This would lead to a complete re-write of the project, but I have a better idea:</p> <ol> <li>bbPress should be a standalone platform, so it can also be run without WordPress.</li> <li>There should be a plugin on WordPress plugins repo (for eg. <code>bbPress Forums Integrator</code> or simply <code>bbPress</code>), which would have bbPress as svn:external and load the bbPress files as BuddyPress does it. Basically the plugin could be what can be found here - <a href="http://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums" rel="nofollow">http://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums</a></li> <li>This way both type of users would be benefitted - those who want bbPress as a standalone and those who want it to be deeply integrated with WordPress.</li> </ol> <p><em><br /> Some of my thoughts...<br /> Gautam<br /> </em> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-show-tags-page-url-using-id#post-66100 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:04:30 +0000 kmxz 66100@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,everyone,</p> <p>The default tags page is like</p> <p>example.com/tags.php?tag={tag_name}</p> <p>but I want to make the url like</p> <p>example.com/tags.php?id={tag_id},</p> <p>is there any way to make it? could it be done by a plugin?</p> <p>I have to do so because using the tag's name in url may lead to being blocked by Chinese government's Internet censorship.</p> <p>thanks. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/username#post-66011 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:24:10 +0000 Leander8728 66011@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I want to know the name of the User that is logged in (the name that he is registered, so not viewed on the forum. Most of the time, people change there name to look it better for forum post's and comments. But i want the real name.)<br /> So not bb_get_current_user_info('name'); because then i get the name dat is displayed on the site. </p> <p>Another thing is: Is there a plugin, or trick to let Wordpress and BBPress more cooperate between them? Because, if i know logged in on wordpress, is must do exactly the same thing on bbpress. But i want logged in on wordpress and in the same time logged in in bbpress too.

I am lost; I've been scouring the internets for a few days to no avail.<br /> I thought what I was looking for should be quite easy, but I can't find it.<br /> What I need is a forum-less forum, where all topics would be displayed according to date (kind of like the view inside a forum, or the "latest topics" in bbpress), with tags and/or categories for easy search.<br /> All the forums I find are multiple-forums by default. I can't find one that allows me, if I set a single forum, to display the topics only.<br /> What would be even more ideal is a forum that doesn't make a difference between a topic, a post, and a forum. Anything could be replied to, and nested, to infinity. But I guess this really doesn't exist.<br /> Any help would be appreciated.<br /> Thanks </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i18n#post-65447 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:19:58 +0000 Ramiy 65447@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>how can i add new translations to<br /> <a href="http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/he_IL/" rel="nofollow">http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/he_IL/</a><br /> ? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fatal-error-entering-general-settings-from-admin#post-65372 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 01:12:20 +0000 Dale Brown 65372@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>From the admin when I click on general settings I get this error message.

(It'd be very nice if the sites contained some sort of "Why you might want BBPress" or "Why you might want BuddyPress" or even perhaps "Basic requirements"--not to mention "Why you might want to install both BuddyPress and BBPress".)</p> <p>I am a complete newcomer to adding forums to a Wordpress site, but I am planning to take the leap with a new blog site I am about to launch. A few basic questions, please:</p> <p>From the looks of BuddyPress, it also offers forums by itself...although this is unclear from their site. What is the advantage, of any, of having BBPress either instead of or in addition to BuddyPress? Also, so far at least I have not found on the BBPress site a requirements listing--will it now work with a straight WordPress install, or is it tied to WordPress MU at this point? (With the upcoming integration of WP and WPMU, at this juncture I simply don't want to go through the hassle of installing MU.)</p> <p>I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, or advice you can give.

Basically, he is the authority on the matter.</p> <p>I bring this up because I thought today, what the heck are we doing? Wordpress integration is the single most asked for feature, it's the reason a large number of people choose bbPress, and according to Matt:</p> <blockquote><p> Strategically the most important thing we need to figure out is how to integrate bbPress better with WP<br /> -http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/future-of-bbpress </p></blockquote> <p>Ok, but if we look at what Andy has said, in order for this to happen we need to remove BackPress from bbPress. Except... 90% of the changes from bbPress0.9 to bbPress1.0 was adding BackPress. </p> <p>So, if integration is the plan (even as a plugin), and integration = no backPress, then whatever platform we build the fully integrated bbPress out of is bbPress without BackPress, or as we commonly call it bbPress0.9.</p> <p>So then why are we building on top of bbP1.0, when we're going to have to port that code back to 0.9 in the future or worse, attempt to combine the two. Why are we focussing on features that are already in WordPress as standard, given that they will work as via the WP functions once integrated.</p> <p>How far down the rabbit hole are we going to go before we take a slightly longer term look?</p> <p>Anyone have any thoughts for a Friday evening? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/irc-meeting-february-14th#post-64566 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 16:08:16 +0000 bobtheman 64566@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Everyone is invited to the bbpress IRC gathering on </p> <p>February 14th 2010 @ 7 PM EST<br /> irc.freenode.net<br /> #bbpress</p> <p>If your not familiar with IRC, the easiest way to join the chat is to visit this link and pick a user name<br /> <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=bbpress" rel="nofollow">http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=bbpress</a></p> <p>Some Topics Of Discussion:<br /> Project Manager Appointment<br /> Ground work for Project Roadmap<br /> Release of 1.2 and future bug hunts </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-developer-needed#post-64632 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 06:05:37 +0000 sweetiessecret 64632@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I am not sure if this is the place to ask or not.

BBPress locks up sporadically, usually for 5 minutes at a time. It gets a database connection error most of the time. It does not appear to be the web hosting that is the problem because I have literally been on the phone with them daily for the last month and they cannot find anything wrong on their end. It worked fine when it was setup but as of 2 months ago this problem has been happening without anyone to help me figure it out. It does not appear to be a plug-in but cannot be for sure with that either.</p> <p>This is the problem I need help with now but there will be things that need to be developed over time that I can use help with as well so I am looking for a "go to" guy or gal.</p> <p>Thanks.
