Or if you want it on front-page anyway, add something like <?php if ( bb_current_user_can( 'edit_users' ) ) : ?> around the code.

This is my first attempt at a plugin, so be gentle!

This plugin allows you to display custom ads/messages anywhere on your site, including the front page, profile pages, forum pages, and even between posts.

The plugin randomly selects a file from a pre-determined directory, or you can specify a specific file to display. File types include .php, .html, .htm, or you can add custom file types as needed.

The files themselves can include links, images, PHP functions, and CSS stylization. You can customize the ads/messages however you want.

You can get the 0.1 version here:

PLEASE feel free to let me know if you find any bugs. I’m also extremely open to suggestions for future revisions, as my PHP skills are only slightly better than my bow hunting skills, which are pretty pathetic.

Enjoy!

The plugin he linked you does give you buttons like that. Click it and it auto-inserts the code.

[citizenkeith]

Ah, that did it! Thanks for the clarification.

Any chance that we can add smilies from the emoticon plugin into the sigature? Or at least an IMG tag?

[H]

citizenkeit; if you have installed the avatar plugin, you have to edit the function in the bb-avatar.php file in your plugins folder… The function get_profile_info_keys_plus_avatar() overrides the function in the function.php file.

Just add the code written above at the end of the get_profile_info_keys_plus_avatar() function (before the last ‘)’ ).

Got it?

[archasek]

thanks alot, but this plugin, unfortunately doesnt work for me

do you know, Trent, how can i translate http://ram.org.pl/forum/ ‘add topic’ and ‘reply’ on down of the page? and why my ‘add new’ (‘dodaj nowy’ in my theme) doesn’t work?

[so1o]

use the sort_tag_heat_map filter.. search for it in the forum, you’ll find a code example somewhere here

[citizenkeith]

In functions.php, find the get_profile_info_keys() function, which should be on or around line 1761. In the line that starts with array(‘user_email’…, add the following code before the last “)” in the line. Note the comma.

, 'sig' => array(0, __('Signature'))'

Hmm… I can’t seem to get this to work. I’ve followed your instructions, but it doesn’t show up in the Edit Profile area. Here’s my code for that section of functions.php:

//meta_key => (required?, Label).  Don't use user_{anything} as the name of your meta_key.

function get_profile_info_keys() {

return apply_filters(

'get_profile_info_keys',

array('user_email' => array(1, __('Email')), 'user_url' => array(0, __('Website')), 'from' => array(0, __('Location')), 'occ' => array(0, __('Occupation')), 'interest' => array(0, __('Interests')), 'sig' => array(0, __('Signature')))

);

}

Is this correct?

[drmike]

I noticed this on occasion on the wp.com forums. If the system sees a tag as something that needs to be encoded, then there’s no way it can’t ever be un-encoded. It’s a pain when trying to fix HTML over there.

[wittmania]

I assume you mean on a topics/posts page. Find post.php, and insert this code wherever you want the name/profile link:

<a href="<?php _e(attribute_escape

(get_user_profile_link

(get_post_author_id()))); ?>">

<?php _e(get_post_author()); ?></a>

I broke it up into several lines for easier reading here, but it should all be on one line. This will build the profile link using the post author’s name as the text for the link.

[mirfan]

I changed

define( 'BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );

with this:

define( 'BBPATH', str_replace('\', '/', realpath(dirname(__FILE__))) . '/' );

in bb-load.php, and now it works on localhost with windows xp sp2.

[mathboy]

This is exactly what I’m after also. However, when I turn on the HTTP authentication in the Admin page I get a bunch of warnings at the top of the screen (see below), and also am unable to log off.

Warning: Missing argument 2 for bb_login() in …/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 125

and multiple of:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at …/bb-includes/pluggable.php:125) in …/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 37

Worked

Thanks again Trent!

Hey Community,

I am starting up another site, and I am setting up the Latest Discussions Plugin. I have installed and integrated WP & BB. Once I activate the plugin and use the call for the latest discussion on the wordpress page I am given this error:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1]

SELECT * FROM topics WHERE topic_status = 0 ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT

Any ideas what might be going on here?

Thanks,

Orion

OK, to answer the “where do I put the code question (0.8.1)…

In functions.php, find the get_profile_info_keys() function, which should be on or around line 1761. In the line that starts with array('user_email'..., add the following code before the last “)” in the line. Note the comma.

, 'sig' => array(0, __('Signature'))

This will add the signature field to the profile edit page, enabling users to input their own signatures.

Next, we need to add the code to display the signatures in their posts. In post.php, find this line (for me it was line 17):

<div class="post"><?php post_text(); ?></div>

BEFORE the closing div tag, add the following:

<?php /*Is the signature field blank?*/

if (get_sig( get_post_author_id() ) != "") { ?>

<div class="signature"><?php post_sig(); ?></div>

<?php } ?>

(NOTE: Make sure the existing closing div tag still follows the code above.)

This checks to see if a signature exists, and if it does it adds a nested div with the signature class stylization applied to it, and the content of the signature field is placed inside this div.

Finally, add the following to your style sheet:

.signature {

border-top: 1px dotted #ccc;

margin: 5px 0 0;

padding: 5px 0 0;

}

If you are using the default theme, this will style the signature div exactly like the poststuff div that follows it.

Please note that (at this time) signatures are text-only. You may want to let your users know by adding a note in the functions.php array declaration. Something like 'Signature (text only)' would do the trick.

I don’t know if it’s possible, but it would be nice if this plugin would be modified so that it can display images, links, and so on in the signature. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks!

[Trent Adams]

Just joking around really! I just have a habit of getting the basic install up and working the way people want and then try including WP content, changing themes, adding plugins, etc so they can track what they did when they see further problems (if any exist!). That is my funny way of saying ‘break things” afterwards

**Edit**

I tried to test out your forum again and the same error is still there. Let me know when you get that sorted out and I can try and work with you to get this working.

Cheers,

Trent

[Davor Dedic]

Yeah,

I saw that, went back to the start, (everything is back to normal now) however everything is working except of logging through bbPress with my WP user, again once logge through WP, no problem ???

Any thoughts ?

P.S.

What did you mean by “…and then break it with tring to include WP content like the UTW plugin ” do you mean I should stop trying doing that

[Trent Adams]

Daddo,

You have the following error on your forum right now:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_tag() (previously declared in /home/.mardi/driftk27/driftkikker.com/wp-content/plugins/UltimateTagWarrior/ultimate-tag-warrior.php:117) in /home/.mardi/driftk27/forum.driftkikker.com/bb-includes/template-functions.php on line 251

My suggestion would be to get the cookies and logins working with the default template and then break it with tring to include WP content like the UTW plugin

Trent

[Trent Adams]

That is the intended placement for the forums here as well as the other wordpress forums. It can be changed though! I would just edit style.css for this portion:

/* Profile Page

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



#profile-menu {

}



#profile-menu li {

font-size: 1.1em;

background-color: #eee;

padding: 4px 7px;

display: inline;

border-top: 3px single #9e9e9e;

position: relative;

top: -10px;

}

All I did there was take out the positioning for profile-menu itself so it displays inline and then changed the border of the list items themselves to have a single border on top instead of the double. You can edit that more to get it to look the way you want as well.

That being said, I am leaving it as is because it is the closest to the ‘actual forum’ with the profile menu on the right hand side floating……but this will fix you up!

Trent

[Davor Dedic]

Yes,

I did that,

that was the first thing I did,

and then I double checked it, but still I can not log in through bbPress

Somebody !!!

[Null]

Well WP has it here:

http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/

Can we get this as a plugin aswell? Would be very handy

Null

[Nola1974]

Oh. My. Lord. This thread has basically just been a blog. lol

But, the good news is that my host figured out the cause… I forget the name of the module, but PHP was encrypting the cookies. As soon as he turned that off – everything works peachy.

What little hair I had left is gone now though.

[michaelisc]

Thanks Trent,

Well it works, kind of. To be more precise, if I put in three carriage returns with <br /> in the second empty CR space a single break space is inserted. Otherwise the <br /> simply disappears from the post as verified during an edit.

Once the breaks are successfully inserted and the post is edited again the <br /> ‘s are all missing from the code in the post. Strange.

[Trent Adams]

This works for line breaks:

<br />

As for the attributes of <li>, it could be done with a little plugin. Could you post the exact code that you want to style the list item? It could also work if you just style all list items for posts in your CSS sheet. That is maybe easier than a plugin to do this.
