@sam

why not release a RC for bbpress

[lilnigsta]

I’m giddy, its like Christmas, only less tangible.

[chrishajer]

I can access this:

http://cialar.com/foro/bb-images/bbpress.png

Which means the files (at least that file) are there.

I can also access these and get directory listings:

http://cialar.com/foro/bb-admin/

http://cialar.com/foro/

That tells me that the index.php file in each directory is not getting processed by the web server. Looks like some sort of configuration problem with the server.

Can you put a simple file in the foro directory, call it info.php and put this into it:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

 

Then access that at http://www.cialar.com/foro/info.php. See what that tells you. If that is not processed by the web server, then it’s a problem with the server, not bbPress.

I don’t have a lot of experience on an IIS server, so there may be something simple I’m not familiar with that would cause this.

I am guessing PHP is not enabled here:

http://www.cialar.com/foro/ (IP: 74.208.22.70)

It is however enabled here:

http://www.foro.cialar.com/ (IP: 74.86.125.241)

Those are two completely different machines. The one where phpBB is now is a Linux/Apache machine with PHP 5.2.5. The cialar.com one if IIS.

I am pretty sure this is a configuration thing with your server, and where you have bbPress installed does not support PHP.

I really like the new theme they are using and was wondering if anyone knew if they had released it or where they got it from?

Also on a non-bbpress note, how do you turn avatars on in WP2.5? I can’t find it at all.

[Sam Bauers]

Release of bbPress 0.9 is imminent.

We need to test against the final release of WordPress 2.5 before we can release bbPress.

[benbeltran]

I’ve done this but I use the bbpress database. If you can make a relationship between the bbpress database and your user database I’m sure you can work something.

@lostdeviant

I guess, they’ve taken a long vacation

[affacat]

We realized many of the members seemed to be showing up on the site as ‘inactive’, despite having a record in wp_user_meta with matching records containing:

bb_capabilities a:1:{s:6:”member”;b:1;}

I updated a single ‘inactive’ user to ‘moderator’, saved, then downgraded them back to ‘member’, saved… and everyone that was displaying as inactive started displaying correctly as member.

I do not know what type of glitch this was, or if it was a result of the conversion but am posting it here in case others converting run into the same issue.

Hi,

I’m very pleased with the Avatar Upload, great work. Also I like the integration into bbpress a lot, it’s really straight forward.

Only one small visual glitch that I noticed is that for avatars even when resized to 100×100 max, with small (1 line) posts the avatar image will overlap into the portion of next post, rendering the next user name unreadable. The callout for the img code has been included where suggested by the docs. Anyone else did recognize this as a problem?

I’m using version 0.8.3 of the plugin (avatar-upload.0.8.3.zip).

Thanks.

[chrishajer]

You need a plugin to post images because bbpress out of the box is very lightweight. Many forums don’t want or need images, so that functionality comes in the form of a plugin. For example, the largest bbPress installation ( https://wordpress.org/support/ ) doesn’t allow images.

If you post a link to your forum and possibly a little better description of what you are doing, what happens, and what you expected to happen, maybe someone can help you.

[lostdeviant]

WP 2.5 was released yesterday morning, so where is bbpress?

[Sam Bauers]

bbPress 0.9 is imminent.

We will do some final testing against the final release of WordPress 2.5 first though.

[pad]

Disappointingly that build does not feature a redesigned admin – is this not in the pipeline? It would be nice if it matched the new WP style!

Any update on a release date for 0.9?

[biodrama]

This is really too much. Why can’t I post images in bbPress? I am about ready to give up and go back to pphpBB, even though I don’t like it. Instructions said to upload plugin to my-plugins directory, which doesn’t exist. I created it, but it didn’t work anyway, backticks or no backticks. Why should we need a plugin just to post an image?

[affacat]

After upgrading to WP 2.5 and to bbPress – branches_0.8-r1381

I still have this rights/permission issue. Can’t add more than one tag, etc.

Will wait for official .9 release and post an update. This is frustrating.

[sealedsun]

Eight so far. But the forum is far from complete.

I would much rather have stuff like “Unread Posts” and a post preview integrated into the bbPress core than having to hunt down each and every piece of functionality my users expect from a forum.

Well that was a sneaky WordPress release.

They usually seem to wait for Mondays.

If you don’t want to wait for the formal official release of bbPress 0.9 , this is technically 0.9 beta (or release candidate) directly from the trac/svn:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1381/branches/0.8?old_path=%2F&format=zip

You’ll need it to match the new password method in WordPress 2.5

There are a TON of subtle (and not so subtle) bug fixes in bbPress 0.9 – Sam and MDA have been hard at work.

[jom]

I think WordPress.org already had Gravatar support for quite a long time, but I’m also interested, if they do run 0.9 by now?

[felixbruin]

Some thing like this !?

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/

[bryan868]

Just a shot in the dark, but I’m guessing the new WordPress.org is using an updated version of bbPress. Looks new-ish! (has gravatar support, etc)

[felixbruin]

They’ve a bit slow with releasing the new 0.9 version

[mun33b]

^ I suppose you’re right in a way but certainly more feature should be allowed for it. I’m just praying to god someone finds a way to get rid of the password in an e-mail thingy. Lets hope it is released soon…

[Munnday]

I am sure the team with have bbPress out very shortly – afterall WP2.5 was only just released.

@MUN33B: As far as I can tell from the nightly build I have been using, the sending password to email is still the default setting for bbPress (as it is with WordPress). In terms of comparing it to MyBB (which is a great bit of software – the team should be proud) it’s a bit hard – bbPress is intended to be a lightweight forum solution, minimal on features but highly customisable – where at software like MyBB tends to have all the features built in.

Well that’s my 2 cents anyway

[mun33b]

I’m upgrading as we speak. I hope 0.9 comes out soon aswell. I hope they’ve improved Admin CP and features. And hopefully got rid of the whole send password in an e-mail thingy because that is one of the reasons I moved away from bbPress. MyBB 1.4 is in Public BETA and it is 10x better then bbPress. Hopefully 0.l9 will have major improvements.

2.5 is finally live. So will we be seeing bbPress 0.9 now too? Let’s hope so!
