Oh, and WYSIWIG and images and all that basic stuff… are there still plugins for that? I’ve got people very nervous with code…

[eclipsenow]

I’m wondering if I can use BBpress as a “blog” with the latest “articles” showing up as the “Latest posts” do here in BBpress.

So can I set up BBpress set to have a Navigation bar along the top with typical “About us” pages, “How you can help”, etc? (The usual top 5 to 10 pages you have on blog or introduction to your website etc). Any other ideas?

Then everything else can just be in the forums.

Also, because BBpress is a VERY stripped back forum with lots of plugins, does the plugin for email notifying still work? (Getting an email any time someone replies). Can I set ALL users to getting that?

Can I as the Admin set the “Tags/categories” that posters can then select from?

Is there an auto-backup plugin of some sort? (I hate database stuff).

What else do I need to install to use BBpress as my main community portal / blog (without wordpress).

We’re about to install and integrate bbpress with an existing WordPress installation. We put the WordPress files in a ‘wordpress’ subdirectory when installing to keep the httdocs directory clean. Will this affect integration in any way? If need be, we can move this back.

Ideally, we would like to have WordPress in a /wordpress directory and bbpress in a /forum directory with WordPress accessible via the root, and bbpress via /forum.

Also, on a slightly different note; how have people found integration with 1.0.2 and 2.8.4?

Waiting for your suggestion, I disabled the plugin bbpress smiles.

Your help is always welcome anyway!

this problem seems to only be occuring in google Chrome. But not in IE 8.

Is this the first time IE WORKED, and Chrome didn’t? Oh my god.

And this is definetely only occuring on the ‘edit-post’ page, and I have tried messing with the code of the edit-form.php and troubleshooting it, and making it identical to the post-form.php in practically every way, and the problem still happens.

[pikatore]

an update.

i notice mouseovering over the textbox area or even anything specified between the <label> tags (which has the textbox and the quicktags bar, the B button highlights.

what the?!

[pikatore]

I mean, all the plugin pb– folders with plugins downloaded via the browser.

[pikatore]

For some reason, the plugin folder that the browser creates in my FTP are read only, and so are their contents.

Why is this?

[antoniobon]

Problem solved with the bb-video plugin. Strangely it only converts video link (URL) and not the EMBED code. Instead the issue with the bb-smiles of _ck_ remains an outstanding …

[pikatore]

I have a bizarre problem.

Sometimes, when editing a post, I will click in the post text box, and it will automatically throw in a tag, and the B button will change to /B.

The thing is, I didn’t click B, I clicked the textbox!

what the hell is going on?

[antoniobon]

Thanks for your help. The problem was created by a incopatibile plugin with my version of bbpress (term of service). It was not a problem of memory as I thought.

[antoniobon]

This is an example of topic where you can see that bbsmiley and bbvideo are not enable.

Can you help me?

My version of bbpress is 1.02. My forum is under construction

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

MPESGT01 – That would sort of fall under the realm of BuddyPress, I would think. Still, yes, it’s possible to make a plugin. WPMU/bbPress/BuddyPress would probably do it better

[mpesgt01]

If we use bbPress as a forum… and WordPress as a blog… and that we can add a way that the members can upload photos to their own profile… we would then almost get a social software/php script and that would be awsome !!!

I am not a coder (i’m a web designer) but I do know that it can be possible to create this plug in.

I just saw your next look, the bbpress 2.0 and with that plugin, a profile album, it would be it !!

Than maybe later another plugin for same thing, but videos (either upload or grab via youtube), but this can be invented later… photos first !!

Any chances ???

If someone can hack into my devserver that have no access to internet, the person is more than welcome to do it

apbai: Nice, so everything is working now?

Interesting, my opinion would actually be the opposite.

bbPress is probably faster in a shared environment than the others (if tuned).

SMF and Vbulletin already take advantage of shared memory like eaccelerator/apc/xcache out of the box and have different levels of caching. Vbulletin is very bulky though.

The magic to bbPress is not performance, it has an “acceptable” rating in performance for 1.0, but what you can do with it and how quickly. You can customize bbPress like no other forum I’ve seen with quite a bit of ease, not just the look/theme but the actual functionality.

[Ryan Hellyer]

Hmm, well this all sounds promising’ish.

I asked Sam Bauers at WordCamp NZ how bbPress would compare speed-wise and server resource wise to other standard forum softwares like phpBB, SMF, vBulletin etc. He said that the others were probably faster on a shared hosting environment, but when mem-caching is running that bbPress leaps ahead in performance. Sam, perhaps you were referring to forums which REQUIRE mem-cache (ie: super large forums) running better on bbPress than the other softwares?

At any rate it sounds like for my purposes that I shouldn’t worry about these things too much and just stick with using it straight out of the box.

ummm and https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbvideo/ ?

This user hacked permalinks to rewrite in a new way… his/her rewrite rules were written for the Isapi Rewrite filter, so maybe that would start you off in the right direction?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/nicer-slug-url-rewrite-plugin-done

Good luck!

[Sam Bauers]

Your secret keys are supposed to be secret.

[flint6]

Hi. I just installed bbpress without any problems. I am running IIS 6.0 and got my host to install the IIRF Isapi Rewrite Filter, since I cannot use mod_rewrite.

Currently my permalink settings are “none”. If I try to change permalinks to “name based” using the bbpress Admin area, my threads no longer work and show up as 404 pages.

Is anyone familiar with how to use the IIRF Isapi Rewrite Filter to get permalinks working? Many thanks in advance.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’d be lazy and take something like Tom (db)’s WPNews and flip it around

For RSS, you can google around for solutions. I’m not sure there are any bb specific ones.

[johnhiler]

This is the closest plugin that I’m aware of:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/members-online/

I don’t think it displays a total number of registered users though…

[apbai]

Wah, I just go ahead and added

those defines (without ‘BB_’ prefix, of course) in my wp-config.php and everything is working now!

Great find, man! Thank you!

[JesperA]

I am running WP only
