Well, maybe too risky.

I now use Instant Password, Private Forums and Role Manager to do the work, i.e. add member without sending email and random password and on a very basic level, limit unwanted registrations.

Instant Password lets member choose their own password.

Private Forums hides content from unregistered user.

Role Manager: I ticked out write permission for Member and added another role called “Writer” which is exactly the same with the default “Member” role. That way newly registered cannot post anything and that pretty much prevents some newbie from messing up the forums…

I personally hope that support for existing plugins will be a possibility, if not upon its release, fairly early on. I have a good BB forum running right now with enough plugins that the idea of not having them (or figuring out how to re-write them with the new needs of the bb-plugin) is making my head hurt.

I found the solution to my above problem…this mistake is for the other potential newbie’s making silly mistakes

My database password entered into my wp-config.php file was incorrect. My WP install was a one click install with dream host and I needed to configure the wp-config.php file – for some reason there was barely any information in it.

Topic Closed. yay.

Hello, I’ve been struggling 8 hours on this and I would appreciate any help

I’ve researched this high and low but cannot find an answer.

Problem: At STEP 2 of bbpress installer I try to access my wp-admin page for the requested Salts, but lo and behold – I’m locked out of wp-admin! I am shown a blank page.

WordPress and bbpress downloads share the same mysql database. bbpress is on same level as wp-admin — eg. mysite.com/forums. (see: https://picasaweb.google.com/andrews.bda/DirectoryBbpress# )

Why would my wp-admin lock me out during the bbpress installation?

Thanks in advance for any help!

~BDA

WP 3.1

bbpress 1.0.3

dreamhost

(((As an aside, maybe this has bearing on my problem….I did not have any auth or salt keys located within my wp-config.php file after dreamhost one click install. I had to manually copy and paste from wp-configsample.php!)))))

LOL I beat you to it. Decided to try one file at a time and see what would happen.. and waddya know it started working! Then I just dropped EVERY file from the bbp 2010 theme, that didn’t already exist in Profits Theme, into the PT theme folder and voila – my forum is back & working beautifully.

I am absolutely shocked it was this easy!

Thanks for the insanely fast response, and keep up the great work… I’m a huge fan of the bbP plugin already and will definitely help spread the word about it however I can!

Hi Jonathan,

The bbPress plugin is still in development, and as such there isn’t a lot of documentation out in the world yet. This is partly due to some architectural changes made mid-way through development, and partly due to more time being spent in the code and not enough time spent on the bbPress.org site. That will eventually shift, and we’ll be sure to put up documentation that bbPress has needed all along.

Regarding Profits Theme, you have a few options. I think the safest will be to make a copy of your Profits Theme that you can modify yourself, without fear of any changes being lost in the event the theme is updated. (You’ll want to edit the style.css and rename your copy, so it doesn’t conflict with the original.) Then, copy the “/bbpress” folder from bbp-twentyten, and drop it in your theme. Next, copy the files prefixed with “page-” and “single-” and drop those into your theme as well. That should fix most of the missing file issues, and get you started so things are ‘functioning.’ The last thing will be for you to start hacking at your CSS to make things look the part.

Most themes should already come with a decent amount of table styling, which is what the bbp-twentyten theme uses (for the sake of being easy and that the layout of data is indeed tabular in nature.) To fill in the CSS blanks, you’l want to experiment with “/bbp-twentyten/css/bbpress.css” and see what you’re missing and what fits.

Cheers, and thanks for the kudos

Hi all… I hope this is the right place for this and that there are some resources you can share.

I’ve just discovered bbP, and ever better the bbP plugin, and am absolutely thrilled with how well it works. Seriously, AWESOME job to all involved!!

My issue now is that I’m building my site around a sophisticated theme called Profits Theme (http://profitstheme.com/demo/ for a bare-bones live demo of it). Of course this theme doesn’t know about bbP at all.

I dropped a copy of the theme into the bbP themes directory and lo & behold, it does in fact see it! But of course the various hooks are missing to actually make bbP appear inside the theme.

So in short (too late I’m looking for information on how to incorporate bbP inside an existing theme. I’m considering doing a diff on stock twenty-ten vs. bbp-twenty-ten to try and figure it out on my own but I’m hoping there are some good resources on what’s needed to make bbP work in a theme. Googling hasn’t turned up a whole lot, mostly just stuff about standalone bbP and I’m not sure how well that applies to bbP the plugin.

Thanks all!

Jonathan

Thanks JJJ!

Yes, it wasn’t covering the new branch (bbPress as WP plugin). Only trunk.

Hi all,

I have a problem What’s new?

My scenario:

I installed Theme switcher plugin and it works fine.

I use it to switch between two themes (these are both different language versions of the same theme).

Still, this works fine. Thing is, some of descriptions are hardcoded in core files (like titles of post form for example). Other titles, I can modify in template files, but functions.bb-template.php is shared.

I could find a way around this by using a condition (in core files) like:

if (current theme is A) {

do stuff

}

elseif (current theme is {

do other stuff

}

Thing is I’m not sure how to check which theme is currently active. Theme Switcher plugin uses ?bbtheme= at the end of URL to load different theme – so as I suppose this is some variable stored in cache or something and there must be a way to check what it currently is. I’m not a coder though, so any help would be highly appriciated!

I want to create a new bbpress topic loop file which only displays the recent 3 posts.

I tried placing query_posts before the main bbPress loop:

custom-loop-bbpress_topics:

<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=3'); ?>



<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>

But the page just loads indefinitely.

Any suggestions?

I found this update which worked for me.

Oh wow, guess I’ve not been looking well enough. Thanks though, I’ll give yours a try

At least I learned a lot from developing the plugin so it’s not entirely wasted time

what exactly you want to put code please send it to me i will tell you what you have to put.

Ryan Gannon:

Yes, bbp_get_topic_content and bbp_get_reply_content.

Alex:

Thanks!

DarkWolf:

1. The category page should contain the list of sub-forums, which are in it.
2. You need to shift all the pages, stats, etc. above the forum page too (i.e. change their parent to no parent).

Try this:

– You first have to start the WordPress Loop

– Then call the get_template _part() function to get the forum template.

<?php

/*

Template Name: Forum

*/

@ePilipovic



/**

* @package WordPress

* @subpackage Default_Theme

*/



get_header(); ?>



<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>



<div id="forum-front" class="bbp-forum-front">

<div class="entry-content">



<?php the_content(); ?>



<?php get_template_part( 'loop', 'bbp_forums' ); ?>



<?php get_template_part( 'form', 'bbp_topic' ); ?>



</div>

</div><!-- #forum-front -->



<?php endwhile; ?>



<?php get_footer(); ?>
