mr_pelle: How can we contribute if no one submits patches […]

You just answered your own question!

And as for #538 believe it or not JJJ has submitted a patch, some testing probably wouldn’t go wrong with that, then maybe someone with commit access can add it to trunk!

I followed all the steps to integrate bbpress with wordpress, so far everything is fine, except I can be auto logged into bbpress after log in to wordpress, vise versa.

So my installation is like this:

– wp: http://www.example.com/blog/

– bpp: http://www.example.com/forum/

I saw some solved situations here but all of them install bpp in a sub directory of wp. Will that be a problem?

Thanks!

Hi JJJ,

As always, I appreciate you stopping by

I have not at any time here solicited people to leave bbPress, and 99% of my conversations about this topic have taken place away from this forum, and for the most part, over the last 2-2.5 months.

I refute entirely the statement that I’m attempting to “fragment the already small community” or do anything in “bad taste”. While I’m a vocal son-of-a-gun at times, I think my record for attempting to support bbPress, this forum, and it’s community over the last 2 years will stand up to some scrutiny.

In fact, my initial post was simply a link to another website on which the discussion could take place. I had, and have, no intention of parking the discussion here. I did take time to reply to people as a courtesy. To me, it’s just being mannerly, but I apologise if it’s been wrongly viewed in a different way.

I never intended this thread to cause any issues, I included a link to a website for people that might be interested, and I’ve only replied to folks who have commented here of their own volition (never having sought their comments in these forums). I’ve tried to be courteous and succinct, though I have failings at both, directly e-mailing people whose contact details have been available so that I could keep the chatter here down.

Could I ask if a moderator would be as kind as to lock this thread?

Thank you.

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

I totally agree with you bro

What’s your WordPress plug-in that’s not a continuation of the bbPress0.9/1/ branches going to be called?

[MathiasB]

it’s this plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mini-stats/

There is no backup support/plugin in bbPress. You may try this (first hit on Google for “bbPress backup”).

Birthday imho is the easiest thing to cheat on, anyway if you want to add/remove usermeta, add these lines to your functions.php (located in your template folder).

[mr_pelle]

bbPress uses Gravatar for users avatars. You should upload a picture there.

[mr_pelle]

I’ve never tried that plugin, sorry…

[maxumimike]

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

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…

Hello forum members,

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)

For more information check these links:

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/

[mzadarm]

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!!
