I edited the Karma Fruit theme for wordpress a bit to match the Bbpress theme. They dont look totally alike. There are some slight differences but I think when you look at it you think

of the Bbpress theme. I loved the Bbpress theme so much I wanted my WordPress to look the same . If you want the file changes let me know. Its just a few lines of css to make the difference in the original look for Karma Fruit.

Yes, the line says “spaces” which adds to the confusion. BBPress touts a feature which doesn’t exist!

[thierryyyyyyy]

I feel the previous post is a spam ….

I’m also experiencing the “tag is very long when space is not the default parameter”.

If bbPress team still don’t want to hear your request, I will perhap’s make a plugin to workaround this bug (for me, it is not a feature …)

Not sure if your familiar with Vanilla. Another clean, very popular php forum software package. Here’s the link to the plug-in page that allows users to decide if they want the “Buy a Drink” (paypal donate) on each of there posts. Not being a programmer, I don’t know what it would take to port it to bbPress.

Hey there, i’ve just installed Avatar Upload and it works brilliantly i must say! However identicon for bb-press as posted by louisedade (created by fel) gives me an unexpected error when i try to activate, running this outside of the plugin centre or whatever you want to call it, it gives:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: add_action() in /home/bblocked/public_html/www/forums/my-plugins/identicon.php on line 286

Inside the plugin centre it just says fatal error

I have identicon installed on my wordpress blog and bbpress retrieves all functions from wordpress etc etc intergrated bla bla bla Any ideas?

EDIT: When editing out add_action at the bottom it doesn’t produce any errors… so i don’t know what bbpress’s problem is anyway of getting it to give more info? “Fatal Error” doesn’t explain much lol

Hi, sorry I’ve read and read and tinkered and tinkered without luck.

BB does not see the WP logged in cookie for some reason.

wordpress is in /news/

bbpress is in /forum/

I am using a plugin on wordpress to change the cookie path to “/” and firefox shows the cookie is indeed set to the “/”

the domain is set to “example.com” without the “.”

right now I’ve got in config.php set as

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘example.com’;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

So what little detail have I missed?

Thanks for any help!

You have to define your WP portions in config.php of your bbPress installation and have the plugin for WP installed to make sure WP uses the current bbPress users and not just having bbPress use the new users.

Good question Null. Post it to the devlist!

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,….

[airdrawndagger]

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?
