Vimeo one is stuck at encoding, I guess.

I did another one for the plugin branch too but Vimeo is taking ages to make it live.

LOL I beat you to it. Decided to try one file at a time and see what would happen.. and waddya know it started working! Then I just dropped EVERY file from the bbp 2010 theme, that didn’t already exist in Profits Theme, into the PT theme folder and voila – my forum is back & working beautifully.

I am absolutely shocked it was this easy!

Thanks for the insanely fast response, and keep up the great work… I’m a huge fan of the bbP plugin already and will definitely help spread the word about it however I can!

Hi Jonathan,

The bbPress plugin is still in development, and as such there isn’t a lot of documentation out in the world yet. This is partly due to some architectural changes made mid-way through development, and partly due to more time being spent in the code and not enough time spent on the bbPress.org site. That will eventually shift, and we’ll be sure to put up documentation that bbPress has needed all along.

Regarding Profits Theme, you have a few options. I think the safest will be to make a copy of your Profits Theme that you can modify yourself, without fear of any changes being lost in the event the theme is updated. (You’ll want to edit the style.css and rename your copy, so it doesn’t conflict with the original.) Then, copy the “/bbpress” folder from bbp-twentyten, and drop it in your theme. Next, copy the files prefixed with “page-” and “single-” and drop those into your theme as well. That should fix most of the missing file issues, and get you started so things are ‘functioning.’ The last thing will be for you to start hacking at your CSS to make things look the part.

Most themes should already come with a decent amount of table styling, which is what the bbp-twentyten theme uses (for the sake of being easy and that the layout of data is indeed tabular in nature.) To fill in the CSS blanks, you’l want to experiment with “/bbp-twentyten/css/bbpress.css” and see what you’re missing and what fits.

Cheers, and thanks for the kudos

Hi all… I hope this is the right place for this and that there are some resources you can share.

I’ve just discovered bbP, and ever better the bbP plugin, and am absolutely thrilled with how well it works. Seriously, AWESOME job to all involved!!

My issue now is that I’m building my site around a sophisticated theme called Profits Theme (http://profitstheme.com/demo/ for a bare-bones live demo of it). Of course this theme doesn’t know about bbP at all.

I dropped a copy of the theme into the bbP themes directory and lo & behold, it does in fact see it! But of course the various hooks are missing to actually make bbP appear inside the theme.

So in short (too late I’m looking for information on how to incorporate bbP inside an existing theme. I’m considering doing a diff on stock twenty-ten vs. bbp-twenty-ten to try and figure it out on my own but I’m hoping there are some good resources on what’s needed to make bbP work in a theme. Googling hasn’t turned up a whole lot, mostly just stuff about standalone bbP and I’m not sure how well that applies to bbP the plugin.

Thanks all!

Jonathan

Thanks JJJ!

Yes, it wasn’t covering the new branch (bbPress as WP plugin). Only trunk.

Pretty cool. Is it skipping over branches?

@lykketrollet – Your opinion matches the consensus, and it may not happen just as a result of time constraints. It seems wasteful to abandon all that time and effort though.

I just created a cool video of bbPress commits since 2005 – bbPress Visual Roadmap

Inspired by the WordPress Visual Roadmap

@rickdlewis – You’ve got a lot going on there. Between potential problems with your phpBB migration, porting your phpBB users into the WP user tables, problems with WP integration and user roles/capabilities, and problems with BuddyPress trying to take ownership of your bbPress installation, there are a ton of places where fallout can occur.

First things first, do you have direct access to your database, either through phpMyAdmin, or another SQL interface of some kind?

I am new to forum software. What I am looking for is one that has several subgroups. For example, a forum about cars that has several subgroups on tires, engines, interior, ect. Does bbPress have such a software available?

[Rick Lewis]

this seems to be an issue many have had and still having. Ran into this myself and still haven’t gotten it figured out. I am not actually blocked out of the bbpress site altogether. Not seeing many thoughts on how to fix this issue though which is scary.

Hey guys. I am having a heck of a time with getting BBpress setup and integrated with WP.

This is a MU install and both share the same database. I did pull the data into BBpress from phpbb and prior to doing the final step of WP integration things all work great. Forums , posts , topics, users all work.

I hit the wp integration using wp_ and now I am told I am not a user on the site. Can’t recover my password or anything. Can’t log in using the keymaster account I setup on install or any other account.

All the users are there in the database just fine but no one can log in. It’s like they are all invisible.

I want WP to be my main log in system not bbpress so I assumed integrating was the key to making that happen. I need the users from bbpress to be on the WP side as users and be able to log in and use both properly.

One more thing I guess to throw into the mix is, I do also use buddypress.

Looking for any help and advice.

Thanks.

I want to create a new bbpress topic loop file which only displays the recent 3 posts.

I tried placing query_posts before the main bbPress loop:

custom-loop-bbpress_topics:

<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=3'); ?>



<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>

But the page just loads indefinitely.

Any suggestions?

I will second that this thing works. Not perfect but damn near close. Thanks to the person who created it and updated it!

just gave this a shot and got a general error. Said I had a syntax error in a certain line. Can not get passed that point and haven’t a clue how to correct it.

Tried once to go back and restart the process and when it came to the same point he says now I have a duplicate. Makes sense if it had already added some info to the database.

If anything has some ideas I would appreciate the help.

Thanks.
