Here’s a plugin for this.

http://www.network.net.au/bbpress/plugins/post-count-titles/post-count-titles.latest.zip

However, my hosts DNS servers are having some issues so it may timeout on some people. It should be added to the official plugin browser soon.

[igos]

I have 2 bbpress instalation.

First is public and use akismet.

Second is for testing and doesn’t use akismet.

I don’t know if it is a bug, but on public forum every my post treaten like a spam even when i’m logged in.

On second forum, it doesn’t post unless I press “Undelete entire topic”.

What I need:

If someone post topic or reply it automaticaly show to public, and if akismet says it could be a spam it should only warn on special page, not block post.

Hey Guys.

I got the forum installed and all. Added the blurb above the config, added a .htaccess to bbpress/ root, and all the other steps suggested….

But can’t seem to get the links to work on the main page?

Was using firefox, switched to IE and the theme appears to work in IE not firefox…. that was one thing I noticed… not as important…

When I click to start a post, i get the forum, and when i post I get “The page isn’t redirecting properly” in Firefox, and in IE it tries to load forever.

Then wehn I go back to the main forum page…. there the new post is…

When I click on the post title or forum title, it tries to access in firefox, then i get the same error.

Now i’m testing all this on my local pc, using Xampp which is basically Apache as it’s server. I recently created a .htaccess file for my wordpress root, but it’s currently blank, does it need something? I’d like to get pretty permalinks working, but at the moment, that is the least of my worries.

Any assistance for this?

It is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Wow, so much hate… I’m not trying to insult anyone’s sense of intelligence by making this appear easier than it is. It’s just dead simple. I see no great complexity in it. It’s still a “basic MySQL query.”

Why muck around in the usermeta? That’s far too much work if you ask me.

Perhaps I’m wrong.

function get_user_title( $id ) {

global $bbdb;



$pc_query = "SELECT COUNT(post_id)

FROM $bbdb->posts

WHERE poster_id = $id

AND post_status = 0";

$post_count = $bbdb->query( $pc_query );



if( $post_count <= 10 ) {

$title = "Noob";

} elseif( $post_count <= 20 ) {

$title = "Might stick around";

} elseif( $post_count <= 30 ) {

$title = "Title for 30";

} elseif( $post_count <= 40 ) {

$title = "Over the hill";

.

.

.

} elseif( $post_count <= 90 ) {

$title = "Post whore";

} elseif( $post_count > 100 ) {

$title = "Regular";

} else {

$title = "Error";

}



return $title;

}

This way you don’t have to mess around with updating anything… it’s generated on the fly.

Do take note that I haven’t tested the code. I wrote it in about 5 minutes, so I didn’t get around to testing. It’s the concept I’m talking about though.

I am running the latest alpha…it was switched to commas? Can it be switched back? Spaces I think are much more common a tag method than commas (or can it be hacked to acccept both?)

[fel64]

Yes, that’s an interesting oversight; it seems that the tag-adding field when making a new post is comma-delimited in version 1.0-alpha. If of course you’re still running 0.81, I have no idea but it might be worth to test the comma delimiting.

[delete]

I just downloaded this plugin and used with the current version 0.8.1 and it seems to work for me. At first I was marked with 1 but after using this plugin and saving myself as 0 and creating some test accounts no new accounts seem to be marked as “1” anymore. So, It seems to have work for me. Thanks for releasing this.

[fel64]

Anaon, delete the old files from this plugin, download the plugin again and put the files back where they belong. Hopefully that will work. If not, download the latest version of bb and replaces the files on your server with new ones. It’s a strange error which seems to indicate to me that loading bb-load.php did not succeed fully.

If a required file requires another file and that fails, does the original requirement also fail or generate a warning/error?

[klaussterz]

The crazy thing about it is: If i synchronize XAMPP with my Laptop and test bbPress on it with Firefox, it works fine. Back on my PC. I have the same trouble as before.

[Trent Adams]

Nothing off the top of my head. Do you have a URL to test on?

[fel64]

Actually, when I just try to add a new identity for testing, it seems to have automatically been set as a moderator.

That’s a bit worrying! What happens if every user becomes a mod?

Also remember WP is in version 2.1, while bb is still before official release at version 0.8.

[tecfre]

ohhh i really wish i could do that . I am no where close to programming in php . Is it not possible for me to request such kind of plugin as normally if you see its a feature in most of the sites as they show the lastest joined users and also online users with avatars

[citizenkeith]

fel64 – Thanks for the rundown. Unfortunately, I know very little about coding, so I’ll leave it up to somebody else. And that somebody may be dyaddydad!

dyaddydad, I’d love to check out the plugin. Can you send it over to me so I can test it? kamera at gmail dot com. Thanks!

[fel64]

It is possible but I don’t know of any plugins to do it. You can probably do it yourself fairly easily though . You need to make a WordPress plugin that will call the data and display it. You can get the data by using something like

global $wpdb;

$latestusers = $wpdb->get_results("MySQL query");

but the wordpress wpdb reference and plugin writing reference will be of more help.

[tecfre]

Hi .

I am not sure whether any plugin is available for this .

I have integrated wordpress and BBpress and in my wordpress blog i want to have a page which should show the lastest users who have registered in my forum along with their avatar if available. Is it possible .

More or less like we have contact me plugin for wordpress , is there any plugin to display the users ..

Thanks and regards

forum ( under testing) : http://www.tecfre.com/forum

[pensandpencils]

Thanks for the reply.

I’m running the latest stable MySql and PHP on a Mac apache local testing server if this helps at all.

Cheers

Got a problem on my hands. I’m trying to simplify a lot of things by require’ing bb-load.php and then using the bb API. However bbdb loads with a fatal error if I do this when wordpress has fully loaded, but it works perfectly fine if I require bb-load when the plugin is run.

What I mean is require( 'path/to/bb-load.php' ) works fine if placed anywhere inside the main code of the plugin. If I call it using the wp hook init it no longer works, nor does calling it by other hooks (that I’ve tried) or through function calls in templates and the like.

I went through wp-settings.php and require’d bb-load systematically until I found that it only worked once wordpress had loaded general-template.php (line 153). It worked from any point onwards, including after do_action('init'); (which I don’t understand at all). Using the init hook in my plugin to require it does not work.

I suspect this means that the init hook in wordpress maybe does something or other, then loads plugins, then does something else that stops bb being included, then runs any other funtions registered with the init hook – but my wp mojo is not impressive. I tested this with all other plugins deactivated.

The output if bb-load is required too late in the code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_row() on a non-object in xampphtdocsforumsbb-includesfunctions.php on line 1224

That makes me think bbdb is not created, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t be.

Can someone help me with this please? I’d much rather use the API than duplicate functions.

Can you tell me if it’s right?

[Sam Bauers]

Active Directory can be interrogated using the PHP LDAP functions, but it may need to do different things to what this plugin does. I don’t have an AD server to test against, so I won’t be building the functionality into this plugin any time soon. You still need to configure PHP with ldap to bind to active directory.

[Trent Adams]

Tag them all if they are different authors. Same author, I usually do a search and get them anyways. I see that you did Tag it and we stopped another 15 messages of spam past akismet! Thanks

Trent

[fel64]

I did Should every affected topic be tagged modlook or is it better to tag just one?

[Trent Adams]

When you see those, tag it “modlook” so I don’t miss it! Sometimes it happens….

Anyone see the CLI theme for WordPress?

testing here: http://fearandloathingbbs.com/wordpress/

My dream would be a theme like this for bbpress that would turn it into an old school BBS a la WWIV, VBBS or teleguard. I’ve been trying, but I suck.

No really. how cool could that be?

[gtim]

Can anyone explain just how that got past Akismet?
