But its common for all of these spambot registrations, that they have the exact same interests.

I would prefer that no spambots register at all, but when they appear so sophisticated, I hesitate with deleting them right away.

Human Test is kind of old now, and there are new programs out there like this: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/nospamuser/

That any good? Or better? Can you run both?

[kevinjohngallagher]

There is no automated program that will catch 100% of spam.

Or even close to it. Your best bet is to attempt to find a solution that works for you.

Human Test plugin doesn’t actually test if someone is Human, it just checks if the answer in the input box is right. The bots usually have a good guess at these, and over time get them right once in a while. Its hardly fool proof (but then, doesn’t claim to be).

Ofcourse, thats not really spam either, thats just spammer registrations.

You could make sure that only people you approve can post. And you should be running something like Akismet also.

The best spambot plugin? You. The moderator.

Also, on your website Interests and Location are not required to be a correct answer, so that plays no part in the passing or failing of the Human Test plugin.

Curtesy of the ajaxed-quote plugin:

function replay_link() {

if ( !bb_is_topic() ) return false;



global $page, $topic, $bb_post;



if ( !$topic || !topic_is_open( $bb_post->topic_id ) || !bb_is_user_logged_in() || !bb_current_user_can('write_posts') )

return false;



$post_id = get_post_id();



$add = topic_pages_add();

$last_page = get_page_number( $topic->topic_posts + $add );



if ( $page == $last_page ) return '#post_content';

} else return get_topic_link( 0, $last_page ) ) . '#postform";

}

Not tested.

I have been running Human Test for a while. But now it seems to be failing.

Lately, several accounts have been created with similiar email adresses and interests.

Usually the interests are: Interests: Music, Location: Oslo, Occupation: Student.

It seems they all might be picking Oslo in Norway, because that is where the IP of my website is located.

How are they bypassing Human Test. And is there a new plugin I should be using instead?

I’ve been using Support Forum plugin (by so1o, mdawaffe and SamBauers) since a couple of months now, but it was just today that I noticed its latest update is on November ’08…

Is there any chance it will get updates in the future? It currently has some minor bugs, configuration page display issues and it features A LOT of unnecessary queries to the database!

Recently I’ve begin wondering to heavily modify this great plugin on my own, but before actually start working I’d like to know from the authors if there is any updated unreleased version out there.

Thank you in advance!

[kevinjohngallagher]

Can i just add that i LOVE that linking to WordPress.org makes me a spammer.

I’ll go read this again while I wait: http://ma.tt/2009/08/kill-your-community/

Treat Everyone the Same.

If I’ve left hundreds of great comments over many years on your site, please make me wait in the moderation queue like some random stranger off Digg. Don’t let anyone know I’m a regular, or talk to me, or invite me to test out beta stuff, or pretty much anything that acknowledges my existence or shows any degree of trust.

[gerikg]

The alternative is pixepoint, i don’t know if you want to test that.

[Greg]

Ok, now I’m just confused. With our custom theme I am seeing 50+ queries. I was previously ignorant of this because “get_num_queries()” apparently isn’t returning a result for the site overall.

But on Kakumei, I still only see 19 queries overall.

I can see what optimization needs to be done on the custom theme thanks to the “SAVEQUERIES” magic incantation, but I’d still love to know why you’re getting 56.

Did you do the deep integration test on the standard themes?

[kevinjohngallagher]

brilliant, thanks zaerl.

While you’re here mate, are there any more functions like that (for defining testing for pages) ?

Thanks

[kevinjohngallagher]

No, there is no equivalent to the best of my knowledge.

You could write one yourself that tests for the URL or basename of the file/folder you’re in – it’s not ideal, but very little is here.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Great! Screenshots make life so much easier.

Ok so you physically know the files are there, but can’t load them in the browser (we get a 404).

If you’ve had htaccess issues before, I’d have a look there first, but really if it’s loading bbPress it shouldn’t be an issue (always good to rule things out though).

My gut, growing by the day sadly, tells me it’s a permissions issue. Which is not to say you’ve done anything wrong. Make sure that the “my-templates” directory and all directories/subfolders are at 0755.

Test again. if things work, then change everything under the “my-templates” directory to 0644, and confirm working.

Finally, and this is out on a limb a little, check you’re not running any caching plugins in wordpress.

If that doesn’t work, we’ll see what we can find in the back (the back is a mythical place apparently)

======================================================================

EDIT: Actually, do you have some form of htaccess command to change everything from http://www.shoeynet.com to just http://shoeynet.com ?

That might not be it, but it’s something else to knock off the list.

I am running WordPress 3.0 on a Turnkey Linux based server that is my own (not hosted). I downloaded the latest version (1.0) of bbPress and put it in /var/www/wordpress on my server. I went to mysite.org/bbpress (that’s not my actual domain, but it’s an intranet site anyway so it doesn’t matter) and went through the installer. I created a mysql database and everything else. I skipped integrate with WordPress (for now) and the installer worked. I went to mysite.org/bbpress and I could see the front page of the forum and everything looked fine. When I try to log in using the Key Master username and password I got from the install, I get sent to a page with:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/wordpress/bbpress/bb-config.php:1) in /var/www/wordpress/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-auth.php on line 273

I went and deleted everything and started over with the same result. I don’t know if it means anything, but I didn’t get an email from the site with the Master Key password either. Can anyone give me an idea of what I might be doing wrong? I not a coding expert, but I can usually figure these kind of things out. I would really like to use bbPress as it looks like the best forum for my users (which includes a wide range of people many of whom are not technologically savy). If you need any more technical details let me know. Thanks in advance.

Untested, but should work. (Change the lt thing to a less than sign – the bbPress.org forums have some kind of glitch).

Have installed the latest bbpost version and successfully integrated it with my wordpress site. I am looking for someone to integrate bbpost into my existing wordpress theme (cubit). Please post a bid.

Integration must be clean and meticulous. Css not as important – I can do that later myself.

PayPal payment preferred.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Ah sorry Chris, I wasn’t clear.

What I meant was this:

• We want/need people to test a year’s worth of code in 1.0.3
• Why not download the latest version.
• Apply the the patch to that downloded code.
• Put in a zip file.
• Rename Zip file “bbpress-1.0.3-alpha.zip”
• Upload to website
• Ask people to download and test.

We know we can’t release 1.0.3 into the wild given that it’s whole implementation is questioned by the bugs in 1.1; but it’ll at least give us a heads up on a year’s worth of bugs.

[kaluwu]

I have installed the wp multisite 3.0. and bbpress the latest version. Everything is fine. But when I click on forum, it lead me to another different templet which is the bbPress templet instead of my WP-MS templet. How can I use both with one site without going to the bbPress theme? Anyone?

[kevinjohngallagher]

Actually,

Don’t we package and include BackPress with every release?

Why are we reliant on the BackPress team at all, can’t we just apply the patches to BackPress as we release them for testing?

If thats teh case, cant we get an alpha for 1.0.3 out the door soon? Maybe ask people to test it and get a few bugs in while waiting on 1.1 development?

[kevinjohngallagher]

You know, I love the silent updates to the site; but at the risk of sounding ungraetful – Could you please TEST the chanegs after you’ve made them Live??

Clicking RSS links within the body of a page (ie, “RSS feed for this topic”, etc.) results in the following error on Google Chrome (5.0.375.86 beta):

This page contains the following errors:

Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

This is not happening with Firefox. Also, everything is fine if you were to manually copy the link and add it as a subscription to Google Reader.

I have verified that this is happening regardless of the Permalinks scheme. I have not done any integration with WordPress for this instance of bbPress, although I am running WordPress on a separate subdomain on the same host.

BTW, similar thing is happening with the version of bbPress currently up at bbpress.org/forums, ie it blows up in Chrome / fine in Firefox, although it’s a different error.

[_ck_]

Reminder to whomever is doing the subtle fixes I am seeing, the backtick/code tag is still broken here.

example:

testing code, fixed? <?php if (2>1) {echo "testing";} ?>

you should not see &gt/&lt/&quot or multiple ;;; in the above example.

In fact even outside of backticks there is still a htmlentity encoding problem

[Abdessamad Idrissi]

thank you guys,

@psycheangels

I checked the database and my forum as well and can’t find any problem either with forum_slug or post_position, if you have this problems, maybe, you are using an old bbpress or phpbb3 installation, it is recommended that you update both your phpbb3 and bbpress installation to the latest versions (as stated in this page title) before proceeding with the convertion.

[yangt299]

Tested.

Will not work with W3 Total Cache either. Shame. Any other good cache plugins?

[Abdessamad Idrissi]

ABOUT

A script to help you convert you phpbb3 (version 3.0.7) forum to bbpress (version:1.0.2) forum. This code is an update to the code made by wmnasef (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release).

GET IT @

http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/

BUGS CORRECTED

* works with bbpress 1.0.2

* corrects the single quote problem

* corrects the login problem

HOW TO INSTALL

1. make a backup from your online forum (if possible make an exact copy of your forum in your localhost server, this prevents any damage to the online forum).

2. install bbpress anywhere, just use the same database of phpbb3. this is important because the script assumes that all tables are in the same database.

3. download the script from here. extract it, and you’ll get 2 files.

4. copy the file phpbb3tobbpress.php to “phpbb3/” directory.

5. copy the file _phpbb3_pass.php to bbpress/my-plugins/ directory (if it doesn’t exist, create it!).

6. go to http://path-to-phpbb3/phpbb3tobbpress.php and start converting your board.

7. voila .. all your data is converted to bbpress tables, go to your bbpress installation and login. don’t forget to visit admin->manage->recount to make sure your converted board is updated.

As said before, it is advised to copy your phpbb3 forum to a localhost installation and make the conversion as stated in the steps above, this way if you have big forum with thousands of posts, it is easier and safer to run the conversion on localhost.

Hope this helps and thanx to the original poster.

woah woah woah (sweet child of mine)

There’s no doubt we’re doing exceptionally well in how far we’ve come with this, especially given that the Project Lead left 4 months ago, but we’re not anywhere near that stage.

1.0 had 10 alphas (though pre-Alpha6 was massively different to Alpha7-10).

It had no beta’s. It had 1 RC which was turned into an actual release 7 days later with minimal bug fixes, and we’ve been stuck with these bugs for a year because of it.

If you want to help, and it’s awesome you do, please download the latest nightly build from the Trunk and report bugs like mad.

There should be no real alpha/beta/rc packages until we’ve squashed all the existing tickets (possible exception to backPress reliant ones).

The moer bugs we find now (in the nightly builds) the more confident we’ll all be in the Alphas that we put out there

And Gautam, excellent work once again.
