@whitehats – You should never, ever, modify any core files. The WordPress actions/filters system is in place to let you inject code and modify existing values as needed. Anywhere you feel the need to hack the core, there should be another way.

The only times when hacking core files makes sense are specifically when fixing a bug in the software or when creating new features to be inserted into core.

@miruru – Thanks for the kind words. Right now shortcodes are pretty limited to major template functions, like complete single forums, single topics, etc… I’m open to more shortcodes, but we should assemble and break them into template parts or functions as needed (to make overriding and customizing them easier.)

@whitehats – You can add actions to hooks in the various forum/topic/reply admin areas to assist in creating custom meta boxes.

@tooltrainer – Looks like it’s working okay to me. Tested on 3 different installations, incuding over at testbp.org.

I did put quite a few changes through in the past 10 hours, so it’s not completely impossible that something changed and is causing this. Can you try the latest revision of the plugin and see if that fixes it?

@ricardouk – Yes but the phrases are all different since it’s a plugin now, with it’s own text domain.

@christopher-jon – Fixed.

1. No. The stand-alone 1.x branch of code will still be actiely maintained as needed, and is still a great piece of software. The plugin version will (most likely) get inflated to 2.0 to give us something better to refer to it as. A new generation of bbPress doesn’t change the spirit of the project, just the ease of integration with WordPress.

2. If you deactivate the plugin, your forums will essentially be deactivated too. A dedicated maintenance mode sounds like a good idea for a plugin though.

3. I’ll take a look at this. Noticed it myself a few days ago, so it’s on the radar.

The bbPress plugin for WordPress isn’t showing up on search results because there just isn’t a lot of buzz about it yet. That will (hopefully) change after it’s released into the plugins repo and is available to a larger audience.

For topics, you’ll want to do a meta_query using ‘_bbp_forum_id’ as one of the keys. The code could probably use some cleaning up to simplify this, but that’ll come with time.

In a word, yes. In many words, it can be done but but would require some level of customization, using taxonomies and terms.

Topic tag theme compat is now in the plugin repo. It’s new and uses some weird hacks to pull off (since we need to make sure it plays nicely with existing tax queries) so be sure to play with it.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Just put some finishing touches on breadcrumbs in theme compat. All that’s left to do is add the topic-tags to theme compat, and zero out the tickets in trac. Also updated the first post of this topic with status.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

@jaja – Thanks

@christopher jon – Still haven’t decided which way to go with that yet. The need isn’t quite there yet I don’t think, but soon.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Something more official will probably come down the pipe eventually. I imagine there will be a need to convert long blog comment conversations into forum topics and replies.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

@christopher jon – Very good to hear!

I just put the final touches on theme compatibility for user profiles and topic/reply editing, so now they won’t look as wonky.

All that’s left to finish with theme compat are views, and I don’t expect them to be a problem at all.

We are now 8 tickets (and only a few more labor hours) away from putting this into WordPress Extend. Sadly it’s behind schedule (weird eh?) but wanted to keep everyone posted.

If there are any technical writers out there, the contextual help screens that WordPress has could use some bbPress specific content. You’d be doing me a nice favor to take a look at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1510 and drop some prose in there.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

@citizenkeith – bbPress was doing some wp-login.php hi-jacking, and that’s been removed now. Try the most recent revision and let me know if it’s still happening?

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

Thanks for testing that. I’ll take a look at what’s going on. I think I know wha’s up.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 14 years, 2 months ago]

@miruru – Yep, same as before.

I fixed some issues with conflicting $post globals and multiple queries and loops tonight. Was a regression from some $wp_query clean-up I did a few days ago. Apologies.

Aiming for alpha release going in WP plugin repo and available in your dashboards on Wednesday, barring any unforeseen disasters. So test!

General update – bbp-twentyten has been converted back into a child theme of twentyten. It was previously made a parent theme to make development easier, but now that theme compatibility is mostly finished, it’s no longer necessary. This cuts down on the size of the installable by almost half, avoids inadvertently forking the TwentyTen theme (we shouldn’t need to keep on top of updates) and should set a better example on how to make a compatible bbPress child theme for your existing theme.

Theme theme theme… theme.

@jaja.. – That is strange, because I’m also on MAMP on OSX.

@spiralspeaks – The permalink structure is a product of the way that WordPress handles them. Thankfully it shares this with BackPress/bbPress so it should match existing installs to new installs without skipping a beat. Custom post types, however, currently require their ‘slug’ to precede the actual post_name, which is how WordPress knows which template to serve up.
