Hi

I am using phpBB 2 with 2300 users

I was okay for a while with that forum… I want to change and update… not sure I do like the phpBB3 tough, so I did a little search. Even tough I am using WP on my article side of site, I am not sure that bbPress is the best choice for me

What forum would be a good choice for

– 2300 user

– french or english

– send PM

– RSS

– Forums and sub-forums

– need to be able to “embed” a youtube video when members are posting

– Profiles

– Avatars and signatures

I use this to try to help me

hmm, ok. how about something outside bbpress that does something similar with an RSS feed?

I’m looking to pair the forums on my website with an already existing active listserv. Is there a plugin out there that allows me to send a regular summary of the discussions happening on my bbpress forum to my listserv?

Thanks!

Do you mean this plugin? “Compatible up to .80” doesn’t sound good to me…

You should be able to integrate with it not being in a sub-directory – but I found it much easier to have it in a sub.

Thank you for this info.

I really need bbPress plugin with Akismet.

Great project, have a nice job on it!!!

Many thanks.

Simple:Press is ok, but i like more your bbPress style. It’s very simple!

[John James Jacoby]

@qprints That is the plan. Anything that might add any extra bloat should be modular, so you can turn each component on or off as needed. A good example would be that there’s no need to load up bbPress User Profile code if BuddyPress is there to handle things.

@Jyri No promises about a SimplePress importer at launch, but in the spirit of owning your own data it would make sense to have that too.

[hpguru]

I suggest you Import from bbPress and other forum plugins. I use now Simple:Press, but i want use bbPress plugin in future.

Thank you for your hard work!!! We need all bbPress plugin!

I had this functionality in my phpBB installation before I switched to BBpress,. A friend of mine wrote me a piece of code which does essentially the same thing. Don’t ask me to extend it. I’m not a programmer.

What does it do:

It will automatically replace keywords and link them to a page you have specified.

Example use:

Deep linking to affiliate products or articles on your website.

How to install it:

1) Open the file “Text2Aff.php”. Specify the keywords and links.

2) Upload it the folder “text2aff” to “my-plugins” folder.

3) Log in to your admin panel and activate the plugin

Version: This is version 0.1 and has been tested with BBpress 1.02

Planned:

Would be great to have some sort of admin panel to manage the keywords and urls. Moving this into the database. You are welcome to extend it. Any comments appreciated.

Looking forward to this, one thing though, couldn’t “User’s Profiles” be a plugin? WordPress already has many user profile plugins

I love the idea of “keeping things as small and light as possible” (front page quote)

If at all possible, could the code for the “legacy support layer for existing plugins” be kept separate? and therefore easily removable

[_ck_]

Huh?? “call it something new and fork it” ??

Um, but “1.2” itself is a fork without being renamed?

Forks of the original standalone bbPress serve the community by giving them somewhere to turn to since they are being abandoned. In less than a year they will find this forum completely useless for assistance.

So I consider fork announcements a badly needed public notice/service.

Kevin feel free to duplicate this topic on my site if need be, as well as any anyone else making a fork announcement of their own.

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.

Kevinjohn

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.

[mr_pelle]

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…
