The importer has been timing out on me, importing maybe around 7 topics before redirecting itself to a wp-admin page and dying

Does anyone know if I’m doing something wrong?

P.S. Damn this plugin is awesome.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a plugin for bbpress that allows Reddit-type upvotes and downvotes?

This may be beyond the functionality of bbpress, so if someone has a recommendation for another forum template that would be great too.

Thanks!

Eric

There is a first pass and an importer, yes. Be sure to backup your existing database before using it though; remember it’s prerelease software and not guaranteed to be 100% perfect.

@VanDuch – At the moment, admins and super admins can view private and hidden forums, and those capabilities can be modified real time by other plugins to adjust who can see what. There’s a high probability that dropdown will be disabled/hidden when 2.0 launches, since there’s no real use for it in core. I knew going in that bbPress would need to support forum visibilities for BuddyPress public and private groups, but without an interface for choosing who can access them (BP groups), it’s somewhat pointless.

You’ll want to create a new page, and use the

[bbp-topic-form]

shortcode.

That would be nice, and I’ll most likely research something similar to this after 2.0. The problem is there is no way to add an additional theme path check on top of the parent theme and the child theme locations. Even then, that doesn’t make the single-, archive-, and page- templates match the HTML structure of your current theme, which means manually editing them anyways.

As annoying as it is to add theme support for bbPress and not have the files there, that’s also the easiest way to communicate ability between theme and plugin. If you add theme support for post thumbnails, and then don’t use post thumbnails in your theme, you just don’t have post thumbnails.

Thank you John for this thread.

I’m currently working on the bbpress-plugin integration for my own themes. One point which is really annoying:

If I add theme-support for bbpress, the plugin only looks for bbpress-templates inside my theme folder. If i haven’t any template files stored there, no fallback is implemented and therefore nothing is displayed.

Wouldn’t it be nice, if bbpress looks first on the child-theme for its specific template-files, second at the parent-theme and last takes the builtin template-files from bbpress-twentyten theme?

The drawback with the currently implementet solution is, that I have to copy every template-file over in my own theme. Regardless of the fact, that I only want to alter one specific template-file. Same goes for a specific css stylesheet.

I looked at the sourcecode and it seems that i can hook into the filter “bbp_get_theme_compat” and simply de/register a new ‘bbpress-style’ stylesheet. But I think I’m not the only one which is looking for a solution inside bbpress-core.

If I missed something, do not hesitate to correct me.

Thanks

Signup/start page:

Are search, login and register supposed to be on the first page of the forum (typically blog.tld/forums/ ? Neither the twentyten or the themes integration seems to give that.

Is there a widget for signup as well as login? Would be a nice way to have people sign up.

Spam?

How is spam handled? I can see no feature for blocking ip-adresses and blacklisting. Is spam handled with the Akismet plug-in I have already installed in my wordpress installation?

Documentation

Where do I find documentation for the plugin? I see it mentioned in the forum here, but have not been able to find the site.

Will there be a way to merge bbPress 2.0 with 1.0.3?

Hi there !

I already installed the latest version of BB and WP and the forum works.

But my questions is, how do include this forum as “page” or “article” in WordPress and the mainmenu ?

Sorry if im just blind, i searched the whole site and can`t find a step by step solution for it.

I tried to include it with WP plugin “include me” wich don`t seem to work.

Can someone tell me please where i can find it or give me a hint ?!

Thank you in advance, BBpress seems to be the forum for wich im searching for a long time. And sorry for english, i now it`s not that good.

i added the wordpress -bb plugin too and enabled it.

Seems everything fine, but still my question is:

how to include the forum into a page or a articel of WP like its here at your site. I don`t check it.

Greetings
