By the bbPress documentation site… are you referring to Sam’s personal wiki that he set up before he joined Automattic?

Might be mate. I knew it was to do with Sam, but didn’t know it was his own and from a time when he wasn’t with Automattic. At the risk of derailing, how expensive is a domain name to renew? (not that I’m not a fan of the shemale subdomain – buy me a bottle of wine, send the kids out, and it’s my friday night)

The realism is, if the bbPress plugin is that far advanced, and thats a really awesome thing for the huge number of people who’ll preffer that option, we will only get more and more questions/topics/posts like the one above. And the Original Poster asked alot of exact and pertenant questions…

The big thing for me though is this:

1) If, according to Matt, the release schedule was meant to be bbPress1.1, then bbPress plugin work would be after that, are we realistically at a stage where that’s been turned around without any communication?

2) Does that mean that there was development resources for bbPress plugin, but not for bbPress standalone, and the community thats been attempting to suppotr it for years? It didn’t develop itself…

3) bbPress1.1 can’t be released until the next 2 versions of BackPress are out (as well as our own current task list – which is small thanks to Gautam et all). Jane’s post contains timescales which suggest that bbPress plugin will be used sooner than that (of course it may not be released publicly at that time).

The whole thing just feels very underhanded, y’know. Even if it’s not (and I truly doubt anyone’s attempting to be machevelian) the evidence to back up that gut feeling just keeps on coming.

• It’s been 163 days since we’ve had a blog post.
• Over 100 (that I can see) since the Project Lead has been on the IRC.
• Over 100 days since the Project lead posted on the forum.
• 7 weeks since the Project Lead used our trac (and that was to delete the 0.9 milestone without telling anyone for another 3 weeks).

No wonder people think badly of the information they get from here.

If you worked on your site for 10 months, and have 100 bbPress installations, you launch it. What happens to bbPress after you launch does not matter to you. If the software you have installed works, use it. Don’t wait around for anything new.

My opinion

[hpguru]

In other topic other say that bbPress plugin come soon?

[hpguru]

What point use today bbPress standalone, if bbPress plugin is made soon? I wait it, because i and my users need plugin forum to my WordPress. In my forum bbPress is very fast and good but i delete it some months ago because 200 members doesn’t post more than 1-10 messages per week…

Per day 50-100 unique and nothing from AdSense. My blog AdSense is 100 €/month and 1 000 unique per day. I think plugin is better for unique to forum and for good AdSense to forum.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Those are some excellent questions.

Sadly, the good folks behind bbPress have decided not to communicate with us, infact the Project Lead left 4 months ago when a moderator dared ask him a question.

Do you people have answers for these questions?

Nope. None. Not one. We have 0 idea.

Will bbpress.org will closed after plugin’s announcement?

No, I doubt it.

The folks at Automattic have dropped the ball on bbPress for a number of years, but that sort of thing isn’t their style. They do truly wish to make as many people happy as possible, and closing this website (or not maintaining it in the way that the bbPress documentation site became a porn site) really would be a bad thing, and they are good folks.

I saw that bbpress is now making a plugin instead of standalone install.

So What should I do? I’m on the final stage to launch my site where I’ve used almost 100 plus bbpress standalone installs.

So here are my question?

1. Will New plugin meet my site’s criteria?

2. Will bbpress.org will closed after plugin’s announcement?

3. Will bbPress Standalone shutdown after plugin’s availability?

4. Can We will easily able to switch from standalone to plugin without data losing?

5. is there a function to launch multiple boards like wpmu?

because I’m using multiple installs for my various boards.

6. will there need for integration specially ( cookies integration ) with this new plugin.

7. what about bbPress plugins? after bbpress plugin version will they all useless?

8. Or we will be able to use bbpress standalone plugins with bbpress plugin software?

9. Should I launch my site or still wait for plugin availability?

10. When this bbpress plugin version will be available for public?

Do you people have answers for these questions?

Do you people have any suggestions for my site?

Do you people have any ideas how can I achieve bbpress multiuser like WPMU functionality? after plugin’s availability??

I’m really afraid, I really don’t know what to do right now.

I’m working on my site from almost last 10 months. I don’t want to lose everything if this plugin will be launched, Is it possible? Because I was working with bbpress Standalone Version.

I hope you people will guide me Now what to do….

Thanks

Regards

If the bbPress plugin is at that stage already (can be released onto a website in the next 2 months), what we doing bloating up bbpress standalone with all this nonsence in 1.1 ??

[chrishajer]

Good catch Gautam. It was discussed in the dev chat yesterday:

https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-dev&day=2010-06-24&sort=asc

[kevinjohngallagher]

woah woah woah (sweet child of mine)

There’s no doubt we’re doing exceptionally well in how far we’ve come with this, especially given that the Project Lead left 4 months ago, but we’re not anywhere near that stage.

1.0 had 10 alphas (though pre-Alpha6 was massively different to Alpha7-10).

It had no beta’s. It had 1 RC which was turned into an actual release 7 days later with minimal bug fixes, and we’ve been stuck with these bugs for a year because of it.

If you want to help, and it’s awesome you do, please download the latest nightly build from the Trunk and report bugs like mad.

There should be no real alpha/beta/rc packages until we’ve squashed all the existing tickets (possible exception to backPress reliant ones).

The moer bugs we find now (in the nightly builds) the more confident we’ll all be in the Alphas that we put out there

And Gautam, excellent work once again.

[Rich Pedley]

can a release candidate be put together for general testing?

[kevinjohngallagher]

are these WP 3 MU sites you are talking about “playing nicely”?

I’ve no idea.

WP3MS and WP2MU were never supported.

It was always suggested that one should use Buddypress if using WPMU.

How that will stand up against myBB, Simple:Press, WP-United and others

As much as it’s not what I want, it will stand up favourably due to being availible as a custom one click install for WordPress.com users. There are also many people that use WordPress that have it installed via sopme form of control panel from their web host, for them a 1 click integration will be massive.

[hpguru]

So where is now bbPress 1.1 Alpha? I need full alpha with all files.

[still giving]

Yah … if I did not care, and if I did not see the potential, I would not bother saying anything.

My position has always been … for a LONG time … a grave disappointment that BBpress was the poor cousin of the Automattic family, kept starved and locked up in the basement.

I know the amazing work of people like _ck_ etc trying to fix things but 100s of wasted hours over the years …. I know the reality too.

Especially for those of us trying to support multi-language communities … which is a whole other bugbear.

• So, excusing my unpaid exhaustion with it all … are these WP 3 MU sites you are talking about “playing nicely”?

BB in BP is a whole other beast and I was interested to read it was going the way of a plugin … which I take to mean it will remain a very minimal device … versus the idea of ‘the community’ forking it as a new stand alone.

• How that will stand up against myBB, Simple:Press, WP-United and others, makes me wonder if it is really the right choice for someone with $10,000,000 to go showing with.

BP looks like a bad rail crash right now and is not for general users who have become accustomed to other standards (… or at least, a good looking train which has been involved in a a bad rail crash. Give it its dues.)

[Gautam Gupta]

Just saw that this is written here in forum improvements section –

bbpress plugin instead of standalone install

[Gautam Gupta]

As I recall it used to a really long time ago, but had the feature taken out or turned off.

That was actually when you yourself add a post and it would get added via AJAX.

If this feature is not currently supported, do you think it can be easily done?

Yup, P2 theme for WordPress also checks for blog/comments updates via AJAX so it should be easy for bbPress too.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Does bbPress update posts automatically using AJAX?

No.

As I recall it used to a really long time ago, but had the feature taken out or turned off.

If this feature is not currently supported, do you think it can be easily done?

Yes.

It is though a fairly straightforward thing to implement, but personally I’d advise against it. AJAX has been around since IE4 and the MSXML4.0 upgrade, and there’s a reason why it’s not used as often as it’s propents think.

Given how much AJAX posting requires being tied in to a specific HTML markup, and how realistically you’d want to NOT be tied into the horrific Kakumei markup, you’d really just be adding to your own forum(s).

[kevinjohngallagher]

You know what else I love,

If you have Javascript turned off, you can’t see the first 3 lines of what you type for that stupid grey box that “fades”. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how accessible we are.

Oh same for tags as well.

[shoeshine]

hi guys,

Does bbPress update posts automatically using AJAX?

That is lets say I am on a particular Topic page and someone posts a reply. Does bbPress update the topic page without a refresh?

If this feature is not currently supported, do you think it can be easily done?

I am ready to contribute this feature if it does not exist!

Thank you

First, check you’ve uploaded the theme to the right place.

If i physically go to the theme files, they’re not there on your server.

http://jeffreydeanmorganunlimited.com/community/bbpress/my-templates/mistymorning_bb/style.css returns a 404 error.

Second make sure that you’ve got the permissions of the folder set correctly:

The permissions of the my-templates folder should be 0755. Same for the folder the theme is in as well. Files in the theme folder should be 0644

Shout back if that doesn’t fix it.

I just installed bbpress and it seems to work with the default theme. When I tried a couple of other themes the formatting was lost.

This is what it looks like:

http://bit.ly/acst7R

I installed the themes as zip files into the mytemplate directory.

Could anyone help me with figuring out what is wrong?

Thanks!

i upgraded my bbPress to latest version 1.0. But i have a warning message:

How lovely of you to say. Especially after all those lovely things you’ve said about bbPress over on the BuddyPress forum. You are truly too kind.

WP3 and bbPress play really nicely in my experience.

So far, 29*** upgrades to WP3 done, and 4 have had issues above the usual ultra-minor things. Most of those have a bbPress forum attatched, 2 of them use deep integration and there’s a definate hit in loading but it plays real nicely.

There is 1 new issue with Deeply Integrated WP3/bbP1 install, and thats with regisrtaion but: 1) there was a patch by Zaerl on the day this was found and 2) if you’re using a WP/bbP integrated website you should use WP for registration anyway.

***6 of those sites were running either a nightly or RC version anyway.

=======================================================================

To Specifics:

I didn’t ask about BuddyPress because the Original Poster was kind enough to give us the URL in question, so I can see for myself it’s not a BuddyPress issue (i do actually make the effort).

Given that WP3 has been out for a week, and we’ve had very very very few people telling us of integration issues (deep or normal), I’m quietly confident that there are few new integration issues. Previously we’ve had alot more posts in the last 4 WordPress upgrades – even in the first week.

And as for my short question in reply… It’s important information. Its really difficult to give up time and effort to help out here when people can’t actually tell us what’s going on, or gone wrong. You’d be amazed at how simply the really intelligent folks here can solve the most complex of issues (and I’m def not one of them) once given actual information.

If you come on these forums asking for help with a problem, make sure you say:

• bbPress version:
• Are you using default theme:
• WordPress version:
• Are you using default theme:
• Are WP/bbP integrated:
• Are WP/bbP Deep Integrated:
• Using BuddyPress:
• Using WordPressMU:
• Using WordPress3 Multisite:
• Is there an error message:
• What is the error message:
• What PHP version is your server on:
• Did the issue occur as you installed something for the first time:
• Did the issue occur after an upgrade:
• What plugins are you using:
• Are you using a paid for theme that came with special instructions:
• What is the URL:
• Can you include a screenshot along with a description:
• Did you follow any specific tutorial?

99/100 by giving us as much of the information as possible, someone here will be able to help.

Is this correct or a bug?

There is option 3: Human Error!
