@tonicarr:
Haha, we must have been separated at birth!
RE: development activity and attention, your twitter remarks say it all. I know bbPress isn’t going to ‘die’ but it’s just so stagnant right now compared to BuddyPress and WordPress. It’s night and day.
Yeah, they are merging WP and WPMU. Smart idea in my humble opinion.
@tonicarr, what question are you asking that was unanswered?
@ grassrootspa and @all
I think you hit the nail on the head with BuddyPress, I have been asking that question and no one will comment. I don’t know much about it but there is a lot of energy swarming around BuddyPress. Go to twitter and checkout #BuddyPress, something new all the time, then check #bbpress and practically nothing. I think BuddyPress may be the way to go but I don’t know much about the forum aspect of it. From what I understand it is not longer only for WPMU.
@chengdu living – Try this!

I use it on a lot of my sites, and it’s excellent!
Hi,
I have a small problem 
Situation: I have a WordPress 2.9.1 installed / and bbPress 1.0.2 installed /forums/ of my website.
Problem: When I’m logging on the WP Admin and I go after to bbPress admin I’m redirected to /forums and not /forums/bb-admin/ but I’m connected to bbPress…
But if I do the opposite: I’m logging to the bbPress admin and go to the WP Admin all it’s work.
Have you an idea?
Thanks a lot for your help 
@all:
I don’t know how else to say this: I’m losing interest in bbPress.
Wondering how easy BuddyPress is to pickup…
Now, for something really cool…is there some magic php code that will let us test for whether we’re executing bbpress or wordpress, and make this function call conditional? Like:
if (we’re under the wordpress directory)
get_bloginfo(etc)
else if (we’re under the bbpress directory)
bb_get_option(etc)
end if
This would be extremely helpful in developing robust modules that are used by both wp and bbpress.
Thanks!
I’m just posting the information in case someone can pick out the signs of life there. Those are the only places I know to go for information. The blog here was never a source for much information. The bbdev mailing list used to be useful, but nothing much happened there since Nov. You can look at closed tickets in trac, and you can look at the code being committed. If there is any other place to get information, please post it.
Based on all those things, there’s not much happening with bbPress, to answer the initial question.
@ Gautam
This was [sarcasm]Well i’ll leave it there, i’m sure i’ll be told to relax soon enough[/sarcasm]. I know it´s not all good in here ;O)
I have resolved it . My client upload two copies of one plugin that the plugins conflicts with itself .
Any way , Thanks for your help
@bingsterloot
It’s not. No IRC meetups since 2 weeks, no looking upon the tickets in the trac, no major commits in the past recent days!
Without “concern trolling”, the major issue i have with BBpress is that we have no idea what’s going on most of the time. When we asked what was going on, we were told to read the blog. When the blog goes quiet, we’re told to read the chat logs directly. Now they’ve gone quiet and now we’re told to look at the code being submited.
It’s really lovely of Chrishajer to post these links, and it’s very insightful (thank you chris), but its also a bit of a nightmare for us not knowing what’s going on.
Far too many useful bits of information, or worse – announcements, are made halfway down random conversations. BBpress being a WP plugin, was thrown in to an IRC chat via Matt. Obviously, we’re still waiting for that to be posted on the forum, or given it’s own blog post etc. (only been 6 weeks Kev, calm down, only been 6 weeks).
Look, i’m not moaning, really, i’m having a great day here, but in my opinion there were some issues that plagued Sam’s time here, and i had hoped that some of these were being resolved. Communication is a big one. I wrote in my post: How to help us, help BBpress… last January that the Wizard of Oz treatment was getting us nowhere.
Well i’ll leave it there, i’m sure i’ll be told to relax soon enough.
Hi
Use this one for BBpress
require(‘bbpress/bb-load.php’);
$user = bb_login( @$_POST, @$_POST, ” );
Making an own background in BBpress is not as easy as it sounds.
I have an image that is locked in the bottom right corner. But it wont show until I place this div in the right file:
<div id=”michael-j-pic”></div>
This needs to be in the body of the index file. It has to be in the wrapper, and in firebug, it looks like this:
http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/5281/bilde4e.png
See? Between Body-id and Wrapper. But which file is this?
I have tried to access the log and there is no error log on this issue .
The programm exit noramlly ,just output nothing
I have tried to echo chars at the botom of the bb-config.php and the chars has been output with out any problem
Thank you , any help is apprecitated
Here is a patch posted by me to mass-delete users, you may use it – https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1202
I have tried to add the require at the second right afer <?php
here it is
<?php
require(‘../wp/wp-blog-header.php’);
/**
* The base configurations of bbPress.
*
* This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix,
* Secret Keys and bbPress Language. You can get the MySQL settings from your
* web host.
*
* This file is used by the installer during installation.
*
* @package bbPress
*/
I also tried the last line , neither of them works 
Hi sanraj,
Just put the following code into your login action and give the right path for the bb-load.php file and enjoy
Here is script:-
require(‘bbpress/bb-load.php’);
$user = bb_login( @$_POST, @$_POST, ” );
I want to add a new field into profile page.
I figured that out how to add a new field via functions.bb-core.php but I couldnt find how to add a textarea.
I integrated WP and bbPress and I need to show the biography of the user on their profile page.
I meant to post this link as well. You can see the code that’s been checked in by browsing the revisions.
https://trac.bbpress.org/log/trunk?rev=2401
There was a big chunk of time where nothing was committed from revision 2377 on 24 Sept 2009 until 2382 on 22 December 2009. Here’s all the code committed since sambauers left.
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset?old=2401%40trunk&new=2377%40trunk
I think the only reason people are hanging on is because the vast majority of us are aware of the beauty of WordPress, and we’re convinced that bbPress can become a similar product – unfortunately there isn’t an existing piece of software that’s like the WordPress of forums. There isn’t a piece of software that has a simple core, that allows you to write an index.php file with ‘if has threads while has threads the thread’, and that is exactly what bbPress needs to become. I’m not bothered if it becomes a WordPress plugin, because WordPress isn’t really a lot of hassle to install, and I already know how to make a WordPress theme. I just want it to hurry up. I’m tired of working with phpBB3.
Bump: To add support to an important issue by bringing it to the front of the discussion forum and reiterating the comments above with no added value.
Deep integration with WordPress may not have been the intention of the BBpress developers but there is demand for it, and that will only continue to grow as the WordPress userbase grows. The fact that “most” deep integration works – be that intentionally through the efforts of the BBpress team or unintentionally by luck of BBpress’s coding structure – gives the assumption that popular WordPress Plugins that don’t work will in time… PageMash is an example of a bread and butter Plugin for commercial/professional WordPress sites.
Out of curiosity how many users in this community have been introduced to BBpress through WordPress, I’m sure it would be available through a poll or in the referral logs for this site.
(I hope you liked my personal definition of bump, I’m a kitten killer)
