I don’t think it’s as weird or confusing as you guys are making it sound. Lots of community sites have an option to add friends, and a forum is a community. Who really knows what it’s actually for. Basically I think just to display who you’re friends on the forum are, or to get in contact with them quickly. It can help build relationships by adding people that share common interests, etc.

Once a board gets big, it can be pretty hard to find one of their posts just to click on their username to get to your friends profile!

I think this is a really cool plugin idea! Is there anything out there that can do this?

I just found a temporary solution here :

“Severity is low because it doesn’t create problem with normal users. ” :

Hi ! This is my firt post here. I’m french but I hope my english is not too bad

I DON’T use WP integration with my bbpress installation (even if my blog http://www.oreille-malade.com runs on WP).

My forum is here :

http://www.oreille-malade.com/forum

The problem is precisely I can’t access admin dashboard for a few days. I didn’t know upgrading WP to 3.0 could create a problem on my bbpress installation ?? (is it possible, really ??)

I’m quite annoyed with this problem. Any idea, someone ?

Thanks a lot !

Best Regards and thanks a lot for all the good work !

The first part will be to determine if the user is logged in.

You will probably use the function bb_is_user_logged_in() to see if they are logged in, if so, you can just continue. If not, then you need to send them to the log in form, and then redirect them after they log in back to the post they were looking for.

Something has gone wrong with their servers. It’s probably Matt’s fault.

Definitely

[Marco Rodrigues]

I give up The owner of the site should know what’s happening, I think some kind of permission is missing.

[Marco Rodrigues]

I tried with Chrome and still no form. I’m really not blind

[Marco Rodrigues]

At the top of the page: “Welcome, gothicx! View your profile (Log Out)”

@pagal, I’m sorry, but I’m logged and I don’t see the form either

[pagal]

@gothicx Respected Sir, you can see the form after login

Really simple.

[Marco Rodrigues]

It says there is a form below, but there isn’t any form, so I can’t request it

Hi _ck_ thanks. We are using a shared hosting solution right now that is the worst choice ever but we are have no money our host works well on Italy but very bad from the outside.

Do you like the solution http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=the_id -> embedded video? I’ve seen a lot of approaches:

[youtube]the_id[/youtube]

[youtube]the_entire_youtube_link[/youtube]

[youtube=the_id]

But I don’t like the idea of BBCode. The spoiler tag is <spoiler>don't read me</spoiler> which is changed on post_text in a <button> + jquery call followed by an hidden div.

I forgot the gzip (ops), thanks for the hint and thanks for all your work.

[_ck_]

Very nice!

Could use some topic-icons but that’s just me

There is some kind of weird delay (I don’t mean just the overseas hop) from the USA to that server though, adds over a second. Probably not a problem if it’s just for locals. I think it has to do with the cogentco.com ISP.

Also there is no compression on the pages.

Maybe try my bb-gzip plugin, might make it faster.

Glad that my tutorial is making so many users happy

[Trisha Cupra]

Thanks – I just wasn’t in the mood for a RTFM type of message at the time.

I appreciate your answer.

Sure, I understand you shouldn’t modify core files unless you have a gun pointed at your head.

Your alternative suggestion sounds great.

I don’t know how to do it, but at least now I have an idea of what to try to figure out what to do.

[chrishajer]

The rude reply was just spam, not directed toward you or anyone.

The first part of the text comes from topic.php:

./topic.php:14: bb_die(__('Topic not found.'));

The second part from bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:

./bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:1230:       <p class="last"><?php printf( __('Back to <a href="%s">%s</a>.'), $uri, bb_get_option( 'name' ) ); ?></p>

It’s not a good idea to modify core files, but that is where the text comes from (2 different core files.)

Maybe instead of that you could just catch if people are logged in, and redirect them to the log in page if not, then once logged in redirect to the topic they were looking for.

Got It!

And as always, THANKS!

This is one of the forums I admin and is the main playground for my plugins.

http://www.brigata.it/forum/ (warning, it’s in italian)

is a modified version of 1.0.2 paired with the blog at /blog/ (no deep integration.) Plugins used:

Ajaxed quote – customized

Akismet

bbPM – the amazing plugin of Ben. Customized in many ways

bbPress signatures

Bozo

Post Count Plus – wonderful work

zeal Avatar – modified version of the wonderful (I talk like Steve Jobs) bavatars

zaerl Easter – a plugin that hide some easter eggs on posts’ text

zaerl Editor – unreleased version with support to custom tags and emoticons. Obviously you can’t see it in action if you aren’t logged in

zaerl Emoticons – with code stolen from WordPress

zaerl GA – yet another Google Analytics plugin. But this is paired with zaerl Visibility and output the google js code only on those pages that a guest (search engine are guests) can see

zaerl Members Online – a modified version of _ck_ Members Online

zaerl Post Permalink – permalink in the form post/number

zaerl Random Description – random desc under main title

zaerl Spoiler – add the spoiler tag

zaerl Tags Administration – new tags and blah blah

zaerl URL Preview – unreleased new version that print server names after links, add target=”_blank”, auto-embed youtube videos, vimeo videos and Anobii book covers. No fancy bbcode or stuff like that. If a link is a youtube/vimeo/anobii link than it is transformed.

Finally what you see on the left is the output of my plugin zaerl Sidebar. It is my personal (and totally useless right now) attempt to bring WordPress-like widgets to bbPress. The “Membri online” is a widget registered by Post Count Plus and “Tag in evidenza” instead is a widget bundled with the plugin. Right now I have implemented these widgets: stats, most popular posts, text-only, hot-tags, views list, members online (Post Count Plus), Spam caught (Akismet), RSS and search.

If you are curious you can see transformations and tags in this topic: http://www.brigata.it/forum/topic/aiuto-forum

The theme is Kakumei with some CSS changes.

[copperblade]

Nothing special, just a black theme based on old phpBB2’s subBlack color scheme.

Example site

Download

I would have uploaded a screenshot, but I’m not sure how to do that with Google Code just yet.

The main purpose of the plug-in are those that will be finished bbPress background or other double-byte languages to Chinese users. It will back control in the smallest font size 12px, and the original text into a normal italic font. In this way, back in reality, when the Chinese had underestimated the font does not appear unclear phenomenon.

Now the plug-in made up of two ways. BbPress plug-in is a kind of normal form of release. Download plug-ins directory needs to be uploaded to the bbPress root directory my-plugins directory, and then plug in the background to enable management pages. Thus, even if the background for the English state, also appear in the background can be conducted in Chinese landscaping. Another is made with the language pack automatically starts. After the download, upload the php file to the language pack directory. This approach is only activated when the corresponding language pack to take effect.

As bbPress each update, it may involve changes to the CSS style sheet. Therefore, the plug-in certain targeted. That is not always backwards compatible. Therefore, the plug-in released time, corresponding to the bbPress version of the logo will come out. You can watch from the plug out of the version number. For example :1.0.1-1 logo for the bbPress version 1.0.1, and later, “-1” logo is the first revised version. After the release of “1.0.1-2”, “1.0.1-3”, etc. are the corresponding bbPress 1.0.1. Just plug made some changes. Only the previous version number changed, only that version of the corresponding change in bbPress.

it’s translated by Google.i’ll mod it later.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I can’t say what may be causing the conflict as I am not a JS expert.

Regarding your another question you can do that, will require some editing in the plugin file and scold him not to do that

And I am not sure what’s going on where without myself taking a look.

Blanking .htaccess and re-setting permalinks is quicker and less error-prone, imho.

[zaerl]

Ah ok. Let’s backtrace:

bb_new_user

$wp_users_object->new_user

WP_users::_put_user

WP_Pass::hash_password

$wp_hasher->HashPassword

PasswordHash::crypt_private

file bb-include/backpress/class.passwordhash.php line 113. The original comment:

# We’re kind of forced to use MD5 here since it’s the only

# cryptographic primitive available in all versions of PHP

which is true.

[zaerl]

The annoying part is that despite the RewriteBase directive all rewrite rules in .htaccess are in the form:

RewriteRule ^the-page/(something)/?$ /forum/index.php?the-page=$1 [L,QSA]

so you need to change all the rules. Or you can switch to numeric mode and then switch back to name-based permalink mode and maybe bbPress will auto-fix it for you.

[pedagog]

Thanks zaerl. However, what I meant was where is the code that converts the ‘raw’ password into the md5 hash. I know where it stores the hased password.

Sorry for the confusion.

[zaerl]

Well you have the same user database so you can easily access the user email. You should write a plugin that override the gravatar display functions (through the bb_get_avatar filter) and catch the images in /avatars (if exist). Sort of “Add Local Avatar” counterpart for bbPress.

This can be challenging without medium PHP knowledges.
