I believe this plugin should cover that situation?

There’s a forum permissions plugin here – I’ve used it on a number of bbPress installs, and it is really great!

bbPress is not a forum plugin for WordPress; it’s its own separate program.

What are the basic features of a forum you’d like to see? Let us know, and we can help steer you in the right direction!

[thezachperson31]

I’m looking for a good forum plugin for WordPress, and bbPress seems like a good choice. The main thing I like about bbPress is its simplicity. Dead-simple to use, with no confusing toolbars to intimidate users. However, aside from installing numerous plugins, it lacks many of the basic features of a forum. In my view, if I’m spending more effort to get something to work as well as another solution, I’ll go with the alternative.

The forum will only be used for basic discussion, so advanced functionality is not needed, but its helpful and attractive to include a few anyway. Keeping it easy and intuitive yet functional for first-time forum users is key.

Right now I’m leaning towards bbPress, but do you have any additional suggestions?

[rb-cohen]

I’m thinking of creating a forum permission plugin until it becomes a part of bbPress officially. Before I start, I was wondering whether a similar plugin already exists? From a search of these forums, and on Google, there is nothing out there that will allow somebody to limit posts by user group.

Is this because nobody has tried yet, or because its impossible?

[chrishajer]

Are you using a default theme, and what plugins are you using? What version of bbPress and is it integrated with WordPress (and the version there too if so)?

[jefferisp7]

Yeah, having trouble with W-P Forums. But not ready to start over the entire installation from scratch, which I would have to do I think with bbPRess…

I’m looking for these features in WP: User registrations required for posts in forums, the ability to add images to forum posts, and possibly a link to a user image gallery…

Got any ideas? Or do I need to go back to joomla or drupal?

Thanks

Jeff

bbPress is its own standalone program, similar to how WordPress is its own standalone program. It’s definitely not just a plugin to WordPress… although there are a few WP plugin forum plugins! Sounds like you’re already playing around with one of them.

[jefferisp7]

Hi folks Something that is most basic that is not quite spelled out on the home page. Is bbpress a plugin to a standard WP site, or a REPLACEMENT for a WP site? As I read the install instructions, it seemed to be a total replacement and I’ve already got my WP site up and running. I was just looking for better forum software to add than the W-P forums which don’t seem to allow image attachments…

Thanks for your help. I am using a custom template. But can you tell me where I would find it in the bbpress template and then I might be able to move it over to my template?

Hello !

I’ve found the plugin bbLaTeX, but the links don’t seem to work …

Do you know another LaTeX plugin for bbPress ( something that just replaces “[TEX]latex code[/TEX]” by an image with the URL : http://server/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?etc… ) ?

Thanks !

[fifthhouse]

I would like to display the number of “voices” at the top of my forums, like in these bbpress support forums. My bbpress forums currently don’t do this, and I am wondering if this is something I can add?

[Elias]

I wrote a detailed description of the problem in german language — ich habe das Problem ausführlich in deutscher Sprache beschrieben:

http://bbpress.tamagothi.de/2009/11/19/seltsamer-fehler-login-geht-nicht/

[Elias]

There is a problem in your bb-config.php, most probably in the first line.

Normally, HTTP-requesting bb-config.php should not create any output. But try

http://uni-bonn-medienwissenschaft.de/forum/bb-config.php

and see the strange “”. I cannot get, what the problem exactly is, but it is the bbPress configuration file for sure. After login, bbPress tries to set a cookie. This is done by sending an HTTP header. But if there is any output before the PHP header () invocation, PHP sends a generic header, which lets the cookie fail. Result: you can not login.

Ich hoffe, es hilft ein bisschen — und sorry für mein mieses Englisch

Oh, ich vergaß — Oh, I forgot

If you want a german language file for bbPress 1.0.2 (with the formal “Sie”), take my translation — Wenn du eine deutsche Sprachdatei für bbPress 1.0.2 haben möchtest, nimm meine Übersetzung.

I had the problem when I tried to log in. Sounds like something with the integration is not working maybe? Invalid key or something?

I just installed bbpress, it went mostly fine, I had to write the security keys myself to the config though. It’s supposed to be integrated with our WP blog.

Our bbPress is here: http://uni-bonn-medienwissenschaft.de/forum

PHP info is here: http://uni-bonn-medienwissenschaft.de/php_info.php

These are the errors I get when trying to login:

bbPress apparently recognizes when I’m logged into the blog and shows me as logged in on the forum as well. However trying to access the Admin area gives me another error:

Any help would be appreciated.

We are creating a wordpress website which requires secure forums for schools.

How it needs to work is: school forums will be set up for individual schools.

If you are parent and want to see YOUR SCHOOL forum – you will need to

a) click on your school from a drop down list of available school forums

b) register for this school forum

c) An administrator will confirm your registration (depends if you answered security question correctly)

d) From there you can happily view information (which may be confidential) on the school forum page and post/view information as well

FEEDBACK FROM DEVELOPER:

Simplepressforum – doesn’t allow us to do the above

We then Installed the WordPress MU and had a look at buddypress.

The type of functionality that we are looking for is not available in WordPress MU. Buddy Press is entirely build on the facebook concept, and not geared towards groups as we are looking for.

A solution might be to create a custom forum with all the functionality that is needed and just include it in an iframe in wordpress. Downside to this will be that the there will be 2 back-ends for managing the website, Word Press and the Forums.

========

Really don’t want to go custom design … I really though something like this would be simple to set up … excuse the pun …

Can anybody help?

[katastimata]

I suppose that the ideal for me would be a bridge between bbpress (or anything else) and drupal (or anything else). Just pick the best (for you) specialized software for all different parts of your website and integrate them (as seamlessly as possible).

[katastimata]

I have used wordpress, muwordpress, drupal and joomla and proprietary CMS extensively, for any kind of website. I’m about to start testing bbpress but I have to say that I’m a bit sceptical.

One thing is that the best communities I have ever seen are based on forum specialized software (not going to mention these here, you know them). So in order to establish a well performing online community I suggest that you use one of these software (bbpress seems to be one of these).

The other thing is that the community will help protect the community, so unless you build it and it grows, you won’t be able to keep it clean and tidy all by yourself.

[kenney]

Ok…I thought this was the same place…I just typed in bbpress to look for a support forum…I thought that was what I installed with WP…Sorry for the trouble but thank you for all your help…Kenney

Hi, I’m trying to figure out how to display bbPress’ tag cloud from the sidebar in WordPress. I’ve googled a lot, but can’t seem to find anyone who’s done this.

I’ve hacked a temporary solution that displays the topic tags from bbpress as a list in the wordpress sidebar, but I’d really love to have the size formatting as well.

<?php

global $wpdb;

$taglist = $wpdb->get_results(“select name from bb_terms”,”ARRAY_N”);

$number_of_tags_to_show = 10;

for ($count = 0; $count < $number_of_tags_to_show; $count++)

{

if($taglist[$count][0])

{

$tag = str_replace( ” “, ” “, $taglist[$count][0]);

echo ‘

I this where you’re going to run bbPress or is it a test installation? These are warnings that appear to be related to running on XAMP and do not normally occur in a production installation.

Also, they’re just warnings. If you can turn off PHP warnings, I think you won’t have any more trouble. But if you’re going to be running this in a production environment on another server anyway, I would just install it there and not worry about these issues.

You did not get phpBB from here. phpBB support forums are here:

http://www.phpbb.com/community/

If we’re talking about the link you posted, it redirects here – http://youngmoney.us/dir1/index.php which is phpBB, not bbPress.
