@jerledb – Login/register are supported via page templates, there is a login widget, and eventually shortcodes too. A register widget is a nice idea but leads way to lost-password and activation widgets, none of which will make it into 2.0.

Spam isn’t really handled yet, since there’s no one spamming forums that don’t use software that isn’t released yet. There is a Trac ticket regarding Akismet integration, but either Akismet will need to be updated or a special version of Akismet to concentrate on post spam (which isn’t really a WordPress issue.)

Regarding IP addresses, there are WordPress plugins to help with this, and WordPress multisite comes with this kind of functionality baked in. Traditionally WordPress doesn’t handle spam at a user level, since registered users are typically already trusted to some regard. We run into this issue a little bit even here at bbpress.org. bbPress does log the IP address of every topic/reply that is created, so a plugin can use that to check against a ban list or something.

Just fixed a bug in the breadcrumb root that is the “root” cause of what you are experiencing. This will be fixed in Beta 2. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

@zeldain – Are you using a shortcode to output your forum root? If so, there’s no way for bbPress to know where the root of your forums actually are when you’re *not* viewing that specific page.

Check Admin > Settings > Forums for a better understanding on how breadcrumbs work. You are able to make adjustments to bbPress slugs similar to making changes to your WordPress category and tag slugs, to help you configure your forums the way you need them.

@JJJ aww, dang. Was hoping it wasn’t that Any hope for future updates that will include embed code / img tags working in bbpress plugin?

[scylderon]

In the old version of bbPress, I could redirect to a WordPress user profile (or BuddyPress profile) by editing template files and changing profile links to:

<a href="<?php echo get_user_slug( get_post_author_id() ); ?>"><?php post_author( get_post_id() ); ?></a>

Doesn’t seem like this will work with the bbPress plugin. Is there some way I can do this with the new version? Thanks!

[Stunt]

Nevermind. I figured it out. Here’s the code.

<?php echo bb_get_avatar( $topic->topic_poster, '30' );?>

Someone should publicize this — there’s literally barley any information out there on how to do it so simply.

30 is the size of the avatar.

[Stunt]

I’m trying this:

<?php echo bb_get_avatar( $topic->get_topic_author(), '30');?>

But no luck? What am I doing wrong?

@jckbco – If you use bbPress 2.0 (the plugin) and then have WordPress in Multisite mode, then yes you can. Each site in the WordPress install would need bbPress active on it. And that’s it.

@Bjorn – Took me a while to find too – it’s in your wp-admin under tools>>import (and will show up at the bottom of the list if you have the bbpress plugin installed) – at least that’s how I’m guessing it happens.

@Gautam – Thanks much! I’ll give it a try!

tofugu: You’re not doing anything wrong. Try adding this in your wp-config.php:

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

[tofugu]

The importer has been timing out on me, importing maybe around 7 topics before redirecting itself to a wp-admin page and dying

Does anyone know if I’m doing something wrong?

P.S. Damn this plugin is awesome.

[John James Jacoby]

You’ll want to create a new page, and use the

[bbp-topic-form]

shortcode.

That would be nice, and I’ll most likely research something similar to this after 2.0. The problem is there is no way to add an additional theme path check on top of the parent theme and the child theme locations. Even then, that doesn’t make the single-, archive-, and page- templates match the HTML structure of your current theme, which means manually editing them anyways.

As annoying as it is to add theme support for bbPress and not have the files there, that’s also the easiest way to communicate ability between theme and plugin. If you add theme support for post thumbnails, and then don’t use post thumbnails in your theme, you just don’t have post thumbnails.

Thank you John for this thread.

I’m currently working on the bbpress-plugin integration for my own themes. One point which is really annoying:

If I add theme-support for bbpress, the plugin only looks for bbpress-templates inside my theme folder. If i haven’t any template files stored there, no fallback is implemented and therefore nothing is displayed.

Wouldn’t it be nice, if bbpress looks first on the child-theme for its specific template-files, second at the parent-theme and last takes the builtin template-files from bbpress-twentyten theme?

The drawback with the currently implementet solution is, that I have to copy every template-file over in my own theme. Regardless of the fact, that I only want to alter one specific template-file. Same goes for a specific css stylesheet.

I looked at the sourcecode and it seems that i can hook into the filter “bbp_get_theme_compat” and simply de/register a new ‘bbpress-style’ stylesheet. But I think I’m not the only one which is looking for a solution inside bbpress-core.

If I missed something, do not hesitate to correct me.

Thanks
