A small, 18+ forum community for my online friends . I belong to alot of forums and wanted to run one of my own that was 18+ and more low-key then the typical XMB, SMF and PHPbb forums out there. I wanted a script that could have as little or as much as I wanted through plugins without all the un-necesary bloat and bbPress does that for me !

I’m using my own modified theme off of Kakumei.

Plugins include:

– Allow Images

– Avatars

– Memberlist

– Post Count

– BBCode

– Forum Restriction

– Onlinelist

– Since Last Visit

– User Time Zones

– Category Patch

A few more plugins and the forum will be exactly what I’m looking for.

Is it possible with a plugin (or existing functionality?) to create a bbpress forum topic everytime a new wordpress posts is made? And everytime a visitor writes a comment in that wordpress posts, it will appear as a post in that bbpress forum? (and vice versa)

Cheers all!

Hello, don’t mean to spam, as I just posted this into the technorati thread, but then read the post about strutting your press. Here’s what I’ve been working on:

I still don’t link to it from the main page as I work out the kinks here and there. I think the CSS is a little wacky on IE (I’m on Mac Camino!).

Again, thanks for the great software.

If anyone is using ‘ Avatar pluginsuleiman, here’s a hack I use to show the WPMU’s avatar in BBPress:

In post.php, after the <small><?php post_author_title(); ?></small> bit I use the following:

<?php

$userid = get_post_author_id();

$wp_avatar = '/full/path/to/public_html/wp-content/avatars/' .$userid. '.jpg';

$wp_avatarURL = '/wp-content/avatars/' .$userid. '.jpg';



if (file_exists($wp_avatar)) {

echo '<img class="avatar" src="'. $wp_avatarURL.'" />';

}

?>

Probably not the most elegant, but it works:

I was wondering if anyone knew what I would call to add a column to my forums so that I can see who originally posted a thread and who last commented? It drives me bonkers that I can only see who last posted and not who started the thread.

I’ve encountered with this error very recently, it didn’t happened before.

When a reply is posted (So far, by me the Key Master) the Topic closed message appears with no reason.

I have these plugins installed:

allow-images

bb-avatar

bb-memberlist

bb-post-count

bbpress_bbcode

fix-bbpress

forum-restriction

front-page-topics

I’ve never heard the word before…

Although there are already two avatar plugins available, they require that users either have their own webspace to store an avatar or use one of the avatar services (e.g. Gravatar).

My users do not have either of those things, so I wrote an avatar upload plugin. Besides offering avatar hosting, it also allows you more control over the type and content of avatars than simply providing a link to an offsite image.

Features

• Bozos can not upload avatars.
• Admins can configure the maximum allowed file size (bytes) and dimensions (pixels) of images.

  • Currently done from within the script (no Admin page interface at this time).

• Anybody with the ‘moderate’ capability can upload another user’s avatar.

  • This ensures that inappropriate images can be removed.
  • There is no “delete avatar” function at this time, but an inappropriate image can be removed by uploading a ’safe’ image (e.g. a blank 1×1 pixel image) to replace it (you could then manually set that user as a bozo to stop them re-uploading inappropriate images.

• File checking is carried out to ensure that:

  • The file has a valid extension (.gif, .jpeg, .jpeg, .png)
  • The file has a valid content-type (’image/gif’, ‘image/jpeg’, ‘image/png’)
  • The file extension and content-type actually match.
  • Other checks for filesize, image dimensions, etc.

I will be submitting this avatar to the bbPRess Plugin Repositry too.

Have I missed something, or is there no Maintenance Mode for bbPress?

I made a plugin that allows you to change wordpress cookie path&domain (and even cookieHash) to suit the need of bbPress.

My configuration was not “simple” :

wordPress : www.2diabolos.com/blog

bbPress : forum.2diabolos.com

everything is explained here.

http://www.2diabolos.com/blog/2007/04/06/nouveau-plugin-setcookieparams/

BUT I have a problem :

on my local server (for tests), I tried my plugin.

it works … for bbPress front-page and admin page, but not for topics and other “deeper” pages.

I put “cookie domain == false” (because cookie must not have domain when you are a “local server”, that what I understood from the standard)

I don’t understand why the frontpage appears nicely, and why, when I try to go into a topic, Firefox tells me that the server redirects the request in way that can’t go nowhere. And IE does not achieve anything (I prefer Firefox, it better for debugging…)

Firefox tells it can be a problem with cookie acceptance or desactivation.

I feel that bbPress is making a round (infinite) redirection ….
