In the database, the post_ID is an int of size 20. Does that mean that bbpress can only manage 1048576 posts ?
Probably not. There’s a lot of custom code talking to two different servers via http, cron jobs, svn actions and a dozen other things.
It’s not terribly well abstracted for use on arbitrary sites. To be honest, it’s a little spaghetti 
My plan was for bbpress.org/plugins to be open by this past Friday. It will open tomorrow (Monday Jan 8th).
hmm, then it seems I have a problem, because nothing shows when I do a search (just bbpress results). I haven’t upgraded yet, maybe that will fix it.
eek, I take that back, it breaks again when editing a post.
I hardcoded my install path because I couldn’t find the function name for the home install.
I wouldn’t have a clue how to do this, but it would be nice to be able to import data from one install into another. I did this with 2 installs already (as 1 had little data) and it was a nightmare because I had to change all the topic numbers, post numbers, authors, etc. in the database manually.
There are a couple more databases that I wouldn’t mind importing into one database and you can be sure that manually doing it isn’t an option!

FYI: After upgrading to 0.74, my bbEmoticon images were broken.
I changed paths in bb-emoticons.php to get them working again:
“bb-images/smilies” to “../bb-images/smilies”
Ok so now here’s another feature I find missing in bbpress: polls.
Yeah but I would like to use this page on my own site as well. Pref as a plugin
Thanks jaim3. I can’t tell you how excited I am about going from a board with 86 tables to one with 8! Light and fast is what my members will appreciate. I think the simpler design will result in higher adsense revenues from my message board channels.
I have integrated bbpress to match the tech-o-crunch theme and will be releasing it to the bbpress community once I have it like I want it.
I’ll also be posting a casestudy of the bbpress adsense theory I mentioned above on my blog.
Can we get the changed files for the release? It would be a lot easier to update that way :$

I can’t promise anything since I’have never seen IPB database structure nor code, but I can give it a try. Drop me a line at jaime at iteisa dot c0m with the public URI and I’ll have a look at it if you are still interested.
Jaime.
Wow!
It was the permalinks. I shouldn’t of set that to “true” during the installation.
bbolman and Trent, thank you so much for the help. I am excited about bbPress, for not only is there huge potential behind the integration with WP, but the communities are awesome!
Thank again,
Orion
Did you by chance turn permalinks on in bbPress?
Hey Community,
I have installed and integrated both WordPress and BBpress. WordPress is working fine, and I am utilizing the integrated user plugin. Both are working from the same database.
My only issue is when I click on a forum to view from the home page of BBpress I am given a blank screen of “No input file specified.”
I did a search an came across a post by a person who received a similar result, but under different circumstances, for is error was during installation.
Any how, I am new with bbPress, so any general directions or instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Orion
Yeah, any plugin that uses ‘init’ is now needing to use ‘bb_init’, correct!
Trent
D’oh! I see the upgrade notes now. I swear, they weren’t there before! (I hope, LOL)
Ok, thought so. Thanks, Trent.
I have one plugin which has init in it (Online List), so I just change that to bb_init, right?
Just code changes. Just file overwrites. Obviously, in the download, there is no:
.htaccess
config.php
/my-templates/
/my-plugins/
If you have those files, just keep them and overwrite the rest. I am sure you knew that already, but I thought I would post it in case others come across this thread!
Trent
Any particular procedures for upgrading? Or just install on top?
Nice!! I’ll try that out then.. Thanks for updating it, and sharing it!

I was wondering if someone could throw together a plugin that would have an option in the admin area to clear BOZO users. Most people don’t mind having thousands of users register for their forum, as they don’t hurt anything being a bozo, but with the integration with WP, all Bozo’s are moved over to WP.
That forces me to delete the users anyway. 99% of new registrations are BOZO, so I figure that I would like a simple “Click Here” to delete all the users in admin. That or just use cron to call a file that deletes bozo users. I was working on it myself, but seemed to hit a bit of a snag.
The best option would be to edit the bbpress-integration.php plugin to not bring BOZO’s over to WP. That would mean editing it to not register anyone that is a bozo. That or register them and immediately delete them.
Any help would be appreciated!
Trent

Also, it would help if your bbPress version was a fairly recent one (≥ 561). You can get a “561” folder at http://sostomates.fr/projets/bbpress/bbpress.zip

Any of you php/mySQL whizkids out there wanna see if you can make this script work with invision power board? I only know enough php to be dangerous and know my limits well enough to know that trying to do this (for me) would be a big, big timewaster.
I’d be willing to dish out a bit of cash to anyone who wants to play.
I’ll supply the ipb db for you to play with.
The speed difference is negligable.
I would always use bb_get_option() so that a “power-user” can softcode the option value into the $bb variable if they want to avoid the extra database hits. bb_get_option_from_db() is mostly useful when you want to override data that has been softcoded (which probably isn’t very often).
PS: bb_get_option() is the function, ‘bb_get_option_{blah}’ is the filter.
bb_get_option( ‘my_option’ ) grabs the value for my_option and filters it through anything you’ve defined in the ‘bb_get_option_my_option’ filter. The filter is probably pretty useless for data that plugins store since you probably won’t have to modify on the fly the data that you provided in the first place.
The filter may be useful for data the core bbPress provides (you might want to filter ‘bb_get_option_page_topics’, for example, so that whenever bbPress core calls bb_get_option( ‘page_topics’ ), you can modify the returned value on the fly).
