yes…please see my other post, we have to get everyone of one mind and working toward the same ends. Now is not the time to give up, people always come and go.

The whole thmese issue needs addressing.

1. Laid out in plain english on this site how to integrate your Wp theme to BBpress. I just tried a version on someone elses blog and ended up with a blank page, so put it back how it was!!

2. A The repository on this site, now!. All the themes in one place. If necessary a section for free and anaother for premium

I just checked out Simplepress and it looks horrible.

That look is thee exact reason I chose BBpress instead. There was nothing simple about SimplePress.

Doesn’t WordPress.org use BBPress? Though I can’t find it credited anywhere… if they do – thats a good sign?

I just made a post about it on WordPress.org, and when I launched the forum, I bragged about the BBPress software on the mainsite of mine. I want BBPress to live – please!!!

[Marius-]

I just want to say that I depend HEAVILY on BBpress now. I’ve had bbpress forum running for the past few months, and I downloaded it because it had alot of promise.

If you guys are going to ditch BBPress, then tell me there is a way for me to transfer all userdata to another forum software? With users keeping their names and passwords. I can’t loose all this I have built up.

[Marius-]

My BBPress forum has gotten quite popular. It’s in constant use every day, and I have gotten alot of young kids using it. Kids as young as eight years old.

Sometimes these kids post just to post, and alot of messages consists only of a few letters. I want to put a stop to this. Is there some way I can demand that a post should atleast contain 30 letters, or atleast ten words?

Please help me out.

RE: ‘Extend’, before Sam left he was redoing this site.

See: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/sneak-peek-at-bbpressorg-20

It’s a real shame he left before the new one was up…

[arpowers]

coincidentally, we’re launching a BBpress ‘addon’ to our WP themes.

http://www.pagelines.com/demos/iblogpro/forum/

They aren’t stand alone, but I think BBP works best in concert with WP anyway.

[arpowers]

Just put out a new theme based on WordPress for one of our ‘pro’ WP themes.

Would love the feedback of the BBP community.

Oh and i just wanted to add on this ck thing. People dont’t donate things that easily, and many of us are searching for something for nothing, but you were obviously disheartened. I have run a mac support site in different form for years, using different forums and its been hacked (lost thousands of posts) derided and the donation button clicked once or twice, there are bigger, slicker better sites, but I like to think people still use my site because I don’t look down my nose at anyone and keep it simple.

I would ask you from the heart, put your site back up and don’t give up…hey I don’t even know you but a little research tells me you have put alot in. You may think its time to cut your losses, on the other hand it might also be time to promote a clean simple forum.

AND beleive me I dont see a lot of promotion going on outside of the circle. If everyone who uses bbpress had a blog and did an article “the best forum software” a little blurb and put bbpress at the top of a a list of 5 lets say bbpress vb, smf, phpbb and a.n.other board….instant promotion. People are setting up forums all the time but dont know which software to use. I found bbpress by accident and am using smf at present but transferring data as we speak….main problem right now is where are the themes?

Why is this starting to remind me of XOOPS cms

[Macmenddotcom]

There is much discussion on these boards on where bbpress is going, reminds me a bit of simailar stuff at XOOPS cms. However one sure sign on these matters is the lack of available themes. Where is a themes repository? Because thats what is needed. Did I miss something?

‘Extend’ surely doesn’t just mean plugins it means the GUI, the way things look, but all I can find is plugins. Or maybe someone can point it out.

[kriskl]

it is sad news indeed

few months ago, I have paid some developers to convert the site from phpbb to bbpress. except into 1.0 version so many plugins were not updated, and new forum didnt go on line,

and we were waiting for some movement on bbpress and plugins front..

it looks like time & money was wasted

Maybe, can anyone suggest a viable alternative to bbpress? so we could have a deep integration of wpmu with forums & buddypress

of course, there has to exist some converters from phpbb…. I have looked and found NO alternative

[Ben Huson]

Definitely don’t want to see BBPress fall by the wayside so if I can do anything to help, I will.

I have done a couple of BBPress implementations alongside wordpress, mainly theming and small tweaks, but it’s fair to say at the moment my main knowledge is based around WordPress theme and plugin development.

Happy to contribute in any way, wether it’s minor core patches, front end design/coding, or just adding documentation to a codex etc.

[batarista]

Dear All,

I’m making a first-time installation of bbPress-1.0.2.zip on localhost, following the instructions at http://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/

I unzipped to wwwrootbbpress, browsed to the installation script “Welcome to the bbPress installer”, created the MySQL database, and for simplicity, skipped WordPress integration.

However, at the final step “Site settings”, when I press the “Save site settings” & “Complete the installation” buttons, I receive the following error…

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 98304 bytes) in F:wwwrootbbpressbb-includesbackpressclass.bp-sql-schema-parser.php on line 170

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

My server is WAMP5 on WinXP; it already serves up a WordPress blog (I’m in “learn about blogs & fora mode”).

Many thanks in advance :>)

We’re interested in helping (PageLines.com)

Tons of experience with WP and BBPress Addons for our themes due out shortly

[chrishajer]

You should post here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-out-with-bbpress

Or contact Matt Mullenweg at Automattic.

[arpowers]

We might be interested in working to improve BBPress (PageLines)…

Who would we need to talk to?

[Justin Tadlock]

I’ll try to help out in any way I can. I mentioned in another topic here that bbPress needs a Codex, so I’m all for volunteering some of my time to work on documenting functions and such. I’d even help out with some inline documentation of the code too (though I’m not as familiar with it as WP).

Most of the work I’ve done with bbPress is for my own use here:

http://themehybrid.com/support

I’ve dabbled in bbPress plugin development, but most of the work I do is with themes.

[buddha-trance]

This is all so confusing. I will use bbPress as long as possible (keeping in mind the security issues) and really hope that it will continue to grow. It’s such an elegant platform and a perfect match for WordPress.

I find it odd that it would die like this… and WP is still using it, though I’m sure we’ll all miss _ck_’s great knowledge and contribution. Oh my…

[buddha-trance]

I just saw that on bbshowcase.org too… oh no!!!!!

Also, I thought that Sam left, not that there was a “removal”….

This is all so odd and sad.

bbPress is a great platform and the true logical companion to WordPress as of now.

Let’s keep it alive and thriving.

[chandersbs]

Wow

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.

[shansta]

ok.. will try thanks.

I can’t seem to edit/delete posts in WP anymore… Does anyone know if having admin username set to administrator/keymaster affects this or not?

[arpowers]

What is the main alternative to BBPress?

It seems like the logical choice for WP sites that would like to add a forum…

Considering that, why hasn’t it gained more popularity and support?

[Ben L.]

For me, it’s bb-login.php?action=logout. I think your theme might have the link hardcoded. If so, change the link to <?php bb_logout_link(); ?>.

[hatter]

This is usually due to a cookie issue. Clear your cookies and then try to login / logout.
