The link that @Michael R gave is for previous version of BuddyPress. (Good Resource!)

But I see you want for the latest version 1.2+

@Gautam is right about installing bbPress within BuddyPress or if you already have one, then you can link that too (I haven’t tried that yet but it should work easily).

And if you want to run a standalone version with BuddyPress for some reason (may be because the limit that forums are within group only), then you are out of luck as nothing exists for now.

[Gautam Gupta]

If you have BuddyPress installed on WordPress, then just install the bbPress component. BP would automatically handle everything.

[Michael]

There is this one: http://manojkumar.org/buddypress-theme-for-bbpress/

Not sure which version of BuddyPress it originates from, however.

I have also released a new smiley pack for bb-smilies, you might find it quite useful.

[Kevin Ryman]

That’s amazing! Do you mind sharing that bbPress theme?

[kevinator]

OK, we fixed it. I’ll find out details and post later. See how it looks here: http://www.cwnp.com/forums

Our purpose in doing it is twofold:

1. privacy/security, obvious reasons

2. we just implemented the Leaderboard plugin found on bbpress.org so we can have a participation contest. Leaderboard by default shows username, which in our case is email.

Bottom line is we also require “nickname”, so we’ve used that instead.

Now, anyone know how to make Leaderboard a widget?

[Chris Hajer]

This is no good if you’re trying to hide the email address:

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chrishajergmailcom

Shows a display name (Chris Hajer) and next to it, in parenthesis, my username which is my email address. So even though I selected a display name, the email address is still displayed in my profile, and in the profile link, if you think about what characters were stripped out.

I’ve followed your instructions to the T – I’m getting the issue where logging into one system logs you out of the other.

I am using WP 2.9.2 (not MU) and bbPress 1.0.2.

Some noted things:

– in the wp-admin/options.php page, there is no secret_auth_salt variable

– the bbPress integration plugin only generated one line of code ( define(‘COOKIEAUTH’, ‘/’); ) rather than Brevica’s 4 statements

Everything else looks normal as per your instructions.

Other possibly useful info:

forum – http://monucs.aicsa.org.au/forums/

blog – http://monucs.aicsa.org.au/

running PHP 4.4.8/MySQL 5.0.77 – these can’t be changed

Heya,

I really liked the new Vanilla 2 theme, but after 4 hours or trying to get it to install with NGINX, I moved onto bbpress.

I like the simplicity of bbpress, but was hoping for a snazzier theme. So I ported over the Vanilla 2 theme to bbpress.

I think it’s a nice example of where bbpress can go if it maybe sheds some of the legacy tabular layout.

This is bbpress 1.02

Cheers,

The tricky part is that the username is usually in the profile url… like here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/johnhiler

So even if you required Display Names, the email might be visible in the profile URL.

But I’ve seen where you can make the profile URL use numbers instead:

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/150000

Maybe that’d be doable as a workaround?

[Jim]

OK, did a Google search for 755 permissions and found this page:

http://www.elated.com/articles/understanding-permissions/

Changes my permissions in my FTP and suddenly and quite magically the themes appear!!!! Thanks for you help!

Jim

[Jim]

Hey Chris, I don’t know what they are, that’s just what they’re called, I don’t believe I had anything to do with the naming. Can you tell me how to change or check to see if I have 755 permissions turned on? Thanks for the help Chris!

Jim

[agwag]

Thanks! Will give it a try.

[chrishajer]

What are these “user” and “core” directories? bbPress themes you create should be in a my-templates directory. The my-templates directory should have 755 permissions.

[Jim]

Hey all, I am trying to install some themes for my bbpress/wordpress site and when I go and install the theme files to my-themes all I get in the “available themes” page are blank themes with just the names showing, and if I try and activate it, the site is just blank. I have attached a shot, or a link to a screen shot of what I am seeing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! And by the way, thanks for all the help all ready, this site has helped me get my bbpres site running on the same DB as my wordpress!

Replace all your existing files with the trunk download. It’s not a diff or a patch, it’s just a complete testing version of the software.

[agwag]

For the absolute noob – how do we implement the trunk version?

Does it just get unzipped into the htdocs folder? Does it replace the v1.0 files downloaded from the stable release? Or is complementary to those files?

Thanks for any help.

Hope that helps!

Sorry I haven’t found a plugin. I am searching for one.

But Your post should read

---

“I want the bbpress theme to be a custom one, but needs the default theme to be available for some selected categories only. Is there a plugin that allows me to use specific themes for specific categories? “

[ajithkpunnoose]

I need to know what the different types of users : Key-Master, Administrator, Member etc can do on the bbpress forums and topics. I searched for about an hour and can’t find a suitable answer. Any post or link will help.

[Billy Wilcosky]

You what would also work, if there was a topic description plug in. Some forums let you post a title & a short description below that, then your message. I’m surprised bbpress doesn’t already have this type of plug in.

[kevinator]

Similar request here: by default, anyone on any bbPress forum can click on anyone else’s profile and see their email address. Big privacy/security issue. How can you hide/mask all user’s email addresses?

[myselfv1]

i’ve reinstalled bbPress 5 times and still having the same error

[56alifar]

Already got it, this function was already integrated in the sidebar widget. See: http://www.jahw.nl
