If the twitter API can bring in an RSS feed, it can pull your bbPress feed for sure. That would be what the wordpress plugin is doing anyways. Just need to look into that I would guess.

Interesting to see if anyone is since most people here concentrate on bbPress and WordPress.

There is a plugin here called ‘bbPress Post’ that integrates your wordpress blog comments into your bbPress forum as topics for posts. Fel64 also ‘redid’ this plugin and has it so the posts are created in the bbPress forum from the wordpress blog and all comments are in the forum, but also show up in the wordpress post as comments as well.

Other software blog programs, I haven’t heard of any. Moving over to WordPress is a good option in my mind if you haven’t looked at it already since bbPress and WP are made and developed by many of the same people

I don’t think that you are a fascist for wanting to have some control, but that is why most forums promote ‘moderators’ to help with the duties of using a forum. If it is too much for yourself, promote a user in your forum to be a moderator and help out (hense, I am a moderator here at bbPress.org).

The plugins will allow you to control what can be said in your forum (mdawaffe even has a language filter plugin), but that is only half the matter. I don’t believe any forum software will give you the ‘fascist’ tools to control exactly what people do and say, but there is a plugin here as well (can’t remember the name) that can have you give ‘warnings’ to members that don’t follow the rules before banning them.

Take a look over in the ‘extend’ tab of this forum for the plugins that might help you with your controlling tasks, but try promoting a moderator as well.

My 2 cents.

I have bbpress(0.8.2) integration with wordpress(2.2.1).

I did not have any forum management before I add a forum to my previous wordpress website. Number of users are increasing daily. So as I did not have any experience with management of a forum, I have some problems.

In the beginning I installed to standard version of bbpress. After one month of forum experience, I want to add moderation plugin. Because my users are not experienced forum users. I have a range from middle school students to company owners or retired workers.

Some of the users sends strange messages, which I dont want to see on my forum.

Some of them do not allow forum rules. And some of them dont know how to use a forum. Namely when they have a new question, they write “I know it is not related to the subject …”.

I think what I need it to make the all messages for new users, moderated. Or all messages are moderated. I dont know why but the moderation plugin do not work with latest version of bbpress. So I have to uninstall the plugin and make messages un-moderated.

I will also try “move it” plugin, for unrelated messages to subject of message.

But what is the best management style for such a community. I think bbpress.org do not need moderation of messages, because at least its community know how to use a forum.

Is it better, not to waste my time to manage the forum. Namely no moderation to messages or just live what ever people writes to the forum. As I said before this is my first forum, and I also dont want people to use msn-type language usage. Am I fascist ?

Aha, glad I spent an extra couple of minutes searching, as I was about to ask this same question. bbpress looks great btw, I really like the slimline approach.

[drmike]

It’s no longer being developed, has bugs, the author has taken off and no one know where he or she is, has to be manually added to your blog, causes errors on the plugins page,….

I tried just copy-pasting my kakumei css to my wordpress css and while the structure of bbpress got back to normal with some minor quirks, it majorly disrupted my header and footer and with it my wordpress as well. How would I work around this, any other way then going through the stylesheets and changing everything so nothing’s colliding? I feel that’s A LOT of work.

Well jQuery 1.1.3 is out. Will it be shipped with the next bbPress release? jQuery 1.1.3 is 800%+ Faster, still 20KB and a lot of bug fixes.

under_title looks like a pretty lame hook; I doubt you can trust it’s existence in every theme and it may get removed entirely in some later version of bbPress.

If you need to add content to a topic page there, I’d just edit your custom theme.

[chaoticmess]

I just downloaded my copy of BBpress today… is this fix included or do we still need to apply

this fix?

[shark2097]

I unzipped it and uploaded all the files within the folder. Perhaps I didnt go to the bbpress admin cp. Theres a link to it right?

[drift82]

Turns out my problem was rewrite rules from wordpress overwriting bbpress ones. Whoops.

[M]

Maybe I’m mistaken, but it almost sounds like you didn’t unzip the file first.

[shark2097]

Nevermind, I uploaded all the files via ftp (file manager) and it works. (I think) I tried running config.php as soon as I filled it out correctly but all it did was give me the exact text as there was in the file. No installation tables, html, or anything. Just text. If its ok, would you like me to provide a link to it?

Its still a php file type but I dont know why its just text. I got all the database paths right and the prefix table. Any suggestions?

[Rhys Wynne]

Should be very straightforward to do from the wordpress base. Could be nice to do it for both wordpress and bbpress.

[gspark]

It was working before but now it isn’t, does it have to do with sharing header/footer of wp ?

I also notice there are two different plugins not sure if both do the same, i’m using the bbpress intergration one

I’ve just set up a bbpress forum and everything seemed to work one day, then the next it stopped. All registrations and new posts would lead to a blank page. I couldn’t find the problem in the code, reinstalled a few times, and eventually I found out it was because of akismet. For some reason, it was flagging new registrations and posts as spam or something. It would leave the page blank, so I never knew what was going on.

I’ve removed the API key from my config.php and everything works fine. My forum is currently unlinked because I’m still setting up. But I would like to get akismet working before the spam hits it

Hi

I was interested in downloading your forum software and as I uploaded the zip file into my phpMyadmin database, it just gives me a long query error: “You attempted to load file with unsupported compression (application/zip). Either support for it is not implemented or disabled by your configuration.”

Is that because I have to change a file extension for the archive? And how do I edit the text in the file, “config.php” with out changing its file type? (I use WinRAR as my zip file manager)

Also, I tried uploading the archive via ftp. I get yet another error stating: “Abort pclzip.lib.php : Missing zlib extensions”

Any suggestions?

[snakefoot]

Created a forum using the bbpress along with WP integration.

http://smallvoid.com/forum/

I’m very surprised of how much of the HTML-markup is part of the bbpress-core and not just kept in the theme code. It is impossible to create a XHTML compatible forum without modifying the core-files. But I guess quirks mode works okay.

*EDIT* Guess I should have created my own thread, but too late now

this is a sweet plugin looks more like a phpbb forum

http://www.fahlstad.se/wp-forum/

any pros/cons ?

[gspark]

For anyone with an interest, i figured how to make a simple private user area

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/124247?replies=1

here’s the kicker on the BBpress end, since a wp account will be created for users who join the forum, what i did was leave the subscriber setting alone and adjusted the contributer to read/read private pages only, that way there’s no interference for default users accounts when people join the forum

hey can anyone help me out been trying to install bbpress

i then run the index.php file and this is the error it gives me
