[annew]

has written a Thesis port for bbPress?

Thanks.

[Petehds]

Its active. I’ll delete the video posts. I guess I will have to pass on the video idea until one is made for my bbpress version.

I’m sure this is a dumb question; but how did you get your avatar on the site?

[chrishajer]

If you have access to subversion, it is easiest. If you don’t, you can download all the bbPress files, but you end up not getting the BackPress files.

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ ./bbpress

will get you the latest trunk version, which is basically 1.0.2 with bug fixes, plus login-less posting and subscribe to topic.

Otherwise, you have to get it here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2432/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip

from the bottom of this page:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk

Then you have to get BackPress.

http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/trunk

I’ve never done it this way; I use subversion normally, so I’m not sure how well this works.

[chrishajer]

I saw that yesterday but I thought it was me and autocomplete in my browser. Happens for me two, on two systems with either Firefox or Chrome.

Is there a downloadlink for 1.0.3?

[seosearch]

Now the home page isn’t loading, it is redirecting to the install page.

[Paulo Faustino]

Exactly chris There isn’t any title for those pages at this moment

[Ricard Torres]

Thanks all, got it working with this:

if ( $posts ) {

$out = $posts[0]->post_text;

$out = strip_tags( $out );

$out = str_replace( array( "n", "r" ), ' ', $out );

$out = preg_replace( '|/!]*?[^[*?]|si', '', $out );

$out = substr($out, 0, 200); // only display the first 200 characters of the first post

}



echo "n".'<meta name="description" content="'.$out.'" />';

Now the home page isn’t loading, it is redirecting to the install page.

For those not using deep integration and want to use BuddyPress avatars, check out this forum post I just made on BuddyPress.org:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-definitively-display-buddypress-avatars-in-bbpress/?topic_page=1&num=15#post-56018

If you’re using WPMU, replace the $avatar_folder_url with:

$avatar_folder_url = '/files/avatars/'. $author_id;

[chrishajer]

You want to make sure that the topic title (the post title of a forum entry) appears on the page (it is now), but also in the <title> tag of the page, for SEO?

So this page:

http://www.escoladinheiro.com/forums/forum/wordpress

Should have some variation of this title:

Forums de Webmarketing e Afiliados » WordPress – Programação

?

[Paulo Faustino]

Hi chris, thanks for the reply. I only that the titles appear just like on my normal WordPress entries. On the forum, if i click on a post or topic, there isn’t any title for that I’m not trying to automate content. I only want that my forum has it’s own pages/posts titles, not only to appear on the top browser, but also to help them rank in search engines.

I think this problem appears because i’m defining the title of this bbpress posts/pages in my wordpress header, but not the friendly way

[chrishajer]

What do you expect to happen? Do you want WordPress posts/pages to appear as forum topics automatically, or are you trying to display a list of WordPress posts/pages?

[chrishajer]

That’s normally the job of a plugin, but this one is not working. You can try contacting the author of that plugin to see if it can be updated.

I just installed this plugin on a trunk installation (so 1.0.2 or even 1.1-alpha) and the video gets embedded just fine:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbvideo/

There is some weirdness because it looks like the plugin should have an admin page, but the link doesn’t work (that could be fixed if you needed it). But just pasting a youtube video URL into the post showed me an embedded video as expected.

[Paulo Faustino]

Hello People,

I’ve made a deep integration of Bbpress into my WordPress blog as you can see at http://www.escoladinheiro.com/forums but i’m getting a very big problem. I can’t make page/post title to appear as my bbpress topic/posts titles. I’ve searched for about 8h on google and i didn’t found any solution for this. There’s anyone that can help me define this titles?

I’m using the header and footer of my main WordPress blog. There’s any way i can define that if the page/post is from bbpress, it’ll call the page title from bbpress? With this mess, i can’t even make a sitemap for the forum

If anyone can share some sort of code to implement on my wordpress for fixing this, i really appreciate. If needed, i can pay for the work.

Thanks in advance.

Paulo

I voted for it being called 1.0.3 as a bug fix release for 1.0.2. The problem is, there are things in there that were destined for 1.1. So maybe there never will be a 1.0.3 and the next will be 1.1 with a couple more bugs fixed, and new functionality like subscribe to topic, and login-less posting. I expect we’ll hear back in a couple days.

I guess based on the fact that it’s being used here as 1.1-alpha and the fact that 1.0.3 actually has 2 new features in it, that it should probably be 1.1 and there would be no 1.0.3.

[chrishajer]

Does this answer help you?

[Coronita-C2]

I tried to create autologin but it dead! :'(

I can’t login to the bbPress, what’s I do?

[johnhiler]

Why is this an unpopular post?

@kevinjohngallagher

Hey ho!

Perhaps it is just that the forums I participate in (well most of them) and especially the subject specific ones seem to have very disciplined users.

I have seen and heard of the rabble that frequent some other forums probably with many 1000’s of visits per day.

The specific site I’m developing (redeveloping) currently has 100-200 per day and has been pretty constant for years – it is a fairly close and insular community that is not there to take over the web

It has outgrown the current coding which has proved difficult to maintain, has evolved through several programmers and is unmanageable. Taking PmWiki and bbPress “off the shelf” has enabled the regeneration of the site in the manner intended with, so far, only minor but resolvable hiccups.

Both products meet the needs of being lightweight and easy to use with minimal implementation effort. Even if the documentation of bbPress leaves much to be desired – unless it is hidden away somewhere I’m yet to find.

The problem I have with wordpress is much like the problem I have with Microsoft products- They start out simple and easy to use with minimal functionality then bloat into leviathans that are full of functionality that is neither required or in line with the way users are used to doing things.

[checkfront]

Yeah we had to switch. The current bbpress is missing needed functionality (read-only only forums, e-mail notifications). The existing plug-ins seem abandoned.

We’ll check back on 1.1. It’s looking good.

[wemaflo]

That’s cool, thank you!
