I have developed an ajaxed chat plugin, which uses phpfreechat.net script. That script has multiple themes, multiple languages, and multiple features.
There is also a settings page in which you can save various parameters/config for the script.
There can be 2 types of storages – mysql & file, default is mysql, it automatically uses the bbPress db you are using and makes tableprefixajaxed_chat table.
You can see the various commands that can be used in chat, and the FAQ at phpfreechat.net
There are 2 ways you can call the chat:
http://yoursite.com/?chat
or by placing this code anywhere in your template:
<?php if (function_exists('ajaxed_chat_load')) ajaxed_chat_load(); ?>
Live Demo (At my test forums): http://forum.gaut.am/ (inside template) or http://forum.gaut.am/?chat (full screen)
Download Link – http://gaut.am/uploads/ajaxed-chat-1.0-beta.zip
Note – It is beta version, not a release (for now)
I still need to work on the admin settings page, but still its not too bad for now.
Comments, feedback & suggestions are welcomed!
By default the text in the text box when you are writing a message is the Courier New. How can I change it?
I developed a tiny plugin to remove the meta generator tag : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/bbpress-plugin-remove-meta-generator-tag/
P.S. – I will add it to the Extends section when I will learn to use it properly.
So I ran through the install, I thought I did everything right, but then at the end it said:
Your installation completed with some minor errors. See the error log below for more specific information.
Forum could not be created!
(and in the error log)
>>> Forum could not be created!
No new BBpress stuff shows up in the admin side, and if I go to the address where the forums should be it redirects to the install page and says:
Oh dear!
bbPress is already installed.
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?
(clicking upgrade just refreshes the page).
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
The problem seems to be that wordpress adds slashes to the input in its initialization, and them comes bbpress and adds slashes once again, and since the code assumes that slashes were added only once, stange things happen.
solution that work for me: in bb-settings.php change
// Sanitise external input
$_GET = bb_global_sanitize( $_GET );
$_POST = bb_global_sanitize( $_POST );
$_COOKIE = bb_global_sanitize( $_COOKIE, false );
$_SERVER = bb_global_sanitize( $_SERVER );
to
if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) { // no need to sanitize if wp had done it
// Sanitise external input
$_GET = bb_global_sanitize( $_GET );
$_POST = bb_global_sanitize( $_POST );
$_COOKIE = bb_global_sanitize( $_COOKIE, false );
$_SERVER = bb_global_sanitize( $_SERVER );
}
Can someone update the Say My Name plugin?
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/say-my-name/#post-221
Upgraded to the latest bbpress version (1.0) I think.
I can still upload images with the attachments plugin except for when I am creating a new topic. For some reason the option only shows up when I am replying to an existing post.
Has anyone else experienced this after upgrading?
I dont know what happened but my images have stopped showing up in posts…

I didn’t touch anything. What the hell is going on. I am running latest version.
They are all showing up with the cross icon as in the can’t be found.
Guys, I know there are umpteen million threads about this on here, and I think I have read all of them. I cannot get wordpress and bbpress to integrate for the life of me!
I have my wordpress blog all setup, and I have bbpress setup and installed as well. I am using wordpress 2.8.4, and bbpress 1.0.2. WordPress is installed at the root (http://www.mysite.com is wordpress) and bbpress is installed at http://www.mysite.com/forums. I know how to create the page linking to the forum, and I have actually already done that.
My problem is that when I go through the bbpress/wordpress integration, when I hit “save settings” in bbpress it logs me out, and my login no longer works. IT IS KILLING ME!
I have tried this 6 times, and I have had another person (with more experience than me) try this twice. We both ended up with the same result.
Is this working and I am somehow missing the fact that it’s working? Why does my bbpress login get wiped out?
I need the most basic of step by step instructions apparently.
Thanks in advance.
What file I should edit to add something after “Welcome, “your_username”! View your profile (Log Out) AND HERE A CUSTOM TEXT”?
