Replace the similar part with it in front-page.php (Kakumei):

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

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

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a>

<?php

// from wp_trim_excerpt() in WordPress 2.3.1 formatting.php, just removed few lines

function make_excerpt($text) { // Fakes an excerpt if needed

$text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);

$text = strip_tags($text);

$excerpt_length = 55;

$words = explode(' ', $text, $excerpt_length + 1);

if (count($words) > $excerpt_length) {

array_pop($words);

array_push($words, '[...]');

$text = implode(' ', $words);

}

return $text;

}



echo make_excerpt( get_post_text( $topic->topic_last_post_id ) );

?>

</td>

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

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

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

</tr>

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

It generates an excerpt of latest reply of topic.

You may want to think quite carefully about doing this, as it’s not the simplest of tasks. The key issue is that bbpress does not have the data you want at the time you want it.

Basically bb only looks into the bb_topics table to see what the latest topics are. That tells it what the last post id was, what the last poster’s name was and all that, but it doesn’t tell it what the content of the last post was. To do that, you need to grab the ids of every last post being displayed, then write a database query to get the data from bb_posts. That can (*can*) be done in a single query though I think, much as bb grabs all the topics at once, so it’s not too bad. Then you have the data and can play with it however you want.

So it takes some neat hooking and querying.

I don’t think so as the plugin adds them direct to the database (you can quickly test that). Without register.php there are no registrations going to happen for sure!

hello (again)

I have noticed the same ‘problem’ with wp: whenever you create a user for testing purposes (his user ID is suppose X) and delete him you obiviously notice by creating another one (again) his NEW user ID is X+1 and so on. I don’t know if I made myself clear BUT how can you fix this issue? Even if there is no automatic solution what do I have to modify in the database by using phpmyadmin so only ACTUAL users have user IDs.

thanks

[Sam Bauers]

This is addressed in the latest revisions and should be part of the next release.

[refueled]

I have just released my latest bbPress theme: Misty Morning.

I also have a matching WordPress theme:

Let me know what you think!

[ruilouis]

Hello all,

I tried to realize a plugin that would allow me to replace some words by others in the post. I created the DB contained the words to replace and the word to put instead, i created the function and all is working fine, BUT, I don’t find how to use it on BBPRESS.

My function is something like

echo replace_words($TextToBeTransform,$WordToReplace)

, and the function use the DB to see what is be put instead of the $WordToReplace. As I can see, the post are printed out from the post.php of the template we do use.

I got this:

<?php

$tset="A trial phrase.";

$WordToBeReplaced="trial";

?>

<div class="threadpost">

<div class="post">

<?php echo replace_words( $test,$WordToBeReplaced); post_text()?></div>

<div class="poststuff">

<?php printf( __('Posted %s ago'), bb_get_post_time() ); ?>

">#

<?php post_ip_link(); ?> <?php post_edit_link(); ?>

<?php post_delete_link(); ?></div>

</div>

It print me exactly as I want the “A trial phrase” replace trial by “new” (from the DB).

The problem is that when I want to apply this to the text of the post, post_text(), it won’t work at all. I see that this post_text() is actually applying filters and others to the text, which my cause my function to fail (no error, it just don’t replace the words).

Could someone tell me where should I apply my own filter replace_words() for it to be taken into account?

Thank you very much.

[bedbugger]

Okay, upon further testing, it does seem to be working with older posts–in certain circumstances.

Let me explain

If you simply type (or in the past typed) in a URL, this plugin adds “nofollow.” But if you write a sentence and add a link to the text, it doesn’t. You can see this in effect here:

http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/test-5?replies=3#post-14812

Compare the two tests of a link to google. The first, where the URL is typed in, adds nofollow, the second, where the HTML is used to link out to google, doesn’t.

Please help me fix this? Thanks again, this is a huge help!

[bedbugger]

livibetter,

Thanks so much! It works beautifully.

I know it works on new posts, on URLs in the post.

Does it also work on URLS in old posts, when they’re viewed? I am not able to test that.

Also, it obviously doesn’t work on author’s website links (the ones saves in their user profile, I mean). How do we make those nofollow if we want to?

Many, many thanks. I am learning, but slowly.

[Sam Bauers]

The quickest (and dirtiest) solution might be to change line 91 in bb-settings.php to:

require( BBPATH . BBINC . 'db.php');

.

I haven’t tested this, but it should work.

It will force bbPress to use the MySQL PHP extension instead of MySQLi

Hi All,

I have BBpress integrated with WordPress. We just launched the forums yesterday and noticed that users were registering, but not posting. After some testing it looks like the password emails are being sent, but they can take up to five minutes. Users seem to be getting impatient and leaving. We are on a hosted service and the email service works just fine so it’s not the server. Any ideas what is happening?

[chrishajer]

It certainly LOOKS like a rewrite problem. When you click a link that looks like http://pakten.se/forum/forum/testa-loss/page/2, you are redirected to http://pakten.se/forum/forum/testa-loss. That to me says it’s a rewrite problem, maybe only when the url contains “page” or something.

You can try it with mod_rewrite set to false and see if it works properly. If it does, then it’s an issue with the rewrite rules. You could also check the apache logs (if you have access to them) to see how the rewriting is happening and why it’s doing this. It doesn’t result in a 404, it just redirects someplace that’s incorrect. I think that’s because of the rewrite rules. I would try it with mod_rewrite to false and see what happens.

Good luck.

[c00l2sv]

Glad we could help somehow…

Good luck!

[madcap]

Well, that was definitely the problem.

I have the bbpress directory in the wordpress directory, and had the language parameter set in both. I read your post above, set the lang in bbpress to ”, and viola! It worked immediately.

It took me forever to find this post, but I’m glad it was posted. I would have died of old age before I figured that out on my own.

[Thord D. Hedengren]

I managed to duplicate the problem on my own project. Take a look, Next link (Nästa in Swedish, way down) doesn’t work.

http://pakten.se/forum/

and

http://pakten.se/forum/forum/testa-loss

The forum is installed in /forum. There’s a WordPress MU installation in the root directory, with working permalinks.

[chrishajer]

There’s nothing special to bbPress to get this working.

What browser are you trying with? And is this always the admin user or have you created another user and tested with that?

[pwdrskier4]

Okay now the latest discussions do not show up on frontpage because I have attempted to completely reinstall bbpress but it still gets the same error.

[pwdrskier4]

I am getting a new error: Cannot select DB.

My forums were set up and working at http://www.snownation.com/forums/

All of the sudden, now I am getting this error. I have checked the DB settings like 10 times. You will notice on my frontpage at snownation.com the latest discussions pluggin is still pulling info and it has the same login info as does my wordpress setup.

Any ideas???

[livibetter]

I tested on my test forum (no plugins activated), that didn’t happen. The subforums of deleted forum were promoted one level.

[alexhertz]

Captcha won’t help. All spam software is trained for captchas. If all bbpress forum would use the same captcha, spammers will quickly adapt. Email verification is also useless: every decent spam package allows for confirmation of mail links.

Try more of Turing test. One option is a two-level confirmation: a mail link AND after it is clicked – a captcha. Something new that spam software doesn’t expect.

Or send an email with password and OPT-OUT (rather than confirmation) link. Automated software will click the link, and opt out of the forum.

Or send email verification with text to be typed into url window rather than a link.

Or, send confirmation email which must be confirmed by reply-to rather then clicking a link. Still better, reply-to and type something in the subject line.

[chrishajer]

AndrewMac, did you try the test in this post:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registration-email-not-being-sent-new-issue?replies=15#post-6931

That will confirm if you can send mail from your server. It’s odd that WordPress works but bbPress does not. Is it possible the $bb->admin_email needs to be a real email address for the mails to be sent by your host? Is that a real email account?

Also, are there any mail logs or error logs? Maybe that would provide a clue.

[livibetter]

You need to format the return array of bb_top_topics() on your own.

<?php

/*

Page Name: Highest rated

2007-11-29 14:47:26

*/

$sidebar_area = "forum";

// $sidebar_ibox = "topic";

require_once('./bb-load.php');

bb_get_header();

?>

<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

<h2>Most highly rated topics</h2>

<table id="latest">

<tr>

<th><?php _e('Topic'); ?> — <?php new_topic(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Last Poster'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Freshness'); ?></th>

</tr>

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

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

<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>

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

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

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

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

</table>

</div>

<?php

bb_get_footer();

?>

@ chrishajer

thanks for the reply.

My site url is : http://aavaas.com

My forum url is : http://aavaas.com/forums

I have created a test user : bbpresstest

Password is : test

Currently there is only 1 post in my forum – “Your first topic”

When I am logged in the url for the same is : http://aavaas.com/forums/topic/1?replies=1

When I am logged out the url is : http://aavaas.com/forums/topic/1

I believe the later is a pretty permalink whereas the first is not.

Help here is appreciated. My .htaccess is located in the root folder with the following lines:

[vafaaaan]

it was a test plugin .. i tried to understand the db relationships, and i did .. now i know now how to update a post tag .. so there is nothing usable? ok

[vafaaaan]

that was just a test if i understand the relationships between the tables. I can probably write a own plugin that updataes the tags bb_tags etc. but thats not a good solution
