My previous problem of users not being able to creat topics, has suddenly returned and I don’t know why. When a user is looking at the topics, they see this at the bottom:

Sorry!

You cannot create new topics at this time.

Any idea what would be causing this??

Thanks,

Jonathan

Most likely not going to happen. We have an entire forum for showing off installations. Give that a look.

If you have an integrated wordpress blog and bbpress forum I would really like to see it. I’m really interested in seeing some working examples to better see what I’m getting into. Please link to your websites below. Thanks!

That makes much more sense now! Thank you!

I think it might be better for me just to wait for the plugin version of bbpress. Can you give me a guestimate when it will come out? It would be much appreciated!

Kind of a long story, but more cliffnotes…

BuddyPress is a social networking plugin for WordPress, that actually comes bundled with bbPress inside of it to create group discussion forums.

bbPress has always been a stand-alone platform (like WordPress) but is being turned into a plugin for WordPress to make integration as seamless as possible. So right now, there are two distinctly separate versions of bbPress, stand-alone and plugin.

As far as I know there isn’t a migration script between SMF and bbPress, but I could be wrong. There most likely is not one for the bbPress plugin since it hasn’t been publicly released yet.

Documentation, is limited. There is almost none on the plugin so far, but there will be once it’s released and in the wild. We’ll put some documentation up here at bbpress.org to help answer all of these kinds of questions easier.

I’m getting confused by the buddypress and bbpress thing. Are they like apples and oranges? Or granny smith and golden delicious? Should I just wait until 1.1 comes out? When will that be?

Is there any way to migrate my SMF database to bbpress?

Is there a way to test install bbpress and then switch to it if I like it? I’m kind of a noob, so a link to anything that explains how to do that would be great. Thanks for the help, John!

Right now probably the best example of the plugin in action is over at http://testbp.org/discussion. It’s using some of the shortcodes and minimal CSS tweaks to mimic the look of the forums here at bbpress.org.

Thanks! Can you point me to any websites that are good examples of the integration between bbpress and wordpress?

The bbPress plugin will fully integrate into any existing WordPress 3.1+ installation. Since it’s using WordPress to power the database interaction, it is immediately integrated and available in any way you need it to be, depending on your level of skill, etc…

Technically WordPress doesn’t really have conventional ‘profiles’ but they do use the exact same user account for everything. In the future bbPress profiles will be merged with BuddyPress profiles, providing a seamless experience.

You’re on your own with advertisements.

Other things of note:

* The stand alone version of bbPress has been in a feature freeze for a majority of the past two years.

* The community surrounding bbPress isn’t as large as WordPress.

* The transition between versions (0.9, 1.0, and now the plugin) have caused some unrest for people passionate about the project.

So, that’s the cliff-notes of the story.

@miruru – You could filter

bbp_get_topic_last_active

and output your own time, or you could hook into

bbp_get_time_since

and have it return the second parameter that’s passed to it.

Hello,

I haven’t yet installed bbpress. I currently have SMF and am considering switching because I want to fully integrate my forum with my WordPress blog and I don’t think SMF will ever do that.

I have a few questions before I make the leap, that is, I want to make sure I can do the things I want to before I change everything.

I want to make it so that all forum topics and their subsequent posts can be easily transferred to the front page, i.e. blog. Is this possible? What about vice versa? Can blog posts be discussed in the forum section?

I want all profiles to be automatically usable for both forum and blog. Is this possible?

Is there an Advertisement mod for bbpress?

A lot of articles that are about two years old say simplepress is better than bbpress. Has bbpress really taken off in the last two years? Does it have potential to grow and get more refined?

Thanks!

Decided to stick this topic to the front so it doesn’t get lost and hopefully gets more traction. Would *love* to see this get turned into a plugin on the WordPress side to help move the data around. That would also put it one step closer to inclusion into bbPress core.

I just uploaded bbpress into my directory and got this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/88/4791888/html/danafricano/dev/bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php on line 1794

Can’t get past step one. help!
