This isn’t BuddyPress-specific.

You can accomplish changes for the title, meta keywords, and description with a bbPress plugin or custom bbPress code.

I answered this in your post on the BuddyPress forums:

I really can’t build an entire custom plugin for you.

What you are trying to do will require API functions because the profile link doesn’t exist until it’s calculated. You’ll have to use the get_profile_link functions and send it the user id.

bb_get_profile_link($result->ID)

Is there a way to display the Forum name + link in the Topics list?

I tried with: <a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a>, but it doesn’t seem to work outside the loop.

What I am trying to achieve is simply to have the name of the forum in the Topic list, so that one can view in which Forum that particular topic belongs, and be able to click on that link, if possible, to get to that forum. (But just the name would be already great).

I really think that this is some bit of useful information when a user scans the list.

Thanks for letting me know if you gor the right code in your pocket and to share it with me.

[bb-gian]

Oh, thanks, I just found it on my own and was about to post it here.

But thanks a lot anyway, Ohna, I appreciate!

[Kar-l]

Thank you, Ohna. Yet it doesn’t solve the problem. I just tested it in English (with no translation) and the same bug appers.

<div class="nav"><a class="prev page-numbers" href="" title="Previous page">&laquo; Previous</a><a class="page-numbers" href="" title="Page 1">1</a><span class="page-numbers current" title="Page 2">2</span><a class="page-numbers" href="/page/3" title="Page 3">3</a><a class="page-numbers" href="/page/4" title="Page 4">4</a><a class="next page-numbers" href="/page/3" title="Next page">Next &raquo;</a></div>

[Ohna]

Hi, bb-gian

Try this: <?php topic_author(); ?>

[Kar-l]

A funtion on a homepage of a blog

<?php bb_latest_topics_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="nav">', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>

generates errorous output. On page 2 (and followings) it outputs:

<div class="nav"><a class="prev page-numbers" href="" title="Poprzednia strona">&laquo; Poprzednia</a><a class="page-numbers" href="" title="Page 1">1</a><span class="page-numbers current" title="Page 2">2</span><a class="page-numbers" href="/page/3" title="Page 3">3</a><a class="page-numbers" href="/page/4" title="Page 4">4</a><a class="next page-numbers" href="/page/3" title="Następna strona">Następna &raquo;</a></div>

The problem I can see is href=””

Is there any solution to this?

bbPress used: 1.01

[bb-gian]

Is there a way to dispaly the Author of a topic in the Latest Discussions list and in the Topics list?

I mean, every other forum got this feature, and I think that viewing the Author of a Topic in the list is very useful and needed for a forum, as you may want to know WHO posted that Topic, without having to click on it to see who’s the first post. Right?

Still, I didn’t find this feature enabled on any bbPress forum.

For me it’s just so weird.

So, is that a way to get the template code?

Thanks.

[Ohna]

Hi,

I want to add a link to the profile page:

foreach ($results as $result){$list.=" <li class='list_b'>".bb_get_avatar($result->ID, 25, $default)."<a href='" .$result->user_profile_link. "'>".$result->user_login."</a></li> ";}

I tried .$result->user_profile_link., but it doesn’t work, any idea ?

I didn’t have these problems when I was running .9, but when I moved to Media Temple from Dreamhost I upgraded to 1.0 RC1. I probably shouldn’t have done the upgrade at the same time.

[_Kumori_]

In functions.bb-formatting.php on line 62 there is this function:

function bb_code_trick_reverse( $text ) {

$text = preg_replace_callback("!(<pre><code>|<code>)(.*?)(</code></pre>|</code>)!s", 'bb_decodeit', $text);

$text = str_replace(array('<p>', '<br />'), '', $text);

$text = str_replace('</p>', "n", $text);

$text = str_replace('<br />', '<br />', $text);

$text = str_replace('<p>', '<p>', $text);

$text = str_replace('</p>', '</p>', $text);

return $text;

}

In my theme’s functions.php file I made a filter that replaces this function with my own that simply removes the $text = str_replace('</p>', "n", $text); and $text = str_replace(array('<p>', '<br />'), '', $text); lines and that took care of it for me when I integrated FCKeditor into my forum.

[citizenkeith]

And just as I was typing this, I got the database upgrade message again when visiting the admin panel. The upgrade message:

Beginning upgrade…

Tags copied to taxonomy tables: bb_upgrade_1080

Display names populated: bb_upgrade_1090

Index forum_stickies dropped: bb_upgrade_1100

>>> Done

Fourth time since last night.

[citizenkeith]

I’m running 1.0 on Media Temple’s Grid Service.

As reported earlier, every once in a while, bbPress requires the database to be “upgraded”. All my plugins are messed up (some on, some off) and the theme is switched to Kakumei Blue.

This happened again last night, but this time I am unable to activate certain plugins. When I try, I get fatal errors.

When activating bbPM, the error is:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in /domains/mydomain.com/html/forums/bb-includes/backpress/functions.kses.php(104) : runtime-created function on line 1

With bb Topic Views, the error is:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 14592 bytes) in /domains/mydomain.com/html/forums/my-plugins/bb-topic-views/bb-topic-views.php on line 194

For Members Online, the error is:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 14592 bytes) in /domains/mydomain.com/html/forums/my-plugins/members-online/members-online.php on line 116

For Topics Per Page, there is a fatal error but no specifics.

For Unread Posts, the error is:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 14592 bytes) in /nfs/c04/h04/mnt/68418/domains/citizenkeith.com/html/forums/my-plugins/unread-posts/unread-posts.php on line 127

Before last night, all these plugins worked fine. Then suddenly, I had another database upgrade and they wouldn’t work. I upgraded to 1.0.1 and that didn’t help.

I am going to speak to Media Temple tech support today. Hopefully these errors can be explained and perhaps help somebody else in the future.

If the new cookie has a different name, you should not be having a problem because bbpress should not even be looking at the old cookie?

You are getting a header error because you would have to put it at the very, very top of header.php before doctype – if that doesn’t work, you’d have to add it via a mini-plugin, put it into a file called function.php in your template folder

add_action('bb_send_headers','delete_old_cookie');

function delete_old_cookie() {

setcookie('wordpress_logged_in_REPLACEDcabef','',time()-3600);

}

[deadlyhifi]

Thanks _ck_. I’m sure it’s easy when you know how.

The cookie now has a different name.

my old cookies are:

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_REPLACEDcabef’;

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = ‘wordpress_sec_REPLACEDcabef’;

$bb->logged_in_cookie = ‘wordpress_logged_in_REPLACEDcabef’;

I was messing with

setcookie('wordpress_logged_in_REPLACEDcabef','',time()-3600)

just placing in the head of my page but I get a headers already sent message.

Just in case anyone else (like me) stumbles over this thread on the search for an WYSIWYG editor. The problems discussed above seem to have disappeared. I just added TinyMCE 3.2.5 to my bbPress 1.0.1 installation and it works like a charm without modifications besides the removal of obviously unsupported elements.

Cool.

[Ohna]

I think this isn’t the best practice but you can try this for the moment:

If you use a custom template, edit with a text editor:

my-templates/(name_of_your_templates)/front-page.php

after:

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

add:

<?php if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

before :

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

add :

<?php else : ?>

<?php if ( !in_array( bb_get_location(), array( 'login-page', 'register-page' ) ) ) login_form(); ?>

<?php endif; // bb_is_user_logged_in() ?>

do the same for:

my-templates/(name_of_your_templates)/topic.php

my-templates/(name_of_your_templates)/forum.php

my-templates/(name_of_your_templates)/profile.php

my-templates/(name_of_your_templates)/tags.php

my-templates/(name_of_your_templates)/tag-single.php

my-templates/(name_of_your_templates)/view.php

but your forums posts can allways be read trough the rss feed..

[_ck_]

This will show avatars

add_action('topicmeta','voices_named');

function voices_named() {

global $bbdb, $topic;

$results=$bbdb->get_results("SELECT ID,user_login FROM $bbdb->posts LEFT JOIN $bbdb->users ON poster_id=ID WHERE topic_id=$topic->topic_id AND post_status=0 GROUP BY poster_id");

$count=count($results);

if ($count>1) {

foreach ($results as $result) {$ids[$result->ID]=$result->ID;}

bb_cache_users($ids);

$list="";

foreach ($results as $result) {$list.=bb_get_avatar($result->ID, 16).$result->user_login.", ";}

$list=trim($list,", ");

echo "<li>$count members active on this topic: $list</li>";

}

}

[_ck_]

I actually had it tested in 1.0, if it’s not working in your theme and it’s a custom theme, make sure you have a do_action('topicmeta') somewhere in there.

Adding avatars makes it much more complicated, I’ll give a shot at the code in a minute.

[Ohna]

Thank’s _CK_ !!

But, your code doesn’t seem to work in bbPress 1.0 (I tried to add it in functions.php or directly in topic.php).

However I have no problem if I add your code in bbPress 9.0 theme.

I want to add ” <?php echo bb_get_avatar( $poster_id->ID, $size , $default); ?> ” in your code, but I can not ?

[deadlyhifi]

I upgraded my forum to 1.0 and at the same time converted my WP into WPMU. It was a bit of a mammoth task to be honest. I inadvertently changed the cookie values in this upgrade.

My problem now is many of my users are getting to the forum with their old cookies intact. Logging in, and, because the old cookie with the wrong value is being read accepting their details but keeping them logged out.

Is there anything I can do to force deletion of their old cookies when they visit the site. I’ve put instructions up on how to delete their old cookies, but it’s a bit lame and making me look pretty bad

[ovizii]

I guess the 1.0.1 update fixed it so far. still got two remaining issues:

– the feed still shows every topic/post double

– my key master still has (Inactive) after his name, refreshing sometimes shows him as (key master) but rarely although the integration works, wordpress realizes the user is a keymaster and logged in I can go to the admin part of wordpress and bbpress without hickups, but when viewing a key master’s psot, it still says: Inactive

[Dolugen]

@_ck_

Does it mean the 0.9 and 1.0 have different code architectures ?

[dan90036]

Thank you Ohna, one question in which file and where should I put this snippet of code?

Dan

[punktoronto]

Has this been solved? I’ve been trying to figure it out as well. Everything I’ve found is for wordpress-mu and I’m not sure what needs to be changed to use it with regular wordpress.

I found this http://insecure.no/2009/01/wordpress-and-bbpress-nice-url-rewrite-for-nginx/ it sort of works. pretty permalinks work but any attached files such as the css sheet or jquery.js returns a 404 not found error. Any Ideas?
