My bbpress forum is now averaging one registration spam per day – where a user registers, adds their pills or porn site details to the website field, then never visits again.

Check your registrations guys ‘n’ gals, you may find you have a lot of unwanted members (*cough*) linked from your sites.

I’m thinking it’s time registration requests went through Akismet – but for this to happen there would have to be a UI for spotting false positives.

This means that we translators will soon have a branch for our locale also as in wp ?

[spencerp]

Thanks pontus. I might try this then. However, I’m not one for core edits really, but I might give it a go, unless of course Josh comes up with something soon!?

*cough* I really would like to see this, maybe, implemented in the .80 version.. *cough* lol..

Maybe add

<php header("Location: path/to/your/page"); ?>

to the top of your bbpress registration template?

Just a thought.

I am working on a danish Wii-portal site, and I have chosen to use bbPress/WP to do the job.

The site is not officially launched yet, but is available at wiinyt.dk/secret/. Check out the bbPress at wiinyt.dk/secret/forum/.

Browsing the site on the Wii scales everything up to fit the television perfectly

Major changes like….. ?????? PLZZZ tell

[chrishajer]

Is it possibly related to cookies and the domains they come from?

This problem can sometimes be caused by

disabling or refusing to accept cookies

My error was with Firefox 1.5.0.7 on Linux. Maybe it’s just coincidental it went away when the scripts were parsed by PHP5.

[chrishajer]

They will not offer to support .htaccess, but that’s OK as long as they let you use it.

Put that .htaccess (make sure it starts with a period) in your forum root, with the line:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

in it.

Then, make sure it’s working. Create a file called phpinfo.php in your forum root. Put this into it:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Then, access that URL http://www.yoursite.com/forum/phpinfo.php. The resultant page will have the PHP version at the top. You want to see PHP5.x.x there, not PHP4.x.x. Try it both with and without the .htaccess to see if it changes. If it’s already parsing php files as PHP5, then we have to dig into what’s not working. If php files are still being parsed as PHP4, the we need to figure out if the htaccess is working or not, or in the wrong location or something.

There is an error in /bb-includes/template-functions.php file .

In that file find

($smallest + ($count/$fontstep)."$unit;'>$tag n";

and replace it with:

($smallest + (($count-min($counts))/$fontstep))."$unit;'>$tag n";

[phollo]

guys, any other suggestion?

I’m working on the spanish translation and I’m having a problem.

syntax error, unexpected $end in /…/bb-includes/gettext.php(307) : eval()’d code on line 1

The error really comes from this line of code:

$posts = sprintf('%1$s %2$s', $post_num, __ngettext( 'post', 'posts', $post_num ));

And I guess it has something to do with the plurals (post and posts). I’ve generated the po file using poEdit.

Does anyone have an idea of how to solve this?

[chrishajer]

Adding this to the .htaccess in the forum root did it for me:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Basically, you need PHP5 to prevent that redirect error. If your server has PHP5, then this will resolve the issue for you.

This problem was mentioned and resolved here before:

What version of bbPress are you using?

Do you have a .htaccess file in bbPress’ bb-templates/ directory?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Glad it works

[ostlund]

In bb_press 0.74 you need to change “init” to “bb_init” on line 48. Like this:

add_action(‘bb_init’, ‘online_update’);

And then it works again.

[ardentfrost]

Man, looks like I’ll have to move to some better forum software in the year 6354 then

[ardentfrost]

Same thing happened to me in one of mine. I was using get_header instead of bb_get_header. Silly mistakes are the worst when you need help finding them

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Try

$topics = bb_top_topics();

as your first line.

[Geezerjim]

I am looking for some help with the plugin bb-ratings. Specifically the functions bb_top_topics. From what I gather it returns an array of topics in descending order of the votes the topics have received. I took that information and put the following in my front page template: <?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(); ?>

The problem is that it does not display the topics in descending order, it just displays all of the most recent in the order they were entered.

I know the plugin page (bbpress.org/plugins/) has this function working as it should be.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Would be nicer to have some bbpressMU Something I really want. Could be done izi I think, just put an id code with each forum and posts and filter on that ID. Only each forum should be able to pick its template and plugins…. well perhaps in the future? wish wish

[Null]

Like mdawaffe said above: 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.

/Me guesses there is TOO much stuff going on behind the scenes, to even want to consider making this a “plugin” per se..

I understood that, was aiming to some pluginmaster that want to created something like this

Well it aint that important, it would be just handy. Even more if all the info could be pulled (with some filters) so the plugins would stay at 1 central point (this site) and updated to. So no different plugin versions on every site….

Well just some suggestions…

[chrishajer]

I have bbpress and wp on the same database too, and I don’t have a problem with either one. Looking into the gpc_magic_quotes or where addslashes and stripslashes are used.

What type of quotes are added, single or double?

Also, do you have a URL where this can be experienced? Looking through the code, there are a lot of slash-things in there. I would like to narrow the problem down by first seeing it. Thanks.

[so1o]

spencerp..

good thing – you know how to talk to yourself huh??

[mozey]

well, its good to know the limits of your software thats all. However, what i was more interested in is, does bbpress somehow purge posts from the database and cache them somehow to lower the load on the DB!!?!?. Thats the only way I can think of how they go over this limit.

I just wanna know how they do it and i’m lazy to look over the code

Or some page we can put on our site, but that pulls al the plugins from this site for display?

There might be a way, I’m just not sure off hand which way would be the “best” though.. Maybe one of the devs, or someone else could help you better. Either way, good luck with this!
