Thanks for the forum signature plugin link. I didn’t see that in the bbPress plugin repo. (maybe it’s not there?).

The BuddyPress avatar plugin seems like a good option for providing bbPress avatar support.

[Mike1233]

i dont will use buddypress for avatar.

this one:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-local-avatar/

when you can integrate this into the profile of bbpress i like it

[pimarts]

You’re probably right about it being a bridge too far for this project, but since you asked what kinda plugins people would like to see, well.. That one for sure

There’s a forum signature one already:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbp-signature/

As for an avatar plugin:

BuddyPress as mentioned and I’ve seen some others been mentioned in these forums too, but I didn’t test those.

There’s also an UBBcode/toolbar plugin but that’s about it I think.

[Ryan Hellyer]

a avatar plugin for profile edit was also nice.

you can integrate a existing one for wordpress into bbpress profile or so?!

Do you know of any good existing ones for WordPress?

[Ryan Hellyer]

What about a plugin to add in forum signatures?

[Ryan Hellyer]

Most people seem to be moving towards using custom post-types for storing large chunks of data these days. But this data is person specific, so it might best stored as meta data connected to the users profile. I’m not sure exactly where that would be stored though.

That meta data could quite big too as you would need to store whether someone had looked at a LOT of posts in some situations. I guess you could make it conk out past a certain date though to stop the system overloading itself, or perhaps cap the meta data at a certain number of bytes perhaps …. hmmmm, maybe it is possible.

Not sure I have the time to delve into this sort of thing myself though, and since they’re new to this stuff I need to be able to hand hold them through a lot of it. If there’s an experienced bbPress coder out there willing to help, feel free to volunteer A helping hand from across the other side of the world could be a useful experience for them. Collaborating with people in other parts of the world could be a useful learning experience for them.

[pimarts]

You’re probably right, I never developed a plugin for WordPress yet, something I like to look into when I have some time again

[Ryan Hellyer]

New tables are usually a bad option. That sort of data is usually much better off stored elsewhere. It’s not too bad in a single site install, but it really screws the pooch when you move to a multisite install and you have custom tables flying all over the place making a mess.

[pimarts]

I don’t know a smart and efficient way, first thing that comes to mind is a table that has unread (or read) posts for every (logged_in) user. But yeah, that probably will be slow, and grow quickly?

Maybe JJJ has some ideas on that? I know it has been mentioned before in these forums.

As for the avatar plugin, Buddypress does this pretty well and I’m sure there are other plugins out there that do the trick.

[Mike1233]

yes a unread/new post plugin was great.

a avatar plugin for profile edit was also nice.

you can integrate a existing one for wordpress into bbpress profile or so?!

[Ryan Hellyer]

That would indeed be a very useful plugin!

Do you have any idea how you would go about building that? Off the top of my head, the only ways I can think of would be horridly inefficient and slow.

The only forum software I’ve seen do this correctly is SMF. Even phpBB and vBulletin both have crappy implementations of this functionality which don’t work very well. The SMF system is flawless and works perfectly everytime. Something similar for bbPress would be awesome.

[pimarts]

I would love a “read”/”unread”/”new posts” kinda plugin for bbpress (2.x)

[chesternerd]

For me, it ended up being that the user roles assigned in WordPress (I used a CSV import tool, then bulk modified user roles)did not get transferred to role in BBPress. All users in BBPress ended up with role of “No Role (inactive)”.. I had to have each of the 500 users manually changed to a role that had “Add” permissions.. once I did that, all good.. however, manually added new users to WordPress show in BBPress as having no role (inactive).

I’m meeting with some IT students tomorrow who will possibly be working on projects with me as part of their course. I was thinking that maybe they could make some simple widgets for the new bbPress plugin.

Are there any simple plugins/widgets that bbPress users would like built?

More information is available on WP Tavern:

And I’ve posted some of the current suggestions on Google+, none of them are bbPress related (yet):

Thanks for any ideas you guys might have

Ok, just updated ro RC2. It’s a great plugin, and it helps me a lot. There is one issue however. The feeds do not work as expected.

Also, I cannot change my password here. I had another account here and lost my password. I requested a password change email and got a message back that I am not allowed to change it. I posted on facebook and did not get a reply to that topic. I made a new account now, but this should really be fixed.

So now to the feeds. I can use feeds by adding a /feed to the end of the URLS, but this does not work as expected and not as it did in the Version 1:

When subscribing to the forum feed, I would expect that I should get a feed of the posts in the forum. Instead I get a feed of the Subforums in the forum. See here:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/ is the URL

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/feed shows me the subforums in the order of the latest entry there. I want to see all feeds however, and had that in the last version. Clicking on the link provided does not bring me to the latest post, but to the subforum, where I then have to search again for the latest post.

Now let’s say I want to subscribe to a subforum only:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/ is the url

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/feed does not show me the lower subforums or the topics. Its simply empty.

So let’s go to a forum that has no subforums, but posts in it:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/access-user-rights-etc/ is the url

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/forum/help/access-user-rights-etc/feed/ is empty too!

So as a last resort, I want to subscribe to one single topic:

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/topic/conection-issues/ is the url

http://minecraft.uncovery.net/forums/topic/conection-issues/feed/ works normally. The others do not however.

As an admin I need to know about the new topics posted and AFAIK the feeds are the best and intended way to do so. Please please fix this!

[Thomas Clausen]

Haha good point. And sorry for my ignorance

[John James Jacoby]

For what it’s worth, *not* wanting complete integration between a WordPress install and bbPress is the exception rather than the rule. It’s been a long while since someone has wanted two separate and disconnected installations.

Best of luck!

[John James Jacoby]

@chesternerd – This topic is in regards to bbPress 2.0, which is a turn-key plugin for WordPress.

@Stephanie Leary – Try r3404 – Multisite or single? Have you tried deactivating/reactivating the plugin?

[John James Jacoby]

Because bbPress 1.0 doesn’t allow for comment splitting.

If what you want to talk about doesn’t have an existing topic, make one. We’re pretty lax about things getting off topic here, but there are a few focused topics (mostly stickies) that I’m trying to keep on topic.

It goes both ways too – if you start a topic for help on something, and someone comes into it and starts asking unrelated questions, eventually there will come a point where you’ll want things to shift back on topic.

I’m seeing this as well with WP 3.2.1 and bbPress rev. 3398, downloaded tonight.

“Where can I contribute translations

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/”

I was willing to translate to Spansh, since is my mother language, and I need it. I translated a few things and realised that it didn’t work, they need to be aproved to be downloaded. Then I saw this:

Language % Translated Untranslated Waiting

Spanish (Spain) 0% 0 706 818

Almost everything has been already translated, but is not aproved. I’ve been reading and it might not be perfect, since some words are still in english (for instance Topic instead of “Hilo/Tema”), but it would be great to have access to that translation. There’ll be time for future improvements, I am the first one interested.

So, who’s in charge of it?

Thank you.

PD: I need it for this http://www.opes.es/ new website. I got a translation file but is not completed. I am also looking for a guide to develop a plugin using the rewrite module, since the dynamic tests are now created using ?ID=x …
