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.

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.

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

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.

[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

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

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?

[fel64]

Okay, I promise in future I’ll be all mature and responsible and test these things first. Sorry for the inconvenience. This works on my forum now; just copy and paste this into a new plugin file. Then put <?php aposttime(); ?> for default time output, or <?php aposttime( 'DATE FORMAT' ); ?> for your own time formatting.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Accurate Post Time

function aposttime ( $dtformat = "jS F 'y" ) {

global $bb_post;

$aposttime = date( $dtformat, strtotime( $bb_post->post_time ) );

echo $aposttime;

}

?>

I really do This Patrick Ehrlund? He’s great – even if he does have a flash website

I’d argue that the coolness of appearance is worth it, since the login form’s not exactly rocket science. I think it’s still pretty distinguishable anyway. Mockups:

Test account to see the problem with the HTML, didn’t realise Chris had already fixed it. My bad.

[csl749]

Aha – thanks very much chrishajer! I’ve just noticed that there’s a surplus /div in footer.php. I’ve removed it and all is now well, as far as I can tell. Though it’s strange how it only affected that one page (?!). Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks fel64 – glad you like the design of the site! The header pic was designed by a friend of mine, Patrick Ehrlund. I’m torn about the login background – it does look much better without the white background, but also more difficult to read. I might play with some font colours to get something that displays nicely over the header pic colours.

A test account? What do you mean? I’ll help if I can.

[fel64]

It’s a really nice site and I love the header. The login form would fit in more if you remove the background: #FFFFFF property in the CSS.

Could you make a test account please, so we can see the HTML?

[csl749]

Hi folks,

Here’s my forum at the moment after some theme-tweakery to make it fit the general theme of my wordpress site. Everything’s more or less fine, but there’s just on little section that I can’t seem to solve – when using the ‘- ADD NEW’ topic link on the latest discussions section on the front page I get a gap between the footer and the new post div, yet this gap is nowhere to be found on any other of the pages. Looks a bit incongruous.

Here’s a pic of how the problem looks: http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/7683/bbpresspw3.jpg

Any help on how to solve this little problem would be great – thanks!

[collegematesca]

I did add the avatar upload plugin to the post.php page, and add a few line breaks br / but thats about it?

[Trent Adams]

I can’t get it to work with safari or firefox either on your site. Have you changed any of the files in your template that deal with the feed?

Trent

[Trent Adams]

I used phpbb for about 4 years and once I created a test site of bbPress, I converted over all my forums to bbPress and continue to help support a great product. As far as I can tell, almost all the ‘bloated’ features of phpBB that people love have now become plugins for bbPress, so if you like all or most of those features, you will love bbPress.
