I worked overnight to bring the My Views plugin up to date for public release. I am pleased to announce it now works with both 0.8.2.1 and the trunk!

But it now goes way beyond that. Be sure to read the readme.txt

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/67

You can see a demo here: http://bbpress.nfshost.com/forums/view/most-views

(My Views is a powerful addition to the default “views” in bbPress. It will let you customize output and adds several new views. My Views consists of a main plugin and several optional “module” plugins that can be added if desired for additional new views.)

Appended bbPress Views by My Views:

* Latest Discussions

* Topics I’ve Started

* Topics I’ve Participated In

Extended bbPress Views by My Views if optional “bb Topic Views” plugin by Mike Wittmann is installed https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/53

* Topics with the most views

* Topics with the least views

Extended bbPress Views by My Views if optional “Plugin Browser for bbPress” plugin by Sam Bauers is installed https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/57

* Installed bbPress Plugins

* Available bbPress Plugins

and many little other tweaks to views including proper titles and headers as well as a dropdown views list box.

I wanted to see if there is any interest in this plugin idea before I start coding it. I may just make it part of the “My Views” plugin.

Many (busy) forums have the smart idea of a front page that consists of moderator promoted threads (topics) instead of just the “latest discussions”. But of course some will prefer just the automated “latest discussions” if they don’t have enough moderators or the traffic to maintain a hand selected list.

So I could make a plugin that let’s moderators promote a topic to the front page. And then in your template you could replace or suppliment the “latest discussions” with the list. Then “latest discussions” would just become an optional view in the views list.

Anyone interested?

I need someone to integrate BBpress to my exiting site,if anyone is intrested..pls email me at froots@gmail.com and i will brief you on what are the things and looks that i need. Thanks guys..

Because of the nature of stickies and the green color to it… one tends to overlook them and move on to the new regular threads below them…

is there a way to show sticky with new color everytime a new thread is posted or something which will tell readers that “Check sticky”…

One of the things that most other forums have is a feature to subscribe to the digest version of the forum’s new topics.

Obviously more technical users will subscribe through RSS, but for most non-techs they’d still prefer email. Could be a nice feature to get people to come back to the forum.

As far as specs go, the email should only contain the topic posts, and none of the replies, and give them an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and a link to the forum itself.

Heya Sam,

Since you came up with the following function, I think you can help me answer a question about it.

The function:

add_action( 'bb_admin_menu_generator', 'myplugin_add_admin_page' );



function myplugin_add_admin_page() {

bb_admin_add_menu(__('My plugin'), 'use_keys', 'myplugin');

bb_admin_add_submenu(__('My plugin sub menu item one'), 'use_keys', 'myplugin', 'myplugin');

bb_admin_add_submenu(__('My plugin sub menu item two'), 'use_keys', 'myplugin_two', 'myplugin');

}

This works, it will add 2 submenu’s to my new menu, but how to show up things like forms under each tab?

Let’s say I have submenu tab1 and tab2. Under tab1 I want to show form X and use some functions. Under tab2 I want to show form Z and again have some functions their to use the form etc. But how do I declare where it will show what? How do I get stuff under tab1 and how under tab2?

Do you understand what I mean? Can you give me an excample too?

Many thanks

ps. anyone can answer ofcourse

Is it possible to let users always have to login each time the visit the forum?

So if they leave the page/forum they will be auto signed out. When they return or start up their browser and visit the forum, they’ll have to login again.

Perhaps something with cookies that they will use a cookie for 1 session only?

Sec, how can I make it so that the users will always see register.php first if they want to login instead of the forum frontpage? (i have an idea about this, using the .htaccess file, but perhaps there are other options)

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘AND meta_key=’views” at line 1]

I’m still working on it when I have the time but what do you think of the 760px wide hybrid I made?

I find white/grey/green a bit bland so I will add some colour to it eventually but wanted a starting reference point that looked similar to both.

Could they please consider using the favorites notification plugin?

People are posting bug reports on my plugins and I am completely missing them because I don’t know to check.

Maybe they can simply code the “extend” area to email the plugin author if there is a post on any of their plugin pages?
