Is there a way to limit the amount of latest discussion shown on the front page? There are currently 30 of them and I want to cut that number down to 10-15.

Long live bbPress!

I’m having this same issue in a test forum I’m running at the moment. Adding tags doesn’t refresh the page, consistently in certain topics. And when it does, the whole page reloads, rather than just the tag section via ajax…

This problem happens when using the default theme.

Any ideas? kirpi.it didn’t say how it was fixed!?

I want to organize my front-page.php to show where the topic is from.

How to get Forum name from Topic? in Troubleshooting

I want to know how to get “Troubleshooting”

I’m assuming <?php forum_name(***topic ID HERE***); ?>

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/user-photo-for-bbpress/

Hi, I’m trying to display the avatar of the person who started the forum topic on the mainpage, in the place of the last posters name, in the latest discussions area.

I’ve tried using the way it displays in profiles

<?php if ( $avatar = bb_get_avatar( $member->ID ) ) : ?>

<div id=”useravatar”><?php echo $avatar; ?></div>

<?php unset($avatar); endif; ?>

It does not work. I’ve tried pulling it like in a post

<?php post_author_avatar_link(); ?>

Nothing. One more

<?php

if (function_exists(‘bb_get_photo’))

bb_get_photo($user->ID);

?>

No joy there either. I tried using this function

<img src=”<?php echo USERPHOTO_URL . $profileuser->userphoto_image_file . “?” . rand() ?>” alt=”<?php _e(“Full size image”, ‘user-photo’); ?>” />

and it almost does it…

http://localhost.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/userphoto/?29089

but as you can see it does not grab the users avatar, (1.jpg) although it’s pointing to the right place.

has anyone ever gotten avatars showing on the mainpage with the user photo plugin? I am aware other plugins exist for avatars but they do not suit my needs, apart from this one hickup, user photo is the best for wordpress/bbpress shared avatars. The guy who made it has long since left

Hi. For some reason, my deleted users keep reappearing. I keep deleting all users that have 0 posts and include .ru in their email address, and all of those exact users keep reappearing on the list. Any suggestions? I just loaded this plugin today, so I assume I have the latest version.

I think it’s relatively safe to update to trunk. Trunk is probably less broken than 1.0.2 right now. I would perform a test installation to be sure everything still works the way you want, before upgrading a production site.

This site is using trunk, BTW.

If you begin using trunk, please post any problems to trac so they can be addressed. Thanks

[chrishajer]

gerikg, I just committed the patch to fix this. I believe bbpress.org is running trunk and it updates on some sort of schedule/cron, so that fix will be present here tomorrow probably. Could you test again tomorrow?

I don’t know when or how the code gets updated here, but I am seeing my changes here a day or two after committing to trac.

Thanks

I’m working on a little plugin that is a rework of Hidden Forums. It will allow the user to hide topics as well of forums. I will post the code after some testing.

Hi there,

The terms of service plugin is not available anymore when i try to download this.

See: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/terms-of-service/

Does anyone has this plugin and is this compatible with the latest version of BBpress?

[gerikg]

from SAM

“A first attempt at getting WordPress 2.7 and bbPress 1.0 to play nice again is now in trunk [1862].

I’m specifically talking about “deep” integration, i.e. when you include WordPress inside bbPress to gain access to WordPress’ functions.

This will need a lot of testing, so please post any issues you have on the relevant Trac ticket, #972 (which will stay open until some more testing has occurred).

I recommend using the following code at the top of your bbPress bb-config.php file to include WordPress inside bbPress:

if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {

include_once( ‘/Full/Path/To/wp-load.php’ );

}

Note that this includes “wp-load.php” not “wp-config.php” or “wp-blog-header.php”. This avoids running WordPress’ template loader which presumably isn’t needed inside bbPress. Some implementations may want it though, so if you find you need it then give it a go and let us know how that goes.

Also note that all filters and actions set in WordPress whether default or added by plugins or themes are cleared out completely. That means that plugins and themes installed in WordPress cannot add filters or actions to bbPress at all. This may have some implications I’m not aware of yet.

Go nuts! “

[miruru]

After some more testing, i’ve managed to get it working exactly how I wanted. You’ll need to change it in front-page.php.

If you want the code, here it is: http://pastie.org/896738.txt.

Hope it works for anyone who wishes to use it.

edit: i mentioned that you need to replace forum.php with the above code, this was a mistake so you will need to revert the forum.php back to it’s original state and only change the front-page.php.

[gerikg]

http://thekak.com/forums here is the test site. try to add a tag.

[zaerl]

File rss.php at line 182. It seems that bbPress retrieves the last 35 posts if called like /rss

if ( !$posts = bb_get_latest_posts( 35 ) )

die();

you can add a new case on top of that file but I don’t think that it’s a wise choice expecially if you have a huge forum.

Hi Pagal,

I have customized the permalink for bbpress, and it works fine. It’s still on the testing stage, though you can try this. The following is the modifications I have done.

Step 1:

---

Open ‘bb-admin/options-permalinks.php’

You will find a permalink options declaration. Add one more option as shown below, it will add one more option in the permalink options in the backend. You can make the custom option with a text field, in order to customize in your own way (I have done in a predefined format in order to make it simple).

$permalink_options = array(

'mod_rewrite' => array(

'title' => __( 'Permalink type' ),

'type' => 'radio',

'options' => array(

'0' => sprintf( __( '<span>None</span> %s' ), bb_get_uri( 'forum.php', array( 'id' => 1 ), BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) ),

'1' => sprintf( __( '<span>Numeric</span> %s' ), bb_get_uri( 'forum/1', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) ),

'slugs' => sprintf( __( '<span>Name based</span> %s' ), bb_get_uri( '/forum/first-forum', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) ),

'custom' => sprintf( __( '<span>Custom</span> %s' ), bb_get_uri( '/forum/%parent_slug%/%forum_slug%', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ))

)

)

);

Step 2:

---

Now we have to create the custom format of permalinks for forums and topics.

Open ‘bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php’

We have to modify two functions ‘get_forum_link’ and ‘get_topic_link’. See the changes I have done for the custom permalink option.

function get_forum_link( $forum_id = 0, $page = 1, $context = BB_URI_CONTEXT_A_HREF ) {

$forum = bb_get_forum( get_forum_id( $forum_id ) );



if (!$context || !is_integer($context)) {

$context = BB_URI_CONTEXT_A_HREF;

}



$rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' );



if ( $rewrite ) {

$page = (1 < $page) ? '/page/' . $page : '';

if ($rewrite === 'custom') {

if ($forum->forum_parent > 0) {

$parent = bb_get_forum($forum->forum_parent);

$parent_slug = $parent->forum_slug;

$custom_link = $parent_slug . '/' . $forum->forum_slug;

} else {

$custom_link = $forum->forum_slug;

}

$link = bb_get_uri('forum/' . $custom_link . $page, null, $context);

} else {

if ( $rewrite === 'slugs' ) {

$column = 'forum_slug';

} else {

$column = 'forum_id';

}

$link = bb_get_uri('forum/' . $forum->$column . $page, null, $context);

}

} else {

$query = array(

'id' => $forum->forum_id,

'page' => (1 < $page) ? $page : false

);

$link = bb_get_uri('forum.php', $query, $context);

}



return apply_filters( 'get_forum_link', $link, $forum->forum_id, $context );

}



function get_topic_link( $id = 0, $page = 1, $context = BB_URI_CONTEXT_A_HREF ) {

$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $id ) );

if (!$context || !is_integer($context)) {

$context = BB_URI_CONTEXT_A_HREF;

}



$args = array();



$rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' );

if ( $rewrite ) {

$page = (1 < $page) ? '/page/' . $page : '';

if ($rewrite === 'custom') {

$custom_link = '';

if ($topic->forum_id > 0) {

$forum = bb_get_forum($topic->forum_id);

if ($forum->forum_parent > 0) {

$parent = bb_get_forum($forum->forum_parent);

$custom_link = $parent->forum_slug;

}

$custom_link .= '/' . $forum->forum_slug;

}

if (!empty($custom_link)) {

$custom_link .= '/topic/' . $topic->topic_slug;

} else {

$custom_link .= 'topic/' . $topic->topic_slug;

}

$link = bb_get_uri($custom_link . $page, null, $context);

} else {

if ( $rewrite === 'slugs' ) {

$column = 'topic_slug';

} else {

$column = 'topic_id';

}

$link = bb_get_uri('topic/' . $topic->$column . $page, null, $context);

}

} else {

$page = (1 < $page) ? $page : false;

$link = bb_get_uri('topic.php', array('id' => $topic->topic_id, 'page' => $page), $context);

}



return apply_filters( 'get_topic_link', $link, $topic->topic_id, $context );

}

Step 3:

---

Now we have to define the htaccess rules.

Open ‘.htaccess’ file in bbpress root folder, and add following two lines just above the code line – RewriteRule ^topic/?$ /forums/ [R=302,L,QSA].

RewriteRule ^(.+)/topic/(.+) /forums/topic.php?id=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)/(.+) /forums/forum/$2/ [L,QSA]

Here is how my URLs looks after making these modifications:

Forum URL: mysite.com/forums/forum/en/first-forum-in-english

Topic URL: mysite.com/forums/en/first-forum-in-english/topic/the-ipad-developers-challenge

Strong interest in this plugin…will be waiting for details.

I can do basic testing as well – happy to help.

Hi there. I’m writing a small plugin and I need to check if the actual page is the last page of a topic. I’ve seen that this is the standard way:

if(bb_current_user_can('write_posts') && bb_is_topic())

{

global $topic, $page;

$add = topic_pages_add();

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



if($last_page == $page) do whatever you want

}

but I want to use this code during the bb_init callback. It doesn’t work and after some simple tests I’ve seen that $topic isn’t defined (yet). Is there a way to get last page during this callback?

Thanks in advance.

[chrishajer]

I am not sure when the next release will be, and I’m not certain how difficult how hard it would be to get ‘subscribe to topic’ working. You could upgrade to the trunk release to get the functionality, but I don’t think I would recommend that in a production setting. Maybe you can install a test setup and see if everything you need works (especially plugins.)

[kevinjohngallagher]

Did it work when YOU tested it?

[Alex Luft]

Thanks for your reply, Chris.

I haven’t tested it out yet, but it looks like that plugin will hide forums from members. I want regular “members” to be able to see the forum and read and reply to it but not be able to start their own topics.

Does that make sense?

[gbmphillips]

So yesterday everything looked great had Categories and topics under those Categories. Now this morning all I am seeing are the latest discussions and no Categories or topics. Not sure what happened.

I have changed server

ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

problem with

define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘user_bbpress’ ); ?

i have underscore in BBDB_USER and i get this error

ERROR: Could not establish a database connection

my old server is

define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘bbpress’ ); is work!

….

BBpress Latest Discussions (1.7.2) in wordpress could connect this database with Bbpress DB User: user_bbpress

Even though you changed your mind, this question of yours may come in handy to someone else. Thank you for asking.

[chrishajer]

First, you can use the Human Test plugin to prevent or at least minimize spammer logins.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/

Second, not linking to the forum URL is not really hiding it. Spammers know to look for URLs like /forum, /forums, /bbpress, etc. No surprise there.

If the forums are not active, why not just drop all the tables and reinstall?

If they’re not active but have existing data, then you will need some SQL to drop all the users and all their posts and related meta info, if any. Did the spammers post anything, or just register? Or can you drop the tables and reinstall?
