No tickets left!! Woo hoo!!

[mr_pelle]

From the same page where you usually create forum. Remember to select its parent forum from the dropdown menu!

[mr_pelle]

Marvellous!

[mr_pelle]

Because “Categories are forums where new topics cannot be created. Categories usually contain a group of sub-forums.”

Just quoting the paragraph under the Category checkbox in your dashboard.

Love you, _ck_! Here we’re suggesting 1.x users that they will be able to upgrade to 1.2, which is absolutely false!

Ironically I would have far more easily accepted another forum project being started by Matt and unfortunately letting bbPress slowly die over what is being done now.

Me too. I just hope, hope, hope we’ll close the missing tickets and release the next standalone version asap!

[mr_pelle]

bbPress 2.0 milestone was removed when “1.2” was set, now it is merged into Future Release…

Anyway, we’d need someone to actually take a look and submit those patches: I’ve already opened tickets about bbPress.org bugs in the past weeks but a lot of them are still there…

[mr_pelle]

But the users in Group3, the people who chose this as standalone forum software and didn’t make that decision based on WordPress – they’re being thrown out on their ear. With no warning.

That’s exactly what I was trying to say!

By the way, http://twitter.com/petemall/status/18674039981

[mr_pelle]

Lol.

[mr_pelle]

Now available for download.

[mr_pelle]

It’s probably related to this: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1310

[mr_pelle]

You would get into a redirection loop with that. Add a filter to ignore bb-login.php in the if and it should work.

[mr_pelle]

In the script you linked, usernames and passwords are stored in clear in the php file: why do such a bad thing when bbPress has a database and encrypts passwords for you? Just login using its login form and that’s it.

[mr_pelle]

You can always view page source via View > Page Source (in FF) or a similar menu in any broswer toolbar.

[mr_pelle]

Hi Joe! I’m using this plugin by Zaerl and I’m pretty happy with it!

[mr_pelle]

Just remove the pages you do not need from swirl-unknowns.php: lines 72-77. You may add pages too.

Remember, though, that you’ll NEED bb-login.php to be swirl-immune in order to actually be able to access your forum!

[mr_pelle]

Why not using .htaccess? It’s easy!

By “I want to protect my forums directory”, do you mean you want to turn all your forums private? If so, use this plugin.

[mr_pelle]

If you are mod/admin, near topic title the post count should say “x posts + y more”. Click on “more” and you’ll see the deleted posts.

Add that to your functions.php. If you do not have one, create it in your active template directory and just wrap the code above into a pair of PHP tags.

[mr_pelle]

This wouldn’t have even started if your brand new forum plugin for WordPress (for which I wish you the best of luck) were named NOT bbPress!

This community and its software have survived the last months and I think they will, if this forum won’t be flooded by newbies not knowing exactly what software they are asking questions about…

My email for further discussion: http://scr.im/mrpelle

[mr_pelle]

To turn the whole forum private: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/swirl-unknowns/

To hide single forums: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/zaerl-visibility/

P.S: why on earth do you want your site to be invisible to websearches? Are you planning something evil??

[mr_pelle]

Something else just occurred to me.

Is Matt planning to just “nuke” all the existing content on bbPress.org ?

Do we need to start archiving ?

Probably.

I just feel sorry for all the plugins developers…

EDIT:

If they’ve never used bbPress before, then they will come here not knowing it was ever standalone, and won’t have any issues installing a plugin, and turning it on.

And what about non WordPress users?

[mr_pelle]

1) None of us are worried about the name from a personal view point, it could all could be renamed Bob’s Super Duper Forum for all we care ;-] , only form the perspective of not confusing users.

Then bbPress it is.

Doesn’t it sound strange that you, JJJ, had to specify “bbPress (the plugin)” everytime not to get users confused? -_-” I’m not a native English speaker (I’m Italian), so I can tell you people are going to be confused by this!

I loved this line by KJG:

So to clarify for those who are confused:

bbPress for BP is bbPress with bPress without bPress.

But that’s not the same as just bbPress, the bbPress plugin, BP,

bPress, BuddyPress nor BackPress.

Is it any wonder, honestly, that people get confused?

Just try to think what would a newbie find googling bbPress+plugin…

Anyway, I think there are some users, like me, not really looking for a WP-integrated forum software, but just for a standalone forum: do you all really want us to “use different software instead of bbPress”? That’s odd…

[mr_pelle]

I can’t believe that… can’t believe…

[mr_pelle]

I have completed the plugin, just in case anyone cares… -_-“

[mr_pelle]

I had no answer from mdawaffe, so I began working on the plugin: are there any features you’d like to be included, besides the ones from the original plugin?
