I have encountered exactly the same problem!
I have the latest version of bbPress (downloaded only a few hours ago), php version 4.4.4 and apache server.

who knows…maybe CalendarPress will be coming soon. I joke, but really, I would try integrating wordpress and bbpress, and then using the event calendar plugin for wordpress. It is not full-screen unfortunately, but it is a very good calendar for keeping track of events.
I had a post on blockquote earlier, but I think you could really do some neat stuff with images if you wanted as well!

Somewhat off topic, we’re trying out bbPress as a tool for our Board of Directors.
What would make it invaluable would be a good calendar function to track events, and tasks that need to precede events.
I’m thinking of something that looks like google calendar, full page and easy to read. I guess we could just embed the google calendar into a page on our site but would prefer something that we can install and maintain on our own server.
Maybe a bbPress plugin, maybe something standalone – I don’t care.
Suggestions?
Click any tags, for example — > http://bbpress.org/forums/tags/plugin
and click —> RSS link for this tag.
I just installed bbpress and went through all the steps to integrate it with WordPress and so far everything is fine except that the times are screwed up. For example, the freshness of all posts is -1 (that’s negative 1) even though the posting times are perfect. That seems to be it and I can’t fix it. Any ideas?
I am attempting to write my first plugin. The idea is to display a graphic image for the posters rank. I keep getting this error.
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘=’, expecting ‘}’ in /home/brightan/public_html/bbPress/my-plugins/graphic-display-ranks.php on line 82
Here is the function that includes line 82.
function user_rank($id) {
$special_rank = get_special_rank (get_post_author_id());
if ($special_rank>0)
{
switch ($special_rank) {
case 1 :
$display_rank=$path_to_rank_images . $image_for_special_rank_1;
break;
case 2 :
$display_rank=$path_to_rank_images . $image_for_special_rank_2;
break;
}
}
else
{
$rank_count=get_post_count(get_post_author_id());
for ($i=1;$i<$num_ranks;$i++)
{
if ($rank_count<$rank_max[$i])
{$display_rank=$path_to_rank_images . $rank_img[$i];
}
else
{$display_rank="";}
}
}
return $display_rank;
}
What am I not seeing?
If some strings are not translated it’s cause they are missing to be included nto the internationalization functions, and this is a bug, You can open a ticket on trac about untraslated strings so they will be corrects annd included into pot. file.
For info about internationalizion and stuff you can refer to WordPress COdex searching for internationalizazion and localization, the info you will find there arcan be applied to bbpress also.
thanks all…
i have corrected “hot tags” bug (tag over other tags) and added the small green box near <h2>, used in original template but i had forgotten…
(download file is the same file, overwritten)
and thanks for “-1 freshness”, this is a demo forum, but i must fix it in my real forum.
I know there was a problem with the links for some people. I might just try the solution found here and see if it works for you:

I really like this theme! Well done! I am adding a template tag to your title so others can find it easier!

I have an existent wordpress install. I successfully installed bbpress and have the db pulling from wp install for the users. Now I want to try and wrap my wp around bbpress utilizing my existent header and footer in wordpress.
bbpress – v0.74
wordpress – 2.0.6
I have been searching everywhere looking where to start but alot say I need to set ('WP_BB', true); in the (bbpress) config.php. In this version of bbpress, it’s not in there. Am I missing something?
I like the theme. Looks like you have the “-1 freshness” problem with the posts though:

Hi,
I have just modified the refresh template (styleshout.com) for bbPress.
Demo and Download address is:
http://www.aydos.net/themes/refresh/
This is my first try. I couldnt work on every css tag.
Any comments welcome…
so1o has already graciously converted the old core code into a plugin. The initial release can be found https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/16
Ok. What about the fact that the .mo file doesn’t contain all the words (translated) specific to bbpress?
What’s the .pot file for?

The words “tag” and “category” are merely different specifications of a generalised mechanism for grouping posts. In some implementations grouping is user editable, in others it’s purely an administrator task. The former is often described as tagging, the latter categorizing. It’s most common too for tags to be flat, but categories to be hierarchical, but again this is more of a result of the reason for the implementation.
My opinion is that both tagging and categorisation are the same thing – they’re just examples of grouping, with different control mechanisms.
Grouping facilitates what psychologists call chunking (the formation of memory structures for perception and meaning), so yes, there really is a definite measurable benefit to tags and categories. The interesting bit is how you measure the benefit and separate it from the other factors such as how page layout can make the tags more or less comprehensible.
Currently in bbPress “forums” provide a single level of grouping (akin to simple categories) and tags provide unstructured flat grouping, though I’ve suggested in another thread that there may be an alternative solution which combines both for increased flexibility/benefit.
I am working at an implementation of the tag-based discussions idea (although not based on bbPress) and would simply like to ask to this community (which, like me is seeing the idea in action):
Do tags *really* improve online discussions (are tags *a lot* better than categories)?
Thanks.

In the default template’s register.php, I replaced the registration form with a message and link and it seems to have worked just fine. ( http://www.bandtr.com/wordpress/bbpress/ ). If there are some other factors at work that I am not aware of and need to know about, please let me know.
I search and read probably everything about localization, but didn’t have any luck updating correctly bbpress.
Where do i put/copy the .pot file. Is the .mo file necessary? Where do I copy that? I need a step by step tutorial on how to make the translation work.
Thanks so much.
bbPress 0.80 will not have the topic resolution stuff. There will be a plugin to re-implement it for those that want it.
Okay, Is there someone working on one at this present time, or..? I was just wondering, because for those downloading SVN commits of bbPress files.. it would be nice to have this plugin already uploaded and handy..
Especially with a few SVN commits back, that was partly, or totally removed already.. right? Thanks in advanced..

/Me didn’t upload that part of the SVN commit(s), but will apply changes manually if need be..
Well, I could just leave those files alone for my forums, and if any new SVN commits come through, for other code changes within those “specific files”.. I can manually apply the changes.. I just want to keep this for my forums, just incase needed.

Nope….bbpress-integration goes in WP and wordpress-integration goes in bbPress!
