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

Hi there,

If you are looking for a BBpress and WordPress developer, than i’m your man!

I’m studying WP for about 4 years and BBpress for about 1 year now.

I make high premium WP sites with fully BBpress integrated.

See my latest project: http://www.jahw.nl / forum: http://www.jahw.nl/forums

I have an updated list with the best plugins and latest hacks for both WP and BBPress.

If you are looking for help, don’t hesitate to contact me via my contact page on my website: http://www.jahw.nl/contact

[zaerl]

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

[Kevin Ryman]

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?

[chrisbrocklesby]

Hi,

This would be my third post I made on this now (Sorry) (I seemed to have been bozo’ed on my other posts as my posts aint showing on my other computer which I think is off MOD’s – why would you do this ?) but really think this is a serious issue for the bbPress community.

I like many others have the bb_rel_nofollow filter in place to help against the fight against spam. It some what works but… if I put rel=”follow” in the html markup in a post I can over ride the nofollow filters.

A example can be seen on post 82/83 of my beta forum: http://www.diyextra.com/forum/topic/this-is-a-test-of-the-lenght-of-the-forum-title-test-123-and-again?replies=19#post-82

Does anyone know of this problem and does anyone have a patch to this.

Many Thanks in Advance.

Chris

Just over the past two days I’ve been noticing some strange issues on my site with post times. Several of the latest threads have shown as being posted “-1 years ago”. Sometimes, inexplicably, when refreshing the page it will change to show the correct time and sometimes it will revert back. I’m at a loss to explain why this is occurring.

I also just now noticed a thread that showed as being posted “5 hours ago” with a reply that was posted “6 hours ago”. With my theme this really causes an issue because I have the “first” post in a thread styled differently.

Anyone else having issues like these?

That ‘subscribe to topic’ functionality is included in the latest trunk version and will be in the next release. It’s active here now.

[cloner]

John,

It’s rather an odd situation, as I just took over administration of this board, so I’m not really familiar with the interactions of bbPress and WordPress. The WordPress installation had only one user (the original admin), and as part of the transition we intended to upgrade both utilities to their latest, greatest versions to leave me with a “clean slate” to work from. Our intended first step was to upgrade WordPress, which the original admin hadn’t updated in some time. I had, and still have, no credentials in WordPress.

Our intent was to simply delete the original install of WordPress and install the latest version. I took care of the file end, but upon install the program told me that there was already an installation in place that had to be deleted first. The previous admin then wiped the WP database. I believe this began our problem. Upon installing the latest verison of bbP, I discovered that bbP stores it’s user info in the WP database, so I think that killed us. I think that if the orignial admin restores that db we should be able to salvage our installs.

I don’t know the release of the original WP install, but if you’ll tell me where to look I have a local backup of the original site on my harddrive. Ditto bbP, though I think it was 0.8.3.

Yes, http://www.mh900e.org

The discussion forums (the only really relevant part of the site, to my way of thinking) is at http://www.mh900e.org/parlare. I’ve installed 1.1.11 at the root (I was thinking about removing WP, anyway) and put up a single message telling users that we’re working on resolving other issues.

[chrishajer]

It should be updated. I would do it myself if I ever got around to testing integration and found out which procedure worked best.

How to embed video using bbcode ? What syntax?

[chrisbrocklesby]

Hi all,

I am in the process of developing a new site (which is currently in beta and not meant for the public yet…) but I have a few concerns…

Website: http://www.diyextra.com

1) Have I chosen the right forum for the project, I keep hearing bbpress is dead or it will not be developed as much when/if it becomes a plugin… Should I be using a larger scale forum package like vbulletin or phpbb ? … My thoughts on the subject originally was to go bbpress as it may tie in well with the CMS side of the site which is controlled by wordpress, I did look in to buddypress but the whole group forum thing is off putting and the fact it is not SEO friendly and the slugs (urls) are way to long… Anyone have any comments or thoughts on this would be great….

2) Plugins – Ok so I understand the forum is very basic in its core state and you add plugins to achieve options you require, but quite a number of plugins I have tried to use seem not to work, Also I have a concern that there will be a limited number of plugins developed for bbpress when/if it becomes a plugin.

3) Here is a bug I have found – maybe its just on my forum… The freshness (time/date) is incorrect a lot of the test posts I have posted on the forum are from weeks and months ago, but yet they are show up as 3 weeks… yes I have heavily modified the templet files but only the html and header/footer locations… any ideas ?

4) RSS – Also I am getting RSS error – “This page contains the following errors: error on line 10 at column 33: Entity ‘raquo’ not defined

Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.” Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions…

Many Thanks Guys,

Chris

I an new in bbpress, traying to help my greater daughter to install a forum, and we found the peacemaker bbpress theme, a very interesting 3 columns theme, just we was looking for. But it has not complete the templates files, (register.php and register-sucess.php do not exist) so is not posible a register for the users, and works like a demo site as it just says.

I found an one year old topic about in this forum, but I am not clear if it is the same problem.

thank you chrishajer. it works!

What it is necessary to make, that this function operated on each page of a forum?

[checkfront]

Hello,

Just wondering what the status is on 1.1. Is there a beta available to test?

We really need people to be able to post without creating a account. Also email notifications are pretty essential.

We are tried some of the existing plugins, but they don’t seem to cut it.

[leander8728]

On the latest post’s section, they must seen as every other post. So that the sticky’s aren’t more important then the freshness of every post.

Example:

I made a normal post on 16 march 12:11

I have made a sticky post: 16 march 12:12

Now is the sticky post the newest post in the latest post section. That is good, but when i made another topic / reaction at 16 march 12:40.

The sticky topic stay’s above the newest post. I want that the sticky topic at that moment comes under that other post (16 march 12:40). Because that post is newer then the sticky.

I hope you understand me.
