WordBB 0.3 Released
WordPress 3.0 has been around for a few days now, and yesterday I noticed that WordBB has some broken features. So I fixed them, added a couple things some folks asked for, and uploaded WordBB 0.3.
Here’s the new stuff:
- Fixed some WP 3.0 compatibility bugs (posts and categories sections)
- Improved performance on some SQL queries
- It’s now possible to add a link to the original WP post before or after the thread’s post content
- Latest threads widget now checks user and forum permissions (e.g. protected forums won’t be visible to guests)
- Fixed bug on the post excerpt function (now it checks if there’s an excerpt, otherwise it just uses the content before the “more” tag)
- wordbb_get_userinfo() renamed to wordbb_get_logged_user_info()
As usual, post your bug reports and/or comments here (please try not to use forums or PMs on the MyBB forums, as I can’t keep track of everything). Enjoy!
Hello, was the bug relating to wordBB creating multiple thread for the same WP Post in the case of that post having multiple categories? “With the wordBB category options set as Default Category on all”
Hello, in the old wordBB, we could create only a small number of threads, as in, if we go to the thread creation page, there is no way to create a thread for all the old WP posts, the plugin only shows the most recent ones, like the recent 20 or something, what if i want to create a thread for each and every blog post i have?
Hello, I would like you to add a function that retrieves the MyBB logged in user’s logout key: “$MyBBI->mybb->user['logoutkey']“.
Hey,
I added that to my todo list. It will be there in the next version, which I think I’ll release tonight. Thanks!
Hi,
Can we show our forum in a page/category in our wordpress blog?
Thanks!!
Is there a way to select a specific forum for each article to be posted in? Right now all my articles are appearing in the default post forum, but I’d like to post different articles in different forums.
Thanks!
Ok so I’ve found where you can add a default forum based on the articles catergory. That works great!
Another question has popped up now. Since installing comments no longer appear when using my recent comments plugin. Any idea why and if it’s fixable?
@Civil Engineer: have you checked the widget’s configuration?
@Hangman: There’s no configurations to set other than title and number of comments to display.
Hello Hangman, thank you for adding that to your todo list. I hope to see the next version released soon.
The previous version had worked pretty well with WordPress 2.9.*. After upgrading to WordPress 3.0, the “create thread” function does not work with either WordBB version installed. WordBB has been very handy for integration and convenience, so hopefully we can get it fully working again ASAP. We’re hosted on NearlyFreeSpeech.Net which uses php safe_mode but we’ve already tweaked permissions using Putty which usually gets prevents any problems in that regard.
@Sov and @Civil Engineer: drop me a mail so we can fix those problems there.
@WordBB User: I added the functions wordbb_get_logout_key() and wordbb_get_logout_url(). Let me know if they work for you.
@Hangman: The wordbb_get_logout_key() and wordbb_get_logout_url() functions work great. It allows me to create a logout link for my website. Thank you.
I sent you two emails. Still not able to create forum threads from my wordpress posts and my recent comments plugin(s) won’t work.
having a small issue with WordBB Users
current setup relative to Domain.com
mybb path: /
mediawiki: /wiki
wordpress: /blog
I have not gotten to the point of actually testing the blog posting to mybb as I am not able to get it to let me link mybb’s superuser to wordpress’ admin any advice?
hit enter instead of shift and it submitted sorry.
I am not evern getting the option under users for WordBB Users.
@Ken: Could you explain your problem better please? You don’t even see the WordBB users section? Which errors do you get?
I Get no errors, myBB is the root path, and wordpress is in the /blog directory. I have the following menus
WordBB Catagories under posts
WordBB Options under Settings
But under Users there is no WordBB Option
@Ken: Can you take a screenshot of your /wp-admin/users.php page? There should be a “MyBB user” column there…
I’m having a problem with the WordBB plugin. When my authors publish posts on my wordpress blog they appear in the forum under the default post authors name instead of the author who wrote it. Is there anyway I can make the post recongize who is posting the article?
@Civil Engineer: Yes. Go to WP’s Users section; there’s a text box on the right, in a column named “MyBB user”. Just enter the username of each user you want to link, and you’re done.

@AtticShow: Looks like you’ve set a wrong cookie path (or didn’t set one at all), so the plugin doesn’t know you’re logged in. Please refer to the documentation: http://valadilene.org/projects/wordbb/wordbb-documentation/#cookie_path
Also, it’s weird that you’re getting an array calling the PM function; you should get null or false since there are no cookies. Looks like a bug I should fix. Could you please var_dump the return value of that function?
Hangman, I am having great difficulty with the plugin, as users do not need to register or logarem in again, explain to me how to run it? sorry the bad English, I’m not very good.
@Mateus: Sorry, I don’t get what you’re trying to say…
Confirmed this is not working at all with WordPress 3. Fresh install today and it wont put the wordpress posts into mybb…confirms about 5 reports I saw around the web that this isnt working.
Any idea when you’ll be releasing an update to fix this?
how do the users of MyBB not need to new register in wordpress…
@Rick: Weird, I have a few installs on different servers and they are all working. I have the IM contact of a guy who has the same problem, I’ll need to take a look at the internal errors he’s getting – I just have to find the time though. This weekend I guess.
Mr. Hangman, I would like to know how i do to integrate, in our wordbb plugin, registered users and logins, could you explain how to do that? sorry about mu english…
Hey, is there a quick way of importing users from MyBB into WP, rather than making each one of them an account and linking it?
@Cameron:D: No, because the point of that feature is to link blog authors to their respective forum accounts, not any user.
Here’s why you can’t / don’t need to merge all your WP and MyBB users: http://valadilene.org/2009/08/04/wordbb-0-1-beta-released/
Ah ok, It’s just that I’ve got about 30 people who will need to be able to post to the blog and was wondering if there was a quick way of doing it.
Hi ! Thanks for this amazing plugin !
I wish use wordpress 3.0.1 and mybb 1.6 for my network game siteweb.
I can’t install your plugin. i don’t see him in plugin panel control of mybb.
I past the directory “wordbb” in “inc/plugin”, What is the problem ?
When I create thread with Gallery and Pictures only HTML code shows up on MyBB. Is there a way to display the content as it is in MYBB?
I cannot get the plugin to create a thread, everything else seems to work, database connections, cookies etc etc but it simply sits there for 1min and then stops when trying to create a thread either manually or automatically. Using latest mybb and wordbb.
Hmm I think the issue is to do with php sockets, I changed my timeout to 120secs in php.ini and in now stalls for that length of time. So the socket isn’t working for some reason, permissions? Path?
