You should get an idea from here :

I know this function from many type of websites but never used on a forum

don’t think that it will be easy to develop inside bbpress, check the plugin list I thought I saw some old extension there

ps. Pimp is a word young people like to say (pimp a car)

[cruth]

Not sure how to explain this.

But, i really like being able to just click on the top of forums to sort posts by number of relies and views. It seems like this should be a basic feature for forums. Is this possible for bbPress. I see its not possible at bbpress.org/forums.

As an aside, I am older than most people in these forums, so please understand this. Just a few words, one of the most disgusting characters in our culture was “the pimp”. Extremely insulting comment, unless you were in that subculture. Someone who was in the biz of prostituting women. I realize that things have changed. But, for me this is still tacky. Why not just say what you mean, such as “Promote your forum” or “Show off your forum!” “Pimp” is not cool, at all. Thanks

Yes. I used that. But the plugin have a problem. I can only show 1 youtube video per post. Anyone had the same experience?

Latest news:

I made a kind of Latest Featured Articles widget on the front website.

– I found a very neat CSS/Jquery snippet that i hooked up with the wordpress loop, added a plugin called

“custom-field-images” so I can add image metatags on my blog posts, and then echoing the url to the featured article widget.

The result is an image with some transparent hovering div over with headlines and excerpt + a list of the latest blog posts that are powered by Jquery to change the main image and text om click.

I am using the Topic Icons plugin and it works great! However I’d like to display a “Default” Icon as a fallback if the Topic Icon plugin doesn’t do it for me.

Ever since I started using Buddypress and integrated BbPress, Users can now use forum in “Groups” section. When a user creates a new group, A new subforum will appear. So that’s why I need to have a fallback Icon. I can’t manually sit and add numbers everytime there is a new subforum created.

I already have a script for not showing these subforums in my Forums list.

So another option than using a default topic icon would be to filter these topics (From the subforums) out from the Latest Discussions. But then I need a script in Latest Discussions to filter out all topics that come from a subforum. I never managed to do that.

I use this for the forumloop:

`<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>

<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : global $forum; if ($forum->forum_parent != 0) continue; ?>`

But I cant get something similar working with topics. And Im afraid that If i filter out this I will have trouble with the page counter too.

Somehow the best solution would be a Default fallback Topic Icon. Anyone have any idea how I can solve this?

What’s the correct URL supposed to be?

If you installed bbPress under WP plugins, that’s never gonna work. It’s a stand alongside app.

(should bb have a URL check on setup? If in wp-content/plugins, then ABORT!)

[gerikg]

WPMU 2.8.4a + BB 1.0.2 + BP 1.0.3

I don’t know if I should be posting it here or on BuddyPress.org I integrated those three to work together. I’m was planning to use bbPress signatures by _CK_. When you click edit profile you go to the BuddyPress side. The plugin is for BBpress side. So how do I get it to work on the BuddyPress side and the forums?

Installed bbpress successfully on personal WP blog. No problems.

Attempted install on second blog and I get an odd error when trying to access admin. After entering keymaster name/password and clicking login, I get redirected to:

https://(blogname).com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/

(WP plugins folder now seems a weird place to install, but I was just jumping in)

The redirect address just takes me to a “not found” page on the WP blog. So, I go back to the initial /bbpress/ location and the keymaster name shows as logged in. All links appear to function fine except for Admin. Clicking on this does nothing.

[citizenkeith]

I was noticing this, but chalked it up to running v1.x with outdated plugins. I’ve gone back to v0.9.0.6 and haven’t seen it happen… yet.

[gerikg]

Okay I think I got it. Thanks to Kernpunt (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-pass-at-a-fix-for-deep-integration-in-trunk#post-55915) I didn’t have access to the error logs.

I deactivate both plugin from both sides (for now).

I didn’t have clue what it was. I thought it was because my php memory was limited.

Now I’m integrating BBpress theme into WP!

Ruby on Rails has some stuff to allow memcached storage of user sessions:

http://awesomerails.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/memcache-sessions-in-rails/

@finalwebsite – _ck_ is a female developer. I was referring to her statements that “the performance boost will be trivial, almost non-existent for a single server setup” and ” Memcache is only beneficial for multi-server systems, it’s why it was invented in the first place.” But ymmv!

[Olaf Lederer]

Hi Spell, check the time on your server first (use ssh)

[Olaf Lederer]

so it’s possible to store user sessions with memcache? this is cool.

do you know some reference material about this function?

[Olaf Lederer]

Hi,

you need to check the old and the new table structure (use phpmyadmin) for this.

next you need to convert the old tables to the format of the new tables.

Learn from how bbpress will create the records inside the tables and import your old data this way.

I don’t think that there is a tutorial on how to do that (didn’t know that Joomla has a forum module)

[batrachoid]

Depends. Where do you want them to appear in BBpress and what part of your blog do you want to link to?

[usera]

I think there is some mistake on what the intent of my post was about. My post is never meant that I wanted a feature to “cache” the forum. I wanted the bbpress integration to work with memcache for a seemless login but currently it’s done by the cookie path.. I think I once again got confused on who to contact to get that feature added since not everyone uses cookies but than I suppose it is a problem when you set session handling to memcache by master value.

[_ck_]

No, the problem is much worse in 1.0.x

Not only does the setting have no effect, 1.0 has a “reserved” option list which forces all foreign options (ie. set by plugins) to default to non-autoload, causing an extra query for each one unless they specifically add themselves to the auto-load list.

So other than hacking nearly every single existing plugin, you can try my workaround:

I’ve abandoned this idea now. Until BBPress makes this ALOT easier to achieve sometime in the future.

I added a link to the forum on the mainsite, and it opens in a new window. Looks good.

Hi!

I’m running bbPress 0.9.0.2 and I noticed that it shows some weird posting times on few of the last posts. It says that they’ve been written “-1 year ago”. Minus one year ago? What could it be that’s making this happen? Something wrong with the server clock? I haven’t changed any of my bbPress settings in a while..

Here is the board (in Finnish): http://www.viekkausliiga.com/pulina/

Problem is the “Pulinaboxi” thread. It says that a user has written the last post “-1 year ago”. This causes the sites front page (http://www.viekkausliiga.com/) RSS-feed parser to malfunction as in not showing the latest posts…

[Olaf Lederer]

@johnhiler, his concerns are more about setup problems by unexperienced php user and hosting requirements.

Actually, I don’t like the super cache module for WP, because it’s only powerful for blogs with a lot of page views. Memcache would be better for bbpress in my opinion. I know a lot of people using memcache for several types of applications and they are very glad to use it.

I don’t think that memcache should be a part of bbpress, but it would be helpful that the API is compatible to use it.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Empty your database be dropping all the tables inside it via PhpMyAdmin and then install bbPress again.

[gerikg]

It could be: BBVideo plugin

Sam had some thoughts on how bbPress 1.0/Backpress enabled the WordPress memcached plugin here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/topic-query-count-in-alpha-10-any-progress#post-19600

_ck_ also had some thoughts on how memcached would or wouldn’t increase performance (although it sounds like performance isn’t your main goal in making the switch):

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/covert-wp-super-cache-plug-in-for-bbpress/page/2#post-38232

Good luck – and keep us posted on how it goes!

[usera]

for my requirements memcache is more reliable and less messy. Besides you do not supercache a forum. I do not think you understand.
