wp-config.php has 8 keys from that link you provided

bb-config.php has the same 8 keys as above, with the BB text added in as well

any other ideas?

[Xevo]

Perhaps making the green on top of the site one color green (instead of the gradient)?

Other than that, looks great.

[Xevo]

Would appreciate it Robine.

I can have a look at the translation if you want.

Also from my side…

Welcome back _ck_

stay connect with bbPress and with Us

Matt confessed that he dove into bbPress. He admitted that he became a little burnt out on it. bbPress will undoubtedly be tied closer to WordPress. The future of bbPress will be a really awesome plugin. He even admitted that right now, it would be better off to use another plugin rather than bbPress. Matt said he just needs a little more time before he dives into bbPress again. The bbPress community was a bit rough around the edges and the flame war that ensued forced Matt to break away for a bit.

I appreciate that I come across a bit strong sometimes, and certainly I felt that Matt wasn’t prepared for walking into the bbPress project when he came back last year. Personally, I think its a bit rich to say that the bbPress community “was a bit rough around the edges” given the way Automattic had handled bbPress with contempt for so long (leading to every single person involved in the project leaving – save for 1 forum moderator).

And as for the “flame war”, and it was probably the most quiet and mannerly flame war in the history of the internet, I think that maybe Matt has become acustomed to people praising the good things he and his company does and not that used to pointing out when they drop the ball (which originally was one of the things that most impressed me about Matt and Automattic).

– http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/whats-happening-with-bbpress/page/4

(the world’s nicest flame war, where 6 different people ask Matt questions using ugly words like Please, Thank You, and “really hope you had a great time on your travels “. Man it almost made me want to quit the total internet it was SUCH a flame war of epic proportions!!!!)

There’s no doubt in my mind that Matt is a humble positive guy that just wants the best for all of us. He speaks from the heart, and sometimes that can be a double edged sword because people hold him to that. Truly we understand that, but throwing the toys out of the pram in the way he did isn’t conducive to galvanising the community/development of bbPress.

All of the major issues/setbacks that bbPress has had have been quite obvious long long long before we hit them; and the “Relax, we’ve done this before” line is now seriously coming home to roost. Given the sheer volume of “wordpress integration” questions and “buddyPress” questions on this forum; i fail to see how telling people to not use bbPress is going to do anything to help the community or development of bbPress.

I said it when Matt came back that if bbPress is going to be a WordPress plugin then there is no point wasting development time rushing out new features that attempt to duplicate features already in WordPress. Its a shocking waste of development time, made with a unilateral decision without any real project management input. Headless chickens don’t make for good developers!!

hmmmm.

Well I am worried I’m just trudging up old ground. I’m quite sure there will be great Euphoria on the board today with this new theme (though personally, having all text shurnk by 20%, the space in which the text goes reduced to under 500px, and the links changed to a light green on a white background are mental decisions – oh and brilliantly going against everything the new WP theme is doing ) . Many will mistake it for bbPress not being an after thought, and development once again being kick started; though you’ll excuse the cynic in me for thinking the roll out of the new theme had as much to do with _ck_ calling Matt out on the WPtavern page as anything else.

Ha, but then again, maybe thats the real positive here. Welcome back _ck_.

[Gautam Gupta]

Like this design a lot, and nice to see you back _ck_

I think mdawaffe uploaded the new theme made by Sam, he also fixed some bugs.

[Gautam Gupta]

Warm welcome!

Glad that you came back

[mr_pelle]

Haven’t met CK before, heard great things though.

Welcome back!

Quote! Thank you for your awesome plugins and all the work you did (and I hope you will do) on bbPress!!

[Xevo]

Haven’t met CK before, heard great things though.

Welcome back!

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I have cleaned up all the code from those theme files and will be hosting them shortly.

And I can’t express how happy I am to see you back

[bb-lover]

Warm Welcome you _ck_

Its nice to see you again……we was in trouble when you left us.. Now we are happy again… please make sure us that you’ll never leave us again…This topic is all about you….

I hope no buddy give bad comments in this topic…

Love you _ck_

Regards,

bb-lover

Woah, a lot to absorb!

When I click on the forums tab from this topic page btw, I get sent to this relative link I think:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forums/

I like my meta on the right hand side instead of the left.

Since there is no toggle in this theme, you can use the Stylish plugin for Firefox to change it:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);



@-moz-document domain("bbpress.org") {

.grid_3,.grid_4 {float:right !important;}

}

You can probably do something similar with GreaseMonkey but I am not certain exactly how.

[belaldesign]

Thank you, but that topic refers to reversing the order of posts whereas I’m trying to reverse the order of topics. Regardless, I tried using the suggested code anyway and it doesn’t work for changing the order of anything. (I have the latest version of bbpress.)

[Mark McWilliams]

While Matt would appear to be burned out on bbPress, it would appear now that he’s working on a few things here and there for v1.1 which would be good. Yup, it sure is nice, and if you’re reading, let us know who’s got the new design going!

Only time will tell…!

[chrishajer]

Ah yeah, good point. I saw the #wcsf code sprint, but figured it was WordPress only. I saw in Matt’s state of the Word that he was sort of burned out on bbPress. Nice to see someone interested in it again.

It took way too long to find the necessary instructions on how to install on Godaddy. The instructions listed with the download of this software was not sufficient. When people asked questions, it had an issue resolved there, one resolved here, but nothing complete. Finally I got it to run so I thought I would share a complete instruction manual on how to do this.

First, I would like to point out that I installed it on their free hosting service if you buy a domain name through them. However you can install it on their paid hosting service the same way I am pretty sure. In fact, I installed it on their free service for now while I test things and will install it on their paid hosting service in a bit so I can edit this if it turns out to be different.

1) download BBPress. Unzip it.

2) Log in to Godaddy services. Click on the Home tab at the top left -> the sub-tab hosting -> then click on hosting under the “my products section” on the left. If you have already bought hosting or had the free version set up, you should see a list of your domain names that are set up for hosting.

3) Click on manage account next to the domain name you wish to install this bad boy on.

4) The first thing you need to do is create a database. So click on databases at the top and then mysql.

5) The click on create database on the upper center right.

6) Type in a description name (maybe forum or blah or whatever)

7) Type in the same thing in mysql database user name box

Type in a password that you can remember and then retype it in in the next box. Skip the last three boxes and click ok.

9) It will take forever and a day for the database to set up. Not really but maybe 20 minutes. In the meantime, lets go ahead and load the files onto your godaddy server. So click on the content tab at the top next to the databases tab you just selected and then click on FTP client.

10) Scroll down a bit and you will see two side by side panels. On the left is your desktop. On the right is the files on your domain name. Even if you just set up the hosting service, there will be files already on there.

11) Now you have two options. Do you want to install it at http://www.yourdomain.com/bbpress or do you want to install it directly on your main domain name http://www.yourdomain.com? If you want it directly on your domain name, then you need to transfer all the files within the downloaded folder from BBPress and not the actual folder with all the files in it. So in the left panel, you will navigate to your BBPress folder and double click it to view the contents. When you see all the files within that folder, hold the control key down and select all the files and folders within that folder. Then hit the little arrow in the center that points to the right which should move those files to the right panel and onto your domain name. If you wanted it at the http://www.yourdomain.com/bbpress, then just upload the actual folder with all the files in it versus opening up that folder and moving each file over individually. Also, you can rename the folder BBPress to something different and it will give it a different extension on your domain. For example if you renamed it Forums and loaded the entire folder onto the server, then you would have http://www.yourdomain.com/Forums.

12) Now we need to change some information in there. But first we need some information from the database you set up early. Probably it is still not set up yet and is pending setup. To check, click on databases tab at the top and then mysql. It will be listed as “setup” or “pending setup” under the status column. If it is pending setup, then grab some popcorn. Once it is ready, click on the pencil icon under the action column and you will then see the host name. It will likely start with yourdomain and then some numbers and dots and other stuff. Copy it.

13) Now click the home tab at the top.

14) Then click on the big button called “your files” under the tabs at the top.

15) Now locate the file that is called bb-config-sample.php. Check the box next to it. Then click edit at the top. A new window should pop up.

16) Scroll down and change BBDB NAME to the name you gave your database earlier. Change BBDB user to the same thing. Change mysql password to the password you set up earlier (if you used caps, you must use it here too). Then change mysql hostname (which is probably currently listed as local host) to the name you copied just a bit ago from the database pencil menu that had numbers and dots and other stuff. Then hit the save button at the top left.

17) Now this step, I forgot to do and it still works. I was just building a test site anyways so I will fix it when I attempt to load it to my real site. But you need to change the name of the file you were just editing. You should still have bb-config-sample.php still checked. Up at the top, click rename. Rename the file to bb-config.php. Essentially you are just dropping the -sample part.

18) Now navigate to your domain name where you installed the BBPress.

19) It will prompt you with the installation (or should). It will tell you that it recognizes that it is the first time and needs to be installed and then ask you to proceed. You will then enter all your information including database name, mysql user name (which was the same as the database name), and the password (with the necessary caps if you used them). But ONE PART THAT IS HIDDEN AND NEEDS to be adjusted is in the advanced section. So click the little check box. Now paste that host name you copied earlier with numbers and dots and other stuff. Now proceed onwards.

One thing I noticed is that I would proceed through the installation process at that last part and it would revert to the beginning again. I think this was because I was hosting it on Godaddy’s free server and they put ads at the top which was causing it to loop. After several times (probably 5) of clicking the buttons over and over again and retyping the information, it finally worked. Also the login screen is very basic on the free server. I don’t know if this is normal but I will let you know when I try on my paid server. But it was my understanding that the dashboard of the forum should be similar to wordpress. Maybe that is after integration between the two. Not sure.

Anyways, hope that helped. Thanks

[Mark McWilliams]

Yeah, cool, somethings happening!

Could it be Matt himself, I read we could be looking at bbPress 1.1 RC very soon!

[Geekaholic]

Thx, hab das gemacht und es hat funktioniert

[Samara]

Same issue here as well I’ve read through the forums with regards to a magic quotes issue, but he fixes listed are old and code has changed since they were posted. Any help from the devs would be super!

[kikko088]

U found this topic https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/load-bbpress-into-wordpress it can be a solution but when I put require_once(‘/bbpress/bb-config.php’ ); i recive a blank page…

any solution?

I took a look at the original plugin – if I read the code correctly it let you specify a series of keywords that get associated to a given icon, and if those keywords are seen in the name of a given forum then it (the forum) gains that icon?

I am inclined to create an admin interface for that functionality rather than having you edit the plugin itself.

If keyword matching against the topic/forum name is the way you want to go, then I will happily code something into my topic-icons plugin. This will come in three parts:

1. a new “plugin” bundled with my topic icons one that adds a new admin interface for associating keyword lists to icon names
2. A new rule-processor for my topic-icons plugin that reads these keyword-to-icon names rules and applies them
3. a new icon-set (skin) that gives you access to the old icons that _ck_ used before.

I believe that I can replicate (and improve upon, given that it had no admin interface) what the original plugin offered.

[kevinator]

We’ve got a little problem. We use WP as our CMS with Salesforce on the backend. Usernames = email address. bbPress “Favorites” display a user’s username (email) when you go to look at any user’s Favorites. This is bad. You get…

First Last (usersemail@domain.com) favorites

So since the “Favorites” function is not very popular on our site, I thought we could simply deactivate that functionality, rather than having to write a bunch of code to hide the email address from this page.

Anyone?

[johnhiler]

I’m only aware of one conflict between Hidden Forums and 1.0 – I thought it was addressed with this fix?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/ugly-error-on-main-page

The code is definitely older, but when it comes to privacy-related code… tested and working code is worth its weight in gold!

[zaerl]

No admin interface, hasn’t been updated for over an year -> old

No > 1.0 compatibility -> broken

My plugin take code from the _ck_ one but it’s at another level of complexity.
