Kevin has a point about naming. bbPress as a standalone sounds fine, but using the same name for a WP plugin – which will be a totally different entity – is perhaps wrong and confusing. Don’t get me wrong, because I for one am looking forward to testing and using it.
So should we be suggesting new names for the WP plugin version?
did I miss where he says he’s fixed it? Can you quote the relevant portion?
thanks.
you may need to disable the cache for the forum – try emailing Donncha about your wp-super cache issues (I think that one is his). Or post on the WP forums, he’s pretty good at answering queries.
can a release candidate be put together for general testing?
It possibly isn’t the sort of thing that a generic plugin is best for. Far better to code for the exact requirements.
Form Builder type plugins are difficult to code, and cover the multittude of things that people may want.
So you may be better off employing someone to code what you are after.
Don’t ask what bbPress can do for you, ask what you can do for bbPress.
wtfmatt amongst his mass of text also said:
And as _ck_ said, if it becomes a plugin, then what the heck happens to the bbpress plugins? You can’t install plugins of plugins!
really? guess my bbpress akismet extras plugin wasn’t possible then. Or many of my unreleased extras plugins that I write don’t exist either. They won’t work out of the box, but you must have little faith in the project if you think that hooks won’t be included to extend it.
This thread is not doing anything for the community other than to make me think Matt was correct with his belief’s about the community here.
actually a url is more helpful for this than screenshots… So can we also have a link to your site please.
no, but I did download the trunk recently (whatever version that is)
example: http://quirm.net/forum/view.php?view=latest
Could this be the final update before serious work starts on the WP plugin?
all i did was a did a link to: view.php?view=latest
It works without anything else required.
Div’s in themes are fine, div’s in core might not be. Have to agree with you there. Div’s probably belong more in themes.
I suffer from divitus myself, having to put them in in places for other people to use… When coding just for myself I tend to be as minimalistic as possible, if the UL doesn’t need a div around it, then it doesn’t have to be there, then I won’t add it.
If you can guarantee something will always be unique then sure use id’s. However I recently tried to add to that list, found out I couldn’t (for what I was doing) so had to set up a class, and then replicate the CSS (ok I just added the class to where the id was). However if it was a class I could have just added it and used it straight away.
But yeah i should have explained in my first reply, my bad.
duplication of ID for a start…
The container having an ID is fine, but inside I’d suggest using classes.
But if all that is in that div is that ul, then the div may not be needed.
oh.
I would like to get the same avatar in bbpress as in WordPressMU. On this moment, the WordPressMU and bbpress avatars are different. Is there a plugin to get the same avatar from WordPressMU in bbpress?
hmmm.
try asking on the buddypress forums then.
I’m not familiar with the setup, but yes if you have bridged your WPMU & bbPress installations then it should be fairly easy to do.
Find where the avatar is stored in WP and then use that information on the bbPress side to extract the data and produce the code for the avatar.
why not just use gravatars?
I try them (log-in/register links) and I get url not found, but it seems like some of the old members are still logging in and PMing me…weird, huh?
No because they are already logged in…
Haven’t found a built in method.
One other problem you have is users already logged in. I’m not sure there is a way to automatically log them out.
Not sure I can easily code anything for this, but if you ever do get a solution it would be worthwhile letting other know how you managed it.
hmm, you want something like a maintenance mode.. still looking and searching to see what i can come up with.
well that’s easy then, move all the files from the subdirectory into the main one.
they should not be in my-template/businesslike/businesslike but in my-template/businesslike.
How to fix? you can move them them up a directory, then delete the contained businesslike directory.
