It will be similar to 4chan.org. I am also looking for it to be able to have these features. anonymous posting, attached images, video, banning option, no registration, moderation, unlimited sub forums, report option, accept tos before entering certain forums, log by ip and resize images or videos to right size. I am hoping that bbpress can do this because I like the fact that it is lite and you add only what you need. If it can't does anybody know of a forum software that can? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/requirement-of-forum-webmaster#post-14505 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 07:32:50 +0000 HowToGeek 14505@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>A host that doesn't support PHP is quite rare...

What you <em>need</em> is a Family and Friends forum, a Plugins and Themes forum, and a Other forum. I'm sure that people will be able to cope with seeing Themes threads if they only want Plugins. Unless your forum is so active that, say, you get thirty threads a day in each forum, there's just no point breaking it up more.</p> <p>The best thing is, if you lump the forums together then you'll have way more people seeing each thread, hopefully meaning that you get way more people contributing - not just the few specialists.</p> <p>Almost every forum I've ever seen suffers from overcategorisation, and a a few to sometimes even most of the subforums just lie there unused. What's the point in that? Get those peoples together. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-v-other-forum-software#post-5711 Thu, 22 Mar 2007 02:32:09 +0000 maker 5711@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Yeah, definately Trent.</p> <p>The site I'm working on has 3 sections.</p> <p>1. Forums for our specific projects (charity store products, our art projects, forum for sponsors promotion)<br /> 2. Not For Profit Sector Resources (including a forum for fundraising initiatives for a local hospital)<br /> 3. Arts Resources (including forums for different fields of the arts which includes community driven art projects)</p> <p>plus your normal general, private and admin forums.</p> <p>The subcategories will enable the page to guide readers to where they should be. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-v-other-forum-software#post-5704 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 17:42:10 +0000 Trent 5704@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Well, that isn't completely true because it allows users to categorize the forums. For instance, I might have 1 main forum for family and friends which has say 5 sub-forums in it. I do this and make them so only friends and family can create items in it. Then, I have another main forum for my plugins and themes which I have subcategories forums for each one. Then I might have my last main category for all other subforums. It just helps break up the forum into 'easier navigation' in my opinion regardless of the number of forums. In my example it might only be 15.</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-v-other-forum-software#post-5703 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 16:23:55 +0000 fel64 5703@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Are you sure you <em>need</em> it?

Not sure if it will be 1.0 or 1.5, but it is something worked on. If nothing else, it might become a plugin if it doesn't make the core.

It's great. Be sure to read the whole thread, because if you don't update every forum by adding it to a category, then you WILL suffer the consequences! (you'll get some nifty mysql errors until you fix it). </p> <p>Also, my suggestion to ANYONE using this patch...use it BEFORE you implement your design. I had quite a few things that had to change when I implemented it, as the post/category/forum hierarchy was quite a bit different from teh standard install. My CSS classes got ALL out of whack. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-v-other-forum-software#post-5137 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 15:28:17 +0000 Trent 5137@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Subforums is the patch by SamBaeurs for sure, yes.</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-v-other-forum-software#post-5135 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 14:22:10 +0000 chrishajer 5135@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>maker, you are correct (I believe) that there is no plugin to upload images although there are plugins to allow images in posts.</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/5">Allow images</a><br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/4">Wordpress user integration</a><br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/359">Latest bbPress posts in Wordpress</a><br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/752">Latest WP post in bbPress</a></p> <p>Have fun. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-v-other-forum-software#post-5129 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 11:48:45 +0000 maker 5129@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>macwise,</p> <p>how did you create your extra forums/subforums?</p> <p> I've done some looking around and found SamBaeurs patch - is this the best way to do this? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-v-other-forum-software#post-5127 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 10:40:12 +0000 maker 5127@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>cheers </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-v-other-forum-software#post-5126 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 10:27:23 +0000 Null 5126@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I suggest to SEARCH these forums first, cause your questions are answered many times before.

I previously had used PhpBB, and I was in the same boat. I wanted something simple, powerful, yet it HAD to integrate with WordPress. I was reluctant to go down this path, but I was swayed by two things: </p> <p>First, I love WordPress, the community, the customizability, etc. I was impressed with the simplicity available, with more complexity/power possible depending on what the user needs. Second, I was extremely enticed by the prospect of a "seamless" integration. I won't say that it's been a <em>total</em> breeze, but compared to the PhpBB/4Images integration I did last year, integrating BBPress with WordPress was a breeze...AND A HALF! Don't be fooled, though, this can be as simple as installing it and adding two plugins. Just depends on what your needs are.</p> <p>95% or more of what I'm modifying is template based files, NOT core files. This is quite different from my PhpBB/4Images integration, where I had to hack the core to the point that an update would have been disastrous. (Consequently, I never updated it, though it didn't matter since the site never really went live.)</p> <p>So, yes, this is a beta product. And yes, some of the administration options and a few specific features present in other bb systems aren't here. </p> <p>Would I use something else if I could do it over again? NO<br /> Do I miss any features from PhpBB? NO. In fact, what I suspected is exactly what has happened, that being that I'm as happy with what BBPress DOESN'T do as I am with what it does. Anything that I've needed so far has already been addressed in the forums, usually with a plugin. That makes modifying core files safe and simple. Bottom line, it works great, and I haven't looked back.</p> <p>Hope this helps. </p> <p>Ron<br /> Check my site at <a href="http://www.babyquestions101.com">www.babyquestions101.com</a>.
