I tested this out and it works great! It seems to work the way you intended for sure! Couple of things:

1) If there are no posts, could there be a message like ” You have seen all posts since your last visit!”

2) Could there be a way to call the link with a function so you could also place it wherever you wanted?

3) Could we get a functionality if the person is a new visiter and hasn’t registered anything in the DB for their last visit time. Maybe show ‘all posts’ or a certain number anyways!

4) Could we borrow the paging functionality and (posts per page) from Ardentfrost’s Memberlist plugin (0.73c) for the views page?

5) How DB intensive is this and the online plugin (for curiousity!)

Look at me! Greedy already! Great plugin Thomas!

Thanks,

Trent

This is just something a lot easyer to do. It requires just a small plugin, I’ll make one for this, ok?

The posts since last visit plugin is getting a bit more complicated then I thought. I’m doing it as plugin for my onlinelist plugin, cause I think doing this database driven is better … so you can view the posts since your last visit anywhere.

If you want to see how it looks like at the moment, go to

http://la-school.com/bbpress/ (Test / test) … not sure if you can really try it

[vaelrith]

edit those pages with what mriannnnn?

By the way, chrishajer, I only did this on the front page by adding an image that they can click on to take them to the latest post, or if they dont want to go to the latest post, click on the topic title. You can see it on my site, it’s the clipboard image that takes to the latest post.

[mriannnnnn]

ok you have to edit these pages:

front-page.php

forum.php

tag-single.php

just three files not much.

[Trent Adams]

So10, is it possible to have an addition (or another plugin) that will mark the private posts (under latest discussion on front page) as such? That way, then people would know to be logged in to view them without getting fired off the error (not logged in page)?

Null, I’m not sure what to say, I haven’t downloaded this, and tested this yet.. (I’m not sure how many others did either lol, because there are no replies in here, but your own.. )

How many downloads have you had for this bbPortal so far? Maybe after some time here (after Holiday deal is over), and people get back into swing of things.. they’d start helping you figure this out..

I could download it, and try it locally once.. but, I myself is just swamped with stuff too.. I’ll see what I can do though.

[spencerp]

UPDATE: I just wanted to fill everyone in on what I have just done..

1) I downloaded and installed the Themed Login and Registration plugin for WordPress.

2) Upload it, then activate it as normal.

OR, If you are running WordPress version 2.1-alpha3.. Before uploading and installing this plugin, open the themed-logreg.php file..

Find this line:

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/registration-functions.php’);

Change it to this:

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/registration.php’);

This is because in the 2.1-apha3 version, they just renamed some of the files in the wp-includes/ directory..

3) I made a page called: Where To

Since I have pretty permalinks on, the page’s location is here for example: domain.net/where-to/

In the Where To page’s Write Window, I added the following text/urls for example:

“If you are seeing this page, you now have the ability to access the following places with your username and password.

The <a href="wiki.yourdomain.net/">Codex</a>.

The <a href="yourdomain.net/forums/">Forums</a>.

The <a href="yourdomain.net/wp-admin/">Site Admin</a>. “

4) Under Plugins => Login Register Options =>

A) Under the: Uninstallation Options => I put check in box for: Toggle Complete Uninstall:

Under the: Redirect After Login: => I changed wp-admin/ to where-to/

If you have the normal setup for the permalinks, (for me on localhost this worked): /?page_id=11

Of course, change the actual number to your own..

C) Under the: Redirect After Logout: => I left this one at: wp-login.php

D) If you are using any other theme, then the “Gathering” theme, you might want to skip this section. And follow the directions for it, according to your theme’s layout!

Unless your sidebar call is like this.. in the index.php file:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

Still in the Login Register Options, I left everything alone from there down TILL the part for the “Template Header Files: section..

D-1) Since I’m using the “Gathering” theme, the call for the sidebar, in the theme files is right after the header call.

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

D-2) In the Template Header Files: window, I made it like this:

header.php

sidebar.php

D-3) In the Template After Header HTML: window, I made it like this:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<div id="maincontent">

D-4) In the Template Before Footer HTML: window, I made it like this:

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<!--index.php end-->

<!--include footer-->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

D-5) In the Template Footer Files: window, I made it like this: footer.php

E) Scroll down to the User Email Template: window. Since he uses variables for his stuff.. here is what I used for mine, and it works because I got the email after doing a test sign up.

Username: ##username##

Password: ##password##

You now have the ability to access any of the following locations with your username and password.

The Site Admin

##siteurl##/wp-admin/

The Forums

##siteurl##/forums/

The Codex

http://yourwiki.yourdomain.net

Please note: Of course… change the The Codex and Forums urls to whatever your’s is.. example: ##siteurl##/my-forums-folder-name/

And for Codex/Wiki: http://yourdomain.net/yourwiki or whatever..

Then I click the Update Options button..

F) In my Theme’s CSS File, I added the following CSS Style references:

#login {margin:0 auto 0 auto;width:250px;}

#login ul {margin:0;padding:0;}

#login ul li {display:inline;margin-left:10px;}

Everything seems to be working just fine! I hope this helps others..

http://spencerp.net/wp-login.php

http://spencerp.net/wp-register.php

After logging in, you should be taken to this page then:

http://spencerp.net/where-to/

Which of course.. can still be seen by everyone, either way. (But it’s not really made public either, because I don’t have the page itself, listed in the header nav bar, and sidebar nav section.)

However.. it’s not going to do much good to them, because if they aren’t registered and stuff.. they can’t access my blog’s wp-admin, forums or codex.. lmao!

Anyway, I just did TWO test signups.. and was able to login to my Codex, Forums, and the Blog’s wp-admin control panel.. whee!!

I haven’t heard back, so why not. I am not saying for sure that everything is going to work on this one. Backup your current my-templates/ folder and then test with this one:

Trent’s bbPress Default Template

[Trent Adams]

I will have a post to devlist, but I am pretty sure that only Micheal changes the core code, but will get around to it after the holidays! I tested them both earlier and they did work for me! It has been 3 weeks since a core change and there is about a dozen or so tickets since then!

[mistainu]

my bbpress is integrated with my wordpress. the 2 required plugins, and adding

<require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');

in my config file so i could use my wordpress theme as my bbpress template. ok, so everything was file. now i tested it’s functions.

i tried to make a test topic as sticky. apparently i can’t use sticky as long as the above code (require once etc) was in the config. i removed it and i could do as normal.

so now i ask: i wnat to keep my wordpress theme as the bbpress template, unless i use that line i can’t… that line is not allowing me to sticky/unsticky. anyway this was the error msg i got.

Warning: main(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gray/domains/unlimitedinfinity.com/public_html/forums/config.php on line 57

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/gray/domains/unlimitedinfinity.com/public_html/forums/config.php on line 57

Edit: another error, seems i can’t access my ./bb-admin/ when the above integration is active.

[chrishajer]

Trent, I am looking into bb-templates/profile.php around line 52. It seems like this test always fails and thus prints ‘No replies.’ Seems like the wrong two values are being compared or something. Also, it seems like strtotime(get_topic_start_time()) returns a really weird date, in the future too, and it’s changing too, every time I run the query. That should not happen for the topic start time (it is what it is, right?) Here are some of the time stamps I’ve received in the past couple minutes.

1169441052 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 22:44:12 -0600

1169441231 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 22:47:11 -0600

1169441457 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 22:50:57 -0600

The topic_start_time from MySQL:

2006-12-07 21:43:24

The topic_time from MySQL:

2006-12-17 15:58:30

The topic_time is accurate in the profile page (1166389110) but it fails because get_topic_start_time() is returning some date in the future…

Weird.

(Also, the date on my server is accurate, and my post freshness is working properly. The only issue I have with time is that the server is GMT -0500 and my customers are GMT -0600, so the post times are off an hour, but no one minds that.)

[Trent Adams]

I am using the latest from TRAC, but if I add a duplicate tag, it just updates the tag with the recent timestamp, but doesn’t give errors. Is this on .73?

Hehe, it was a pice of cake.

http://www.crazy-media.com/bbpress/

AND it is easy to add the extra “step” to ” Website Design > HTML Basics > Whats wrong with my site” to the top-links if you like and it’s easy to group the result on the frontpage if you like.

(“General (forum cat block 1) >

–Latest news (forum under general cat)

–General Discussions (forum under general cat)

–Site Feedback (forum under general cat)”)

Well I think it feels “to much” so I made a new row in the table insted of giving every caregory its own line but its an easy to fix. Well, I didnt found any easy way to add a “middle-forum”, like it is in phpBB. If you clock on a categori you see all avalible forums.

Well, well. My point with this post, if you would like i can post the code and changes. But I warn you, my “hack” isnt realy nice, it demands changes in the db, in the corefiles and ofcause template. And worst of all, it uses crapy if-else and no fancy “all data in the db and one function for each job”-stuff. I’m a newbi so I’m using newbi sollutions.

Signature isn’t working most likely because you have the latest version of Avatar. The change you made in functions.php for signature need to be made in bb-avatar.php instead (in your my-plugins directory). Check out Line 34… that’s where you need to make the adjustement.

No idea what that means…

[spencerp]

Ah, ok.. I’ll have to try/test that then Josh.. thanks for pointing that out..

I made a theme for my forums, and found it rather easy. It was mostly just all css, and a few changes to the front-page.php file.

http://zenhelix.us.to/forums/

I’m using a few plugins also:

• Allow Images
• bb-avatar
• bb-limit-latest-discussion
• bb-memberlist
• bb-postcount
• bb-privatemessage
• bb-signature – this one isn’t working for some reason, but i didn’t really look into it
• display-name
• forum-moderators – don’t know if this one is working either
• notification
• onlinelist

Thanks to all who made those

I’ll make the theme more user-friendly and remove the front-page.php changes so that it is more standard and release it to public whenever I change to a new theme. I don’t want other people to be using my theme at the same time I am

Hmmm… ok going to do a clean install on my test forum, perhaps another plugin is jamming…

Thx

Got it fixed, it was another plugin, fixed the error, thx again

zip is removed

[Null]

Checked it, but that’s not it. Also get this error when login in (same as when posting):

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /xxx/bbpress/my-plugins/bbPortal.php:2) in /xxx/bbpress/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 39

Any other ideas?

Made a zip of the current plugin, just put it into your plugin folder. Now try to post a new post or anything and the error will occur. The new form in adminpage/content/bbportal works great.

NOTE:

This is for testing ONLY. The plugin aint done yet or compleet!!!!

I’ve tried to match it up as close as possible to the main site without looking too “off” and feel that I’ve done a pretty good job.

http://www.nowwerecookin.org/bbpress/

You’ll need a p/w and username: test/test

Plugins used:

• Allow Images 0.7.1
• Avatar .73a
• bbEmoticons version 0.72
• Memberlist .73a
• Google Sitemap Generator .6
• BBPress Private Messaging 0.73

Feedback would be greatly appreciated. I’ve checked on Firefox 2.0 and IE 6.0 but would love to hear from users of other browsers!

Thanks in advance, and a huge thanks to those who’ve posted these plugins, as well as the FAQ and other solutions. Skinning this thing has been a bear, but everything else has been relatively easy as pie.

Hi there…

i nearly completed an italian translation for bbPress (using the last SVN, so it should be the most updated).

I’m keeping it updated and i’m going near completion today or tomorrow.

If you want to have a look at it or use it, feel free to check HERE

This is just a test forum… it’s not yet released to users

Bye!

[spencerp]

YES! Once again gerd damn-its, testing a bunch of crap out the arse.. for Josh there.. it’s FINALLY working both ways now.. whee!!

/It’s fun though.. being the guinea pig .. of a bbpress plugin pimp! lmao

[ardentfrost]

What makes you think I’m a professional programmer? I do this for free, you don’t have to use it. Plus, it’s open source, you’re more than welcome to change the error message.

That message should only be shown if it can’t find memberlist.php in your my-templates directory. Also, if you don’t have pretty permalinks turned on, it is supposed to see that and add the .php to the end of mlist.

Could you tell me your server information? (version of php most notably) Do you have pretty permalinks turned on? If you don’t know your server info, are you on dreamhost or something?

This has been tested on multiple server configurations and works on them, but there’s no way to test on every server config. But I’ll try to make it more compatible if possible.

Hi, don´t take care of much about it. I am testing what this software does.
