simple used the insert code (which I was looking for but didn’t see and assumed not available) within my main template instead of using teh bbPress subtempate

[adams21]

If you changed the BBPress Forums base name to “theboards”, then make a new wordpress page with the same permalink “theboards”. So your forum will be located at mywebsite.com/theboards, regardless of if you create new forums or topics, theres nothing there. Create a page, pop in that shortcode or any of the ones at the link below and ZAP BOOM POW, go to mywebsite.com/theboards and its there! lol

INSERT INTO bb_forums (forum_id , forum_name, forum_desc, forum_parent, forum_order, topics, posts) VALUES (‘6’, ‘Bike of the Month’, ‘Each month we will showcase a different member’s bike’, ‘5’, ‘8’, ‘0’, ‘0’)

Hi,

I run old bbPress 1.02 standalone version.

How do I export the data to a new bbPress 2.0 plugin version in another domain?

Thanks,

Ravi

Hi folks,

I’ve just installed BBpress 2 on our website – http://www.gadget.ro/forums/

As you can see it looks horrible!

Isn’t there a default style or something that would make BBpress…usable?

Thanks!

[Jaja..]

I was searching for an option to set the max topic length to 70 instead of default 80.

Now I think I’ve found the code inside the (Core files) bbp-core-options.php but I can’t change the core files because it will be overwritten when bbPRess updates.

So how could I place a filter? inside my functions.php to do this?

Just like this? (copy-/paste)

function bbp_title_max_length( $default = '70' ) {

echo bbp_get_title_max_length( $default );

}

[highexistence]

I did that a couple of times to no avail. Thanks for the suggestion though.

BBpress forum topics and replies are working really great in buddypress activity stream section.

However, maybe this is just my own blog’s problem, but I found out the photos posted in bbpress are not resized to 100 px height when they are shown in buddypress activity stream, while other blog posts or comments are all resized to 100px height. I wonder if this is my site’s problem or if this is the general behavior of bbpress + buddypress implementation.

[Kasper Isager]

Sounds good Kudos to the bbPress team!

Agree on everything.

I am very interested in that ‘bbpress.php’ file, having the same issues as “elmalak”; once I go into the forum pages, or topics, everything gets lost, for example, I used a specific page template for the forum page I created with the short code, but once I go into the topics or so, it reverts back to the regular page template.

What do I put in the bbpress.php file to make it a “wrapper”?

Thanks

[lckitchen]

Hi there, first I want to say thanks for creating this, seems like a great forum plugin once you get it working.

To start, I have read the entire thread on the forum on theme compatibility; http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility and a few other treads and topics relating, unfortunately I am still having some problems.

I am including screen-shot links to be as clear as possible in hope for great support.

What I have done so far;

A.) I decided to go with the child theme option since I am using a custom theme that I am not the author of and prefer not to clutter that folder.

I copied all the files (except functions.php) that were inside “bbp-twentyten” (/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten) and put them in my “gridlocked-child” folder that I placed inside /wp-content/themes/ (next to my custom “gridlocked” theme folder)

I added the “theme name” and “template” name to the empty “style.css” in folder “gridlocked-child”. screenshot: http://grab.by/cJ7R

I put the ” add_theme_support( ‘gridlocked-child’ ); ” code in my “gridlocked” (not child) functions.php file. screenshot: http://grab.by/cJ7S

At this point, after just test creating a few forums and topics, it looks like the plugin is “functioning” like it should. I can tell that it’s using some of the styles from my main theme style.css (colors, fonts etc), the MAIN PROBLEMS that I have now is the fact that it’s not taking to my page template widths in my main theme (gridlocked), it wont use a full-page-width template (or let me pick) and the default that it is probably using, is also supposed to be full width, plus something is wrong with the padding and it snugs too tight to the page edges.

Here are some screenshots to show you what I mean;

Forum home page: http://grab.by/cJ7I

Forum named MINGLE page and test topics: http://grab.by/cJ7J

I would like the forum to look like this; http://grab.by/cJ7H

and fill up the entire width of a full page, with nice padding. I achieved that preview by adding shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in the html section of a “page” picking the “full-width-template” option in my theme.

Ok, here comes the questions:

1. Did I set everything up correctly in the directories and files?

2. What files do I need to modify to tell the bbPress forum to use a full page width template? Can I copy code from my main theme “template-full-width.php” into one or more template files inside my new child theme?

2. Do I need to add code/functions into my main theme “template-full-width.php”? and if so, what kind of code? and on a scale, how easy should these edits be? (I have asked, but I am not getting any support with this from my theme support forum, otherwise great forum but they wont help with plugins, understandable)

3. How does shortcodes work? Are those simply just for placing certain parts of your forum on different pages as previews/links but not for use throughout the FULL forum?

Do you have ANY ideas on how I can solve this issue, I feel pretty lost and I am not a developer or programmer, just a stubborn, enthusiastic designer that loosing her hair about this.

I HIGHLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS!

Thank you!

@Justin given the fact that this version of bbPress has practically nothing in common with bbPress 1.x and previous versions, you can’t really argue that 2.0 will work on high traffic sites because previous versions could. Version 1 and 2 also has completely different authors.

That said, the information anointed just shared sounds very promising indeed. While following the development of bbPress 2.0 from the start, I can safely say that performance has been one of the biggest concerns throughout. The developers were honest, and I was prepared to trade off some performance in favor of cleaner, seamless integration with WordPress.

With anointed successfully hosting 300k posts and 40k users on bbPress 2, I’m beyond pleased. Knowing it will only get better from here, the future is looking mighty bright.

[Erlend]

So both bbPress and BuddyPress are now entering a new era of WordPress integration. Both plugins have become much more standardized and seamless.

Now all you need is more eyes and idle hands on the code, documentation and forums. There’s still no word of the renewed bbPress or BuddyPress in the admin panel’s “WordPress Blog” feed. The news that was once in “Other WordPress News” has since been moved far down the list where most people won’t see it.

A mention on wordpress.org could quite realistically make hundreds of thousands of WordPress users aware of these recent monumental developments. I think these plugins represent a crucial part of WordPress’ future; you ought to let the world know what’s happening on these new fronts.

[lmburford]

As i said before, the method that Justin Mason suggested, only works if you are wanting to RE-ACTIVATE the built in BuddyPress forum, or at least thats what i have found from my experience.

And ive recently upgraded to Buddypress 1.5 and BBPress 2.0 (both updates officially came out the other day). The activity does work, however it doesnt post when u create FORUMS.

I created a New Forum and it didnt post anything to the activity stream. However, added two topics within the forums and it posted in the activity stream about both. I tried it with the “Discussion Forum” setting within Buddypress turned on and off, it worked both ways.

[Erlend]

Try follow these steps. Also a moderator should probably close this thread as it’s a bit of a double post.

[Erlend]

Just do it exactly as Justin Mason said. If you want to use bbPress 2.0, don’t install bbPress through BuddyPress.

When you’ve installed BuddyPress and started the wizard, don’t enable the bundled forum component. Instead proceed install the bbPress 2.0 plugin from the standard WP plugin installer. It should automatically recognize that BuddyPress has been installed and will tap into the activity feed.

Some of the more BP-specific features of the old forum, most notably the group integration, are not in bbPress 2 yet. I’m guessing as soon as we’ve reached feature parity between the two forums, the legacy forum component can be permanently deprecated and there would be a whole lot less confusion about this set-up.

Also, as far as import process goes, it’s definitely subject to change.

[ksmithtn]

Thanks for the info, anointed. Good to know it’s holding up.

Any advice on hosts… here’s my question/situation:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hosting

[ksmithtn]

What do you guys recommend for an affordable webhost for bbPress?

The board I’m working with is fairly high traffic, with about 1100 members at the moment, and using about 150 GB bandwidth at the moment. Server we’re on now is choking & we need to move ASAP!

Looking for inexpensive, yet reliable since it is a non-profit board.

[Steven Hodson]

I am running the current version of WordPress, v1.0.2 of bbPress and trying to import it into the latest available build of bbPress 2.0.

When selecting to begin the import this error gets thrown:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BPDB in /home/winextra/public_html/forums/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 39

Now that it the path to the installed version of the stand-alone version (1.0.2) of bbPress but for the live of me I can’t figure out how to gt past this so *any* help would be greatly appreciated

>>BBPress will publish to the activity stream

This isn’t working for me. I have it set up as “Sitewide Forums” and I set up a page /bbpress-forums/ to display the forums. How do you get bbpress to publish in the activity stream?

[3sixty]

I got it working this way, but I don’t see any forum activity in the Activity Stream.

Is there a way to set up bbPress so forum activity goes in the Activity Stream?

[Anointed]

I have not done any ‘true’ stress testing as of yet. I’m actually waiting for a stress test plugin to be built to see real stats. (Not my area of expertise)

What I can say is that my server load is staying under 2, which is where it was with vb.

I also want to know this how to fix it. Please someone give me a correct suggestion on how to fix it
