After a couple of weeks testing bbpress and several other forum solutions, we are really hesitating in running bbpress as our forum.
From what we see the bbpress plugin, while not as feature-rich as stand-alone bulletin boards like vbulletin, phpbb or xenForo, does one thing outstandingly well, which is the integration into wordpress.
For that reason alone, it would be worth giving it a try.
Unfortunately – and here comes our biggest issue – it looks like the bbpress plugin is currently not given full (or any) attention from WordPress.
My question is very simple:
How many developers / coders are writing code of the bbpress plugin currently ?
Is @johnjamesjacoby the only one?
Is there anybody else “officially assigned/paid by wordpress” to work on the bbpress plugin and documentation or/and support ?
John is doing an excellent job, on all his help he gives especially in the bbpress forum. But since the community is small and John is also working on the buddypress project, we are really worried to put our eggs in a “one-man-show plugin” basket.
Please tell me that I got this wrong and that there are at least several people currently working on the bbpress plugin and documentation.
Would be great if anybody could shed some light on this.
Ok, hum, all this plugin arent bbpress 2.0 compatible, but bbpress 1.0 compatible.
for bbpress login you can just put a widget in your sidebar, it’s on your wordpress admin bar
exactly same for last replies, last forum, …
bbpress 2.0 isn’t the same thing that bbpress 1.0
bbPress 2.0 doesnt require integration, it is a plugin to wordpress.
good luck
I am trying to locate the file to add code above my pagetitle on my forums in bbpress. I am not sure where the file is located. I am simply wanting to add a banner of adsense there.
I´m also having problem with this. I´m getting the forum to work, but I have problems getting access to css and template files.
I have created a child theme from the bp-default theme, which doesnt seem to support bbPress-templates, but still displays everything nicely somehow. Within this child-theme I change css and templates belonging to the bp-default theme and that works fine.
Now I would like to be able to modify the bbPress part of the site from this child theme aswell, but I cant because the theme has no template files for the bbPress installation (even though it presents the forum very nicely). I can change the css-part by just copying the css from the bbpress.css into my styles.css (it get´s priority). But there is no template-files to copy except those from the bbp-twentyten theme, and if I do, the appearance just breaks
What I want: The forum to look exactly like it does from the default bp-default theme, but with access to template files so I can remove and add stuff on my own.
Can anyone help me with this one?
pimarts: I really need your help in understanding if there is a documentation on how you did it or if you could provide me more assistance directly, that would be great as well.
kangenguru: When I did it using your technique, I had issues
the BBPress plugin did not have the bb-config.php, so I used the bb-config that is within the buddypress. Hence, I couldnt get the bb-press 2.0 to work. But again when I did it with what is built into buddypress itself, all the files and folders showed up like they were missing.I am not saying that integrating buddyPress+BBPress is bad, but all I am saying is that I did not know how to work with this issue (could be the lack of knowledge). If anyone could help, that would be awesome.
PS: please do not ask me to google for the documents… I have googled for the past 3 weeks and found several solutions and most of them did not work in my situation. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Topic: Inefficient / heavy query
Hello,
We’ve got a really big bbPress forum running at http://realmadridcf.nl.
At some point though, the site crashed because of heavy query. After some inspection of the SQL slow query log, we found out that it was this query:
# Query_time: 2.798700 Lock_time: 0.000138 Rows_sent: 5 Rows_examined:
366600
SET timestamp=1321347478;
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wpecs_posts.* FROM wpecs_posts INNER JOIN
wpecs_postmeta ON (wpecs_posts.ID = wpecs_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1
AND wpecs_posts.post_type IN ('topic', 'reply') AND
(wpecs_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wpecs_posts.post_status =
'closed') AND ( (wpecs_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_forum_id' AND
CAST(wpecs_postmeta.meta_value AS CHAR) NOT IN
('8365804','8558913','8558914','8561009','8561010','187','8365804')) )
GROUP BY wpecs_posts.ID ORDER BY wpecs_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 5;
You can see that this query is obviously way too heavy: Rows_sent: 5 Rows_examined:
366600…
After some examination we found out that the query was made through bbp_forum_functions.php – line 923 – function bbp_pre_get_posts_exclude_forums.
Has this problem ever occurred before? Is there someone with a solution?
Regards,
Tommy
as you like. my blogs and forums are all working. no need to be offended! i just found that after reading this thread *most* people’s questions came from not reading the sticky all the way through. and you are correct: the sticky doesn’t mention merging files. i read that elsewhere (i’ll try and recall where). does it matter? regardless: what i outlined works.
as for duplicates, they override eachother. there’s duplication, overriding and modifying all over the place in WordPress and bbPress. this is nothing new. all that matters is precedence at the end of the day.
nitpicking is pointless and unhelpful. take it or leave it. don’t really care. all i’m interested in is helping people sort this out. my way works. end of story. if you can indeed write a new plugin, then by all means give ‘er!
yours might be the halcyon we’ve all been hoping for! that’s the beauty of all this stuff! 
WR!
i got mine working almost without effort. i literally read the sticky at the top of this thread and it worked.
a couple of things to note, that people are stumbling over:
1) READ THE STICKY. don’t peruse it. READ IT.
2) the sticky actually says the same thing twice. COPY the CONTENTS of wp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentyten to YOUR theme’s folder, whether it be a child theme or not. in my case the path was wp-contentthemesSuperTurboTheme.
3) it’ll ask it you want to overwrite ‘style.css’. don’t. just let the OS rename it to ‘style(2).css’.
4) ditto for the ‘functions.php’ file. it should, temporarily, be ‘functions(2).php.
5) MERGE the two functions.php files. i just copy/pasted everything from ‘functions(2).php’ to the bottom of the ‘functions.php’ file. just like in the sticky. i didn’t merge the ‘style.css’ and ‘style(2).css’ files. but i DID make sure the ‘Tags:’ line in my ‘style.css’ file included ‘bbPress’ as the first item, just to be sure. it was an old requirement that doesn’t seem to have been deprecated anywhere and i’m a belt-n-suspenders boy…
6) at the very top of your newly expanded ‘functions.php’ file, add the line ‘add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );’ to the very top. just like in the sticky. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SIMILAR LINE IN the bbPress’ functions.php file, YOUR functions.php file MUST HAVE THIS LINE as well. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MERGED.
7) reload.
don’t get clever. don’t reinvent. don’t assume anything. just follow the steps and you should be fine.
your only challenge now is figuring out how to do your CSS. the ‘style.css’ will control the WordPress portion of the site. it CAN handle the bbPress styling as well, but i prefer to leave it to bbPress.css (located in the ‘css’ folder you copied over) to handle the forum styles. its a bit of a headache sorting out the bevy of tags that get generates, but hey, it works. and i DO mean headache.
not to beat a dead horse, but the real challenge IS sorting out the secondary CSS. i recommend Firebug to help you drill down the the styles. the byzantine class structure can make your head spin. try using the elements that are relatively easy to spot. and REMEMBER THIS: NOT ALL CLASSES ARE IN THE STYLESHEET. this can really toss a wrench into things. they are added for future slice-n-dice, but seems overkill to me. low-order CSS has proved easier for me. i can’t foresee a reason to slice the site up so finely…but it’s futureproofed to the wheel-wells!
good luck. hope this was useful. i apologize if i missed anything. i tried to be thorough AND simple.
feel free to correct me if i stepped wrong somewhere. this is what worked to me.
WR!
I just spent hours figuring this out so I thought I’d try and save others the bother by sharing it here.
The basic aim was to hide the contents of topics in a bbPress 2.0 forum from any users not logged in. This makes for a nice private forum.
I found suggestions about making forums hidden, private and so on but none of them really worked as they hid them for logged in users too.
My final solution was to make bbPress ‘dumb’ when it comes to logged out users. I.e., it could either be clever and say “there are topics, but you’re not allowed to see them until you login” or it could just say “there are no topics”.
The following code does the latter, dumb version by hooking into the forums, topics and replies loops.
Code:function pj_hla_logged_in_topics($have_posts){
if (!is_user_logged_in()){
$have_posts = null;
}
return $have_posts;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_has_topics’, ‘pj_hla_logged_in_topics’);
add_filter(‘bbp_has_forums’, ‘pj_hla_logged_in_topics’);
add_filter(‘bbp_has_replies’, ‘pj_hla_logged_in_topics’);I simply placed this within my theme’s functions.php but you could just as easily wrap this in a function.
Hope that helps someone!
That is a really good idea.
I wonder if it would make more sense to add hooks or filters so that it could be made to integrate with the Achievements Plugin?
Would that be cool?
If people think that is cool then we should probably find a developer willing to do a days worth of paid work on this to make this and all the other suggestions happen
Sure, but it’s in Hungarian.
Also, it’s a work in progress (the live site still uses the old bbPress which came with an older BuddyPress), so don’t judge!The topic page which shows the wrong odering is located at: http://beta.gitartanfolyam.hu/forums/forum/bazar/
To help with the Hungarian wording: the last column shows freshness, the words “napja” means “days ago”.
Thanks for any help in advance!
