I have bbpress(0.8.2) integration with wordpress(2.2.1).

I did not have any forum management before I add a forum to my previous wordpress website. Number of users are increasing daily. So as I did not have any experience with management of a forum, I have some problems.

In the beginning I installed to standard version of bbpress. After one month of forum experience, I want to add moderation plugin. Because my users are not experienced forum users. I have a range from middle school students to company owners or retired workers.

Some of the users sends strange messages, which I dont want to see on my forum.

Some of them do not allow forum rules. And some of them dont know how to use a forum. Namely when they have a new question, they write “I know it is not related to the subject …”.

I think what I need it to make the all messages for new users, moderated. Or all messages are moderated. I dont know why but the moderation plugin do not work with latest version of bbpress. So I have to uninstall the plugin and make messages un-moderated.

I will also try “move it” plugin, for unrelated messages to subject of message.

But what is the best management style for such a community. I think bbpress.org do not need moderation of messages, because at least its community know how to use a forum.

Is it better, not to waste my time to manage the forum. Namely no moderation to messages or just live what ever people writes to the forum. As I said before this is my first forum, and I also dont want people to use msn-type language usage. Am I fascist ?

Aha, glad I spent an extra couple of minutes searching, as I was about to ask this same question. bbpress looks great btw, I really like the slimline approach.

It was just a conditional that you put around the plugin call in your template that was giving me issues. I removed the conditional call and it worked 100%

So should we hold off on this one then or what?

or are you just causing problems again, Trent?

[drmike]

I thought you guys were?

under_title looks like a pretty lame hook; I doubt you can trust it’s existence in every theme and it may get removed entirely in some later version of bbPress.

If you need to add content to a topic page there, I’d just edit your custom theme.

Sorry I saw that is very simple… you can delete this topic if you want

Am I the only one that notices that that link goes to a blogger blog?

I’ve just set up a bbpress forum and everything seemed to work one day, then the next it stopped. All registrations and new posts would lead to a blank page. I couldn’t find the problem in the code, reinstalled a few times, and eventually I found out it was because of akismet. For some reason, it was flagging new registrations and posts as spam or something. It would leave the page blank, so I never knew what was going on.

I’ve removed the API key from my config.php and everything works fine. My forum is currently unlinked because I’m still setting up. But I would like to get akismet working before the spam hits it

[Trent Adams]

It is built into the code. You could disable the ‘call’ for the feed in topic.php if you really wanted to and/or the files that generate it (rss.php, etc)!

Created a forum using the bbpress along with WP integration.

I’m very surprised of how much of the HTML-markup is part of the bbpress-core and not just kept in the theme code. It is impossible to create a XHTML compatible forum without modifying the core-files. But I guess quirks mode works okay.

*EDIT* Guess I should have created my own thread, but too late now

for some reason this code although works in pulling in WP header/footer i notice that i cannot access the admin, is this the correct code ?

$bb->WP_BB = true;

require_once( ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ );

update: ok i worked it out, needed the full path

Another something I never knew I always wanted! Thanks.

What we really need to know is what code you were running. Would be a strange one if it was the latest release; that sort of problem should affect everybody. I’d also be surprised if that was the latest, but if it was you should be prepared for that. Did you maybe modify that file yourself?

[Sam Bauers]

I suppose that’s OK.

[Rhys Wynne]

No worries Trent, glad you could test this!

I have gone about submitting it (forgot a readme file, it can wait until the morning ), but will include one tomorrow.

[fel64]

Ahh, and, in equal measure, woops.

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.audreysargent.com.net');

should read

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.audreysargent.com');

That .net meant that the cookie could not be set. Sorry.

[Trent Adams]

You guys know that you can start your own threads for your sites right

[fel64]

Thank you very much. I didn’t realise it would be as simple as removing a filter, that’s cool

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

You can use the script attached to that ticket: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/671

It will only work once you upgrade to the next version of bbPress (it’s not out yet ) or if you’re running the “unstable” code in the repository.

Follow the instructions in the last comment.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Make a new file in your my-plugins/ directory with the following code in it. Then activate the plugin in your bbPress’ admin panels.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: No ?replies

Description: Get rid of the ?replies=# ugliness in topic links

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/getting-rid-of-replies

Author: fel64

Version: 1.0

*/



remove_filter( 'get_topic_link', 'bb_add_replies_to_topic_link' );



?>

I have already checked the config.php file for whitespace at the beginning and end, but there was nothing there. Thats all I know to check for that…

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/k/a/h/kahil/html/Your_Kahil/forum/bb-includes/db.php:151) in /home/content/k/a/h/kahil/html/Your_Kahil/forum/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1833

That is what I get for one thing… i get one for line 168 on pluggable.php

I don’t know what to do or what changed…

Please help…

Thank you,

Kahil

[fel64]

Just tried, but haven’t had any of the expected emails in the last few hours. Hopefully it’ll come through soon.

I think I see what you mean. But that’s very strange. Are you logged in? If you are, attempting to access wp-login.php should redirect you to the admin panel – not just in the act of logging in, but whenever anyone that is logged in tries to get there.

Can you check your cookie info? In FF that’s Tools > Options > Privacy > Show Cookies, find cookies for your site and then look at the domain and path settings.

For those of you who have your wordpress and bbpress installs together and would like have the avatars display in the wordpress side as well…

Here is some code you can add… This is what I use in the sidebar over at yourkahil.com

<?php global $user_identity;

get_currentuserinfo();

if ($user_identity == ”) {

echo(‘Welcome Guest’);

} else {

echo(‘<img src=”/forum/avatars/’ . strtolower($user_identity) . ‘” alt=”avatar” />’);

}

?>

This will work if you would like to display the avatar outside of the loop in bbpress as well. All you have to do is change the image source line to reflect where you have your avatars stored…

Hope that helps some people!!!
