Hi,

I use BBpress Version 1.1-alpha-2539 (trunk version), what is great with this version two new options :

– anonymous posting

– email notification on new replay to your topic/comments

Yes this is ok, but i need some thing more : the email notification is avalaible only for registred membre, not for anonymous posting … so how can us get this option work for guest posting ?

thank’s

Hi,

Just Installed bbPress with Hebrew support (he-IL rtl). I uploaded simple theme (this is its name ‘simple’) but in the Available Themes I see and empty screen shot with Hyper text “simple”.

When I activate the new theme – the forum is without any design – only plain HTML text.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks

B-T-W : How do I add a pic to my profile in this forum?

Best Regards,

Eyal

I know there’s a few threads on WordPress integration, whereby WP and bbPress share users in the database. But I was thinking of doing it another way, prior to launching my site, and wondered if others had done it.

Basically, I would turn off registration for WordPress. No users can register using WordPress, ever. Instead, the registration process is just handled by bbPress.

What I would then need to do, is have a bbPress login in the header of my WP blog. The comments for a post in WP would be handled by bbPress. I would probably have to create a bbPress thread manually, then link to it from the WP post, or somehow integrate it into the WP post.

Is it possible to include a bbPress thread in a WP post, if you know the thread id? I would probably tie the thread id to the relevant post using a custom field in WP, then grab it in my WP template.

Does this make sense? I hope so.

Hi,

I hope you can help. I’m not great with bbPress

I have bbPress integrated with WP. I’m running WP 3.01 and bbPress 9.04. I’m using the “Root Cookie” plugin (from what I remember) to make them integrate.

I set this up a year ago so I don’t really remember what I did completely to start with.

I’m trying to pull posts out into a widget with a WP plugin but it’s not working which is why I want to upgrade.

I first of all I tried a straight upgrade to 1.0.2. The forum was accessible, but you couldn’t log in. If I visited /bb-admin I got a 404.

So I tried going from 9.0.4 to 9.0.6 to see if an incremental upgrade would work. This just completely broke and I was getting a function error.

Can anyone help me with a method to upgrade to 1.0.2 without breaking integration with WordPress?

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Greg

BBpress moderation suite doesn’t have any options to hold messages for moderation, it’s not a solution.

Wait, are you talking about on TOPIC pages or on forum/front page.

The default order in bbPress is newest topics show up at the top on forum/front page, but newest posts show up last on topic page.

Because you said “posts” I assumed you meant topic page.

Or are you saying you want to link the “last poster” to the last post in a topic? That’s already done on freshness?

Before I respond, can I give you some comments about your draft.

1. 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 and 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.
2. I agree that bbpress has been neglected over the past years, and that the website especially needs a revamp.
3. I also think that the fork needs a better theming structure, one that is easier to use and allows people with little/no knowledge to be able to edit the theme.
4. I also think that this new software should include some features that have not been included in a lot of forum softwares, but are still useful, if not esential.

1. Moderation Log: the idea behind it is that whenever a post gets deleted, who deleted it, a copy of the deleted post, and some notes on why it got deleted are recorded in a log (that is only viewable to certain people, of course). That way administrators and moderators can easily keep track of troublemakers and they have a log of all past offenses.
2. Good page structure: most people spend a minuet or two looking at a site before deciding to join it. One of the factors that influence the decision is activity. The new forum software structure should be designed to reflect the activity of the forum, and how much fun people are having. This is mostly in the themes, so that’s why the default theme should be designed to reflect that.

But anyway, now I have 3 questions:

1. have you ever been on the development side of an open source project?
2. If this fork got underway, would you be running the show, and if you did, how much would you contribute to the project programing wise?
3. How would ideas get approved?

thank you for your time

Integration with WordPress, or any other external software, will not be something we’ll be aiming for in the core.

The plan is to allow classes and functions to be overwritten/extended so that anyone that interested can write a plug-in to handle such features. That’s more to do with OOP data mapping versus hard-coding, than an attempt to so anything with WordPress specifically.

Does that mean that you have it all figured out and the purpose of this thread is to get extremely talented programmers on board

Only if they use Dreamweaver like I do.

There are many of talented people on this site whom I have come to respect; and it would be folly of me not to keep them in the loop on something like this. I’m not really sure why people think that’s Machiavellian of me…

you have no script, and (as far as I know, correct me if I’m wrong) no experience contributing/managing php scripts.

What’s PHP again?

[christofius]

that is integration. But why stop at user tables when you can do layout/content/user integration with several different softwares? I think that integration with other scripts, including wordpress, is crucial.

What will be happening is that people can extend the user or login classes so that external systems can be tied into the software (MediaWiki, Drupal, WordPress etc).

Does that mean that you have it all figured out and the purpose of this thread is to get extremely talented programmers on board. I could be wrong, but it seems like you’re approving any and all ideas that come your way. If this fork is a democracy, I want in, but count me out if your going to have complete control over it.

I am aware that Matt technically has almost complete control over wordpress, but the difference is that he has a totally awesome script, whereas you have no script, and (as far as I know, correct me if I’m wrong) no experience contributing/managing php scripts.

Here is the process for getting bbPress info to show in WordPress. You would use a similar process, in reverse, to show WordPress data in your bbPress installation.

And that’s exactly what I wrote

Try this plugin:

That’s exactly the tutorial I followed. Worked perfectly.

Thank you for stepping up and taking this on, JJJ. Thank you so much – been waiting for this for half a year!

[kevinjohngallagher]

Always happy for more Blue Sky thinking.

Widgets, and easy theming, are definitely points I would like to discuss in detail further down the line. I absolutely believe that the theme should just deal with simple presentation, and this ties in with that nicely.

Custom post types is actually very simple, and has already been factored in to a certain extent.

WordPress integration is crucial

No, it’s not

And nor is it going to be a goal of the software.

WordPress is getting it’s own forum software, and I’m sure that will work really well, and meet the needs of many.

What will be happening is that people can extend the user or login classes so that external systems can be tied into the software (MediaWiki, Drupal, WordPress etc).

[kevinjohngallagher]

Not right now.

And this version of the software is being replaced by a wordpress-plugin.

Is it possible to signup with twitter account?

Sadly, the bbPress that comes with or from BuddyPress is not the same as this bbPress. No-one knows why they kept the same name, it causes so much confusion.

It’s honestly a question for the BuddyPress forums only I’m afraid.

Use bb-style.css from this tutorial – http://www.wpwebhost.com/make-bbpress-theme-match-with-wordpress-by-deep-integration/
