We have a bbPress docs (codex) in the works and that will be something that we can expect early this year. Right now, it is just getting all these projects rolled out. bbPress has only ‘officially’ been released for a couple of months now!

Plugins Page will be up pretty soon, so you will have it located on another server as well pretty soon!
Trent
5 minutes versus 1 hour! Bit of a difference!
Trent
So10, did you see my post (2 up from your last one)? 
Trent
Unless you use server path. Either way should work I thinks! lol
Trent
Strange….I never changed mine and don’t have any errors with alpha or beta WP 2.1……I better check it out!
Trent
The goal is to release the plugin page again maybe as early as next week. It will allow people to upload their plugins to the main depository. All stats will be kept on the plugin including downloads. The process will be creating an account on the plugins page, submitting your plugin for authorization and then an admin will OK the plugin and create your login for you.
The other goal will be to have a WP widget to show the link, stats and info on a plugin on our own sites. Pretty neat stuff! I would imagine the same could happen for bbPress forums!
It will make more sense when it is open I guess!
Trent
Why not run an absolute path?
require_once(/var/www/html/mysite_function.php);
Does that work?
If it is root bbPress folder, you could use what is in config.php
require_once( BBPATH . 'mysite_function.php' );
Should be pretty easy……?
Trent
I am sure there must be a way to make this a plugin fix. Let me think about it!
Trent
lol, that is the way it seems to work!
Trent
What happens if a user stays logged in and doesn’t ever log out. Will this do anything to the results? Even if they close down their computers and come back 2 days later? Since this isn’t on cookies, how does it know what is (since last visit) anyways?
Trent
I actually have it working with the prefix, but when I switched it over to hide the forum and the posts in that forum, it didn’t work. Any ideas?
Trent
Make it simple for now until Ardenfrost can answer! Change that line to:
<li class="view"><a href="http://navfm.org/bbpress/mlist.php">Member List</a></li>
Just add in your actual URL (hardcode it!)
Trent
I would go to front-page.php and check that the code you entered for the link is /bbpress/mlist.php and not /forum/mlist.php because you would of had to enter the link yourself.
Trent
They could yes. The plugin only uses a URL of an image to add it. Limiting the size of an image would require a function to check the image size and reject large images (if possible) or needs an entirely new plugin to deal with uploading images. Hmm
Trent
That is exactly what I was hoping for! Works great!
Thanks,
Trent
I tested this out and it works great! It seems to work the way you intended for sure! Couple of things:
1) If there are no posts, could there be a message like ” You have seen all posts since your last visit!”
2) Could there be a way to call the link with a function so you could also place it wherever you wanted?
3) Could we get a functionality if the person is a new visiter and hasn’t registered anything in the DB for their last visit time. Maybe show ‘all posts’ or a certain number anyways!
4) Could we borrow the paging functionality and (posts per page) from Ardentfrost’s Memberlist plugin (0.73c) for the views page?
5) How DB intensive is this and the online plugin (for curiousity!)
Look at me! Greedy already! Great plugin Thomas!
Thanks,
Trent
You uploaded the files to the right place! bbPress will try and see if a file is located in those 2 directories before defaulting back to the bb-templates/ directory!
As for the link to thte member list page, most people have been adding that in their ‘views’ section of front-page.php. Copy front-page.php from /bb-templates/, edit the file to include the link, re-upload into my-templates/
That way, if it doesn’t work (the way you edited it), you can delete front-page.php from my-templates and bbPress will use the original again in bb-templates! Nice eh!
Trent
I know this post is a little over do, but I will quote Matt:
“bbPress can power a forum with hundreds of thousands of posts with just a fraction of the load as WordPress.” – Matt
Trent
I would get your host to up the memory in php.ini to accomodate the script. How big is your phpbb2 database? I moved over a forum that was 1600 entries without too much hassle….(needed 16 megs in php.ini though)
Trent
Welcome Maguire as the newest (and maybe youngest) member of the bbPress community!

Take it easy on him OK….he is only 2….
Trent
Thanks for posting this! Excellent!
Trent
So10, is it possible to have an addition (or another plugin) that will mark the private posts (under latest discussion on front page) as such? That way, then people would know to be logged in to view them without getting fired off the error (not logged in page)?
Trent
This would have to work based on what is in the bbPress-Post plugin that creates threads in bbPress for every post created while the plugin is activated in WP.
Nothing that does what you want, but I have a request in for turning plugin on/off inside each WP post:
