What are the possibilities about the way favourites are being stored changing anytime soon? The current method makes it easy to pull the favourites for a given user, but going the other way (“How many people have favourited this topic?”) less than easy.

I’ve just installed the 0.8.1, every time a write a new post with an Administrator or a normal account my post is marked as Deleted (DB > post_status = 2) and in fact bbPress won’t show nothing but the first post after installation (First Post! w00t).

Sometimes when i push the Delete link the post will turn on and finally appear.

I use 2 different installations and got the same problem.

I don’t use both permalink and Wordpres integration, no plugins, the only basic installation.

I just spent a while translating a .po file that I got from here to Swedish and creating a .mo file from it. You can see the results on forum.rimnytt.se.

Should I make it public, or is there already a Swedish translation or a fresher .po file?

Hi,

Is it possible to have a ‘title’ field for replies to topics? My forum users are used to crafting clever titles in their replies.

I could probably make it a plugin, but it would mean changing the database – unless there is an easier way?

Hi,

Watching the TRAC, I’m seeing some new drag and drop functions for ordering the forums. Is this true? Cause I was working on a plugin to do this based on my bbmenu plugin. If this is true, I can stop devloping this, so let me know

Hi,

I know that you can add a plugin admin page into the admin menu. Unfortunally I only succeed in doing this into the submenu of the admin page. Is it possible to add a new plugin admin page link to the MAIN menu of the amdin area? (so not into the submenu)

And how?

I am currently working on a plugin that has many options and putting them all into the submenu would make it too crowdy/messy

Ok, what I want to do with the cookie is make it so that a someone logged into the forum gets special attention on my site…

So, I need to get this sorted: is the random alphanumeric code at the end of the cookie name (bb_pass_alphanumeric code or bb_user_alphanumeric code) just a per user specific or can I just copy and paste MY cookie’s name as the cookie name?

… I have looked in what I would say is the logical place to put the set cookie bit but then again, i don’t know much about bbpress…

So can someone help me either find how to read the cookie per user or whether it is possible to just use the cookie name that is set for me…

Ok… Let me start off by saying I’m not your “average” user seeking help. I’ve spent the last 2-3 hours combing this forum and trying almost every combination of cookie configurations and tweaking.

My site is setup like this:

domain.com/blog

domain.com/forum

This is what I have thus far:

In my bbpress config.php

$bb->cookiedomain = '.domain.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

In my wpmu wp-settings.php around line 245

if ( !defined('COOKIEPATH') )

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

if ( !defined('SITECOOKIEPATH') )

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

//define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.' . $current_site->domain);

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.com');

Of course I replaced “domain.com” with my actual domain.

The result is I get a total of 4 cookies when I login into both sites.

Both sets are identical except expiration. (I even edited the expiration date with no avail, apparently bbpress is a full year and day off)

the cookie properties look like this:

website			name			path		secure		expires			value

bbpress

.domain.com		wordpresspass		/		no		Mar 03, 2008		long_hash

.domain.com		wordpressuser		/		no		Mar 03, 2008		test



wpmu

.domain.com		wordpresspass		/		no		Mar 04, 2007		long_hash (same as the other)

.domain.com		wordpressuser		/		no		Mar 04, 2007		test

The only difference is the expiration date. As you can see bbpress has an issue with the date.

Perhaps I need sleep, or I don’t understand how the cookies are supposed to work. But I’m beat.. I can’t battle it anymore tonight.

I’m going to go get some sleep. Perhaps I’ll be able to figure it out from a fresh approach.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steven

How does BBPress compare to Simple Machines, PPHB and VBulletin?

I’m a bit worried it’s /too/ simple!

How well does BBPress integrate with WordPress?

I have an illustration blog (WP) at http://300.mpm.org.au

I want a forum at http://www.mpm.org.au

that works with the illustration blog

can bbpress and wordpress do this?

While this theme is a long way from being ready for public release, I thought I’d solicit comments. I’m having some trouble with character encoding (as mentioned here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/823?replies=5 ).

The site is currently on a live testing server and I don’t want it to get indexed. Hopefully, the nofollow will work. Anyway, take a look and let me know your thoughts!

I’m definately open to feedback.

Cheers!
