Hi,
Can the “post moderation before publishing” property be added to bbPress?
Some people register only for spam, or some does not obey the rules of the forum. So, we may want to moderate new members’ posts.
For example, a new member is registered to our forum.
Like WordPress, a member who has not any approved post, (or a number of posts which is defined by the admin) the message of him/her may be moderated.
I think this property will be very useful for most of the bbPress users.
The above text should all be saved as a file called .htaccess in your forum root.
In the above example, the subfolder name is “forum” – you will need to edit that text is your bbPress install is in another location. Here for example it’s in a subfolder called “forums”. Change “forum” to your folder name and you should be good to go.
Good luck.
Yeah, definately Trent.
The site I’m working on has 3 sections.
1. Forums for our specific projects (charity store products, our art projects, forum for sponsors promotion)
2. Not For Profit Sector Resources (including a forum for fundraising initiatives for a local hospital)
3. Arts Resources (including forums for different fields of the arts which includes community driven art projects)
plus your normal general, private and admin forums.
The subcategories will enable the page to guide readers to where they should be.
First off, an example can be found here. Download the bbPress YouTube plugin! Now the disclaimer…….
This plugin will only Key Masters and Administrators to put YouTube videos into posts. Why only those two groups you might ask? Well, because this plugin right now allows ALL embeds and objects out there to be put into your forum posts and I thought this might be a bit much for the general public! This plugin was started by myself and then mdawaffe finished it off for me. Nothing special, but the next version will have the code to only only YouTube videos in an easy way, but for now you need the entire embed code from YouTube, like this:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lh5316fcit0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lh5316fcit0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
If you decide to take out the conditional for adminstrators, do so at your own risk! It is nothing special, but at least will do until we can get a better version!
Enjoy!

Well, that isn’t completely true because it allows users to categorize the forums. For instance, I might have 1 main forum for family and friends which has say 5 sub-forums in it. I do this and make them so only friends and family can create items in it. Then, I have another main forum for my plugins and themes which I have subcategories forums for each one. Then I might have my last main category for all other subforums. It just helps break up the forum into ‘easier navigation’ in my opinion regardless of the number of forums. In my example it might only be 15.
Trent
Are you sure you need it? Unless you have a huuuge unmanagable number of forums you shouldn’t actually need categories, and why would you have that many forums in the first place? I don’t know your situation, of course.
I am a new bbpress user and I have tried it 3 times. Finally I have read the answer of thomasw98, and fixed my system.
thanks a lot…
Nice,
I’ve installed it on http://www.dfur.com/. Is there a way to configure the links like the http://www.network.net.au/bbpress/patches/permalinks/teaser.gif
Thanx.
Pretty sure you do not need to chmod anything as the standard chmod settings for files and folders gives bbpress all the access it needs.
Hi,
following problem: i have no php-knowledge!
What i want:
I have a cold-fusion-application, this application send the username and the md5-password (encrypted!) to an other server, where the bbpress-forum is in use.

Can anybody help me? I hope you understand my bad english

It is a directory that you create to put plugin files into (including this patch). Since bbPress doesn’t come with any plugins, it is not created by default. All you need to do is create the /my-plugins/ directory off the root and put this patch plugin into it and it automatically will work. If you want to use any of the plugins, they will be thrown into that directory as well.
Trent
Can someone post a how-to link on installing patches?
From the looks of things it looks like it. Not sure if it will be 1.0 or 1.5, but it is something worked on. If nothing else, it might become a plugin if it doesn’t make the core. No ATA on when 1.0 is coming out though as it has way more things going on than expected.
Trent
So subforums are to become part of a standard install of bbpress? Is this going to happen soon(ish) or am I better off waiting entirely or installing the patch? I really want to use bbpress but I need the subforums.
The fix i already put inside the plugin seem not working. 
Maybe in the future bbpress should automatically fill up the display_name
Anyway i try to see what i can do with that.
You have to create a folder called my-plugins inside the bbpress root e.g. /bbpress/my-plugins/ and then upload the plugin to that folder.
I am a little frustrated since I don’t know where the ‘my-plugins’ is in the bbPress directory.
Actually, I tried to install that, but I don’t know where the ‘my-plugins’ is on bbPress. Do I create it? If so, where?
Thanks.
This ‘fix’ seems to work for most users to not have Akismet nuke each post as spam. There will be a better solution in 1.0, so sorry about this!

The best thing to do is going through the permalinks in the documentation. Most can use +multiviews, but there is a workaround in this:

I am afraid not. It would require you manually creating a forum for each site. If you wanted them all to have different sites, it would require a bbPress install for each and every user with different databases. If someone hacks the code to a MU version of bbPress maybe, but right now, not that I know of.

Hello,
After installing bbPress, I am starting to get annoyed in clicking “Not Spam” every time I make a post. It actually took me an hour to realize that was the problem in causing no posts to be displayed on my board.
Is there anyway I can just post without having to press “Not Spam” for each post I make? Not only that, but for my members as well.
Thanks.
If the forums are in a directory inside WPMU, you will have to see if there is a thread over in the WPMU forums about excluding certain names from being a signup name. That will be the only solution short of moving it outside to a subdomain or something like that.
