Assuming that $mydata_curpage is the current page number (starting from 1):

bb_paginate_links( array( 'total' => ceil( $mydata_count / $mydata_pagelimit ), 'current' => $mydata_curpage ) )

You’ll have to do the actual pagination yourself, but that’s as simple as an array_slice.

Thank you Matt! Good news from you! Thanks to all.

Hi,

I have the data, but how to use it with bbpress’ pagination? Where to put the data?

I have for excample:

$mydata = the array with rows from the database that gets displayed

$mydata_count = total rows counted

$mydata_pagelimit = total rows that must be shown each page

Is there any way to hook this into bbpress pagination at all? Or do I have to write one myself?

Kind regards,

[Matt Mullenweg]

That’s what we’re doing, right here. Don’t worry.

That database host name does not look correct. That might be the web host name (a FTP server over HTTP?) but I would guess the database host name is actually something different, maybe some variation of that.

If bbPress can’t connect to the database, there’s usually a simple error in the connection details. There’s not much more to it than that.

I’m saddened to see development of bbPress stagnate since summer. After glimpsing bbPress a couple of years ago, i was enamored with the visual appeal, design and speed. This led me to migrate my fairly large board over to bbPress from older inferior software earlier this year. I dont want to see bbPress die! It’s got mojo and can be strengthened.

Pretty please, update me on how we can carry bbPress into 2010 and beyond as a dynamite communication tool. Thank-you.

[arpowers]

ya my fault

not used to the way BBPress saves options yet.. haha

[jackey]

You’re probably right, and it is all related as well. Andrew Powers reported me he fixed things in his “iBlogPro Forum” theme. I’m waiting for his update.

Thanks for the help! Will report back.

Later…

[Matt Mullenweg]

Groovy. This is the fun part. A merry band of hackers trying to change the web, or at least our small slice of it.

I’m going to send everybody an email so we can start up a discussion and let’s also try for an IRC meetup next week.

MT reached out to Sam for the redesign files he was working on as well, and we can decide what the priorities are for the redesign when we chat.

[Ben L.]

What exactly are you trying to click on?

[jimgozieo]

I’ve just installed bbpress 1.0.2 and when I go into the forum managemnet page (in the admin section), I have to say the point and click function for editing the forums is a nightmare to use. You have to click a hundred times before the point and click appears. I only have this problem on the forum management page – the rest of the bbpress brilliant.

[Marius-]

Well, you have the icecream truck Ben L. haha, just kidding. I agree with you.

[Ben L.]

I don’t understand your logic. BuddyPress is a plugin for WPMU, which is a multi-blog version of WordPress. bbPress is a forum program. Not a plugin for anything, just a standalone forum.

Merging BuddyPress and bbPress would be like merging a car company and a grocery store. You can drive a car to a grocery store and carry groceries in it, but integration is as close as you can get to merging them.

Besides, no other major forum software (phpBB, IPB, VBulletin, SMF, etc) have a social network built in or are a plugin for a blogging program.

To save you some time, the code is <?php topic_page_links(); ?>

[Marius-]

No then it doesnt matter, if you dont know what you’re agreeing to, it’s just another obstacle in the way of registering. BBPress have been smart to remove it.

Registering should be as easy as possible, in an ideal world, it shouldn’t be required at all actually. Hopefully this Facebook integration and Open ID stuff will popularise one day.

[chavesvonga]

I registered just fine with bbPress too.

[chavesvonga]

Just want to say hi to everyone. I’m a new member to bbpress forums

[Dennis]

My name is Dennis Morhardt, the man behind the german communities of BuddyPress and WordPress MU. (For you Matt, the guy from the WordCamp in Germany). I think bbPress 2.0 sould the release with the best WordPress integration, maybe as plugin or a combination of plugin and stand-a-lone version with the possibile to use normal wordpress themes. But my focus is internationalization and localization and I would like to help

[Ben L.]

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-in-my-plugins-not-installing#post-61075 <- there it is.

https://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/1019/no-backslash.patch <- and there’s the fix.

(The file is bb-includes/class.bb-dir-map.php)

Ever since I started using BBpress, I’ve seen users like you constantly nag about Buddypress. My impression is that this is a forum made by someone else, it’s another program, and I don’t understand the need to constantly speak about it here?

Is there something I’m missing? Why is Buddypress relevant here at all?

[Null]

Some just want it what it is: a FORUM, no fancy community options, no wordpress, just a stand alone forum. If this forum would require wordpress to function or buddypress, I would ditch this great peace of software. It would get too bloated IMHO.

1 of the great things about bbPress is that its small and clean. Want to add stuff, install a plugin. You can make it function the way you want it.

[hpguru]

gnawph THANK YOU! Very good plugin without stupid emotions pop-up.

[Sven Lehnert]

I really start to love the idea of merging bbpress and buddypress into one software.

Forums are already community software and need most of the buddypress parts.

Other bbpress plugins which offer simalar functionality will anyway fall behind the powerful buddypress solutions.

I think there are just positive effects to bring these two together.

The Buddypress community is young and has a lot of power. I think there are many people just want to jump into the project at the day it will be part of buddypress 100% and not half adapted like now.

I have the feeling the bbpress community is suffering from frustrated people, who were expecting much more from the project.

Now there is Buddypress and brings all together with new dynamic and a positive developing feeling.

Why bbpress not let participate from it and become together a brilliant community software?

In my dreams I see wp and wpmu being one and bbpress and buddypress merged to one wp community component .

What does the bbpress community think about it?

Looking for feedback

Sadness – Since you quoted me, I wanted to make sure to correct the record in a few places:

Matt must care about bbPress – he wrote the initial version himself!

http://ma.tt/2004/12/bbpress/

Sam was not working for free when he programmed v 1 – he was a paid employee of Automattic from Nov 07 to August 09:

Just wanted to make sure that any inaccuracies weren’t left uncorrected…

@sadness

No need for speculation, hearsay and playing the blame game.

Posts like this do not help matters.

@michael888

If you can’t wait for the WP/WPMU merge for BuddyPress, use Mingle, a social networking plugin by Blair Williams that works on regular WordPress. It’s already quite stable for such a young plugin.

Good news is you can still use your existing bbPress as well
