pkiula: That’s what we are working on. bbPress is now being made a WordPress plugin which would seamlessly integrate.

@willabee – Don’t move any files anywhere. Just activate bbPress and see how it fits on your site. If it doesn’t, use the bbp-twentyten theme. It puts itself in your list of available themes even though it’s in the plugins folder

@Rick Lewis – I’ll post a new topic tonight with instructions on how to test.

Im sure there’s something somewhere on this but I’m not finding it.. How can I allow users to upload pictures, like any and all social network sites…

What is the most effective way, something where 10 years from now I wont be dealing with having to switch methods…

Thanks!

[Willabee]

Good to see that the plugin is progressing so fast now.

To catch up, the bbpress files now can be placed within the theme folder? And if so, what files go in there?

Keep up the great work JJJ and Gautum.

Erlend: As BuddyPress installs bbPress standalone with only a few tweaks, I think it would be very much possible to convert the BuddyPress bbPress forums too. Just point it to its directory.

chrisbrocklesby: There was a fix posted earlier in this thread about that (which I don’t actually remember and it’s hard to locate that). It happens when you upgrade from an old version of bbPress plugin. If you could nuke the whole dev site and install it again, then it should start working again for you.

Matalina: Try adding bbpress in the list of tags in style.css of your theme. That behavior should be changed though.

That’s a bug. I experienced it once before and thought I’d fixed it so might be a regression of some newer privacy handling code. Will check it out. Go ahead and create a trac ticket for it and I’ll close it when it’s resolved.

@ricardouk – Gautam’s got it a little backwards. It means that if your existing WordPress theme *DOES NOT* have add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); in its functions.php file (or anywhere else) that bbPress will attempt to fill in the missing template files on its own with a default set of CSS rules.

For example, for themes that do not *explicitly* say “yes I have bbPress template files” bbPress will still attempt to work it out for you. Say you purchased a theme from StudioPress which doesn’t come bundled with any bbPress template files for forums, that’s okay. When you visit a single forum or single topic, bbPress intercepts the request and serves up a default template that looks like a forum or topic.

In other words, do not use add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); unless your custom theme has a “/bbpress” folder that has the necessary files that bbPress expects to be there.

me too….my forums don’t work at all. I get this weird code:

$bb->custom_user_table = ‘wp_users’; $bb->custom_user_meta_table = ‘wp_usermeta’; $bb->uri = ‘http://intranet.kki.org/school/social/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/’; $bb->name = ‘ Forums’; define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 2); ?>

Hi Gautam, i tried it on the 4 themes i previously used with wordpress and it didn’t work.

Added:

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); to the theme functions, will wait for further developments,

The themes i used are minimalist and simplistic without “fancy stuff”, i can’t help with coding but if you need any testing just let me know.

[Gautam Gupta]

Ricardo: You should put that line in your WordPress theme’s functions.php. Note that some themes might still not display it properly.

[Gautam Gupta]

You also need to install this plugin in WordPress and it would tell you what you need to add in your wp-config.php.

A few last minute gifts are now in the bbPress plugin.

First, shortcodes. Now you can insert forums and topics into blog posts and pages. This is awesome because it will let you insert a river of forums or replies anywhere that the_content(); is used and shortcodes are supported.

Second, theme compatibility. This one is huge, could use some testing, and is potentially a game-changer. If you’re not using a theme that actively supports bbPress by setting add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );, bbPress is going to serve up its own default set of templates and styling from whatever is set as the theme compatibility layer (which defaults to bbp-twentyten.) There is a little more work to be done here, but so far it’s working a treat.

As a plugin developer, theme compatibility with new features is something I’ve wrestled with for a really long time, and recent changes in WordPress core have made this easier. For BuddyPress and now bbPress, this is years in the planning stages, and I’m really happy, excited, and proud that it’s in and loosely working.
