You’ll get incorrect dates when the bbpress api cannot see the correct time.

But if you are saying the mouseover is working, that means that $topic has the right time.

I suspect you do not have $topic as a global before your loop.

So find the foreach you have and put global $topic; before it.

It’s possible one of the plugins that relies on post_text is messing with the content.

All these work with post_text

Allow Images

BBcode Lite

bbPress signatures

bbPress Smilies

Improved Spoiler (makes a spoiler bar)

Profanity Filter

If you can consistantly make the problem happen (and cure it) then put bbpress into safemode by putting this into your bb-config.php

$bb->safemode=true;

and then try making the problem happen again.

Safemode will disable all plugins and switch you to the kakumei theme. But it’s not permanent, just remove the line and you’ll be back to normal.

Compresses output… compresses output… if only I knew what that meant… I never installed any plugins to specifically do that.

Nope it still happens even after I clear my cache.

Custom plugins on the bbpress forum I have include:

I forgot to mention… the last time this happened my friend and fellow php’er (i use the phrase ‘fellow’ lightly as he really is the brains of this site, I have a very basic code knowledge compared to him) mentioned that the server’s cpu was pinned at 100% if that helps you any.

No problems with that text.

Content-Encoding	gzip

Content-Length	2297

Maybe you are gzip’ing the output 2 times. One at bbPress level and one at server level. I can see from HTTP response header that your main page is gzip’ed. Are you using a plugin that compress output in your forum?

Or maybe it’s a browser error. Try to clean the cache.

[rajada]

Well that just tells me its not the quotes, I bet if you copy/pasted this:

http://www.nerfarena.net/library/index.php?title=Confessions_of_a_Teenage_NAB_Enthusiast

as I did it would work… not that I think you should. I think after realizing that the html file does it too tells me that it is probably the formatting (IE the bold lettering and stuff).

And sorry, I don’t know what database you mean (site, forum, library?) and even how to check its character set.

And besides, it only destroys the topic, not the forum, so just my thread would die, kinda counter-productive if you ask me.

[zaerl]

Trying to destroy bbpress.org with 11 different quote characters:

” ̏ “ ” „ ‟ ‶ ‵ ‷ ‘ ’ ‛

I have copy-pasted on my sand-box the code but no problems arise. Do your database character-set is utf-8?

[zaerl]

The site will be in dutch and every string that’s not translated will be shown in english.

If the plugin developer did include a dutch translation then it will be automatically translated following you bb-config setting or just revert to english.

Keep in mind that you must download a dutch language file (.mo) and place it in the /my-languages/ folder in order to have your translation.

If the plugin doesn’t export a dutch .mo file then you can translate it using the plugin .pot file. If the plugin doesn’t export a pot site well you can’t do anything apart asking the author.

Thanks for that. It’s a nice way to know they’re active, but that’s about it. What I’m really looking for is a way to realize:

“aha, they’re designing those features right now, so maybe I could help by making these suggestions and illustrating these example/past/future use cases related to those features.”

But hey, small as it may be, this is a start:

[Joe Gibson]

KJG – Thanks for the excellent feedback. As for the spell-checker, that was the version I tried.

From a “reader response” point of view, the one people are most going to bitch about is the lack of a ‘preview’ feature, and that’s especially true with an editor that allows italics, blockquotes, links and pics. As a user, I’ll be screaming for one, too.

From an Admin point of view, I’d deem a ‘subscribe to topic’ feature the most important, simply because every half-decent forum in the galaxy has one and people expect it — not to mention how convenient it is for the readers.

“Awesome, i look forward to you coding them and releasing them. Thanks for offering Joe “

Rats. I knew I should have added that disclaimer, “By the way, I’m not a programmer and COULD be speaking out of my butt.” Still, you’d think if ‘Subscribe To Topics’ once worked, and can still put the dang box on the page, it wouldn’t take much to figure out how to direct a quick message back to the poster. By the way, I’m not a programmer and COULD be speaking out of my butt.

Quite nice, and I especially like seeing the forum getting all comfortable-like in the admin panel

Not sure about the strongest green though. Might I suggest an ‘avocado’ theme? Here are some examples:

http://kuler.adobe.com/#themes/search?term=avocado

There’s one there quite similar to what you’ve already got:

http://kuler.adobe.com/#themeID/300652

(looks like a spam-tag snuck in. check the slimex one)

[Erlend]

So a couple weeks back now there was a small rush of activity with concerns to various “what now”s when bbPress-as-plugin was made official. It’s been two weeks since there was any activity on bbdevel.wordpress.com, same goes for developer meetups and blog updates.

When will the community get to participate in the future of bbPress?

I know I could easily be throwing in feature requests at will, but it would be a lot easier to make relevant suggestions and inquiries if I knew what was going on in terms of design and code right now.

[kevinjohngallagher]

I’ve now asked about these in two other bbPress forums (subsections of WP forums)

I’d not waste my time there. The WP.org forums are really great for WordPress stuff (if you now the right terminology), but quite useless for bbPress.

Post Notification

Since I started using RSS (which most email clients and phone now handle nicely), I’ve never had a need for this.

It’s a fairly simple one to code though (with pitfalls), if there was a big enough need for it.

Subscribe To Topic

Yeah, that won’t work, and isn’t being worked on.

Matt annouced in December that it was going to be part of 1.1, but then ran away when people disagreed with him (can you believe a moderator actually asked him a question – sacrilege) and started telling people not to use bbpress while he was making KeyNote speeches at WordCamps.

It should be working in the trunk version of 1.1, which will be the last version of bbPress to be released.

After The Deadline

I typed “after the deadline bbpress” into google and this came up:

http://gaut.am/2010/06/after-the-deadline-v1-point-7-released/

Whether it will work with the plugin by a different author i’ve no idea. In honesty, IE7’s the only browser I have that doesn’t have a spell check built in natively, and its got it via an addon; so i’ve never really seen the need for this. Clearly others have though.

Someone said that part of the reason they haven’t been updated is because the authors are waiting for the new ‘plugin’ version of bbPress to be released

Sadly the WordPress (small p dangit) plugin will eradacate all code/plugins/themes/support from the current version. Nothing will be compatible.

A large part of why things aren’t updated is because bbPress looked like it was dying. The decision to rewrite a large chunk of code and go with BackPress made the majority of plugins not work overnight, and the initial thrust of 1.0 made it not worthwhile to upgrade them.

If we assumed they worked once, and all they’re not doing now is the notification part, you’d think that wouldn’t be very difficult to fix.

Awesome, i look forward to you coding them and releasing them. Thanks for offering Joe

[EyeSeeSound]

Hi Chris,

yeah, i tried adding the style elements from the main section and it worked in a way, but it wrapped the style around the whole thing so if i kept the mergin left at 130px it put the user name within the post section, and when i removed that obviously the style ran the whole length.

Basically i figure it is something to do with the way it is coded and i can’t alter php (break it, yes, alter it properly, no and I can live with how it is now, unless someone else has actually adressed this before and can post the steps to it…

Thanks though mate, appreciate the time.

[Joe Gibson]

Greets –

Well, I’ve now asked about these in two other bbPress forums (subsections of WP forums) and have gotten nowhere fast, so I thought I’d run them through the official forum again:

•Live Comment Preview — I could get it to put the ‘Preview’ button on the page, but otherwise it’s dead in its tracks. IE reported an “error on page” when used.

•Post Notification — Notifies Admin when someone posts in the forum. Dead.

•Subscribe To Topic — Puts the little checkbox on the page but doesn’t do the notification part.

•After The Deadline — Spell-checker, doesn’t work with BB Editor.

Someone said that part of the reason they haven’t been updated is because the authors are waiting for the new ‘plugin’ version of bbPress to be released. That’s great, except it doesn’t do any good in the meantime — for what could be a fairly simple tweak of the original code. Both “Post Notification” and “Subscribe To Topic” look like they’d fall under that heading. If we assumed they worked once, and all they’re not doing now is the notification part, you’d think that wouldn’t be very difficult to fix.

Someone else suggested I downgrade to bbPress v0.9, but (1) my heavily-tweaked theme wouldn’t load and (2) neither Zaerl Editor or BB Editor worked, so I canned the idea.

Any suggestions for replacements or fixes for the above?

Thanks,

Joe

While it pains me that this is the best use of both Matt and Otto’s time, it would be really nice if this code was shared, or at least exmplained

Thanks in advance.

This is how I parse the text: http://pastebin.com/zQunD0Kv

The a href regexp is a little naive. make_clickable doesn’t expose a filter.

[EyeSeeSound]

Ha ha, figured it out. Don’t need to change a langauge tag at all, just make sure you change the name of the forum in the General Settings

I deleted the coded title and added my own HTML so i didn’t bother changing the General Setting. Still, if someone else has this issue i hope my initial stupidity and ultimate resolution helps someone else along the way

[EyeSeeSound]

right, just uploaded the original style sheet and seen the issue.

basically, the initial design is such that the part of the post which has the users name is in white, so when the .alt tag makes it white the part of the post with the users name becomes white too, whereas i changes mine to black. In the original this looks fine, on mine it doesn’t.

I changed my .alt to grey and i can see that the code is such that the whole section changes to grey, including the user name bit, and the cute little curves on the post aren’t there.

So i guess i either have to live with it or somehow figure out how to make the .alt tag reflect the normal curved bit.

Still, at least the mystery is explained even if it isn’t resolved, and thanks for the pointer

Pagal,

You are really into bbPress, and thats great

People here, including myself, like helping you and others

The way I look at it is this: every time someone asks a question and people take the time to answer, it means more people who have that question will be able to find the answer without having to ask.

The difference is..

You don’t check first:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-disable-wp-super-chache-plugin-for-bbpress#post-72398

You start the same topic over and over:

I don’t know why people forcing me to search bbPress solutions from GOOGLE and trying to bug me off from this Support

Because it saves us from having to type the same answers over and over.

None of us are paid here, we’re all just trying to help. The more time we spend typing the same answers to the same question because someone can’t use google, the less time we have for new questions.

Your last question, was very very easy to find the answer for.

It had it’s own tag (which YOU typed in), which lead you right to the answer.

The answer was the top search result in google.

The answer was linked to 5 times on searching on this forum.

Its just a request to open my topic again.

Why bro?

I’m guessing it was closed because the question was answered

You asked a question, you got an answer that worked

That’s awesome!

Hello, bbPress Mods,

I’m really confused that what I did wrong that you’ve closed my topic about Super cache. I think I just ask a question, I’ve searched about this issue over internet but I didn’t find any solution yet that’s why I’ve asked about it in bbpress ( believe me Kev, Just my name is Pagal, But I’m really not). I also searched about it in bbPress forums but did not find any authentic answer. I don’t know why people forcing me to search bbPress solutions from GOOGLE and trying to bug me off from this Support.

I make you sure that I’ll not give any wrong reply to my “beloved” Kev about his sweet painful words. Its just a request to open my topic again.

Really Thanks,

P.S. This topic may be under “Requests and Faedback” Forum.

[chrishajer]

How did you add it Otto? What revision was the code checked in to? How did the code get updated here so quickly?

Thanks

It’s auto-embed or some fancy bbcode-like syntax?
