i found how to make the 32 latest topics in the forum! just link to rss.php!

[flaerpen]

Hello, is there any way to subscribe to an rss feed for the top 50 latest topics?

I don’t find any plugin and I’m not that good in php to create one by myself. Maybe I/we could change a existing plugin to fit our purpose?

[Atsutane]

Correct me if i wrong .. by default when a user is regis. WP will set the “display name” equal to “username”. I try the code already and i dont get a blank name Anyway maybe i will change the code to do a double check.

Does any one has a template test page already up? or is there a plugin, so you choose a template from a ddlb and the page shows the forum in the chosen template…

[Staffan]

Great. Thank you! There’s only one little problem: if the user haven’t entered a nickname no name at all is shown. I guess it should be written so that if the user has a nick name – show nick name; if the user dosen’t – show username.

[Atsutane]

I update the plugin already .. Now it gonna show “display name” instead of “username” like before. Tell me how it going

[Null]

Any other ideas?

[Staffan]

Does anybody know how to combine this great little plugin with the Use display name plugin? I want the it to show my nickname instead of my username.

[Staffan]

I updated to 0.75 and that made it work! I thought I had the latest version, but, you know… I didn’t.

Thank you!

[skrimpy]

great plugin, it cleaned up my front page quite a lot. Thanks

[Staffan]

I have encountered exactly the same problem!

I have the latest version of bbPress (downloaded only a few hours ago), php version 4.4.4 and apache server.

Oh nice!! Thanks for the link Michael! I just manually adjusted the “latest” svn files lastnight, for .80 alpha, which is currently running on my forums now.. I manually implemented the [Resolved] codes back into the files, now I won’t have too!

Thanks again!

Hahahaha.. I know.. tell me about it lmao..

I told this one guy on GoogleTalk before, I wish someone from Firefox corp, could sneak in as employment for a job in the Microshit Corp building, and some how replace/code in, for the Microshit IE6 upgrade tool.. and have it automatically upgrade them to a latest FF browser(s).. hahaha

hey. I’ve integrated the login/registration no problem, but now I’m trying to do something about people having two separate profiles.

IMO the profile in bbpress is alot better than in WP (if only because it’s naturally not in the dashboard) so I’m wondering if just adding the users bbpress profile link in WP would be the way to go?

I was able to get the profile link to show up in WP, though I suspect that because it wasn’t in the loop (whatever the heck that is) it showed the link to admin on my test subscriber account.

Is there a way around this, or perhaps a better way to go?

Thank you chrishajer & madawaffe,

I am on BBpress 0.74, and I checked my server settings which are…

“

Support for PHP 5

With PHP 5 support, you can program using the latest version of this server-side scripting language and take advantage of existing applications and add ons written in PHP 5. You can also run both PHP 4 and PHP 5 simultaneously on the same site.

“

I also tried uploading an .htaccess file to my forum root with the first line stating:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

And I still received the same error. After that I moved the file to my template directory, and then to my site directory, and I still had the same problem. I thought this was strange because I am receiving the same results as those mentioned in the post chrishajer linked.

I then called up my hosting service, Diablo Valley Hosting, which is a reseller of Godaddy, so it was Godaddy support. They then told me that in order to assure php5 I would have to change all of my extensions to “.php5.”

I asked and .htaccess, and was told that there was a solution, but they couldn’t offer support on it.

Thank you so much for the help thus far. I am not sure if there is a problem with my .htaccess file or something else, for I entered the line “AddType x-mapp-php5 .php” into the first line of the file. Anyhow, any suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Orion

Nevermind, much props goes to boyevul on GoogleTalk! The login codes were placed in the theme’s header2.php file, directly after an “onclick” action, which was the culprit.

So this:

<div id=”header” onclick=”location.href='<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>’;” style=”cursor: pointer;”>

<h1><a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a></h1>

<?php login_form(); ?>

<div id=”memlist”><a href="<?php bb_memberlist_link(); ?>">Member List</a></div>

</div>

Was changed to this:

<div id=”header”>

<h1><a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a></h1>

<?php login_form(); ?>

<div id=”memlist”><a href="<?php bb_memberlist_link(); ?>">Member List</a></div>

</div>

And all was peachy! I didn’t however upload the latest files of bbPress to the online copy, and I didn’t upload the new changes I just made here either.. I will then ..

Either way, problem is solved!

larmir, do you have an example URL where we can register and test this out? Also, does Dreamhost have a phpinfo() where we could see about magic_quotes_gpc and magic_quotes_runtime? If they do not have that file, can you create a file on your server called info.php or phpinfo.php (name does not matter so long as you know it) and then, in that file, put this:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

That will give all sorts of useful information, including your magic_quotes settings.

Thanks.

ok..

try this plugin

<?php

function your_function_name($where) {

global $topic;

if ($topic)

return $where . ' AND topic_id = ' . $topic->topic_id;

else

return $where;

}

function get_first_post_of_current_topic() {

global $bb_post;

add_filter('get_latest_posts_where','your_function_name');

$bb_post = get_latest_posts(1);

if(count($bb_post) == 1 ) {

$bb_post = $bb_post[0];

post_text();

}

}

?>

where you want call get_first_post_of_current_topic();

[so1o]

try this..

create a plugin with this code..

function your_function_name($where) {

global $topic;

return $where . ' AND topic_id = ' . $topic->topic_id;

}

function get_first_post_of_current_topic() {

add_filter('get_latest_posts_where','your_function_name');

get_latest_posts(1);

}

call get_first_post_of_current_topic in the loop where you show tipc name.

let me know if works.. this is just a hunch

cheers

Alright, I uploaded a copy of my actual Localhost now, to my domain name: http://localhost.spencerp.net/forum/

You can see what I’m talking about there, well hopefully lol! Also, please keep in mind, things might be broke, still screwy.. just register if you can, only for testing purposes..

Also, this isn’t even near done yet lmao. I got a lot of nice things in mind for this baby.. LoL!

I don’t know the ‘official’ answer, but I have had several users register a new name with an old email address (their username was spelled wrong or something) and they got their email and it works fine.

To test, I just re-registered myself with a new name and an old email address, and it was received. I am on a gmail account. I do know that MSN, AOL and Yahoo tend to be aggressive with their anti-spam, and there are a lot of false positives (I know this from other business mail I send.) user_email is not a UNIQUE field in the database either. (I am integrated with WP – not sure if it matters.)

I suspect it’s spam filtering catching the emails.

[jonnydf]

Ok first post and I’m going to start by saying having only been using bbpress for 2 days I think its great, and just what I was looking for in appearance for a forum ie clutterfree and simple.

I am no expert on this but I’ll try and explain a problem I am having with registration emails. It may not be anything to do with bbpress but I’m hoping someone here may have the experience to help.

PROBLEM: User register seems to be fine and the mysql database is filled with their details. They get the email. All ok. However, if I try to create a different user with the same email (I’m doing this for testing) I never seem to get a registration email. Does bbpress do a check to see if a email address is already being used? I don’t seem to get this problem if a create users with an email address at the domain the forum is hosted. Also if I have an account and use the forgotten password recovery I find I get the email to generate a new password but don’t see the email with the new password.

On top of this yahoo seems to be picking up the registration email as spam, I don’t know if this is normal.

I hope this isn’t too long winded. If anyone has any thoughts I’d love to hear them. I know people are registering with my forum and using it so it does work! But they all have individual passwords. Thanks!

get_top_tags($recent, $limit) will return an array of tag objects… each object contains the tag ID, tag (tag all lower case), raw tag (tag how it was typed), and tag count (how many times the tag is used). To get the link to a specific tag, you use get_tag_link(). You’d want to use the get_top_tags function like this: get_top_tags(false, X) where X is the number of tags you want displayed.

You can also pull the tags straight from the database. Here’s the code used in functions.php:

$tags = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->tags ORDER BY tag_count DESC LIMIT $limit")

I’d take out the limit part if you want all the tags. Then, if you want a drop down menu, you can just do this (this is from my head and untested, so it might not work if copy and pasted):

if(!empty($tags) ) :

echo '<select name="userid" id="userid">';

foreach( $tags as $tag) :

echo "<option value='$tag->raw_tag'>$tag->tag</option>";

endforeach;

echo '</select>';

else:

echo "No tags exist";

endif;

Then you just gotta figure out how to either redirect to the desired page using POST data or something like that. Not exactly sure how I’d go about it.

Alrighty, just to be a dumbarse, I’d love to use this plugin but I’ve NO idea how to do the “Upgrade the installation of bbPress to the latest version from the code repository” bit.

I’ve recently migrated from phpBB over to BBpress, with all my posts and topics thankfully intact… but I’ve some forums I need to hide.

Is there no way to hide forums based on the user level at all?

[thomasklaiber]

Thanks for this super great feedback Trent!

1) This is something my plugin can’t do. You have to change the views-template, because this message is also missing in any other view without contents. Maybe something for a trac-ticket?

Just add

<?php else: ?>

<p>Sorry, no matching posts found!</p>

in front of the last <?php endif; ?> in the views template.

2) I’ll implement a function for this

3) Maybe like the latest discussions on the front-page? … Yeah, it’s a good idea instead of leaving it blank!

4) Donno exactly. When I look at the views-code there seems to be paging functionality already?!

5) I thought of this issue, too. It adds a few queries on every page refresh, but I have no idea how to optimize this.

Thanks again man!
