Complete re-write of WP Forum

After many hours of debugging i have decided to completely re-write WP Forum from scratch
. And as I go along I’m adding some new features such as User Groups

understanding of the condition, the results of the diagnostic viagra generic than half.

. User Groups can be used to restrict and/or permit certain users to access forums. This is something I have gotten a lot of requests about
. Better support for different character sets. Especially the spanish and russian one

. Better support for language packs.

And for programmers out there, I’m doing this completely object oriented . This have several benefits:

  • Less bloated code
  • Maintenance is much easier
  • Re-use of code

As a user you can rely upon a much more stable product. This next version will be 2.0 and I’m almost done with the admin interface. It’s gonna take a while but it’s well worth the effort. I have started to use WordPress SVN repository which makes updates a breeze with WordPress’ built in installer.

    Hi Fredrick,

    I was just about to look into and install WP-Forum on my new project at http://www.setforever.net and noticed that you are doing a complete re-write.

    As a developer myself, I understand that it may take a while to develop an intial release, but can you let me know if you are planning to have an upgrade feature so that if I or anyone else installs the current version of WP-Forum, that we could easily upgrade it to the new version 2.0 when you have released it. Thanks in advance.

    If you need any help in testing the new version then please ask. I coulr offer assistance in development but I won’t as I don’t know how much time I could put in at the moment.

    Thanks again,

    Hey bharatk,

    Yes it will feature an upgrade function. So keep using older versions, upgrade will be a “breeze”.

    Yes adima. some users have experiences the same problems as you, i have not found out what’s causing it, every blog i have tried it on it seems to work.

    If you can take a look in your database and check if there is a field called ‘passwd’ in forum_group table.

    Do you have any forum_* tables at all? Perhaps you didn’t have sufficient permissions to create tables when you installed the plugin.

    There should be:

    "forum_threads";
"forum_posts";
"forum_forums";
"forum_groups";	
"forum_captcha";

    With the appropriate suffix.

    Fredrik,
    I have having the same problem adding groups.
    I have my db setup. There was no field passwd in the groups table. I have added it. Is that what I was meant to do? It still doesn’t work!! Please advise, I have been trying for a number of hours!! Cheers Dan

    The create table script is wrong. You will need to make sure the following columns are added to the table. Once all the columns are added, the script will work.

    COLUMNS REQUIRED:
    id – int(11)
    name – varchar(255)
    sort – int(11)
    passwd – varchar(255)
