Is there a simple way to insert the first post of the topic with an individual command? And then start the loop with the other posts, starting with the second one (as the first post is the question and the following posts are the answers)?

Just to be clear about what I want to achieve. Here is the site I am trying to make work:

http://www.test.rimava.sk/bbpress/topic.php?id=2

I want the first post to have e.g. green background, different question mark icon, while all the other posts remain as they are now.

I think there’s a missing check for the count..? I put a counter in my frontpage.php to limit the number of recent posts which are displayed;

<?php $recent_count = 0; ?>

<?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?>

<h4><?php _e('Recent Posts'); ?></h4>

<table id="latest">

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

<?php if ($recent_count >= 10) { break; } ?>

<?php $recent_count++; ?>

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

<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a><br /><div class="hints"><?php topic_posts(); ?> posts. <?php topic_last_poster(); ?> posted <a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a> ago.</div></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

the $recent_count variable is incremented for each post link, and the loop is jumped out of if it hits 10. No doubt there’s a neater way of doing it, but it works fine. Checking for 1 instead of 10 would do it for you.

Looking for a bbPress expert who could help us tie our blog entries to

appear on the forums via Bbsync and fix a couple of bugs on the

forums.

http://www.feastoffools.net/community

••• Troubleshoot and optimise our forums. Right now Dreamhost is forcing us to upgrade our services because they claim our bbpress forums are taking too much of a server hit. Looking for someone to help us optimize our forums.

••• Upgrade to the latest version of Bbpress. Right now we’re at .9

••• Install BBsync

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/

new blog post, this post will be turned into a new topic in your

forums. Replies can be made to the topic. Comments made through the wp

comments form will also be shown as replies to the corresponding

thread. All comments/replies will show up automagically in wordpress,

too.

••• Code Buttons:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons/

Automatically adds an easy access button toolbar above the post

textarea to allow quick tags in BBcode. This is an enhanced

replacement for the Comment Quicktags plugin. No template editing

required.

Requires the BBcode-Lite plugin (or some other kind of BBcode support).

Some buttons will only appear if the tag is supported (ie. img, center)

••• Upload Image Files / Attachments

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/

This may not work with the version of bbpress and wordpress that are

compatible. Right now I’m waiting for bbpress to get to full 1.0 to

upgrade both to WordPress 2.7 and Bbpress 1.0, which my guess will be

in the next 6-8 months, but hopefully sooner.

••• Post Notification

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/

If you have a topic in your favorites and there will be a new post to

this topic it sends you an email. Simply upload and it does its job.

•••• Bb Socialize

Add social network links to form/user profiles.

Allows you to set and display your social media profiles in your

public forum profile. As administrator, you can select which sites

will be supported using simple management panel.

••• Search problematic

Also users are complaining about the search function not working well,

is there anyway to troubleshoot this or enhance the search inside the

forums?

just testing RC3 and noticed that my hot tags are all set to 8pt. Anyone else having this issue?

[_ck_]

frooyo, the fact you have to ask how indicates you won’t be able to do it

It will take someone with experience quite a bit of work and testing to accomplish.

It’s not a trivial conversion like some other plugins.

Hi all!

I’m upgrading a plugin to use the administration menus, rather than editing within the plugin itself. I have used admin functions before (such as add_action), but for the life of me I can’t figure out why I’m having problems adding it this time around.

Basically, on activation of the following plugin I get a “this plugin has caused a fatal error” (but it is activated), and on deactivation I get “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/britain/public_html/forum/bb-plugins/top-posters-code.php:32) in /home/britain/public_html/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 232”.

Here is the code

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Show Top Posters (backup)

Plugin URI: http://www.gospelrhys.co.uk/bbpress-plugin-show-top-posters

Description:  Readers with the most postes are displayed on your bbpress forum, with their names (linked to their website if they provided one).

add_action('bb_admin-header.php', 'show_top_posters_admin_page_default');

add_action('bb_admin_menu_generator', 'show_top_posters_add_admin_page');



function show_top_posters_add_admin_page() {

bb_admin_add_submenu(__('Show Top Posters'), 'use_keys', 'show_top_posters_admin_page');

}



function show_top_posters_admin_page_default() {

echo "test";

}



function show_top_posters_admin_page() {

echo "test";

}



function show_top_poster_text() {

echo "test";

}



?>

Any suggestions?

[chrishajer]

You have the latest stable bbPress then, 0.9.0.5? When you log in as keymaster, what version is shown at the bottom of the backend admin screens?

What is your database name and what is the table prefix from your bb_config.php?

[iang]

I want to display a list of all the users on my blog (wbs80.com) and their profile information.

I have been looking at the bbpress code and trying several tests…but unfortunately without success.

My approach is to get the list of profile keys, get the list of users and for each user display the username and profile information. The code segment that I have is:

<?php

require_once (‘../../bb-load.php’);

global $bddb;

$profile_keys = get_profile_info_keys();

//print_r($profile_keys);

$userinfo = $bbdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $bbdb->users WHERE user_status = 0 ORDER BY ‘ID'”);

//print_r($userinfo);

foreach ($userinfo as $key) {

$metainfo = $bbdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $bbdb->usermeta WHERE user_id = $key->ID”);

// ???

}

?>

I don’t know how to use the “profile_keys” value(s) to access the “metainfo” data structure and extract the data.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m using “Human Test for bbPress” with RC3 and it’s working perfectly, spam bots has been stopped.

Hi!

I´m having a problem, that i can´t reproduce on this forum for example. If i visit my testforum as unregistered user i´m able to click on the members profiles. That´s okay, but in my sidebar 2 links appear, profile and favorites. Is it right, that the favorites link is displayed to unregistered user so that they can watch every users favorites? I don´t think so. Maybe i done something wrong while creatin my own theme… I don´t know.

Here´s a link to my testforum (it´s not finished yet): http://www.test.be-infected.de/forum/

Hi Sam,

Thanks for that detailed post. I’ve added this post to my favorites so I can come back to it.

However, at this time, I’m not going to upgrade until bbPress reaches official version 1 status.

I’ve temporarily gotten rid of the warning messages by doing the following:

Line 71 of bbPress 1.o alpha 6:

$_cached_ids = join( ',', array_map( 'intval', (array)$cached_ids ) );

Lines 86-89 of bbPress 1.o alpha 6:

if(!empty($cached_ids)) {

foreach ( $cached_ids as $cached_id )

$this->results[] = $trans[$cached_id];

}

Yeah I know it isn’t ideal as I’m probably not using the latest, optimized build of bbPress, but it gets rid of the warning messages.

[Arturo]

i’ve it with latest rc3 and works without problem

What’s the best way to prevent spam user account registration?

I’ve tried the “Human Test for bbPress” plug-in but it seems to stop working with 1.0 RC.

Any other plug-ins out there that are a good way to prevent spam user account registeration?

[Sam Bauers]

@r-a-y

OK then, you really need to upgrade.

Here’s how I would do it…

1. De-integrate cookies, clear out all cookie settings in bbPress/WordPress including hardcoded ones in configs with the exception of you secret keys (BB_AUTH_KEY and friends)
2. Upgrade to the latest Trunk of bbPress
3. Upgrade to the latest release of the bbPress Integration plugin
4. Clear all relevant cookies in your browser
5. Setup integration in WordPress first, go to the admin panel for the plugin – use the settings it gives you to use in your wp-config.php file
6. Setup integration in bbPress second, if the plugin in WordPress tells you to add a special constant to bb-config.php, do that now too. You’ll need to login to bbPress separately at this stage. Only enter settings into the admin, don’t try to add anything back into your bb-config.php except that one line from the WordPress plugin
7. Now you should be good to go again, clear your browser cookies and try various ways to login and logout

After the Update to bbPress Version 1.0-rc-3 my problems are gone. I think everyone should test there used plugins, backup and then test the update. Can’t wait for bbPress 1.

@johnhiller – On the other hand, going gold will mean more people using it and thus more people screaming for help and bitching at bugs Which is stressful, but honestly there’s nothing like a real-world test. (She says, having spend 6 months beta testing new software, had NO bugs in her queue, and then twenty minutes in the wild had a fill ticket queue again You just can’t test everything.)

[leggo-my-eggo]

@Atsutane – I had slightly misunderstood how to use the filters in the Latest Discussion plugin, and I realize I can get closer than I thought with that plugin. However, I don’t think I can get all the way there. The bbld_forum filter seems to be applied to the variables before they have been given values, right? So, you could, as in the example, replace a specific gravatar based on the $user_data variable. But is it possible to get the $forum variable in the same way? What I need is to determine the forum ID within my filter function.

[r-a-y]

@johnhiler, I have two test environments.

One is on my localbox, which doesn’t have WP_CACHE enabled.

The second is my development server, which has WP_CACHE enabled.

I should add that I’m using deep integration between WPMU 2.7.1 and bbPress 1.0 alpha 6.

The problem only occurs on the development server, which leads me to infer that it only happens when WP_CACHE is enabled. However, I’ll turn WP_CACHE off and let you know what happens.

—

@sambauers, BuddyPress + WPMU 2.7.1 + bbPress integration works really well on bbPress 1.0 alpha 6 (cookies and all). I haven’t upgraded because I’m afraid I will break integration somehow.

If I were to upgrade, it will be when bbPress reaches version 1 status and when other BP developers can test out all the kinks involved with integration.

Untested thought: You could edit your theme to limit the data accepted in the textbox.

Sorry. Yes, I was doing some debug testing in functions.bb-core (bb_repermalink), and left it in an abused state. It’s fixed now… with my enhanced 404 error reporting, by the way. Something I also need to post in trac.

[nzdan]

I apologize if this has already been requested but how did/do you add the rss feed button to your forum not the individual topics?

Is there a plugin available to do this?

I am testing bbpress to use as a knowledge centre at our office and need to find a easy way to subscribe to the forums section including all the subtopics or the latest discussions so new posts/replys or when new topics are created I will be notified and have the option to sign up to a rss feed?

As currently I can select a forum and then a topic and add as a favorite which works great, I get emails when this topic changes and I can add as a rss feed to say internet explorer. BUT I have to individually do this to each topic that I am interested in.

When a new topic is created I am not aware that this has happened (I am the key master) unless I find it in the latest dsicussions..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Dan.

[stevebooth]

Yea. It get’s it one step further, but still broken. It’s permalinks and the bb_repermalink routine. On my server it ends up re-linking to the same uri, which causes an infinite loop. I tried _ck_’s old code, but it had zero effect. I also used the same principles (constructing the uri from other SYSTEM variables) directly in bb_repermalink, and that does work — the right uri can be constructed, but I haven’t gotten it to work yet. I need to go through the routine and figure out what it does.

bb_repermalink needs a LOT of work. It is extremely sensitive to $_SERVER variables not being set the way it expects, and it’s tests are not sufficiently detailed. I’m wondering why it would do any kind of redirection on uri’s that are not links to any forum. We’re just trying to browse to the home page, for goodness sake!

[stevebooth]

Well, for the moment, I’ve simply disabled the permalink test in the home page (why would anyone do a permalink test on index.php, anyway? It’s not like anyone is going to link to a forum entry on the home page.

[johnhiler]

Ah I see. That exact error has been reported by someone else using the latest bbPress together with Hidden forums… and they even suggested a patch to functions.bb-forums.php that they claim fixed the issue!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/when-there-is-no-forum-to-display-warning-is-generated

Or if I’m reading this correctly, you could also create a general folder and leave it as public… so that there’s always at least one forum, and it’s never null?
