Hello folks,

Just a quick update, I’m afraid I’ve been offline for a week due to family issues. To that end, it’ll be another week or so before I come back with an actual update. Just didn’t want people to think I’d gone AWOL.

_ck_ best of luck with your projects. No doubt we’ll all be slapping our heads at the simplicity of what you build next.

Paul, thanks for the kind words and well wishes.

Take care,

Kev

Hi

Personally i prefer the 1.0.2 version, both of them are fast and light, some say 0.9.2 is faster but even if it is faster i can´t really notice it.

with version 1.0.2 i can switch the pretty permalink function on very easily, i was unable to do that with version 0.9.2, in fact i was unable to turm it on and spent a good amount of time in the support forums trying what everyone said (multiviews, htacess etc etc etc), the permalink structure is a bonus point for me in any forum script (i dont like all those cripthgraphic urls).

visually (user side) there aren’t many differences, from the admin prespective version 0.9.2 has a “wordpress retro look” version 1.0.2 looks like wordpress 3.0 .

version 1.0.2 added a few functions/pluggins to the core that were missing or needed a pluggin in 0.9.2.

if you use wordpress, version 1.0.2 can be integrated a lot easier than 0.9.2.

There’s been some talk about forking it but in my opinion the next version (pluggin) will be what everyone wanted, better integration at several levels, no backpress dependency, bbpress admin area inside wordpress etc etc)

i tried several forum scripts and i think nobody will be angry if i write a few lines about them:

1- phpbb3 – fairly simple to setup but way too much options in the admin area, nothing difficult as it is understandable but no “pretty permalink structure”, there was a pluggin but you need to reinstall it with every new version and its a pain to even set it up.

2- SMF – simple to setup but its kind of complicated to get around all those options, to much stuff.

3- PunBB/FluxBB – Original forum script and fork – both were a breeze to install, PunBB had native permalink structure and FluxBB had a pluggin but in my opinion the community has lost his “power” forking PunBB split the community but i could be wrong.

4- Simple press – the best forum pluggin for wordpress, had most stuff i wanted (clean urls, integration with wordpress at all levels, theme, users etc) nice community forum, international language support but it was sluggish, there were a few tips on how to optimize its speed but never managed to optimize it, otherwise a great forum script for wordpress.

5- MyBB – easy to instal with a easy to understand administration area, great community, lots of pluggins, themes, international support, fast forum system, clean urls (through pluggin) etc, if the bbpress project doesnt take off in next version it willprobably be my choice.

Hope this helps you.

bbPress plugin September 15?

Now date is October 15.

[pagal]

anyone else?

[arthurfreitas]

Hello,

I followed your instructions @wblogan, and the first, second and fourth problems were resolved.

Now, the third problem persists, and some problems appeared due to CSS bbPress would need help to fix (I do not understand anything of the composition of CSS at bbPress)

Thank you.

Att,

[curtismchale]

Not sure if this will get me any closer but BuddyPress installs with no issues. I know it’s a plugin for WP but it also installs bbPress.

[pagal]

Who cares this plugin?

People always love standalone version.

It should not die.

[curtismchale]

I’m installing on a MT GS and have WordPress 3.0.1 already working. I want to install bbpress into the same DB ad the WP site. Once I upload the files and hit /forum it asks me for the DB information which I put in. It seems to connect to the DB just fine but then just gives me a white screen with no errors.

forum: http://fraservalleywhitewater.com/forum

Not supported in future…

bbPress is WordPress plugin next month…

[pagal]

Which is the right and why?

Things to know before downloading?

Pros and cons?

List of sites using bbPress 0.9?

List of using bbPress 1.0.2?

Technical differences b/w them?

Your experience for bbPress 1.02.2 or 0.9?

Your suggestion?

I hope these basic questions will help newbies.

Anyone interested in answers?

Thanks

It’s a bit hard to explain…

I suppose you may try to download bbPress trunk and then BackPress trunk from here and extract the /includes folder into /bb-includes/backpress folder…

EDIT: you’ll need this too.

[wblogan]

Man, I hate to be so ignorant, but I did not know what SVN is. So I went to Docs and did not find anything helpful, then to google and found http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/. I do not find a zip archive there so I take it that one simply chooses the file(s) one wants and does a copy/paste?

[hpguru]

Thank you!

[wblogan]

I downloaded from https://bbpress.org/download/, not from https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk. I did not know about “trunk”. If the link at the bottom of the page to zip format is what I need then I’ve got it. Thanks. I’ll give it a try.

[wblogan]

It looks like you have the integration and deep integration working, and that all you need is to mess around with the styles. I don’t know if this will help, but check out how I got it to work. I had the Twentyten sidebar working at one point but didn’t like it in bbPress. Also, I had the same problem with the footer and didn’t want to fix it at the time. But it can be fixed with styles I’m sure.

edit: there appears to be a problem with my server at the moment. Replace bb_get_footer in bbPress/theme/footer.php with

</div>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?><div id="primary" class="widget-area" role="complimentary">

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

The number of divs and placement of the call for the sidebar is what makes it work. Just play around with it until you get it to work.

[mr_pelle]

Did you download the archive from here or from the Download page on this site? The former is trunk, the latter 1.0.2…

[lmsook10]

Thanks for your reply. Yes, if I select year/month/title option, it goes to http://localhost/wordpress/forums/ (which is bbpress) page, which I wanted.

However, I have another page, like about and staff.. and they do not exist like forum, so I need them to be like default?p=123

Currently, if I click about page, it tries to go to http://localhost/wordpress/about/ and it throws Object not found! error because I do not have about page. How can I solve this problem?

Thanks,

[mr_pelle]

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-quote-feature-1

[mr_pelle]

Feature is available since [2471]. You need to have the trunk version of bbPress.

[mr_pelle]

Are you using this plugin?

[mr_pelle]

bbPress does not support it natively; I’d suggest Ajaxed Quote plugin.

[Andre]

Thanks for the update and all the work you do.

[mr_pelle]

Oh, Avatar Upload is compatible up to bbPress 0.8.2.1, I’d suggest Bavatars.

EDIT: I’ve found a fix for the bug, I’m going to upload a new version in minutes. Please note that you must regenerate your .htaccess file in order for it to work!

I am using the default WordPress and Kakumei themes at the moment. It seemed that bbPress was very sluggish, so I activated the default theme in order to check the load on the server and found that it was significantly less with the default theme than with the integrated theme. In my case it’s a personal call in favor of performance. This is a well known trade off about which there is plenty of information available.

Having an integrated and non-integrated theme created no issues of which I am aware. Unless I am forgetting something the only change to the WordPress theme was the call to the bbPress style sheet in header.php. All other changes are made to the bbPress theme. So either remove, comment out, or leave the call – I don’t think it hurts performance. I commented it out so that I can do some testing. I may be wrong about something here, but it’s all working for me at the moment.

Thanks for the update, I really appreciate that. Keep it up
