Integration is not mandatory. It can be useful if you want site wide login sync and share users among WP & bbP. You can use the same database. No plugin is required for integration.

I replied to your email but it seems to have some problem so I sent you a mail via your contact form too.

http://storeeboard.com is my new site using bbPress. The site is not a forum as such, it is used more as a game.

I’ve modified the kakumei theme and really simplified and cleaned up the whole look.

I hope you like the look of it…

[chandersbs]

I don’t think there is a plugin that only shows newest members, there is one plugin though that generates a lot of useful information about your forum.

I think this plugin might help you:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/my-views/

Maybe you can find a way to pull the data it generates and insert it wherever you want it.

Hi, I’m working on a WordPress + bbPress site – see it in development at http://beta.delectable.com.my/forum/ – and I’d like to know how to display a list of the new members. Just something that says “Newest users in our forum” and a list of the member usernames. I would like to display this in the footer, not on a separate page. Thanks!

[InvTrdr]

When I get past Step1 I keep getting this message that will not allow me to proceed to Step2. Any help? I am using GoDaddy for hosting and followed all the instructions. Am not using the same database as WP is using. Have created a new one for bbPress.

[InvTrdr]

I created a new database for bbPress.

[johnhiler]

If you also have a WordPress install that you’re sharing the database with, I think you can use the values in your WordPress config file in your bbPress bb-config.php…

[Olaf Lederer]

The first “forum” is the forum’s folder and the second is used to identity a (sub)forum.

The same way like a tag or topic is identified. You can change the forum’s folder name, that’s all.

the structure make sense:

https://bbpress.org/forums/ (forums home)

https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/troubleshooting (the troubleshooting forum)

[johnhiler]

Your bb-config.php file is in the root of your bbpress installation… you can edit it in any plaintext editor.

It looks something like this:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-config-sample.php

[InvTrdr]

Which config.php file is being referred to in the article? Will it be under the bbPress folder? Also where is the hostname required? bbPress installation only asks me for the username and password.

Thanks.

[johnhiler]

Ah ok, GoDaddy requires you to change some settings… there’s a nice writeup here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-select-db-error-and-godaddycom

Here’s the key link:

http://help.godaddy.com/article/39

Hope that helps!

[InvTrdr]

I just downloaded the zip file and uploaded the bbPress folder into the HTML directory and used <mydomain/bbpress> to set it up and am getting this message. I am using GoDaddy for hosting, yes.

Thanks.

[johnhiler]

Are you setting up a standalone bbPress install, or integrating with WordPress?

Also – who is your webhost… are you on GoDaddy?

[InvTrdr]

I am entering the database user name and password and am getting an error message saying “there was a problem connecting to the database, please check the settings”. I set up the database and password correctly but bbPress will not let me go further. What do I do?

Thank you.

More on that here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-add-new-topic-link

[ppalayo]

I’m a newbie with bbpress.

I just installed a new forum in a new folder “forum” and I want to know how to make some changes.

I want to change my url from http://my.site.com/forum/forum/my-topic to http://my.site.com/forum/my-topic

The default word after http://my.site.com/forum/ is “forum” can I change this?

I can’t find an option in permalinks.

[johnhiler]

If you’re looking for broad plugin support, you’re probably better off on bbPress 0.9.0.x for now… it’s going to take some time before a critical mass of plugins works for bbPress 1.0.x.

Same concept for bbPress. You could make all those plain text if you like, they’re built that way by default for people who need to translate their sites.

[nickaster]

So, I’m learning how to hack around these bbpress themes pretty nicely, but sometimes the php confounds me. For example, here’ some code from a basic front page:

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Last Poster'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Freshness'); ?></th>

Simple table headers, but what’s the point of the php? Why don’t I just slap the words in there exactly how I want it? Isn’t this just churning resources? Why wouldn’t I just do this:

<th>Posts</th>

<th>Last Poster</th>

<th>Freshness</th>

Thanks!

Trick is for bbPress functions, half of them are WordPress functions, just sometimes with bb_ on the front, so they behave essentially the same. A fair few others are just aliases to return data instead of outputting it (i.e. get_forum_link vs. forum_link). Beyond that though, yeah it’s all pretty undocumented, but it’s usually relatively obvious from the name and parameters it takes.

I’d love to be able to help right a bbPress Codex mind you…

Wow, those people have been around forever. I remember when Linux was first going public and I worked with Linux.com, those guys had the exact same list of products.

The web has moved away from threaded discussion formats in favor of conversational (due in part to comments becoming so prevalent on web sites and eventually blogs). There were numerous papers on it years back, though they may be hard to find now. Here’s one blog post on the subject, which does an adequate job of explaining some of the pros and cons: http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2008/06/02/against-threaded-conversations-on-blogs/

It can be accomplished with bbPress, with a little elbow grease, but I definitely don’t think it should rate on the list of core upgrades included in the next release.

[Mark]

@gouri, bbpress is standalone software that is meant to run by itself, or alongside practically anything you choose. In the case of deep integration, if that’s your plan, yes it will work on either WordPress.org or WordPress µ

Google? Animated fire gifs have been around longer than bbPress, BuddyPress and WordPress put together…

[QuickD]

but it doesn’t work with the latest version of bbpress and where do we find a animated gif
