sorry to raise an old topic from the dead, but I think I have found a significant problem with the current version…

If you try to post an empty reply in a topic, you are met with a message saying ‘You need to actually submit some content!’ and bbpress won’t let you reply.

However, if you edit a post, and delete all the information from inside, you can resubmit the post as a completely empty reply, because the filter for new replies does not work for edits.

And because there is no delete post function for normal users, some of my users have been doing this to remove their posts.

This means there are blank replies in some topics, which have to be manually found and removed by moderators!

I suggest there are two possible solutions

1) Allow users to delete their own posts, but within a certain time limit, I don’t want users deleting posts they made 2 months ago!

and/or

2) Have the empty-post filter work for post-edits as well as for brand new posts.

How can I make the edit-post function call the same minimum-character filter as the new post function??

Is it possible to mod the above post-delete plugin to include a time-limit on deleting posts (as found in phpbb)?

Thanks, they won’t allow me to post their site. I always thought it was the bbpress plugin but wordpress too I didn’t think of.

Gautam once it’s a plugin it won’t be hard to add on some stuff to make it a standalone right?

[psycheangels]

i agree with jurasiks, bbpress should not be a wordpress plugin.

im thinking that future bbpress can be a new style of forum engine

in my head now i am think about “micro forum”

[jurasiks]

bbPress inside WordPress will be slow and heavy.

i liked bbPress for performance and simplicity

imho, wp goes to wrong “all-in-one-combine” future, but this is developers decision

i would like to make future with “NewEngine”

so, who wants to help – please write here

who not – please, ignore

p.s. i will leave this idea if i can install next bbPress versions without WP

p.p.s but i can’t?

[Gautam Gupta]

You really shouldn’t go that way, please.

[jurasiks]

Who can help us to keep bbPress as standalone CMS engine?

We will clear up all wp trash from code and will continue bbPress life as new engine.

Simpler, faster, more elegant

I am personally pretty excited about the bbPress plugin for WordPress. As someone has already mentioned there is already a number of other good standalone forum software out there that you could use and there is no reason that bbPress could carry on as a standalone forum as well as being a WordPress canonical plugin.

I have four sites built with WordPress and I have been wanting to add bbPress to each site for some time but the integration between the two has always put me off.

Anyone got any idea when the first version of the bbPress plugin will be out?

Hi gerikg,

can you post a link to your forum? Evtl. we can test it together.

On my forum i have at first also a blank page – there it was a problem with two plugins (one in bbPress, one in WordPress).

@psycheangels – thanks very much for the information. I eventually found my way to noease’s beautiful iNOVE WordPress theme at http://www.neoease.com/themes/ and the iNOVE look-alike BBPress template from Eric Barnes’s at http://ericlbarnes.com/projects/inove-for-bbpress/. I also found a really excellent suite of programs developed around the Carrington theme, with templates for WP, bbPress and mobile too. Really excellent all of them. But you know what, I still would prefer a plugin that allowed me to integrate and run bbPress in my own developed Thesis WP theme. That would be my choice in a perfect world.

Try the Easy Video Embed plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/easy-video-embed/

It enabled embedding videos like YouTube, Vimeo, Revver and others in bbPress 1.02, the latest version. Works in Firefox and IE. It is a new plugin, you can find it on the main page of the plugins list.

bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin.

[oli_75]

Hello,

I just uploaded the latest version of bbpress. When I click on install I receive a message “no valid header for plugin (Das Plugin hat keinen validen Header.”).

I am running WordPress 2.9.2 installed at hosteurope.

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe someone can give me an idea what’s going wrong here.

Thanks,

Oliver

Hello All!

There is an way to embed processing applets into bbpress forum. My idea is that the participants can be upload their applets in the forum posts.

thanks in advance

Does having separate WordPress and BBpress databases make calling a WP header from a BB page impossible?

[bramruiter1]

I’ve updated the layout of my forum last night and I ran into a few problems. I didn’t update bbPress from 0.9.0.2 because the Unread Posts plugin wouldn’t work. I have not changed anything internally, I have not updated the Unread Posts plugin, but even when I turn on my old template, it doesn’t seem to show that I have already read the topic in particular. It stays bold. And it also goes bold when I post in it myself.

Now I have read the plugin page, where someone said something about changing the login code because a certain code wasn’t called for, but that doesn’t seem to do the trick. I’m really lost here and since _ck_ has gone, no one seem to figure out how this thing works.

Other plugins that do the same just don’t seem to work either.

Please help.

Hi Bradcarters,

i don’t think this is the best solution to fix the original problem. It is just a “dirty” workaround. For me it seems to work.

But you can wait for the test and the answer from gerikg.

Markus

[gerikg]

::cough:: sorry something in my throat.

[Bradcarters]

Do we know if this was able to fix the problem?

[chrishajer]

I just committed that patch, so the fix should be evident here within 24 hrs. Please test and report back.

Oh … so stupid…!

in WordPress my German language file is named de_DE.mo in bbPress the language file is named de.mo. After the deep integration bbPress seems to search for a file named de_DE.mo in ‘my-languages’.

So just renaming the language files made my day

Markus

PS. hmpf…

[Anonymous User]

In the german bbpress board (http://support.bbpress.de/topic/installation-der-sprachdatei) i found for the language problem the following code:

// Load the default text localization domain.

if ( !(defined('DB_NAME')) ) { // Include localization the bbPress-way when WP is not running.

load_default_textdomain();

}

else {

$locale = get_locale();

$mofile = BB_LANG_DIR . "$locale.mo";

load_textdomain(‘default’, $mofile);

};

But this seems not to work with the new version.

There’s already a ticket #1233

[gerikg]

Awesome thank you I need to try it.

Dear bbPress.org Moderators:

If you’re going to implement “Subscribe to Topic” on this forum, please have some better spam-protection in place, so that I don’t have to get it in my Inbox.

Thanks! Love the feature, just not the implementation.
