While that’s my knee-jerk reaction to my web guys now after doing a lot of benchmarking over the weekend of other sites using buddypress vs bbpress, what about back-end control / functionality / integration of bbpress into any 3.0+ WP theme that I’m being told is “clunky” at best and will require custom code to be written to get the two to play nice?

Rich is right. It ends up being a little bit chicken/egg but it should stand on its own before we open up the possibility of converting any data over.

I beg to disagree. Based on my experience, BBpress is search engine friendly. Most of the topics in my forum are indexed by Google. Even though i don’t use the mod to rewrite the url, indexing goes well.

My URL are on format like this topic.php?id=1&page=1 and they appear on search engines.

Greetings,

I got a handful of reports that the email confirmation sent upon registering in my forum ends up in the bulk folder of their email. I wonder though what is the problem.

Is this caused by shared hosting and many domains hosted on the same ip address? I read somewhere that for an email to not considered as spam, the sending website’s ip must comply with the reverse ip lookup. But if the problem is just on some settings on my bbpress can you help me how to fix it?

thanks and best regards

I was searching in the plugin list isn’t there a plugin that will place a Maintenance screen on your forum when you are working on it.. ?

I see WordPress have a few plugin’s for this but bbPress hasn’t.

[Rich Pedley]

I lot of the administrative features aren’t active/coded yet, so I think they have a higher priority atm. (ie: Edit | Trash | Close | Sticky | Move Links).

The importer will happen, but I personally think the plugin needs to be virtually complete before it gets written. (I could of course be wrong).

[Commentguerir]

Thank’s JJJ, i have add some new tickets…

We will need quickly converter (bbpress stand-alone version –> bbpress plugin) that we can test realy the plugin on our forums, because on demo site we can’t test realy the plugin without activity (administrate topics, users, editing ..etc)

If you feel your site is successful as it is now, and your users left because of the social network type setup that Burton moved to, it would take a custom and really muted theme to make BuddyPress a good move for you. By muted I mean you would want to keep the same kind of integration you have now, turn off BuddyPress Group Forums, and maintain the central forum setup that you have now.

Hey all –

I’m posting this in here….but feel free to move to a more appropriate forum category if need be. I’m also new and haven’t read much of anything in here to get a feel for the community and all, so I apologize for the lack of foreplay.

I own http://www.easyloungin.com/ that is a (weak) WP + (strong) bb combo. By weak I mean that we could do and are planning on doing a much better job with pushing out content and reviews by a regularly contributing few dozen community members for a new WP front page. The singletrackworld.com that was #1 on the October 2010 Top 100 list is a good example of where we’d like to head. For something within the snowboard industry as a benchmark I would reference yobeat.com. A new theme that I already have on a test server is http://www.wpzoom.com/demo/yamidoo/.

And by strong I mean that I just saw that our relatively small member base of less than a couple thousand at this point had the 15th most posts of all the bbpress forums out there on the October showcase thing. Who know that snowboarders were so verbose?? Well, even though it’s only been in existence for 15 months or so, the core of the forums community members migrated over en masse at once from Burton Snowboards’ message board infamously referred to as the BMB. So the pump was more than primed in this case.

Burton lost the BMB because they didn’t engage what was the dominant message board community dating back to the late 90’s. Then in August of 2009 they just announced that they were no longer going to host a message board and instead had a new social / facebook style community. A month later they re-hooked up the forums called the BMB to their new http://burton.kontain.com/, but the exodus had already occurred.

I was a member of the BMB, and being a co-owner of a ski and snowboard shop in Lake Tahoe, I saw lots of opportunities with creating an insta-community that pumps out a ton of raw, honest, irreverent, yet extremely relevant content to the core snowboard user. So we threw together easyloungin.

But then I had lots of health issues in the last year, and really for about 8 months up until a couple ago I’ve been absent. I’ve got a solid crew of employees, of course, who work for my “day job”, but the truth is that this easyloungin has just taken a backseat up till now.

Well my team wants to slick it up like I already said, however, they’re recommending migrating to buddypress and completely leaving the bbpress environment. I get the groups and the integration that my web guys are showing me with buddypress, but to me I haven’t seen a site that still gives me the “old fashioned” message board feel and use that my community likes.

Again, I know very little of this community – and no I didn’t use the search bar – so if there are some good pre-canned answers / threads that have dealt with extremely similar instances, then please direct me there.

If you’re still reading now – and to make a long story short – then maybe you could help answer why I should resist moving to buddypress and stay with bbpress?

Is the /forums/forum/ | /forums/topic/ slug changeable via a define?

Btw, awesome job so far, JJJ!

Have to take the bbPress plugin out for a test drive soon!
