I went ahead and installed the plugin, also migrated from a standalone forum, it’s looking pretty good but I get a Internal Sever Error when visiting Replies, anyone else have this problem?

Also, none of the replies comes up in any topics, is this a migration issue or is it just that the code isn’t finished?

General update – bbp-twentyten has been converted back into a child theme of twentyten. It was previously made a parent theme to make development easier, but now that theme compatibility is mostly finished, it’s no longer necessary. This cuts down on the size of the installable by almost half, avoids inadvertently forking the TwentyTen theme (we shouldn’t need to keep on top of updates) and should set a better example on how to make a compatible bbPress child theme for your existing theme.

Theme theme theme… theme.

Good Evening,

Hey there… I wanna ask how can I fix this thing…

I recently found bbPress plugin, it is great to be installed in a wordpress blog it promotes more interaction for the site. so i installed bbPress in my blog.. but my problem is…

The url for the forums is too long… when the forum base is present..

:bbpress.org/ forums/ forum/ tutorial-guide/

I want to shorten it

from :bbpress.org/ forum base/ forum/ tutorial-guide/

to :bbpress.org/forum base/ tutorial-guide/

plus my concern is if I use

:bbpress.org/ forum base/ forum/

creates duplicate content with

:bbpress.org/ forum base/

and the user profiles

How can I put Latest user post and topics in wordpress profiles??

Any help thanks… I’ll be waiting

Correction its subdomain install

@JJJ

regarding the wordpress/bbpress theme compatibility… it kind of works with that code in the functions.php file, it works but only for individual pages, look forward for developments on this.

Keep up the good work guys!

binhdo: When you install bbPress, you need to set up some pages using the Page Templates. Login is one of them. We should probably change this.

slobizman: That question is like the icing on the cake, especially after all the GPL debate. Theoretically, bbPress has some theme compatibility features which would work good with most of the themes. If it doesn’t with Thesis, then probably you can go to their support forums and ask them to add bbPress support.

I’ve had similiar issues on my XAMPP server like when the permalink structure is changed I get 404 error. Its just a mod rewrite error of the local server installation. Even with the kind of permalink you said, you wont be able to view a post too, you’ll be getting same error. The default permalink works fine on local server. There is nothing wrong with bbPress.

Hiya,

I just worked it out for myself!

If you download the bbVideo plugin, then edit the file provider.inc.php and add the following at the end :

'soundcloud' => array(

'width' => '620',

'height' => '81',

'pattern' => 'soundcloud.com/(.*)/(.*?)/',

'index' => 1,

'code' => '<object height="[HEIGHT]" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http://soundcloud.com/[ID]/"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="[HEIGHT]" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http://soundcloud.com/[ID]/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object>',

'page_url' => 'http://www.soundcloud.com/'

)

I am using 1.1x. I was able to successfully convert to phpBB. You can see the converted forum here:

http://leftcoastlogic.com/forum/phpbb/

I have full admin access to this, and checked that the tables, topics, posts and users were all successfully converted to phpbb.

I then downloaded the phpbb-to-bbpress script from code.google.com (per other posts here):

http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/

Following instructions, I began the conversion and it stepped through the process. It appeared to have completed the “converting posts” step, although the last step had some strange text:

View post on imgur.com

I then proceeded to the next step, “convert users data”, and got this error message:

View post on imgur.com

I then tried to run the script a second time, and got this error message:

View post on imgur.com

So, I guess I’m not having much luck converting my phpBB forum to bbPress. Any suggestions?

Hi

Nothing exists yet, but there is an approximate game-plan for the bbPress plugin once it’s released. We’ve tried to keep everything phpDoc’ed in the plugin, so step one will be getting developers to reference that + trac. Step two will be getting bbPress.org to use the plugin version of bbPress, and then use a multisite instance of WordPress to manage the individual languages and codex. That’s probably a few months out though, realistically.

I’m new to bbPress, but a longtime WordPress developer. One of my favorite things about WordPress is the extensive Codex and documentation of the core functions. My question is two-fold.

First, does any documentation of the built-in functions exist? Second, how can I contribute to the documentation? I know the plugin version is about to go into Alpha release, so perhaps I’m better off contributing when that comes out?

[Gautam Gupta]

Jaja: The plugin in the WordPress Plugin repository has not yet been updated. You can svn checkout it via this link: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/branches/plugin or click the download as zip archive link here.

[Gautam Gupta]

Theoretically, it sounds easy. You set up a bbPress forum and let users register on it. Then when you setup a WP blog, make it use the bbPress tables and then integrate the cookies by the normal process. Never tried it practically.

Hi,

I have the following scenario: Members of my club is crying for a forum to offload our mailinglist. In the works is also a new club blog platform but that is going to take a while. So what I want to do is:

1. Install/Set up bbPress standalone.

2. Let users register

3. Use the bbPress forum

3. When the new WP based blog is good to go, Install WP and share the db with bbPress. The main thing here is that users should be able to continue using their credentials in WP too.

4. Use WP and bbPress in harmony happily ever after

From what I have gathered (reading docs and forum posts) this is at least theoretically possible. But is it plausible? Has anyone done it this way (bbPress first, then WP)? Please feel free to tell my why it is a really bad idea (if it is).

I always have the option to argue that the club should wait with the forum until the WP blog is up an running. But if it is possible I would like to start the forum asap.

All input is welcome

pkiula: You would need to write a plugin on your own for that. Just check the code related to that, and find & use the hooks nearby.
