Topic: _ck_’s bbPress Showcase
I decided last night after seeing some bug reports from people testing my plugins that I needed a more conventional bbpress install that I could test my plugins as well as other people’s.
So I started this little site:
http://bbpress.nfshost.com/forums/
I purposedly used low end (slow) hosting since my other sites are on high end setups. This way I can get a feel if anything is slowing bbpress down.
On the site you can preview my
bbPress Signatures and bbPress Polls plugins
by making a test account.
I’ve also activated “My Views” (which only works on 0.8.2.x for now)
The goal was to stay as close to bbpress’s default template as possible but after a few hours the bright white was burning my eyes so I had to tone it down. I’ll probably have to revisit that and work on the colours a bit, it’s far too flat right now, sorry.
Since this host has no web compression options, I’ll be releasing another mini plugin today after some more testing: bbpress gzip. It will let you compress bbpress pages via php and save on bandwidth, even if your host doesn’t have mod_gzip or other options available.
Topic: plugin: bb-Polls
I am pleased to announce a new bbPress Polls plugin.
Your members can now add polls to their topics, or optionally you can allow *anyone* to add a poll to *any* topic, within a specified time period (hours) since the topic was started.
bb-Polls allows single answer or multiple answer polls.
No template edits of any kind.
There are no additional db tables added, it uses bbpress topicmeta only. Only one entry is created per poll, regardless of size or options (this allow very easy cleanup if desired for some reason).
This is a *very* early beta, however should be functional except for:
1. missing admin menu (coming soon – edit plugin directly)
2. missing administrative editing of existing polls.
3. missing some visual tweaks (plural case, etc.)
4. missing some more deluxe options (poll ending time, etc.)
5. missing multi-language support (coming soon)
If you can live with these limits and would like to help test and give me some useful, constructive feedback, please download:
http://ckon.wordpress.com/files/2007/08/bb-polls.txt?v010
(rename .txt to .php, install, activate, start a new test topic)
The beta is set so only moderators and above can create/see the polls. This will allow you to test without disturbing visitors.
Please note the visual styles may be WAY off for the default template or your own template. Unfortunately I am using a very customised template. You’ll probably have to edit the built in css which is kept clearly at the top. (the default styles will be fixed soon when I get a chance to do a trunk install this week)
Upcoming features include the ability to display all polls and the ability to display a poll anywhere within bbpress templates.
ps. I need to know if this works as in in the trunk version – I don’t see why it wouldn’t but you never know…

Even better if a user can choose this when seeing the results:
