I’ve just created my first plugin. This plugin allows custom profile fields which a user will see upon registration and subsequently when editing their profile page. The values will also show up on the view profile page. This plugin also allows the addition of the profile fields from the wordpress’ profile page. Refer to the instructions in the plugin for simple configuration details.
This plugin was developed in a bbpress/wordpress integrated environment. I’m not sure if this works on bbpress installs only. It wouldn’t hurt to try, however, and I’m sure it can be modified to work with bbpress w/o a wordpress integration.
Please try it out and let me know what you think.
Here’s the link:

Thanks!

When you say Http_Auth, do you mean something like the LDAP auth?

As well, if you have an integration with WordPress, bbPress integrates logins perfectly with WordPress.

Not yet … but I’m still interested. AMP will still work if you add the javascript to the header either from the standalone player or from wordpress with the amp plugin installed. Picks up any links to flv, mp3, mov, mp4, m4v, m4a, m4b, 3gp, wmv, avi and asf. The youtube etc flash players would need to embed javascript though and so will need to be ported to bbpress via quicktags … which is what I’m looking into.
Hi,
I was wondering if there was a HTTP_AUTH plugin/how to available. We’re thinking about integrating BBpress to our server, but we’d like to keep the existing user and password list, so that Bbpress would smoothly be part of our portal.
We might also use WordPress, maybe something done for WordPress is already working for BBpress ?
Since I haven’t found any relevant information so far, I though I might as well ask for help 
Reinstall did the trick for the other user.
I looked in the MySQL table and surely enough, the password were MD5 encrypted…
But still, resetting the password DOES NOT WORK. My email is correctly set, BBpress is functional, but as the owner I don’t seem to be able to change my password because I never receive any email from BBpress…
Interestingly, it seem to work for other users.
Maybe something is wrong with the mail server ? Just guessing…
Honestly all I did to learn was download existing plugins (there weren’t many when I started writing them, so you’re at an advantage there) and check out how certain things were performed… I also used windows search to look through the files of bbpress to see how things were done.
Once you see how it is done currently (or how similar functions work), then you can start writing your own subroutines to either intercept, replace, or just create new functions that can be installed into the themes.
Unfortunately, I don’t know much about dealing with WP. I never wrote anything for WP, and the plugins of mine that play nice with WP only do so because people like Trent and spencer helped me test them.
But if you ask specific questions, there are a number of us here who can help you if we know what you’re asking 
Thank you, I’ll do that when I clean the script from the references to phpbb and other stuff one day. This one bit me, as I have PHP4, but the script can still be used to import the data directly and not put it in a file.
I had the same problem. Its not very hard to do it. You need to use add_action or add_filter. See my problem here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/742

I have no experience also but I managed to do a plugin.
Good luck!
The anarchy plugin has been discussed here as a solution to this, but AFAIK it has not been implemented at all.

hi! i need a plugin, file or script for insert image, youtube video, avi etc into my bbpress post. I try with fckeditor but i have problem when i insert youtube video. How i can do? Help me!
8-BitBrother,
I think this plugin will help you:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/15?replies=1
It allows you to have non-english characters in your name, as well as spaces, dashes, underscores, etc.
This code is written for PHP5. It works perfectly.
PHP4 users will need an extra piece of code, however, because the function file_put_contents does not come with PHP4.
So copy this piece of code and paste it on the bottom of the php file, but before the ?> tag
if (!function_exists('file_put_contents')) {
function file_put_contents($file, $contents = '', $method = 'a+') {
$file_handle = fopen($file, $method);
fwrite($file_handle, $contents);
fclose($file_handle);
return true;
}
}
Not sure if this helps, but mdawaffe (head cheese) put this up a few months ago:

I’m having a problem with my integrated bbpress install. Word Press allows users to create names that include spaces in their names
(ex: “Mr Happy”)
But these users cannot log into bbpress because it does not allow for names with spaces. After the log in it removes the space so that “Mr Happy” now reads “MrHappy”.
If there a way to fix this so that bbpress will let these users login other than changing their names? Thanks!
Nothing automatic, but you could create the users yourself as an admin with this plugin:

This thread makes it sound like the category feature will be added into the core? Any idea when will this plugin stop working?
I really do not understand,
http://www.dfur.com/designer_furniture/page/2 redirects 301 to http://www.dfur.com/designer_furniture.
Why is this? I have no 301 in htaccess!!! Is this a bbPress thing?
URL=http://www.dfur.com/designer_furniture/page/2
Result code: 301 (MovedPermanently / Moved Permanently)
I wouldn’t really expect this Forum Category hack/enhancement to last too much longer though… Read from here down:

/Currently running Trunk 1.0-alpha, and the Forum Cat hack just doesn’t play nice with it. Also, like it says there, sounds like something similar is being implemented into core. I don’t know for positive, but, I uninstalled the Forum Cat hack though..
Is there a way to have bbpress automatically issue a username and password that is not sent via email. I’m trying to setup an anonymous discussion board so I don’t want any way that the users could be identified. Thanks for the help!
My WP cookies have a hash added to the end of their name (using WP 2.1), this hash is the same as the password hash. Did you delete this/edit it in WP?
diff is your friend to find the differences. You might want to diff the original and your modified version, then once you see what you changed, diff the .8.1 files with the originals and see what changed there. Then you’ll need to reconcile all the changes.
This is the sort of thing that prompted me to ask about using svn to take care of the changes.

I noticed there are a lot of changes to the default theme in this security update. My custom theme was heavily based on the default; will I somehow have to locate and propagate these changes to my custom theme? Or were the changes merely cosmetic?
Maker, Yes indeedy…this is definitely SamBauers plugin being used. It’s great. Be sure to read the whole thread, because if you don’t update every forum by adding it to a category, then you WILL suffer the consequences! (you’ll get some nifty mysql errors until you fix it).
Also, my suggestion to ANYONE using this patch…use it BEFORE you implement your design. I had quite a few things that had to change when I implemented it, as the post/category/forum hierarchy was quite a bit different from teh standard install. My CSS classes got ALL out of whack.
Good luck!
Well, I got it working, but it uses a hack rather than a plugin. It wasn’t too hard, I guess I could document the hack until such time as I work out how to make it a plugin.
The thing I don’t quite ‘get’ yet (not having made a plugin for either WordPress or bbPress before) is how to modify the behaviour of an existing function. If I write my own version of a function, will it overwrite the existing function?
Yeah. Request already waiting for approval.
