I upgraded the WP.org Plugins Directory to bbPress trunk/ today. I’m sure there’s still glitches to work out. In particular, search may be a little out of date until I get the new sphinx index set up correctly.

Is this using the current Plugin Browser plugin, or an updated one?

It’s never used that one. It uses http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/svn-browser/
But to answer your question, an updated one. The publicly released one has been out of date for a long time, which is totally my fault
I know people are working on it for 3.org. One of the goals there should be to rerelease the code.

Yeah, I copied the wrong link, I meant the svn browser plugin.
Shame that it’s out of date, I was going to work on a git version of it. I guess I’ll just have to wait.

Stupid question to ask here perhaps, but do you know whether it’s possible to embed anything else than a youtube movie? Or, if possible, a Youtube movie in a higher rate than 360p?
Case in point, my GA plugin page.

It supports VideoPress embeds too.

VideoPress, Vimeo, and YouTube.
You can add an hd=1 parameter to the end of your youtube URL and it will default to HD.

FYI, some plugins with multiple authors aren’t showing up right. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/impostercide/ should list me and Skippy as authors, but is only listing Skippy. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe2/ on the otherhand is MISSING skippy. It’s very weird.

There’s some bugs in bbPress. In some places it treats user_logins case sensitively, and in others case insensitively (and sometimes it depends on your DB’s collation).
The easiest thing to do here is to be case sensitive in your readme.txt: change it from “Skippy” to “skippy”.

I’ve been thinking about this. there are times when you need a different name in the plugin to what is actually on the profile page. I’m leaving mine as broke as an example
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eshop/
The profile links to – Rich Pedley
The actual profile page is – elfin
(the profile page doesn’t seem linked to the encompassing forum profile at all by the way)
So can I suggest a possible change to the readme, allowing you to change the author name to whatever you like, but followed with [.name.] for the real profile page. Obviously if this addition isn’t found it should default to the current system.

mdawaffe,
any way to modify bbpress code to make login case-insensitive?
I posted about it here:

We’re experiencing some continued wonkiness with the plugins directory. The directory is about 12 hours behind. As of now, though, it’s catching up, which is better than it was doing an hour ago
Additionally, some plugin data may sporadically look inconsistent (don’t worry, no data loss).
I’m working on getting it stable so it will no longer fall behind or create more inconsistencies. Once that’s done, I’ll be able to repair all inconsistencies.

The plugins directory is caught up.
