Haven’t explored the idea of include year/month/day in the topic slug, but it should be possible to do.

Right now you’ll end up with something like:

example.com/forums/forum/forum-title/

example.com/forums/topic/topic-title/

…and even…

example.com/forums/reply/reply-title/

…if you want to create a single template to show off one individual reply.

any body now about this?!

For bbPress forum topics will it be possible to store in separate directory than blog posts? In this way:

example.com/archives/2010/12/06/blog-entry-title

example.com/forums/forumname/2010/12/06/forum-topic-title

Thanks for everything you guys are doing—I also asked a question in the most recent blog entry comments as I hadn’t found this thread yet.

I actually had a slightly different experience. My permalink structure was set to custom, which was certainly not intentional. I changed it to %month%/%name% and this finally updated the link. (No effect on switching themes.)

I guess it is just a little tricky to reliably force a flush in the links.

I agree with your suggestion in the ticket that /forum/user/admin would be preferable.

[Rich Pedley]

Reset theme to twentyten, then reactivate the bbPress theme. then reset your permalinks – that should set it up – as in it did for me in 3.1 and 3.0.2

I’ve updated that ticket.

[Rich Pedley]

ahh that’s a thought, I’m running 3.1 as well… I’ll test in 3.0.2

[bhale]

Nope, latest trunk in a test WP 3.1 install on my webserver.

/user/admin works directly in the bbp-twentyten theme, but the links on topics are still off of /blog/{/user/admin} for me.

[Rich Pedley]

Is this locally? I have the same issue, but on my webhosts it works fine

eg. http://wordpress.elfden.co.uk/user/admin/

oh and relevant trac ticket: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1391

Hi Mobimean – I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. The best plugin in the world is of little use if people can’t get it to function. We’re in a position today where there are more people like us – not quite lay-people, but not programmers.

I’d hazard to guess that documentation is the next phase for bbpress. I hope so, because it does a lot of things I’d like to have on my site.

Not working out for me just yet – deactivated/activated, Saved the on Permalinks panel, and started a new topic. The link in my gravatar or user name goes to /blog/user/$username/, which is picked up by the 404 handler.

Am I supposed to be linked to a different url structure?

[scorpio0679]

Perfect. Thank you, Mr. Pelle. I’d read on certain review sites that the major drawback to bbPress was that it is afraid of spiders. This plugin basically turns it into a standard blog format, correct? And allows spiders to crawl the site as easy as a regular WP blog?

“First pass at user profiles and front-end user profile editing is now in the plugin branch. Props GautamGupta for the original patch as part of one of his Google Code-in tasks.”

So.. will this extra function be easily shut off or are we gonna have to rip it out? Or is it gonna detect wether BuddyPress is activated?

[Erlend]

That’s excellent news about W3 Total Cache, I’m very glad to hear you’re paying attention to the big cache plugins. WP+BP+BB is no joke laughing matter

Can you tell me how can i edit a .mo file in a Mac? how can i decompile the .mo file?

You can translate a template file only if the original author have included support for internationalization. If you find a .po file in the theme’s folder you can use it. If there isn’t such a file then you are forced to manually change the template files.

You must not touch them. The .mo (Machine Object) files are the “compiled” form of .po (Portable Object) files so you must not edit them but instead you must retrieve the source .po, translate it and create a .mo. On my UNIX-like machines (Mac and Debian) I use http://www.poedit.net/ which is a decent gettext editor.

Keep in mind that sometimes you will find a .pot (Portable Object Template) file instead of a .po. A .pot is a blank translation table in which no strings are translated but usually a translator take the english file and use it.

sounds good, will play later.

Just tested this with W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache, and both seem to respond really, really well to the bbPress plugin. W3 Total Cache chops off a bunch of queries and increases load times in all the same ways it does for normal WordPress blog posts and pages, and does a great job of keeping up with post_meta changes when new topics and replies happen.

If you want to optimize your bbPress plugin for WordPress installation, I’d recommend starting with either of those.

[John James Jacoby]

Just added page-bbp_no_replies.php to theme, which is a page template that shows topics without replies, similar to what we have here: https://bbpress.org/forums/view/no-replies

The bbp-twentyten theme is turning into a full fledged theme that includes some good tricks on how to manipulate forum, topic, and reply queries on the fly. I’ll be sure to include more documentation in the theme so that it’s easier to take snippets out and use them in cool ways.

i also have trouble integrating wordpress with bbpress. I wonder hough if there’s a really comprehensive guide out there on how do it. I mean a lay man’s guide for non programmers like me.

cool. Thanx for the updates. Another good things to consider BBpress.

[John James Jacoby]

First pass at user profiles and front-end user profile editing is now in the plugin branch. Props GautamGupta for the original patch as part of one of his Google Code-in tasks.

Please test this extensively as it was a huge changeset. You may need to deactivate/activate bbPress, and/or view your permalinks and save them to force a flush. This will not be required in the future.

r2688 brings about a few new $bbp variables; current_user and displayed_user. Those of you familiar with BuddyPress will understand how these work. Also the 3 template loop globals ($bbp_forum_template, $bbp_topic_template, and $bbp_reply_template) are now objects attached to the main $bbp global, renamed to forum_query, topic_query, and reply_query.
