We have a bbPress docs (codex) in the works and that will be something that we can expect early this year. Right now, it is just getting all these projects rolled out. bbPress has only ‘officially’ been released for a couple of months now!

So10, did you see my post (2 up from your last one)?

get_top_tags($recent, $limit) will return an array of tag objects… each object contains the tag ID, tag (tag all lower case), raw tag (tag how it was typed), and tag count (how many times the tag is used). To get the link to a specific tag, you use get_tag_link(). You’d want to use the get_top_tags function like this: get_top_tags(false, X) where X is the number of tags you want displayed.

You can also pull the tags straight from the database. Here’s the code used in functions.php:

$tags = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->tags ORDER BY tag_count DESC LIMIT $limit")

I’d take out the limit part if you want all the tags. Then, if you want a drop down menu, you can just do this (this is from my head and untested, so it might not work if copy and pasted):

if(!empty($tags) ) :

echo '<select name="userid" id="userid">';

foreach( $tags as $tag) :

echo "<option value='$tag->raw_tag'>$tag->tag</option>";

endforeach;

echo '</select>';

else:

echo "No tags exist";

endif;

Then you just gotta figure out how to either redirect to the desired page using POST data or something like that. Not exactly sure how I’d go about it.

An earthquake in Taiwan knocked out my box in Atlanta?

Run a tracert on the server and paste it to me ( tracert www.rayd.org ). A lot of China is blocked off at the firewall due to spammers, so if you give me that info I should be able to make it available to you.

I just found a small issue with this plugin: when no title for the message is given it still sends the message but the link to read it is invisibe (since it’s just <a></a> with nothing in between.

[Mistainu]

@ardent: i can’t access your forums, i’m cut off from certain servers due to the Taiwan 7.1 Quake. i’d love to try your plugins but i can’t, maybe in 3 weeks…

[d3x7r0]

I just took a look at both codes and noticed that in the onlinelist plugin you’re using – 300 and on this one – 3600, notice the diference?

[spencerp]

The suggestion for this came up on the wp-forums list a while back, but.. nothing was posted on the “How-To” for it..

I was just wondering, what would be the tags “call” for making this possible? Here’s an example of what I’m talking about…

<li><h2>Browse By</h2>

<select name="archivemenu" onChange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">

<option value="">Tags</option>

<?php tag_heat_map(); ?>

</select>

What’s the actual “call” for the tags, to have them all be listed there? Thanks in advanced..

Why not run an absolute path?

require_once(/var/www/html/mysite_function.php);

Does that work?

If it is root bbPress folder, you could use what is in config.php

require_once( BBPATH . 'mysite_function.php' );

Should be pretty easy……?

On my site, I have a file of general purpose functions in the site root called “mysite_functions.php.” I have WordPress installed in /wordpress, and bbPress installed in /wordpress/bbpress. I have altered wp_setcookie() and wp_clearcookie() in a WordPress plugin. In those two functions, I use require_once('../mysite_functions.php');, and then the function call. It works fine.

The problem comes in the bbPress plugins. I have a plugin overriding bb_login() and bb_logout(). In each of those functions I use the exact same code to call mysite_functions.php, but I get “failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [file path] [line number]”

In either case, the functions are unchanged with the exception of appending:

require_once("../mysite_functions.php");

call_my_function();

[willdayble]

Alrighty, just to be a dumbarse, I’d love to use this plugin but I’ve NO idea how to do the “Upgrade the installation of bbPress to the latest version from the code repository” bit.

I’ve recently migrated from phpBB over to BBpress, with all my posts and topics thankfully intact… but I’ve some forums I need to hide.

Is there no way to hide forums based on the user level at all?

[willdayble]

… the problem here is you can delete a forum but not the post entries in the database that are in said forum…

[satellio]

Cool! But how come some users’ email addresses show as just “1”?

I’m not sure, but it looks like a bad .mo file. The Plural-Forms line of the .po file should end with a semicolon (.

[thomasklaiber]

If you are inactive for more than 5 minutes, you’re marked as offline. So if you go to the forum again later your last_visit is the time when you were there the time before.

(ehm .. sry… it’s hard for me to describe in english)

d3x7r0:

Strange … for me it works at the moment. Maybe some time problems … try removing the -3600 from line 53.

Just remember, this is beta! (maybe… alpha )

[ardentfrost]

yeah, so, this is what’s in functions.php (core file)

function bb_get_option( $option ) {

global $bb;

switch ( $option ) :

case 'uri' :

return $bb->domain . $bb->path;

break;

...

So, all it does it return those exact two things you posted concatenated together. It makes no sense for the developed link to have a /forums/ in it.

[yogaboat]

arden, here’s what’s in the config file:

$bb->domain = 'http://navfm.org';

$bb->path = '/bbpress/'

Is that what you mean?

[ardentfrost]

since I use the function bb_get_option('uri') to build the link, I have no clue why it would be showing up as /forums instead of /bbpress for you. I assume it’s correct in your config.php file?

[yogaboat]

This was like one of those light bulb times for me – like years ago when I realized you could have an image link inside an href tag. Now I know you can have a php snippet inside one as well. It’s the little things. Thanks again –

[Trent Adams]

Make it simple for now until Ardenfrost can answer! Change that line to:

<li class="view"><a href="http://navfm.org/bbpress/mlist.php">Member List</a></li>

Just add in your actual URL (hardcode it!)

Trent

[yogaboat]

Sorry, that was supposed to read, “adding this line:

<li class="view"><a href="<?php bb_memberlist_link(); ?>">Member List</a></li>“

[yogaboat]

The only bit of code I changed in front_page.php was adding this line:

<li class=”view”>“>Member List

?php if ( $bb_current_user->ID ) : ?>

<div id="viewdiv">

<h2><?php _e('Views'); ?></h2>

<ul id="views">

<?php foreach ( get_views() as $view => $title ) : ?>

<li class="view"><a href="<?php view_link(); ?>"><?php view_name(); ?></a></li>

<?php endforeach; ?>

<li class="view"><a href="<?php bb_memberlist_link(); ?>">Member List</a></li>

</ul>

</div>

<?php endif; else : // $forums ?>

I’m sure it’s something simple but i don’t know php.

[Trent Adams]

I would go to front-page.php and check that the code you entered for the link is /bbpress/mlist.php and not /forum/mlist.php because you would of had to enter the link yourself.

Trent

[d3x7r0]

I tried the beta but it doesn’t seem to be working for me I have the onlinelist plugin and me and a friend of mine tried it like this:

one made a post while the other wasn’t on the website (even the browsers where closed) and 5 minutes latter the other went to the site and tried to use the function.

The result? a blank page
