I look forward to this, and future, developments. BBPress I feel does not get the credit and attention it deserves.

If you’re going to fork it, call it something new and fork it.[…]

Mmh… strange déjà-vu… -_-“

If you’d like to continue to support or contribute to your favorite existing branch of bbPress, that doesn’t require a fork […]

Are we all getting commit permissions for Christmas? How can we contribute if no one submits patches or even follows TRAC? Some tickets are 4 years old and let’s forget about bbpress.org ones…

Mr. Pelle, the admin account i used to setup bbpress is what’ i’m logging in with. after the merge. so not sure if that’s the permissions you are reffering to

thank you guys for your response

Hi

I am using bbpress for our non-profit. I set up two forums: one for the board and one for other stakeholders.

I’m trying to get the board to use bbpress rather than long email chains. A big stumbling block is knowing when a new topic is posted.

I implemented post_notification which works fine to send an email for replies.

Any idea how I could modify this to send a notice to a defined group of users or users with a certain role, any time a new topic is posted in a given forum?

I need to specify users / roles / forums as I suspect the stakeholders at large will be annoyed to get notification emails.

Thanks

Lori

Thank you. I will check the links. I understand this is not the thread for this type of question. FYI – I have been patiently waiting for big things to happen with bbPress.

[John James Jacoby]

Update: Just emptied out http://bbdevel.wordpress.com and moved everything to http://bbpdevel.wordpress.com. No sense in having two development blogs. The prior should eventually be deleted.

Re: Legacy plugins – It’s low on the list, but I think it’s important there be /some/ level of support. Would really be a shame to lose 100% of that time and effort.

@tonicarr – Nothing will be changing soon, so no worry there. Eventually the goal is to give bbPress users the option of migrating their existing installations into something more tightly integrated with WordPress as a plugin, instead of as a bridged (deeply integrated) stand-alone installation.

[John James Jacoby]

A few thoughts.

If you’re going to fork it, call it something new and fork it. Sever the ties so that discussion can start someplace else and these forums can continue to be used for bbPress. It’s in bad taste to rally the troops on this website for something that will only further fragment the already small community we have.

If you’d like to continue to support or contribute to your favorite existing branch of bbPress, that doesn’t require a fork; it requires ownership and dedication like _ck_ has for 0.9.

@tonicarr This is not really the thread for these questions; also it’s been asked already.

In quick summary though:

Yes it will replace the bbPress you are currently running (that would be the “importer” JJJ mentioned. One for standalone bbPress and one for BuddyPress forum component I imagine)

I fully agree with Lykketrollet: Don’t waste your time trying to maintain backwards compatibility with the old bbPress plugins. What you need to worry about is the plugin developers, not the plugins themselves, which will be in need of updates and free support regardless.

[kevinjohngallagher]

I think you’ve hit a key point christofius:

Some of the proposed plugins should be integrated in the core. Report user, user roles, quotes, SEO, stickies, improved moderation, Pivate Messages: all of that I consider essential to a good forum script

Many would agree, many wouldn’t.

Thats one of the goals, to ensure that you only had what was essential to run a forum.

I’ve been lucky enough to be on the internet for almost 20 years (and on “forums” since the bulletin-board/guestbook era), and i’ve never once used “private messaging”. That is, unless [you] call E-mail private messaging.

…while there is nothing wrong with making them into a plugin, it would be much more convenient for new users not to have to install a bunch of stuff to get those features.

The same could be said for people uninstalling them.

My viewpoint is this, and I may be totally wrong, but if you include ‘core plugins’ turned off by default, users get a light-weight active and working forum right out of the box, and all they have to click is “activate” to get the desire feature working.

This is how WordPress does it just now with the likes of Akismet, and there are very few complaints that I know of.

Anything that anyone would like to share?

[maxumimike]

“Visit the intended URL of the BBPress site” is pretty self explanatory.

All you have to do is navigate to the URL where you put the files. It’s not rocket science.

You put the files in, for example, your “/forum” directory.

Navigate to “http://www.mysite.com/forum”

I really can’t think of how that could ever be put simpler.

[MathiasB]

Just go to the directory where you want to install bbPress…

eg. http://www.denbeke.be/bbPress/

Our programmer merged BB press and wordpress, now when i log into bbpress admin area using the admin account, in the dashboard

i just see ,forums, topics, posts, users. I don’t see setup or plugins for example.

please help, thank u in advance

[tonicarr]

I have not been following the progress of this new update to bbPress. Will the plugin replace the bbpress I am currently running? Which I think is a stand alone along side wordpress. Where can I go for more information? I am thrilled that there is energy being put into bbPress. Thank you Thank you. One of my biggest issues is getting emails when someone posts.

[cengelstad]

I also have the same problem, and the installation documentation is not detailed enough.

“Step 4.Visit the intended URL of the bbPress site” – does that mean the page on my WordPress site that I intend to use the bbPress forum or do I need to create some other page somewhere (if so, where?)?

And where is this mysterious istaller I was expecting to see in step 5: “5.You will be greeted with the bbPress installer”

Thanks!!

[Ricardo]

Thanks for the update John!

[MathiasB]

Hi, is there a way to make a post in html.

Eg. Copy from WordPress and paste it in bbPress.

Cheers, DKB

[Mark McWilliams]

Thanks for the update JJJ, sounds like a few lines of code still need to be written, you are the man for the job though! If you need anything tested, let me know and I’ll do my best to *try* and break anything!

[mr_pelle]

Take a look at these topics: https://bbpress.org/forums/search.php?q=0.9+to+1.0

Some people do not raccommend doing this, since it would break most of your plugins. Others say you can, with no problems at all.

Anyway, those threads are way old…

[mr_pelle]

bbPress is not a WP plugin, so there will be absoultely nothing on the WP dashboard.

You’ve to browse to your-forum-name/bb-admin/
