bbPress 1.0 released
-
- Posted 2 years ago #
I have nothing but good things to say about the 1.0 release. So far everything is working great. It's a standalone installation. Thanks a lot Sam for all your hard work, it really shows. This is a very polished 1.0 release. Guess I should start eating crow now: http://twitter.com/chrishajer/status/2456994459
(FWIW, I needed a forum, quick, for a project I was doing and the only forum I know is bbPress. It didn't let me down.)

I thought those files would be automatically created. I'm chasing this up with our i18n person.

Nice to know it was smooth for you!

Localisation files are available now...

I have to say that while I may not agree with some of the politics around the 1.0 release, the amount of effort Sam has put into 1.0, especially over the past few months, is simply amazing and very impressive. Converting the entire bbPress core to use the WordPress core was not a trivial task.

Loving the addition of Voices into the core. Just figured out how to display them :)

Is there any easy way to search for plugins that are compatible with the bbPress 1 branch?
-
I currently use 09.5 but would like to upgrade this weekend. I do need to clarify a couple of things first.
To begin with I set up a temp/test forum and tested the plugins I currently use. All seemed to work just fine.
OK, not to the trickier part.
Originally I installed BBPress through SimpleScripts, which my host makes available on dashboards.
Then, changing my plans I moved the forum to a subfolder of a WordPress instillation.
I will ask my host, but I don't think there is a way to change the SimpleScripts info, which thinks the forum is located at the original location.
Does anybody know if SimpleScripts adds anything that could complicate a normal upgrade? I am a very cautious upgrader and will of course back up the data base. But I want to go into this knowing about any potential problems.

Second issue:
Currently my BBPress and WordPress are on two different databases. I would very much like to integrate users. However, the forum has about 50 users and the blog has about 20 users. Some are duplicates.
My main concern is making this as simple as possible for the users.
If I use the integration settings, how does that handle existing users?

Total newbie here, but I'm a blogger using WordPress 2.8.x who is thinking of adding a discussion forum to my site.
I am NOT a coder whatsoever, so please keep that in mind when answering, although I do have a friend who is one but I would need to be conscientous about using his time.
My question is whether bbPress 1.0 will easily integrate with WP 2.8.x as I have it currently configured. Obviously I'd want it to look similar to my site and have all the standard forum bells/whistles.
If not, does anyone have any other suggestions? I just began researching forums today. I've come across IPB and phpBB as other options, but again, I have no idea how easy it would be to integrate those.
Any help you can give would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks.

While I haven’t integrated WordPress and bbPress yet, this topic looks helpful:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/easy-way-to-integrate-bbpress-wordpress-themesIf you’re concerned about bells and whistles, your best bet might be to stick with version 9.0, since there are many more plugins that are known to be compatible. Right now, trying to use the older plugins on 1.0.1 might get you a lot of honks and farts instead.
