I’d do this but I simply haven’t got the time. It’d be easy enough to store meta data if you added an action hook for ‘bb-post.php’ that got all the event-related form data from the post form and WP’s database handling makes storing it a breeze, so that wouldn’t be too hard. Throw in a ‘bb_head’ action hook to pull up data for a given topic (do a is_topic() check and check the forum ID, that’s floating around in a global variable iirc, probably $forum), load it into global variables and then let those be added in by the template. Main issue for me would be the testing and actually having to support something after I write it for once

I’m trying to show the last ten posts in my sidebar, but I am not entirely succeeding, what am I doing wrong? I thought I’d just need to adjust the code from latest discussion a bit. Obviously it doesn’t work like that.

<table class="recent_posts" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

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

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

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>

<td><small><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></small></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>

</table>

So how can I call the latest ten posts in the sidebar?

[johnhiler]

We’re all a bit worried… hopefully Sam is doing ok!

[QuickD]

but it doesn’t work with the latest version of bbpress and where do we find a animated gif

[QuickD]

Maybe but the hot-topic plugin doesn’t have a bursting flame of fire animated gif and doesn’t work with the latest version of bbpress

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

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

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

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a><?php topic_page_links(); ?> <a href="<?php post_link($topic->topic_last_post_id); ?>">Latest</a></td>

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

<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->

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

<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>

Just change the word Latest to whatever you like

[DKB]

It works but i get it on the wrong row.

Here is the code:

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

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

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a><?php topic_page_links(); ?></td>

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

<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->

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

<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>

how can i get it after the topic pages and can i add i image instead of latest?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Slightly lighter version <a href="<?php post_link($topic->topic_last_post_id); ?>">Latest</a>

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

<?php $last_post = bb_get_last_post(); ?><a href="<?php echo get_post_link($last_post->post_id); ?>">Latest post</a><?php unset($last_post); ?>

Put that in your front-page.php in the parts you want the latest post link to appear. Try after <?php topic_page_links(); ?>

[DKB]

Hi, is there a way to make a link for the latest post on the forum homepage, so a vistor can go directly to that instead of navigation through the pages.

I am using bbPress 1.0.2

Thanks in advance.

[Arturo]

i use human test for bbpress and no 1 spam user on my 2 forums.

[deadlyhifi]

not a complaint, just an observation, but

This is coming out tomorrow, with or without feedback. POSTED 3 WEEKS AGO #

[Olaf Lederer]

Of course it’s possible but around half the plugins will stop working.

depends on which plugins you’re using

I’m using all the plugins I have used before

[Fantastic Leman]

I don’t know if anyone else experienced a similar problem already. I searched the forum, but nobody seems to have encountered this problem.

On my bbPress forum (http://hostpress.org/), if I go to page 2 under “Latest Discussions” section, afterwards I cannot go back to page 1. The http link on page 1 itself is showing page 2…

Any solution? Help is much appreciated.

P.S.

By the way, was bbPress forums down for some 24 hours? I could not access it although I could access bbPress website itself. Maybe only me?

[blakes77]

I have a WordPress blog I am trying to put a bbpress forum into. The install instructions are opaque to say the least, it may be simple, fast and elegant but I am very confused as where to put the files when working with WordPress. I had a forums page set up as a WordPress page, if I put bbpress into that directory all I get is a list of files and not my WordPress page. When I get to the installer it then does not recognise the Database Name, User and Password. The instructions are written with prior knowledge but not tested on the range of possible users. Any help would be great. Thanks.

[annejan]

I installed bbPress in the root of my website and WordPress is installed in the directory “/w”. Because I use WordPress functions in my bbPress theme I call the wp-blog-header.php in the bb-config.php with the following code:

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);

include_once( '/home/forum/test/html/w/wp-blog-header.php' );

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

header("Status: 200 All rosy"); }

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

[kirpiit]

So, I’m installing and testing my new forum, these days.

I have 3 users registered for now: 1 is me as Key Master, the other 2 are me again with fake identities just for testing purposes.

Anonymous posting is (or should, how to check?) be forbitten, for obvious reasons.

Now, if I go to this thread http://www.kirpi.it/r/topic/scatola I see that an anonymous unregistered poster seems to have contributed to the forum.

How it such a behaviour explained and how it is avoided, please?

Note: the post was actually made by me. I personally posted the image and the IP address is definitely the one from which I was working. But I did I manage to post anonymously?

[Olaf Lederer]

I stepped over directly from 0.9 to 1.02 no problems

[guyom]

I think so

I read something on the forum

Is it possible that I have to upgrade to 0.9 to 1.0 and after that upgrade to 1 to 1.0.2 ?

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Ah the white page of death… check the permissions on your files are set correctly?

[guyom]

Thx johnhiler

That’s what I try to do but it doesn’t work, I have a white page and no access to the admin page after the upgrade

I try to upgrade carefully twice and the result is the same

you can see that here : http://www.basketsession.com/forum/bb-admin/

[johnhiler]

Sure you can upgrade – just follow the instructions here:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/upgrading/

However, definitely back up your files first… as you can’t reverse the upgrade other than restoring an old backup.

Also – do you use any plugins? Many plugins don’t use in bbPress 1.0… so make sure your plugins are available in 1.0 (or that you can live without that plugin) before upgrading.

Good luck!

[guyom]

Hi

I have the old legacy branch of BBpress on my website and I want to move to the The latest stable version 1.0.2

I try to find some informations about that on the forum but nothing

I need to keep my users and topics data

I just want to know if it is possible and what is the process

thanks

[Mark]

It’s actually a pretty simple hack, though I caution you that I worked it out in the last five minutes.

First, modify the following three lines of your bbpress .htaccess;

RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /bbpress/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/?$ /bbpress/forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/?$ /bbpress/ [R=302,L,QSA]

change ^forum/ to whatever you want the permalink to be, such as ^sub/ or ^purplepolkadots/, whatever works for you. Then open functions.bb-template.php and go to line 711 inside function get_forum_link() (line numbers may vary). It should look something like:

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

…and change ‘forum/’ to whatever you put in your .htaccess – this seemed to work for me immediately, however as I mentioned, I haven’t done any thorough testing of it.
