Rather simple, but does what I need:

Fits in with the rest of the site quite well.

Hi there – recently installed bbPress and picked a placeholder forum name and now I can’t figure out how to change it?

I would expect to find some “general forum prefs” under the Admin screen of my forum, but no luck.

any advice?

[baptiste]

Here’s the ticket – hopefully the function or some form of it will get added. Possible improvement would be to limit the depth for forums with deep children

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/733

Not in production yet – still ironing out various bits, adding stuff that’s missing (oh how I miss AJAX posting), etc. But the breadcrumb stuff works for the forum and topic view.

[Null]

Demo?

[baptiste]

I put together some code to implement a real bread crumb trail for BBPress that should support any level of subforums. I’ll open a ticket for the change too, but until it’s in the trunk (hopefully), you can use it by doing the following.

In bb-includes/template-functions.php, just above the // Forum Loop // line, add the following:

(UGH – Why if I put code inside code tags is bbpress insisting on parsing it and tossing in backticks everywhere! To see the code, check this file: http://onthepitch.org/talk/bb-includes/template-functions.txt)

You’ll have to update your template, mainly forum.php and topic.php. Look for the line like this”

<h3 class="bbcrumb"><a>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> &raquo; <?php forum_name(); ?></h3>

and replace it with something like this:

<h3 class="bbcrumb"><?php forum_bread_crumb(); ?></h3>

And it should work for you.

This is a little off-topic, but iif you are getting that much spam, you may consider looking at Bad Behavior

It blocks spambots before they can add content to the database.

Thanks guys! We put a lot of work into the forum design. However, we are updating the entire website and the forums are getting a complete re-design (for the better of course). Feel free to stop by in the next few days to check it out .

you can check my website.. i have used gravatar for bbpress…

I’d like to add the same tool bar in all my web forms (by the way, it is up with bbpress), tinyMCE, fckeditor… whatever, but the same in all bbpress – wordpress forms.

Is it possible? so far I only was able of displaying tinyMCE in wp with a plugin.

Funny you should ask:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/statistics-module-for-my-views-in-testing

[_ck_]

I began working on this last night:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/views/statistics/

As you should be able to tell it’s far from finished.

I’m interested in hearing ideas for other statistics you’d like to see.

I already just realised a list of the 10 oldest/newest member registrations might be interesting.

Since all those calculations are “expensive” I’ll make it cache them for an hour at a time (perhaps adjustable).

Also there will be more time/user based calculations once I get useronline released for bbpress.

Currently bb-topic-views is required for the module.

I’ll release it for beta test after more work on it tonight.

[benbeltran]

It’s a nice theme, Though I think the views could use a little more line spacing, and maybe a bit of padding between the header/footer and the content. But that’s just me.

And in a different topic, 8.9 Server Load? Ouch!

[wsokc]

Inspiring from Gravatar plugin in WordPress, I try to find a work around to port that plugin to bbPress plugin, so I dont need to host image avatar files for each user.

Is there anyone had done this before ?

[wsokc]

Its Nice theme actually

And for me the size its really neat! and light….

See in firefox, seems no problemo…

When its release ?

Any web host can use a slew of stats programs. They are all web based and work well like sitemeter, awestats, webalizer, etc. As well, you just need to add your Google Analytics code off their site to your header.php and your bbPress forum is listed. You don’t need any special software. Just add the script they give you when you signup to your header.php file of your template.

Google Analytics at http://boakes.org/software/

Rename the file googleanalytics.php and copy it to your /wp-content/plugins directory.

Enable it on the plugins page.

Enter your Google Analytics User Account string (it’ll be something like UA-12345-6. It appears when you “Add a channel”)

Apparently, you have to signup with Google and receive a User Account string.

Google Analytics is free to all advertisers, publishers, and site owners.

Does this free apply to Discussion forums?

Does anyone have an opinion on Google Analytics or another forum statistics plugin?

i dont understand what “define USER_BBDB_NAME, USER_BBDB_USER, USER_BBDB_PASSWORD, and USER_BBDB_HOST” means..

here is my config.php file. please let me know if this is correct.

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

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

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

I’m working on a project that calls for a seamless integration of the two with all the bbPress functions available in WordPress and vise-versa. I have finished nearly everything including adding the bbPress admin menu items to the WordPress panel.

However, the items don’t actually display because when WordPress checks to see if users can access them, the roles, such as “moderator” aren’t listed.

Is there a way, in bbPress, to just get a list of the current users capabilities, so it can be filtered into the WordPress list? The project requires that it be done entirely through plugins.

[1drummergirl]

I just updated my bbpress forum after a few months of neglect and I’m looking to pump some new life into it and add some new plugins.

There’s not near as much activity in the forums as my regular blog, but I do get some folks who would rather post in the forums than on the front page of the site.

Let me know if anything looks amiss.

http://www.girlscantwhat.com/forums/

[benbeltran]

Nice idea! I’ll have to work on making my forums nicer if I want them to appear on that list

IMHO validation is just a syntax check and the least of bbPress problems right now.

The most useful doctype for the next decade is:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Get back to me when a browser DOESN’T support that

Makes life sooo much easier. Then posts can contain <b>, <u>, <s> and <i> and all sorts of standards people have been used to for the last decade instead of reinventing the wheel!

Now instead go round up a dozen php plugin developers and get them onboard and we’ll have some real momentum

[_ck_]

I’ve been considering making this ability but it really worries me about the volume of email if someone subscribes to many, many topics. Spam filters, not to mention your server host can trigger bans if too much email is being sent.

But I do have all the routines I need however to build such a plugin based on code from my signatures plugin and ignore member plugin. (Digests are another matter however, that’s a bit of work and requires tracking of last message seen, which is not natively built into bbpress)

There is just too much to create but too little time to do it though. I’ve got too many little projects going.

Hello,

Another view on integration..

I’d love to use BBPress as a repository for WP coments (at least some of them).

When they are a lot of comments, WP is not very usage. FGor example I have a popular post with 141 comments ans loading the page takes a long time and cause errors to google ads. I’d love to use BBPress as a repository for that but I don’t know how import a thred of WP comments as a BBpress forum.

[Andrew]

Ah, you were right. With pretty permalinks off it works. Now I have to figure out how to get bbPress to play nice with WordPress. Hmm.

Thanks much!
