Topic: Can't install
I have uploaded all of the files to my web server and then went to my admin centre of my website, and I still didn’t see any changes. I am running the Twenty Ten WordPress Theme (default). Do you have any idea why this isn’t working?
@gswaim – I can assure you bbPress as a WordPress plugin is no ground-hog day (although that is one of my favorite Bill Murray movies.) There’s more activity in the bbPress trac over the past 2 months than there has been in the previous 18.
Evidenced by: https://trac.bbpress.org/log/
Matt and I have shared a similar interest in having forum integration inside WordPress since 2008 when I first started using WordPress and bbPress regularly. The bbPress stand-alone can be deeply integrated with great success into WordPress. bbPress.org is a great example of how they can play nice together, as are WordPress.org and WordPress.com. All of the support forums use bbPress with shared user tables and dedicated themes to make them look the part.
But, I’m with you in that it just isn’t as turn-key simple as it could and should be.
Regarding Tadlock’s plugin, he volunteered an early iteration of his code to me which helped confirm I was on the right track and give some ideas on how to do a few things I hadn’t finished yet. So his forums haven’t fizzled, they’ve been merged into bbPress so he doesn’t need to bare the burden of supporting another large library of code, and instead he can contribute back to it when he has time or needs something specific.
Regarding my job with Automattic, progress slowed because every new employee does a 3 week training session with the Happiness Engineer team. It just so happened that my 3 weeks ended as the holiday season began. Not due to lack of importance, just not-so-good timing for writing code.
John James Jacoby: With WordPress 3.1 almost in its third release candidate, we can expect it to ship really, really soon. That said, it makes sense to drop 3.0 support and focus on 3.1.
I agree, it brings in new features we can take advantage of, which cuts out half the hassle that’d be needed to get them working in the first place! — Why try and rebuild something we can already use?
Oh that (all of the above) sounds like me from the other day!
John James Jacoby: […] we’re up to 32 individual template files […]
Man alive I didn’t think we had that many?!?!?!?!?
John James Jacoby: […] to be as simple to understand as possible without tons of proprietary functions or complex logic to figure out. To do that, we’ve split some of the files into ‘parts’ that focus on specific functionalities. Some of this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense right now because of lack of documentation […]
I agree with (and like) the idea to split some of the files into ‘parts’ as you put it JJJ which has already been done, and yes the documentation might not be there right now, but I don’t think that’s the main ‘problem’ here if we can call it that?
While I don’t has access to a demo, either locally or online that’s fully up-to-date it makes it hard to comment on some of the newer stuff committed, after my PC decided it didn’t want to be a PC anymore!
John James Jacoby: We also have an empty folder for a theme named ‘bbp-default’ which will more than likely be a full-featured theme that flexes a bit more bbPress muscle.
In my eyes, it’ll be interesting to see how this will differ from ‘bbp-twentyten’ but I’m sure I’ll be proven wrong and all that! — But while Twenty Ten is still the default theme for WordPress, I think it’s fair to say ‘bbp-twentyten’ still has to flex the bbPress muscle too?
John James Jacoby: I think when bbPress has more eyes on the code and more developers start integrating forum files into their themes, we’ll see some really neat things start to happen.
Yes more eyes would go down a treat, and I do believe developers will become more interested one all the basic core is complete, and they can see the best way of theming a particular area for example?
Until then though, if we could get the Developer Chats up and running again I think it’d help a lot of people voice an opinion on certain areas, setup the equivalent of WPDEVEL but for bbPress on bbPress.org right from the start. Plus as another thought, maybe some blog posts / forum posts similar to whats done on WordPress.org for people to leave feedback and/or requests!
JJJ, you know my thoughts, I’ve probably left them all over the place but who cares … you’ve got them one way or another! Another ‘key player’ who I’d say was very interested in the bbPress Plugin is Justin Tadlock, and as a Theme Man himself, (I might be wrong) but his thoughts into the whole templates for ‘bbp-twentyten’ or indeed any theme, would be very much appreciated by all?

I like the forum function of wordpress, but am not interested in blogs from wordpress. Do I have to install wordpress in order for bbpress to work?
A few people have expressed concerns about the growing number of template files included with the bbp-twentyten theme. Not counting CSS/JS/Images, we’re up to 32 individual template files to handle forums, topics, replies, loops, forms, users, and pagination. These concerns are totally valid, but mostly unavoidable.
The goal for bbp-twentyten is for it to be as simple to understand as possible without tons of proprietary functions or complex logic to figure out. To do that, we’ve split some of the files into ‘parts’ that focus on specific functionalities. Some of this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense right now because of lack of documentation, and it uses functions that are new to WordPress as of 3.0, but I’m confident it’s the best way to go.
When I think back to my beginning days of learning WordPress, a lot of what I did was butcher Kubrick and make my own frankentheme. I’m trying to keep that in mind here. Since the first place people naturally make changes is on the front end of their site, this theme should make that really easy to do.
We also have an empty folder for a theme named ‘bbp-default’ which will more than likely be a full-featured theme that flexes a bit more bbPress muscle.
