I had a user write a post with this title:

This creates a post like this:

* http://www.kosmosity.com/forums/topic/?replies=1#post-2

I’m using the “slug” option on this test forum which uses the default theme and bbPress 0.8.2.1. It looks like the is being sanitized to “” (an empty string), which confuses bbPress and leads to that topic resolving to an error page. On the test forum to which I just linked, I have no plugins except WordPress Integration.

Has anybody else run into this bug? Is there an existing workaround? If other people can replicate this bug, I’ll create a ticket in Trac. Also, if there’s no existing workaround, I’ll try to create a plugin workaround.

Thanks,

Bob

Yeah, that’s probably sanitized into nothing.

Add a ticket describing it in Trac.

We’ll need to create a case for “untitled” topics like this.

Or simply don’t let the post be made with titles that get sanitized into nothingness, or better yet, titles that are shorter than X characters – something like:

function title_regulation($text) {

if (strlen(trim($text))<

bb_die(__('Your title is too short, please say something meaningful!'));



if (strlen($text)>80)

bb_die(__('Your title is too long!'));



return $text;

}

add_filter('pre_topic_title', 'title_regulation',100);
