Hello,
I would like my avatar to stand under the name.. So I did it but now my “avatar + name” – div is longer/shorter then my text div.. I already tried to put the two div’s in a table width=100% but that doesn’t seem to work..
ps. if you don’t understand what I mean, it’s like in phpBB
thanks!

I am getting a number of spambots registering on my bbPress at www.fcgottawa.ca/forum/ I would like to try having an image verification captcha that registrants have to enter in order to register. I searched this forum and didn’t see anybody talking about this – does this exist? It’s a standard part of many other forum packages. Is there a plugin for this functionality?
Thanks for your suggestions.
I am seeing a number of errors on validation that must be in the forum script, i.e. some areas of the forms are registering errors with id’s and labels missing, and body id left empty. Is there access to this scripting for corrections to be made? It seems to me that making changes to the forum is difficult to decipher the location of certain function values that could be changed to allow for easier theme changes. i.e. Changing post_forum title names etc. Is this something I can learn to manipulate or not?
Please take a moment to visit http://alexrabe.boelinger.com/category/nextgengallery/ and take a look at it.
I want to do that, just with bbpress.
Anyone have anything like that in the works or know how I can make it work with bbpress? Any help is appreciated!
I have tried everything to delete topics and I want to re-name the forum theme and I can’t seem to get this done. In the dash board it shows no topics to delete and I have tried to get it done in the front-page php but it is just the variable names or whatever php calls it. I could use your assistance,
Thanks RJ
Hello,
I attempted to upgrade and in the process I was not able to locate .htaccess file as instructed to keep. And, I am very bright, it seems that I have miss-placed the database name and password. So, does this mean that I must start from scratch, and if so, what steps do I take that will eliminate any cross-over issues with forum name and my-template, etc.
Could use more than a little help.

Hello can you do anonymous post in bbpress.
i would like my users to be able to post anonymously. if so how do you handle spaming?
also is anyone aware of any legal issues regarding this.
Hi all.
(Sorry for my bad english. I tried to be verbose in order to avoid my bad english affect your understanding)
I wrote a plug-in, in order to have the best rewrite rules (in my opinion :p ) in the world.
this plugin achieves two things:
One: I need to show, in the URL, the logical parent-to-child relation between forums and topics, so
http://www.example.com/bbpress/topic/my-sweet-dog
URL has to show the forum that contains the topic, and become
http://www.example.com/bbpress/forum/pets-discussions/topic/my-sweet-dog
when performing the rewrite, the rules totally ignore the forum part, so it’s only a visual thing.
and, more difficult,
Two: I need to shorten the URL and have fewer subdirectories, so
http://www.example.com/bbpress/forum/pets-discussions/topic/my-sweet-dog
has to lose the useless “/forum/” and the useless “/topic/” parts, and become
http://www.example.com/bbpress/pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog
ATTENTION: you cannot do the second thing without the first thing. you must be able, in rewrite rules, to discriminate between a topic and a forum. you then will have that forums have one string (the forum slugged name), while topics have two strings (the forum slugged name and the topic slugged name), so you can do that, and /pets-discussion/my-sweet-dog will belong to “My Sweet Dog” topic in “Pets Discussions” forum
In order to do so, I need to
– modify forum link creation
– modify topic link creation
– modify rewrite rules
– avoid a forum to have a reserved name, as using bbpressfolder/forumname to reach a forum is risky! I have to prevent a forum from having a slugged name like “bb-admin”!!! here’s a list of reserved words:
– all words with a dot. those are files, like style.css and so on. the slugged names never have a dot. I have only to avoid rewrite of dotted words.
– all bbpress subfolders and special folders. these are all that start with
bb-* , my-*
– every other reserved word already used by rewrite engine:
tag, profiles, view, rss
All this is achieved adding a “r-” string in front of the slugged string. so a forum named “My Forum!” will have “r-my-forum” as slugged name. Unfortunately, this filter operates also for topic names and maybe other things. this mean that a topic named “rss” will have “r-rss” as slugged name. Not so bad, in facts.
So these are the operations:
– add a filter to get_forum_link (delete the “/forum” part)
– add a filter to get_topic_link (add the “forum/slug-forum-name” in the link, and eliminate the “/forum” and “/topic” parts)
– modify the rewrite rules (I used IIS isapirewrite, but apache is pretty the same)
– add a filter to bb_slug_sanitize (avoid a forum to have a reserved word as slugged-name, like “rss”, “profiles”, “my-plugins”, etc
And there is the code for these operations:
function my_get_forum_link_filter( $link , $forum_id = 0 ) {
//retrieve the forum object
$forum = get_forum( get_forum_id( $forum_id ));
//check for rewrite
$rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' );
if ( $rewrite ) {
//what kind of rewrite there is? slug use "forum_slug" column, else the column is "forum_id"
$column = ($rewrite === 'slugs')?('forum_slug')
'forum_id');
// change /forum/pets-discussions in /pets-discussions
// this work only if the rewrite module is modded!
// and this work only if the slugged name will NEVER
// be a reserved word like "rss" or "bb-images"
// and this is achieved by a filter on bb_slug_sanitize
$link = str_replace('forum/' . $forum->$column , $forum->$column, $link);
}
return $link; // Very important line!
}
add_filter( 'get_forum_link', 'my_get_forum_link_filter' );
function my_get_topic_link_filter( $link, $topic_id = 0) {
//retrieve the topic object
$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $topic_id ));
//retrieve the forum object that is the topic container
$forum = get_forum( get_forum_id( $topic->forum_id ));
//check for rewrite
$rewrite = bb_get_option( 'mod_rewrite' );
if ( $rewrite ) {
//what kind of rewrite there is? slug use "forum_slug" column, else the column is "forum_id"
$column = ($rewrite === 'slugs')?('forum_slug')'forum_id');
//create the "forum/pets-discussions" chunk to show the hierarchical relation forum->topic
$forum_nice_uri = "forum/" . $forum->$column . "/";
//attach the hierarchical chunk to the link
$link = str_replace(bb_get_option('uri'), bb_get_option('uri') . $forum_nice_uri, $link);
// change /forum/pets-discussions/topic/my-sweet-dog in /pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog
// this work only if the rewrite module is modded!
// and this work only if the slugged name will NEVER
// be a reserved word like "rss" or "bb-images"
// and this is achieved by a filter on bb_slug_sanitize
$link = str_replace('forum/' . $forum->$column , $forum->$column, $link);
$link = str_replace('topic/' . $topic->$column , $topic->$column, $link);
}
return $link; // Very important line!
}
add_filter( 'get_topic_link', 'my_get_topic_link_filter' );
function my_bb_slug_sanitize_filter( $text_slug, $text_original = '', $length = 0 ) {
// add "r-" by regex when the string begins with "bb-" or "my-" or is a reserved word
return preg_replace('/^(my-.*|bb-.*|rss|tags|view|profiles)$/', 'r-$1', $text_slug);
}
add_filter( 'bb_slug_sanitize', 'my_bb_slug_sanitize_filter' );And there’s the rewrite rules! ATTENTION!!!!! these rules are for IIS isapirewrite, so these are to be modded to work with apache! sorry but I don’t have any apache installation to play with. It’s a simple task, anyway. Every regex guru and regex accolite can do that. Even a regex wannabe can find out googling.
# first we rewrite the pages for normal slug-rewrite usage
RewriteRule /bbpress/tags/([^/?]+)/page/([0-9]+)(?
?(.*))? /forum2/tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2?3&$3: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/tags/([^/?]+)/?(??(.*))? /forum2/tags.php?tag=$1?2&$2: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/tags/?(??(.*))? /forum2/tags.php(?1?$1:) [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/profile/([^/?]+)/page/([0-9]+)(??(.*))? /forum2/profile.php?id=$1&page=$2?3&$3: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/profile/([^/?]+)/([a-z-]+)(??(.*))? /forum2/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2?3&$3: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/profile/([^/?]+)/([a-z-]+)/page/([0-9]+)(??(.*))? /forum2/profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3?4&$4: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/profile/([^/?]+)/?(??(.*))? /forum2/profile.php?id=$1?2&$2: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/view/([a-z-]+)/page/([0-9]+)(??(.*))? /forum2/view.php?view=$1&page=$2?3&$3: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/view/([a-z-]+)(??(.*))? /forum2/view.php?view=$1?2&$2: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/rss/(??(.*))? /forum2/rss.php?1&$1: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/rss/forum/([0-9]+)(??(.*))? /forum2/rss.php?forum=$1?2&$2: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/rss/topic/([0-9]+)(??(.*))? /forum2/rss.php?topic=$1?2&$2: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/rss/tags/([a-z-]+)(??(.*))? /forum2/rss.php?tag=$1?2&$2: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/rss/profile/([0-9]+)(??(.*))? /forum2/rss.php?profile=$1?2&$2: [I,L]
# then we have a rule for special words, so they are left as they are, and the isapi module does not proceed further
RewriteRule /bbpress/(my-.*|bb-.*|rss|tags|view|profiles)(/.*)? /forum2/$1$2 [I,L]
# then we have the forum and topic rules.
# ATTENTION: we DO NOT rewrite a dottet word, because dotted words can be files like style.css and so on
# before there are the topic rewrites, that are longer
# ATTENTION: note that the forum name is totally skipped trough ?: notation. In facts, bbpress doesn't need the forum name when reading a topic
RewriteRule /bbpress/(?:[^./?]+)/([^./?]+)/page/([0-9]+)(??(.*))? /forum2/topic.php?id=$1&page=$2?3&$3: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/(?:[^./?]+)/([^./?]+)/?(??(.*))? /forum2/topic.php?id=$1?2&$2: [I,L]
# and after there are the forum rewrites, that are shorter
RewriteRule /bbpress/([^./?]+)/page/([0-9]+)(??(.*))? /forum2/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2?3&$3: [I,L]
RewriteRule /bbpress/([^./?]+)/?(??(.*))? /forum2/forum.php?id=$1?2&$2: [I,L]And that’s all. I hope someone can use this plugin

hey guys,
what about a plugin that integrates google picasa web pictures directly into the board?!
could somebody do this?
