I had a forumforum contributors who asked for a Reply link under each posted message.
I believe that this was a very good suggestion as it was not obvious how to reply to a message especially when a Topic had many posted messages spanning multiple pages where the reply form was on the last page. If you did not know this then you could wonder where the reply form was.
Go to the following link to see the code update to just the post.php file.

The state the trunk is in right now needs a great deal more bug reports – I find at least one new problem every time I try it because they keep changing chunks of code that are critical with backwards compatibility.
You don’t want to unleash it as a regular release in that state, even as an alpha, because despite my constant warnings and explanations, people use the alpha on live, active sites, usually because they absolutely have to use the very newest WordPress despite it’s bloat and bugs.
I’m fairly certain there will be another alpha release before the end of the year though.
If you know how to use SVN then you can help contribute with quality bug reports on TRAC.
I did as johnjamesj said (except that i left “secure auth” cookie salt as blank because I don’t see it anywhere) I am on wp 2.7rc1 and bb1.0a2. After installing, BB integrated and extracted the wp admin id to assign it the keymaster role. But I could not login in the newly created forum. On the WP side, I was stripped of my admin status and told that I don’t have the permissions.. bla bla. After initial panic, I edited wp_capabilities (under wp_usermeta). It was changed by BB to
a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}
I changed it to
a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}
and got back admin powers in wp much to my relief.
But the problem remains, I can’t login to BB. Something is seriously wrong.
I tweaked two similiar themes to create one that looks nearly identical. I wanted to post them here. If anyone would like me to zip the themes up, I would be willing to.
I do want to give credit to the person who created the themes in the first place. I’m not great with coming up with raw code so really all the credit is theirs.
bbPress original theme – http://bbshowcase.org/forums/?bbtheme=MistyMorning-bbpress
WordPress original theme – http://themeterminal.com/demo/index.php?wptheme=Ad+Clerum
My merged theme – http://www.asparenting.com
I mark it as resolved 
> Rev. 1828 seems working …
> Our support guys say it’s depends of files permissions – they must be not more 755.
After
chmod -R 755 bbpress
it’s working too …
And I don’t use dreamhost )
Thanks all
I know what is SVN, man And use it every day, for bbpress tests too. But alphas are good for bug reports, help others and wordpress integration testing. We sould discuss one named pie of code. I love digits (rev numbers are digits too), it’s my job, but the people is normal guys collection.
Oh and by the way, you don’t have to wait for official releases, simply install a SVN client and you can keep in sync with the very newest trunk copy (or any other release) any time you’d like.
It’s the same technique as for WordPress so use these instructions
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing/Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion
also see this topic for more details/ideas
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/svn-procedure-for-checking-out-bbpress
and if your server is on apache, here’s how to easily install SVN as a client instead of the full package:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/svn-procedure-for-checking-out-bbpress#post-18739
I got to thinking, maybe we’re doing it all wrong.
Rather than try to work WordPress into bbPress, why not just include the bb-config.php file inside the wp-config.php file instead.
Viola, from what I can tell, everything works like a charm. CK, your bbCode plug-in breaks some of the WordPress tags/shortcodes though, [caption] etc…
This way, bbpress can be directly referenced inside the entire website, and WordPress can use it’s functions AND the ones from bbPress to micromanage the login situation.
I really need to investigate this more, but I think that I might be on to something with this whole integration issue.
A simple plug-in could be made to include the core WordPress queries inside bbPress for pages, categories, etc… Without having to duplicate load everything inside the header, etc…
Okay, so I just did this like 20 minutes ago and I’m a little giddy about the idea, and I’m sure there’s a myriad of reasons why this won’t work, but I think it’s a neat idea…
Can you look at any logs to see why the 500 error is occuring? Sounds like the web server does not allow the directives you’re trying to use in .htaccess.
BTW, I use AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php on almost every install without a problem. Maybe the server just doesn’t support it. Does your host have instructions for enabling PHP5 for your webspace?
Ok, guis, WP 2.7 is here. Give us bbpess alpha 3 to test it.
Because of … there are only 59 active tickets 
Try replacing that line in your .htaccess file with this
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
Hi
I use instant teleseminar for recordings and they generate a code that you embed in your site etc. to display the player and download links.
This is a sample of there code
<iframe width=”452px” height=”130px” frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” src=”http://instantTeleseminar.com/replay.asp?eventid=5220734&preffix=custom”></iframe>
It won’t display the player… how do I get this to work?
Is there an audio player plug in for bbpress like there is for wordpress?
Thanks
Ann
It isn’t about it being a regular basis, it’s about it being possible.
In my testing and installing of bbPress, I usually bounce back and forth between a KeyMaster, an Admin, and a Member test account, and sometimes I am logged in and make a post under the wrong one.
It’s more for convenience and possibility sake than it is for daily use or practicality.
Forums with many users would just have a million entries in the drop down. Heck I dunno man I just thought of this idea!
I have a bit of code that does an ajax-ish drop down of all members and adding something up near the topic meta area is really easy but I still don’t understand why you’d want to change the author of a topic on a regular basis?
Nothing with roles, actually something much simpler.
As an administrator, I would like to have a drop-down list on the post-form.php that has a list of all forum members, so that I can assign or change the author of a post.
Within the <?php if ( is_bb_tag() || is_front() ) : ?> there would be another drop down list, but rather than forum, would be the list of authors to say started that topic.
I am making good progress re-organizing my old code and debugging some quirks despite it’s complexity and should have something for everyone to play with over the weekend.
@elwagar: Conversely, once they are registered you can assign them a role by going to the bbPress admin, WordPress Integration, and remapping. I feel like a plug-in could help this registration laziness along, but I also think this should just work correctly right away.
I actually had a similar issue years ago integrating phpBB 2.x and osCommerce together, trying to get one to work inside the other with cookies and what-not was a really big problem, one that I never really did get working 100% correctly.
I have no experience with bbPress Live, but it might be worth looking into. CK posted a really nice SQL example on how to grab information without a plug-in, so if you can’t get that to work, you could always put in a little manual labor.
update: there is a better version a few posts down
I had worked this out this quick and dirty routine but then I realized you might mean not to show it within the forum list. If you mean something different let me know.
In front-page.php
Change
<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>
to
<?php
forum_totals("init");
while ( bb_forum() ) :
forum_totals();
?>
and then this after the end of the forum list routine
<?php endwhile; ?>
to this
<?php
endwhile;
forum_totals("finish");
?>
This is the main function you can just drop at the bottom of front-page.php
<?php
function forum_totals($x="") {
static $last_parent,$total_posts,$total_topics,$all_topics,$all_posts,$total_counter,$all_counter;
if (function_exists('bb_get_forum_is_category')) {$category=bb_get_forum_is_category();} else {$category=false;}
if ($x=="init") {$last_parent=false; $total_topics=0; $total_posts=0; $all_topics=0; $all_posts=0; $total_counter=0; $all_counter=0; return;}
if ($x=="finish" || $last_parent!==$GLOBALS['forum']->forum_parent || $category) {
if ($last_parent!==false && $total_counter>1) {echo "<tr><td align='right'>$total_counter subforums:</td><td class='num'>$total_topics</td><td class='num'>$total_posts</td></tr>";}
$last_parent=$GLOBALS['forum']->forum_parent; $total_topics=$GLOBALS['forum']->topics; $total_posts=$GLOBALS['forum']->posts;
$total_counter=0;
} else {$total_topics+= (int) $GLOBALS['forum']->topics; $total_posts+=(int) $GLOBALS['forum']->posts;}
$all_topics+= (int) $GLOBALS['forum']->topics; $all_posts+=(int) $GLOBALS['forum']->posts;
if ($x=="finish") {echo "<tr><td align='right'>$all_counter total forums:</td><td class='num'>$all_topics</td><td class='num'>$all_posts</td></tr>";}
elseif ($category) {$last_parent=false;} else {$all_counter++; $total_counter++; }
}
?>
I have just realized that…Bugfixing can be so frustrating…I will check again tonight…
@mvds: The idea is that logging into or out of either/or will do that action on both sides for a unified website function. If you log into or out of either, and it affects the other immediately, and you have admin access to both sides regardless of where you login, that’s a good thing.
Have you tried logging in and out of both your WordPress and bbPress installations and accessing both admin panels? I mean each combination each way.
- Log into WordPress; Check admin panel access and cookies; Log out of WordPress
- Log into bbPress; Check admin panel access and cookies; Log out of bbPress
- Log into WordPress; Check admin panel access and cookies; Log out of bbPress
- Log into bbPress; Check admin panel access and cookies; Log out of WordPress
That is where the problem lies, and I have been running the most updated trunks of both bbPress and WordPress the entire time. 
_ck_ – FWIW, I hate the vBulletin search layout.
Short term, I was able to make this work by modifying 1 core WordPress file. This only allows for integration of the theme, but still does not allow access to the bbPress admin panel without changing the bb-config.php file back to original.
It’s essentially a quick fix to get the theme working with all capabilities playing nicely.
Basically I’m hard-coding the capability check from bbPress into WordPress. There should be a filter for this, but I’m not sure how to hook into it correctly without a mod or plug-in on the WordPress side.
~My fix is in no way a permanent solution. Auto-updating your WordPress installation will overwrite this fix.~

Eh don’t defend bbPress – it’s the same problem with WordPress. They’ve never had a good search because writing a good search is hard and takes time from other needed things.
I haven’t released the search because after working on it for a week it became so overly complex that debugging parts of it was taking way too much time. When that happens I get mad and then usually re-write things from scratch.
I think my biggest mistake was I tried to make the layout template-able, so you could move stuff around. That added way too much code and logic problems. And then there was the wordpress awareness, more code.
I might just make a simpler version of it. I may just copy some of the vbulletion search layout since it’s very logical. Maybe I’ll have something by the end of the coming weekend if I have enough time.
