I’ve just made a post toolbar that works with bbPress 2.0, and extends a bit of kses in WP (adds <span style=""> and image posting support).

Link to zip: http://dump.master5o1.com/files/bbpress-post-toolbar.zip

The toolbar looks like this with the Link panel open:

(the Bold button in the screenshot has the :hover css applied)

Under help, one can reach an ‘About bbPress Post Toolbar’ panel which states the version of the and that I made it (but no link).

The extending of kses to allow <span style=””> in the allowable tags is necessary for the font sizing, colouring, underlining, strike-through, and text alignment.

The options page in WP Admin has the following:

Use customised smilies?

Yes No (default)

Allow embedding of Youtube videos?

Yes (default) No

Allow text-alignment buttons?

Yes No(default)

Allow images to be posted?

Yes No(default)

I have requested plugin hosting for WordPress Plugin Directory and I’m waiting for it to be approved, etc.

In the mean time, any comments and feedback from testing, etc would be help.

Yes, what is the migration path from bbPress 0.9.x installs to bbPress 2?

Hi, I am new to bbpress and relatively new to WordPress. I haveBBPress 1.0.3 installed and integrated with WordPress 3.1.2 but what now?! I know it’s integrated as I can add a user in bbpress and it appears in the Users area of WordPress as I believe it is meant to. The only thing is that when I look at my bbpress install here:

http://andrewsoames.com/footballdads/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-1.0.3/bbpress/

I don’t know what to do next!

All I see is the following with the bbpress logo:

“Just another bbPress community

Welcome, admin | Admin | Log Out

Search:

Hot Tags”

If I click on Admin I just get a blank page come up – there must be something wrong with the confihuration but I’ve no idea where to start – any ideas anyone? I should add that I’ve had a good look at previous threads and googled this but had no luck so far…Help!

Thanks in advance…

Where are they located? Can anyone view profiles?

I’m not sure if there is a bug in my bbPress installation (running bbPress 2.0 beta 2) or it is not included.

If not, what’s the easiest way of adding a tag cloud for topics?

[CoryOBrien]

I was able to successfully get bbPress installed: http://brewreview.com/forums but it’s pulling in the sidebar from my blog. Inside of a topic, it then pushes the sidebar down below the forum: http://brewreview.com/forum/general/beer-talk. Is there an easy way to just remove the sidebar?

[svedman]

The live example looks fine to you, or the code in a newer version than bbPress 2.0-beta-3 looks fine to you?

The live example clearly says:

“Dette forumet inneholder 0 topics og 0 replies.”

“topics” and “replies” are English words and should be translatable. They aren’t.

[Sofian J. Anom]

Anyone know how to make the forum tab on the navigation is highlighted when the forum page (including topics) displayed? I’ve tried both themes bp-default and Twenty Ten but it did not happen.

Ah, thanks, I don’t use comments and assumed that avatars was a BBPress addition because there is no option to upload one in WordPress User Profile.

I also got rid of the “You may use…” with a list of html tags messages, that are more untidy than useful, which I could probably have also turned off somewhere as well then ?!

[Erlend]

From where I’m standing, your opinion seems swayed in our favor already Anyhow, stay swayable!

I of course agree, there is an abundance of fun ideas when threaded comments are added to the mix.

I can run another cool use-case by you: I’ve always had big plans for DJPaul’s Achievements plugin. The one feature keeping me from implementing it in my community site is the lack of a visible in-forum reward, as we rely on BP’s forums much more so than the activity stream. With comments, the Achievements plugin could post awarded achievements as comments to the “instigating” post.

As for nested comments in the average forum, I actually see it as a positive evolution. Yes, the goal is linear conversation, but anyone who’s spent some time on a forum knows that linearity is a fragile thing. Over the years, moderators have been given some good tools to stand their ground in the name of good practice, such as splitting, merging, and deleting of individual posts. I believe (single-level) nested comments are a fine addition to these tools, especially if moderators were given the ability to convert posts into comments, and vice versa.

Lastly, though maybe you’ll think me odd for wanting to make this separation, I for one commonly make two-sided posts: “A personal gesture” + “Down to business”. In the case of this thread, I for one would not have minded entering my first paragraph as a mere comment to your post, and then make the rest of this post the actual on-topic reply. Actually, I think there’s a way of going about that without it seeming weird. I’ll try mock something up.

Edit:

Alright, here’s a mockup of my idea:

OK, whew… not something on my end that managed to corrupt all those files. Had me worried since nobody else seemed to mention them!

This is a known issue, and one we’ll be fixing in the coming weeks.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 2.0 comes with support for user profiles, yes.

[John James Jacoby]

So… A few thoughts on this as of today. My opinion on this is probably easily swayed, but it’s what I think now so I’m gonna roll with it…

So topics and replies, are already hierarchical to each other; replies are children of their topic. Forums by their nature are meant to be focused topics of discussion. It’s possible that topics can grow very large in size, but the intent is to keep the conversation fairly linear. Any forking/branching/nesting of conversations most likely belongs in a separate topic.

But…

Since we’re using custom post types, we still have the whole comments API just laying around WordPress that we’re not using. If, you /really/ wanted to have threaded discussion, you could add comments to the post_type_supports for replies, and build a theme to make it work. This would allow all kinds of neat extra usages for comments that are semi-conventional to blog posts. Use comments as reply feedback, use them as “Like” comments, use them for hidden moderator notes, etc…

Lots of fun ideas come to mind. Comments were also the natural choice FOR replies, just like taxonomies were the natural choice for Forums/Categories, but since they all lack revisions, attachments, taxonomies, etc, I opted to use another post type for them and leave comments for plugin authors and developers to play around with.

The ‘native’ text is an artifact from setting the eol-style. Not supposed to be there, and I’ll likely put out a Beta 3c to remove them. Super weird.

I’ll look into the pagination of favorites. Last I checked it was working just fine.

[John James Jacoby]

@zhonghao – What version of WordPress are you using? Sounds like you’re using 3.0.

is_post_type_archive()

was introduced in 3.1, so it should be available.

That error won’t happen as a result of a BuddyPress conflict. Matter of fact, the two plugins should play nicely together. They have been both activated and running at testbp.org for some time now, with no issues.

[tooltrainer]

Got this from a site member…

“i have 2 pages of “favorites” and when i tried to go to the 2nd page of my favorites after clicking on my username, it redirects me to the home page”

Is this a bug? Has it been fixed?

Also what about my earlier report of the word “native” being at the top of many of the b3 files? What’s that about?

Thanks,

Jonathan

I believe that BuddyPress has it’s own version of bbPress within itself. Have you tried un-installing the bbPress, then a re-install through the BuddyPress admin menu option?

Just trying to help if I can. Though I’m having fits getting my own configuration worked out, I thought I’d pitch in my 2 cents.

[jdowen]

Does bbpress have user profiles? If so, where are they? And if not, is there a plugin to create them?

Thanks In Advance

James

Great to see BBPress as a WordPress Plug-in. It was a real pain trying to integrate WordPress and BBPress user accounts so I gave up.

It would be nice if there was a ‘Show Avatars’ option in settings. I wouldn’t use an external avatar site and, since WordPress users don’t have avatars, it would be good not to show empty boxes everywhere.

Hi,

I have a local version of bbpress running perfectly. However when I uploaded it to my live site it all sort of works except for the when you login to the bb-admin area.

When you login, that page gets stuck in a redirect loop between the login page and the admin page, and you can never access the admin area.

However on my local site you can login perfectly.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I’ve tried a different browser just incase it’s a cookies/session issue but its not al. Also the data base has been updated with what I think area all the correct urls. Is there something special in the db I’m missing?

Cheers.

Going to http://www.laughsonthenet.com/forums (with an s) will take you to your forum. You can change it at /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress.

Hi there,

I would like to know if there is a way to import a forum into a page instead of a post? For example, there is a poll plugin for WordPress that allows you to place a poll in the page using [poll id=”3″] tags.

Is this at all possible with bbPress? I’m using the latest WordPress as well as the latest bbPress plugin.

I feel that if this feature does not already exist, it should be implemented in the next release (Please)

Regards,
