I actually have no estimates right now for added features. Adam is absolutely slammed at work right now. I know he is working on a more streamlined vs. of the plugin, but do not know if it is going to include new importers or not.

*If you are a programmer, the plugin is built to be easily extended for new systems. If not, I know that he offers a paid service for custom conversions.

Beyond that I have no new news to report.

Hi,

On my website I have in root folder of the domain (www.example.com/) all html static pages. Some time ago I installed on that website the WordPress package, for blogging. As it was allowed in standard setup, WordPress files are located in http://www.example.com/wp/ folder and blog is accessible via http://www.example.com/blog/.

Recently I decided to add forum to the site, using existing WordPress installation. After bbress plugin installation, when I configure the forum, it is by default appended to blog – current WordPress starting folder and addressed as http://www.example.com/blog/forum/, which is messy and confusing.

How to setup bbpress in this environment to have forum root separated and directed to http://www.example.com/forum/ in parallel to blog http://www.example.com/blog/?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi there Anointed One. I urgently wish to convert my phpBB forum to bbpress.

Can you give me a ‘rough’ estimate on when this plugin can also do phpbb conversions?

Many thank in advance!

hi brother,

I created in /wp-content/languages/ a bbpress directory (/wp-content/languages/bbpress) and I updated bbpress-tr_TR.mo and bbpress-tr.po files to this directory and than I updated the mo and po /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages

I changed bbpress.php load_textdomain() function (line 524 ATM).

public function load_textdomain() {

// Allow locale to be filtered

$locale = apply_filters( ‘bbpress_locale’, get_locale() );

// Get mo file name

$mofile = sprintf( ‘bbpress-tr_TR.mo’, $locale );

// Setup paths to current locale file

$mofile_local = $this->lang_dir . ‘/’ . $mofile;

$mofile_global = WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/bbpress/’ . $mofile;

// Look in local /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/ folder

if ( file_exists( $mofile_local ) )

return load_textdomain( ‘bbpress-tr_TR.po’, $mofile_local );

// Look in global /wp-content/languages/ folder

elseif ( file_exists( $mofile_global ) )

return load_textdomain( ‘bbpress-tr_TR.po’, $mofile_global );

// Nothing found

return false;

}

I use bbpress plugin 2.0.1

My WP version is 3.2.1

%100 I did somethinh wrong because my english is not very good.

What can be going wrong?

Thank you.

I updated the plugin this morning but it doesn’t solve the problem here…

[Anointed]

I believe JJ fixed this issue a couple of days ago. If you check the latest plugin download from today it may solve your problem.

Hi.

I have some problems to use bbPress 2 with a full custom theme. bbPress is globally working and the forums are displaying correctly but some views don’t work properly. Example: the topic-tag view, which actually lists all topics of the forums, without taking the selected tag in account. I have the same behavior with the search results (I use the bbPress Search Widget plugin).

1. When I use the default bbPress theme, it works.

2. When I use my own custom bbPress theme, the problem happens.

3. When I override files in the default theme folder (not recommended), it works.

4. When I use the default bbPress theme as if it was a custom one (copy/paste of the folder, etc.) the problem happens too.

So it’s not related to my theme as it happens with the default theme files too, as soon as they’re not in the default folder.

What could it be related to?

Hi,

I’m trying to get new-topics-archive to show on my forum front page and to show all my forum pages in a simple left-aligned-sidebar structure, a structure that’s the opposite of the rest of the WP site(right-aligned sidebar).

I created a bbpress.php file with this structure, but it’s not being recognized. Instead, it’s defaulting to my template page.php file. I tried bbpress.php and forum.php, but neither works.

And once I get all that working, a shortcode on the forum front page should make it show the new-topics-archive, right? But that isn’t working either.

Any thoughts?

I have install wordpress and bbpress seperately.

http://www.sscn.jp

http://bbs.sscn.jp

but the database name is the same.

I find twitter tool for wp.

>Frankly it should not be that difficult to modify a number of the twitter posting plugins to work with >bbPress as bbPress uses WordPress standards 100%.

But I do not konw programmin.

I am wondering why nobody make such plugin for bbpress.

I think many bbpress users are searching for it.

[brucini]

which ignore plugin were you using?

the old CK one?

I need one too, for memembers to use. one which is compatible with latest bbpress version

anyone know?

[ledsales]

Same prob here, yet another scary bbpress bug by the look of it. Just checked our forum database and there are now hundreds of topics with their data set to blank and topic start times set to 0000-00-00 00:00:00 which is what causes the error. If you have a database backup, use it, if not, delete these topics…

I just wanted to post, and suggest or see if these options existed already.

I’d love for the widgets that come along with bbPress to have some (any) custom display features (ie. Forum List widget allowing show/hide the number of topics within, etc.)

Also, a few more widgets would be great (ie. popular topic tags, topic info)

These options might be able to be accomplished by a shortcode, but I don’t believe the current shortcodes allow any parameters such as: [bbp-topic-index number-of-topics=5 pagination=false]

Anyone know of plans for these sorts of things, or if they already exist and I’ve just overlooked them?

Thanks.

[Anointed]

Nothing specific to bbPress, however topics are nothing more than a custom post-type for WordPress.

That means if you can find a twitter plugin for WordPress where the plugin author set it up to work with custom post-types, then you are set. Frankly it should not be that difficult to modify a number of the twitter posting plugins to work with bbPress as bbPress uses WordPress standards 100%.

Thank you to wmnasef for this script!

I used the updated script provided by Abdessamad Idrissi at http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/downloads/list on my phpBB3 forum.

The conversion went smoothly and I could see the posts from my old forum appear in my bbpress forum.

However, all the posts had the authors listed as Anonymous, which means none of the users accounts were ported over.

Can someone help with this please? How did this happen and how can I fix this?

[Uefkaah]

So I am using BB Press on a Russian website and I see the BBpress.pot file in the Languages folder that has all the text that appears on my site..from the widget to the forum etc… I have tried changing the text that appears on my website, however, it still doesn’t change anything on my actual website (I need to change it into Russian).

If you look at my footer, you can see where there is a BBPress login- I have tried changing that text to Russian, but it does not work.

Any Thoughts??

in your bbpress theme file bbpress/content-single-user.php is what calls all the different sections of your forum profile, so you should be able to find the calls in there.

Incase you are having trouble locating it

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' );



// Profile details

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'details'        );



// Subscriptions

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'subscriptions'  );



// Favorite topics

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'favorites'      );



// Topics created

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'topics-created' );

I want to post to twitter as soon as I post in bbpress.

Hi all,

I have a problem. I have installed bbpress and activated, and then I am log out,

but the link is error or Not Found, like this:

http://localhost/websitename/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=53b3c5085f&redirect_to=http//localhost//websitename/websitename/?loggedout=true

The problem is my website name link is double or redundant…

I am so confuse, why my link log out is double (http://localhost/websitename/websitename)….

I tried to deactivated bbPress and it’s back to normal. hm… Why it’s happen.

Thanks for your answer.

There are bound to be other forum themes and plugins for WordPress, and they are welcomed; variety is the spice of life and all that.

It’d be great if their time was instead spent on improving bbPress, but I understand that contributing to another project outside of their control isn’t what a lot of people want to do. bbPress is the best opportunity of all the .org projects; the audience is small so the ability to shine is huge. Big fish, small pond.

I’ll add that if it’s bbPress or anything else, you’re still placing your trust in someone to do something that you aren’t. I work closely with the WordPress core team on almost a daily basis to ensure that both BuddyPress and bbPress are as secure and functional as possible, push updates out quickly when needed, and manage the support forums and sites as well.

Anointed is correct that WordPress 3.3 addresses any performance issues with permalinks in WordPress. I’d go as far as to say that you DON’T want your forum area to use a date-based structure because the date would be based on the topic creation date and not the most recent replies. You risk your topics being intermingled with your blog, which will be confusing to most users.

[jabbamonkey]

I gave up on BBPress, and just used PhpBB instead. It does everything I needed and was easy to setup. Also, BBPress has pretty poor support, and I’ve run into a ton of issues and customization difficulties with it.

[Anointed]

Do you have a way I can contact you outside these forums?

also:

If you check the bbPress trac you will see that JJ modified my topic/reply counter scripts for bbPress. While not yet in the default templates, the needed logic is now available to show how many topics and replies each user has. With that logic in place, it is not to hard to come up with a corresponding point system like you are talking about.

JJ is going to finish up the ‘recount’ portion of the script in order to give the initial counts for existing users. Once that part is finished, I will probably build something incredibly similar to what you are talking about.

[Jaja..]

Thanks for the help..

Nope totally not, just found that board system by accident..

I think bbPress is a great product and it works fine.

The few problems i face are based on WPMU install and testing it locally most of them are my own fault..

I’m trying to make a homepage (WP-website1) with only my blog onto it and a second page (WP-website2) called members with a few forums and some posts on helping very new WordPress users with just some easy steps, as i’m not a professional myself.

Nothing to difficult but the theme i’m using is this one and it’s a little bit old.

http://store.informationarchitects.net/product/ia³-template

It’s a great theme, and i only bought it because of it’s Responsive design. The double drop-down select menu’s when viewing on mobile device is just great.

After installing i started to delete almost every feature because i don’t need them, i Love to keep everything as simple and clean as possible. Less is more..

Because i’m not a Pro, and don’t know anything about PHP i just have to do everything by searching online, looking inside the WordPress Codex and copy-/pasting everything i see and what i think i can read-/understand.. (i do have HTML-/CSS knowledge)

So till now and still working on it i came up with this:

A custom made Widget that i have dropped on the homepage between the blog lay-out to let people know there is a support forum.

http://i56.tinypic.com/25gcb36.png

A tabbed forums view with different options.

http://i54.tinypic.com/2vjel3q.png

Latest topics view.

http://i52.tinypic.com/2rcydra.png

And i customized the Post Toolbar plugin from Master5o1

http://i52.tinypic.com/2zxxqbm.png

As you can see there is still lot to work on, the single pages , replies, edit pages and others.

Lucky it’s just a hobby and i have time.

** O there is one thing i would really love to see inside bbPRess and thats comments-/reply counts.

Just an option to view how many replies a user has given and maybe a user level attached to it.

Like less than 50 posts = New

50 to 100 = Average

250+ = Pro user.

That would be cool to have.

[iftomkins]

Ok! I found a solution that works for me. It’s using the bbPviews plugin, in tandem with the GD Custom Posts and Taxonomies Plugin I bought, which creates the bbPress custom fields. Here’s a tutorial I made on on my website: How to filter topics by bbpress custom topic fields.
