Hi All,

I thought I’d share my crack at k2 for bbpress, just replace style.css with my one, it’s not perfect, but I think it’s a good start !

let me know what you think

“a list of all the functions in /my-includes/template-functions.php”

Indeed, and to be honest I forgot about that.

Anyway, wouldn’t it be neat to see some examples, etc a la the WordPress codex.

If we assume for a moment, that there a several people who would be happy to contribute to a topic like that, where do we go to from here, and how does it get collated in documentation.

FWIW, bbPress forums are terrific, but they are often answering simple questions (like mine??) that really should be in documentation. Someone suggested a wiki but I think WP has been there and done that. Somehow the user community needs a forum (excuse the pun) to help build the documentation.

Gee, sounds like I’m all fired up, which I’m not. But I can see bbPress dying on the vine for want of continuous improvement in documentation.

Similar to the “split topic” idea, another moderator tool that would be a boon would be the ability to create a post in the name of one of the users.

Say, for example, they’ve left a comment on a WP thread; it would be nice to be able to migrate that comment (ok eventually an automated migration or total integration would be nice, but in the meantime manually doing it is acceptable, but it’s seems a bit impossible currently).

Another question that would be a solution… is there a way to limit the length of bbPress forum title posts?

[startribe]

Hey Community,

I had a question about this latest discussion plugin, which is awesome by the way:

http://www.atsutane.net/2006/11/bbpress-latest-discussion-for-wordpress/

Is there a way to shorten the length of the titles being pulled from the forum.

For Example, for a forum with a title as:

“this is a forum title and I am a bad poster who make titles way to long”

to this:

“this is a forum title…”

This would really help out because our latest discussions from the forum on our wordpress home page break a bit when the titles get to long.

Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Orion

Sam, thanks for giving us a different direction. I forgot all about the database collation. This post in particular, and the thread too, had some good information about this:

You folks are a hoot….

I’m a creative designer/web-monkey/illustrator/writer/under-paid literary assasin who has two kids and an ex-wife – and who loves to play around with WordPress and bbPress.

so there!

Greets:

Is there any reason (ie security?) why not to use the strike tag within out bbpress install?

Thanks,

Where is the documentation on implementing a search from the first page of bbpress? Or could someone tell me how to do it? Thank you.

[firewire11]

Ok fixed, thanks.

But now when I browse to /forums/ it isn’t integrated with theme?

The register link from the forums is integrated into wordpress theme, though the page is messed up.

I am a technician for Audio, Video, and Control equipment. The only programming I do at work is control programming, but it’s not like php and stuff. I got into bbpress plugins because I wanted to brush up on php skills and learn SQL… plus it’s fun (and doesn’t look bad on a resume).

[chrishajer]

From the source of install.php:

// Let's check to make sure bb isn't already installed.

...

if ( $installed )

...

die(__('<h1>Already Installed</h1><p>You appear to have already installed bbPress. Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade scripts instead? To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.</p>') . '</body></html>');

I think it would just work by browsing to your forum in that case.

Is this helpful?

Hello, I’m trying to integrate my bbpress forum and our blog. I’ve made my own template in bbpress, which i’m very pleased with, but I can’t get it work.

The problem is that i can’t login to my forum. I’ve tried to login with members I’ve manually added in wp and a user that i created in bbpress! It seems that I login but I can’t reach the panel that a user who is logged in is able to! When I write a username and pw correctly it doesn’t say anything, just “jumping” to the root. But when I write a bad uname and pw it says that its wrong uname and pw!

I’m triyng to not use my own “plugin” (tabs and loginform) but it still dont work!

Is there something I have forgotten to do?

(im using the 0.75 bbpress and the newest wordpress)

Hi, found this link in another post

http://www.adityanaik.com/blog/bbpress-and-wordpress-integration/

Following the steps and I get

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_serialized() (previously declared in /home/niallr00/public_html/dds/forums/bb-includes/wp-functions.php:916) in /home/niallr00/public_html/dds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 165

What does this mean? Or can someone put me in the direction of another way to do it? Quite surprised there’s nothing in bbpress’s documentation about this?

Plugin inspired by http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/625

Adds a new Admin section where you can add users if you want to. It’s just like the “add new user” function in wordpress.

Download here:

http://la-school.com/2006/downloads/admin-add-user_1_0.zip

To install simply put it into your /my-plugins/ folder.

Ok I’ve posted this on WP forums but thought I should add this here since it may be a bbPress issue.

My multi author blog started crashing the server yesterday and we were offline most of the day. My host tried various things and in the end he upgraded my blog to 2.1 and he asked me if there was anything new I had installed in the last 48 hours.

I told him it was bbPress that I had installed. And yes there was heavy activity on the forum I had created for the authors with 15 to 25 authors conversing heavily in there.

So I was asked to delete the bbPress asap. I’ve delete just the files (and like a fool don’t have a backup of those files… the database tables are intact)

Question: The forums are an instant hit amongst the authors and I would like to put the files back and check if I run into the same problems… how do I do that? Just download and install the files in the same physical location and then I’m done? No setting up anything? Or if I reinstall the whole process will I overwrite my tables?

Yes there is, it’s called a WYSISYG editor. WordPress has one, I think (hope) bbPress will get one too. I already have a ticket about this for version 1.0 of bbPress, so time will tell if this gets implemented. If not, someone will (I will do it when I have time for it. I already have a WYSIWYG editor laying around that should be easy te implement into bbPress) make a plugin for this to add a very simple/basic WYSIWYG editor to bbPress.

[chrishajer]

Maybe this thread will help?

Your example works for me on XP with Firefox 2.0.0.1

I’d like to use bbPress on our intranet – we only have a small number of users and email isn’t distributed to desktops.

I’d like to be able to manually add users in much the same way as I can in WP.

Maybe the Keymaster can do this already – but I haven’t found it??

I think this should be a new topic, but I think what you are looking for are two plugins:

Avatar plugin (for the profile)

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/18?replies=1

Allow images plugin (for the posts)

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/5?replies=16

Maybe a mod can move these two posts to a new topic?

When a user clicks on “Recover lost password,” they are sent an email containing a link to reset their password. When they click on the link they receive a message that says their password has been reset. So far so good. When the user tries to logon with the new password though they get bbPress error message that says “Key not found.” However, their password has in fact been reset and all is good.

The same error occurs on this board as well. Is this a bug? and does anyone know of a workaround?

[Null]

Hmm got this error now when entered your code:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /xxx/bbpress/my-plugins/bbmenu.php(123) : eval()’d code on line 1

Thats where the $switch begins…

If you want the beta of my plugin (for code), throw me an email and I will email it (got some uploading problems atm)

email: mauricederegt at gmail.com

Thx going to try that, and well I am no programmer at all, learning along the way. It goes like: Hmm that would be cool for bbPress -> is it possible (YES) -> how to make it? (google ) -> try and error -> try and error -> try and error-> try and error -> getting fed up with it -> post help cry on this forum

I’ll learn along the way

And yes I want it this way, cause it’s only 1 record that looks so clumpsy, all others just have 1 record…

[thomasklaiber]

I just wanted to say that the new version is up.

The major change is, that now the times are stored as mysql-date in the database so timezone offsets can be handeled much easyer.

If you’re expecting any problems, let me know
