I also think the serious lack of a good codex is killing potential enthusiasts/contributors. So I don’t mind building the codex for bbpress. It’s a needed feature. And should be like WP’s.

I’ll see you in the meet Wednesday.

@Kamil_D, can u tell me how did you do that? i wanna talk to you, please add me on yahoo or msn messenger ipunkbali [at] yahoo.com thx

[brucini]

i’d really like to rss feed a blog to the side bar of my forum

what code should i add to the frontpage.php where i have other html controlling the text?

or is there a better way?

http://theblackkeysfanlounge.com/forum/

[Michael]

I see. There is a thread somewhere here about that. They tried to get this result:

your.domain.com/<forum-name>/<topic-name>

I’m sure this will surface one day – it would be nice if it were a plugin that adds to the list of permalink types in the admin panel. I too will be implementing something like this. Nice thing about it is that Google will filter your result into a hierarchical display (breadcrumbs).

That type of thing will also increase crawling speeds.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

Thinking about this a bit more, eventually bbpress will be a plugin, no? So we won’t even need themes at all.

So creating a Sandbox theme would be a lot of work for something that would eventually be phased out.

[Kamil_D]

Yes, I know about it.

What I mean is that this kind of link: _http://www.example.com/forum/forum_name/topic_name/ is a little bit better for seo en much more beautiful than this one: _http://www.example.com/forum/topic/topic_name

And therefore this: _http://www.example.com/forum/forum_name/ instead of that: _http://www.example.com/forum/forum/forum_name

But my priority is to get faster indexed in Google so I do not worry much about it.

Well I don’t have this plugin installed!? is it normal!?

6 Login to your wordpress dashboard. Go to Plugins->Add New-> search for “bbPress Integration” it should be the first one. Install it and activate.

[fairytalehot]

Thank you everybody. I was able to fix everything by creating a different database and just uploading bbpress again. That turned out to be the fastest and the easiest way to fix evrything.

[grassrootspa]

@MrTrip:

I’m with you re: keeping bbPress standalone.

I do not want to have to install WordPress every single time I install bbPress.

[Null]

It has almost been a week, this doesn’t really add to the “we-are-reviving-bbPress” feeling. How hard can it be to copy-past and post some log?

[grassrootspa]

The Sandbox theme is awesome…great to see you working on this HSeatSleeper.

There was talk a while back about bundling Sandbox as a default WordPress theme. It would be great to see this happen and bbPress include a variation as well!

[grassrootspa]

I agree 100% with HSeatSleeper.

Gravatars works great with bbPress. Best of all the webmaster or editor does not have to be concerned about anything being uploaded to the server, security issues, etc.

[tides]

Well, I’m totally confused. I followed all the steps in gerikgs explaination. The links from my WP lead through to my forum…..but

bbpress doesn’t seem to bring the user logon details from the main site.

The bbpress is not inside the wordpress folder because wordpress is the main site.

any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

BB Press would work better as a plugin for wordpress.just my opinion.

@angrywhiteboy: All plugins are in the official repository, that’s because I haven’t post the links (and to prevent to be threated as spammer)

@tonicarr: I’ll have a look to the plugin. Thanks a lot

[agl666]

I’ve done like you explained.

First, I’ve exported all IDs into Excel, then fill out new IDs (exactly bigger than can be in WPMU base – starting from 10000), then I searched for duplicate emails in wp_users and bb_users, exported to Excel and changed new_IDs of duplicated users to IDs_from_WPMU (something like that .

Then i’ve created array $old=>$new

$change=array(

[tonicarr]

Hi All,

I am back on to bbPress and have decided to work at configuring my forum. I have read through the bbPress forum and blog but have not found a post regarding the best plugins. What are the top 5-10 plugins you would recommend to make the forum work efficiently. I know it depends on what you are trying to do, but there has to be a list with the best add on’s.

So far I have added the following:

• Bozo Users – Allows moderators to mark certain users as a “bozo”. Bozo users can post, but their content is only visible to themselves.
• Post Notification – Sends an Notification email if there’s a new post to an favorite topic.

  This plugin has some bugs.

• Simple Google Adsense
• Akismet

Also, is there a plugin / widget for WordPress that shows the activity on the forum?

Thanks for helping. I am looking forward to making bbPress a workable tool on my blog.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

What bbpress really needs is it’s “SANDBOX” theme. This was the groundbreaking wordpress theme that really took the platform to another level by giving themers a “clean slate” on which to work.

I recently updated Sandbox for wp 2.9 (http://selfevidenthotdogs.com/sandbox/) and have a mind to create something similar for bbpress. This will take some time, I’m no genius.

If someone else is working on this already, please let me know, we can work together on it.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

Yes sorry, I should have explained more.

I just did something similar with a single install of wp.

Keep in mind that when you use wp for user data, it will use all the ids in the wp_users table. When you click the option to use that db for user data, it doesn’t merge anything at all! So for example, if one user has an id of 5 in bbpress, when you use the wp db for user data whoever is 5 in that db suddenly gets the bbpress guy’s data.

So! To get your data into shape, what you need to do is map the bbpress guys to the wp guys. So 5 in wp should be the same guy in bbpress. You might need to change the id of that user in the bbpress db.

Also! there is a bbpress user metadata table, so be sure to change the id there, too.

This is how I tackled it. There might be an easier way, or some tool, but if there is, I couldn’t find it. I just did some SQL on the db directly to get it structured as I needed it, then turned on integration.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

Use Gravatar.com.

Support for which is built into wp and bbpress and a million other sites on the internet. I just went through this same thing: trust me and buy into the gravatar system, which may be kind of clunky but is far better than anything you can hack together.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Per https://wordpress.org/support/topic/350806 he wants a plugin that uploads for both bbPress and WordPress.
