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.

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.

[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.

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

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.

Hi,

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:

https://buddypress.org/2010/04/helpful-resources-for-ning-users/

[djtonyz]

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

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

[kevinjohngallagher]

I’m sorry, you’re using BuddyPress, not bbPress.

You should head to the BuddyPress forums for help, those folks are really lovely and quick so they’ll be able to help you with a solution.

Good Luck,

Kev

Once a milestone is deleted, its tickets are shifted to another milestone and I think there is no way to see the pending tickets on that particular milestone. But, I think there were no tickets for 0.9.0.7 milestone, there were only for 1.0.3 and if the bugs applied to 0.9 branch too, then they were also fixed there. You can view the latest version of 0.9 here – https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/branches/0.9

Also don’t you think that (again) this whole thing would be handled better if we’d been told about it either before hand or at the time?

Yup, I agree with you on this.

Kevin, bbPress has a function to include a template.

ie. bb_load_template( 'tags.php' );

You can see it at the end of many of the files in the root

But you may find the behavior unpredictable and may want to just use an include instead, in which case you’d have to calculate the current template folder yourself, which is difficult.

[mr_pelle]

I agree with Zaerl. Documentation has been bbPress biggest lack since I knew it. There is also a 3-months-old ticket regarding PHPdoc and coding standards which has never moved on…

I deeply esteem your work, Zaerl: it’s amazing what you were able to do with no documentation at all! And the fact that you consider your latest plugins as “toys” is… wow!

Anyhow, we’d need more people with TRAC permissions to change the website (and to commit 1.0.3/1.1 patches too) and at the moment we just have a few…

I’ll be happy to contribute with my (very little) experience and my (big) free time, but we need to know who stakeholders are, first.

Here is a working mini example of the view with the user query.

raw: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=xXant1dX

fancy: http://pastebin.com/embed_iframe.php?i=xXant1dX

download: http://bbshowcase.org/plugins/member-list.zip

(download mirror): http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=xXant1dX

It’s been made (much) more complex because of the pagination.

But please ask questions if you want to learn more.

You can now access any of these variables in the output section near the bottom, or you can use many internal bbPress API functions.

$user->ID

$user->user_login

$user->user_pass

$user->user_nicename

$user->user_email

$user->user_url

$user->user_registered

$user->user_status

$user->display_name

please note the GT thingie you are seeing above is really a greater than symbol

Dig through the bbpress file “template-functions.php” if you want to see what other internal functions are available to you.

Look for ones that accept $user_id as the variable and you can probably use it.

Much more advanced topics would include overriding the internal pagination per page limit and changing/repeating the navigation but I am not going to cover right now.

[zaerl]

Beware. I’m a bit O.T. cause I will speak regarding my situation as a “plugin developer”. Keep in mind that usually I don’t write these kind of posts.

I really don’t like what’s going on in this site. I mean: everybody are fighting each other regarding the near future of this software. It must be name 1.0.3, no it’s 1.1, no it will be a plugin et cetera. It’s just a number and nobody care about numbers. If Linux jumped from 0.12 to 0.95 then we can call the new version of bbPress 1.0.3, 1.1 or what we want.

Now what is the real problem? The real problem is this site. After the releasing of the new template and the corresponding “Whoa!” thread everything stopped working. 404 pages, SVN broken, search broken, stupid HTML entities, trac substitution tag. Also the “Downloads This Week” statistics aren’t updated, “Highest Rated Plugins” too and I can continue on.

I really love this piece of code but we must provide a good experience for users now for the 1.0.2. We can’t provide the new version if there isn’t a solid base first. Few hints? Documentation or API documentation? I was forced to look at the code of the core in order to understand how to write my extensions.

I am demotivated. I have built a lot of plugins but I don’t want to hit the “submit” button cause why should I share my work if nobody can search for it in the plugin section or access it in several situations? As you can see I have stopped uploading big plugins after Editor and Visibility. Random Desc, Simple Registration, URL Preview and Post Permalink are like toys for me and I can share my toys with other people.

Have a nice day and long live bbPress.

Now we need a proper function to process/display the view output.

Because we are essentially tricking bbPress into doing this view for us, we have to make sure we do all the output ourselves, like this mini-example

function member_list($view='') {

if (!empty($view) && $view!='member-list')  {return;}

bb_send_headers();

bb_get_header();

//  do view stuff here

bb_get_footer();

exit;

}

first we make sure the view is for us, if so we send any http headers, then we send any bbPress html headers like in a normal page (meta, css, etc.) then we do our view, then we send the bbPress footer and we force PHP to stop afterwards.

[_ck_]

Actually I guess I will jump ahead and show how to make this into a view because otherwise we won’t have a proper place for it and it will get awkward to test.

This is the mashup I’ve come up with over the years as the “simplest way”. bbPress unfortunately requires a fake, wasted query for it’s views because the original designers wanted you to use their proprietary query method which only deals with topics, so we have to bypass it.

add_action(‘bb_custom_view’,’member_list’);

$fakequery=array(‘started’ => ‘>0′,’append_meta’=>false,’sticky’=>false,’topic_status’=>’all’,’order_by’=>1,’per_page’=>1), false);

bb_register_view(“member-list”,”Member List”,$fakequery);

So there we’ve registered a view called “Member List” that will use the url/tag “?view=member-list” or “view/member-list
