I think it took a while for WordPress to get where it is today, including video tutorials at wordpress.tv – bbPress is not there yet. WordPress 1.0 was January 2004, and the first video tutorial on wordpress.tv was posted January 2009. bbPress 1.0 was released June 2009. I think there is a lot more development to be done with bbPress before resources would ever be devoted to anything like bbpress.tv (which is not registered ATM.)

Looks like that plugin was designed for version 0.74… that’s three releases ago!

Maybe you could study how it works, and adapt it to work with more recent versions?

Dear Admin,

We all really need video tutorials regarding bbpress plugins, integration, themes, and all it’s stuff. you know virtual lesions help are better then written posts. so why you people are so late to to launch bbpress.tv or video tutorials guides like wordpress.tv

moderators are also welcome to answers!!

Do you know if this problem is resolved? I had the plugin downloaded onto my bbPress forum for me a few days ago and I was not aware of this topic at the time. Is it now safe to use or should I be taking it off?

[jimgozieo]

Any one know of a Comment Length Limiter plugin that I can use for my bbPress forum. Your help is appreciated.

[johnhiler]

That site is _ck_’s developer showcase… I believe she did those flags with mini-track:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mini-track/

She no longer officially supports that plugin though – much of the functionality has been moved into the excellent mini-stats:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mini-track/page/3/#post-2436

But the flag functionality isn’t part of mini-stats, alas.

If you know how to edit or develop WordPress plugins, you shouldn’t have a problem working with bbPress plugins! If not, then maybe you could hire a developer to help with the port…

[jimgozieo]

Yes, I noticed the flags at http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ but they only appear on the front page of the forum – I want mine to appear underneath the poster’s avatar everytime he/she posts something.

It defeinitely exists on wordpress because I use it on my wordpress site. It is called the Comment Info Detector plugin by someone called Hieudt. I don’t know how to port plugins from wordpress to bbPress – is that something very difficult or very easy to do?

[chrishajer]

Hey jjj, thanks for stepping up and helping Andy with BuddyPress:

https://buddypress.org/blog/news/doubling-up/

[chrishajer]

Not currently possible with bbPress.

[chrishajer]

Notice the flags at the bottom of this forum:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/

I thought it was part of _ck_’s mini track plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mini-track/

I’m not saying this will do everything you want straight away, but the idea exist and maybe you can extend from there.

[johnhiler]

Ah… so like an IP detection plugin which displays the country automatically!

I haven’t seen that on bbPress. Does it exist on WordPress? If so, it can probably be ported!

@chrishajer & circuit

Thanks for your replies,

I did try logging out and back in (in bbpress) and the admin functions seemed to work again. Which is strange, since logging in on the wordpress side, im pushing users the the bbpress login.php form.

The only ans single database solutions you might consider at this moment (except MySQL which is already supported) is PostgreSQL ans SQLite.

I would switch my WordPress to SQLite. Thought SQLite has no full support for alter…

[circuit]

aha, fixed by logging out and back in via bbpress login form (NOT wordpress..)

[hpguru]

Or you can use a phpMyAdmin.

[chrishajer]

I’ve never seen or heard of that for bbPress.

[chrishajer]

I have to disagree strenuously with the suggestion to support Oracle databases. In fact, I don’t believe I ever heard of anyone asking for that before, or heard of anyone turned off by the fact that Oracle was not supported. There are dozens of other features and fixes I would want to see before seeing support for other databases.

MySQL is the defacto database for open source blogging, CMS and forum software, with Postgres right behind. I think there are bigger fish to fry than supporting Oracle databases.

[Ario]

Yes, generally thats how heat maps work.

[dcheung19]

I’ve recently done a fresh wp & bb integration install.

I’m using my own theme for bbpress, I was testing creating a sticky post, but when i click on any of the admin links: Delete entire topic – Close topic – Stick topic (to front) it just sends me back to the forum.php page, and nothing happens.

Has anyone had this happen to them? Any fixes or work arounds?

added: updating the password does not work as well, in the profile edit page.

[apam]

I’m still having trouble…tinymce seems to break up my template, doesn’t show pics in the post content untill I save and preview the post (not all images though…) and tag management keeps giving me errors. Everything seems to go away when I disable the plugin.

I must say it’s getting quite difficult to get this forum to work as I’d like…must say if I can’t find a solution I might go back to my old smf forum…but I’d love to keep to bbpress.

I can’t find help on other tinymce forums either…

[bbhack]

I’ll echo some of the other comments and say that having a Codex for bbPress is key to it’s future. Shouldn’t this be something that is very easy for someone at Automattic to setup?

The other thing is better, easier integration with existing user database tables and site features for sign-in/out, registration, change password, etc. Most everyone using bbPress probably already has the rest of their site already setup.

You don’t users to have to have two logins, two registrations, two login pages, and two registration pages ,and two records in the database with the same info. This type of integration needs to be dead simple and straightforward in bbPress but it is not. If this was done properly, the most common site integration (bbPress with a WordPress blog) wouldn’t be the mess it is today.

Also, support for Oracle databases would go a long way to helping adoption.

[InvTrdr]

Thanks. So if a page with a tag not shown if used frequently will put its tag on the heatmap automatically?

[chrishajer]

No, the top ‘so many’ tags are shown, based on how frequently they’re used. It’s a heat map, to show the most frequently used tags.

[chrishajer]

To add things to your bbPress pages, you need to edit the files in your theme’s folder. Just find the template that is displaying the page you’re looking at, and edit the file to put your links in there.
