Hello,

I am currently using bbpress 2.0 beta 3b.

When I create a page on wordpress, and use the shortcode [bbp-topic-index], bbpress topics show properly in my page. However, if I set that particular page as a front page, [bbp-topic-index] does not work properly.

For example, I am currently setting “Topics Per Page” to 10, so 10 topics show in page 1. Therefore it will show as “Showing topics 1 to 10.” When I click on page 2, it should show topics 11-20, but it keeps saying, “Showing topics 1 to 10”. I would like to be able to show topics 11 – 20, and so on.

Can you advise?

I have made a custom theme, following the directions posted in the forums here. And have gotten everything to work fine, with the exception of these sidebars.

They appear below the forums making the page extra long. I’ve taken out the php code that calls the sidebar in every forum page in the template .zip file and they are still there.

At this point I just want to get rid of them, but if we can adjust it so that they look the way they do on the blog page it would be nice.

I use phpBB at the moment. It used to be pretty bad but version 3 is acceptable.

The 3 things I hate about phpBB are:

1) Lack of SEO URLs/ pretty URLs/ custom permalinks structures

2) There are no plugins. There are MODs – meaning installation is a pain in the back and code is changed. Forget about updations completely – it is excruciating. Contrasts with the rather pleasant one-click installs and upgrades that WordPress has made me accustomed to.

3) Lack of multilingual capability. WordPress has WPML…though I am getting increasingly disillusioned with it (critical features missing, basic things like Canadian flag, Slovak language etc missing, not using international conventions in naming, arrogant and unhelpful support etc). I run a multilingual site and need multilingual forums. If that’s not possible, then to begin with I need a Google Translate gadget so that people can read in multiple languages at least.

It’s not just the lack of these features that cheeses me off…it’s the unwillingness of the developer community to consider these for 3.1/3.2

And there is a major rewrite underway v4. I believe v4 will be the wipeout of phpBB…they are writing from the ground up, which is never a great idea (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html)

So excellent opportunity for bbPress.

I would switch as soon as I see the aforementioned 3 in bbPress…

Hey guys. One of the projects I work on has a bbpress forum that is very popular. I am talking recent daily traffic of over 160K page views.

When the traffic gets that crazy requests from bbPress start stacking up until all the memory is exhausted then mySQL shuts down.

Initially, we had the site on a RackSpace ‘cloud sites’ hosting account but it could not support it. The forum/site continually crashed during peak traffic.

Recently we moved the site to VPS.net. With access to the my.cnf we were able to keep the site going but it required us dedicating 3 CPUs and 3 gigs of memory and even at that we maxed out and ssw slow downs.

I am not much of a programmer or mySQL guy so my question to you is this… would you be interested in looking at our log files or anything to see what the root cause of this is and to maybe enhance, modify, whatever… offending code? db queries?

I am looking forward to moving over the bbPress plugin but I am a little apprehensive that it might perform worse during these peak traffic times which we cannot afford.

Perhaps your poking around and doing an analysis could help us both out. Thanks!

I’m using a custom menu in my WP installation and want to include a ‘Edit Profile’ that links to a user’s bbpress edit profile page.

I’m using the following function:

bbp_get_user_profile_edit_link()

Which looks like this in the sidebar:

<a href="<?php bbp_get_user_profile_edit_link(); ?>" class="button">"><?php _e('Edit Profile','mytheme')?></a>

But it doesn’t work. Any suggestions on the above?

bbPress 2.0 plugins are installed like normal WP plugins, in the wp-content/plugins folder. The my-plugins folder is only used with bbPress standalone, versions 0.x and 1.x. Most of the plugins out right now, and possibly all of them, were designed for bbPress stand alone and will not work with the bbPress plugin. Please make sure the plugins you are trying to use were made for the version you are using.

There aren’t many options for bbPress 2.x. You can administer:

forums at /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum

topics at /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic

replies at /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply

other settings at /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress.

If it’s not on one of those pages you’ll have to dive into the code.

Hi. Got an install of the bbpress 2.3 beta on a WordPress multisite with Buddypress on the main site. Its hidden from users for the minute while I set it all up. Yeah, I know its a beta and ‘Thar be dragons’ and all that, but really the forum is backed up anyway, and as I say, it isn’t actually visible to users yet.

Just one thing, in the existing site I’m migrating from (which wasn’t multisite but just a single site BuddyPress with integrated single site bbPress), I had set some forums to be visible to members only using a bbpress plugin. Now it looks like in this new bbpress you can set certain forums to ‘Private’ and in the help it says ‘Private (seen only by chosen users)’. Has the bit to choose these users been implemented yet? I can’t find how to chose the users that can see a private forum.

Maybe I’m missing something obvious. Any help appreciated…

RC 1 due out tonight, with lots more little audits and fixes. Thanks to everyone for testing and feedback.

Hi there,

First of all, thank you for this amazingly powerfull forum software. With the right modifications, it does exactly what i wanted!

However, iam using this forum on 2 websites with modded versions of Kakumei and Misty theme. In theste themes it shows a recent discussions tab above fora. What it doesnt do however, is show where these discussions are taking place! Is there a code/plugin for this? I wasnt able to find one. So iam looking for sumpthing that creates a extra column (called forum or wathever) were the location of the discussion is mentioned.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Ruben

you know, some people are not ashamed posting spam on this opensource community making or lovely forums dirty!

Whenever I see one, I tag it “spam”, I hope there’s an automated process that puts spam-taged posts in a freez-mode until reviewed by admin.

A function/system that allows bbpress.org forums users to contribute in fighting spam would be really appreciated.. I’ll be the first one to use it

Got thru installation procedure, but one error when tried to create ‘bb_allposts’ table. Error seems to be syntax error??? How do I fix or how do I re-install? If I have to re-install, do I need to remove anything first?

Hope you can help

I created this template:

<?php



/**

* Template Name: bbPress - Topics Created

*

* @package bbPress

* @subpackage Theme

*/



// Begin Template

get_header(); ?>



<div id="container">

<div id="content" role="main">



<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'topics-created' ); ?>



</div><!-- #content -->

</div><!-- #container -->



<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

And placed it in the bbp-twntyten/ directory

But all I get is:

This user has not created any topics.

Any suggestions?

(and I’m logged in as admin).

[janoochen]

Another options is to place all the content of page-front-topics.php to front-page.php.

[abdessamad idrissi]

you got lot of echos there man!.. make it simple

<td class="num">

<?php echo "<a href='" . topic_last_post_link(forum_last_topic_id()). "'>". topic_title(forum_last_topic_id())."</a>"; ?>

</td>

to limit the characters, use the substr php function -google it

[ashdavies]

Hi,

So I’m trying to display the latest topic of a forum on the home page with a link to that forum.

How do I go about limiting the output to 40 characters?

Currently I’m using this code

<td class="num"><?php echo "<a href='"; topic_last_post_link(forum_last_topic_id()); echo "'>"; topic_title(forum_last_topic_id()); echo "</a>"; ?></td>

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Ash

thanx man I searched before but with wrong keywords

[abdessamad idrissi]

I used to run v1.0.3 then I decied to go plugin version..

I did an import but since my forums contains arabic topics; some topics didn’t make into the new version, also, even if they show in my forums when you click on a topic title to view it, it leads you to 404 page.

I noticed articles contains characters such as; ! , ? are not handled by the WordPress importer.

another thing is the search field provided in the twenty ten theme: it doesn’t search inside the forum but inside the blog -how to enable forum searching?

Thanx for the great work and keep on moving

PS. you can compare Arabic and Latin written topics on my forum here: http://forumcine.ma/forums/forum/forum-general/koi-d-9/

It’s a plugin for WordPress + bbpress 2.0.

It allows users to ignore other users by way of hiding their posts and topics.

It’d be great if anyone with spare time could test and give feedback

This happened:

Importing Users



We’re in the process of migrating your users...



Renamed the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables to bb_wp_users_tmp and bb_wp_usermeta_tmp respectively.



WordPress database error: [Table '<removed for privacy>.bb_users' doesn't exist]

CREATE TABLE wp_users ( <code>ID</code> BIGINT( 20 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, <code>user_activation_key</code> VARCHAR( 60 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', KEY ( <code>user_login</code> ), KEY( <code>user_nicename</code> ) ) SELECT * FROM bb_users ORDER BY <code>ID</code>

There was a problem duplicating the table bb_users to wp_users. Please check and re-run the script or duplicate the table yourself.

After that I only got:

WordPress database error: [Table 'md220579db167769.wp_users' doesn't exist]

SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = '<removed for privacy>'



WordPress database error: [Table 'md220579db167769.wp_users' doesn't exist]

I delete the tables bb_wp_usermeta_tmp and bb_wp_users_tmp trying to fix this problem: stupid of course …

[ashdavies]

Just fixed it.

Turns out the BBpress SEO Tools plugin was stopping URLs from working, along with BBcode, post signatures and a few other little things.

Deactivating the plugin and using an alternative SEO plugin has allowed these things to work.

Any updates on this? It’s tricky sorting topics.

[norby500]

After trying out bbpress with buddypress i really think that bbpress as it is now works so much better. I just didn’t like how it worked in bbpress. This does everything and more than quite alot of forums out there and i hope it stays this way

Ok, updated the zip.
