What role *exactly* do you want to give to multiple people?

In the Admin section > Users, there is a drop down on each user’s “profile> edit” page where you can select the role for them. My installation shows:

• Keymaster
• Administrator
• Moderator
• Member
• Inactive
• Blocked

There was also a plugin for forum-specific moderation and I’m not sure if it works with the latest release.

It’s definitely not ready for production use but the 1.0 alpha in the trunk is looking really good. Sam (and MDA) have been hard at work.

Looks a great deal like WordPress behind the scenes – I mean the new 2.5-2.6 look with rounded everything – but in our familiar and sharp looking green.

BackPress is now powering it which should unify us with WordPress more than ever before and accelerate feature development.

Hey it’s got a dashboard like WordPress now!

I also see they added Display Names to bbPress.

This actually is to my dismay but I guess other people may like them. (Personally for me it will be the first thing I disable – nothing but trouble with pesky childish users).

It also has categories built in: [screenshot]

If you are a power user and know what you are doing, give it a try in a test environment – do NOT overwrite an existing install, it’s not stable yet. Sam says they could use some testing bug reports on TRAC for it.

ps. even more good news is that many of my plugins seem to work hassle-free on it…

I have now added the ability to do inline image viewing starting with version 0.1.5

It’s not completely finished but I know that ability was in demand so I’m making it available for testing right away.

Right under the place roles are changed is the text:

Inactive users can login and look around but not do anything. Blocked users just see a simple error message when they visit the site.

However, when I made a test account and marked it as blocked, I could still log in with the account and there was no error message.

Why is this a problem and how can I fix this?

P.S. I tried this on a test install of trunk and a test install of 0.9.0.2, both gave the same result.

Edit: I just found out that blocking breaks passwords reversably, and only gives an error message if the user is already logged in.

[chrishajer]

I uploaded that code to a test installation I have and it appears to work fine. Check it out:

I gave up on GamerZ’s plugin and wrote my own (User Track) which is more efficient (faster) and does a few more tricks. Unfortunately it may not be available for a couple months as I need to do some more testing and write some geoip importing features.

[jasonistaken]

It’s true! Trunk does

“would you be able to go into a category and see posts from all the sub-forums like a latest discussions list but limited to those few forums?”

Yes, as well as a listing of forums in that category.

[_ck_]

I didn’t even know the trunk had categories.

In theory you could make a forum the category and just put other forums below it. Then use my Read Only Forums plugin to make the category forums impossible to post to.

I am not sure how categories work – would you be able to go into a category and see posts from all the sub-forums like a latest discussions list but limited to those few forums?

[_ck_]

I just put the code on a test site and it works for me.

Sub forums show, but not sub sub forums.

You used http://pastebin.com/m3cef6607 ???

The sub sub forums you are seeing are indented?

Make sure you uploaded and are using the correct file.

Sure, Chris – and thanks. The forum link is: https://ashb.proofreadercentral.com/bbpress/

I’ve got it password protected at the moment, before it goes “public”.

User: tester

Password: testing123

The main site I want to link to the home page of from the forum is password protected with the same user name and password, and the link is:

http://www.ashb.proofreadercentral.com/

Appreciate your help!

Cheers

Until now, I never had problems with Flickr rss (I mean these cool latest 75×75 images) because I was using WordPress plugins. But now, I have no idea how to put latest images from Flickr group in my bbPress. I was reading API docs for two days now, and I don’t understand it completely .

Can anybody help? Or more, anyone have proper plugin? .

[_ck_]

Here you go:

http://pastebin.com/m6e93abf8

(you can copy the plain text from the lower part)

The lines added are 49, 51 and 57.

It’s untested but in theory should work.

Let me know what happens.

[_ck_]

The way I hide sub-forums on the front-page is to wrap the code that lists the forums in this simple code:

<?php if (!$forum->forum_parent) { ?> <– this

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

blah blah

</tr>

<?php } ?> <– and this

It essentially just checks if the forum has a parent and doesn’t show it. Now on the forum page that’s a problem because any forum listed would have a parent. Gotta think about that one for a minute…

Oh wait, I know what to do, we just have to check if the forum_parent is equal to the current forum id. This is untested but in theory should work:

<?php $forum_parent=$forum_id; ?>

<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>

<?php if ($GLOBALS['forum']->forum_parent==$forum_parent) { ?>

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

<td><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><small><?php forum_description(); ?></small><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>

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

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

</tr>

<?php } ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

Note that bbPress is not a finished final product. It’s pre-release and therefore in a state of flux. bbPress has always been a bit behind WordPress changes. If you are using bbPress, you are considered an “early adopter” and therefore you have to accept that things aren’t going to be perfect.

No one but maybe Sam or MDA can say when bbPress will have a release that’s 2.6 compatible. There is code in the trunk that supposedly will work but I wouldn’t recommend using the trunk. It has to be ported to the 0.9 branch and then tested. I suspect they may even wait for the 1.0 beta release and I don’t know if that’s two weeks away or two months away.

Again, there is nothing special about the WP 2.6 release – it only has a handful of extra features and no security bug fixes over 2.5.1 – in fact people are having a bunch of little problem with 2.6 still so why rush to upgrade? I was able to easily downgrade back to 2.5.1 with no problems.

I have done it look :-

Ok guys, im loving this bbPress more and more. I hacked the bbPress_Latest_Discussion plugin to get them showing up WITH THE GRAVATARS on my wordpress frontpage.

If anyone needs this email me, ill tell you how i did it, its a bit too long to post it here.

[falcon1986]

Use the bbPress Latest Discussions plugin for WordPress. It may not have been updated in a while, but it still works with WordPress 2.6 and bbPress 0.9.0.2.

BTW, WordPress 2.6 breaks login integration with bbPress 0.9.0.2. Look out for a bbPress update soon.

[724719]

ok i found out how to put bbPress in WP . all i did was put this in wp-config.php:-

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');

require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');

require_once('path/to/bbpress/config.php');

?>

…..But how do I show a list of the latest 5 topics ?

[724719]

I know this is on the forum but for the life of me i just cannot find it. But I need to show the latest threads on my wordpress site.

I remember there was something like adding one line to the wp config file or something like that. does anyone know how to go about doing this and show the latest threads?

thanks

Of course you can do it, bbPress can do almost anything – as long as you code it

Showing the gravatar is the easy part, the code to fetch the latest poster and their email address is the tricky part. How’s your mysql?

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

<img src="<?php echo "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".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.

[_ck_]

Right now I have it simply by number of posts which of course is not an indication of quality by any real means but easiest way for me to track.

There’s also the top 1000 list where I try to track everyone.

It’s not a contest, no-one wins anything, and it’s completely unofficial, so don’t worry about it

[chrishajer]

I would say yes it’s possible. If you have the id of the latest poster, you should be able to get their gravatar. Same with the original poster. I have no idea how to do it, but it sounds possible.

[_ck_]

Sure, if that really bothers you, with bbPress you can do almost anything if you get clever.

Edit the login-form.php template and wrap the entire <form></form> in something like this (untested)

<?php if (bb_get_location()!="register-page") { ?>

<form blah blah blah

...

</form>

<?php } ?>

[724719]

Hello,

does anyone know how to show the gravatars of the Latest and Original poster on the front page, if so what/where would be the parameters for there dimensions of the image.

I just need to show a 50×50 gravatar of the latest poster on the front page next to the username of the latest poster in the “Latest Poster” column of each topic.

AND

A 50×50 gravatar of the original poster and the username of the original poster right next to the link of the topic, on each row.

Note: http://emptees.com/talk – has a similar thing to what i need, they have the author post avatar on there front page.

Thanks for any help

[parthatel]

ok, so I added require_once('path/to/bbpress/bb-config.php'); to my wp-config.php file. I then added the bbpress discussions code:

<table id="latest">

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘Movie’); ?> — <?php new_topic(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Last Poster’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Freshness’); ?></th>

</tr>

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

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

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <big>“><?php topic_title(); ?></big></td>

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

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

<td class=”num”>“><?php topic_time(); ?></td>

</tr>

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

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

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

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> “><?php topic_title(); ?></td>

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

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

<td class=”num”>“><?php topic_time(); ?></td>

</tr>

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

</table>

I added that code to my index.php file in my wordpress theme and this is what I get as the output in the browser:

<table id="latest">

<tr>

<th>Movie — Add New »

</th>

<th>Posts</th>

<th>Last Poster</th>

<th>Freshness</th>

</tr>

</table>

Obviously, there is something wrong. Does anyone know what?

[737705]

Well the plot thickens…..

I had a look at your suggestions and there doesn’t appear to be anything inputted wrong.

So as an experiment I did a clean install of bbpress on my server with no mention of a WP integration and a clean database and exactly the same thing happens…..

Any ideas what I can try to stop this? This is pretty weird….

Is it possible to download older versions of Bbpress to test those….?
