Topic: WordPress to BBpress
Ok. So I don’t want my wordpress anymore. However, I do want the forum. So what i need is the members from the site to be transfered to the forum with all their information intact along with the topics. I also want to move the forum from bbpress to the root. Thanks in advance.
I like the way that WordPress.org’s forums have buttons for inserting the allowed mark-ups. Did they just add those buttons themselves? Is there a plugin that does that?
While I’m at it, I’d like people to be able to insert links to images in their bbPress posts. I don’t want anyone uploading their images to my server, but if they want to put a picture up on Kodak.com or photobucket.com or wherever & link to it, I’m ok with that. Are there any plugins that do that?

I’m working on my first bbPress theme and I am going to have two columns on most pages. I will likely vary the content of this second column depend on which page you are on.
I’d like to use a separate sidebar just like WordPress so that I can create a few different files that I could load.
These sidebars need not draw any content from WordPress, I don’t need deep integration or anything. I’m just wondering what would be the best way to go about doing this.
Theme Playground’s bbPress forum has it’s sidebar added to the footer.php file, which sounds like a good idea, but seems a bit impractical for multiple sidebars.
I also found this simple sidebar plugin in the forums which adds the “bb_get_sidebar()” function to bbPress. A neat idea, but I hate to frivolously add extra plugins, especially when it is essential for the theme to work properly.
So what I have done in my theme is to simply use an include like this:
<?php include ('sidebar.php'); ?>This has been working fine for me and I don’t see any reason not to do it like this.
But does anyone else have a different method that has some advantage? Or is there plans for, or already an official function like “bb_get_sidebar()” that I am unaware of?
OK, here’s the functions.php file that I created in my theme to reproduce the drop down menu I had on my WordPress side.
Please note that this code does not attempt to reproduce all of the functionality of the WordPress wp_list_pages() function. Rather, it just tries to create the HTML needed for the drop down menu code that came with my WordPress theme to work. If you need anything more than that, feel free to modify this or strike out on your own.
Overview
Before the code, just a quick overview of how it works.
The function bb_list_pages() is a recursive function that returns a string containing the HTML for all of the pages that descend from a particular ancestor. The process is started by calling it with a parent ID of 0. The way the wp_posts table in WP is designed, this returns the highest level.
The function calls a helper function called get_pages() to retrieve the list of child pages from the database. It then loops through all of the pages returned by get_pages() & constructs the list item & anchor tags. It then calls itself to build the HTML for any descendants of the current page.
Here’s the code:

Both systems are using the same database, and they each recognize my User account information. However, when I log into one, it doesn’t log me into both.
Topic: Filtering search results
A quick suggestion to make finding things easier on large forums (i.e. WordPress.org/support), could you add date-based filtering options (i.e. options to only show posts/topics from the last 24hrs, week, month, year) so you can narrow an issue that may be recent.
Thanks
Please be patient. Waiting about an hour between bumping is a little rude for a forum full of volunteers
What are you using for the rest of your site? PHP pages, WordPress?
