Edit: BuddyPress also already has a built in forum.

That “built in forum” is bbPress-standalone only. BuddyPress already has the code to integrate bbPress-standalone into it, but as the bbPress-plugin is an entirely new start from scratch, that code would have to be changed if we want to itegrate bbPress-plugin into BuddyPress. That’s why I said “No BuddyPress integration yet (I don’t know if jjj’s working on that, but I don’t think so).”. jjj = John James Jacoby = lead developer of bbPress and BuddyPress.

Did it clear your confusions?

I’m working on a site and have been trying to implement bbPress into my WordPress theme with no luck. Do you think I should wait for this plugin? If I do go ahead and use bbPress, will the bbPress posts be easy to integrate into the plugin?

[alanchrishughes]

I completely disagree with you.

[Willabee]

@ alanchrishughes

Both are wrong. BuddyPress already allows ways for adressing the entire site in multiple ways. And bbPress already has a profile (which is the basic wordpress user profile). This can be heavily extended with the help of some coding/plugins (other then buddypress).

So again, there’s no real reason for them to “join” in any kind of way. But seeing as both of the plugins are from automattic, I see them intergrating them into each other in some sort of way. Just like akismet.

I have the same problem. Lots of spam registrations and it is very complicated to delete the users. After every user I deleted I land on the start page. I tried a plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/delete-all-bozos/, but it did not work.

[alanchrishughes]

Yeah my understanding was always that the two were going to have some obvious basic integration options, nothing heavy.

You could look at Buddypress as a bbPress plugin that gives you some extra profile information and a “wall.” And you could look at bbPress as a Buddypress plugin that allows you to address the entire site including people you haven’t friended.

[Rich Pedley]

But as JJJ is heavily involved in both i am sure he is going to make it as easy as possible to combine the 2.

I ran into this bug today! Just a note that favorites.php is used to create favorite pages in bbPress v1 too

@alanchrishughes

BuddyPress and bbPress are two different projects, therefore its up too the user to find/make a solution for them to work together. The small changes he’s referring too is probably stuff like letting the user links go to the buddypress profile, etc..

@Gautam

One can always try.

[alanchrishughes]

Nice. Is there a codex type deal describing what those changes are? Or do you mean a few small built in changes that you all are working on?

[John James Jacoby]

The bbPress plugin will use the existing WordPress user account, with nothing extra needed.

BuddyPress integration will be extremely easy, although BuddyPress will need a few small changes to help it along.

[alanchrishughes]

Thanks.

Will there be basic integration at least? As in one user account for both applications? Personally that is all I have been waiting on for a project. That would be enough to get the project off the ground, then extra integrated features could come further down the line through version updates.

Recently installed bbpress 1.0.2 and avatar upload 0.8.3

Followed the inst. instruction as follows :

5 Upload the files in the “additional-files” directory to the following locations.

avatars/ – directory to the location specified on the admin page, rename if neccesary

admim page: /avatars/ so I created avatars dir. on bbpress root,writable DONE

avatars/default.png – default avatar image into the directory created above.

DONE

avatar-upload.php – bbPress root directory.

MOVED bb-avatar-upload.php T ROOT DIRECTORY

my-templates/avatar.php – your my-templates/my-template-name/ (or bb-templates/kakumei/) directory.

MOVED TO bb-templates/kakumei/ DONE

Upload the plugin files.

bb-avatar-upload.php – your my-plugins/ directory (and activate it).

DONE

identicon.php – your my-plugins/ directory (it is automatically included).

EXISTS

unsharpmask.php – your my-plugins/ directory (it is automatically included).

EXISTS

---

I dont see the avatar load button on the profile.

I’m confused, is the filename bb-avatar-upload.php or avatar-upload.php ?

What am I doing wrong ? ( a novice admin )

[teos55]

Newly installed, bbpress (1.0) and bbcode buttons (0.0.9) plugin and I se the buttons in the reply box. When I press IMG I’m able to enter the image url.

When I press ‘send post’ then what I see is this :

Consequently no image displayed.

What is wrong ? Does it support bbpress 1.0.2

[citizenkeith]

The original bbVideo plugin works with bbPress 0.9:

There’s also a new plugin that works with bbPress 1.0:

Hello,

I used to have bbpress a couple of years ago and I’m thinking about using it again, especially once the bbpress plugin is finished. Before I consider bbpress again I need to know if the system allows anonymous/guest posting and also if you can make it so that all posts must be approved before they go live on the site? Again, I have used bbpress but I don’t remember if it has this functionality or not. I’m almost positive that it does not come with anonymous/guest posting (maybe there is a plugin?), but I’m thinking it might come with the approve before posting type option…

Basically I’m wanting to allow people to post discussions without registering. Since they won’t have to register, I’ll need to approve each post to ensure junk/spam isn’t being posted.

[Gautam Gupta]

@Willabee

As I said earlier, “And we’re also done with these or I’ve patches ready for these“. I’m still doing testing etc. & I’ll post the patches once I’m finished.

@alanchrishughes

If you are talking about one reply per page style threads like creativecow.com please do not, that is the most annoying forum to follow in the world.

Nothing like that. Moreover, replies per page would be an option given to the user.

Someone also mentioned the forums/forum/thread problem and I agree, I would like if possible the option to just go http://www.sitename.com/forum/threadname. Not every market or group needs that much organization. And being able to rename “forum” to something else would be nice also, I don’t know if that is already possible or not, I’ve been trying to be patient and just wait until it is done.

Yup, there would be options to edit any slug.

Are you still required to use the Twenty Ten theme? Or was that just something during the development process?

The development process is still going on, though you can port your themes very easily, you just need to add a few files.

Is this the version that is suppose to be compatible with Buddypress?

Nop, we’re focussing on the basic forum features right now. No BuddyPress integration yet (I don’t know if jjj’s working on that, but I don’t think so).

[alanchrishughes]

Is there a basic timeline eta on this project? All those ticket/trac/whatevers make no sense to me.

I really hope that there is a better answer.

Thanks.

Looks like WP’s emergency update for esc_url should also be ported to bbpress.

I am thinking we need to do a security update for 0.9 as well since many people (thousands) are locked into it.
