Hi _ck_

I hope you’ll be fine. I always praise your work that’s why I was really happy when you came back to bbPress.

I know this question is not related to bbPress. But I need your co-operate.

I am looking the Simple Math Captcha Plugin for My WordPress.

Yes there are lot of captcha plugins, like Sabre, Register Plus.

But they are really complicated. I need simple solution, like Human Test for bbPress.

Humble Request: Can You please convert this plugin for WordPress.

I hope, Once again you’ll give me a chance to praise your work.

Thanks, and God Bless You Always and All The Ways.

Will the new bbPress be able to support co-authors?

Apparently this here is the most commonly used co-authoring plugin, and it reportedly works with 3.0. I’ll test it myself soon.

I am wondering how I can show on topic.php the latest discussions from within the same forum that the current topic is in.

A sure it should be pretty simple but i cant seem to get it to work.

For instance here:

http://airportroute.com/test/forum/topic/simon-latham-august-10-11

I want to show the 3 other discussions that are at this point in the Mixes forum.

(this is all still in deep Beta testing)

I guess the secret must lie in this line:

´<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>´

Any ideas?

Thanks

[minervaa]

Hey CK, thanks again. I activated all of the “views” related plugins just to make it work.

The “Forum” section views is working and showing the total number of views but if I click on the “Forums” it brings the list of discussions but again the views column are empty.

I am quite confused as the list of the discussions are showing the views on the Latest Discussions list but when seeing them under “Forum” name none of them are showing the view counts

Is there any other plugins I shall be using?

[minervaa]

Hi CK,

As you advised, I newly installed the forum and template in another server. After activating your plugin “bb Topic Views” the view count on the latest disccusions is working, but it is not working on “Forum names” section. It just shows an empty column.

Any idea why it’s not working on that part?

Thanks

I’m using bbPress 1.1-alpha-2518 and there seems to be something broken with the drag-and-drop interface for forum ordering.

I have 3 forum levels, the top level and 2 nested levels. When trying to order the forums, I can drag and move the top level forums and 3rd level forums. But the 2nd level forums won’t budge.

I tested this in all major browsers with the same result.

Maybe upgrading to jQuery 1.4 broke something in the script that handles forum sorting?

[andrusch]

Hi, I’ve made some tests and I have seen that the topics are not loading (links not working) when the permalinks are set to be name based.

[Rich Pedley]

It is still in the process of being developed, you can keep an eye on the progress here. Though I think when it is near to be being ready for a few people to test it it might be added to the plugin repository over on WordPress.org.

The last estimate was that it might be ready for some initial tests in a month – but don’t expect a full release for several months as yet.

I have just started using bbpress and I would like the theme to look like the main wordpress theme ie use the header and footer. I came across themepress but when i installed it i get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /forums/bb-templates/ThemePress/front-page.php on line 1

I am using the latest version of bbpress and wordpress ie wp 3.0.1 and bb 1.0.2

is there a better way to integrate the theme?

[brucini]

sorry didn’t see this

Possible to make certian forums not appear in latest discussion?

the core bit of info posted in this thread below. this worked fine for me with BBPress 1.0.2:

Just edit it to exclude whatever forum numbers you want and add it to the plug-ins folder.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: exclude

*/

function filter_front_page_topics($where){

$exclude_forums=array ("13","19"); // enable this to manually specify specific forums by id #

// $forums = get_forums(); foreach ($forums as $forum) {if ($forum->forum_parent) {$exclude_forums[]=$forum->forum_id;}} // exclude ALL sub-forums

if ( is_front() ) {foreach($exclude_forums as $forum) { $where.=" AND forum_id != ".$forum." "; }}

return $where;

}

add_filter( 'get_latest_topics_where', 'filter_front_page_topics');

add_filter( 'get_latest_posts_where', 'filter_front_page_topics');

?>

[brucini]

hi,

I’m not using a latest discussion plugin, but want to prevent posts in a specific forum from showing in the latest discussions.

how can I do this?

cheers

[kaihsynliu]

This is my first try to translation.

Have tested on my own install of bbPress for couple times.

How do I submit it to the bbPress?(Can I?)

Sincerely.

[chrishajer]

It’s because your host is using PHP 5.3. Those deprecated messages can be hidden without affecting the functionality of your site at all.

Tons of Depreciated Errors

This is fixed in the latest trunk release of bbPress, but turning off the display of deprecated messages will resolve the problem as well.

[aspen102]

Example:

Let’s say front-page.php lists 3 categories

Fruits

Veggies

Meats

If you were to click on Fruits; I’d like the next page to show the subforums of that parent excluding veggies, & meats forums. Any comments appreciated.

Basically, I want categories with sub-forums but in a format/structure that you would find in phpbb where subforums are cleanly kept on the next page. Why? Because showing everything in one location can get a bit messy. Especially with subforums.

I have searched through the bbpress forum for this and was able to get the following to work related to the front-page.php portion. Now I just need to get the 2nd page to show the children of the category. Currently it isn’t doing that.

*****front-page.php which works in only displaying the categories****************

<?php foreach( $forums as $forum ) : if( !$forum->forum_parent ) { ?>

<tr<?php alt_class(‘forum’); ?>>

<td>“><?php forum_name(); ?> <small><?php forum_description(); ?></small></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php } endforeach; ?>

---

Now I would like the child accounts to show up in forum.php

Any suggestions? Or where I could look? Once you click on the parent forum it just takes you to that category forum.php page, with no children. i need the children to show up but only for that parent.

*****forum.php which I need to show the children*********************

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

<?php if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>

<?php login_form(); ?>

<div id=”main”>

<div id=”forums”>

<h3 class=”bbcrumb”>“><?php bb_option(‘name’); ?> » <?php forum_name(); ?></h3>

<?php if ( $topics || $stickies ) : ?>

<table id=”latest”>

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘Topic’); ?> — <?php new_topic(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Last Poster’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Freshness’); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php if ( $stickies ) : foreach ( $stickies as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php _e(‘Sticky:’); ?> <big>“><?php topic_title(); ?></big></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td>“><?php topic_title(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

</table>

<p>“><?php _e(‘RSS feed for this forum’); ?></p>

<div class=”nav”>

<?php forum_pages(); ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php post_form(); ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

</div>

HI Pastor Bob,

writing on an phone, so can’t write out full code, but you also want to test for “post_position=1” to check if it’s the first post.

[pastorbobsforum]

Hello.

I want to start by thanking the following developers: _ck_, Nightgunner5, Yu-Jie Lin, Olaf Lederer and michelwppi; for their time and effort in bringing about some very useful plugins.

I have a few comments of my own, and in some cases, very important questions as well.

Even though I have very few genuine users on my forum – four to be more precise, I have decided to (try to) offer as good of a service as I can. I have had a couple of spam posts (5.88%), which Akismet handled impeccably so far.

Also, in the last few days I have had about 20-25 new users that only registered, and considering some of their email addresses, have no other intention but to spam. In this case, another useful plugin came to my rescue, Enhanced Registration, which appears to be doing the perfect job. In conjunction with this plugin, I am using New User Notification Email, so I am always notified whenever a new user registers and if in X hours he/she doesn’t login, then their username is removed and my database kept clean. A very good combination in my opinion.

Further on, a common plugin for moderation that I am also using is bbPress Moderation Suite, and I am sure that it would prove its worth when people will be more interested in what I have to say on my forum. Anyway, I think it’s missing a very useful feature, provided (luckily enough) by Moderate new members’ first posts. Now, I have no doubt that this last plugin is working fine with some people, but not with me. What I wanted was to be notified once at an email address of my own choice (other than admin_email), whenever a new member made his first post (or after two). After that, he/she would post unhindered.

So, I (think that I) have identified the section in the plugin that needs attention, where the post count is made:

if(!is_moderator($bb_current_user->ID)) {

$sql = "

SELECT COUNT(*)

FROM $bbdb->posts

WHERE poster_id = $bb_current_user->ID AND post_status = 0

";

$userpostcount = intval($bbdb->get_var($sql));

}

And where they are marked for moderation (as spam):

if($userpostcount <= POST_NUMBER_MODERATION) {

$sql2 = "

UPDATE $bbdb->posts

SET post_status = 2

WHERE poster_id = $bb_current_user->ID

";

$markedasspam = $bbdb->get_results($sql2);

}

Now, I wouldn’t know what or where to edit in order to have it do what I want, and that is why I would appreciate it if someone who does know it would assist me. No matter how many times my dummy user called “testing” makes a post, I always get a notification, at the default email address.

I only want to be notified of the first post because I am using xili New Post Notification (xnpn) for the rest of them, at a different email address. What I like about this plugin is that it gives me the possibility to assign an email address of my own choice. It’s true that I would get an email twice when an user would post for the first time (2 plugins), but I can live with that, since they are at different email addresses (the default and my choice).

Thank you,

Bob

[ph23man]

Yep, that’s probably it. Thanks for pointing this out! At least now I know why it’s happening.

That IS a pretty serious bug, but there is no public, stable release of bbpress that contains this fix. Latest version is 1.02 and it’s affected by this bug.

How safe is it to run the trunk version on a production site with existing 1.x plugins? You guys seem very close to having a stable release – milestone 1.03 has no open tickets and 1.1 only has 3.

[chrishajer]

There was a serious bug in earlier version of bbPress:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1150

If you delete a topic without any posts, you UNDELETE all posts, even posts on other topics.

Maybe a moderator did that, deleted a topic without posts? I think it’s probably something related to moderation.

It’s fixed in the latest trunk release.

[ph23man]

I’ve had this very odd issue suddenly crop up. All deleted posts on my forum have automatically become undeleted. Basically the post_status field in the bb_posts table is getting reset to 0 for all posts.

I’m running bbpress 1.02 that’s deep integrated with WP Multisite 3.0.1 (with Buddpress 1.2.5.2). It’s deep integrated, but I run bbpress by itself, NOT as a component of Buddypress (in the groups component). The site’s been running for a year and I’ve never experienced this issue until now.

Is there any code in bbpress that could cause something like this? Reseting all posts?

My web host recently upgraded PHP from 5.2.13 to 5.2.14 very recently, could there be some kind of incompatibility?

Another side-effect of this is that it throws off paging on topics and cuts off newer posts in the topic. The number of pages shown for each post stays the same even though deleted posts are visible again so this essentially pushes newer posts back. Doing a recount doesn’t fix this.

I’m having a hard time finding the cause although I somehow reproduced the problem. I had thought a moderator had restored deleted posts so I was going back deleting some posts that had been undeleted. When I was all done, I did a full recount. A few minutes later I found that all the posts that I had just re-deleted were restored again! I tried deleting some more posts and doing some recounts haven’t been able to reproduce the problem again.

I’m running the following plugins:

– Ajaxed Quote 1.2

– Allow Images 0.8

– BBcode Lite 1.0.3

– bbPress Moderation Suite 0.1-rc2

– bbPress signatures 0.2.0

– bbPress Smilies 0.0.8

– bb Topic Views 1.6.4

– BBVideo 0.24

– BuddyBar in bbPress 1.0.4

– Forum Last Poster 0.0.5

– Hidden Forums 0.0.9

– Post Count Plus 1.1.11

I’ve been running these plugins for a long time. The most recent one was bbpress Moderation Suite but I tested it pretty extensively on a development site (mirror) without issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

[mikkelsen]

I spotted this blogpost from WPMU.org in my RSS-feed today.

“bbPress 1.2 (the plugin) is said to be stable enough to start testing as soon as September 15 and the full release will most likely coincide with that of BuddyPress 1.3.”

http://wpmu.org/bbpress-forums-will-be-removed-from-buddypress-download-packgage/

Is there any chance that will happen?

[vshal]

hi,

here is the url : http://forums.bombayclubcanada.com/

When i login as a test user and post anything it errors out on me, I can give you login information if you like or you can register as a user to test.

Thanks a ton once again for your help.

[kevinjohngallagher]

It’s really unlikely a single user could have done something.

Excuse the obvious nature of the questions, and i aprecaite that you’ll have answered them in teh text above, but this isn’t a normal everyday bug, so we’re starting from scratch:

1) What version of WordPress?

2) What version of bbPress?

3) Are they integrated (share login cookies)?

4) Are they “deep integrated” (can call functions in the other program)?

5) Do you have the latest version of akismet on both WP and bbP?

6) Can you log into WordPress?

7) Can your other users log into WordPress?

Can people register with WordPress?

9) Can people register with bbPress?

10) Can people log into bbPress?

11) Have to tried disabling all plugins and trying again?

12) If so, have to tried switching to the default theme?

13) Are you using a premium (paid for) theme?

14) Are you using buddyPress?

15) What has changed since Friday?

16) What WordPress plugins are you using?

17) Are you using WP MultiSite?

18) Did you know that “registered users only” plugin has been marked by others as not working for WP3.0.1 on the plugin repository?

I know it’s a load of info, sorry, but it will help.

Very few, if any, bbPress plugins change the “role” for bbPress users, simply due to it’s rather convoluted nature.

Hopefully, we’ll get this fixed

[RedBull]

Hello juboe,

_ck_ has developed an “instant password” plugin. The link is: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/installation/

As he suggests you may want to install the “Human Test” plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/

as the instant password will automatically log you in upon registering.

Create a folder titled my-plugins. Upload the plugin to the folder. Go to your bbpress admin interface and activate. You will now see a password field in your registration page.

Hope this helps!

Hi all,

i am following this: http://wpbbpthemes.org/integration/

with WP 3.0.1 (multi user) and the latest bbpress.

now at step 2.19 i can’t seem to login to the bbpress dashboard. mydomain.com/forum/bb-admin redirects to mydomain.com/forum/.

– i am already login in WP

– i have bbpress and WP in root

Any ideas/tips

[rajada]

Well, after some tests, it turned out to be Profanity FIlter… by _ck_ >_> so fix it… no, joking, its by Ben L.

To be honest that thing was more trouble that it was worth, censoring the f-bomb censored ANY ‘er’s for some reason. If I white-listed ‘er’ then you’d see ****er which is kind of obvious… Either way, thanks guys and anyone got any recommendations for profanity filters that WON’T break my forums? XP
