Maybe this will work:

<a href='<?php bb_uri(); ?>/profile/<?php topic_last_poster(); ?>"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></a>

Not 100% sure it would work since <?php topic_last_poster(); ?> grabs the display name, not the user name I think. Well there’s a start.

[Gautam]

I think, for the front page, where all topics are shown, you should put this:

<?php

$limit = bb_get_option('page_topics');

$offset = ($page-1)*$limit;

$all_topics = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->topics WHERE topic_status = 0 AND topic_sticky = 0 ORDER BY topic_id DESC LIMIT $limit OFFSET $offset");

$all_topic_posts = get_thread( $topic->topic_id);

$topics = $all_topics;

?>

Haven’t tested it, but should work.

crackpixels,

In bbPress Comments are generally called Posts.

I think the Posts column is set up by default.

In the Latest Discussions table, look for this cell: <th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>, which is the title of the column, and this:<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>, which is the content of the comuns, displaying the number of Posts (Comments).

[Jason Giedymin]

On both Chrome and Safari (latest stable on both, and up-to trunk on Chrome) these do not work for me:

– Adding/Removing from favorites ajax script within a viewed topic: Clicking on the span wrapped anchor shows animation but state unchanged.

– keymaster removal of posts: input box and animation plays, upon refreshing page (Manual F5) posts re-appear.

These situations do not occur with FireFox or I.E.

I’ve also replaced jQuery 1.2.6 with jQuery 1.3.2 (without errors, and requires a few php changes to the script loader) but this does not work. I had thought maybe there were fixes to 1.3.2 ajax code.

Still not discounting my own server config, and I haven’t fully debugged the javascript yet. I have jQuery debug up and running, just going to be a while.

Stack is: WPMU 2.8.1 >> BBPress 1.0.1

Anyone have similar issues?

[bb-gian]

Cool, Gautam! Thank you.

I can’t go and test it right now, as I am too busy on a development, but will definitely install it tonight and let you know.

Thanks!

[deadlyhifi]

I do this on one of my forums (a classified forum that I didn’t want users ‘bumping’ on constantly.) Just add

<?php

if ($forum_id == 3) {

$limit = bb_get_option('page_topics');

$offset = ($page-1)*$limit;

$forum_one_topics = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->topics WHERE forum_id = $forum_id AND topic_status = 0 AND topic_sticky = 0 ORDER BY topic_id DESC LIMIT $limit OFFSET $offset");

$forum_one_topic_posts = get_thread( $topic->topic_id);

$topics = $forum_one_topics;

}

?>

to the top of the forum.php file in your template. Take out the if ($forum_id == 3) { and trailing } if you want to apply it to all your forums.

To show topic creation date instead of freshness replace topic_time(); with get_topic_start_time(); in the forum.php, and front-page.php template files – though I haven’t tested that bit.

This plugin seems to have some compatibility issues, but might be worth checking out:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/live-comment-preview/

As an fyi, plugins are generally made by users and aren’t necessarily supposed to work with version 1.0.1; they work with whatever version each developer has tested the plugin on. In most cases, that’s version 0.9.

Right now, very few plugins are officially compatible (i.e. tested) with version 1.0 and 1.0.1. But a number of them are unofficially compatible – they worked on 0.9 and still work (inadvertently) on 1.0.

Good luck!

[blah]

After posting a reply. I know it’s normal for the topic to be bumped to the top along w/ the “Freshness” but I would like the Freshness to be replaced by the exact date when topic was created and for it not to bump to the top when someone replies.

I’m using the latest 1.0.1.

[grassrootspa]

Hey fellow bbPress enthusiasts,

I have just spent forever playing with PHP trying to get the name generated by “Last Poster” in Latest Discussions on Forum or Front-Page to link to THAT user’s bbPress profile.

My apologies if I am missing an easy “<a href=” command to surround the php in:

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

Nothing seems to work.

Many thanks as my brain has been fried working on this.

My Swedish language files doesn’t seem to translate any time -related stuff like weeks, months, days, seconds etc. When i check the .po-file for it there doesn’t seem to be any problem at all with the language file. The file is taken from the latest trunk of language files.

Does anyone have any idea why it doesn’t work as it should and is there any language file for Swedish that does?

[still giving]

Hi

I have language problems with with v.1.0.1.

bbpress is installed and working in English.

installed directory my-languages

installed ja.mo and ja.po

But when I write ‘define(‘BBLANG’, ‘ja’);’

I get an error …

Fatal error: Call to undefined function __() in /usr/home/vegan/public_html/chat/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 26

I have spent hours on this now, download a few different MO and PO files. Tried user language switcher plug in etc … I am getting nowhere.

Anyone had any luck or is it a bug in the latest release?

Thanks.

I think that this problem occurs in forums w/o posts, when the various numbers are divided by the number of posts, which is zero. But it is a bug, the code must test for zero as denominator…

Akismet looks at a number of factors – ranging from email addresses to IPs and the texts of posts.

_ck_ also suggested not trying to test Akismet with spammy comments:

I don’t recommend trying to purposely cause spam to test it because akismet might flag you globally as a spammer and you’ll end up being bozo’ed across multiple forums/blogs.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/what-do-your-posters-see-when-their-posts-as-flagged-by-akismet#post-31467

I’ve marked a few posts as spam on my forum, and noticed that every subsequent comment by that user got flagged by Akismet. Your mileage may vary… but you’re welcome to take your chances.

hi

i have installed latest version of bb press. but my dashboard is incomplete.

If you’re not getting spam, then you don’t have to worry too much if it’s working or not!

What I usually do on a new install is set it up with Akismet and then wait a week or so… for it to catch its first piece of spam!

Definitely do not try and “test” Akismet, as you don’t want to get blacklisted from all sites that use Akismet!

[chawarong]

Actually, I am not sure if it doesn’t work and come to this forum to confirm. What I did though, I have a spam post sample that Akismet can catch with Simplemachine forum. So, I post the exact same post on bbpress to test.

[johnhiler]

It’s not a good idea to try and test Akismet by posting fake spam… if Akismet decides you’re a spammer, then you could have all of your future valid comments blocked too!

How do you know your Akismet isn’t working?

[chawarong]

Hi,

I install bbpress Version 1.0.1 that comes with Akismet. I saw most people got Akismet working automatically, but for me it’s never working and I would appreciate if someone can tell where to look such as a log or some clue why it’s not working. I test it with akismet-test-123 and viagra-test-123, but still I can post the topics. Please someone kindly give me a hint where to start.

Thanks,

Chawarong

I currently use 09.5 but would like to upgrade this weekend. I do need to clarify a couple of things first.

To begin with I set up a temp/test forum and tested the plugins I currently use. All seemed to work just fine.

OK, not to the trickier part.

Originally I installed BBPress through SimpleScripts, which my host makes available on dashboards.

Then, changing my plans I moved the forum to a subfolder of a WordPress instillation.

I will ask my host, but I don’t think there is a way to change the SimpleScripts info, which thinks the forum is located at the original location.

Does anybody know if SimpleScripts adds anything that could complicate a normal upgrade? I am a very cautious upgrader and will of course back up the data base. But I want to go into this knowing about any potential problems.

[bigspottcom]

hi

i have installed latest version of bb press in my subdomain http://fanclub.bigspott.com

but my dashboard is incomplete i can’t see anything except theme changing option

anyone can help?

[katastrov]

Hi all,

I’ve just installed BBpress and it seems that everthing works “ok”. I’m still surprised that I have to download a plugin for so many basic things… There are minimum things that could come along with the forum such as “smileys, avatars etc”… these are standards in all forums.

Anyway, I’m asking for help because I have tried to register a test account and it seems that no mail is being sent eventhough I get the “congragulation page” saying i will receive one within minutes. I’m having my forum hosted by Yahoo web host.

Does anyone have a clue where to start troubleshooting?

Thanks a lot for your help

If you are using bbPress 1.0, you can use a display name instead of your user login name, and the display name can be anything in the UTF8 character set.

There is also a workaround for bbPress 0.9 that might also work on 1.0 that removes all restrictions for the user login. It’s not been well tested to my knowledge but apparently works. I’ll try to find it for you.

Here it is, try this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/accents-in-username#post-19037

[anti-sec]

Hi bbpress staff and coders ,

I want to ask u the bbpress 0.9.x latest pack ( 0.9.5 ) . Currently I need to study the code of this previous version for security pourpose , and I would be very glad to u if can provide my request .

Sorry for nuisance .

Regards.

[dz7]

Still trying to figure this out–I think I just need to find the place where bbPress finds out the ID of the current user, and insert my own function.

I looked in class.wp-auth.php as well as pluggable.php. As a test, I tried changing the validate_auth_cookie and get_current_user functions to “return XXXXX” in order to login user XXXXX automatically, but it didn’t work. I’m not sure if I’m changing the right functions, or if I’m returning the wrong information.

Is the ID number enough information to log a user in?

Where does it need to be provided?

There are a number of old threads with similar questions, but it seems like nobody has found an answer…

Thanks again!
