[_ck_]

Yeah I’ve already hacked the core code to make it say “Track this topic in your forum favorites” to make it sound different than adding to your bookmarks which every site nags the visitors to do and so they ignore it.

Too much hacking needed to change the term “favorites” everywhere unfortunately and it was the first thing I sadly had to touch the core for. After hacking up wordpress so much that I cannot easily upgrade it, I swore not to do that on BBpress, especially since it’s so early in alpha/beta

It’s also going to be a problem eventually that a tracking level is not set for each “favorite”, so now they can only get every topic emailed, or none at all.

When in doubt, study vbulletin as a model I suggest…

This is what i do to solve the problem:

function wpbb_add_user_role_rk($user_id) {

$user = new WP_User($user_id);

$user->set_role(get_option('default_role'));

}

add_action( ‘bb_new_user’, ‘wpbb_add_user_role_rk’);

I would just add this as a request in TRAC because I think that is important as well as I have currently 5 plugins (I know I could combine them to 1) to allow code. Maybe a checkbox in the admin?

Here’s a function I whipped up to grab the number of users who call any particular topic a favorite.

If you don’t send it a topic id, it return the currently displayed topic’s favorite count

function get_topic_favorites_count( $topic_id=0) {

global $bbdb, $topic;

if (!$topic_id) $topic_id = (int) $topic->topic_id;

return $bbdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ".$bbdb->usermeta." WHERE meta_key='bb_favorites' AND meta_value REGEXP ':<:".$topic_id.":>:'");

}

use it this way:

<? echo get_topic_favorites_count(); ?>

within your topic.php template

@Beaver6813:

The error sounds like it’s trying to call the add_action() function when either the file containing the function (wp-functions.php) isn’t included for some reason, or the plugin is being called before it has been included.

I do not know why this might occur, although the fact you are using an integrated WordPress/bbPress combo might be a factor. We really need somebody who knows more about the internals of both system to help.

Anyway, by commenting out the add_action() function all you have done is prevent the plugin from automatically creating an identicon for newly registered users. So, it’s not such a biggie while trying to solve the problem.

Feel free to hack the script however you see fit — I realise I have been rather too strict with the filenames, especially as it is really only a first-stage precaution (the file gets renamed n the server anyway). Also, I believe some browsers add the whole path to the uploaded filename (something I neglected to address).

A solution I am adding to the next version will be to extract the actual filename from the path before checking.

$img_name = basename($img['name']);

Then, the number of necessary characters to allow is greatly reduced. I just prefer to approach it from the other end, block everything except what I explicitly allow. But as I said, feel free to hack it to suit your needs.

I was completely unaware that you could enter a URL into a file input (“browse”) field? You indicate that it forces Windows to download the file, but I am wondering whether it is a browser specific feature and whether it is supposed to work like that? I would not rely on it.

The mime-type comes from the uploaded file in $_FILES which, you are right should not be trusted. I’m experimenting with checking whether the uploaded file is areally an image doing something like imagecreatefromjpeg() – obviously using the appropriate function for the reported file extension (so if it’s all wrong/missing/forged an error will result). Alternatively, a simple solution might be to use getimagesize() (just the one function for all types), which I already use later in the code.

[howtogeek]

I should mention that my code is a horrible hack… hopefully they’ll fix the problem in the core.

Well with wordpress, the override is right in the code but obviously to leave the bbpress core alone it would have to be a plugin. (Kinda wondering what all these plugins are doing to the supposedly high performance of BBpress).

I’d like to see admin/mods have zero limits on what they put into their posts. So to write a plugin I need to find out how to check the user level, then figure out what filter to attach it to (probably pre_post)

[_ck_]

Wow this is a very serious issue – I couldn’t figure out why half my members could not log into the forum! Thought it was a cookie issue, but it was the space!

I suggest this be moved to the integration section and highly recommend to everyone trying to merge BB with WP. I would never have spotted this if it had not been bumped by signpost (who’s code did not solve it unfortunately, I had to use the plugin)

[_ck_]

I found visitors were getting really hassled by the filename restrictions so I decided to relax them while still keeping some safety since you already check mime types & file extensions

instead of:

!eregi("^([-a-z0-9_]+).([a-z]+)$", $img_name)

I reduced it to only exclude the four bad characters I can think of:

eregi("#|?|&|%", $img_name)

What do you think? Safe enough?

Is your mime check from the physical file itself or just the sent headers? Hopefully the physical file or it’s not secure enough.

My change allows people to click browse and enter a url into their file browser, which forces Windows to pull down the file first, then upload it to the site. Not sure what other OS’s will do. Windows adds [1] to the filename in the temp area, so your name filter was blocking it from uploading.

My next ideas are to give lazy people a section of default avatars to choose from instead, and to allow members several stored avatars to chose from (your table should allow multiple entries per member I think, though the code to deal with it will have to be changed of course).

I came across the same problem on a combined wp/bbpress setup.

twas a simple case of changing line 1079, template-functions.php

$r = bb_get_option('uri') . "profile/" . $user->$column . ( 1 < $page ? "/page/$page" : '' ); to $r = bb_get_option('uri') . "profile/" . urlencode($user->$column) . ( 1 < $page ? "/page/$page" : '' );

[_ck_]

Yay! I figured out how to hack it to make it happen.

To leave the core files alone, I did it through a plugin.

The balancetags in bbpress takes less parameters than from WP.

function force_balance_tags($text) { return balanceTags($text, true);}

add_filter('pre_post', 'force_balance_tags');

Tested working.

Another nice addition in there would be to add nofollow to any post links.

add_filter('pre_post', 'bb_rel_nofollow');

[_ck_]

AHA!

I found a bug. Finally I can contribute.

WordPress does indeed auto-close tags and has a fantastic routine, the balancetags I mentioned above.

HOWEVER

it was copied raw into BBpress and it won’t work by default because it’s looking for an option that will never be set because BBpress doesn’t have it

function balanceTags($text, $is_comment = 0, $force = false) {

if ( !$force && get_option(‘use_balanceTags’) == 0 )

return $text;

See what I mean? There’s no manually way to set use_balanceTags in BBpress.

So how do we force the filter on? I know it has to be balanceTags ($text,1,1) to work.

[airdrawndagger]

Awesome! Works perfectly, thank you

[airdrawndagger]

Ok so it won’t type out the code the way I want to here. I did the backsticks thing… But I know someone out there will be able to help me out anyway

[Trent Adams]

It is defined in style.css through the following:

/* Profile Page

=================================== */



#profile-menu {

list-style: none;

position: absolute;

right: 0;

}



#profile-menu li {

font-size: 1.1em;

background-color: #eee;

padding: 4px 7px;

display: inline;

border-top: 3px double #9e9e9e;

position: relative;

top: -10px;

}



#profile-menu li.current {

background-color: #ddd;

border-top: 1px solid #9e9e9e;

}

My guess would be that you have to change the position from absolute to a margin call, but maybe someone else can give you some more hints. I am a trial and error CSS changing kind of guy…..

I’m calling the wp-headers in forum as advised in seamless integration thread. I need to add a link to the forum profile in the header as users get confused when they only see the admin tab for wordpress. I have the loginanywhere script, and need a link to the users profile edit somewhere in this code:

`echo “<div class=’greeting’>nHej, “; echo $user_identity; echo “! Inställningar | “;

echo “Logga utn</div>n”;`

My forum is here: http://www.doublepeace.se/forum/

I’ve got sloppy members not closing their tags and the markup runs through the rest of the page. Doesn’t WP already do auto close on tags? Did bbpress not pick up that part of the code?

[M]

Found the problem, it is indeed a plugin issue (Allow Images), but deactivating the plugin had no effect for some reason and I only saw it when I worked on my test forum and did a fresh install of the plugin. The plugin still works to display images, you just can’t display code.

Will pop over and give the plugin author a heads up.

[M]

After trying to add code between backticks, all I’m left with is something like this:

`

m

`

Instead of:

<img src="http://www.yourimghosthere.com/yourimage.gif" />

Deactivating plugins didn’t fix it, and nothing else has changed other than the upgrade. Is anyone else running into this?

Edit: okay, at least now I know it works on the bbPress forums. I’ve no clue where to look to fix this, can anyone toss out an idea or two?

‘code’ works, so long as I don’t include the brackets around the code I’m trying to show.

You may notice that the table row highlighting doesn’t work in IE (at least in IE 6.0 which many people use)

I found this easy, drop-in solution to use IE’s HTC support

http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html

save this file into your template folder

http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/htc/csshover.htc

then add this to your stylesheet

body {behavior:url("/path-to-your-template/csshover.htc");}

optionally but recommended, you might also want to add this to your .htaccess in apache since it probably won’t serve the right mime type for HTC by default which breaks XP sp2

AddType text/x-component .htc

Now :hover can work on almost anything in IE just like real CSS browsers.

Ah I’ve now learned this is from the moderation plugin which apparently is moderating ALL posts even though it’s set not to

[starrett]

fel, everything seems to be working great except that when I use <?php bbrepliestext(); ?> I get this error message: “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_topic() in /path_to/wp/wp-content/plugins/bbsync/bbsync.php on line 495”

Any suggestions?

[retrospec]

Hello,

After installing the software successfully, all database tables were created ok but when I clicked on the link to login it repeatedly told me the forum software wasn’t installed. On checking I noticed two bizarre things:

1. Although the placeholder topic had been created and other tables populated, the forum table had no entries, it was empty, i.e. it had not created the first forum detailed in the installation to match the topic that was there. Creating a temporary entry with the id of the successfully created made the forum work, but then…

2. When I logged in as the user I created during the installation there was no admin option so I check the user meta table and it was down as ‘member’ and not ‘key master’.

I am using the latest bbPress (downloaded this morning), running php 5.2.3 and mysql 5.0.41. Both are near enough out of the box installations and working fully (the only change to mysql was to set password in legacy mode).

Please help as I can’t do anything!

btw, one other minor question completely unrelated. Why when I look at people’s code listed in forums or hyperlinks, is it chopping off the entry at the end of the line and not wrapping? I’m using firefox, haven’t checked against IE.
