Probably not. There’s a lot of custom code talking to two different servers via http, cron jobs, svn actions and a dozen other things.

It’s not terribly well abstracted for use on arbitrary sites. To be honest, it’s a little spaghetti

My plan was for bbpress.org/plugins to be open by this past Friday. It will open tomorrow (Monday Jan 8th).

[Nicki Faulk]

so1o, you’re a doll, thank you!

[Nicki Faulk]

I’m not sure, but then again I don’t want my users to go back and keep editing posts. I’m kind of control-freaky like that.

Perhaps there’s something that can be added to the code to allow that, or a plugin to do this?

[Nicki Faulk]

There is

In your config.php

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

Simply change that value.

[Nicki Faulk]

eek, I take that back, it breaks again when editing a post.

I hardcoded my install path because I couldn’t find the function name for the home install.

[Nicki Faulk]

This may not need a plugin, but I haven’t seen an easy way to implement via code …

What I’d like is to redirect a user to the forums index page when he/she logs out. Is this possible?

Thanks!

[so1o]

ok..

try this plugin

<?php

function your_function_name($where) {

global $topic;

if ($topic)

return $where . ' AND topic_id = ' . $topic->topic_id;

else

return $where;

}

function get_first_post_of_current_topic() {

global $bb_post;

add_filter('get_latest_posts_where','your_function_name');

$bb_post = get_latest_posts(1);

if(count($bb_post) == 1 ) {

$bb_post = $bb_post[0];

post_text();

}

}

?>

where you want call get_first_post_of_current_topic();

I’ve installed the bb Ratings plugin and put the following code on the front page:

<h2><?php _e('Highest Ratings'); ?></h2>

<table id="highest"><col class="wide" />

<tr>

<th>Highest Rating</th>

<th>Rating</th>

</tr>

<?php bb_top_topics();

foreach ($topics as $topic) : ?>

<tr<?php alt_class('forum'); ?>>

<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a>

</td>

<td class="num"><div class="rating-holder"><?php bb_rating();?>

<span class="count"><?php bb_rating_count(); ?>

</span>

</div>

</td></tr>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</table>

The stars show up, the counts are correct, but instead of displaying horizontally which would allow the color to display properly the stars are stacked one on top of the other with the count at the very bottom.

I know the display works on the plugin repository page, but I haven’t been able to track down what I’ve been doing wrong.

I can’t promise anything since I’have never seen IPB database structure nor code, but I can give it a try. Drop me a line at jaime at iteisa dot c0m with the public URI and I’ll have a look at it if you are still interested.

Changing the ‘name’ value (line 125) from your bb-includes/capabilities.php file would be enough

[Nicki Faulk]

D’oh! I see the upgrade notes now. I swear, they weren’t there before! (I hope, LOL)

[Nicki Faulk]

Ok, thought so. Thanks, Trent.

I have one plugin which has init in it (Online List), so I just change that to bb_init, right?

[Trent Adams]

Just code changes. Just file overwrites. Obviously, in the download, there is no:

.htaccess

config.php

/my-templates/

/my-plugins/

If you have those files, just keep them and overwrite the rest. I am sure you knew that already, but I thought I would post it in case others come across this thread!

Trent

[spencerp]

Nice!! I’ll try that out then.. Thanks for updating it, and sharing it!

spencerp

[spencerp]

I agree.. I’d like to see this too!

+1 for a plugin..

spencerp

[so1o]

try this..

create a plugin with this code..

function your_function_name($where) {

global $topic;

return $where . ' AND topic_id = ' . $topic->topic_id;

}

function get_first_post_of_current_topic() {

add_filter('get_latest_posts_where','your_function_name');

get_latest_posts(1);

}

call get_first_post_of_current_topic in the loop where you show tipc name.

let me know if works.. this is just a hunch

cheers

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The speed difference is negligable.

I would always use bb_get_option() so that a “power-user” can softcode the option value into the $bb variable if they want to avoid the extra database hits. bb_get_option_from_db() is mostly useful when you want to override data that has been softcoded (which probably isn’t very often).

PS: bb_get_option() is the function, ‘bb_get_option_{blah}’ is the filter.

bb_get_option( ‘my_option’ ) grabs the value for my_option and filters it through anything you’ve defined in the ‘bb_get_option_my_option’ filter. The filter is probably pretty useless for data that plugins store since you probably won’t have to modify on the fly the data that you provided in the first place.

The filter may be useful for data the core bbPress provides (you might want to filter ‘bb_get_option_page_topics’, for example, so that whenever bbPress core calls bb_get_option( ‘page_topics’ ), you can modify the returned value on the fly).

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Here’s some info: https://bbpress.org/blog/2007/01/bbpress-options-api/

You shouldn’t access the data from the tables directly. It’s possible that at some point we’ll change where the data is stored, so use the API

[spencerp]

Alright, I uploaded a copy of my actual Localhost now, to my domain name: http://localhost.spencerp.net/forum/

You can see what I’m talking about there, well hopefully lol! Also, please keep in mind, things might be broke, still screwy.. just register if you can, only for testing purposes..

Also, this isn’t even near done yet lmao. I got a lot of nice things in mind for this baby.. LoL!

[Nicki Faulk]

Looking forward to your update.

[thomasklaiber]

Hehe … which bbpress version are you using? Stable release or trac version?

If you’re using the stable version (0.73), line 48 should look like this:

add_action('init', 'online_update');

Just a thought …

The thing with the time, 5 minutes and 1 hour is something different The 5 minutes are the timeout for inactivity … so if you inactive for more then 5 minutes, you’re not longer displayed as online.

The one hour thing was to let the plugin work on my board, I think there seems to be a little problem with the timezones. Just try removing it … the -3600 and see if it works then.

cheers.

Thank you for the best piece of forums software. It’s so lightweight and customizable! I’ve posted to the mailing-list several times and I’ve always gotten the best support! You guys are really great.

I just upgraded to 0.73 today on both of my installs and I really like what you’ve done since 1.0-a (not sure how that versioning works). I’m quite impressed with the new features. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like my template works with the new version but that’s okay. I am going to have fun making a new/better one!

I am using several of the plug-ins that people have made and I am very very impressed. I use Private Messages, Avatars, Notifications, and Memberlist. The only other one I would like to see would be forums based on user levels (admin forums for admins), although I heard this should be in the works.

One thing I noticed was there are no keymasters on my forum. I am not sure how that happened. I am the Administrator and thats it. I am not sure if it matters that there is no keymaster. It doesn’t seem to make a difference to me so far, I can do all the tasks that need to be done (delete, stick, edit topics/posts).

Other then that keep up the good work…looks like I’m going to have to update to 0.74 soon

[jonnydf]

Thanks for the reply. I thought the spam filtering out was most likely yahoo’s fault. I honestly don’t think any of my problems are related to bbpress, and maybe more likely my cheapo hosting!

I have another installation of bbpress on another domain and it seems to work ok.

I’m thinking of looking into linking up with wordpress as well because I have used it before and really like it. Any my forum seems to be functioning which is the main thing and I’m happy I found bbpress for it!

[jonnydf]

Ok first post and I’m going to start by saying having only been using bbpress for 2 days I think its great, and just what I was looking for in appearance for a forum ie clutterfree and simple.

I am no expert on this but I’ll try and explain a problem I am having with registration emails. It may not be anything to do with bbpress but I’m hoping someone here may have the experience to help.

PROBLEM: User register seems to be fine and the mysql database is filled with their details. They get the email. All ok. However, if I try to create a different user with the same email (I’m doing this for testing) I never seem to get a registration email. Does bbpress do a check to see if a email address is already being used? I don’t seem to get this problem if a create users with an email address at the domain the forum is hosted. Also if I have an account and use the forgotten password recovery I find I get the email to generate a new password but don’t see the email with the new password.

On top of this yahoo seems to be picking up the registration email as spam, I don’t know if this is normal.

I hope this isn’t too long winded. If anyone has any thoughts I’d love to hear them. I know people are registering with my forum and using it so it does work! But they all have individual passwords. Thanks!

[d3x7r0]

hum… just noticed something: My username isn’t showing up in the Users Online list… maybe it has something to do with that
