Ahh yes reading through the trac i see you have been doing a lot of work, good work and keep it up. I am wondering though why a lot of these plugins out there weren’t just built in to bbpress?

For example, pms and uploading of images. I understand that the system is to be keep as light as possible….but so is WordPress and look at the amount of features it has.

I am also wondering about the documentation and when that will be re-vamped.

P.S – the forum recount procedures are done, tested, and going through optimizing now. So one of the final bits before an official alpha on the plugin side is near completion.

Only recently has anyone stepped up to give bbPress any dedicated attention. Namely, me.

Also consider that bbPress as a project is pretty much feature frozen. There isn’t anything more to add to it. There will be a 1.1 soon with a few extras, and that’s it for the stand-alone version aside from maintenance as needed.

A lot of this is already on the forums in several places.

Hi there…

I am having some trouble with my BBPress Install located here:

http://forum.acesonline.net/

I have posted previously about this but have not received a reply w/a solution. Here are my previous posts:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-posts-page-not-found?replies=5#post-82659

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/page-cannot-be-found

Please PLEASE help? It has been going on several months without a resolution and I would really like to see this work. Any help/suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks!

~The bbpress application was available through my hosting package and so I installed from cpanel. Adding a theme was straightforward too after reading through this forum. However thereafter it got a bit weird.

I was surprised that you cannot upload or link an avatar icon but I found the plugin to do that here. I spent hours trying to follow the seemingly simply directions to get it installed but to no avail. After unzipping it, it looks like this:

<AVATAR-UPLOAD.0.8.3>

<AVATAR-UPLOAD>

bb-avatar-upload.php

identicon.php

readme.txt

unsharpmask.php

<ADDITIONAL-FILES>

avatar-upload.php

<AVATARS>

default.png

<MY-TEMPLATES>

avatar.php

With just seven files to handle, how can it be so complicated to find out where to put these files. The guides I have read seem to conflict.

I found the same thing with the PM plugin, there is not much clear guidance as to where the files actually go.

Has anyone got the avatar pic plugin working and can spare a few minutes to tell me where to put these, I would be grateful. My bbpress structure looks like this:

<BBPRESS>

<BB-ADMIN>

<AVATARS>

default.png

<BB-INCLUDES>

<BB-PLUGINS>

bb-avatar-upload.php

<BB-TEMPLATES>

<TRIPRESS> (<—theme)

<MY-LANGUAGES>

<MY-PLUGINS>

avatar-upload.php

identicon.php

unsharpmask.php

Many thanks to anyone who can take a look at this and instantly can see what I have done wrong.

In terms of plugin development and general development. I see the trac states some one has been working very hard on bbpress but that were also 10-11 months behind on a simple release?

–Wasn’t sure where this was suppose to go.

If bbPress can connect, this is GoDaddy related. I would submit a ticket to them saying the MySQL server keeps going away and what can they do to fix it.

I am hosting bbPress on my GoDaddy host, as a subfolder (and subdomain) of my root directory. I had some issues getting it installed correctly because I continually received a “Error: Could not establish a database connection.” I kept having to delete the bb-config.php file and re-start again, and eventually it worked. No idea why it didn’t before.

Now, you can access my forum at http://bbpress.journeysbysteve.com. Periodically (quite frequently) on the public side and the admin side clicking on something will result in the same database connection error screen. However, reloading the page (sometimes multiple times) resolves whatever threw up the error and things work again. Until the next error screen, that is.

Any idea what I can do to stop this error from popping up? Is it something with the software? With GoDaddy? With me?

Any help is appreciated!

Okay so my forum is androidtalk.us and I was to have a large amount of categories (one for each phone and each phone will have sub-categories), but I have noticed that a large amount of sub-categories does not play nice with the user’s scrolling experience with bbPress. Is there some sort of plugin that I could install to make it so all my sub-categories are collapsed and they can expand them to their own will?

PS: Is there a way to do this with the default theme?

[Kevin Ryman]

“Sign in with Twitter” option/plugin would be amazing.

[silver163]

Is there a plugin that would allow to integrate certain posts from WordPress and post them automatically in the forums as well?

I’ve tried to install ReCAPTCHA plugin but bbpress can not block spam registration from bad guy.

How to completely change registor.php file ?

@Willabee

Increase the forums per page option and they would show up.

@ch8rt

Sorry, but I really don’t have any idea.

[Willabee]

Are sub forums limited by 5? Since only 5 show up, perhaps make this an option too? ^^

[ch8rt]

Just tried it on my other server and it works fine there. So its something to do with my setup. Just strange that I’ve had no issues with plugins in the past?

[ch8rt]

Doesn’t appear to be a permissions thing. I’ll try a new fresh install. Thanks for everyones help so far.

[John James Jacoby]

Out of ideas honestly. If you have /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ and all the necessary files are in there and not corrupted from the download and moving around process, then it’s file permissions.

[ch8rt]

I tried that already, I’ll just sit tight. And wait.

[Rich Pedley]

Mac… hmmm. can you open up the bbpress.php file and resave it. I know it shouldn’t affect things, but I can recall having a few issues with things on that side (and ok this is a really really long longshot…)

If that doesn’t make any difference we’ll have to wait for JJJ or Gautaum to see this and reply – I’m out of ideas!

Hi,

I hope im on the correct forum? or plugin? I’d like to add conditions to the bp_forum_topics() loop that only contain posts with certain keywords. Can anyone help me with this?

I’d like to create a custom plugin that overrides the current function bp_forum_topics() that does this. Im new to wordpress development so unsure about filters and tags. Right now it returns all topics (with the exception of loose search terms, newest, popular etc). I want to be able to return topics if the posts related to that topics contains specific search terms.

Im using this solution to get global unified search.

Creating The sitewide global/unified search Page for your Buddypress Theme

All that is remaining is to get it to search forums posts. At the moment all it does is search topics.

–Mark

[ch8rt]

You scared me then. No I’m looking at the full list, I’ve testing installing a few other plugins in various ways and everything works fine with them.
