Try this plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/swirl-unknowns/

I would like to know how to start a custom bbPress loop to display the recent 5 posts of a certain forum (say Forum Test 1).

In WordPress I create custom loops like this:

`<?php $custom_posts = new WP_Query(); ?>

<?php $custom_posts->query(‘post_type=bbp_topic&posts_per_page=5’); ?>

<?php while ($custom_posts->have_posts()) : $custom_posts->the_post(); ?>

<div class=”block-2 border-top”>

<h2><a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>” title=”<?php printf( esc_attr__( ‘Permalink to %s’, ‘twentyten’ ), the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ ) ); ?>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<p><?php comments_number(‘0 Replies’,’1 Reply’,’% Replies’); ?>.</p>

</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>`

How to do what I mentioned above in bbPress 1.1?

I’m trying to make the access to the bbPress password protected. Is there a way to keep the forum from showing unless a user is logged in? I have a protected page that redirects to bbPress, but the actual URL to bbPress can be accessed directly.

I’m not a PHP programmer so any info would be much appreciated!

Hey! I’ve now fixed my problem

The system (Debian 6) was missing or had an old version of php5-gd installed. apt-get install php5-gd and restarting the apache2 server fixed the problem of the blank pages.

Also these code changes by _ck_ helped to improve Avatar Upload:

Delete avatar function: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-1093

Make identicon function work: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-1096

What version of bbPress are u running? This theme isn’t tested on any version early than version 1.

Also, if you try to register with the email address tt@kk, it’ll tell you that the email address is invalid. Or if you’re using an email that already exist in your database then that wont work either…

I tested everything in my site, and everything seems to be just fine.

you can test it out yourself on my site if you want…

@Willabee: thank’u very much (and sorry for my poor english)

for n° 2 (i can try to best explain): if i have a theme in my blog (no twentyten) how i can use also for plugin? is there a guide for customize? atm i can use only bbPress (Twenty Ten)

[Willabee]

@ Darkwolf.it

1. A category can’t hold topics, its meant to only be a container of sub-fora.

2. Don’t really know what you mean..

3. Making a custom theme for a plugin, seems like a long shot. Especially since it won’t intergrate into your site and just takes it over.

4. It’s in the settings (Settings > Forums).

5. None yet, but since the topics are just custom posts, you could write up a script.

6. As said many times before, it has a high priority, but don’t expect it to be done tommorow.

@ Kasparas

This topic is about all the info you’ll get. The plugin will be the same as the standard bbPress in the end.

@ ALL

I know all of you have been waiting for a good forum plugin for wordpress for a while, but don’t ask radical script changes or widgets in this stage. Just let them build a solid script and the custom stuff will come later.

Hi

I’ve just installed bbpress on a side with wordpress, and succeded!

It was a bit complicated, and i went through installation procedure twice.

I used this as a guide:

http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/23/integrating-a-bbpress-forum-with-your-self-installed-wordpress/

During the first (unsuccessfull) installation I installed bbpress in parallel to wordpress, ex:

…/wordpress

…/bbpress

I experienced some of the same symptoms as mentioned above

During the second installation (after dropping the bb_* tables using phpAdmin) i installed exactly like in the video, ie

…/wordpress/forums

And surprise!!! It works perfectly!

Im not in a position where I can use more time exploring why this and not the other works, but someone might have an explanation.

All the best and good luck

Is it possible to use bbp_topic_content/bbp_reply_content as filter hooks? i.e.

add_filter('bbp_topic_content', 'some_function', 5);

[Piya]

Aha, It’s so greats.

[Anonymous User 7670885]

Some question:

1) What is the difference between “forum” and “category”?

2) How i can use a wp theme for plugin?

3) Why don’t use a theme for plugin not related with wordpress (or simple try to use directly wp theme without customization)?

4) How i can permit guest to post?

5) Is there any way to “promote” a topic in home page (in blog)?

6) Any eta to convert from bbpress standalone?

Thanks in advance, DarkWolf

[tyskkvinna]

Sweet. That’s wonderful to hear.

[John James Jacoby]

@Ryan – That’s what I was hoping to hear

@tyskkvinna – It will rely on new individual template files to handle the bbPress specific bits, but otherwise it’s easily compatible with any theme available today.

[Ryan Gannon]

Tanks JJJ for the clarity. Since then I’ve simplified it for myself. I’m currently running it as a BuddyPress child with the necessary files copied and pasted in. It all works quite nicely together.

[tyskkvinna]

Sorry, just for clarity- does that mean that BBPress (plugin) will have a totally separate theme from the main WordPress install?

I’m presently running a Buddypress + Multisite install and I know my theme situation is more complicated than most, but I’d like to be able to carry over the Buddypress things (like the admin bar). Is this something that will be too sticky?

[Anonymous User 7670885]

I’ve make this with only one database (all 3 script in same database) but i don’t have found any way to convert a specific board (news board, atm used to publish article in home page with smf) in wordpress articles

I can try with rss but with this i can’t import also reply.

Any idea for this?

[driz]

Where i can find more details about bbpress plugin ? whats the differences between bbpress 1.0.3 and what features are in bbpress plugin ?

[QuickD]

Thanks for responding looking forward to the official wordpress.org release of this software

[Anonymous User 7670885]

Sorry for bump but is more important for me.

I’ve converted my smf to phpbb3 to bbpress and now i want try to convert a specific board (News Board: 650 Posts | 206 Topics) in WordPress article (with all replies). Is there any way to make this (is the opposite of this topic request)?

–

I’ve a valid smf+phpbb3+bbpress database in my local webserver and i can try to convert to other board/script if is necessary – i require to convert only this board in wordpress and all the rest of forum can remain intact.

Thanks in advance, DarkWolf.

@JJJ

But will the bbpress plugin work out-of-box, without customization, with P2?
