    Check it out: http://devgrow.com/discuss

    It took about a week to get everything the way I wanted. At first I wanted to do a deep integration but it was too much of a pain, so I just ended up writing some custom code to cache most of my sidebar, header and footer elements from my blog and display the cached content in bbPress.

    Plugins I’m using:

    • Allow Images
    • Auto Add to Favorites
    • BBcode Lite
    • Google Sitemap Generator
    • Post Count Plus
    • Post Count Plus for WordPress
    • Subscribe to Topic
    • Topic Icons
    • Custom Plugin for Recent/Popular Topics

    And some more custom code throughout the templates. Would love to answer questions or hear feedback!

    Topic: something useful

    in forum Installation

    Okay, first thing’s first… if this is the forum on the bbPress site itself, it really needs to be a bit more of a better example. As it is, when I get to the forum I’m first faced with a giant tagcloud, then I have to scroll all the way down past a huge list of posts to get to the actual individual forums such as this one. Of course, I could hit the button to start a new topic at the top of the top of the page but not only is that counterintuitive, it’s a really bad idea in general that will get people just Pcoming in and posting without looking at other posts first. I’d hoped the layout would have been changed by now at least.

    Second problem, and this is one I’ve had on the wordpress forums as well but never bothered to ask about it. At the bottom of the post box it lists allowed tags (shortly after mentioning “Enter a few words (called tags)” with a link to the tagcloud rather than a definition of tags), but what gets me is “Put code in between backticks.” I’ve been running forums since before ISPs could offer residential Internet connections and yet I have absolutely no clue what that means. Unless this software is only meant for WordPress users (which I’m one of, btw), it would be best to get a bit more accessible to ordinary people in terms of language/jargon.

    My other large beef is that the forums read like blog comments rather than forum discussions. Threading would be my number one request if I intended to use it. I guess my number two request would be integrating said threaded comments into the comments section of blog entries for those using it with a WP blog, though that’s a lot more complicated. I’d want to start off with the other way around by having the blog able to automatically display posts from certain sections such as Announcements and such. I’m not sure if that functionality exists yet, so apologies if it does. If not, I suppose a workaround could be reading the rss feed from that section into the blog section, but aggregating your own feeds is a fairly silly notion.

    That’s it for initial feedback right now. I may come take another look when the software has matured a bit… by that I mean the core, it shouldn’t have to depend on plugins and themes to have very basic funcionality on its own.

    Did you integrate with WordPress and use an existing WordPress user as your keymaster in bbPress?

    does it matter if the key master is called admin when installing?

    (coz doing that might have mucked up bbpress buttons in the past)

    i fixed the

    “Error establishing database connection”

    by revering to a previous sql dump

    but how do you fix the

    Cannot modify header information – headers already sent

    if it happens again?

    i wasn’t shouting i forgot to turn off caps lock

    Looks like you have WordPress installed as well. Will WordPress mail out information?

    If you would like to work around the problem, you can display the password to the user rather than email it, with a plugin:

    I’m rapidly running out of hope that such a discussion is even possible in this community.

    That was sort of my point in the thread you just pulled Matt’s quote from, but I suppose I never came to articulate it like you just did.

    The core problem is, this community is haunted by a great divide, the ones who are stuck with bbpress 0.9/1.x for better or for worse, and the ones who just really want to move on. This divide will not disappear any time soon, and it will certainly let its presence be known in every direction-related topic until bbPress standalone is firmly declared dead or forked. As long as its in limbo, so is the community.

    This is why I suggested WordPress Foundation / Core Developers / Automattic could just as well pack up and leave from here and start anew elsewhere, easy as pie.

    Sorry, I know this wasn’t what you asked for in the start of your topic, but I gotta vent some where.

    Greg

    Nope, many sites will continue to use and advance bbPress standalone. Matt might not invest dev resources in that, but others will.

    0.9 is a defacto fork today, and there has been talk of a more official fork. Even Matt has said…

    “Since the stated roadmap for whatever is going to be called “bbPress” and live at bbpress.org is to build on the success of WordPress if you disagree with that direction it’s probably best to fork at that time.”

    So I think Matt acknowledges the potential continued existence of standalone, but believes that independent roadmaps is the right approach. I was hoping to take a step back and discuss the relative merits of that versus an approach where plugin and standalone were more coupled.

    I’m rapidly running out of hope that such a discussion is even possible in this community.

    Hello,

    PHPBB has a facebook style chat mod.

    Link: http://www.phpbb3hacks.com/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=367

    Accounts:

    (username) : (password)

    user : useruser

    user2 : user2user2

    user3 : user3user3

    IS there are plugin like this for bbpress?

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    If you go to this link:

    http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/support-forums/

    You see the layout:

    | Description | Installation | Other Notes | Changelog | Stats |

    And then the | Download | Button on the right hand side.

    Is that a plugin to make that page?

    How can you do it, what is the plugin if it is one?

    Thanks,

    Danny.

    I think bbPress standalone is dead in 2010.

    Matt Mullenweg: Non-plugin bbPress development is going to continue until we have a perfect importer so people will be able to bring their content out of the legacy codebase.

    bbPress 1.1 may be here.

    Greg

    My underlying assumption is that 0.9 or another fork will keep standalone alive.

    We can acknowledge this reality and discuss its relationship with bbPress-as-plugin, or we can continue the (now pointless I believe) argument of standalone versus plugin.

    Personally, I think there are valid arguments for both coupled and independent roadmaps. I’d like to know what other people think.

    @_ck_

    Thanks a lot :)

    I am gonna ditch v1.0+ and start using 0.9 from now on. Will downgrade my other installations too.

    Someone fixed the tags! Thank you, that was a biggie!

    Another little bug is when you search for something in the plugin section, the links that come up are invalid and not fully formed.

    Newbies might find that really confusing.

    (but we won’t mention how bad the search is in the first place)

    Sorry I thought you were asking about any potential advantages/disadvantages of a wordpress plugin vs standalone forums.

    Actually the three messages before me all mentioned performance too?

    But am I missing something or isn’t bbPress standalone dead with 1.1 ?

    Your questions is well stated and laid out, but isn’t the point moot?

    Or is this just hypothetical?

    I’m sorry but my career of plugins creator has ended. bbPress development will end at 1.1. Given this I will not upload new plugins nor I will provide support for existing versions.

    [this is probably directed more at JJJ and Pete than anyone else]

    With BuddyPress and now bbPress as plugin, does WordPress have an architectural direction for plugins that extend other plugins.

    Or perhaps the right way to think about this is plugin dependencies. I see this discussion in WP trac where the consensus seems to be that plugin dependencies should be handled by sub-plugin developers with the neat approach Mark Jaquith suggests there.

    This is beautiful in its simplicity, but a little unfriendly to the ordinary user installing a bbPress plugin without bbPress-as-plugin installed and activated.

    Is Mark’s approach the plan for bbPress as plugin, or has the thinking evolved since this discussion 6 months ago?

    Though I have Akismet installed on the bbpress forum, I keep getting tags added that are showing up in the Hot Tags without being even added to any posts. I found that the only way to remove them is by removing them directly from the database. Is there any kind of filter for hot tags spam and any plugin to remove hot tags from the admin panel?

    _ck_: Well, multiple BLOGS, I am not sure if they can get multiple forums going on the first version, we’ll see. But I am sure it’s a goal of Matt’s so they can use it on WordPress.com

    I’m not sure how they couldn’t get it going, but I sure do think it’ll be on the list!

    Even if it doesn’t make the first version, it’s going to be put in there not long after. At the end of the day, that’ll be a major ”selling” point when it comes to people using bbPress (IMHO!)

    Hmmm. Seems that even the mod is hijacking threads on bbpress.org these days… :)

    Feel free to start a different thread to talk about the specific performance aspects of bbPlugin versus bbStandalone.

    One more attempt to focus this thread on the original question: I am interested in a discussion on the relative merits of evolving bbStandalone and bbPlugin independently versus in a coordinated fashion, NOT the relative merits of bbStandalone versus bbPlugin.

    Repeating the advantages of both, with one additional pro that I thought of for the coupled roadmap.

    Advantages of a coupled roadmap:

    – Higher quality for standalone (benefitting from the larger installed base of the plugin)

    – Better performance for the plugin (benefitting from the big standalone sites)

    – More tight WP integration is likely for standalone

    – Easier “cross-grades” between plugin and standalone version

    Advantages of independent evolution of the plugin and standalone versions

    – More flexibility in release roadmap for both versions

    – No compromises for either version

    The plugin is Add bbPress Default Role. It’s three lines of code so you may be better just writing it into your functions.php file.

    I guess all your plugins are tagged https://bbpress.org/plugins/tags/_ck_

    right?

    And I believe even your updated plugins support 0.9 ?

    Unfortunately the plugin section is still broken and does not import tags so the _ck_ tag is no longer complete there (update: someone appears to have fixed it in the past 24 hours)

    For now this is the only way to find them all:

    http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/_ck_-plugin-catalog-index

    Virtually 100% my plugins will support 0.9 (except ones specifically made to “fix” 1.x)

    <cite>Mark McWilliams</cite>

    Not with WordPres 3.0 anyway, 1 install, multiple sites! :)

    Well, multiple BLOGS, I am not sure if they can get multiple forums going on the first version, we’ll see. But I am sure it’s a goal of Matt’s so they can use it on WordPress.com

    WordPress today cannot run a live site without caching.

    You’ll get kicked off any shared hosting in a heartbeat.

    This is a HUGE regression because there are times when a page cannot be cached. I was looking at mashable the other day – it uses over ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY queries per page. It would be slaughtered without a super dooper amount of caching.

    But bbPress 0.9 is fully capable of taking loads without any caching at all. I know of a few large sites that use it without any caching, it just doesn’t need it if properly configured until you get to slashdot level loads.

    So in what fantasy world does anyone believe that adding the load of bbPress as a plugin to WordPress’s existing burden will ever make it faster than 0.9 ?

    WP 3.0 already requires the increase of PHP’s default memory allocation per instance (over 32M in some cases). bbPress 0.9 runs in less than 1M (with a whole bunch of plugins at that).

    If being more attractive to the WP masses was important, what should have been done is a project to make standalone bbPress’s integration with WP easier. Perhaps mimic WP’s template actions, etc. so WP templates could be used with less modification.

    But like backPress, I’m afraid it’s probably too late.

    I’m not saying this to be mean Matt, but the reality is Automattic is becoming a one-hit-wonder with everything being folded back into WordPress.

    (and if a bbPress as plugin with WordPress backend goes down for any reason, failed upgrade, security hit, etc. now so will your forum)
