Stagger Lee,

The plugins you mention, Jetpack, that’s maintained by Automattic, Advanced TinyMCE is just a standard WordPress plugin that happens to be maintained by a core developer as his own project aside from core, Pods is a 3rd party plugin also not associated with WordPress, your last example, Shortcake is a featured plugin that is being proposed to be merged into core, this plugin has been bought to the core team to be considered for merging into core, the WordPress core team has not gone out and found plugins to maintain or merged.

There’s details of WordPress’ featured plugins available:

Feature Plugin Chat on July 14

Feature Plugins Tracking

We are happy to do the same with bbPress, if a plugin developer comes to us with a plugin that they would like to see merged in bbPress we are more than happy to look into doing just that, the same way WordPress does. 🙂

Here is a list in my opinion should have under Author names at least one nam of bbPress core developers. Not of things on list has anything to do with me personally, just using other popular forum scripts as reference.

Sorry, I disagree with this, if a plugin author or the community has a problem with a plugin we’ll happily help out where we can when asked. As to maintaining that list of plugins, speaking for myself, I have other projects that I am interested in and being asked to maintain a bunch of other plugins is not something I am interested in doing. 🙂

As the bbPress slogan goes “Forums made the WordPress way”, we try and do everything the same way WordPress does, we maintain the core software and make it as open as possible for developers to extend with plugins and themes, but because we are not as big as WordPress, we don’t have the same amount of developers developing for bbPress.

[Stephen Edgar]

Also to note, until bbPress 2.5 pt_BR is 100% translated the only translations delivered via WordPress Update will be bbPress 2.4, language packs are only built once they are complete at 100%

This link shows the bbPress language packs available:
https://api.wordpress.org/translations/plugins/1.0/?slug=bbpress&version=2.5

These need to be translated to 100% to get these via WordPress Update
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/pt-br/default

If you can help translate those strings then you’ll get bbPress 2.5 translations, you can also get in contact with your locale team via https://br.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

A year or two ago we had lots of translation issues with bbPress, to fix this I got en_AU (English Australian) of the ground and translated all the things, WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress and help out on the #polyglots team https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

The string I translated to test was the Pending string replaced with stickfinger for en_AU:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/en-au/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=196793&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=9251229

I then downloaded the .po and .mo files (at the bottom of that screen you can export these) and replaced my en_AU bbpress-en_AU.mo/bbpress-en_AU.po files in /wp-content/languages/plugins

What happens if you export the .po/.mo files from /bbpress/2.5.x/pt-br/default?

Also make sure your files are named bbpress-pt_BR.mo and bbpress-pt_BR.po

[Stagger Lee]

Thanks Rob.

I have seen this list but it is not the same as Feature plugins are for WordPress core. Those plugins in WP are maintained and developed by same WP core guys. (Jetpack, Advanced TinyMce, Pods, Shortcake, etc….etc…)

In an way you behind bbPress are one of them. But I im asking to twist a logic a bit. Be a “WordPress”, not “feature plugin”.

Take some of those plugis from your list and give them to bbPress core developers. Or ask original developers to sign some of you on list of plugin Authors. For those developers who dont have much free time you have some plugins literally made from one-two PHP files.

People should never be afraid to update bbPress because of few files in one plugin.
I am never afraid Pods, Jetpack will stop working with new WordPress version. Never.

My point is, for everything in WordPress self there is a replacement. Something doesnt work, go ahead and install another similar plugin and style it. If it doesnt work for bbPress, well, cannot explain what it means.

Hi Stephen

Thanks for your input here.:-)

I guess i did not understand you very well 🙁
You telling that in the en_US.po file it works, am i correct?

I´ve just download a fresh copy of the po file at: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/pt-br/default

and that is the header:

there is no Kewyword list
I´ve read something regarding this issue also on buddypress foruns. It seems that the strings after the “_x(….” caracter is the problem on some languages.

[David13_13]

Hello again.

I just installed a new website and the latest version of WordPress and BBpress and the last code that worked well in that website is no working here. The email notification works well, but still is checked the log field…

Any suggestion please?

I guess that the code of BBpress has changed in recent versions…

Thanks in advance

[Robkk]

Thanks for debugging and creating this ticket, sorry for not responding earlier though.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2829

I will contact the devs about this to see what they think.

[SethTurin]

These are very helpful! One thing I’m unclear on – and forgive my wordpress newness here – how are these scripts being run? Are they just uploaded to the server and navigated to in the browser? Or is it getting run through the wordpress architecture somehow?

[Robkk]

Maybe the URL of the registration page can be used as the URI.

Yes use that page you created with the bbPress registration form shortcode. You can also use the default WordPress registration page which would be.

http://yoursite.com/open/wp-login.php?action=register

Same for the Lost Password page, you can use the page you placed the bbPress lost password shortcode or the default lost password form by WordPress.

9 years. Man. Can you stop rely on third party developers and plugins. They are simply said a mess.
This one from this trac is not the only one lacking in forum core.

First 5 years is an entirely different bbPress from what it is now, but the last 4 it picked up more and more and now it seems to be finished from what I can tell.

Make a list of “must” things in the core. Otherways you lose time coding, relatively nobody use bbPress.

There is this, that lists possible considerable plugin functionality that might be in the core. I need to clean it up later though and move some information I placed their earlier to some other guide I created. There are also probably more functionality I recommended to be adopted that I haven’t yet listed in the page yet.

Feature Plugins Tracking

Share tasks between bbPress core developers and give each of them, or few of them, adopt a fetured plugin. it doesnt have to be in the core. Just some security it will follow all changes in the bbPress core and adapt fast to changes, continue to work with all new bbPress version.

Plugin functionality adoption happens for some plugins like bbPress threaded replies which made its way to core, and also topic/forum subscriptions. Other plugins need to rely on the plugin author to keep up, if there is an issue or no updates the community will usually fork/adopt the plugin. I might help though, I thought about it.

I repeat, third party (plugins) community for bbPress is a complete mess and cannot be trusted. How do you expect people can sleep well with 5-15 thousands of registered Users on forum and one important third party plugin has a developer writing one comment per year on support forum. Or per 3 months, one per month. All the same.

Hopefully when I get around to writing the Plugin developer section in the codex, that it will help most of the code quality/security side of things. But right now most devs will have to use the WordPress codex to gain their knowledge of this (I am mostly gonna base the information I learn from this).

Support Forum activity has many factors to it. The dev could be busy or just stopped supporting the plugin.

Also would you mind sending me list of plugins that you may not trust through my email, not to call anyone out in the forum. And see if I can take a look at why you may be thinking that.

I just changed the https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev pending string to stickfinger and it works as expected 😉

What happens if you resave your permalinks? Go to Settings > Permalinks

A more common and now default of WordPress is to use the Post name format, also known as pretty permalinks, as such the following would be what you’d see for the “maine” forum

WordPress is very successful, why not clone this success on bbPress ?

At the end you boycott yourself. Coding and losing time for nothing. Compared to success of WordPress self, and compared to other popular forum scripts, of course.

BTW the theme is http://themeforest.net/item/saladmag-responsive-wordpress-magazine-theme/7049401
and unfortunately their support appears to be obsolete.

Thanks for any help!

[Robkk]

Its some CSS in your theme something is hiding the .reply class probably in your WordPress comments and it is affecting bbPress replies.

Adding this CSS should fix it.

#bbpress-forums .reply {

One more question. Can bbpress work on intranets? If they can, is there something in the bbpress plugin code that is conflicting probably with the wordpress code on the firehost server? I’m running wordpress 4.2.2 and bbpress 2.5.8

[saintjaved]

Thanks Robkk. Unfortunately, It’s on a corporate intranet and the server we are using is firehost. You wouldn’t be able to log in from where you are and the content is confidential. BBPress would have been good for us regarding creating a forum for the site support. BBPress works well on my localhost on my mac laptop but on the intranet bbpress shuts off wordpress dashboard entirely. I don’t know why. Any more developments I would let you know.

[Celtic]

I used your link and installed the plugin and it doesn’t work i am using theme evolve and wordpress 4.2.2 … i thought that maybe it isn’t updated with the current version of wordpress and now it is not showing on the list so i can uninstall it so I manually deleted in in the plugin folder…. any ideas…. it will not let me give you the website link here so I am going to add the page I am working on in my profile info

[stickFinger]

Hi all
After a lot of digging i´ve found that the only way to translate the Topic Status dropdown strings is via the “bbpress/includes/topics/functions.php”, around line 1963, we have:

function bbp_get_topic_statuses() {
	return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_statuses', array(
		bbp_get_public_status_id()  => _x( 'Aberto',    'Open the topic',        'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_closed_status_id()  => _x( 'Fechado',  'Close the topic',       'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_spam_status_id()    => _x( 'Spam',    'Spam the topic',        'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_trash_status_id()   => _x( 'lixeira',   'Trash the topic',       'bbpress' ),
		bbp_get_pending_status_id() => _x( 'Pendente', 'Mark topic as pending', 'bbpress' ),

i´ve also downloaded the last development version of pt_BR.po from https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev but despite of strings being there they don´t get translated.
Opening the po with a text editor i´ve noticed the absense of the “X-Poedit-KeywordsList: ” which i guess should be something like that:

"X-Poedit-KeywordsList: __;_e;__ngettext:1,2;_n:1,2;__ngettext_noop:1,2;"
"_n_noop:1,2;_c,_nc:4c,1,2;_x:1,2c;_ex:1,2c;_nx:4c,1,2;_nx_noop:4c,1,2\n"

For now i´ll try to add the keywordlist by hand at the top of my pt_BR file. Hope that fixes te issues specially with the _x:1,2c keyword

What could be wrong with the glotpress generator?
Thanks

I have searched and put code together and tested. Now whenever a new post is created in WordPress a new topic is created in a specific sub-forum on my bbPress. This is working great. It brings over the tags and everything.

The one problem I have is that the publish_post action fires every time a post is set to published. So if a post gets set back to draft or pending review, and then published again, another forum topic is created. There are problaby 2097324907629306 ways this can be solved. I am only coming up with some pretty stupid ones I think, so I was hoping someone might have a good idea here.

Here is the code for your functions.php:

function post_published_create_topic( $ID, $post ) {
    $author = $post->post_author;
    $name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author );
    $title = $post->post_title;
    $permalink = get_permalink( $ID );
    $excerpt = $post->post_excerpt;
    $subject = sprintf( '%s: %s', $name, $title );
    $message = sprintf ('[b]%s[/b]' . "\n" . 'By %s' . "\n\n" . '[i]%s[/i]' . "\n\n" . 'View: %s' . "\n\n", $title, $name, $excerpt, $permalink );
    $tags = wp_get_post_tags( $ID, array( 'fields' => 'names' ) );

    $new_post = array(
        'post_title'    => $subject,
        'post_content'  => $message,
        'post_parent' => 691,
        'post_status'   => 'publish',
        'post_type' => 'topic'
    );
    $topic_meta = array(
    'forum_id'       => $new_post['post_parent']
    );
    $topic_id = bbp_insert_topic($new_post, $topic_meta);
    $term_taxonomy_ids = wp_set_object_terms( $topic_id, $tags, 'topic-tag' );
}
add_action( 'publish_post', 'post_published_create_topic', 10, 2 );

Take that code and put it in your themes functions.php (hopefully you are using a child theme.) The 691 is my sub-forums ID, replace that with the right ID for yours. The format of the post and its content is done on the line that starts “$message = sprintf”.

Now I just need to get it to stop creating a new post every time the same post is published. So far my ideas have been something like matching up the topics title with a string comparison, but that seems a bit heavy. There should be a simpler way and I am just not seeing it right now.

[Robkk]

It should work? What WordPress and bbPress version are you using?

You can create me an Admin account so I can see if I can find an issue, you can email me the login details to my email listed here.
