hi guys, site is http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk

Basically, I’ve got the latest discussions plugin active in the sidebar, but I can’t find the necessary code to edit to customise it. I’ve create a custom DIV class (this managed to change the line-height) but I can’t get rid of the bold properties, I can’t change the font – I’ve looked on the widgets.php page and can’t find it, and editing the plugin itself doesn’t seem to work. Anyone got any ideas? thanks

my site is bdennstudios.com/forum and i used bbpress-0.9.0.3 which i think is the latest version.

In general I try to keep up with WordPress releases as well. The upgrade from 2.5.1 to 2.6 included these bug fixes:

https://trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&milestone=2.6

In 2.5.1 the AUTH keys thing was really sorted out, so they changed that in 2.6 and that’s the main reason 2.6 is not compatible with the 0.9.* branch of bbPress.

If you don’t require integrated logins between the forum and the blog, then you don’t have to upgrade your bbPress to use the latest WordPress. If you do need integrated logins, then you probably need to wait for the 1.0 branch of bbPress to upgrade WordPress to the latest.

Alpha-6 came out a couple days ago, so really no one knows until we all start testing our plugins.

Hello whoever you are…

I already begin playing around with alpha version of bbPress for some time now… and trying to put together some plug-in’s to make it work properly…

There seems to be quit few Plug-in’s working with the Alpha version already… Now: i was looking for a Moderation Plug-in… There is only Quit few available and the one called BB MODERATION HOLD seems to be working fine, excerpt that It doesn’t Display the Post back to User or any other message to confirm the Post has been Taken into account and awaits moderation… So I was trying to append and make it display message on POST and Also, Show the Post BACK to user (and admins / Moderators) in LISTING with others with simple mark of awaits moderation.

There is not a Clear documentation available like wordpress for available Filters and Action…

For now, I want a Filter to Append the Query when it’s Querying For the Topics in Forum, Latest Topics, Sticky Topics and each so I may Append the Where cause to List the Awaiting moderation Post to Owner (User) and Moderators / Admins.

It would be great if anyone may give me a List of WORKING filters available to use i Current TRUNK version (Alpha 6)…

original Plug-in: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-moderation-hold/

Thanks

This will never happen because it’s physically impossible as the code is designed.

Ok then the plugin will have to put wp inside bbpress but I still think that it will be a bbpress plugin.

I even could think in another solution; turning wp comment system into a forum. You only had to allow all members to post in the wp blog, make a custom category for them and a custom template for that category. There would be no front-page though.

BTW, _ck_, could you please tell us how did you add pagination to front-page latest posts in your bbpress showcase?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

That’s what I have too. That’s really wild.

Do you have access to your SQL database? If so, check the bb_topics table in that db and check what it says for the ‘topic_poster_name’ column. The default for that on my table is ‘Anonymous’ so it’s like it’s not writing to that field. Which would mean even if you flipped the bit to the old theme, the database still has it wrong.

So, try making a test post while using the default theme?

[ganzua]

I did a second test using my live installation and it worked. A new user registered through wp and after login he appears as member in the bbpress control panel.

However, since 1.05a all new posts appears as started by “anonymous” user. I do know what to check to correct this behavior.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Just tested. Made an ID on bbpress and it is magically set up as a Subscriber on WP!

Hot digity!

We’re Not Worthy!

[ganzua]

I tested 1.06a integration. I created a new user through wordpress and he can post in bbpress.

Let’s see if anybody can confirm this.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Perhaps the problem is the lack of a codex where you can find out how to add things-> do you want email notification? add this plugin.

You know, that would be nice. If we could all (or maybe some more of us testers) could have codex access. The WP codex actually is editable by anyone. If BB’s was as well, we could all start helping improve documentation.

_ck_ said:

Showing a gravatar for any email address is as simple as:

<img src=”<?php echo “http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=&#8221;.md5($user->user_email); ?>” >

The mysql code for the email of the last poster is going to need a left join of the users table against the post table and more than I am willing to do right now. I suppose I could be lazy and use get_latest_posts(1, 1) to fetch the entire info the last post and grab the email address from there.

does anyone knows?, please.

Very customized theme:

http://vwnettet.dk/ (Danish site for Volkswagen enthusiasts)

I’m not finished yet, using a few own developed plugins to glue it all together and doing the inline pictures… Everything on the site is custom developed plugins, or done in the theme… Nothing changed in the core, which was my main goal… So I am able to keep updating from the development here…

Having changed to bbPress and been live for about 10 days it’s been very good, and after the performance fix for latest topics, it been running very smooth…

[calman]

Hi Guys!

Not having any joy with this either??

Followed the brief instructions, copied the php into plugins and tried my own image test <img src=”bla/bla.gif” />

.. but no joy!

What am i doing wrong?

All the best,

Cal

Hi,

I’ve just tested an upgrade of my bbPress 0.8.2.1 forum. The upgrade goes to bbPress 0.9.0.4, but after the upgrade has finished and the upgrade/installation script has asked, and been given permission, to upgrade the database, it seems like theres some problems with special characters. The forum is in danish, and therefore æ, ø and å is very common, but after the upgrade they just show up as their respective UTF8 codes. I can’t figure out, and but the header and my browser is set to UTF8.

I can tell, that the forum was and still are in UTF8, but the collation on the database tables is latin1_swedish_ci

Anyone with an idea of the problem?

[ganzua]

What function of myviews plugin do you need to put in front-page.php to have a paginated list of the latest topics?

[Sam Bauers]

So, the nightly builds seem to be stuck on an old version!!!

You can get the latest trunk from here (zip link at the bottom):

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk

You will have to manually add BackPress files from here into a directory at bb-includes/backpress (zip link an the bottom):

http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/trunk/includes

I have WP and bbpress (lastest release) When I click on Admin while coming from WP I cannot access. I click on the admin link and it goes nowhere.,. I then log out and then back in and it works (while in bbpress side)

[John James Jacoby]

@the both of yous

Sambauers is the main programmer responsible for updating and maintaining bbPress, the rest of us seem to serve more as bug testers and trac reporters. You’re both correct to assume that the goal is to have it work both ways, with a registration at one platform to assign a role to the other.

@globalkris

You’re lucky, I haven’t been able to get either/or to automatically tell the other what roles to assign, despite my efforts. To be honest, it can’t be happening anywhere on the WordPress side of things, because WordPress has no idea that bbPress exists. It’s just doing what it always did. bbPress needs to look for capabilities, and assign them according to the WordPress role map provided it has been set.

It seems like a good idea to have the role-map setup as part of the installation process, if choosing to integrate that is.

The other side of this, which I’ve said before in different topics, is that automated integration of bbPress is difficult to predict, because there are several configurations that anyone could or would use, and it isn’t just WordPress that bbPress is intended to work with. There’s BuddyPress too, which is a whole other assortment of configurations. You can see how having bbPress automatically assign a role to a user that doesn’t have a role at all can be a strange situation, since there are times where WP users might not have roles either. There are about 250 different types of arrangements that users can have that must be trapped when I think about it, considering registrations on either side, the role map, and what the results of each situation would be.

Maybe when they register through WordPress, I don’t want them automatically given access to the forums, or vice versa. Even though they are integrated, maybe I don’t want them to have a role at all. What if WordPress registrations are closed but bbPress ones are open? I mean when you think of all of the possibilities, it’s a wonder/miracle that it works at all. Ha!

Long story short, Sam is working really hard on getting this integration up and running for us, and I suspect there will be an alpha6 coming shortly.

[hotforwords]

I am running 2.7 and alpha 5 with the same problem and can’t get the roles to work either. I did everything the way it was described to do.. even did a clean install of a website and bbpress to test it out and it didn’t assign roles there either.

I used the bbpress integration plugin as well.

I have 44,000 members, so this is a bit of an issue for me. I had to manually go in and assign roles to about 15,000 members and have to manually assign roles for all new members, which is about 100 a day, and a real pain.

[deadlyhifi]

thanks all. I’ll be doing some tests on it all sometime this week and will report back.

[Sam Bauers]

This poll is intended to gauge usage levels of older versions of PHP, with a view to maybe bumping the lowest supported version in bbPress up to PHP 4.4.9 (from PHP 4.3.0).

The two options below are the latest stable versions of PHP 4 and 5. If you are using another version, please be specific when entering it’s version number.

[polldaddy poll=1247862]

[wordpressfan]

I created a new directory and copied the files from bbpress-latest.zip to it. I was able to install bbpress 1.0-alpha 4.

However, there was no screen about creating a user or your first forum or any integration.

[wordpressfan]

The nightly build/bbpress-latest.zip has the MBCS warning screens after step 1 of the installation.

Do not use the Private Forums plugin, it has not been updated in awhile and has bugs.

Use my Hidden Forums plugin instead. The code above is not sufficient in itself.
