I am working on a new bbPress theme (dubbed “Ministry”) and would like your opinion. Especially on the color side of things: is it too light? etc. Anyway, here is the link.
Once done, I will be releasing this theme. There will be a matching WordPress theme as well.
Thanks in advance.
I posted my request here yesterday, no trouble at all. Got just the reply I needed, prompt and to the point, I’m so grateful! Applied it all and it worked – apparently – but the “preview pane” of my post just does not translate into a permanent post on the Transition Towns forum yet it is sitting here in limbo. What’s up? Sorry to trouble you again!
I’ve created a custom user system for a website and am looking for a forum solution; a friend recommended bbPress to me. However, I need to be able to integrate bbPress so I have a single sign-on and registration point.
Searching around, I’ve found that I’ll need to write a plugin that overrides some of the functions in bb-includes/pluggable.php. All right, sure. This is my first time working with bbPress (no WordPress experience either), so I might as well ask those with more experience in case there’s any advice that could make this easier for me.
I manage authentication through a single cookie with a login_key. This is a randomly-generated string of characters that gets stored in the user’s row in the users table. Each time the user signs in, the site generates a new key and stores that in the table and the cookie.
The users table itself contains fields similar to those of bb_users: id, username, email, first_name, last_name, etc. So integration seems to be a matter of getting bbPress to check for my login_key cookie, and if the cookie is valid, load the data from my users table instead of from bb_users. I’m not concerned about registration, profiles or password changes, since those are all handled by the site on a larger level (although if I could disable those parts of bbPress, that would be helpful).
Looking at pluggable.php, I’ll need to override wp_validate_auth_cookie() and bb_current_user() at the very least. Any other guidance?
I’m using Transition Towns bbPress forum and I cannot see a page of instructions anywhere – either there or here – about using code for those who are a little unfamiliar perhaps? I don’t understand your “allowed markup” below, if this is it. I want to put hyperlinks in but hide the URL, and the phpBB system [url=http://website_URL]website[/url] evidently doesn’t work here.
I’ve been trying to follow this thread that has a patch to display the temporary password for users who have just registered with my forums:
the code in my file is different then what pravin said to change in bb-includes/registration-functions.php. i just can’t figure out what needs to be changed.
is this technique outdated? I’m running bbpress 0.9.0.2. i would really like to do this as my mail server from my crappy host gets blacklisted often and registration emails get caught in spam filters.
i also know i should add some stuff to my SPF records, but 1) i’m not really sure how to do that (that’s a different thread though) and 2) i’d like to display the passwords at registration anyway.
please help!
Well finally I have got BBPress and WP talking to one another (hurrah!) but I would like to know if it is possible to open BBPress inside a WP Page so my current WP site wraps around the forum?
Is this possible and if so could some kind soul please tell me how to do it 
Thank you!
Hello,
I’m looking for a plug in that will block posts if the post contains multiple characters in a row. For example, if someone puts
“==========================================”
or
“aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb”
is there a plug in for this?
Hi
Just fixing the Moderation Hold plugin to update ‘Last Poster’ correctly when a post is approved.
I see the users table has 3 name fields for each user: user_login, user_nicename, display_name. (When integrated with WP, wp_users has the same fields).
It looks like the display_name field never gets populated, so which name should I use? What purpose does user_nicename serve?
Thanks!
Hi
I’m just trying to fix a plugin (Moderation Hold) so that it updates the ‘Last Poster’ field correctly when a post is approved.
It currently uses this to set the poster id and name:
$uid = $bb_post->poster_id;
$uname = $bb_post->poster_name;
But the user name doesn’t get returned. Is there a correct function for this?
Thanks!
First, sorry for my poor english.
My problem is simply. When I go to admin panel, Manege / Posts I can’t see the posts that exist on my forums.
I hope I explain well.
Thanks all and regards.
