Two high priority bbPM fixes are now available in the repository: Private Messaging conversion makes threads, and Private Messaging conversion actually works.

If you downloaded bbPM 0.1-alpha7 before this post, download it again. I accidentally released a broken version.

What do you want to see in my bbPress plugins in the future? Are there any bugs that still exist? Have something else you’d like to say about them? Leave a comment.

Definitely some bugs on our forum site:
1) pagination is broken when on 2nd page of PMs and gets screwed up
2) suddenly, all new PMs don’t show up at forum.example.com/pm but if manually input the URL to the new PMs as announced to user via email, then PM displays fine (maybe related to pagination issue?)
3) NEW PM link leads to blank pageOther ideas:
- search PMs (definitely in demand)
- auto guess recipient user names while typing when sending NEW PM or ADDING USER TO PM (definitely in demand)
- prune old PMs (not super necessary)
- labeling system for PMs (not super necessary)Great work mate!

1) Will be fixed in 0.1-alpha7 (the code used one formula in one place and the complete opposite in the other)
2) Will be fixed in 0.1-alpha7 (caching problem)
3) I’ll need a link to your forum so I can try to figure this out.Recipient guessing would definitely be a good addition. I don’t know about searching, but it probably could be done. Pruning would be a problem because people tend to like to save specific messages.
Would labeling be like tagging, support forum, or Gmail?

Hi Ben,
No rush on a reply, but just curious on an eta for 0.1-alpha7? #1 seems to be plaguing us at the moment.
Thanks

Ben L
You can copy privatemessages.php from trunk, or download the development version right now. The fixes are in there, and they’re working just fine. 0.1-alpha7 will probably be released during September.

Killer – nice work!

Ahhh – while ( $bbpm->have_pm( bb_get_option( ‘page_topics’ ) * max( $get == ‘page’ ? $action – 1 : 0, 0 ), bb_get_option( ‘page_topics’ ) ) )
changed to
while ( $bbpm->have_pm( bb_get_option( ‘page_topics’ ) * max( $action – 1, 0 ), bb_get_option( ‘page_topics’ ) ) )
- thanks again
-
Ben L
You also need to change the line with
$bbpm->pm_pages( max( $get == 'page' ? $action : 1, 1 ) );, or your page numbering will be one off.

1) awesome
2) awesome
3) our forum: http://snipurl.com/rhcu7*I don’t think the pruning or labeling system are super in demand but those are features that appear on other forum software. The pruner is usually simple like “delete all PMs older than __ days” and the labeling system is kinda like Gmail so users can label PMs like “pending issue” or “chit chat” and stuff… I think its not necessary but probably in the future users might ask for it.

Ben L
I think the blank page error is caused by another error which I just fixed and will be also be coming in 0.1-alpha7.
-
sunny
Fantastic, thanks for checking. Will wait for 0.1-alpha7. =)

Also, if you could make an option to choose how many pm’s display per page that would be great. Right now it seems to follow whatever the frontpage “latest topics” is set to, so even using the topics-per-page.php plugin doesn’t help because then it changes both instead of changing the pm’s number separately.
Also, I’m not sure if this is tied to some things I said above, but as soon as pagination kicks in for BBPM, then the pm’s get out of order. Before I said how the pagination links get screwed up, well thats true, but the order of the pm’s according to freshness also gets screwed up. I’m sure if would be best to order the pm’s by “most recent pm is first (top of page 1)” and go down from there.

2 parter… 1. Why do both you and the the person who you PM get an email, should it possibly be only the person who you PM get the email about a new PM. 2. Could you build in the ability to opt out of PM emails somehow. So you no longer get emails at all about new PM’s if you are a regular poster and would rather just see the display message about a new PM.

I am trying to install bbPM on my bbPress site (integrated with WP) but each time I try to install I get the same error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home5/gofoucof/public_html/richmondideanetwork/bbpress/my-plugins/bbpm/bbpm.php on line 16
The forums say I need php 5 which I am running php 5.2.9 Can you assist me please? This is for an educational setting. Feel free to email.

Assuming you’re using bbPM 0.1-alpha6b, try using the development version. It should be fixed in there, along with a few other problems that people have been having.
-
Jon Messer
I just downloaded the development version and the same thing is happening.
-
Ben L
Try the development version now. Maybe you downloaded it before the repository put the newest changes into it.

I have downloaded alpha7 and it now installs but when I click “PM this user” or “Private Messages”, I get:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Any ideas?
-
Jon Messer
BTW-I did this with a completely new install and with only this plugin as a test and it did the same thing.
-
Ben L
There are only four things I can think of that could cause that error: PHP being disabled (which it isn’t), a .htaccess error (which there isn’t, because you were able to activate bbPM), incorrect file permissions, and bbPM being installed in bb-plugins instead of my-plugins. Try deleting your .htaccess for the test forum install and if bbPM is in bb-plugins instead of my-plugins, move it to my-plugins, and check the file permissions. (folders should be 755, files should be 644)

Jon Messer
I have successfully installed bbPM and now have an additional question: can I change the default to SEND emails instead of NOT sending emails?
-
Ben L.
The bbPM settings page in the admin panel sets the default. Anyone can disable the emails by changing a profile setting in their own profile.

Hey there. I’m having trouble getting Bavatars to function with my WordPress setup. Both the blog and the forum have the proper plug-ins activated and are sharing the same database. In bbPress, everything works fine, but the WordPress plugin doesn’t find the uploaded avatars from bbPress. My best guess is that I have the bavatars-wp.php file setup incorrectly. I’m sort of confused as to what “The full path to your bbPress installation” is referring to, exactly. (I have virtually no coding knowledge.)
The forum is located at http://www.michaelaranda.com/forum
The blog can be found at http://www.michaelaranda.com/blawgIf you’re able to point me in the right direction, I would be eternally indebted to you. I might even give you my first-born child.

<?php echo dirname( __FILE__ ); ?>
Put that code in a file with a .php extention, upload it to your forum folder, visit it, and there’s your answer. Be sure to delete it after you’re done with it, too.

Okay, we still have 6 queries on every page except PM threads, and on PM threads, we have 7. The reason for this is simply because bbPM doesn’t need anything other than the last post of each thread and some meta to figure out what everything is on most pages, so less data is being transferred.

Hey there, I have a quick question. In the forum I am using, the unsubscribe link sends us to a blank page. Do you have an idea of what is going on?
I am sorry if this question is in the wrong place or has already been answered, but help is much appreciated.
-
-
Ben L.
bbPM now has 6 queries per page instead of 25+!

I don’t know how to start a new question, I can only make replies here! When you send someone a PM it sends you an email saying that YOU sent YOU a private message in the forums. It should only show when someone sends you a message, right?
-
Ben L
That is fixed in 0.1-alpha7. You can download the development version to get this fix right away.

Why everyone will love bbPM 0.1-alpha6:
Forum admins can be added to a conversation if users are misbehaving, removing the need to go into the database.
Users will be able to send private messages to multiple recipients as well as add recipients in the middle of a conversation and still have them see the whole thing.
Everyone will appreciate not having every message and reply show up separately.

Ben L.
Working on bbPM. The next version will have the ability for more than 2 people to be part of the same message chain. So far, it looks like I’ll have to do an almost complete rewrite.
-
Ben L.
I just committed the new version of bb-NoSpamUser to the bbPress plugins SVN repository (using Mozilla Bespin), but I don’t currently have access to my home computer’s bbPress installation (I fixed an error with Backpress, but it seems to have backfired with my automated SVN up script, and unfortunately, I have no access to my filesystem from outside of my house)
Anyway, anyone with Subversion can grab the latest version (please use it on a local install first, as I said, I haven’t been able to test it) and try it out. It’s a complete rewrite.

Ben L.
For everyone who’s having problems with my bbPress plugins, I’m on vacation right now, but I’ll be back by next week. I have updates planned for all of my plugins, including a total rewrite of bb-NoSpamUser, so stay tuned!

Hey buddy! How about a tutorial on creating an admin panel for themes & plugins in bbPress? I am sure it will be very much beneficial for the community.

bbPress (with bbPM) and WordPress are working together sharing the same user database. Is it possible to make a plugin-reminder about new messages in a WordPress?
