There is no email like that sent by anything in core bbPress. I don’t know of any plugins that do that either.

The only email sent by bbPress is the one containing the password for the new user.

Our bbpress forum does roughly 20-25k pageviews per weekday. We also have a WordPress blog (with caching) that does around 75k pageviews per weekday. The boards and blog are integrated, and share the same database.

The database is the only thing that runs on a (mt) dedicated server with 1GB of RAM (the Extreme package), and its my.cnf is a slightly tweaked version of a my-huge.cnf.

The database was really running ragged a week ago, with a load average between 2.5 and 4.0. The first change I made was described in the first post (indexing topic_slug in bb_topics, tag in bb_tags and forum_slug in bb_forums). That really helped a lot, because on a popular forum, there are apparently enough new topics that the query cache gets invalidated frequently. By making this query a lot more efficient with an index, the load average fell to between 0.4 and 0.7.

Then, after adding the 4-column index, the load average plunged to between 0.03 and 0.20. It’s pretty amazing.

Indices are AWESOME!

I just realized that when a new user registers, they are sent an email with Gravatar information. http://showinabox.tv/forum/topic.php?id=8#post-286

I see nothing in the bbPress admin panel under the Gravatar plugin that lets me customize this email. Unfortunately, the wording of this email seems to confuse people.

“New Gravatar Email is blahblah@NewMexicast.com.

New Verification Code is *******

It is an 8-letter string. Note that before you successfully verify your new Gravatar Email, your Gravatar will not work. “

Anyone know how to customize this email…or send out an automatic welcome email so I can be more clear?

Nick, are you talking about something like this?

* https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-add-sidebar

This doesn’t do any magic integration with WordPress, it just lets you put a sidebar.php file in your theme directory that can be invoked from multiple pages. I actually ended not using this approach (despite writing the plugin). Instead, I just added some PHP/xhtml at the end of header.php.

Hello,

Currently I am translating bbPress.po (.pot) file into Uzbek [language]. Soon I will post an URL for live demo site.

For now I would like to know how one can add a language to bbpress-i18n at Automattic?

[lastmovement]

I have everything installed, Fixed the 404 errors.

Now I cant get wp and bb talking. In the integration section it already is done but. My plug ins bbpress post, BBpress Latest Discussions arent working Fatal error every time I activate.

Also the bb video installed correctly but If I click on it from the admin area it takes me to my homepage?

@fokjulle:

I am the developer of this theme, and I also saw your post in my forums (will answer shortly.)

First: This was my first theme and an old one, it needs to be updated. Which is probably why you are having issues. I plan to update all of my bbPress themes this week.

Second: As a temporary fix, try:

#front-page #discussions {

width: 590px;

overflow: hidden;

float: right;

}

Let me know what happens.

[refueled]

Hey.

I would appreciate it if I could get a few of you to review my latest bbPress theme before I release it: Demo

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Nate

hi,

I have a strange problem, at http://www.criticalmass.at/ you have a point in the sidebar wich is called “Neues aus dem Forum”. this is an standard wordpress rss widget with the rss feed of the bbpress forum: http://www.criticalmass.at/forum/rss/

the feed itself is working fine, also the other rss widgets, but for the forum feed in the widget, it doesn’t show the newest topics/posts.

wordpress 2.5 & bbpress 0.9.0.1

[bobbyh]

Sam, yes, you’re totally right, sorry I wasn’t thinking. mysql can only use one index per query, and a multi-column index is much more restrictive for this common query, and hence much faster. This will really speed things up, so I’ll add these indices tonight (when server load goes down). Thanks!

I also think it’s worthwhile to add this multi-column index to the core. What do you think?

EDIT: I was too curious, so I added a 3-column index just now. When I did an EXPLAIN statement on my mysql 4.1 database, this 3-column index was listed as a possible_key, but not used as a key. The query with a 3-column index thus didn’t use an index and required a “where” and a “filesort” (for topic_time). I then added topic_time to the index, making this a 4-column index, and mysql started using the 4-column index as the key, which also eliminated the slow “filesort”. This is the probably the most common query bbpress does, so making it faster is very exciting!

Here is the trac ticket:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/851

Looks like it’s fixed in the trunk release, but I haven’t seen a date for a new release yet.

This is old, no idea if it still works:

You are looking for integration then, to include WordPress bits in your bbPress.

If you search this forum for integration or view topics tagged integration, you will find lots of integration advice. Here’s a good thread (started a while ago so some of the advice may not apply).

[fokjulle]

Here is config.php:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘*********’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘********’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘*********’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘**********’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”);

define(‘BB_LANG’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change BB_SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You won’t have to remember it later,

// so make it long and complicated. You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

// to get a phrase generated for you, or just make something up.

// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match the value

// of the “SECRET_KEY” in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ”); // Change this to a unique phrase.

// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,

// you will probably want to change this.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BB_LANG’, ”);

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BB_PATH’) )

define(‘BB_PATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BB_PATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

Yes, I use PHPMyAdmin…

[chrishajer]

Maybe the database you used for WordPress has a different collation, but WordPress didn’t care about the difference where bbPress does care and gives you an error?

Do you have access to the database with something like phpMyAdmin?

Who are the bbpress designers that you know of that can convert a template I choose into a bbpress design? Thanks in advance.

[chrishajer]

To make bbPress look like your WordPress theme, you are going to have to do some XHTML and CSS work with a new template for your bbPress forum. It doesn’t sound like you will need user integration, so you can skip that part of the installation/integration, but will will need to either include WordPress in bbPress to get access to your WordPress header and foot or manually add those items to your bbPress template.

If you search this forum for integration or view topics tagged integration, you will find lots of integration advice. Here’s a good thread (started a while ago so some of the advice may not apply):

There are also a couple WordPress forum plugins:

http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/simple-forum/

http://www.xdweb.net/wordpress/xdforum2/

(might not work anymore with WordPress 2.5)

Never tried either of those but they might be options instead of creating your own theme to make bbPress look like your WordPress installation.

How do I add a sidebar into a forum for bbpress?

[antonioperez]

Hello everyone. I am attempting to incorporate bbpress into my current wordpress site at http://www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/wordpress. I don’t want bbpress and wordpress to share any user data as the wordpress site will only be available to members who pay for the service. In short, the bbpress forum will be a kind of online mentoring tool. What I want to is to basically embed bbpress into my wordpress so that when someone navigates threw the site, it will appear as a smooth transitition.

Thanks

[alakhnor]

Does anyone know where I can still download ThemePress?

Or is there any similar theme for bbPress 0.9?

Previous thread on this topic.

[chrishajer]

When I was not logged in, no errors. When logged in, I see a Javascript error:

Error: favoritesToggle[1 === isFav ? "removeClass" : "addClass"] is not a function

Source File: http://trashmedia.co.za/forums/bb-includes/js/topic-js.php?ver=20080401

Line: 55

 

I have a 0.9.0.1 installation and I checked there and I have the same exact same error.

It looked like the error was related to favorites, so I figured I would mark something as a favorite and see if the error would go away, but it didn’t.

There is already a ticket filed for this problem with a solution posted there as well:
