I would give bbPress a try, it’s easy to design your own layout for it

[MathiasB]

Put eg. this in the css file:

tr.bb-category {

font-size:bigger;

}

Or whatever markup you wanna give to it…

I’ve just found and fixed the bug in my plugin: I’ll upload a new version within minutes.

Thank you for this info.

I really need bbPress plugin with Akismet.

Great project, have a nice job on it!!!

Many thanks.

Simple:Press is ok, but i like more your bbPress style. It’s very simple!

[John James Jacoby]

@qprints That is the plan. Anything that might add any extra bloat should be modular, so you can turn each component on or off as needed. A good example would be that there’s no need to load up bbPress User Profile code if BuddyPress is there to handle things.

@Jyri No promises about a SimplePress importer at launch, but in the spirit of owning your own data it would make sense to have that too.

[hpguru]

I suggest you Import from bbPress and other forum plugins. I use now Simple:Press, but i want use bbPress plugin in future.

Thank you for your hard work!!! We need all bbPress plugin!

I had this functionality in my phpBB installation before I switched to BBpress,. A friend of mine wrote me a piece of code which does essentially the same thing. Don’t ask me to extend it. I’m not a programmer.

What does it do:

It will automatically replace keywords and link them to a page you have specified.

Example use:

Deep linking to affiliate products or articles on your website.

How to install it:

1) Open the file “Text2Aff.php”. Specify the keywords and links.

2) Upload it the folder “text2aff” to “my-plugins” folder.

3) Log in to your admin panel and activate the plugin

Version: This is version 0.1 and has been tested with BBpress 1.02

Planned:

Would be great to have some sort of admin panel to manage the keywords and urls. Moving this into the database. You are welcome to extend it. Any comments appreciated.

Looking forward to this, one thing though, couldn’t “User’s Profiles” be a plugin? WordPress already has many user profile plugins

I love the idea of “keeping things as small and light as possible” (front page quote)

If at all possible, could the code for the “legacy support layer for existing plugins” be kept separate? and therefore easily removable

mr_pelle: How can we contribute if no one submits patches […]

You just answered your own question!

And as for #538 believe it or not JJJ has submitted a patch, some testing probably wouldn’t go wrong with that, then maybe someone with commit access can add it to trunk!

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi JJJ,

As always, I appreciate you stopping by

I have not at any time here solicited people to leave bbPress, and 99% of my conversations about this topic have taken place away from this forum, and for the most part, over the last 2-2.5 months.

I refute entirely the statement that I’m attempting to “fragment the already small community” or do anything in “bad taste”. While I’m a vocal son-of-a-gun at times, I think my record for attempting to support bbPress, this forum, and it’s community over the last 2 years will stand up to some scrutiny.

In fact, my initial post was simply a link to another website on which the discussion could take place. I had, and have, no intention of parking the discussion here. I did take time to reply to people as a courtesy. To me, it’s just being mannerly, but I apologise if it’s been wrongly viewed in a different way.

I never intended this thread to cause any issues, I included a link to a website for people that might be interested, and I’ve only replied to folks who have commented here of their own volition (never having sought their comments in these forums). I’ve tried to be courteous and succinct, though I have failings at both, directly e-mailing people whose contact details have been available so that I could keep the chatter here down.

Could I ask if a moderator would be as kind as to lock this thread?

Thank you.

If you’re going to fork it, call it something new and fork it.

I totally agree with you bro

What’s your WordPress plug-in that’s not a continuation of the bbPress0.9/1/ branches going to be called?

[mr_pelle]

There is no backup support/plugin in bbPress. You may try this (first hit on Google for “bbPress backup”).

Birthday imho is the easiest thing to cheat on, anyway if you want to add/remove usermeta, add these lines to your functions.php (located in your template folder).

[mr_pelle]

Hi! Plugin structure has changed a lot after v5.0: I suggest you to first backup your .htaccess, then delete it and the nicer-permalinks folder too. After that, install plugin latest release (following the instructions) and activate it from the configuration page.

Please note that since v4.1 PHP5 is required.

[mr_pelle]

If you’re going to fork it, call it something new and fork it.[…]

Mmh… strange déjà-vu… -_-“

If you’d like to continue to support or contribute to your favorite existing branch of bbPress, that doesn’t require a fork […]

Are we all getting commit permissions for Christmas? How can we contribute if no one submits patches or even follows TRAC? Some tickets are 4 years old and let’s forget about bbpress.org ones…

[MathiasB]

Ok thx,

never thought about writing it in the table

[Mark McWilliams]

Thanks for the update JJJ, sounds like a few lines of code still need to be written, you are the man for the job though! If you need anything tested, let me know and I’ll do my best to *try* and break anything!

[mr_pelle]

bbPress is not a WP plugin, so there will be absoultely nothing on the WP dashboard.

You’ve to browse to your-forum-name/bb-admin/

KSES is too slow to use for realtime output.

It’s used by WP/bbPress *before* the post is saved permanently (pre_post filter)

But bbcode is stored as bbcode, not converted HTML.

So it has to be converted to html each time a post is shown (post_text filter).

So KSES is too slow for that.

(plus I don’t want to use an external function with regex matches, which makes it ten times more complex)

[Matt Mullenweg]

Why not use KSES?

[_ck_]

Okay there are two different people in this conversation.

But no, you cannot change the post order in a topic, at least not correctly and consistently. bbpress internally uses post-position and hard codes the post order.

The system would have to be redesigned.

My user-wall already avoids this problem and allows posts in any order and any spinoff I might create from bbpress will also have this ability.

But for now, no bbpress can’t do that correctly.

[milkyWim]

Hi,

what I needed was the change of order of the replies on a topic. So that the latest reply comes on top of page instead of the at the bottom of the page.

Topic

Since I use only one topic in the forum I was able to do so by changing these lines above. I think that there was indeed some confusing between the problem of changing the order of topic replies and the order of comments.

Kind regards;

I know there’s a few threads on WordPress integration, whereby WP and bbPress share users in the database. But I was thinking of doing it another way, prior to launching my site, and wondered if others had done it.

Basically, I would turn off registration for WordPress. No users can register using WordPress, ever. Instead, the registration process is just handled by bbPress.

What I would then need to do, is have a bbPress login in the header of my WP blog. The comments for a post in WP would be handled by bbPress. I would probably have to create a bbPress thread manually, then link to it from the WP post, or somehow integrate it into the WP post.

Is it possible to include a bbPress thread in a WP post, if you know the thread id? I would probably tie the thread id to the relevant post using a custom field in WP, then grab it in my WP template.

Does this make sense? I hope so.

[Jayesh]

Hey vfb,

thanks this is exactly what I was looking for.

thank you very much

Always happy for more Blue Sky thinking.

Widgets, and easy theming, are definitely points I would like to discuss in detail further down the line. I absolutely believe that the theme should just deal with simple presentation, and this ties in with that nicely.

Custom post types is actually very simple, and has already been factored in to a certain extent.

WordPress integration is crucial

No, it’s not

And nor is it going to be a goal of the software.

WordPress is getting it’s own forum software, and I’m sure that will work really well, and meet the needs of many.

What will be happening is that people can extend the user or login classes so that external systems can be tied into the software (MediaWiki, Drupal, WordPress etc).
