Looking for alternatives

Published on December 17th, 2008 by

I apologize beforehand if this isn’t the proper section for this – it’s the best that I thought fit.

I’m starting to look for alternatives to bbPress. I went with it initially because I was impressed by WordPress – so much functionality in one package, all basics included, and the offbeat requirements were largely fulfilled by third-party plugins. bbPress as a forum were also innovative, quick, and the “new generation” designed with the mistakes of current forums in mind.

However, unlike WordPress, the basic package doesn’t quite provide the basic functionality – and having 3rd party plugins do the essential jobs needed is unreliable. For some things, there is no such plugin yet, for others the plugins are outdated, or poorly designed.

Does anyone know of similar forums – designed to be lean, and up to date on today’s web design and technology?

I’ve looked at a whole bunch lately, and am eyeing Vanilla right now. However any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

edit: sigh, my ampersand is being replaced with & which leads to some trac ticket…

functions.bb-template.php should be moved to templates

Published on December 17th, 2008 by ganzua

This is just a suggestion; :)

I noticed that there is a lot of stuff in functions.bb-template.php file that should be moved to templates. There are h2 tags in post_form function plus a lot of words that need translation in localization cases.

Besides, I can’t find information on building custom loops. Is there any literature available?

1.0-Alpha-4, and the AJAX styles

Published on December 17th, 2008 by

hi. i’ve got 1.0-Alpha-4 running and it seems to work pretty good, but there’s one little thing i’ve noticed.

When you delete a reply, or add a topic to your favourites, for example — anything which induces AJAX to highlight the entry — the original CSS styles are not restored.

e.g.

i have my replies printed on a grey background. if i delete one of the replies, then it is briefly highlighted in red, before fading back to normal. but my original grey background is not restored — the CSS style has either been overwritten or removed.

if i immediately refresh the screen, then the original style come back.

Cookies in WP and BBpress only works on logout

Published on December 17th, 2008 by JesperA

Hi!

I´ve tried a WordPress and BBpress integration and it works just fine, i´ve have added all the cookie information in both config files of WP and BB press but it still doesnt work on login, only on logout.

My WP:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘halmstad’);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘halmstad’);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘halmstad’);

define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘halmstad’);

define(‘SECRET_KEY’, ‘halmstad’); // Change this to a unique phrase.

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);`

BB:

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘halmstad’); // Change this to a unique phrase.

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.domain.se/’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.domain.se/’;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->custom_user_table = ”;

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ”;

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_456c71223b3bb9958349ec3d65b850f6’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ”;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

Can anyone spot the problem?

Why was my thread closed??

Published on December 17th, 2008 by

I tried to look for policies before posting my request, but couldn’t

find any. Do you all not allow any posts regarding requests to hire

people to do installs/customizations??

It seems harmless to me, and would be nice to have an explanation

if a thread is going to be closed.

latest discussions: only new since last login

Published on December 17th, 2008 by

I have been looking everywhere, but couldn’t find anything related.

BBpress has a standart number of 30 “Latest Discussions” topics shown in the front page. There’s also a plugin that allow admins to set this number to whatever they wish.

But I would rather have a dynamic list only with new topics or topics with new replies since a user’s last login, listed in “latest discussions”. Currently I have the “new topics” plugin, but I feel its not quite what users want.

Any ideas how this could be done or where to start coding it?

Is There A BBPress Guru For Hire?

Published on December 17th, 2008 by

I have a site that I would like bbpress integrated into the current page layout, and I’m interested in

paying someone well for their time to do it. If you’re interested and have a really good working knowledge

of the program, would you email me: onewake @ gmail.com

Thanks so much!

Separating the first post of each topic

Published on December 16th, 2008 by ganzua

Hi!

I want to separe the first post of each topic from the loop ol list but I can find out how. In topic.php here;

<ol id="thread" start="<?php echo $list_start; ?>">

<?php foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class(); ?>

<li id="post-<?php post_id(); ?>"<?php alt_class('post', $del_class); ?>>

<?php bb_post_template(); ?>

</li>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</ol>

I’d like to change the loop so I can insert a h6 header after the first post and threads look like this;

h6 -> “Topic title”

First post

h6 -> “Responses; “

ol li -> rest of the posts

Is it possible to build a custom loop that only shows the first post and then insert a second loop for the rest of the post with an offset of 1?

Bug with 1.0-Alpha-4, when deleting a topic

Published on December 16th, 2008 by

spotted a little bug with 1.0-Alpha-4…

if a topic consists of a single post, and you try and delete it, it comes up with the following error

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ***********/bb-includes/functions.bb-topics.php on line 250

it does actually delete it, though.
