Looking good Nightgunner5, and great to see you back.

While possibly a little self serving, i’d strongly suggest doing our upmost to make this plugin work for 0.9 for a number of reasons:

1) 0.9 is officially the stable branch and has been for over 9 months now.

2) 1.0.6alpha is nowhere near being the beta.

3) The next alpha is going to break alot of functions and plugins, to the point that _ck_ has already stated she’s not going to fix her plugins from 1.0.7a -> 1RC1 at the earliest. Aiming this code for 1.0.6a, is probably going to give you more work in the long run.

4) I know that Sam has posted on the blog that the proposed function changes might not happen now, but there’s still alot of open tickets out there; and alot of works been done on BBpress since 1.0.6a alpha in January. Add in to that all the work done for “talkpress”, and there’s no way the next version is goin to be near RC1 level.

5) WordPress 2.8 is coming with a new authentication system (yes new to 2.5 and 2.6/2.7’s authentication system), so even if we do get a new release of BBpress at the same time, there’s a whole bunch of coding to be done and tested as an alpha – let alone having the 1.0.beta released at the same time.

Either way, and with the best will in the world, 0.9 is going to be the “stable” release of BBpress for at least the summer. Today’s the 2nd of May, and we’ve not seen an update to 1.0.6a. If 1.0.7 is released on Monday, we’ll have at least 4 weeks of user reports and bug fixes before the next release. If that’s the beta and not not another alpha release, then we’ll have a few weeks of testing/fixing before an RC, and then at least a week before the final release.

Obviously it’s GREAT that you’re building this plugin, and from what i’ve read – it looks ace ( I’m about to install at home in a few minutes), but given the very changeable nature of alpha’s, it’s probably wise to focus more on 0.9 computability; and then making a version1 port when it’s in beta or release candidate. Just my two cents mate.

I’m currently using a modified version of Brandon Aaron’s spell checker on the client side, and have all but disabled it on all of my sites.

1) Some browsers do spell checking as standard, so it was overkill.

2) All browsers which do it as standard do so through an addon (yes, even the Mozilla suite).

3) Different people want the spell checker to work different ways – and it was a nuisance for some, and just plain old slow for others.

4) For subject specific forums, words not in the dictionary started to become a pain. I run my little brothers WoW guild’s website for example, and it annoyed some of them senseless.

5) The client side version isn’t the fastest

6) The server side implementation just adds another step to the posting process.

7) You complicate issues with having an “add to dictionary” or “ignore this word” feature, both of which are kind of standard in spell checkers.

It’s a nice idea, and i liked it once i wrote the plugin… but it just became too much hassle very quickly.

Installed the latest version (0.1-beta1) – the new location is great!!

I’m not seeing the ?view=all appended to deleted/spammed topics in the mod log… but maybe I don’t have the latest version. Will try again later!

[johnhiler]

Just installed the latest development version on 0.9 – it looks like it’s working!!

Two quick questions:

1. Where is the moderation log for moving/deleting topics?

I activated all four parts of the moderation suite and then moved one topic and deleted another. Then I started digging around for a moderation log, to see if they showed up… I found a moderation log here, under the users tab:

/bb-admin/admin-base.php?plugin=bbpress_moderation_suite_modlog

I didn’t see a log of the topic moving or deletion though… are those logged somewhere else? I must be looking in the wrong place.

2. How do users Report another user

I didn’t see a place where users could report another user… is there a tag for that I should stick in the template?

I *really* love the idea of being able to warn and ban users – for now, I’ve been PM’ing users manually which is a real drag! Thanks for porting this to 0.9!!

Ok, I did some tests, it seems to happen when I enable this plugin:

bbPress Attachments

— big bummer.

[cldnails]

I just use CarpRSS to convert RSS to html in my bbPress installation.

Early in the morning on a shared box may mean your provider doesn’t know what they are doing and is not running the daily backup in “nice” mode, therefore overloading the server.

Either that or you might have a misbehaving neighbor.

bbPress doesn’t naturally cause that kind of problem, unless you are running an older alpha which uses more queries – and some of my plugins like hidden forums had a bug in a previous version that caused extra queries – you only used 10 queries so I think you are running 0.9

If you know what you are doing, even on a shared host you can run a simple PHP program with cron checking the load every minute – the moment it starts to spike, say over 3.0, you can have it email you “ps aux” which will show you which neighbor is misbehaving, even on a shared host.

See this:

bb_init = 0.178 <<<

---

bbpress’s core is completely loaded at this point,

plugins, everything the amount of time is okay and acceptable – 50 to 100 files have been loaded

bb_index.php_pre_db = 4.966 <<<—- this is kind of a lie, it’s not pre-db, there have been some queries…

so in 4.5 seconds or so, here’s what’s been done:

$forums = get_forums();

$topics = get_latest_topics();

$super_stickies = get_sticky_topics();

it’s actually loaded all the forums and gotten the latest topics

It’s using about 8-9 queries so 4.5 seconds is absolutely terrible, almost impossible if the server is working correctly.

If your page time is normally under 1 second for that part, here’s what I think is happening.

I think your host is running a backup at that hour OR one of your neighbors on the same box is doing a remote backup to/from the server, including mysql.

That ties up the cpu and ties up mysql because the disk is thrashing and mysql is not caching at all.

To prove my theory, see if it happen every day at the exact hour.

Even more suspect would be if it happens on the hour or half hour.

By the way, why do you assume it’s “your” mysql connections that have been exhausted – it’s actually the entire server’s pool on a shared host. I suspect you have a misbehaving neighbor who is accidentally making you think it’s you that’s the problem.

WooHoo! A plugin accomplishing that has been just released:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-latest-post/ <— in plugin repository

http://www.atsutane.net/2009/04/wordpress-inside-bbpress-part-1.html <— author’s blog with more info on usage

Tested it and it works well on WP 2.7.1 and bbPress 0.9.4

[Ivaylo Draganov]

I’m also looking for that feature. Is there a working plugin?

Or maybe there could be a solution which uses some kind of feed parsing to display latest posts?

That is what I use to display latest discussions from bbPress into WordPress – just use the built-in RSS-parser. Is there something like that in bbPress?

[atkins]

I am not able to post a youtube video with this program and I am the admin.

I have latest stable version of bbpress

thanks

[scottfresener]

I downloaded the latest release of bbPress. I uploaded all the files/folders to my site. I even deleted them and uploaded them again to see if it fixed it. I get to the install screen and when I click “let’s get started” I get the following error about 200 times.

Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /home/content/t/b/i/tbiznet1/html/bbpress/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 113

[Filipe Deschamps]

Admin Can Post Anything, from _CK_ is a great plugin and works perfectly in the latest stable version of bbPress.

Is there anyway to make both Administrator and Moderator able to insert html content?

Best regards,

Filipe Deschamps

[atkins]

It is not integrated and is the latest non alpha version

[tgiokdi]

I’m using a nice hack for wordpress that lets me install wordpress once, and have multiple urls use those files, so when updating day comes, there’s a single update to be done. Is this possible with bbpress? If so, would anyone like to share how to? I’d be willing to test

[adv_user]

Could you provide more details? Excuse me, but the documentation of bbPress is very scarce and this complicates the customization of the forum.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

For a non-shared DB, you just have to define the database instead of $bbdb

[adv_user]

No is possible?

[joemoak]

Matt, I’d like to know, too. It’s been a while but the latest posts on this forum suggest it’s broken with the latest version of WP.

[Ivaylo Draganov]

Hi,

I also was stuck on that for a while. I found it easier to downgrade WP 2.7 cookies with this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-26-and-bbpress-09-integration/

Just make sure you juse just the old SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php and match it to the BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php

Clear your domain cookies after activating the plugin and login again. Test login/out on both installations.

Of course you mast have completed the integration steps described here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

[_ck_]

untested, in theory:

function bb_tweaks_no_profile_edit($retvalue, $capability, $args) {

if ($capability=="edit_user") {return bb_current_user_can( 'administrate');}

return $retvalue;

}

add_filter('bb_current_user_can', 'bb_tweaks_no_profile_edit',10,3);

[_ck_]

Go into your wp-config.php and put the line

@define(COOKIE_DOMAIN,'.diskinserted.com');

then go into your bb-config.php and put the line

$bb->cookiedomain = '.diskinserted.com';

Make you you remove any existing versions of the lines first.

Make sure you clear all cookies for your website.

Then try logging in and testing again.

[bruinfelix]

I use the latest wordpress MU version (trunk), and just the alpha-6 version of bbPress

Ohw, and a recent version (also trunk) from the buddypress website

[adv_user]

“if WP and BBPress are sharing the same database”

And if WordPress is diferent database of the BBPress?

[_ck_]

Mods don’t have the ability to delete users here, only admin.

Sometimes people reply several times if they are getting flagged as spam because they never see their message and don’t know what is going on. They also may be set to bozo mode accidentally and not know it.

Sometimes there is also server lag because of how Automattic does mysql replication. You may post to one server and then the page refresh comes back from another server that has not gotten the posts yet in it’s mysql table.

ashwaag was a strange user indeed, probably a bot in testing, the posts were copies of other people’s posts. One of them was even a post of mine that they just copied. Weird.

[richbrown]

2,71 and the latest stabel version of bbPress.
