Great, thanks John. Personally I wouldn’t mind it if I had to have custom pages to get the functionality I want. But I think the existing page checking is probably a good way to go.
Excited for RC1!
Egh, that screws up some topic posting permissions.
Hmm. Well, I came up with a hack for my hard coded archive-forum.php. I threw:
$wp_query->query_vars = null;
in before any of the bbPress code and that seems to make it stop thinking it’s in a forum. It works but it’s ugly.
Thanks again Andre.
Okay, new problem:
I made a /forums/ page with those two shortcuts in it and it works fine as long as I rename my forums base archive slug to something other than forums. Otherwise the contents of archive-forum.php display instead of my shortcode page.
This would be fine except it replaces /forums/ in all the URLs with whatever I specify as my forums base archive slug. Any ideas?
I hard coded it so I could get some more control over it but perhaps that’s the issue, good to know it’s in there though. I’ll hack around and see.
Thanks Andre — working good here now, though I’ve switched to a custom template page now that I see how it works. My next (and hopefully last) question:
On my topics index page I’ve included the form-topic template so users can create topics from that page. The topic form however seems to have no functionality for choosing what forum to post in so it defaults to one of them. Is there a way to fix that?
Thanks again.
Still having the same topic tag issues (nothing found) — no URL collisions or anything. Just mentioning it since I don’t see it in the bug tracker.
There was a conflict noted with the bbPress topic tag slug. I changed it which cleared the conflict but the tag page still isn’t returning any results (“Oh bother! No topics were found here!”).
And ‘forums’ is the root of all the forum permalinks on my setup (everything else is default, I believe.)
Just upgraded to beta 3 and my topic tag pages don’t return any results now (on the default theme). Is anyone else having this problem?
Also was there any change in the root breadcrumb behavior? I think I read there was going to be so I held off implementing a fix.
Thanks for all your hard work, bbPress 2 is looking great.
I’m struggling with this as well. The difference is I installed a vanilla WordPress 2.9.2 and bbPress 1.02 as a test and got the integration working easily. However I have a blog I just upgraded from WordPress 2.8 to 2.9.2 and from bbPress 1.0 to 1.02 and nothing I do will make it work. I can’t see any particular difference and I’m just about to die of frustration here.
Congratulations on the release!
I don’t think the Facebook page setup stole any time away from bbPress development.
I’m a big fan (and now a Facebook fan) of bbPress and don’t want to come off as ungrateful. But I’m definitely concerned about how long it’s taking to get WordPress integration going. Am I wrong in assuming it would be one of the highest priorities?
I recognize WordPress has been in a state of flux regarding logins and I likely don’t know all the deep developer details, but it’s getting difficult to maintain confidence in the project. Will the 2.7 release make things any easier?
Ah, that makes sense. I just renamed the admin account to my name in the wp_users table and all seems to be fine. Thanks, Sam!
Ah-ha, good idea. I just hacked something like that in, hopefully that’ll clear that issue up. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before. Thanks!
