Topic: something useful
Okay, first thing’s first… if this is the forum on the bbPress site itself, it really needs to be a bit more of a better example. As it is, when I get to the forum I’m first faced with a giant tagcloud, then I have to scroll all the way down past a huge list of posts to get to the actual individual forums such as this one. Of course, I could hit the button to start a new topic at the top of the top of the page but not only is that counterintuitive, it’s a really bad idea in general that will get people just Pcoming in and posting without looking at other posts first. I’d hoped the layout would have been changed by now at least.
Second problem, and this is one I’ve had on the wordpress forums as well but never bothered to ask about it. At the bottom of the post box it lists allowed tags (shortly after mentioning “Enter a few words (called tags)” with a link to the tagcloud rather than a definition of tags), but what gets me is “Put code in between backticks.” I’ve been running forums since before ISPs could offer residential Internet connections and yet I have absolutely no clue what that means. Unless this software is only meant for WordPress users (which I’m one of, btw), it would be best to get a bit more accessible to ordinary people in terms of language/jargon.
My other large beef is that the forums read like blog comments rather than forum discussions. Threading would be my number one request if I intended to use it. I guess my number two request would be integrating said threaded comments into the comments section of blog entries for those using it with a WP blog, though that’s a lot more complicated. I’d want to start off with the other way around by having the blog able to automatically display posts from certain sections such as Announcements and such. I’m not sure if that functionality exists yet, so apologies if it does. If not, I suppose a workaround could be reading the rss feed from that section into the blog section, but aggregating your own feeds is a fairly silly notion.
That’s it for initial feedback right now. I may come take another look when the software has matured a bit… by that I mean the core, it shouldn’t have to depend on plugins and themes to have very basic funcionality on its own.
Thanks a lot
I am gonna ditch v1.0+ and start using 0.9 from now on. Will downgrade my other installations too.
I am using the bbpress integration plugin to sync my wp and bbpress site up for users to login/logout.
I am having some issues getting my front-page login to work the way that i want it to. Currently (complete code and file setup at bottom) when i try to login initially i have the fields:
Community Login or [link – Register] – [link -Lost Password?]
[field – username] [field – password] [btn – login]
when i input the username and password and hit login it shoots me to the login page where i need to do this again in doer to login.
currently i have this code attributed to my login button:
<input type="image" src="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>my-templates/discussion_center/images/top_login_btn.png" width="67" height="23" alt="Submit Form" value="<?php _e('Login');?>" />i am guessing thats where the issue lies with that. i would like it to NOT go to another page and to just log in right there.
Next, after i am logged in the set up is like this:
Welcome back, username!
[link – View your profile] [link – logout]
the logout link seems to work, logging me out of my bbpress install, but it doesnt log me out of my wp install… any fix for that?
i added the cookies line to the wp-config.php for the plugin, am i supposed to add it to the bb-config.php too?
Thanks for the help in advance!!!

</div>Hmmm. Seems that even the mod is hijacking threads on bbpress.org these days…
Feel free to start a different thread to talk about the specific performance aspects of bbPlugin versus bbStandalone.
One more attempt to focus this thread on the original question: I am interested in a discussion on the relative merits of evolving bbStandalone and bbPlugin independently versus in a coordinated fashion, NOT the relative merits of bbStandalone versus bbPlugin.
Repeating the advantages of both, with one additional pro that I thought of for the coupled roadmap.
Advantages of a coupled roadmap:
– Higher quality for standalone (benefitting from the larger installed base of the plugin)
– Better performance for the plugin (benefitting from the big standalone sites)
– More tight WP integration is likely for standalone
– Easier “cross-grades” between plugin and standalone version
Advantages of independent evolution of the plugin and standalone versions
– More flexibility in release roadmap for both versions
– No compromises for either version

I guess all your plugins are tagged https://bbpress.org/plugins/tags/_ck_
right?
And I believe even your updated plugins support 0.9 ?
Unfortunately the plugin section is still broken and does not import tags so the
_ck_tag is no longer complete there (update: someone appears to have fixed it in the past 24 hours)For now this is the only way to find them all:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/_ck_-plugin-catalog-index
Virtually 100% my plugins will support 0.9 (except ones specifically made to “fix” 1.x)

Not with WordPres 3.0 anyway, 1 install, multiple sites!
Well, multiple BLOGS, I am not sure if they can get multiple forums going on the first version, we’ll see. But I am sure it’s a goal of Matt’s so they can use it on WordPress.com
_ck_: As far as I could guess, you’d have to install multiple copies of WP.
Not with WordPres 3.0 anyway, 1 install, multiple sites!
@Ryan: I had JS enabled but.., aha, I never noticed the double-click edit upon mouse hover before. Neat
Now, the thing I encountered in both the P2 theme and Justin’s forum plugin is: Neither (seems to be able to-) take advantage of WordPress’ own in-built rich text editor.
I probably did not make this clear enough in my first post. My main point sort of ended up in the second to last paragraph:
What I’d love to see is rich front-end editing based on the native WP editor
What I’m inquiring about is:
How to achieve front-end editing with WordPress’ native rich editor?
The main question is of course ‘how will bbPress go about doing this?’, but clearly this method is still unbeknown to many plugin authors who could greatly benefit from it.
(Disclaimer: My project relies on the bp-wiki plugin, and I am indeed curious as to the possibility of a a more conventional approach to rich front end edits in the future.)
One ‘almost’ example I found is this one:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-excerpt/
It grabs the native editor and displays it somewhere new. However I suspect it can only do so because it’s still within the confines of the admin backend. Posting and editing content from front-end can clearly be achieved, but apparently with severe limitations. It’s getting functions that are normally limited to the backend (tinymce editor, file upload, etc) to the front-end that is awkward.
Speaking of which, feasibility image/file uploads would make for an excellent follow-up question, but maybe you’d rather have me start a new thread for it?
I can see strong arguments for both a wp plugin and a standalone forum.
Also, the reality is that both will exist in the future. The WP team is very passionate about “bbPress as plugin” and at the same time some existing large installations will see to the continuation of standalone version in some format.
So it might be good to frame this decision differently than plugin versus standalone… The real question is: to what extent do we want the plugin and standalone versions of the bbPress code base to evolve independently versus in a coordinated way?
Simplistically, the two options are:
1. coupled roadmap with coordinated releases or periodic rev/fwd integrations
2. independent roadmaps that diverge over time (the current plan of record)
Both options (coupled roadmap and independent roadmap) can work, but it would be better for this decision to be the result of thoughtful discussion.
To kick things off, here are some pros of a coupled roadmap:
– Higher quality for standalone (benefitting from the larger installed base of the plugin)
– Better performance for the plugin (benefitting from the big standalone sites)
– More tight WP integration is likely
And some pros of independent evolution of the plugin and standalone versions
– More flexibility in release roadmap for both versions
– No compromises for either version
Another more subtle effect to consider is the impact on dev resources invested in the code base. For example, I think that there are currently a lot of “silent” but significant resources being invested in standalone bbPress development. It would be great to pull more of that work into the official project, but I fear that opportunity will go away once the move is made to “bbPress as plugin”.
why not no need of “www”? reason?
We’ve known that using “www” during installs has caused issues in the past. Especially if you used “www” for one isntall and not the other.
Cookies are/were (been a long time since i looked into this) using the full URL so “www.bbpress.org”‘s cookie would be different from “bbpress.org”‘s cookie if you didn’t specify.
99/100 it makes no difference. 1/100 it does

You are right that there was no need for the salts when bbPress1.0 was released, but we’ve had 3 WP releases since then. I find its better to be safe than sorry.
So I’m confuse why we need two separate authentications for both wp and bbP.
In theory: You do not.
In Practice: It doesn’t hurt at all.
Request:
Can you please create two demo files for wp-config.php and bb-config.php with authentication keys, and make live them to pastebin.com & paste links here?
Sure, i’ll do that tonight when I get home.
Am off to see Toy Story3 in 10 mins.
Yes, there’s a plugin but It works only with older release bbPress
As do most plugins.
It’s just where we are I’m afraid
