Hi _CK_,

I am trying to make the forum as users can’t post html links i.e if they post a site link on their topic, it will become non click able plain text but only admin can post a html link on the topic.

After implementing Zaerl’s plugin it is still allowing html links on the post. I tested vigorously – all of the posts were made by different non admins (basic members)

I just tested your plugin as well but it is still the same. It is not converting the html links to plain text I’m afraid.

Hi,

I am building a forum (http://donnasdream.co.uk/forum) to co-exist with my existing wordpress blog (http://donnasdream.co.uk).

I have tried to install BB-Mobile and followed the instructions to the letter however i cannot get it to work. I am using version 1.0.2 of BB-Press and the latest version i can find of BB-Mobile.

As my work for the website involves me travelling around quite alot i really need to be able to access a mobile version of the forum like i can for the main site so i can quickly reply to posts etc (http://donnasdream.co.uk should show a mobile site on most touch screen phones).

Does anyoneknow anything i can do to get this working, even if its a crude work-around (the mobile site is more for me to use as i dont think the majority of the visitors to the site will use it).

Many thanks in advance

Az Mansell

Hola,

1. Plugins: Bozo users + Delete all bozos + Akismet + Skip Akismet (for admins and moderators) + Human test

2. bbPress is going to be in glotpress soon (I hope), meanwhile you can download the translation on your language made by the community

3. You can restrict access to bots with a robots.txt too

4. I recommend bbpress because is great for SEO, simple to use and friendly with your hosting needs (very light). It comes with some lacks yet (you cannot move a post from one forum to another) but it have a great future, much more when it will come as a wp plugin

¡Saludos!

1. Spammers – use Human Test to prevent them from registering the first time around. I can’t recommend Akismet because of the false positives and the fact that it doesn’t block all spammers.

2. Translation – not sure what to tell you. Translation takes time.

3. What needs to be managed with search engine traffic? If you have an XML sitemap, the search engines will follow it. If not, they follow links, unless you don’t want them to.

4. I don’t recommend anything other than bbPress, but only because I have never used anything else. The versions available now are standalone and in the future bbPress will be a WordPress plugin.

[minervaa]

**Keep in mind that, obviously, it is not retroactive. Preexisting posts aren’t affected.**

Yap I know that, I posted few new posts (by non admin member) just to test it

I am not a professional programmer but I think if we can change the code (maybe on post.php file?) where it says “make” http:// and www. texts to hyperlink, maybe it will work?

Just a thought by the way

[kevinjohngallagher]

Thanks Raize,

I’ve not had a good laugh on these forums in months

VanillaForums (v1) was a good effort, for a small few it matched their needs well, and certainly had a community that wanted to drive it on. v2 though, and it’s 2.5 year development cycle, has been quite disasterous with some brilliant spin.

The plan to move to a custom built platform “Garden” (their equivalent of backPress) was re-written twice over 2 years, and just 3 months ago they also changed how all v2 forums are themed – by using an external templating system called Smarty instead of PHP.

That said, it’s not like bbPress is without it’s issues either (people in glass houses etc…), but given the poor state of a just released and not brilliantly tested software thats taken over 2 years to throw together… I’d probably not make too many assumptions that it’s going to impact other software in the same vertical, ha, and I’d sure as heck not tell people to pack their bags

[Rich Pedley]

Well bbPress as a plugin is progressing, and last official word was that there would be a testable version in a few weeks.

[Daniel Juhl]

I just found the code making the “error”.

/bb-includes/class.bb-locale.php : Line 445

$num = number_format( $number, $decimals, $bb_locale->number_format, $bb_locale->number_format );

I can also tell, that the server is up to date, running the latest PHP 5 etc.

Fortunately, I have stored the settings of my bbPress in my laptop. I uploaded again in the former path. I reloaded the former site, and it worked. Then I changed the path, and tested whether it works in their new path. It worked! I deleted the old folder, and I have no problem in my root directory.

The service guy in my hosting company has had hard time, ad the setting was not in Enlgish. I still wonder what makes it work in Korean language even after I have delelted all the non-English related settings, files and folders.

Installed WP3.0.1 and latest version of bbpress as of this week, everything seemed to install fine, logins work across both but I have no Admin link on the forum.

What can I check to see what’s missing?

Thanks.

[Ricardo]

i quickly made a crash course on how to use svn (tortoise) to download latest version and it says ir downloaded version 2535 to my pc, tested it locally using wampserver but it says

bbPress 1.1-alpha-2530 in the admin panel

do i need to download each file from :

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/

to get version 2535?

[Ricardo]

here’s the screenshot showing the fix + sitemap generator work properly, i tested it by sbmitting it to google

[chrishajer]

Thanks for the screenshots, those are perfect. There doesn’t seem to be anything weird with the .htaccess or permalinks settings, and it looks like you are accessing the proper directory.

As the other thread mentioned, there were public HTML files in two locations on the server, and that poster had installed into a directory that was not being served, making it look like the files were not there.

One thing that is probably unrelated – the forum files have loose permissions. The directories have 775 and they should be 755, and the files (php, css, js, images) should have 644, but they have [edit] 664. Should not matter, but some hosts won’t serve content when the permissions are too permissive.

Please do a test. Put a html file in the WordPress root (where the forum directory is located) and see if you can access it at http://klinewedding.com/test.html. If that comes up, put another file in the forum directory, and see if you can access that at http://klinewedding.com/forum/test-2.html. That will ensure we are looking at the correct directories. The file can be as simple as this:

<html><head><title>WordPress test</title></head><body><p>Test WordPress</p></body></html>

Save that as test.html in the WordPress root. See if you can access it by URL. Then try the same in the forum directory.

[chrishajer]

bb-lover, I closed your topic because it is WordPress specific and asking _ck_ for help specifically. You should post at wordpress.org or any of the other WordPress-specific help sites, or try contacting _ck_ directly at her site bbshowcase.org.

Closing this topic because it too has turned WordPress-specific as well.

[cyberskier]

I’m trying to install bbpress at a test site, klinewedding.com.

– I uncompress the files

– I then upload the files to my root directory, in a folder “forum” (so the files are at klinewedding.com/forum

I can’t get any further. When I navigate to http://klinewedding.com/forum, I get a 404 error. It is as if my site isn’t seeing any of the uploaded files.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Evan

[Ricardo]

can’t help you porting it to wordpress but i have a suggestion for you:

WP-captcha free

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-captcha-free/

its the one i use and it doesnt require any action from the user.

its very clever how it works…i’ll try to explain…

a normal form for comments has 3 fields, all spam bots automatically fill all 3, what this pluggin does is addding a fourth field only visible to spam bots, if the fourth box id filled it automatically means its been made by an automated spam bot and that coment its blocked… at least its how i understand it works but i might be confused with another one.

Try it, visitors don’t like math problems etc.

Edit: it seems you want to block spammers from the registration form… don’t know if this pluggin works when a user tries to register.

[bb-lover]

I don’t know why my this topic is closed without any reason.

@Moderators: Did I say something wrong?

@_ck_ I think this plugin is for only comments?

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/math-comment-spam-protection/

I need simple math captcha plugin for wordpress registration form, like Human Test for bbPress.

If you are not interested then other developers are welcome here and their help would be appreciated.

But if someone else wants to convert it they are more than welcome.

If anyone else want this plugin please ask in this topic.

I’m hoping this topic will not be closed if any Mod don’t like it.

Thanks,

bb-lover

Hi everyone!

Ive been playing with some forum software/scripts and i would like to ask the bbpress/wordpress coummunity some questions/opinions on this.

I’ve tested bbpress and so far i can see its a very lightweight forum system, it integrates nicely with wordpress, it doesnt have many functions the competition has but in my opinion most of them are really not needed and make the forum heavy on server resources.

Having said this here’s the questions?

1- Spammers – How’s the protection/management on this, is there a way of bulk deleting spammers or keeping them “at bay”?

2- Translation – i’ve been trying to translate bbpress but the info on how to do it is mostly wordpress as the process is very similar…so i looked in to online translation tools but none of them have bbpress as a project…not even Glotpress itself…i know there are desktop tools but for example i tried poedit and i only want to translate what the user sees not the admin panel, but it seems i have to copy every line to the translated section…there isnt a method to copy all strings and then edit the ones i want, i would take me a while doing it one by one and my professional life doesnt allow me, im sure more are interested in this and adding bbpress to glotpress would be a good idea as “everyone” could “chip in”.

3- search engines – some of the traffic to forums are made by search engines but unlike the competition bbpress doesnt have a method to manage them, the last forum script i tried was mybb and it has a whole section dedicated to bots and their permissions. Can this be overcomed in bbpress with a simple sitemap? the way i see it a sitemap only has urls not the content… if i keep the forum readble to everyone will the sitemap be enough, the way i see it the bot finds the url in the sitemap and then crawls the pages for content, i think this is enough.

4- Besides bbpress what other forum scripts would you recommend, personnaly mybb and fluxbb caught my eye and seem very lightweight, also i noticed the wp-foum pluggin as been forked into the WP Forum Server, one of the things i like on a forum is the ability to have a name based permalink like wordpress and bbpress, i find this feature very usefull as people can see by the words on the url (hovering mouse above link) what the link is about.

I know its a lot of questions but any info even if little is apreciated.

Thanks

[zaerl]

I have written a plugin that does what you want but isn’t released to the public.

The code that follow deactivate all HTML tags. Keep in mind that it’s not tested at all.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: zaerl No HTML

Plugin URI: http://www.zaerl.com

Description: no HTML tags in posts

Author: zaerl

Author URI: http://www.zaerl.com

Version: 0.1

*/



function za_nh_allow_tag($tags)

{

return array();

}



function za_nh_initialize()

{

add_filter('bb_allowed_tags', 'za_nh_allow_tag');

}



add_action('bb_init', 'za_nh_initialize');



?>

If you are interested contact me.

Don’t take it personally – akismet screws up dozens of posts here each week, seemingly at random. It either doesn’t like your IP or email address or some weird combo of keywords. It’s also probably why you had so much trouble registering.

At least you spoke up, imagine how many other people have tried to post here and gave up in vain and wrote off bbpress entirely.

This is why I tell people not to use akismet but human-test/blocklist instead and rely on mods to look for bad posts.

Hi I installed the latest trunk version now my feed wont show via Buzzboost of feedburner, anyone have a clue?

[Ricardo]

Hi everyone!

I´ve just installed bbpress and the nicer permalink pluggin (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nicer-permalinks/), it works but it kind of messes up the sitemap, ive tried 2 sitemap pluggins and same result

for example the topic url is:

mydomain/forum/mytopic.html

but the sitemap url is:

mydomain/forum//mytopic.html (double // before the individual topic permalink)

Can anyone tell me if im doing something wrong or check if its the pluggin fault?

i deactivated the nicer permalink plugin, added a dummy post to refresh the sitemap and voilá the url is correct without “//”, i guess its the pluggin fault here.

think i might have found something in the nice-filters.php file, altough im no expert it seems the error comes from here, but i think its a fix from someone, so removing the “/” will break something..

function get_forum_nicer_link( $link ) {

global $bb;

// Remove redundant "forum" word from forum link and append '/'. Mandatory! Props: Mohta

return str_replace( $bb->uri . 'forum/', $bb->uri, $link ) . '/';

heres my forum (test) url: http://www.ricardouk.com/forums/

and my sitemap url: http://www.ricardouk.com/forums/sitemap.xml

Thank you

I probably won’t be working on WordPress anymore, at least I hope.

But if someone else wants to convert it they are more than welcome.

I find it hard to believe with the dozens of captcha plugins for WP, none can satisfy you. How about this one?
