Gautam: We already have bbpdevel.wordpress.com – though that’s not active.

Which is why I said “[…] but for bbPress on bbPress.org right from the start” which is the route WordPress are going to go down with make.wordpress.org/code as bbPress would probably take that route too, so do it from the off!

Rich Pedley: http://wordpress.elfden.co.uk/forum/ is kept fairly update and when you register you get access to almost everything to show what’s available etc.

I forgot about your site Rich, signed up, but ideally wanted to take a look at all the stuff you can’t see right now! All the back-end administration coolness!

In the plugin, it would make use of WP_Query which is a lot flexible – you would be able to do such things there afaik.

I had to disable it last night. The problem is, it’s set up to be run off of the script hosted at xbb2.com. However, because the guy’s site was timing out and causing each page load to be very long, I had to drop it. It would be best if there was a plugin so you could run the code locally.

There is a plugin for phpBB, but I don’t know if it also requires using the script hosted at xbb2.com, or if it’s a stand-alone version.

So, you think – no need do mold it into a “full-blown” plugin ?

You can only have one tag_id arg, that too should be an integer ( also = check is made, you can’t have != check ). Try this:

function my_custom_views_init() {

$args = array(

'tag_id' => 35

);

bb_register_view(

'fruits',

'Fruit',

$args,

false

);

}

You may try to short-circuit the query though, as shown in this plugin – https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/my-views/trunk/my-views-statistics.php

What some people go through just to SPAM a forum!

make sure its & instead of &amp ;

and regarding login sync, you messed up somewhere, try finding the mistake.

@gswaim – I can assure you bbPress as a WordPress plugin is no ground-hog day (although that is one of my favorite Bill Murray movies.) There’s more activity in the bbPress trac over the past 2 months than there has been in the previous 18.

Evidenced by: https://trac.bbpress.org/log/

Matt and I have shared a similar interest in having forum integration inside WordPress since 2008 when I first started using WordPress and bbPress regularly. The bbPress stand-alone can be deeply integrated with great success into WordPress. bbPress.org is a great example of how they can play nice together, as are WordPress.org and WordPress.com. All of the support forums use bbPress with shared user tables and dedicated themes to make them look the part.

But, I’m with you in that it just isn’t as turn-key simple as it could and should be.

Regarding Tadlock’s plugin, he volunteered an early iteration of his code to me which helped confirm I was on the right track and give some ideas on how to do a few things I hadn’t finished yet. So his forums haven’t fizzled, they’ve been merged into bbPress so he doesn’t need to bare the burden of supporting another large library of code, and instead he can contribute back to it when he has time or needs something specific.

Regarding my job with Automattic, progress slowed because every new employee does a 3 week training session with the Happiness Engineer team. It just so happened that my 3 weeks ended as the holiday season began. Not due to lack of importance, just not-so-good timing for writing code.

gswaim: Then Justin Tadlock was going to knock one out and that also fizzled. He had a pretty decent looking forum in a matter of weeks, but it was never finished. Or at least it was never released.

If you want to read a particular thread that talked about it (maybe in a little more detail) but more importantly a reply from Justin Tadlock, then that might give you a little more insight as to why he never released it! Hope that helps a little?

At the Raleigh 2009 WordCamp, when given the chance to present a question to Matt, I asked:

“What is the status of bbPress?”

His response was that bbPress was alive and well and he wanted to develop it as a plug-in so the masses could easily implement it.

I asked this question then because I really needed a forum and I wanted to stick with a WP solution. Two years have passed and adding a forum to my site has become my “Ground Hog Day.” I work hard at it, but somehow every morning when I wake up my site still doesn’t have a forum.

Over the last two years I have installed about every forum solution on the market (I think I installed SimplePress at least 3 times). They all looked like an add-on, so they got pulled.

Then Justin Tadlock was going to knock one out and that also fizzled. He had a pretty decent looking forum in a matter of weeks, but it was never finished. Or at least it was never released.

I have to admit when I saw this reply from JJJ,

With the holidays coming up and starting my new job at Automattic, progress on the plugin is going to slow down for a week or two.”

it seemed like another Ground Hog Day to me. I would have thought that having the lead developer of the bbPress plug-in working for Matt (who adamantly supports the bbPress plug-in),the project would have gone faster, not slower.

I am not trying to be critical. I just wanted to put some historical perspective on this project. In my humble opinion, for WP to be considered a CMS, it needs to have a forum core plug-in. I am sure I am not alone in wanting to see this major missing piece fall into place.

I am not a coder and I can only sit back and keep my fingers crossed that one morning I wake up and my WP-powered site is truly a CMS with a WP supported forum.

Thanks for the hard work. Let’s push on. I can smell the end zone!

John James Jacoby: With WordPress 3.1 almost in its third release candidate, we can expect it to ship really, really soon. That said, it makes sense to drop 3.0 support and focus on 3.1.

I agree, it brings in new features we can take advantage of, which cuts out half the hassle that’d be needed to get them working in the first place! — Why try and rebuild something we can already use?
