Well you kinda beat around my question bush. I was basically asking if official development WAS GOING TO CONTINUE or not. Not much has changed with bbpress in the past year other than the plug-ins released by the public. The moral around here is not the best right now. Ive done some reading. I know its open source. You guys should group together and just fork it right now and say good bye to the head aches. I want to put my time and effort into bbpress, and hope it doesn’t go the way of a dead forum system in two years.

Oh, thanks…

“Deep Integration” was never intended with bbPress sadly

I don’t know – of course I’d really like to have bbPress “deeply integrated”, and it’s particularly frustrating to see that everything seems to work except for the registration process (and some other, solvable little bits like title tag, current page body tag etc.).

But I would probably agree that deep bbPress integration shouldn’t be a priority for WordPress core development. In that respect, having bbPress as a standalone system that also works inside WordPress may simply be asking too much:

Look at other solutions – they’re either bloated or phenomenally ugly and near impossible to customise, or both. But I’ve tested several of them with WordPress 3.0 RC3, and they all get two things right straight away – integration and shared users, with just a few clicks.

They’re also all plugins…

For now, I’ll have to see if someone finds a way around this problem, or if I’ll have to replicate my WordPress theme for bbPress and leave deep integration alone. Stupid, really.

Then there’s also Justin Tadlock, who is building a forum using nothing but WordPress custom post types and custom taxonomies. Should be interesting to see how that pans out…

I’ll stick this on the WP boards – it seems WordPress 3.0 has been released just a few minutes ago, I’m pretty sure others will run into the same problem.

[kevinjohngallagher]

When you say it does not work mate, can you tell us what it does instead?

It might be a quick fix

[kevinjohngallagher]

Rootside, this is good methodical thinking, thank you for it.

“Deep Integration” was never intended with bbPress sadly, and it’s something that the Automattic folks have shy’d away from. I’ll look for Sam’s quote on it in a bit (as he summed it up brilliantly).

I’d throw this error on the WP board and see if it gets any traction (i reported the original bug form this thread and it recieved no responses at all), but it might not given that bbPress’s integration with WordPress is not a priority for either system.

If this still exists in 3.0 when it’s released, we’ll see if we can get a sticky made to warn people.

Good work!

[Rootside]

Wait a minute:

Looks like it might be deep integration that’s causing the problem:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ recommends adding require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/path/to/wp-load.php'); to bb-config.php.

I just added that (using the correct path) to my working installation, and I’m getting the ’email is required’ behaviour again. Delete it, and registration works.

I’m not sure if that means deep integration doesn’t work at all with WP3.0…?

[Rootside]

Okay, bug hunting is hereby unsuccessfully terminated for the time being:

I installed WordPress 3.0 RC3 and bbPress 1.0.2 in a different subdomain on the same server, and everything works as it should:

I can register new accounts, they show up in WordPress without a role, but as soon as I’ve logged in and posted a reply, I’m mapped as a subscriber in WordPress.

Adding a new user in WordPress works as well, I can hop over to bbPress, log in with the details chosen in WordPress, and post as a member.

Now that I see it working on the same server, I must have made a mistake in the first installation, or it’s a crazy bug. I doubt it had to do with my custom theme, because I switched back to the defaults during testing. However, I’ve only tested the new installation with the defaults, I’ll be back here if anything goes weird…

I’m still slightly uneasy about this of course, because I usually find the bugs or errors, even if I can’t always (okay, rarely) solve or correct them myself. But given that bbPress is BY FAR the best solution for a simple forum on WordPress, I simply had to make it work. Non-intrusive custom themes and Akismet are just two reasons why bbPress is so far ahead of other WordPress integrated solutions; I’ve tested 4 alternatives over the last week or so – OMFG.

The only thing I can offer to others is to try again, following Sam Bauer’s screencast at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast

(with one addition: when bbPress asks for the cookie salts and you can’t find them on the admin page bbPress links to, copy them from wp-config.php)

I’m sorry to tell you people that..its working on localhost correctly but not on live… depressed again…topic still not resolved

[pagal]

@kevinjohngallagher thanks to tease me.. I’m well aware about your attitude..

I’m not a web programmer who can write code…If I able to write code then why I wrote on bbpress? If I bumped my post then you’ve any problem mate?

And I’m really afraid to tell you that …the links you’ve mentioned still not solved…It worked on localhost but not in live…

So I’ll make another post about it and then tell you that, is it good to say people on forums to write their own codes… really bad

[kevinjohngallagher]

I was merely offering a solution. You don’t have to take it.

I actually install WordPress with almost every bbPress forum, even if it’s not needed. I don’t use Deep Integration so there is no overhead. All I do is point my bbPress forum action towards the WordPress page, and it redirects people back to bbPress, without ever seeing WordPress.

Again, it’s merely a solution. It’s not one that you have to take.

but I still need it

Then write it yourself mate

You did already get annoyed and bumped your own post when no-one had replied in under 4 hours. If you need it that desperately, then you should write it yourself

Otherwise, we’re jsut trying to help.

…think beyond

… answering your questions next time? you got it, i’ll think beyond

Pagal didn’t we actually go over this 4 weeks ago?

should I waste my time and effort in this forum software

You should never waste your time on anything.

Is it going to stay alive and healthy?

It’s open source software.

It can be anything you want it to be. If at any time it’s not what you want, you can change it

Cos, respectfully, none of us can see into the future.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Yeah, bbPress doesn’t actually have any parent child functionality, so this isn’t really possible. You could write some custom code to keep a counter somewhere, but it’s more than a pain really.

I’m workingon a plugin that deals with this, but it uses part of the bbProgress framework, and there are some issues to work around before separating it entirely.

[zaerl]

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/in-posts-appears-unexpectedly

[pagal]

But it can be easily achieved.

Then what you waiting for…bbPress need this plugin..it will be great

contribution.

But I think someone achieved it without any plugin…

see this

If you have no time for making this kind of plugin right now….then can you please tell me the code which he use?

Thanks zaerl

[zaerl]

Yes, yes and yes. Respectively. I love the clean style of your site. I will change the double-line border of the forum table in a single line.

Hi contributers|

I want to add a new custom drop down field into registration page like http://www.facebook.com/ where you can see the gender (Male, Female), and birthday fields (Month, Day, Year) exactly that what I want…is it possible to add these two drop down fields into register page and to show in user profile page?

Thanks and always love you bbPress!!!

The site is http://retro-replay.com

Ive added a bbpress forum and I am tweaking it as we speak. They sync together and cross post well. I am sure I can continue to move forward in a positive direction until the forum meets my satisfaction. My question is, should I waste my time and effort in this forum software? Is it going to stay alive and healthy? I need to know this now before I move forward.

[driz]

Thanks. Weird code though. Wish bbPress was more like WordPress…

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Dudd,

_ck_ has her own great forum, http://bbshowcase.com , and that would be the best place to contact her directly.

Also, to the best of my knowledge the bb-anonymous plugin doesn’t store the person’s email to be able to email them. Cos, and i may be wrong (i usually am about bbPress), but if we had their email address saved forever – that wouldn’t be anonymous

They can follow their thread via RSS though.

Kev

Hi,

Message specialy to _ck_ : please can you intergrate this two plugin to get guest (not registred) to receive notification by email (when someone replay to his comment he get email) like on this plugin for wordpress : http://txfx.net/wordpress-plugins/subscribe-to-comments/

I always get this crap on top of all the bbPRess pages:

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /*/*/*/forum/bb-settings.php on line 186

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /*/*/*/forum/bb-includes/backpress/functions.wp-object-cache.php on line 108

I managed to get things going with a simple call to ob_start() in bb-load.php and used error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED) to turn the warnings off, but it did not work. What’s the deal with this crap?

[copperblade]

I noticed that the bbPress development list has been inactive (according to the archives at least). Maybe it’s just not needed. I feel like mailman is just an extra piece of the puzzle that would-be developers have to manage. I’d prefer to see a core development forum here with somewhat restricted access, where you can subscribe to all updates at that forum.

[chrishajer]

Not from Ning to bbPress but I have heard of resources for Ning to BuddyPress:

Does anyone know of a solution to migrate a Ning Forum to BBPress? Please let me know. Thanks.
