You can’t really blame them, since bbPress is pretty much abandoned right now with no serious wide-spread usage.

What makes you think it’s been abandoned?

The Fins must think bbPress is notable:

Ah poor bbPress, you are branded as “Seemingly non-notable software” by someone seemingly non-knowledgeable about web and software industry.

Well it’s about time for me to approach this problem in one way or the other.

My live forum used to be on bbPress 1.0.2 and I confess to running a bucketload of Plugins, some deemed to be compatible, others probably not so much (up to Legacy release) but they still do their thing.

So right now I’m pretty happy with what I have and the functionality it gives me and my users, alas from time to time the forum will suddenly die leaving a blank screen. I have traced this behaviour back to a corrupt bb_meta file, meaning that when it happens and I replace this database register with a backup all is well again with no posts lost.

Now my hope was that I might fix it by upgrading to the soon-to-be-released Version of bbPress, which means the trunk for now. Unfortunately the problem persists and I have lost hope somewhat that it will be any different with the final release. So that leaves me with the task to sort out the buggy Plugin that supposedly causes the mess.

Since skipping through my Plugins revealed that they’re all more or less neccessary for how we use the board nowadays, disabling them one by one and waiting up to a month or longer to see if the sporadic corruption will persist is hardly an option.

So I ask, is there any chance to trace/protocol such changes to bb_meta that might give a hint to the culprit?

Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Cheers

Lars

I had the same problem with pretty permalink.

Background:

Main site = http://www.site.com

Blog = http://www.site.com/blog (WP 2.

Forum = http://www.site.com/forum (bbPress 0.9.06)

I installed the blog few weeks ago and didn’t touch apart of posting a “hello world”. Wp gave me a message on that time to enter this on root htaccess –

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /blog/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]

</IfModule>

I must mention that the htaccess had already

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

Then I installed the forum today. After activating the name based permalink it gave me 404 message. I deleted the “+FollowSymLinks” from the htaccess and put –

Options +Multiviews

It worked fine for few hours but it started showing 404 again. After going through various posts in here I decided not to change the Multiviews as my hosting already mod_rewrite enabled.

I made another htaccess just for the forum,which look like this –

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /forum/index.php [L]

</IfModule>

The pretty permalink is working at the moment. Hopefully it will be working in future too.

While browsing today, I noticed it, see:

So, I need to do mysql, or are there some good bbpress methods for this?

[noobbgodlike]

Thank you very much for your answer

[chrishajer]

Please keep your topics to one topic per topic. The answers are too hard to find otherwise.

• Subforums: yes
• Adsense: yes
• Bandwidth: not a lot, but it’s dependent on the popularity of your forums
• Backup is not built in in any way. You back up your database and files
• Not sure what you mean by “manage user” but the moderation features in bbPress are not robust

I think you should install it and see what it’s all about, then ask specific questions about things you want to do.

[chrishajer]

It is not on the development road map. bbPress is on its way to becoming a plugin for WordPress and will therefore rely on whatever database technology is used by WordPress.

You can read more about the database choices for WordPress here:

[noobbgodlike]

I see many forum that use bbpress do not have subforum in the home page like in other forum software , does bbpress have similar feature like that?

Can I use google adsense in bbpress (customize it to appear between post)?

Anyone know good site that use bbpress as it forum??

Is it cost a lot of bandwidth? or it is simple so i can run quickly?

Is it easy to manage user, back up, etc??

thank you very much.

Hi guys.

I want to add postgreSQL support for bbpress. But i don’t know php. The only thing that i can do is to provide a sql script containing postgreSQL table configuration.

is it possible to add postgreSQL support or it is not in your developing road map?

if yes which file contains table configuration in source code? i have searched but i didn’t find.

Just noticed this plugin WP-FB-AutoConnect in the BuddyPress plugin directory. http://buddypress.org/community/groups/wp-fb-autoconnect/

Wondering if there is any such plugin available for bbPress (1.0.2 with neither simple nor deep integration) users too?

I tried to search for a plugin but it seems no one has developed it as yet. Anyone having plans to do this in near future?

[ph23man]

I’m using bbPress 1.1-alpha-2518 and there seems to be something broken with the drag-and-drop interface for forum ordering.

I have 3 forum levels, the top level and 2 nested levels. When trying to order the forums, I can drag and move the top level forums and 3rd level forums. But the 2nd level forums won’t budge.

I tested this in all major browsers with the same result.

Maybe upgrading to jQuery 1.4 broke something in the script that handles forum sorting?

Hello,

I’m looking to tack bbPress onto one of my non-WordPress sites. The site was hand coded in php and is a very basic static site. I’d like to use the bbPress login throughout the entire site to enable commenting and a few other social features.

Are there any resources out there that have to do with integration on a non-WordPress site? I’m just looking for a place to start.

Thanks!

Are you saying that all these people are SPAMMERS??!

I adapted an older plugin for use on punBB/fluxBB. Those forums have a report function, I made it so that after x reports the post got automatically hidden until reviewed by a moderator.

I’ll probably write a similar plugin for the bbPress plugin when it is released, as I have found it particularly useful along with the other restrictions that it also included:

– ability to limit new posts to x characters

– ability to limit new posters to x links

and a a few other things. Admittedly it wouldn’t have helped with the recent spam, for that I blame akismet

[citizenkeith]

It would be much simpler if you simply hosted the MP3 on another server, then use a plugin that recognizes .mp3 links and calls up the appropriate flash (or better yet, HTML5).

This is how Facebook does it. Simply use the “link” icon in your Status Update menu, link to an MP3 file, and Facebook does the rest.

XSPF is an open source music player. Perhaps it could be used in conjunction with a plugin.

http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/

Then again, this will all probably be moot once bbPress becomes a WP plugin.

try bbpress integration plugin on WordPress side. It will tell you to add some lines in your wp-config.php, do so and see if that resolves it.

[andrusch]

Hi, I’ve made some tests and I have seen that the topics are not loading (links not working) when the permalinks are set to be name based.

[chrishajer]

It’s a known issue. I’m not sure why it is or if anyone has resolved it.

Thanks, Guatam. >.<

Its not perfect in any way but, man, am I proud of it!

I also cannot use moderation functions like sticky a topic, or close a topic if I logged in via WordPress even though I see the links to do those actions. Everything though works fine if I logout and login using bbPress’ login.
