Hello guys,

Well, after seeing that the final 2.0 is short to come, I took mathers into my own hands so I started working hard on a theme. With this thread, I am willing to share my knowledge. All I ask is to not waste my time by asking questions that are already answered in these threads:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

So, the site I am referring to is http://futezatorii.ro/ and if you happen to be romanian, LUCKY YOU! If not, Google Translate will help you and so will I because I am better than Google.

Ok, first off, by clicking on the red button on top (Cont Nou), you will see a beautiful register page. This was done using Register Plus and Lightbox Plus, so having said that… it’s a plus. Also the login form and forgotton my password form are all in there. Did I mention they use BBPress Shortcodes? Well, they do.

By navigating to the forum ( http://futezatorii.ro/forum/ ) you will see a custom logo for the forum. This was done using conditional tags. Also you will see a different kind of front forums because I thought that if I was going to start a new forum, I mind as well make it NEW! so you don’t see any Freshness and Last Poster. This is an old format and I think it sucks. It may be one of the many reasons that forums are not doing so good in these times. Also, you can see the last replies in the widget.

Going forward at the topics page ( http://futezatorii.ro/subiect/meme/ ) you can see that the New Topic button (Topic Nou) has a nice sliding effect. Basic jQuery shit, but it looks nice. I figured that having the whole new topic form there is just bleh. The same idea is applied to the “new reply form”.

On the topics view, there’s nothing much there, but I will say this: I removed the tags (why the hell would someone use tags on a topic? Why complicate a thing so much?) and I also disabled adding favorite topics. The forum is fresh and I didn’t thought it was a good idea. Maybe in the future I will look it up again.

ONWARDS TO THE PROFILE PAGE!

My profile is here: http://futezatorii.ro/cont/rats/

You can see that there are a couple of buttons there… well, I added some new fields with Register Plus and called them in user-details. Thus, if someone adds their G+/fb/tw/yt/www link, a nice button will appear. I thought that having a profile with only the “Created topics” and “Subscribed topics” is boring. Having said that, the “Created topics” and “Subscribed topics” has the same sliding effect as the “New Topic/New Reply” form. Kind of buggy now, but I’m lazy. (* – on the bottom of this post I will like to add something about this particular page).

Now the profile edit page, that you can see in this screenshot (and only in this screenshot because you are evil): http://i.imm.io/7JFn.png you can see the custom fields I was talking about and the upload avatar thingie. Yes, I got that. I used the User Avatar plugin for WP and it works awesome.

So that’s basically it (but believed me, I worked for weeks for this forum to be as it is now), but I am looking forward for a few things also:

– as soon as this is resolved: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/20rc1-loop-authorphp the commenters links will link to their profile (if they have one, if they don’t, tough luck) and (*) it would be great if there would only be a page for an user’s profile.

– a proper BB Code plugin

– fiuguring a way to connect some of the plugins with bbpress like: Pure CSS Emoticons, Lighbox Plus (and I think that’s about it)

– A SEARCH BOX! Please JJJ, I really need this. I know you are wondering how to implement it, and the answer is simple: make the WP Search Box just search in the forums. Why? Because the blog and the forums are two seperate entitites. If I wish to search for a street, I usee google maps and not google images. Those two shouldn’t be mixed!

If you need any tips and if I can help in any way, I will surely do so. I did not made this thread to spam or something like that (the site is in romanian, so yeah).

Sorry for any typos, any non-sense – english isn’t my native language and I’m in a rush.

P.S. There should be a preview button because I AM NOT SCROLLING UP TO SEE ANY MISTAKES.

Hello,

I tried today to migrate my bbPress 1.0.3 standalone to bbPress 2.0 (revision 3380) but something went wrong.

Problem is about the importer.

I followed all instructions (disabled all plugins in both WordPress and bbPress standalone, switched to twenty-ten theme) and started import.

I didn’t import users as forum is not integrated with WordPress and it’s a very little forum (about 7 or 8 members and about 1000 topics) but maybe I should.

Anyway… After 3 or 4 minutes, imports stopped. In fact, import stops every 3 or 4 minutes. Sometimes I got this error message :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homez.131/oreillemh/www/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-forums.php on line 84

Everytime I clicked to go and after a few stops I had a look at the result.

Here it is :

http://www.imagup.com/data/1126800888.html

As you can see, topics are imported as forums.

Moreover, same topics are imported many time.

As a result, I disabled bbPress 2.0 for the moment.

Could somebody help me ?

Best Regards,

Laurent

PS : I’m using BuddyPress and I really thought BuddyPress 1.5 would integrate bbPress 2.0… I’m a little bit disappointed but I’m sure it will be for next release, right ?

[pimarts]

Find all the CSS for tags and just hide them, that’s what I did. Not using them either.

Example:

.bbPress .bbp-form .form-allowed-tags {

display:none;

}

[Mike1233]

How can i delete the tag-line in editor? I will not use the tags and not show the line in the editor for new topic, new post etc.

can anybody help me? i cant find the right codes.

@Trifon I made the change per your last.. http://jeff-foliage.com/fall-foliage-forum/ and I think your’re correct that this will make it more user friendly… Of course if anyone else has suggestions I will be happy to consider them also…

I had a server issue and the admins were scrambling to try to figure out why is was dog sh*t slow… Well it seems to be back among the living and running nice and fast.. I hope not to many here got fed up with that…

It’s looking good as far as I can tell… Oh! if anyone feels I have earned a +1 on the page, feel free… I’m trying to get some more traffic.. aren’t we all?

One thing that might be nice is an email when a post is made so I can follow up.. This won’t be good if the forum got real active but when I only get one a day it would be nice to see new comments…

I’m assuming that new replies is where I should look for comments and if someone posts a new topic it will show up there.. If I had my way though I would want one page that shows both new comments/replies/topics all on one page… This I don’t seem to have with RC1 release… Unless it’s buried somewhere and I haven’t seen it..

I discovered this problem today and it’s so frustrating I don’t know what causes it:

On most topics I can only see the first post per page. I can turn the page, but only the first one shows up on that particular page. Nothing under the post shows up, not even the html tags are put out. The HTML just ends with ‘[less_than]li id=”post-1218″ class=”alt”[greater_than][less_than]div id=”position-‘.

I later discovered that I can only see a finished, normally rendered page if only one post shows up (e.g. the items per page is set to 15 and there are 16 posts on the topic and I’m on the last page).

The reply section only shows up if the above condition is met and I’m on the last page. After I send my post, it makes the number of posts on that page 2, so again, I can only see the first one and nothing below it.

---

I was using version 1.0.2 with the Ajaxed Quote 1.2, Allow Images 0.9, bbPM 1.0.1, Private Forums 5.0 and reCAPTCHA bbPress 0.2 plugins when I discovered the problem.

Shortly after that I updated to bbPress 1.0.3 thinking that a file might got corrupted, but the problem hasn’t been solved.

The strange thing is that I didn’t update or change anything in bbPress since yesterday (when it was working correctly).

I have no control for the phpversion, this is on a server I bought access to, so this might have got updated. phpinfo says: version 5.2.17-0.dotdeb.0

I was searching in the database too for a potential malitious comment (because I have had spam users despite using captcha) but I haven’t found any. Plus the nature of the problem doesn’t hint to that. (I can see all posts if I set the items per page to 1).

MySQL version: 5.1.49-3

BTW, everything in the admin area and besides this problem seems to be working just fine.

Please help me.

Thanks,

Peter

It’s hard to know for sure how a service like Akismet is working. I can look at stats, but I can’t examine the rejected posts. All I can say is, there is no spam.

Anyone here is welcome to test the (v2.0-beta-3b) forum using Akismet. Try to spam it.

http://www.amancooks.com/wp/forum/

[John James Jacoby]

Let us know how it works.

In the future I’ll look into adhering to the WordPress Discussion settings for restricting comments too.

[Rian Rietveld]

@pimarts, Thanks looks good, i will try it.

[Kye]

Excellent, thanks!

[John James Jacoby]

I’ve added a multisite option to handle the assigning of the default role and caps. I see value in having it work either way, and can see a case for toggling this setting even on a per site basis.

Multisite crisis averted.

[pimarts]

Are you sure the plugins are made for bbPress 2.x? Otherwise you’ll be spending a lot of time looking into it without any result in the end

Question Posted by : Sem Zulcic I wanted to jailbreak my iphone 4 4.2.1 with redsnow but I keep getting an error. I keep getting stuck at …

________________________________________

Don’t forget that his Permalink is correct and full http://www.iphone4jailbreak.org/forum/xxxx.html

so the Questions is:

1- what is plugins he use.

2- can i do a forum like that with BBpress or Simple:press with correct links and only want to show topics in <h2> and post summary only and the comments count as new authors

3- and if he didn’t use any forum plugins how can i do that to appear in google like forum ?

Thanks for help

[Rian Rietveld]

@pimarts: thanks

I can activate them now.

It would be nice when the readme.txt of the plugins would tell me that too

It still doesn’t work, no buttons to make up the text or add images in sight though , i will look further.

[Rian Rietveld]

Hi, I’m new to bbPress and have a question:

I’ve installed ppBress 2-0-beta 3 in WordPress 3.2.1

I made a directory /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/my-plugins and put in two plugins:

BBcode-lite.php and allow-images.php

Where can i activate them? They don’t show up in the plugin list /wp-admin/plugins.php and i don’t see a list with the forum-settings. And the plugins don’t seen to be working.

What am i missing here?

[folgerj]

Thanks I added the short code to create a new page that shows up on the menu line. I used the following…

[bbp-login]

[bbp-register]

[bbp-lost-pass]

[bbp-topic-index]

[bbp-topic-form]

At this location..

http://jeff-foliage.com/fall-foliage-forum/

My only question is there anything better I can do with the shortcodes to implement the login and register page?

Jeff

[Matalina]

I am using the twenty eleven theme currently unmodified and using the [bbp-forum-index] short code to display the forums. The forums are displaying correctly however I have set my template page to have a side bar as it should according to the page code I’m using.

My question is: Does the short tag use it’s own template? Is that why the page is not rendering as any other page? ie: no sidebar when it should have one.

I will be making my own child theme with bbpress support, but that won’t be until I finish a plugin I’m working on first.

http://bregandaerth.just-us.net is the site. The forums page should look like all the other pages, but it does not.

[ScottLamon]

Thanks for the short-codes John… but as a completely new user of bbPress how exactly do I use these? What is the proper structure, for instance, if I create a new page in wp and want to add this to the HTML?

The reason I ask is because I’ve been having problems getting bbPress setup properly and have posted this problem already in the forums but from what I gather – 1 or more of these short-codes might be the fix for my problem. Here is a snippet of my previous post stating the actual problem I’m having:

---

I’ve installed bbPress (2.0 version) and had a few problems then deleted it and re-installed. Now, when I go the “Forums” tab in wp-admin and I try to either edit the “draft” forum or add a new forum I get the naming option as:

http://www.maghosttrappers.com/forums/forum/????? (??? = whatever I type in as name)

Is this the correct settings? ie. /forums/forum/whatever_I_name … seems a little long and redundant…

I wasn’t sure if by re-installing I had caused a problem or if this being the “beta version” it was setup to not write over an existing forum…

Either way, can anyone tell me where and how to change this if possible (at least take out one of the “forum” parts?

---

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Scott

While I’ve got a little WP experience I’m completely new to bbPress so try to keep in simple aka. in “Lamon’s terms” ~ that is my last name after all LOL

1. Create a page with this shortcode [bbp-topic-index] (All shortcodes can be found here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-short codes )

2. Go to http://websiteaddress/wp-admin/options-reading.php

3. Choose the page you created in the first step to be your static homepage.

4. There is no fourth step

[master5o1]

You can create a regular wordpress page and add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] so show the forum index, and perhaps [bbp-topic-index] also if you want recent topics to be displayed on the same page.

[Anointed]

@sdp

Check #2 https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility

I have no personal experience using shortcodes as I prefer having total control. What I can say is that after adding all the bbpress templates to your own theme folder and adding in the theme support function, then you have absolute total control over how you want everything to appear.

[emersonthis]

If you’ve installed BBPress as a plugin (as I have), I think this is the more or less the intended behavior. There doesn’t seem to be any documentation yet, but I assume it’s supposed to act like other plugins, which should piggy-back on the current theme for their appearance. The problem I’m having is that I can’t figure out how to control this.

Small update: through trial and error I’ve determined that the “page.php” template is what’s getting used for the forum page (no matter what is assigned to the page containing the shortcode). It seems like this is somehow hardcoded into the plugin, which is too bad. It shouldn’t be hard for it to check the assigned template of the page containing the shortcode.

[emersonthis]

My wp-config.php file is untouched.

There’s one leftover line of code from when I was running the free-standing version of BBPress:

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/my/root/directory’ );

But I don’t think this should effect the theme at all.
