I’m gonna need this one in a hurry so if there’s nothing similar in existance, looks like I have a weekend project.

For now I’m going to keep it simple, add a text link somewhere in the template and that will popup a javascript query for a description why it should be moderated and then an email will be fired off to the admin. What I really want it to do is create a new post in the moderator forum so one of the mods will see it and take action, but that might have to wait until the next version.

Am I the only one (other than the few documented examples) who’s using bbpress for something other than a micro-forum and needs these kinds of tools?

ps. the examples page needs to be updated, over 200,000 registered members now

Hi everybody.

I have updated the plugin to allow the administrator to link to either the profile or to their chosen URL.

Let me know if you spot any bugs!

@louisedade

I’ve made a few additions to the plugin which I think will help with a few of these issues that are coming up. They are:

1. Added an admin page for configuration.

2. Moved the actual plugin files to the root of the plugin.

3. Moved all other files except the readme.txt to an “additional-files” folder.

4. Removed the plugin header from the file “avatar-upload.php”, this can now be kept only in the main plugin file (this was the root cause of the activation error that Trent reported).

5. Updated readme.txt to reflect these changes.

Grab it here and review it, I think it is a good first step to easing installation of the plugin, and making it more compatible with the Plugin Browser.

I’ve updated the plugin to version 0.1.5 which adds support for plugins with sub-directories.

“her” plugin is for admin… yes… and very dangerous to override to allow visitors to have that kind of override…

Do you want me to port “TextControl” to bbpress?

It has markdown among many other options.

Just tested a youtube embed copied right from their site and it works tested in IE and Firefox.

I don’t use the default bbpress template however, I wonder if that is affecting it somehow.

Are you using the updated v0.02 that I posted, not v0.01 ?

If it still doesn’t work, can you view source on the outputed page and copy just the part with that one post with full html here (between code tags obviously) so I can see what it is doing?

[Sam Bauers]

The Support Forum plugin has been updated to allow the assignment of individual forums as support forums, instead of your whole bbPress install.

So if you have a bbPress site with two forums:

1. Jokes

2. Support

Then you can add the Support forum capabilities to just the second forum, or the first one if you like, or both.

Hi all I also get an error on like the one experienced above:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() in phpbb2bbpress.php on line 383

Can anyone tell me how I can resolve this.

I also notice that this converter has not been updated, is it going to be anytime soon?

AND whilst converting WHY does it STATE that all emails are being forwarded to SPAMMERS? (Can’t remember the exact words). Is this meant to be a joke?

Thanks in advance.

[statusquo]

Hi all

I am interested in moving my forum from Punbb to bbpress as my site is powered by WordPress.

The only converter that I could get my hands on is the phpbb converter. However I seem to be encountering errors whilst attempting to import phpbb database.

The converters do not seem to have been updated and are stated to be compatible with the earlier 0.73 release.

Where can I get (download) earlier releases on bbpress especially version 0.73. I intend to update to the current release as soon as I import all of my posts.

Thanks in advance.

[so1o]

I fixed this and have updated the plugin.. thanks for reporting

[roycifer]

try twitterfeed.com. twitter feed auto-posts to twitter when an rss feed gets updated. works with any rss feed!

[wduluoz]

@gspark001 lets say you have a wordpressmu up and you want a place where people can see posts from all of the WP installations. I run a family site. Some prefer to read each Website others prefer to look at the forums for updated info.

I had phpBB connect for the same reason.

@fel64 I keep getting a get_user error when I try to post. It seems to be setup correctly, but when I post it gives:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_user() on a non-object

and references functions.php

I updated to .8.2.1 and this issue isn’t resolved; in fact, it’s worse. I re-hacked the line to read

$words = explode(' ', $tags);

It no longer strips out commas. So a user entering this for tags in a new post:

“one, two, three four five”

returns these tags:

one,

two,

three

four

five

Any ideas how to fix this?

[Ivan]

Hi.

I updated to 8.2.1 and i have problems with the plugin Google Sitemap Generator v.6

My forum:

u2fanlife.com/foro

My sitemap: http://u2fanlife.com/sitemap.bb.xml

I saw in the sitemap these URLs:

<url>

<loc>/?</loc>

<lastmod>2007-04-02</lastmod>

<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>

What happens?

Thanks!

Ok, guys. I got the same problem.

For a new topic to appear in a drop-down list just click on “Forums” link to update current page and drop-down list will be updated. Hope, this issue will be resolved in next release.

[rosebud]

Well, this is what I’ve got…

1. Are the forums in a flat list or a hierarchical structure? Yes, they are. The ones I’ve already dragged to be sub-forums.
2. Already done
3. Already done
4. Already done
5. Go to some other admin page. Yes.
6. Go to Content -> Forums again. The forums still appear in a hierarchy. Everything is fine so far.
7. Go to your site’s front page. Is there hierarchy? Nop. Is the forum you put at the bottom still at the bottom? Yes.

At this point I thought this had something to do with the css because the xhtml structure (front-page.php) was indeed updated. I checked the css and I found I had forgotten to put the #forumlist tr td div.nest . Done that. Checked… but nothing. I refreshed, cleared cache and nothing.

I then deactivated the Forum Restriction plugin and voilá. The forums where nested. In the admin section, in the “Forum Parent” dropdown now everything was fine. All the forums listed. It was strange since I have already deactivated the plugin before without results. In the front end it was explained by the missing css, but in the backend I really don’t know.

Thanks mdawaffe for your time.

ps: I tried activating the plugin again, and now I see the front page list of forums in hierachy. Weird. However, when I acces the parent forum, there is a table at the bottom with the name Subforums, but it is empty. When the plugin is deactivated the list is NOT empty. So it is apparently that plugin.

[M]

Having the same problem here, and it’s not a theme issue. I updated my front-page.php to no avail, and switching back to the kakumei theme has no effect. Have not played with any plugins yet (have Forum Restriction and a few others). Hopefully someone will have an answer before I have time to check this out further.

Hi, bbPress appears to run well on the popular http://sourceforge.net/, with the notable and problematic exception of emailing users passwords, both on registration and for password resets.

A thread from last year posted a workaround for new users, bypass email and show users their generated password in the browser. http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/82?replies=14#post-349

However the patch no longer applies, or at least I couldn’t see how and where to apply it. There seems to have been quite a bit of code change in the last 7 months, and the fellow who posted that patch seems to have chosen a different route as the forums are no longer there on his site.

Even if this patch could be updated to apply to the current bbPress code base however it would not deal (I think) with the also much needed function of resetting passwords.

Sourceforge has posted a workaround for projects who need to use email registration, basically queue the messages up and fire them off in a cron job. http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=4297&group_id=1#email

I personally would be happy to see that implemented in bbPress, as a plugin since it’s SF specific, however I’ve seen a number of other threads which indicate a more generic solution would be useful:

[davidbaldiwn]

AHHH

I’ve copied what you have above, and modified it slightly (to match my site), but I am not getting updated titles on topic pages like:

http://ppacp.org/forums/topic.php?id=1&page&replies=1

I’m assuming this has something to do with the templete files for bbpress, so I looked at the top of the files and it looks like this:

<?php get_header(); ?>



<?php global $forumpage;

$forumpage = TRUE; ?>

I changed all the files that had <?php bb_get_header(); ?> from the “kakumei” folder.

Am I doing something wrong?

“confused”

-Baldwin

[davidbaldiwn]

Anouther stuipd question:

How do I make the title update to the appropriate page?

When in WordPress the title in the browsers “title bar” is updated with the title of the particular post. In bbPress this isn’t happening. I’m assuming this has to do with the header change, but this topic has the correct title in the titlebar, so there must be some way to fix it.

If Google didn’t exist I wouldn’t care…

Hey guys, remember me?

I got slammed last semester with classes, working full time, changing jobs, being newly married (and all the stuff that comes with that… if you’re married, I’m sure you know what I mean)… so I completely had to lay off playing with bbpress (hence, none of my plugins have been updated in a few months).

Well, once the semester was over and things settled down for a week, I decided to revamp my site. My site is a home for 6 blogs, forums, mail, etc… and it is all tied together via the front page. Once I got that looking good, I moved to the forums which I just made live today (which means I’m sure I’ll find more stuff that needs to be adjusted over the next week).

I revamped the whole nav system for the forums. It’s all done through a simple and small menu at the top. Of course, if you login you can see more icons. If you have an unread PM you are notified by the normal icon blinking.

This summer looks to be continually busy, especially at work, but I still hope to update some of my plugins soon. Sorry to those of you who have made requests that have gone unanswered.

[Vili]

Ok, here’s what I have, commented. The comments that start with “VILI” are mine.

Please keep in mind two things:

a) This is strictly speaking a WordPress plugin, not a bbPress one. The functionality is simply extended to also cover an integrated bbPress installation. (And yes, this means that you need to install this in your WordPress, not your bbPress.)

b) I hacked this for my own purposes, so it may not be pretty, and it certainly won’t be ready for use without you reading through the code. If someone is interested in working to make it functional as an “out of the box” solution, then by all means go ahead.

Finally, the original Dan’s Avatar Thingy can be found here.

Ok, I’ve now looked at the code and can see how it can be included without needing to branch the plugin too much (and all the maintenance issues involved with that!).

First of all I removed the identicon functions from the bb-avatar-upload.php file and placed them at the bottom of the identicon.php file, to keep them all together.

Secondly, I moved the if($_POST['identicon']){...} code from the avatar-upload.php file to the bottom of identicon.php and made it a function called by the ‘bb_head’ hook (I might eventually do this for the main upload functions too). Note: Is there a pre-head hook that fires before any headers are sent?

function useidenticon()

{

global $user;

//fel identicon

if( $_POST['identicon'] )

{

felapplyidenticon( $user->ID );

}

}



add_action( 'bb_head', 'useidenticon' );

You then only need to supply and maintain two files for the “branch”.

- my-plugins/identicon.php

- my-templates/avatar.php

The avatar.php template is the least likely file to change (it’s been modified slightly since version 0.1).

I’ve made the modifications and zipped them up for you to examine:

Identar Modified (this is minus my files, except the template file)

You will also need the updated version of Avatar Upload: Avatar Upload (version 0.2)

By keeping the Identicon and Avatar parts of the code separate, it should be easier to use Subversion to merge in – or simply replace – changes I make to the trunk code.

Regarding filename storage in the database – there are two reasons for this. The first is that I prefer to store the image dimensions along with the current avatar. The maximum width and height of the avatar is just that, maximums; the actual dimensions could be any size and any aspect ratio within that limit. I then include the height and width attributes in the <img> tag – it’s good practise because the browser makes space for the image when loading the page, instead of shifting everything after the page has loaded.

The second reason is more exciting – future proofing. A future version of this plugin will allow multiple file uploads, allowing users to upload more than one avatar image and select which one to use.

Since releasing version 0.1 of the plugin, I have reduced the number of DB calls in the profile pages and in the avatar-upload.php file by making use of the $user object and calling $user->avatar_file when I need to access the avatar info.

Although, when adding avatars to a user’s posts you still have to do a DB query. If I used your suggested method, it is still going to involve at least one call to the DB, either to get the user_login from the get_post_author_id() (and then grab the avatar file), or to get the avatar itself from the get_post_author_id().

Ah going to try that tonight. Don’t know why, but I never understood forms :S (perhaps cause there are many different ways to do this…) I am going to print this one and mine and compare them. Thx for the help, learned something today

Quote:

and you have to be a bit more specific about your forms submit name to distinguish it from other plugins

Well that could explain why it updated on its own

Thx
