I haven’t found such topic, and I think it might be useful (if no, please throw me into oblivion heh). Do you need some additional functionality but you can’t find a plugin and you can’t code? Post ideas here, maybe someone will “code your idea”.

Syntax highlighter. There’s Geshi and Google plugins available for WordPress.

_ck_ told me how to port them over but I’ve been too busy to do so yet (and it’s not a pressing issue atm. But it will be in the future…)

[Olaf Lederer]

A syntax highlighter in wordpress/bbpress is always a hard to do.

Geshi and tinyMCE = forget it

I have finally a parser in WP but need to work in code view only.

[vadi]

finalwebs: _ck_ dismissed geshi too… let me know when you get yours going.

[Olaf Lederer]

I’m sorry Vadi,

I thought a long time about what the best solution for posting code tutorials.

Actually it’s better to use drupal for this kind of content

[_ck_]

WP-Syntax should take all of 10 minutes to port to bbPress:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/syntax-highlighter-plugin

I have a “Syntax-Lite” plugin in development that is less than 1k and uses PHP’s built-in (high speed) highlighter but only works with PHP code of course. It also won’t be available for quite awhile as I don’t have time for bbPress projects these days.

[thion]

Been there, tried that – it’s definitely more than 10 minutes

I would like to code a plugin to prevent double posting in a certain period of time. For example, i’m adding this reply to this topic, and in 5 minutes i could add another. This plugin would take the second reply and append it to the first one, instead of making a new post (if no one else replied in those 5 minutes).

It should be straightforward to do, but i don’t have the time :'(

[Sam Bauers]

@Detective

Why not just edit the previous post? 5 minutes is within the default editing time limit.

[Detective]

@sam:

That’s what i say to my users, but some of them just don’t get it … for them it’s much easier to just add text into the Reply form than click “edit”.

Another plugin i need (probably will implement this in two or three weeks) is “Private Discussions”, a plugin to replace Private Messaging. Instead of private messages, two users can have a private discussion. Hopefully, the plugin will need only a few template tweaks and no additional files in the bbPress root folder.

It should work in a similar way to Vanilla’s Whispers, but without whispers in a public discussion.

I worked on the wp-syntax plugin but it doesn’t parse the code

do you have an idea what’s missing?

echo "n".'<link rel="stylesheet" href="' . $css_url . '" type="text/css" media="screen" />'."n";

}

{

// special ltrim b/c leading whitespace matters on 1st line of content

// several formatting filters run at or around 6.

add_filter('post_text', 'wp_syntax_before_filter', 0);



// We want to run after other filters; hence, a priority of 99.

add_filter('post_text', 'wp_syntax_after_filter', 99);

[Olaf Lederer]

the problem are the priorities, if I use this filter:

add_filter(‘post_text’, ‘wp_syntax_before_filter’, 0);

there is no geshi parsing.

I get the best result without the priorities, but than I have problems with chars like <> and not allowed tags etc.

[Olaf Lederer]

I get it working!

I added those two replace function before the geshi object is created:

$code = str_replace("& lt;", "<", $code);



$code = str_replace("& gt;", ">", $code);

and I use the default priority for the filters. Are the replacements a problem?

[chandersbs]

auto link keywords to their perspective pages.

with a backend where u can decide which keywords will link to which page. and if someone mentions those words in a post, it will be linked to those pages. like wikipedia a bit.

[Olaf Lederer]

@chandersbs, this topic is about geshi syntax highlighting

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

@Olaf: It’s about plugin suggestions, check the title. It’s just gotten off-topic.

[chandersbs]

@kawauso That’s what I thought

[Olaf Lederer]

lol I guess I read the opening post only 11 month ago

edit: btw I will publish the geshi plugin later on my website

[chandersbs]

I would like to code a plugin to prevent double posting in a certain period of time. For example, i’m adding this reply to this topic, and in 5 minutes i could add another. This plugin would take the second reply and append it to the first one, instead of making a new post (if no one else replied in those 5 minutes).

I’d love this plugin very much as well, I’ve seen this in action in vBulletin. It also prevents users for “artificially” increasing their post count.

[QuickD]

How about an updated smilies that works in the new bbpress, maybe incorporate the barfing icon that you can have in skype

[Olaf Lederer]

I’m using the smiley plugin from here in my current install 1.02
