the guest posts should be automatically marked as deleted for moderation (if spam = no action, if no spam = undelete) same for new guest topics 
Nevermind, much props goes to boyevul on GoogleTalk! 
The login codes were placed in the theme’s header2.php file, directly after an “onclick” action, which was the culprit.
So this:
<div id=”header” onclick=”location.href='<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>’;” style=”cursor: pointer;”>
<h1><a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a></h1>
<?php login_form(); ?>
<div id=”memlist”><a href="<?php bb_memberlist_link(); ?>">Member List</a></div>
</div>
Was changed to this:
<div id=”header”>
<h1><a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a></h1>
<?php login_form(); ?>
<div id=”memlist”><a href="<?php bb_memberlist_link(); ?>">Member List</a></div>
</div>
And all was peachy! I didn’t however upload the latest files of bbPress to the online copy, and I didn’t upload the new changes I just made here either.. I will then .. 
Either way, problem is solved!

That’s different from my install, my magic_quotes_gpc are “on” and “on”. Now to find out how to get around that for your server…
What version of PHP are you using? That phpinfo() will tell you, or from the command line, I think php -v
Also, do you have the ability to use a .htaccess file?
Can someone make it as a plugin then
Or some page we can put on our site, but that pulls al the plugins from this site for display?
larmir, do you have an example URL where we can register and test this out? Also, does Dreamhost have a phpinfo() where we could see about magic_quotes_gpc and magic_quotes_runtime? If they do not have that file, can you create a file on your server called info.php or phpinfo.php (name does not matter so long as you know it) and then, in that file, put this:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
That will give all sorts of useful information, including your magic_quotes settings.
Thanks.
I also agree that posts should be locked after a while to prevent editing. I hate rereading a post I thought I already read, and finding new information there because they edited it after I read it the first time. Maybe the post_time could be updated when it’s edited? Then it would keep bumping to the top?
I don’t know how to make a plugin yet, but here is what you would change in the core bb-includes/capabilities.php, comment out lines 348 and 349. That seems to do it for me.
if ( $curr_time - $post_time > bb_get_option( 'edit_lock' ) * 60 )
$caps[] = 'ignore_edit_lock';
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).
so1o, you’re a doll, thank you!
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?
There is
In your config.php
// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.
$bb->edit_lock = 60;
Simply change that value.
eek, I take that back, it breaks again when editing a post.
I hardcoded my install path because I couldn’t find the function name for the home install.
This may not need a plugin, but I haven’t seen an easy way to implement via code …
What I’d like is to redirect a user to the forums index page when he/she logs out. Is this possible?
Thanks!
ok..
try this plugin
<?php
function your_function_name($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.
Jaime.
Changing the ‘name’ value (line 125) from your bb-includes/capabilities.php file would be enough
D’oh! I see the upgrade notes now. I swear, they weren’t there before! (I hope, LOL)
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?
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
Nice!! I’ll try that out then.. Thanks for updating it, and sharing it!
spencerp
I agree.. I’d like to see this too!
+1 for a plugin..
spencerp
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
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).
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
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!
