So that’s the other place I saw it. I’ve updated that ticket.

The is also a trac ticket for this

You inspired a quick plugin, that I then turned into a full plugin…

This plugin allows you to limit the email addresses of registering users to certain domains

I have an old wordpress blog I would like to export into bbpress – is this possible?

I would settle for posts and comments but users would be good too.

Here’s one a few people have asked for. This plugin adds links to pages within each topic in all topic lists.

My BBpress forum:

Basic theme with things mucked around a bit.

SamBaeurs categories patch

Hopefully by the time you read this the private forum plugin.

issues so far:

1. In IE the right column is waaay out of whack. How do I fix that?

2. I have the header map appearing in the background of a div – I’d like to put an image map there for those black buttons. Is this possible or is there a better way to do this?

3. I’m a factory worker not a web designer.

I gotta say, I REALLY like BBpress. Once BBportal is complete, my god, it’ll be the answer to all my dreams!

Hello,

I am a boob, obviously, and have messed something up terribly.

Or something is going wrong.

My bbpress forums have been fine for about 2 days, but I’ve been making little tweaks (changing appearance and adding plugins mostly).

Today I noticed that when you click forum titles, you get an error message. (Instead of /forum/4 leading to the forum in question, it is a 404). On the other hand, if you click a topic, you can read the topic (belonging to the same forum). If you then click the forum title above the topic post, you get the error message.

Forums aren’t loading.

I am not sure what caused this. I was doing stuff to the frontpage.php, but I tried reverting back to an earlier one and it did not fix the problem.

I checked the MySQL databases and it said they were fine, though I really don’t know what I am doing, obviously.

How do I fix this?

Any advice you have will be gratefully received.

Hi Atsutane. Thanks for your aid here my details:

– WP db prefix=> wp_

– bbpress db prefix=> bb_

I would want to only visualize the number of the comments.

Thanks!

[mattpeckham]

I’m getting close! I just need that last little bit – totally an aesthetics thing too. Functionally I’m thrilled. WP and bbPress = da bomb.

[fel64]

Not sure if it’s been achieved, but that total comments/forum/blogposts integration is most integrated people’s wet dream, I think.

[mattpeckham]

Hi all,

I’m successfully using bbPress post on my site, but I’m wondering if anyone’s had any luck getting it to post elsewhere in the frontal WP post itself. Currently it appends itself to the end of the post with the text ‘Discuss in forums’ with the counter, etc. What I’d like to do is get it up where the comments would normally be displayed. I plan to eventually excise the comments php call entirely, but since ‘filed under’ is one php call, and bbpress is another, I’m not sure how do accomplish what I’m after (or if it’s even possible).

Any thoughts?

My site

Best wishes,

Matt

To make this work in 1.0 you need to change the first few lines (or it won’t be available to activate as a plugin). I modified mine to this, which still has all the credits in there.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: bbEmoticons

Plugin URI:

Description: A Clickable Smilies hack for bbPress. Thanks to <a href="http://www.orioa.com/">kohaku</a> and <a href="http://plasticdreams.org/">aka</a>. Original WP Grins by <a href="http://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/">Alex King</a>.

Just replace the <?php at the start of your .php file with this and it should show up to be activated.

Edit: Oh, awesome, a overflow: auto property has been added. Thanks.

15 subforums is insane overkill in my opinion. What you need is a Family and Friends forum, a Plugins and Themes forum, and a Other forum. I’m sure that people will be able to cope with seeing Themes threads if they only want Plugins. Unless your forum is so active that, say, you get thirty threads a day in each forum, there’s just no point breaking it up more.

The best thing is, if you lump the forums together then you’ll have way more people seeing each thread, hopefully meaning that you get way more people contributing – not just the few specialists.

Almost every forum I’ve ever seen suffers from overcategorisation, and a a few to sometimes even most of the subforums just lie there unused. What’s the point in that? Get those peoples together.

it is doing it again now… Trent, please stop by and see if it does it for you.

Try the Forum Restriction plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/27

or maybe the Force Login plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/34

I haven’t used the Forum Restriction one, but from the description it sounds like you can set up forums that will only allow the users you specify to view/post in whichever forums you restrict. This would also allow you to have a “public” area where prospective users/students/whatever could browse around. The only downside would be that you would have to manually add users to the “whitelist” each time someone registers. Still, it is a pretty simple way to accomplish what you’re looking for.

If you use Force Login, it will at least require that a person be registered and logged in in order to view your content. Since anyone can register, your content would be public to that extent. Good news, though, is that you don’t have to add users to the whitelist. Bad news is that ongoing administration would include deleting unauthorized users whenever they register.

Plan A means plenty of admin up front (and each cycle) to set up authorized users. Plan B means ongoing (and variable) admin to get rid of unauthorized users if/when they register.

Good luck!

i do not know how to patch – if i will use actual SVN version, would it work without patching? Or can someone make a zip of patched bbpress?

[forgeron]

I have a bbpress forum installed and I am extremely excited by the way it’s working. However:

The group I made this forum for is selected, around a 100 students and around 50 to be added every year.

How do I make this forum password protected so no one else can even read it?

I would like them to be able to use the same address as is used now, but with a pop-up that needs them to type the password. Which can be something like “blablahello” and it forwards them to the forum. (The same password for everyone).

Is there something I can add in the index.php to make this happen?

Thanks for anyone who knows how to solve this.

[wittmania]

Trent, it is at lne97.com/bbpress/

However, it isn’t doing it anymore. I have no idea what changed. My only guess is that I logged out as the keymaster, logged in as a “dummy” subscriber, and then logged back in as an administrator.

I made a copy of this theme and released it here

This is the plugin for strike (used as “del” for compliance reasons, but you can change the code from del to strike if you want. Creating a new plugin and changing it it “i” and italics in the name versus strike will do that one as well.

I migrated from phpbb to bbpress. phpbb had a watch topic mod which would send an email whenever a reply happens on a topic. I was just wondering if there is like a “Watch Topic” plugin. I know there is a summon user but this does not help me because I want to summon whole groups of people. I know bbpress is young, I was just wondering if anybody was working on something like this. My users dont use RSS unfortunately.

I know that if you integrate your wordpress with bbpress you can display the latest posts – but can you display the latest posts from someone elses wordpress?
