Greetings all 
(I have removed the 888 from my user-name – I just couldn’t stand it anymore)
I hope someone can guide me or point me in the right direction here. In various attempts to understand how the bbPress plugin system works, I am trying to convert a few WordPress plugins into bbPress ones.
I’m starting off with “WP-Cumulus” as well as “Let It Snow”. I’m not sure, however, what to look out for. For example, what are the differences between WP and bbPress when it comes to adding extra admin and profile info.
What things should I look for while I go about doing this?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
gerikg: Good idea – we’d like these meetings to be as productive as possible. And you’re very welcome to attend on Wednesday. Looking forward to hearing your ideas.
Hey guys, sorry I missed the meeting. I’m glad you people are going forward on this. I just want to thank you. I’ll keep my suggestions and comments for the next meeting. I notice a lot of comments I made on the here were brought up in the chat. I will try to attend if you let me.
buddha trance, that’s just the most popular tags though, correct?

That’s just the top 80 tags, here.
bbpress IS NOT phpbb, so better to make 1.1 simple as possible, but CAPTCHA is needed for registrations.
and bbpress should stay STAND ALONE forum engine. imho.
I’m using the Open ID Plugin with 1.0.2 and it’s working fine.

what about the sql injections vulnerabilities
To be clear, that just removes the search box, or hides it from display if you choose to do it with CSS display:none;. People could still access the search function directly by accessing the URL http://www.example.com/bbpress/search.php?q=keyword. If you just want to reduce visual clutter, remove the code from your template as suggested by hatter.
1. What version of bbPress are you using?
2. Are you using a custom theme?
3. What plugins are you using and does disabling them allow this to work again?
4. Are you integrated with WordPress and if so what version?
There are no error logs created specifically by bbPress. Those logs would be dependent on your server or host configuration.
It’s probably not the CSS, but my guess is it’s something related to this specific setup. Maybe the language in use or the RTL CSS or integration with WordPress. bbPress does this by default when you type something that looks like a URL. Here I will just type something and bbPress will just linkify it: http://www.google.com (I typed www google com but with the periods in it)
bbpress as wordpress plugin?
I see … Probably BuddyPress is more important project … ? 
As far as I know, this is not possible in bbPress. It’s one way encrypted so it is difficult to reverse. bbPress will mail out a new password, or you can look at the hash in the database, but there’s no quick or easy way to unencrypt that, that I know of.
The bbPress.org website is going to be re-vamped in the coming future. The plugin directory may include a comprehensive filtering system at some stage.
I think you should suggest this in the current survey. Matt Mullenweg might want to know about it.

Hey all,
How do you port a wordpress theme to a bbpress theme? ( Not the usuall header and footer replacement. But with the use of the bbpress header and footer. )
Thanks for your help,

Hi!
Maybe it is a stupid question/idea
but is there a page that would list plugins /extensions to bbpress by version?
at the moment it is hit & miss If there was an index by version I imagine it would make life easier to all of us
what do you think?
Maybe I just have not seen it..
I would double check here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101 to make sure you have all the correct settings.
ahh… that’s 2:30 in the night here… 
Great! Looking forward to that!

I agree with Chrishajer. I didn;t know that bbPress does it without a plugin. This as I did not use my forum at all until I had some plugins installed (including bbcode).
@Chrishajer: I don’t think it would have anything to do with the CSS file. I’m sure there’s a file (I haven’t looked) that has the function that parses the post.

@Gautam, the next meetup on IRC will be Wednesday 16 December 2100 GMT irc.freenode.net #bbpress
When I build new web site, I need contents + forum most of time.
I wish bbpress is integrated with WP (which can be CMS) including WP theme.
Anyway, I love bbpress’s simplicity. It is best of all forum application.
