Ok, just to see if everyone’s experiencing the same behaviour or something’s “wrong” at my end:

When I click on the edit link for a topic (first post) the link returns me to the topic page. (I would have hoped to edit the topic / post) So that doesn’t seem to be working. Maybe it’s because of the time constraint that allows you to edit topics/replies? I would like to disable that time constraint anyway. Any options there?

When I click on the edit link for a reply in that topic it shows me a page with the content of the page stripped and a “Edit this entry” link, if I click on that it sends me to wp-admin (with the post open to edit). Is there no “front-end” editing of the topic/reply possible? I’d like to keep people out of the admin as much as possible.

That’s happening when I’m an admin, when I’m a subscriber I don’t even see the edit links (although I have the “edit_replies” / “edit_topics” capabilities).

I’m running bbPress 2.0 RC1 – 3363. (Just in case it matters: I started out with the beta that’s in the WordPress repository and replaced it twice with updated versions from the trac.)

Upgrading is that simple… Just delete the content of the folder and replace it with the files from Trac.

Beta 3: bbPress 2.0-beta-3b

Should I be using RC1? If so, is upgrading as easy as replacing plugin folder (i hope i hope i hope!)

[web4low]

Thanks for the update, and that too in detail

[folgerj]

Well I would be happy to test it further, the plugin says its bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress. Version 2.0-beta-3

This is a plugin straight from the wordpress site I looked over the release page but I’m not sure I wanted to take a chance killing what I had…

But I can take a look at putting the files directly onto the server which is the way we used to do it. I just haven’t done it that way since they made the auto update so damn functional…

So yes I would be happy to test it out since I don’t have much into mine as of now… I noticed it did get indexed in Google for several keywords and that made me real happy… Love that SEO…

this worked for me.

Seeing the filters in bbpress.php:

// Post type identifiers

$this->forum_post_type    = apply_filters( 'bbp_forum_post_type', 'forum'     );

$this->topic_post_type    = apply_filters( 'bbp_topic_post_type', 'topic'     );

$this->reply_post_type    = apply_filters( 'bbp_reply_post_type', 'reply'     );

I thought this could be easily modified; however, I am struggling to get my filters to work from functions.php. I’ve tried the following solutions:

add_filter( 'bbp_forum_post_type' , function($post_type) { return 'wps_' . $post_type; } );

add_filter( 'bbp_topic_post_type' , function($post_type) { return 'wps_' . $post_type; } );

add_filter( 'bbp_reply_post_type' , function($post_type) { return 'wps_' . $post_type; } );

And,

add_filter( 'bbp_forum_post_type' , 'wps_my_custom_post_type' , 1, 1 );

add_filter( 'bbp_topic_post_type' , 'wps_my_custom_post_type' , 1, 1 );

add_filter( 'bbp_reply_post_type' , 'wps_my_custom_post_type' , 1, 1 );

function wps_my_custom_post_type( $post_type ) {

//just add prefix

$prefix = 'wps_';

return $prefix . $post_type;

}

Neither seem to work, and I am not sure what I am missing.

I’ve built a very popular forum for a particular market segment using MyLittleForum and they LOVE it. However, administering and moderating it isn’t that great. So I’m wondering if a theme could be developed for bbPress to basically mimic the MyLittleForum style?

http://mylittleforum.net/forum/

If this is possible and not yet available, and anyone is interested, please let me know your willingness, timeframe and price.

Thank you!

@tofugu – Are you using Beta 3 or RC1 from the plugin branch?

@folgerj – The only donations I’m looking for are testers and contributors. For launch, there will probably be some auto-page creation to get the most common ones up and running right away.

Also, is there an easy way from within a theme (say in functions.php or via style.css) to change the default size of gravatars in the topic reply dialog? I’m assuming it would require a function as bbPress is setting it via a function, from what I was able to glean peeking at the bbPress code. Thanks.

[folgerj]

I’m using 2.0 beta 3 and it’s live on my site. http://www.jeff-foliage.com I have only had one person try it and one thing I’ve noticed (which I assume will be fixed in the final RC) is up front in your face logging in or registering of users. right now the plugin uses the subscriber permissions to be able to post to the forum but to me it seems really obscure for them to get going.

I’m also using a plugin that checks ip addresses to prevent spammers from creating accounts and I’m not sure if this will affect the final RC and creating new accounts.

I’m waiting for a RC since I don’t want to mess with manually updating the files on the server.

I hope there is a RC before fall since my site is all about fall foliage in New England and from here out until 1 Nov is my busy season..

I’ts looking good and I hope you get some good donations from this…

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply, I’ve been busy with other things, and am just now revisiting the issue.

I don’t have a /wp-content folder anywhere in my hosting directory. So I’m running bbPress as a standalone install, as I understand it.

I have edited the bb-config.php file (copied from bb-config-sample.php), and it still doesn’t work.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

[alsur]

Forgot to add that the lang constant is just as it should be for a plugin, from the general WP config.php: (define (‘WPLANG’, ‘xx_XX’);

No need to set BBLANG anywhere.

[bluke]

Im trying to install bbpress for the first time and I input the database info, save configuration and it brings me to a page with just a link that says function.fopen I click on the link then it brings me to a “404 page cannot be found” What am I doing wrong? I created a completedly new db exclusively for bb via go daddy on a windows hosted site. I trying to install bb on a subdomain, does that make a different

[mayank_sabharwal]

Hi,

I was wondering how can I enable facebook connect to post replies or create topics in my bbpress forum which is installed as a wordpress plugin on my wordpress blog. Any help or a hint in right direction will be appreciated.

[alsur]

We have done a bit of testing with this as it’s a major issue for us.

We’ve got the translators to work on beta1 and understand the logic as follows (based on function load_textdomain()):

1.- translated po (mo) files have to be named bbpress-xx_XX.mo with the xx being the language/country combination as on standart WordPress Codex (ie es_ES) for spanish / Spain

2.- function will look for the file under the plugin directory//bbp-languages and if it’s not there will look for it at the standart WP language dir, normally wp-include/languages but this may vary.

Hope this helps anyone with this issue. Perhaps a TXT file with this info could be included under the bbp-languages folder of the plugin.

[alsur]

Justa a comment but I feel it would make sense to split the “old” forums regarding bbPress with the plugin related ones having so many differences in the code.

[shubhrajoshi]

John, Thanks for the update

[Mike1233]

ok. thanks. then i use it for my blog and hope for a release soonly.

greetings

Good ideas anointed. I’ll make the auto-insertion optional.

m-jay: The code button just adds the HTML <code> tag. I haven’t done anything to prevent HTML inside the code block from being parsed or from being blocked by WordPress/bbPress. I also don’t really have any intention to do so.

Allowing <iframe> to be posted would pose a potential security risk, and the safest would perhaps use a shortcode. See if there are any plugins that give a bandcamp shortcode, there is bound to be one.

[benniebob]

Thanks for posting that. I will give it a try as soon as possible. Thanks again.

[benniebob]

Thanks, I’ll definitely look at it.

[Anointed]

You can use the beta is it is now. Upgrading will be just about the same as updating any other plugin.

[Anointed]

Nice little plugin there..

couple of suggestions.

1. only enqueue the js on forum pages

2. Don’t auto insert the bar, or at least give us the option to place it manually into our theme where we want it to show up.
