It’s time for the (completely unofficial) TOP 100 report!

I am very pleased to report the list has swelled to OVER 4000 sites, even though 200 sites have been dropped since last month due to domains expiring, disappearing DNS or other reasons. This means in the past 30 days, well over 1000 sites have been added!

This month also brings new features to the list – considering it’s now overwhelming size I have added a basic search ability to the Top 1000 list.

User voting on sites is still pending, sorry (my limited time has unfortunately been taken doing plugin fixes for 1.0 alpha). I hope to have it working in time for bbPress’s TWO YEAR birthday next month (October 14th).

This month I have also calculated some additional, interesting statistics on the data to give a better analysis of bbPress’s incredible growth…

@_ck_ Sorry missed about the WPMU, I´m on WP 2.6 and having theese problems.

[_ck_]

I assume you both asked on the WPMU support forum?

I just finished a test integration of bbpress into word-press and all is working very well with one exception. The static front page for word press has stopped functioning when I add the following to the end of the wp-config.php file:

if ( !defined(‘BBDB_NAME’) )

{

require_once(ABSPATH.’forum/bb-load.php’);

}

If I remove this and the couple of bbpress calls that I’m using which require this, the static front page works again. I think I’m just too tired to find the answer in the source.

Has anyone solved this? BTW — this is WP version 2.5.1 and bbpress 0.9.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It’s not available AFAIK. I was trying to search the forums here for the last time it was discussed but I can’t find it. It was a custom theme they had done by Happy Cog, I think.

Nah, mine wont let the WP users post or do any thing except login.

[Jens Wedin]

I think I might have the same problem. I can log in an post with one admin user. This user can post both on WP and BBP. If I add another user. It can semi login to WP but not to BBP. If I change this user to an admin nothing happens, the user cannot do anything more than before.

hi,

I would really like to use the WordPress Forums <http://wordpress.org/support/&gt; theme at my bbPress forums. Is there anywhere I can download it?

[meitershaker]

and this: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/memberlist ?

bye

[websydaisy]

I am going to use bbPress for a client’s web site, but she has one requirement and I am not sure if it can be implemented. She wants a membership list that can include the members’ title and company (if provided). I was lookin at the Memberslist plugin, but while someone commented that they wanted that feature, there was never any response at to if that was possible. Any ideas?

[peterve]

yes – creating the autoload plugin apperently did the trick !!!

(I still need to test if all functionality works, but at least I can now see the posts )

thank, this issue is resolved for now

Same database or same tables within the database? Same database, sure, just use a different table prefix, like bbalpha_ or something.

For the same tables, I would need to look at the schema changes between 0.9 and 1.0, but I *believe* there are changes, which means it would not work to use the same exact tables.

edit: _ck_ beat me to it

[_ck_]

No, 1.0 alpha CHANGES the database upon install/upgrade that will make the database incompatible with 0.9.

You may find yourself thinking it’s still working with 0.9 afterwards, but there will be critical updates missing, for example the topicmeta table is no longer used or updated in 1.0, even though it’s left in the db.

[chrishajer]

The integration won’t work with those versions, as you know.

For the refresh thing, that’s what you posted about initially. Can you post the link to your forum?

Does any of this help?

[Daniel Juhl]

The same for me – right now, bbPress needs a lot to be the perfect community, but by time I’m sure it’ll be the one! And the fact, that its possible to integrate it with WordPress is great.

[scott-hack]

I have high hopes that bbPress becomes everything that everyone wants it to be. I wish I was a coder, so I could contribute!

I have a few forums using .9 on a single database. Can I also install 1.0 alpha for a new forum on the same database without any problems to my forums using .9?

[peterve]

bbPress 0.9.0.2, WP 2.6.2, running on 2008 server

cookies may not work (due to the incompatibilities), but at least users can now log on just fine.

thanks for the link

Now I’m still faced with another problem : nobody can actually open a forum, post, profile or anything else,

(e.g. http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum.php?id=1)

then the page goes blank (browser looks like it’s trying to constantly reloading the page)

The admin panel works fine

This is a fresh install, integrated with WordPress, running in a separate folder (not as a subfolder of WP)

any ideas ?

or should I open an new post for this ?

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress and WordPress did you integrate? There are cookie incompatibilities between some versions of bbPress and WordPress.

update

I have reinstalled bbpress in a new folder, outside the wordpress blog folder structure

the bbpress is integrated with the wordpress database, and uses the wordpress users

I have completed the installation, and I’m getting the first forum page, with the first forum, however I cannot log in (not with admin user, not with any other user). When clicking the “log in’ button, the page reloads and asks me to log in again

any ideas ?

[peterve]

I have installed bbPress in a subfolder of my wordpress blog.

Initial installation worked fine, integration seems to be ok (I can see wordpress users in my bbpress admin page etc)

When I try to open the first forum

http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum.php?id=1

then the page goes blank (browser looks like it’s trying to constantly reloading the page)

What is wrong here, how can I solve this ?

[leoleoleo]

I installed BBcode Lite for bbPress and BBcode Buttons plugins in bbPress 1.0 Alpha. The URL button not work show the original code not URL.How to fix it? Thanks.

Hello,

I switched from Simple:Press to BBpress.

For a WP based site, Simple:Press is far more sophisticated and more integrated that current BBpress.

The reason that made me switched is that Simple:Press is a one man project. The day Andy decides to get a life Simple:Press will be dumped (like was some of his previeous excellent plugins).

On the other hand BBpress seems to get a new second life and is a promising project. I would ad that in its current stage it is very usable and works pretty well.

It’s always been that way. I think the tags are broken because they are imported from the plugin’s readme. It’s a customized copy of bbPress.

I have subscribed to the rss feed for plugins with the _ck_ tag:

http://bbpress.org/plugins/rss/tags/_ck_/

But it doesn’t seem to work properly. There are plenty of plugins in this feed that don’t have the _ck_ tag.
