So I just want to show registed users in footer like that
Total resisted users : e.g 500
plz guide
This is a random question, but is this “Topic Views” plugin (“http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-topic-views/#post-275″) required to display ‘Topic Views” on one’s front page, etc? Or is there some sort of output code I am missing?
We can display Topic Voices without a plugin using code built into the Core.
The reason for my question is this, if a plugin is required, shouldn’t the “Topic Views” code be built into the Core as well? It’s a rather useful feature and seems to be used on tons of bbPress sites…
I’m glad it worked I’d probably want to find a way to enhance the plugin, but I don’t think I will as bbPress is soon to be changed. We had our first-ever IRC last night, and some major developments are going to come out of it – including things that have not yet been mentioned. So there’d be no point developing a plugin for an old version of bbPress.
@Taeo: That sounds very interesting! And you have an excellent forum!
If you ever make it a stable plugin – please let us know. I, for one, would make huge use of it! I did mention how I my bbPress to be a community site at the recent IRC.
Great work!
glad to see that there are still some committed people to the project.
if you need theme just google the keyword. you will find more bbpress theme which not showed on official bbpress site
Mine is at http://www.taeoui.com/forums
Theme matches the rest of the site.
I’m also working on another project with BBPress to create a gallery where users submit their work in a placer where others can view, rate, and comment. So far I’ve been able to achieve all of the functionality in the form of plugins (both my own and modifications of existing ones) however I had to modify the core to make the register page look nicer (why is there a template for that?!). It’s been a great learning process and BBPress, like WordPress, is great to work with.
Just finished reading up…ecstatic to see this chat.
Random thoughts (from someone who has been periodically messing with this for a year and still learning the ropes):
-Don’t like the idea of eliminating bbPress’s stand alone ability and REQUIRING it be a WP plugin (some of us just want to run stand-alone forums without having to install WordPress first.) Prefer to keep it as a separate project.
-Love the idea of adding new OPTIONAL features to the bbPress core (bbPress 1.1) . Here are my top 6:
(1) Optional TinyMCE addition
(2) Ability to edit plugins and templates from within bbPress admin
(3) Ability to add widgets to certain areas without having to mess with the template (will be handy for easily editing ‘sidebar’ stuff from the admin page rather than having to play with the template code each time
(4) More Avatar/Gravatar options, such as easily adjusting their size on Profile pages and including instructions on how to get a Gravatar built into the ‘edit profile’ pages. People want to customize their forum character. Make it easier for them to do it right out of the box: display a click-able link to Gravatar.com!
(5) To combat spam registrations, build optional ‘Human Test’ and ‘Terms of Service’ registration page features (which can be further modified and tweaked by plugins/user modifications). I’m sure everyone else there has noticed ‘Spam’ user signups. A built-in human test and/or TOS box to check will go a long way in eliminating them!
(6) Better bozo management notification on the admin page (have numbers pop-up like for new comments and plugins in case a legitimate user has been marked as a bozo. I’ve had this happen a couple times because I didn’t check the bozo list.
-Pleased to hear bbPress.org design will be revamped and include Codex
-THRILLED to see folks from the message board helping bbPress.org and the overall project in various areas
-In summary, EXCITED about bbPress 1.1
Much time has gone into properly integrating our cookies, themes, and all.
Hoping to offer some sort of files download with instructions sometime soon so that future users don’t have to go through all the pain and suffering that we did to accomplish all of this. Stay tuned in this thread!

Good news. There was a meetup on IRC today, and here’s a transcript of what was discussed. The idea of bbpress turning into a plugin for WordPress was thrown around, which would be awesome.

We just had our first ever IRC meetup for the new bbPress, here are the logs, sorry if they’re a little rough. If you’d like to join in next time check out the Getting Involved page.

Thanks for the replies. I have faith in BBPress…it’s a very stable and lightweight product so it has a strong base to build from. If it can achieve even a fraction of what wordpress has, I think many people will be happy. I hope to contribute to the best of my ability as well, and I think I will be sticking with BBPress.
Cheers
There’s also PunBB and FluxBB (fork of PunBB) as alternatives.
Both are also lightweight and actively in development.
Although if you’re using WordPress for your main blog/CMS, you should think about sticking with bbPress for your forum.
I am looking for a tool to get more members for my forum.
Is there a new “Open ID-Plugin” or for a login possibility with facebook username and password?
I know that there is an old “Open ID-Plugin” but it’s not updated for the current bbpress version.
The file should already exist in your bbPress Root.
Mine looks like this:

Most of those should already be there. I have separated the two rules at the top so you can see how it is done for pages.
If your site has a forum directory (ie the forum does not reside on the top-level of your site, then you should remove the “devstation/”. If it does, then replace “devstation/” with your forum’s directory.

and also tell me where i put this .htaccess file because i’ve integrated my wordpress and bbpress
so where should i put this file… wordpress root or bbpress root?
Hi Raize
bbPress is currently in that stage. There are a number of us who will be contributing to the new bbpress so that it will be a mature package.
See this link for more information about the starting steps of this make-over: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-out-with-bbpress
bbPress will take a while before it gets on it’s feet again – once it does, it’ll be great – competing with the likes of phpBB and SMF (vBulletin is out of the question as it is too ‘full’ of junk.)
I highly suggest using bbPress. I’m using it here: http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation. As you can see, the quality is good and it caters for most things. Once bbPress starts getting better, upgrading will be easy. Also, if you have a WordPress Blog, you’ll be able to integrate the two. bbPress is aimed at simplicity and good operations.
Michael
I’ve been looking for a solid forum software for quite some time now. vBulletin has a lot of features, but it’s too bloated…it’s “Web 1.0”
I explored Vanilla, EsoTalk, and now bbPress. I thought bbPress would be a good option, but it seems like the developer community has completely abandoned it over the past year. There are no themes, no plugins, and barely any updates to the core forum. As I kept looking for themes, I found this on bbShowcase:
The bbPress Showcase has been discontinued.
The removal of Sam Bauers and the halting of bbpress.org 2.0
was a clear and final sign that there is no interest in allowing
bbPress to become a mature, robust program and community.
By now bbPress 1.5 could have been in alpha but instead
bbPress development has been deliberately stagnated,
which should be a very alarming warning to everyone.
In addition, bbShowcase had only six donations in 2009,
which indicated to me there was no interest in my work.
My code will remain on bbpress.org as open source GPL
for those that wish to use it, however I caution you to
consider bbPress’s lack of leadership before continuing to use it.
Now I’m back at square one again. Not knowing which forum software to use.
It wasn’t closed accidentally; I closed it intentionally. Since you’ve posted a way to be contacted, there’s not need for the discussion to continue here. If people are interested, they can contact you outside the forum.
(I had already posted this but got accidentally closed it, so resubmitting)
I would like a quote on integrating WordPress, bbPress, and Memberwing membership system.
To see what I need —
1)Go to http://internet101.biz/wordpress-how-to and join the site (upper right “Free registration for premium content”)
2)Login and then go to the Forum http://internet101.biz/forums . You will be logged in but won’t be able to post because there is no bbPress role defined for Memberwing “Bronze member”.
What I want is for bbPress “member” role to be assigned from Memberwing “Gold member”.
Write to me directly from http://everymanmarketing.com/contact/. I would expect this a 1 or 2 hour job.
Marc
Thanks – I feel like an idiot. I really need to explore the bbPress core a little more.
