Yeah give us facebook connect! 
sry, i’m too stupid to program such a plugin myself xD
Yay – got it! I removed the ‘fix nofollow & _blank’ code, and discovered how to add the _blank in by experimenting. bbPress wraps the URL in double quotes, so I used this;
Click here to get it.
Works fine. Just got to add the nofollow bit back in, though that affects forum spidering from what one of those other posts says. Well, at least I can open external links in a new window (or tab in Chrome). Thanks for the help!
I just re-added _ck_’s code to bb-tweaks;
add_filter(‘post_text’, ‘bb_rel_nofollow’);
but it isn’t adding the rel=”nofollow”. No worries though, this is fine;
Click here to get it.
How about posting it as HTML not bbCode, if it’s just you?
Thanks, just installed that plugin, but it’s stripping out the URL. I posted;
Click here to get it.
and the other bb-tweak code I mentioned turned it into;
<ablah rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>Click here</ablah> to get it.
They don’t do anything because they don’t go anywhere. Take a look at the source (from the page you linked):
Get it at <a >http://www.google.co.uk/chrome.</a>
Looks like your regex is stripping out the link altogether.
I’ve had a read through some of that (brain’s worn out!) but I don’t want to force all links to open new windows, just some to external sites. Users can go external, have a read, then close that window to return to my forum. So something like;
Click here
As none of the members know bbcode it’ll only be me doing it. Well, if I could get it working. Hmm… Sam’s code on one of those threads does it pre-post, so I guess that would work, unless I linked to another post, which I don’t want in a new window.
Ok, so… I added the following code from another post to my bb-tweaks.php;
// add nofollow to externa links only
function target_nofollow_external_only( $text ) {
$domain="travel-writers-exchange.com"; // domain to exclude from target and nofollow
// Strip ALL nofollow
$text = preg_replace('|<a>|iU','</a><a>', $text);
// Add back in when needed
$text = preg_replace('|</a><a>]+http
//))(?!([^>]+'.$domain.'))(.+)>|iU', '</a><a rel="nofollow">', $text);
return $text;
}
add_filter('post_text', 'target_nofollow_external_only',999);
It stops my links from working somehow. They highlight, but don’t do anything when clicked. (Try http://mbforum.letsdoo.org/topic/if-your-web-browser-drives-you-mad).
So you want links that are in replied to open in a _blank window? Just certain ones, or every one automatically? This would make any link posted in a reply open in a new windows (i.e. adds target="blank" to any link)”

Where were you expecting the keywords? Keyword meta tags belong in the <head> section of the page. Are you talking about the admin interface or the source of the rendered page? I’m curious because I was thinking of using this as well.
I never saw even http://huddle.inversekarma.in/forums/index.php work!

I’ve read other posts on this, but I can’t get URLs to work with “target=_blank” when I add a link in a post. I use the BBcode-Lite plugin, and use blah, and have tried every variation of target=, with quotes, double quotes, slash quotes/double quotes – you name it. It all looks ok, but clicking the link always gives an error page of one form or another. Dammit, at this rate I’ll be on failblog.org before long..!
This isn’t that difficult, and there are many sites that have been doing this for months now, including my own if you excuse my defense. 
Glad to see someone is taking charge of this however. Best of luck to those guys.
Thanks Ipstenu and chrishajer.
Yeah now I notice that the /forums/license.txt file opens up. I’ve suspected htaccess to be the source of trouble. So now what do I do to fix this? HELP
Cheers tinskii – I’ll try that right away. Atsutane’s idea worked great, but to have it automatically updated is really neat.
I’ve read in a lot of places that the Meta HTML tags are ignored by Google and others, but it’s got to be useful if some search engines still use them. Many thanks. I’ll even hack around with the code and see if I can learn anything. Though I think there’s something wrong with bbPress. Whenever I modify anything, it stops working (hehe).
Below is the code I wrote for “SEO”-related tweaks. It tries to fill the description meta with something relevant, and adds keywords based on a combination of tags and site-wide words (added via the admin screen). It’s still rough round the edges. For example, it will produce duplicate descriptions on multi-page topics, and descriptions may not be terribly different from the title tag.

I have WP-MU 2.7.1 + BuddyPress 1.0.1 installed and set up at http://huddle.inversekarma.in. I have copied bbPress 1.0 Rc-1 to http://huddle.inversekarma.in/forums. Now when I try to navigate to this address, I get the “The page you were looking for was not found” error. Is there something wrong with my htaccess? Please help! Thanks
Actually u can archive that using JavaScript, CSS and Bbpress action hook. You can use CSS to hide the “Post Form” and make it visible back using JavaScript.
It kinda like using JavaScript to expand navigation menu. Well that should give you some idea
I had started to write my own xref type of code to show how bbPress worked with a function reference and a action/filter reference but I never finished it.
But you can use grep to grab a list of all the function names and all the actions/filters.
Some people have run bbpress through phpxref and you can find that around the web via google, I don’t find such listings helpful myself though.
I saw a bbPress forum somewhere, where the ‘Create New Topic’ and ‘Reply’ sections were not a visible input box, but a link like; ‘Reply ยป’ When you click the link, the input box appears in its place. Does anyone know where it is so I can look at the code? Or is it a plugin? (Can’t find anything like that). Thanks.
To add meta tag using plugin…
add_action('bb_head', 'meta_bb_header');
function meta_bb_header() {
echo 'Your meta tag here';
}
Maybe you can use ping service like Ping-o-Matic that were design for blog, to notify other service that you have update your forum. Never try it yet with bbpress so kinda don’t know how it gonna be
Another alternative maybe submit sitemap at Google Webmaster.
still haven`t found the solution 
You should only need the define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); part added to the bb-config.php, not the rest (if you upgrade to WP2.8, then you don’t need any of those additions to the bb-config.php file). The WP bbPress Integration plugin’s settings page lists some things you’ll need to add to your wp-config.php file though. Namely, you’ll need to add at least something like define('COOKIEPATH', '/');, depending on your wordpress’ installation path. Try just adding that part and see how things work. If they don’t work, try adding the other things the WP bbPress Integration Plugin settings page suggests (I added all of it’s suggestions using the latest WP2.8 and the latest bbPress 1.0-rc-1 and it broke my WP login; but with just the cookipath definition, most everything except logging in from bbP and then logging out from WP [somewhat trivial], integrates as expected).
peace~
Hello. Please read this post of mine and also this post that the previous post references
peace~
Try the new 0.9.0.5 release, this problem should be fixed there.
See [2133]
Running the latest trunk you need this to start your forum loops…
<?php if ( bb_forums( array( 'order_by' => 'forum_name' ) ) ) : ?>
...
<?php endif; ?>
