Assuming bbPress 2.0:

You can modify this file (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bbpress/tags/2.0/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/form-anonymous.php)

Modify the <input> tags such that they’re type="hidden". Also make the value="Anonymous" for name and something like value="anonymous@example.com" for email.

There is _probably_ a better way but this is the first that comes to mind for me.

Oh, and I guess I might as well throw this in here:

Judging from some posts I have seen (correct me if I am wrong), there is no built in way of having bbPress (2.0) made searchable using the standard WordPress search box and having both sets of results combined into one set, and if there is, it is buggy at best. Services such as Google Custom Search have been suggested as alternatives, but would that mean that all posts are searchable using spiders? I mean, would using a service such as Freefind give me practically accurate results, depending on when each crawl was made? Or is there a way to have relatively realtime results just using the standard WordPress search box? I’d much rather have native (even plugin based) search on my site instead of a spider based search engine, but beggars can’t be choosers and all.

I’ve given up, there’s too much to do already – I switched to another bulletin board which didn’t gave me any headaches.

AW, as i’ve jumped from punbb>phpbb2>phpbb3>bbpress1>bbpress2, I don’t think it’s worth sharing my setup – just too many variables to account for.

However, look forward to testing a punbb or phpbb version for you.

Hi Vaju,

I have now searched the internet (yes all of it I think) and it seems there is a lot of confusion about bbpress and how to change languages.

Has anyone got this to work in version 2.0 (Plugin) ?

Here is what I have tried so far :

1: mo and po files uploaded to /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages

2: Looked in and edited a lot of php files.

3. Checked nearly every file in my themes folder (Suffusion).

4. Have been in discussion with Suffusion theme forum.

None of the above has helped in any way

My wordpress is showing the correct language, which is great. A major problem is the Forum is not. I currently have the site offline for now. But it should be up again before the start of next week (well thats what I have told the users)

Thanks anointed, I might follow your approach as I want to keep the forums somewhat separated from the rest of the site. Am sure I will learn many things along the way also, as an added bonus

I’m thinking I’m pretty happy that I found bbPress. I’d appreciate someone chiming in on the following use case for bbPress. Is the following possible?

I’d like to completely prevent a user from registering in bbPress. I want the WordPress User database to control roles and capabilities inside bbPress. In fact, I don’t want users to be able to register in WordPress either. No, it won’t be any empty forum (hampers discussion) because all of the users will be added and updated via an integration between an external customer system and the WordPress user database.

Here’s the perfect scenario for our client.

In the external customer system a subset of customers, lets say 10 of them get a role and custom capability called “Review Committee”. The integration between the customer system and WordPress User database insures the 10 customers on the committee are in the WP User database with the “Review Committee” capability. In bbPress, we’d like the Review Committee to have a private discussion space/thread (sorry, I’m not familiar with the correct bbPress term), controlled by the user capability the 10 individuals have where only the 10 of them with the “Review Committee” capability can participate in their discussion, share documents, etc. For our client, subsets of their customer base like the “Review Committee” example outlined above will come and go but all will need a private space in bbPress to conduct their business.

So, will this work?

Your thoughts are very much appreciated!

DB.

I have installed bbpress 2.0 at allaboutfocus.com on the Genesis Framework. Before I knew that shortcodes existed I create a single free forum with some test posts. You can see that here: http://allaboutfocus.com/forums/forum/free-forums/#

Now I’ve discovered shortcodes. I created a new empty page called /mojo-forums. I edit that page and add a couple of simple shortcodes. When I save the new page I am instantly directed back to edit session for page http://allaboutfocus.com/forums/forum/free-forums/ . This is bizarre. That is not the page I was editing. Keep in mind this is all happening in the admin area. When I click on view to view the page /mojo-forums it shows me page /forums which has no edit options.

Also – when I post a new test post it is showing the freshest post as 4 hours ago. But when you drill down to the post it has the correct time that I saved the post.

Help.

Thanks,

Patrick

I just noticed a mistake, avatar thumbnail size is 50×50, not 15×15. Sorry for the double post.

[Andre]

Additional functionality will probably be left to plugins.

Plugins for bbPress should start appearing now that bbPress 2.0 is fully released. I expect that you’ll soon be able to add all sorts of functionality via plugins.

@quickcat – I’m not the best one to answer your question since I haven’t looked for any plugins that will work with bbPress other than BuddyPress. Others should be able to jump in and help.

Hey, I’m currently experiencing horrible avatar quality in topic view on BBPress. I’m running both the BuddyPress 1.5 and BBPress 2.0 plugins. From what I’ve seen in the files, in addition to simply right clicking on a topic-view avatar and hitting view image (Firefox), the forum is taking the standard thumbnail size avatar (which is 15×15) and enlarging it to about 79×79, resulting in a blurry mess. Is there any way to fix this, or get a better quality in-topic avatar size?

The bbPress 2x Support Plugin has been updated. Its quite a powerful little Plugin now.

For more information:

– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-vip-support-plugin/

– http://getshopped.org/getshopped-news/update-bbpress-2-0-gets-a-new-support-forum/

We’re also building another VIP Support Plugin that will allow users to post to your bbPress Support Forums from within their WordPress dashboard.

Please remember these Plugin’s do not take us away from developing the WP e-Commerce Plugin – we’re making these bbPress Plugins for our own website and we are using it ourselves to help the WP e-Commerce Plugin community. Because…

WE FIGHT FOR THE USER, and

We Heart Open Source!

Hi Moddey.

I am not sure if what I did is correct. I can’t seem to do this in all my themes. And I can’t seem to find out why.

I am also interested in finding a solution that actually works.

[ModdeyDo]

I would like to know how this is done, BBpress 2.0. I have uploaded the .mo and .po files all over the place Only thing I have not done is what Vayu said:

add_action(‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_theme_setup’);

function my_theme_setup(){

load_theme_textdomain(‘bbpress’, get_template_directory() . ‘/languages’);

}

Do I have to do that ?

TIA

Moddey

Is there any word on when bbpress will support more extensive forum like features? Ex: Image posting, youtube video posting, bbcode?

I’m sorry if this question was already covered and I missed it. Congrats on the release and the success with the plugin thus far.

I’ve been wrestling with this for ages and it seems lots of other people have too. Some clearer instructions please! The first post just doesn’t explain what to do properly.

[Per Carlen]

Yes, those are the settings I’m referring to. Not much to do there actually so I’ll add some plugins. I already have one installed for notifications.

Thank you once again Andre for answering my questions!

[QuickCat]

My easy 1 2 3 bbPress installation and already ready to use.

It’s the truth that I just activated it and it suit my WP theme already. Or just maybe I don’t know what I’m missing. Anyway I still newbie on this bbPress.
