chart to compare BBpress vs miniBB vs phpBB vs SMF vs vBulletin

Published on July 8th, 2007 by _ck_

I had forgotten about this site, they did an incredible job programming it. Facinating to compare:

http://www.forummatrix.org/compare/bbPress+miniBB+phpBB+SMF+vBulletin

(I picked those top five but you can choose from like 25 others)

But I can easily spot some missing things from the bbpress chart that have been added in the core or via plugin, so they need an update…

Why “favorites” ? Bad terminology choice?

Published on July 8th, 2007 by _ck_

Not only is favorites spelled differently in different english speaking countries, to many novices it also implies you are adding a browser bookmark, which they won’t want to do, to avoid clutter.

I don’t recall any other forum software that calls it “favorites”.

Is this really a good idea? Am I making too much of it?

Subscribe/Track/Watch are perhaps better choices?

(yet another) integration bug, no Role set on registration

Published on July 8th, 2007 by _ck_

I’ve just discovered that any member who registers through BBpress instead of WordPress never gets a Role set (ie. Subscriber) so while they can use the forum, they can do anything on the WordPress part, even though they are logged in.

Link to profile edit from wordpress header

Published on July 7th, 2007 by

I’m calling the wp-headers in forum as advised in seamless integration thread. I need to add a link to the forum profile in the header as users get confused when they only see the admin tab for wordpress. I have the loginanywhere script, and need a link to the users profile edit somewhere in this code:

`echo “<div class=’greeting’>nHej, “; echo $user_identity; echo “! Inställningar | “;

echo “Logga utn</div>n”;`

My forum is here: http://www.doublepeace.se/forum/

bbpress doesn’t auto-close tags?

Published on July 7th, 2007 by _ck_

I’ve got sloppy members not closing their tags and the markup runs through the rest of the page. Doesn’t WP already do auto close on tags? Did bbpress not pick up that part of the code?

make profile.php show current member when no id given

Published on July 7th, 2007 by _ck_

Would it be an easy hack to make profile.php show the current member instead of “user not found” when visiting example.com/profile.php without an ?id=x specified ??

I’d like to be able to send members to their profile with a link when they request help on how to upload an avatar, etc.

(obviously if the person looking at profile is not logged in they’d still get the error… – next I have to figure out how to make a custom wpdie/bbdie plugin)

Can’t put code between backticks after upgrade

Published on July 6th, 2007 by M

After trying to add code between backticks, all I’m left with is something like this:

`

m

`

Instead of:

<img src="http://www.yourimghosthere.com/yourimage.gif" />

Deactivating plugins didn’t fix it, and nothing else has changed other than the upgrade. Is anyone else running into this?

Edit: okay, at least now I know it works on the bbPress forums. I’ve no clue where to look to fix this, can anyone toss out an idea or two?

‘code’ works, so long as I don’t include the brackets around the code I’m trying to show.

plugin request: allow admins any markup override

Published on July 6th, 2007 by _ck_

On WordPress, admin can post any content, any html markup regardless of restrictions for visitors.

I’d like to be able to do that on BBpress?

(簡單說:/bb-includes/languages/ )

找到 define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

修改成 define(‘BBLANG’, ‘zh_TW’);

Upgrade disaster

Published on July 6th, 2007 by bedbugger

After upgrading, I had my template and but no topics or forums listed.

So I started over: installed just bbpress upgrade AND my old config.php file.

This is the result:

You see the topics and forums, but can’t click to read them or login.
