I tested the second method on the latest build and it passes the bb_repermalink tests and loads.

I tried using standard URLs and both types of permalinks.

I didn’t try to load a template. I used a file called avatar-upload.php containing the following:

<?php

require_once('./bb-load.php');



bb_repermalink(); // The magic happens here.



echo 'test';

?>

My test plugin contained:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Test for fel64

Plugin URI:

Description: Test profile tab addition

Author: Scooby Doo

Version: 0.0.1

Author URI:

*/



$bb->debug = 1;



function felavatartab()

{

add_profile_tab(__('Avatar'), 'edit_profile', 'moderate', 'avatar-upload.php');

}



add_action( 'bb_profile_menu', 'felavatartab' );

?>

Indeed, would save some work.

[fel64]

Cheers Sam, that’s definitely the way to do it, but I can’t quite make it work. Adding the tab is easy, but following the link dumps you on the front page (if using add_profile_tab()) or in your profile (if adding the tab manually).

function felavatartab()

{

global $profile_menu, $profile_hooks;

$profile_tab = array(__('Avatar'), 'edit_profile', 'moderate', 'avatar-upload.php', 'avatar');

$profile_menu[] = $profile_tab;

if ( can_access_tab( $profile_tab, bb_get_current_user_info( 'id' ), $user_id ) )

$profile_hooks[bb_tag_sanitize($profile_tab[4])] = $profile_tab[3];

}

add_action( 'bb_profile_menu', 'felavatartab' );

OR

function felavatartab()

{

add_profile_tab(__('Avatar'), 'edit_profile', 'moderate', 'avatar-upload.php');

}

add_action( 'bb_profile_menu', 'felavatartab' );

I’ve got the file avatar-upload.php in my root directory, which loads the template avatar.php. If instead you give avatar.php as your argument the tab doesn’t show up at all.

See it here. Any idea?

[fel64]

Depending on if you’ve set up bbPress so that it’s not only integrated but also uses WordPress’s functions when available, I think you can just call the WP function. If it doesn’t work, you need to make a database query along the lines of:

global $bbdb;

$profiledata = $bbdb->get_row( "SELECT meta_value FROM $bbdb->usermeta WHERE meta_key = $theprofiledetail AND user_id = $theuserid");

Where $theuserid and $theprofiledetail are set to whatever you want. Note that $profiledata is worth examining by using print_r($profiledata); or the like, because its format can be confusing. The code might not work, but it’s an idea.

[Vili]

Ok, here’s what I have, commented. The comments that start with “VILI” are mine.

Please keep in mind two things:

a) This is strictly speaking a WordPress plugin, not a bbPress one. The functionality is simply extended to also cover an integrated bbPress installation. (And yes, this means that you need to install this in your WordPress, not your bbPress.)

b) I hacked this for my own purposes, so it may not be pretty, and it certainly won’t be ready for use without you reading through the code. If someone is interested in working to make it functional as an “out of the box” solution, then by all means go ahead.

Finally, the original Dan’s Avatar Thingy can be found here.

bb-Topic-Views keeps track of how many times each topic has been viewed, and then displays the count alongside the title of the topic on the front page, on forums pages, and on tags pages.

The plugin is written in such a way that it does not double-count views when a visitor browses to a different page in the same topic. If no view count record exists for a specific topic, the plugin will create a record for it. Rather than setting the initial view count to zero, the plugin sets it to the number of posts in the topic, because it has obviously been viewed at least as many times as people have posted in it! This is especially nice for adding the plugin to existing bbpress forums so the view count isn’t zero for every single topic.

You can download it here: http://blog.wittmania.com/bb-topic-views

By the way, I’ve only tested this plugin in browser environments where cookies were enabled. This plugin doesn’t set any cookies (directly, anyway), but it does use session variables which are usually passed as cookies. So, if anyone runs into any bugs, please let me know!

I’m also very open to suggestions as to how I could streamline or improve the code. Thanks!

[wittmania]

I am working on a “Topic Views Count” plugin, and I’m just about finished with it. You can see a working version of it here: http://blog.wittmania.com/bbpress/, and see the source code as it is right now here: http://blog.wittmania.com/files/bb-topic-views.txt

The only thing holding me up is this; I can’t figure out a way to keep the views count from including page views. For example, when page one of a topic loads, the view count will go up by one. But, when page two loads it will also go up by one. So, a visitor has only viewed the topic once (albeit they’ve viewed more than one page), but the counter has registered two views).

I know this isn’t a huge deal, and a counter that over-counts is better than no counter at all. Still, I was wondering if anyone would have any ideas. I’d like to avoid using cookies, if possible, because I have no experience with them at all to even know where to start.

Any ideas? I’m also open to any other ideas or suggestions for the rest of the code.

Thanks!

Cheers!

Further hack here, to migrate any comments made to WP posts that have a corresponding bb topic (via the bbPress Post plugin again) as replies to the thread. Unfortunately the date/time won’t be right, it’ll be like a new post just made.

This needs to be installed/activated as a plugin to work, and to prevent it somehow accidentally happening again I suggest you immediately uninstall it. To run it, simply append “?lulz=p” to a URL and it’ll get to work – make sure you only do this once! An interface would be a lot neater, but, well, meh.

At your own risk.

Sorry, I was just trigger happy….force of habit….

[fel64]

I’m glad these still are a pretty place.

I don’t know, closing it isn’t going to save his feelings; although closing it would be appropriate if it looks like a fight. It’s a matter of opinion I guess. Yup, clear as mud!

[Trent Adams]

I just noticed this thread fel64! Brilliant! The code above should be edited correctly now!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

I don’t mind if you go into this, no. A topic with a username referenced as a bozo is asking for problems if that user is not indeed a spammer. Forums sometimes are not a ‘pretty’ place and this is definetely the case over at wordpress.com. Ultimately, it is mdawaffe, Matt or I that has to deal with the issues in these forums and we all look at the modlook tag, so it is easier for us to be alerted to these disucssions when we don’t have a chance to read “all” threads.

It seems that you and Sam were most likely 100% right that the user may be at fault here, but realize that if you are not right on this one it can cause someone hard feelings. Discussion is obviously a great thing and encouraged and closing the thread, while premature, is damage control. Clear as mud?

[Trent Adams]

Sam I never read the entire blog and didn’t realize that is was a link farm site. There is no bot that posts personal replies even if they sometimes seem out of place and in my experience there are sometimes comments that are made that are irrelevant, but not in vain. This might not be that case though if they were trolling for links.

@fel64, I locked the thread because if the user is not a bozo, there is no need for further flaming and the disucssion should be over. In this case they most likely were a bozo and I appreciate you and Sam for bringing this up and using the modlook tag

If anyone’s interested, you can find install at http://www.thetelegraphic.com/bbpress/bbpress/ (for now, once it’s fully working it’ll go to a dedicated domain).

[fel64]

No idea. My advice would be to find a wordpress plugin and just modify it – there probably won’t be much to do – into a bb plugin. It’s worth a try.

[fel64]

Yeah. The way I see it, bozo is anyone you don’t want posting – spammer, serial troll or bot – anyway, so I wouldn’t mind marking him that way.

Trent, do you have to lock the thread? Either the discussion is over, in which case no-one will post anyway, or it’s not and you just stopped it.

[lokem001]

Thanks Trent, but that link gave me nothing

Fel64, I don’t really get what you mean with “live Windows server”… anyhow it’s a WindowsXP server, Apache 2.2, PHP5, latest MySQL – all installed on a personal LAN server.

And the Apache/PHP installation works fine with some other simple PHP applications.

I also tried to copy an older installation of bbpress that worked fine on a previous WinXP/Apache server, but due to a disk failure I had to format the drive and re-install everything.

However, that older bbpress turned out with the exact problem (blank page) and the same line Apache’s error.log…

My guess is something’s wrong with my Apache/PHP installation.

Thx,

lokem

[spencerp]

YES! Awesome! Thanks a million Trent! You’re awesome! I gotta find it now, I think it’s on a CD some where LOL. When I find it, I’ll send it your way.

Side note: It was coded with the Forum Category hack/adjustments made though.. so.. just a for-warning. It shouldn’t be that hard to start on fresh bbPress code though. I just don’t have the time to do it sigh.

And maybe even some “plugin code” are in it as well lol! I think your’s and Josh’s. Hmm.. You’ll see what I mean then.

spencerp

[fel64]

How do you add a tab to the three tabs – “Profile”, “Edit” and “Favourites” – visible only in the profile? I want to add a tab for the avatar and am fairly sure there’s a hook bb_profile_menu but I’m not sure what to do with it. The API certainly supports adding them, the code’s there, but I’m not sure how to do it. Anyone know?

[Trent Adams]

If you want to email me the theme Spencerp that would work and I will just re-release it for you and host it

Trent

[fel64]

Forum 1 is private, and I can’t login using “test” and “test” Last time I checked, though, the latest post thing was screwed.

[lokem001]

Hi!

I did the installation as guided… created a config file…

So after the creation of a config file, and I reload the page, nothing shows but blank… a big white blank page.

I get this messege in my apache error log:

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function __() in C:\wow1.11\www\bbpress\bb-settings.php on line 7

Thx for all the help I can get!

[citizenkeith]

How about for those of us who aren’t integrating with WordPress? This would be very useful for me.

[spencerp]

Yeah, sigh. A little bit frustrated when a guy rips you off for a 112.00 USD on a custom WP theme! In which he don’t give you after A MONTH! When originally said 3 to 5 days max!

(NSFW Links – Contain swear words of course! )

http://www.vindictivebastard.net/id/433

http://www.vindictivebastard.net/id/435

And besides all that crap, I have many many other things that need done. But, is on hold because of the first initial crap that I’m dealing with sigh.

[wittmania]

I have launched an “Area 51” forum to test and display the effects of my plugins. You can see bb-Ads in action here:

http://blog.wittmania.com/bbpress/

Also, I have now tested this plugin with pretty links, and it does work. The only changes to be made in the coding as given in ad1.php is that you have to delete the .php from the strpos check. This will just look for the words in the link instead of the actual .php file names.
