We have released version 3.1.3 of Simple:Press Forum. This has many bug fixes and minor enhancements but is mainly a security and optimisation release. The project to optimise which began with 3.1 and queries has now been extended to the code files. Sadly this has resulted in a complete restructuring of the folders and files and makes upgrading a little more tedious - but the net result should be worth it with better memory and CPU usage and, hopefully, better performance overall.
We are also opening up our Simple:Press Forum TRAC system where bugs are logged, milestones can be viewed along with development notes for future enhancements, features and changes. The really brave can also download latest builds if they wish to.
We are hoping that this will be the last 3.1.x update. If more important bugs or security issues come along then we will address them at the time with an interim update. Other than that we can now begin the more interesting work of looking at new features and requests for 3.2. Feel free to follow progress!

I read the readme file but can't understand what you mean for “the current plugins files and folders”, can't find it in the simple-forum folder!
|
|
|
|

If you already have a version of Simple:Press Forum installed then you have a 'simple-forum' folder. That woud be the 'current plugin' and the files and folders within in would be the, er, 'files and folders'.

Hi, Andy & Mr Papa.
I'm not sure if it is only me, but at least my forum feels a lot snappier after the upgrade to 3.1.3.
Great work, once again!

i want to make some changein the forum format
the organization of the links like
1. first i wont the “post replay” then “quete” then “edit” then “report post”
if its posible to join it i 1 line, under the post box
2. the bottom “save new post” not correct to be in a “replay” box - i think its better to writ on the bottom “save new replay”
how can i do that? or can you help me with that?
can you tell me which files i need to edit for that?
thanks a lot for the forum plugin
congratulations

(request: If you post again will you please NOT paste from another source. Your post includes a huge amount of invisible formatting which is unecessary and just consumes my database and disk space).
The only way I can really answer this is to say that you can, of course, modify as much code as you wish. All forum view rendering functions are pluggable which means you can completely replace them should you wish to do so. The main controlling code is in sf-page.php and the rendering (pluggable) code are in the files which have the word 'components' in the filename.
I am afraid I, personally, would be unable to help. My available time is spent working on 3.2

first, thanks for the your answer
nice to know that you worgin on 3.2 
so. then i whant to tell you that its better if we can see the forum in this screen (when i press on the “post replay”)
& also the order of the commands in the forum ruler better to be like that:
1. combine the second ruler & the tride ruler[ meens the serch ruler & the path ruler] to be in one ruler ( its importent to save up a a screen space)
2. pls if you can organize the command of the post in that way
| post replay | quote and replay | report post | edit post | add new topic | (in that sequence, in 1 ruler onder below the post box ) its can make it more easy to read the forum
3. THE Math Required! can be near the send bottom? ( becose in little break the concentration in the writing process)
4. the bottom in replay screen say “save a new post”, sorry but its mistake!!!
its have to be “save\send new replay” cose its new replay, not new post
am i right?
pls if you can think about all those notes?
i think is importent to do in 
any way - i wish you Good luck! with the next ver
& if i want to do it in the corrnet ver, i need to edit the sf-page.php?
right?

Hi
I found a little bug in the newest Version (Simple:Press Forum V3.1.3)
you have integrated in the sf-avatars.php some lines of code to delete old avatars but you have forgotten to set the SFAVATARS constant in the if clause so that the result is all times false
// delete old avatar if it exists
$oldfilename = sf_get_member_item($userid, 'avatar');
if (file_exists($oldfilename)) {
unlink(SFAVATARS.$oldfilename);
}
fixed version
// delete old avatar if it exists
$oldfilename = sf_get_member_item($userid, 'avatar');
if (file_exists(SFAVATARS.$oldfilename)) {
unlink(SFAVATARS.$oldfilename);
}

Thanks for the catch. I'll go and look it uo now.
Grateful

Hi!
Just found out that bbPress 0.9.2 does NOT play well with WP 2.6. Therefore …
I would like to know what the situation is when it comes to integrating Simple:Press Forum and WP 2.6 and/or WPMU 2.6?
Thank you,
–Gunnar

integrates just fine with wp 2.6… you are seeing such on this site…
I believe it works okay with wpmu but there was some wpmu version that had issues… will have to wait for Radio to weigh in as he is our wpmu expert..

I don't know if it a bug but here it is:
When you post a message in WP2.6 you can link it with the forum, so it creates a topics in the forum automaticly. Works great, but it's not possible to undo it.
When you edit the message in WP and uncheck this option, the topic itself (and link to topic) still shows.
“bug” 2:
When I posted the original message in WP I used the wrong font and other things, so I edited the original post in WP. The topic that was created before in the forum does not not change with it , so it only reads ones but does not see the changes I made.
Translation:
It did a translation to Dutch by editing the NL PO file. Most lines are translated, but I cannot find the message “Join the forum discussion on this post” that I assume is created by Simple:Press Forum and should be in the PO file rigth?

I'll number them for ease:
- You can break/remove the link between the topic and the blog post within the forum itself. it is on the admin tools drop down for the topic - 'break link'. That removes it. It might be an idea, I guess, to add that capability to the 'Write Post' screen.I will make a note for the future.
- Yes - it does not get updated. Tricky one this and I have always been undecided on whether we should or we shouldn't.
- No this should NOT be in the PO file as it is user defined. Visit your Forum Options > Links tab. You set the text to whatever you want and in whatever language you want.

Thanks!
1. It would be easier to add the removal to the 'Write Post' screen also, because that's where it's activated also.
2. My own experience is, that created posts are edited multiple times afterwords, because of typos etc.
So it would be nice if the forum text also changed.
3. Found it!
Other question about the layout:
I use a 3-column theme (with left and right sidebars) so the forum get's a little squeezed between the sidebars, although it's readable.
I really like the integration within WP, but would it be possible to open the forum in a new window outsite it's theme?
Also when you edit a topic it's outsite of it's frame. Exemple below

- This is not actually correct (although I have rased a ticket on it). You can also create a blog post when you create a new topic in the forum. It operates both ways.
- I tend to edit prior to publishing so it is just not my experience I guess.
- Good
- In a new window no but like me, you can create a new theme template for it that does not display sidebar(s). Again - look at the online help under themes (narrow columns).
- This is because your width is not big enough for the toolbar. You have three choices. (a) Do not use the timymce editor (b) vreate a new theme template that is wider (as above) - or (c) remove somne of the toolbar buttons and make the toolbar smaller. That is also covered in the on line help.

Hello I'm new to Word Press and I want to figure out how to use the forum. I've started a site called BipolarBeware.com for people who feel they have been misdiagnosed, others who want to learn how to live life medication free, or people just curious about the subject matter… I would like to run a forum on it, but I'm a doctor not a computer programer…but I want to try my best and any advice is appreciated.
