Topic: bbPress – No Admin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/
—-
Prevent all users except super-admins from creating bbPress content when inside wp-admin.
This plugin has no UI.
I’m surprised this hasn’t been asked sooner, but it’s a great bunch of questions with some good points. I’ll do my best to address them, and feel free to keep the conversation going if there are more questions.
I’m going to start off with a clarifying and important point that’s often difficult to distinguish if you’re not involved directly in the WordPress community. My full-time job is at a company called Automattic, most popularly known for operating WordPress.com. That takes up a typical 40 hour work-week.
My contributions to open-source projects like WordPress, BuddyPress, bbPress, are done in my free-time. I believe enough in the platforms to actively continue their development.
So the answer to your question; “WordPress” doesn’t pay anyone a salary.
Yes, I am currently leading the development of both BuddyPress and bbPress. My responsibilities include setting the roadmaps, shepherding development, and making sure the .org sites stay updated and operational. Yes, there’s a lot of responsibility there, and I appreciate that you think I’m doing a good job.
Consider also that bbPress has always been a bit of a hobby project. As a sister project to WordPress, and by nature of it being a support forum to the flagship project, it’s never been the focal point but is still critically important, since millions of people interact with it without ever knowing what it is.
BuddyPress and bbPress were both around for a number of years before I worked my way up to leading both projects. BuddyPress has two other consistent core committers that are doing a great job, and bbPress is the best opportunity for any developer to step in and get core-commit to help determine the direction of the project. It’s very much a meritocracy, so anyone that comes along and starts contributing will get noticed for it.
Even though I tend to do the majority of code commits, rest assured that there are plenty more eyes on the code than just mine and neither project is in any danger of losing momentum or being phased out. Automattic as a company loves both BuddyPress and bbPress, and the WordPress Foundation and community are both committed to supporting them for far into the future.
After a couple of weeks testing bbpress and several other forum solutions, we are really hesitating in running bbpress as our forum.
From what we see the bbpress plugin, while not as feature-rich as stand-alone bulletin boards like vbulletin, phpbb or xenForo, does one thing outstandingly well, which is the integration into wordpress.
For that reason alone, it would be worth giving it a try.
Unfortunately – and here comes our biggest issue – it looks like the bbpress plugin is currently not given full (or any) attention from WordPress.
My question is very simple:
How many developers / coders are writing code of the bbpress plugin currently ?
Is @johnjamesjacoby the only one?
Is there anybody else “officially assigned/paid by wordpress” to work on the bbpress plugin and documentation or/and support ?
John is doing an excellent job, on all his help he gives especially in the bbpress forum. But since the community is small and John is also working on the buddypress project, we are really worried to put our eggs in a “one-man-show plugin” basket.
Please tell me that I got this wrong and that there are at least several people currently working on the bbpress plugin and documentation.
Would be great if anybody could shed some light on this.
Ok, hum, all this plugin arent bbpress 2.0 compatible, but bbpress 1.0 compatible.
for bbpress login you can just put a widget in your sidebar, it’s on your wordpress admin bar
exactly same for last replies, last forum, …
bbpress 2.0 isn’t the same thing that bbpress 1.0
bbPress 2.0 doesnt require integration, it is a plugin to wordpress.
good luck
Does anyone know of a plugin or similar for a universal search across the BuddyPress and bbPress portions of my site?
I have been looking around and found some hacks for WordPress / BuddyPress, but nothing for BuddyPress / bbPress.
pimarts: I really need your help in understanding if there is a documentation on how you did it or if you could provide me more assistance directly, that would be great as well.
kangenguru: When I did it using your technique, I had issues
the BBPress plugin did not have the bb-config.php, so I used the bb-config that is within the buddypress. Hence, I couldnt get the bb-press 2.0 to work. But again when I did it with what is built into buddypress itself, all the files and folders showed up like they were missing.I am not saying that integrating buddyPress+BBPress is bad, but all I am saying is that I did not know how to work with this issue (could be the lack of knowledge). If anyone could help, that would be awesome.
PS: please do not ask me to google for the documents… I have googled for the past 3 weeks and found several solutions and most of them did not work in my situation. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
as you like. my blogs and forums are all working. no need to be offended! i just found that after reading this thread *most* people’s questions came from not reading the sticky all the way through. and you are correct: the sticky doesn’t mention merging files. i read that elsewhere (i’ll try and recall where). does it matter? regardless: what i outlined works.
as for duplicates, they override eachother. there’s duplication, overriding and modifying all over the place in WordPress and bbPress. this is nothing new. all that matters is precedence at the end of the day.
nitpicking is pointless and unhelpful. take it or leave it. don’t really care. all i’m interested in is helping people sort this out. my way works. end of story. if you can indeed write a new plugin, then by all means give ‘er!
yours might be the halcyon we’ve all been hoping for! that’s the beauty of all this stuff! 
WR!
i got mine working almost without effort. i literally read the sticky at the top of this thread and it worked.
a couple of things to note, that people are stumbling over:
1) READ THE STICKY. don’t peruse it. READ IT.
2) the sticky actually says the same thing twice. COPY the CONTENTS of wp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentyten to YOUR theme’s folder, whether it be a child theme or not. in my case the path was wp-contentthemesSuperTurboTheme.
3) it’ll ask it you want to overwrite ‘style.css’. don’t. just let the OS rename it to ‘style(2).css’.
4) ditto for the ‘functions.php’ file. it should, temporarily, be ‘functions(2).php.
5) MERGE the two functions.php files. i just copy/pasted everything from ‘functions(2).php’ to the bottom of the ‘functions.php’ file. just like in the sticky. i didn’t merge the ‘style.css’ and ‘style(2).css’ files. but i DID make sure the ‘Tags:’ line in my ‘style.css’ file included ‘bbPress’ as the first item, just to be sure. it was an old requirement that doesn’t seem to have been deprecated anywhere and i’m a belt-n-suspenders boy…
6) at the very top of your newly expanded ‘functions.php’ file, add the line ‘add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );’ to the very top. just like in the sticky. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SIMILAR LINE IN the bbPress’ functions.php file, YOUR functions.php file MUST HAVE THIS LINE as well. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MERGED.
7) reload.
don’t get clever. don’t reinvent. don’t assume anything. just follow the steps and you should be fine.
your only challenge now is figuring out how to do your CSS. the ‘style.css’ will control the WordPress portion of the site. it CAN handle the bbPress styling as well, but i prefer to leave it to bbPress.css (located in the ‘css’ folder you copied over) to handle the forum styles. its a bit of a headache sorting out the bevy of tags that get generates, but hey, it works. and i DO mean headache.
not to beat a dead horse, but the real challenge IS sorting out the secondary CSS. i recommend Firebug to help you drill down the the styles. the byzantine class structure can make your head spin. try using the elements that are relatively easy to spot. and REMEMBER THIS: NOT ALL CLASSES ARE IN THE STYLESHEET. this can really toss a wrench into things. they are added for future slice-n-dice, but seems overkill to me. low-order CSS has proved easier for me. i can’t foresee a reason to slice the site up so finely…but it’s futureproofed to the wheel-wells!
good luck. hope this was useful. i apologize if i missed anything. i tried to be thorough AND simple.
feel free to correct me if i stepped wrong somewhere. this is what worked to me.
WR!
