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

Sorry; I don’t understand the question. bbPress won’t move any files for you on its own. You mentioned that you’ve physically moved files (hopefully you copied, and did not remove them from the bbPress folder.) By putting

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

in your theme, you’re telling bbPress “I don’t need your help anymore and I have everything under control.” If you didn’t copy all of the files correctly, then bbPress won’t know what to do.

Neat. I definitely like the bbPress forums better.

You could just as easily put some code in the sidebar.php of your theme to show/hide whenever you want it to. Contextual sidebars are an oft requested WordPress core feature too.

I don’t think it’s too long. There are numerous long term infrastructure decisions to be made before creating an entirely new missing section of a live site. I understand your sense of urgency, but I need you to trust that it will happen when it can happen.

Developers should have plenty of documentation within the bbPress code itself; it’s all properly phpDoc’ed with great examples on what the functions do and how to use them. If you’re curious how to do something, take a walk down

arpowers: You mean forums including forums, topics, replies, user profiles etc. or just forums? For the latter, you can use bbp_is_forum().

bbPress 2.0 plugins can be found here.

I’ve just found an old 1.03 bbpress install with a ton of spam posts and spam tags. I don’t want to start over completely. I suppose going thru phpMyAdmin directly would be fastest, unless the 2.0 beta has new admin options in the backend.

To remove unwanted posts, I can just run a query for all posts created after a certain date in the bb_posts table.

How do I remove tags? I’m not sure what the relationship between bb_terms, bb_term_relationships, and bb_term_taxonomy are.

Are there other tables I need to look at where SPAM might have gotten in?

After I get rid of all the SPAM I’ll be looking to move to 2.0 asap

De-activated all other plugins and switched to the twentyten theme.

When trying to import, I got:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BPDB in /home/cristi/git/lomo/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 39

The standalone version of bbPress is 1.1-alpha.

Thanks.

Should mention that somewhere in the installation instructions.

Oh right, I remembered that I hardcoded the capabilities, using the $wp_user_roles global.

bbPress can’t add the custom caps it needs in this case.
