Hello,
I’m looking for any Activation Activation PlugIn, to avoid Spam Account.
when a User register now, first he must confirm the registration, and the the Admin can Activate the Accout.
Is any such PlugIn or Feature in bbpress available ?
Thanks

The default WordPress roles/permissions are really awesome, but there’s no UI to customize them to fit your specific wants and needs. If there’s a need to change the capabilities, that can be done with relative ease with a supplemental plugin to change the defaults. bbPress is meant to be flexible, so it should adapt with whatever you throw at it too.
@JJJ
regarding the wordpress/bbpress theme compatibility… it kind of works with that code in the functions.php file, it works but only for individual pages, look forward for developments on this.
Keep up the good work guys!
I did not find any setting where I could set a required user level in order to view or post on the forum.
i think you can set up user permission for bbpress in the users section in wordpress (admin, colaborator, reader etc)
edit: JJJ explained it better
@binhdo – The login page specifically does some hi-jacking now that it shouldn’t. Regarding permissions, any registered user can view or post in the forums. Only Admins/Super Admins can create/edit/trash/delete forums. Moderators can spam/trash/edit topics and replies. New use roles can be created relatively easily, and there will be both a “Super Moderator” and a remix of the “Bozo” plugin soon after release. Some additional measures were put in place to assure that the ‘default role’ was always able to post in the forums, because in multisite installations it’s possible a registered user may not actually have a role at all.
Regarding your permalink issues earlier, last night I made sure that the WordPress rewrite rules get a hard flush when bbPress is activated, deactivated, and when the settings page is saved. In the future the bbPress ‘slugs’ will get moved to the WordPress Settings -> Permalinks page, alas at the moment there’s a core bug that doesn’t allow the settings API to insert additional fields there.
Another question would be how bbpress handles user permissions. I did not find any setting where I could set a required user level in order to view or post on the forum.
@Gautam: Does that mean I have to create a ‘page-login.php’ template which contains the login/logout form?
Sorry, but this doesn’t make any sense to me, since WordPress already comes with everything needed to handle logins etc.
binhdo: When you install bbPress, you need to set up some pages using the Page Templates. Login is one of them. We should probably change this.
slobizman: That question is like the icing on the cake, especially after all the GPL debate. Theoretically, bbPress has some theme compatibility features which would work good with most of the themes. If it doesn’t with Thesis, then probably you can go to their support forums and ask them to add bbPress support. 
I’m very excited to hear this Alpha of the plugin is days away. I have a question whose answer I hope will not spoil my excitement: do you see any reason this will not work with the Thesis theme?
Thanks @Arjun, but there is nothing wrong with permalinks enabled in my setup. I am running several installs on my local machine and everything is working well unless bbpress is enabled. I noticed that with bbpress enabled, the login link is changed to ‘…/login/’ which also results in a ‘page not found’.
@binhdo
I’ve had similiar issues on my XAMPP server like when the permalink structure is changed I get 404 error. Its just a mod rewrite error of the local server installation. Even with the kind of permalink you said, you wont be able to view a post too, you’ll be getting same error. The default permalink works fine on local server. There is nothing wrong with bbPress. 
There is absolutely nothing special about my install. It’s a clean and fresh install of WP 3.1.2 with no additional plugins enabled. Initially, I enabled permalinks, activated bbpress and created a new forum. The view-forum link points to ‘http://localhost/wptest/forums/forum/general-forum’, which then results in a ‘page not found’ error. With permalinks disabled, all these pages would show up nicely as expected.
The sever is a local Apache on Win7 x64 (uniformserver package) and appears to be running perfectly fine so far.
I like how there are two completely different opinions and perspectives immediately back-to-back.
@binhdo – Something is most likely up with your install. Any more details you an provide?
Just installed the bbPress plugin and WOW… I’m impressed! Took about 5 minutes to install, activate the TwentyTen bbPress theme and create a couple of pages with the appropriate templates.
Can’t wait to start theming sites with these new capabilities in mind! Am I correct in assuming that the forums are based upon custom post types? With that baked in core functionality there are all kinds of cool implementations I’m itching to try.
Nice work ya’ll! If there’s anything I can do to help please let me know…
Thanks ya’ll! Once the plugin version moves into alpha or beta, let me know what I can do to help improve the documentation.
That PHPdoc helps a lot Gautam. I’ve also been using the PHP xRef as well. http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/nav.html?index.html

Just installed the latest version of the plugin on my local testserver. Unfortunately, my first impression was that it did not work at all since whatever I tried, WP would always redirect anything related to bbpress to the 404 / Page not found, regardless of which theme (default TwentyTen / bbpress Theme) was activated.
I noticed that turning off WP’s rewrite engine eventually did the trick, although I would not consider this to be a real solution. Maybe there’s something wrong with the url rewriting handled by bbpress. The base path to my WP in my setup is like ‘http://localhost/wptest/’.
OK, I have gotten the redirection working by adding the following to the start of the htaccess for the forums directory before the bbpress business:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forums/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/forums/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Do you think there is anything else I’ll need to do in order to get my forums and my main site picked up by Google as being the same domain? Thanks.
