Anyone has a demo of the plugin running in a website…

It would be great if JJJ and team could start a test site where the latest plug-in version was installed. It would make it easier for this group to pound on it and help bug test the code.

Thanks!

It’s unfinished code basically. I started making it a template file and then decided to make it a template part to make it work right away and never cleaned up the mess.

dudd: but when i add new page with the template “bbpress- New topic” it do not work and show nothing !

Rich Pedley: Yeah I haven’t figured out why that is available either, hopefully JJJ will enlighten us.

While I was playing with bbPress on my local install the other day, I half looked into the problem, and going from memory we’re missing a form-bbp_post.php file I think? That, or get_template_part( 'form', 'bbp_post' ); in page-bbp_form.php should read something different, but I’m going by the first thing I said!

Update: Opened #1352 on Trac!

Hello,

Currently, the name-based forum permalinks must have a trailing ‘/’ – this is fair enough, but it gets seriously bad when one is typing in forum URLs and forgets the trailing ‘/’, only to be slapped down with an unhelpful 404 error. Ouch.

I modified the .htaccess, moving the section commented ‘forums’ down under the ‘topics’ section (so the catch-some rewrite rule I added doesn’t wipe that out), then added a rule that redirects URLs that address a path within the forum root, sans a trailing slash and not corresponding to an actual file, to the same path with a trailing ‘/’.

Like so:

# forums

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA] # tailed '/' is mandatory for forum URIs! Props: Mohta

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ $1/ [L,R=301] # redirect to forum URL if trailing / skipped

I’m not 100% sure why this isn’t already in place – I may have missed some of the rationale. But it seems to work for me.

Thanks… We would love to be able to use the channels extension. If there’s anything we can do… just tell us where to send the chocolate or beer or whatever. Thanks!

I need something like «bbPress post» plugin. But only for «Discuss» link on every post in my wordpress blog. Link must create topic for discuss. First post in bbpress topic must be content from post in wordpress blog where link was clicked.

Looks like «bbPress post» is not available by now – http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-post-003

Sorry for my bad english

[Submachiner]

We updated from 0.9.0.2 to 1.0.2 bechet. Tags worked fine before the update occured. We do have a custom theme installed and tags worked fine with it installed before the update.

Just reverted to the default theme, and tags are not deleting.

Can you give more detail into what you mean by changes modifying core bbpress files? please and thanks

Thank you for helping me out so far, and providing tips on how to get better support. I apologize that I’m testy. I’ll be more patient.

Th bbPress plugin will actually help make this happen, possibly by way of using WordPress multisite and letting each site/network have their own bbPress setup.

If you wanted to use existing bbPress stand alone, I’m not sure where the channels code is to see if it’s available to share. Will see what I can did out.

I just installed mod_pagespeed, which Google developed.

http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/module.html

However, it seems to be dynamically changing my template CSS file.

Has anyone else had problems with mod_pagespeed and bbPress?

I’m running v0.9.0.6 but I assume this applies to all versions of bbPress.

Tom i want to thank you for your support

[esteroizi]

nice plugin man 10q alot

[esteroizi]

10x for the answer

[kenburcham]

bump. after reading wordpress and bbpress forums and posts and … finally coming to the realization that what I’m looking for is this “bbpress channels” extension. I’d love to know when it might be available? We’re going to unleash bbpress on hundreds of sites via a multisite server if we can get bbmu to work… I ‘spose I can write my own extension, but it’d be more fun to install and tweak yours. thanks!

Thanks Rick Pedley.

Anyone has a demo of the plugin running in a webiste with a child theme?

[Justin Tadlock]

Thanks to JJJ for pointing this topic out to me.

Right now, my forum plugin isn’t planned for public release. I’d much rather see a community-supported plugin because a lot more can get done. The plugin could simply be better developed and have better support if it’s a community-run project. Make no mistake, a plugin like this is massive amounts of work, more than one person can realistically handle. Honestly, I don’t want to be the only person developing and supporting a forum plugin.

The reasons I’ve been doing my own thing rather than fully devoting my time to bbPress:

1) I just wanted to see if I could do it for fun.

2) I had some projects that needed basic forum functionality that couldn’t wait for alternate solutions.

3) Everybody wants something, mostly things I don’t believe belong in a lightweight forum plugin.

4) I’ve been hesitant to get more involved in bbPress because I don’t want to deal with all the drama here.

I just finished three months of intense writing for a WP plugin book, so my time has been limited for a while. I’ve still got book-related things this month as well. Once this process is done, I plan to devote more time to the bbPress plugin.

What we want:

These are the things I believe most of us want, which is the reasons I put together a plugin and the reasons for the bbPress plugin. This comes down to two things:

* A plugin that easily integrates into the WordPress user/role and login system.

* Forums that can be managed from our WP admins.

It’s basically about being able to run forums without a lot of hassle.

The direction I’d like to see the bbPress plugin go:

* Stick with the philosophy: lightweight and basic.

* Allow plugins to extend anything needed beyond basic forum functionality.

* Use the functions WordPress provides where possible.

* Forget backwards-compatible hooks and functions. Build a new system.

^ I have noticed on my HTC Legend that when I look at http://dump.master5o1.com/mobi it shows it differently to http://m.tartarus.co.nz/

Not sure why that is, they’re the same code and the same css.

Tell me if it looks better in http://m.tartarus.co.nz/

Adding a child theme is incredibly easy, check the really minimal one you can have:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Example_of_a_basic_Child_Theme

But if you’ve developed a custom one yourself, then adding the necessary files/functions to that theme would be easy as well.

[Rich Pedley]

If needs be I’ll take a look when the time comes. Child themes aren’t that difficult

[John James Jacoby]

The plugin will have shortcodes and widgets to attempt to ease people in to integrating bbPress into existing themes, but because you can’t easily introduce completely new functionality into a theme that isn’t designed to handle it, there will be limitations to that method.

For the most mileage, you’re better off copying the files out of the bbp-twentyten theme and into your existing child theme and modifying the HTML and CSS to taste. (You are using a child theme, right? )

Topic and reply counts are next on my list of todo’s. They are the biggest source of confusion right now, justifiably so.

all the code got messed up while posting on here, I wrapped it between but would not work properly someone does know how to make it look pretty?

[cordoval]

hi ya’ll

I am sorry I was not back earlier on this post but I have managed to solved everything without touching the core and my method is extensible to whatever you want to do.

//add target=_blank to post links

function bb_target_blank( $text ) {

return preg_replace_callback('||i', 'bb_target_blank_callback', $text);

}

function bb_target_blank_callback( $matches ) {

$text = $matches[1];

return "";

}

add_filter(‘post_text’, ‘bb_target_blank’);

If you require further support then you can always reach to me at cordoval at gmail dot com and you can send me a small token of your appreciation via paypal. Thanks.
