I'm not yet a plugin hacker, nor am I sure whether this sort of cosmetic tinkering can be handled by plugins as opposed to editing the themes, but if anybody's interested I can try to extract enough fragments to help you get started retracing my steps. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/usually-forums-would-have#post-9296 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 23:02:46 +0000 riddle 9296@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Mistainu, by "breadcrumb structure" do you mean that the family tree of a sub-forum should be displayed? That's high on my wishlist.</p> <p>In other words, right now a subforum's breadcrumbs look like:</p> <blockquote><p>Food Forums - winesaps</p></blockquote> <p>When I wish they looked like:</p> <blockquote><p>Food Forums - fruit - apples - winesaps</p></blockquote> <p>I'm reluctant to use subforums at all if I can't give the user good feedback about where they are in the forum structure.</p> <p>So: does your breadcrumb code address this problem? And if so, is it coherent enough that I can glue it into place myself without being an expert about bbPress internals? (I do know enough PHP to be dangerous.) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/usually-forums-would-have#post-8151 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 17:08:17 +0000 fel64 8151@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Any news or update on what?

The point that cool2sv and others are making is that all the javascript that is written inline into the core code could be removed and the same functionality could be provided by adding events to DOM objects in external scripts. By doing this we could abstract away the absolute need for any particular JavaScript library, even though we would almost certainly include one in the core. If this was done then people could emulate the JavaScript functionality included in the core using other JavaScript libraries that better suit them. It is a cleaner and more flexible approach. That being said, there is quite a lot of work and testing to be done to achieve this for what may generally have limited benefit. Still, I think it should be considered and maybe even ticketed as an enhancement. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-future#post-6607 Tue, 10 Apr 2007 18:06:39 +0000 so1o 6607@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>@kernow</p> <p>Although bbpress does not want to become a bloated forum software, it would always evolve to enable capabilities to be added via plugins. As and when requests come in for features, it would be evaluated on the basis of whether it needs to be in a core or as a plugin - and if it needs to be a plugin, hooks will be provided for plugin developers to built *any* feature.</p> <p>cheers! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-future#post-6606 Tue, 10 Apr 2007 17:57:26 +0000 kernow 6606@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It'd be better as a plugin for WordPress, with the obvious option not to activate it, and the opportunity to deactivate it without affecting the function of WordPress.<br /> It'd share all the benefits of WP too. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-future#post-6557 Mon, 09 Apr 2007 09:19:17 +0000 c00l2sv 6557@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Of, thank you guys for reply...<br /> @Trent<br /> I'm sorry, maybe I did not explained myself clearly:<br /> I appreciate the thing that developers like the accessibility given by ajax, and are using this in their application, but the point was to leave the core functions that are for displaying content (like wp_list_pages(); for example in wordpress) outside of ajax.<br /> You're right wordpress uses ajax in the core but the templating part and the content is not affected at all (only the admin CP). This way we have ajax but only where it is really necessary.<br /> Sorry for bugging, I do understand that my problem is not the #1 priority of the project team but I was thinking maybe there is any solution, thats why I reported that. Sorry ...<br /> @Null<br /> Maybe the problem was in the marketing. bbPress was from the start advertised as perfectly compatible and easy to be integrated with WordPress. That is a great advantage, because WordPress is already one of the most usable publishing platform on the web, and people like everything that comes with it - as a result they took bbPress as an another plugin for giant. =] </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-future#post-6518 Sat, 07 Apr 2007 21:46:11 +0000 Null 6518@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I also think people should realize that bbPress isn't dsigned to be a plugin for WP in any way and the developers should keep in mind to not develop too much towards this too.</p> <p>It's a <strong>standalone</strong> forum, fast and light and should stay this way :D </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-future#post-6510 Sat, 07 Apr 2007 19:21:15 +0000 Trent 6510@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I know that you are frustrated cool2sv because WP and bbPress both use different AJAX, but it really only matters when you are doing what you are trying to do with running them both at the same time. Most users won't be affected by this same problem you are having. </p> <p>I am not saying what the developers of bbPress has done is 100% the right direction with AJAX in the core, but it was designed to be standalone and work that way. The WP integration was with logins and not developed to have them sharing libs. I have passed this on to mdawaffe, but the redesign of bbPress and its use of AJAX in the core most likely won't be the #1 priority. WP uses AJAX in the core and so does bbPress. So which one should be blame? Automattic developers like AJAX in the core!</p> <p>**Edit** As well, you could sent your request into the bbDevList as well. Just head over to the about page for the address!</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-future#post-6491 Sat, 07 Apr 2007 10:44:07 +0000 c00l2sv 6491@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I hope development team had a look on this thread:<br /> <code><a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/867" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/867</a></code><br /> and on this:<br /> <code><a href="http://forum.mootools.net/viewtopic.php?id=2337" rel="nofollow">http://forum.mootools.net/viewtopic.php?id=2337</a></code><br /> Why?!

I doubt they'd announce features before they're ready - that's a fairly stupid strategy for software.

I plan on updating Private Messaging first so that it works out of the box for integrated people.

In the New Year, we will have <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/</a> working and all the plugins will be in one place. Part of the fun of bbPress is the ability to have a light core file system and expand with plugins as most users don't need all the functionality. phpBB is a great system, but extremely bloated for most users that don't need all the functionality!</p> <p>As for the plugins that are around now, WOW! Thomas, Ardentfrost, So10 and others are popping them out like crazy! I would imagine no less than 50 plugins more in 2007.
