We should be ok. Best case scenario, Automattic will bring on someone to continue developing bbPress. Worse case scenario, we can fork the code from bbPress and continue development on our own… Since WordPress is open source, maintaining cookie/user integration is definitely possible.

But we can discuss all that in a separate thread… mostly just wanted to express appreciation for Sam in this thread! He wrote a huge amount of code and chimed in a lot of threads here on the forum – thanks again!

Sam, I hope the team at Automattic appreciates how hard you worked, and just how much they lost when you stepped down!

[chandersbs]

I really don’t hope that too.

Wow, really hope development doesn't stop on bbPress.

[johnhiler]

Olaf – The big reasons for me to stay on the older version are:

* Many plugins work on 0.9 but aren’t compatible with 1.0.

* 0.9 is really stable and battle-tested, while 1.0 is just a few months old.

* 0.9 is very fast, but 1.0 has a lot more overhead (like BackPress) which slows it down considerably.

It’s really a decision that each webmaster has to make for themselves!

In my case, I’m sticking with 0.9… but I recognize that as time goes on and 1.0 matures, the upgrade will become more compelling for me! But YMMV…

[Olaf Lederer]

I used the 0.9 branch until version 1.02 got released. While there are not so much reasons to upgrade from 0.9 to 1.02, people should always use latest versions. Why should I start with an older version?

makes no sense…

[frooyo]

Thanks Sam

Wow, really hope development doesn’t stop on bbPress.

I also hope the 1.0 release wasn’t rushed solely because Automattic knew Sam was about to leave.

[gerikg]

yeah but putting the same name on two “different” product is confusing. It can be called something else rather than lite, the reason I said it is because I think someone said that .9 is almost half the size of 1.0+

[johnhiler]

Ah interesting gerikg!

If 0.9 is Lite and 1.0 is Full… wouldn’t most people want the Full version? I guess I’m not sure why 0.9 is Lite and 1.0 is Full…

Someone suggested once that bbPress 0.9 should’ve been named bbPress 1.0… and bbPress 1.0 should have been released as bbPress 1.7 or something. That sounds about right to me…

[gerikg]

Why not call v0.9 “BBpress Lite v0.9″and call 1.0+ just BBpress (or BBpress Full v1.0.3)? or something in that nature

When you come first to this site you see the two versions. Most of us I think pick the higher version not thinking about the other. Some of us (the people who understands bbpress better as a stand alone) prefer 0.9 version still after the “higher” version came out.

The reason is not to confuse the new users that 0.9 is not a lesser version or that 1.0 is a more updated version. What I’ve read the two version are different enough to continue it’s own path. and it shows because you’re asking for users to test the new .9 version. “call for testers on the 0.9 branch and 1.0 trunk” If I wasn’t around for a couple of years I would think 1.0 is more stable than 0.9.

more findings, I have cleaned up the users to have their own respective blogs, excluding the main domain.tld

going to forums admin area and access user role map where I have:

WP Administrator: bbPress KeyMaster

WP Editor, Author, Contributor and Subscriber: bbPress Member

just click “Save” on this mapping settings (no changes from before) and when I get back to WP SiteAdmin I can see all users have been added to the main domain again.

Can anyone help me with this issue ?

[missfor]

wpmu + bbpress integration

the blog is installed in the root domain: domain.tld

This is the case: user1 registers on the wpmu site and gets the email notification, clicks and activates his account.

On admin site I can see the user being registered to his blog: user1.domain.tld

Perfect so far.

As soon as user1 access the forum (bbpress), the user gets access to the domain.tld – which is the main blog.

So now when the user1 goes to his “my blogs” he has access to http://user1.domain.tld and http://domain.tld

Fortunately when he clicks on http://domain.tld dashboard he has very limited options.

Any ideas to have user1 accessing only his own blog ?

Many thanks.

The code he uses calls the WP theme header.php but the WP header is showing null when he is in his forums.

[Jim R]

Now…we can at least state between the require code and the get_header();, it works on an otherwise blank page. So this can’t be a WP template issue. Using just the following:

<?php

require_once('/home/jwrbloom/public_html/wp-load.php');

get_header();

?>

I get this: http://www.hoosierhoopsreport.com/wp-test.php

That works as it should. When I put the code in the bbPress template (the require code in bb-config and the get_header wherever bb_get_header is, it doesn’t work.

[gerikg]

What if I say I want the User Activity & Topics Started to show on the side instead of the profile, would that make a difference?

I saw this in my bbpress header, what does it do?

<?php

$_head_profile_attr = '';

if ( bb_is_profile() ) {

global $self;

if ( !$self ) {

$_head_profile_attr = ' profile="http://www.w3.org/2006/03/hcard"';

}

}

?>

It might be something I need to pull the User Activity & Topics Started???

[gerikg]

can someone help me with this? Just change the top into a call function that pulls from the db?

[annejan]

Thanks for your reply. I copied your code and deleted my own code.

The WP things in my bbPress are still working, but the “next page” problem is there still too.

Anyone a solution for the “next page” problem?

Thanks in advance!!

$limit was passed something which wasn’t numeric because… I guess that’s what do_action() does when it doesn’t have any arguments? Doing a var_dump(), it appears to be an empty string, so I guess it just passed the default value of the argument variable.

I found it because I noticed the SQL query wasn’t valid when it was run in phpMyAdmin and then noticed that there wasn’t anything after LIMIT.

I don’t know if there’s any performance gain, but it’s how bbPress code is written iirc and in the case of calling the user table, it’s essential when you’re working with a WP/bbP integration (as the table prefix is different).

So mostly it allows for the table names to be entirely variable, which is probably better practice in case a plugin changes them.

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

Dear fellow users,

after following _ck_’s advice to use 0.9.0.6 still – and after starting over with my bbPress project already assembled under 1.02 – I ran into the following problem today:

After installing XAMPPlite (Windows32) v1.7.2, several routines of bbPress started to flag the ‘Deprecated’ errors.

My provider 1&1 ist using PHP 5.28 still – but nobody knows when they would upgrade to 5.3 finally .

Any advice how to tackle the challenge – not only the messages?

TIA (from Germany)

Enable pingbacks and trackbacks on both WP and BB & XML-RPC publishing protocols. It’s in the WRITING & DISCUSSION in the admin section.

I’d like the ability for members to add an avatar with their bbpress profiles? What is the best way to accomplish this

[shmufus]

Hi, I’m trying to integrate bbPress with Buddypress using the guide here: http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/07/17/integrating-buddypress-wordpress-mu-and-bbpress/

I have done this successfully on my localhost, but trying to do on on our host’s webspace is proving difficult.

The integration of cookies works fine, but when I add a group to Buddypress, where is should normally say:

“Enable discussion forum”

It says:

“Attention Site Admin: Group forums require the correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation.”

This is the part where a forum should automatically be created for the group. The passwords match up, the only difference I can see is one is using localhost and the other is using external webspace. Our host don’t allow us to set a folder to have 777 file permissions, which I thought could be the problem?

My question is, does the bbpress folder need 777 permissions for it to integrate successfully this way, or should I be looking somewhere else for the problem?

Thanks

I think if you can take an RSS to email service, that is about the closest you would come. I don’t know of a plugin that allows replies by email. But things like Feedburner, Feedblitz and AWeber offer email to RSS for the delivery, but replies are not going to work like mailman.

If you need mailman style functions, why not use mailman? Is there something that bbPress offers that mailman does not?

[Jim R]

Justin is saying to ask everyone over here. It’s like the old days when Adobe products weren’t meshing well with Windows 95. : )

With the exception of a few layout issues, it’s it appears the header and footer are carrying over. I’m willing to dig into those on my own, considering the number of files it involves, after I know the navigation and other functionality also carry over. Mostly just wanting to focus on getting the navigation to carry over.

[bluechives]

Is there a plugin that could allow BBPress be used in conjunction with a mailman style mailing list.

So that anything posted to the forum is sent out to the mailing list and any emails sent to the mailing list are posted to the forum in the relevant place?

[InvTrdr]

Seems to work now. Could have been a temporary problem. Rest of it is working fine.

Thanks.

[johnhiler]
