@josh16 I have tried Vanilla 1.1.10 but unfortunately I find it annoyingly hard to skin. And for some reason I don’t really like their new version 2.
I think I will try out bbPress and see what some of my users think of it.
Thanks for everyones comments and inputs!
Topic: A Bit of Feedback
I first found BBpress 3 years ago. Personally I don’t remember finding BBpress or what I used it for, but I know that my account on here is 3 years old. I wonder if I have amnesia
When I rediscovered BBpress yesterday I was pretty excited because the fact is that there isn’t anything like this on the net. This is the smoothest, lightest, nicest looking forum software out there.
However, (and it’s always the however that gets y0u) BBpress needs a little forum work. I made a pun. Seriously, just trying to download plugins has been a major pain. Half the files either don’t work or they aren’t there. Some have major security flaws.
So I ask you this, “Where are the forum moderators?” Make BBpress a bit more friendly and you’ll not only make it work better, you’ll also grab more interest from people who will make BBpress a phenomenon.

This plugin lets users set their own passwords during the registration process:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password
That said, this system doesn’t verify email addresses… I suppose you could commission a separate plugin to do that, if you wanted? This plugin might be worth studying for clues on how to pull email confirmation off.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/approve-user-registration/
Good luck!
That would be perfect
For my purposes this solution is very fine.Are you ready up to this point? Would you release it for us?
Thanks!

There’s a few ways to do this, and probably using .htaccess would be the best, but i think you’re overlooking a rather more simple solution.
Why not just change the “front-page.php” file in your theme to be a static list of forums? I did that on one of mine and it made alot of difference and a quick fix
E-mail subscription is one thing that most of my users miss. In trunk we have this built-in, but problem is that we can only have a link on which users could click to subscribe/unsubscribe and no checkboxes bellow post’s form or automatic subscription.
I inspected trunk to see how this could be solved and found that there aren’t any hooks that could be used. Only way is to copy existing functions used for subscription and editing them so that they could work as we want.
So I tried to follow this aproach and make function which would add checkboxes. I took inspiration from _ck_’s Subscribe to Topic plugin.
First thing, I wanted checkbox to show option depending on if user is already subscribed or not. By hacking function bb_user_subscribe_link I succeed in this. Here is a code:
function bb_user_subscribe_checkbox() {
global $topic, $bb_current_user, $bbdb, $bb;
if ( !bb_is_user_logged_in() )
return false;
$there = false;
if ( $term_id = $bbdb->get_var( “SELECT term_id FROM $bbdb->terms WHERE slug = ‘topic-$topic->topic_id'” ) ) {
$term_taxonomy_ids = $bbdb->get_col( “SELECT term_taxonomy_id FROM $bbdb->term_taxonomy WHERE term_id = $term_id AND taxonomy = ‘bb_subscribe'” );
$term_taxonomy_ids = join(‘,’, $term_taxonomy_ids );
$there = $bbdb->get_var( “SELECT object_id FROM $bbdb->term_relationships WHERE object_id = $bb_current_user->ID AND term_taxonomy_id IN ( $term_taxonomy_ids )” );
}
if ( $there )
echo ‘<label><input name=”subscription_checkbox” type=”checkbox” value=”remove” ‘ . checked_on_front(false, $there) . ‘>Remove my e-mail subscription for this thread</label>’;
else
echo ‘<label><input name=”subscription_checkbox” type=”checkbox” value=”add” ‘ . checked_on_front(false, $there) . ‘>Notify me of followup posts via e-mail</label>’;
}
function checked_on_front( $checked, $current) {
if ( $checked == $current)
return ‘ checked=”checked”‘;
}
add_action(‘edit_form’,’bb_user_subscribe_checkbox’,9);
add_action(‘post_form’,’bb_user_subscribe_checkbox’,9);
As I said above, this works. But problem is with function that should take value of checkbox and subscribe or unsubscribe user. I used code from file bb-includes/action.subscribe.php but without succes. Here is it:
function bb_checkbox_subscription_update($post_id=0) {
global $bbdb, $bb_current_user, $bb_post, $topic, $wp_taxonomy_object;
$bb_post=bb_get_post($post_id);
if (!empty($_REQUEST)) {
$checkbox_status = $_REQUEST;
if ( ‘add’ == $checkbox_status ) {
$tt_ids = $wp_taxonomy_object->set_object_terms( $bb_current_user->ID, ‘topic-‘ . $topic->topic_id, ‘bb_subscribe’, array( ‘append’ => true, ‘user_id’ => $bb_current_user->ID ) );
} elseif ( ‘remove’ == $checkbox_status ) {
// I hate this with the passion of a thousand suns
$term_id = $bbdb->get_var( “SELECT term_id FROM $bbdb->terms WHERE slug = ‘topic-$topic->topic_id'” );
$term_taxonomy_id = $bbdb->get_var( “SELECT term_taxonomy_id FROM $bbdb->term_taxonomy WHERE term_id = $term_id AND taxonomy = ‘bb_subscribe'” );
$bbdb->query( “DELETE FROM $bbdb->term_relationships WHERE object_id = $bb_current_user->ID AND term_taxonomy_id = $term_taxonomy_id” );
$bbdb->query( “DELETE FROM $bbdb->term_taxonomy WHERE term_id = $term_id AND taxonomy = ‘bb_subscribe'” );
}
}
}
add_action( ‘bb_insert_post’, ‘bb_checkbox_subscription_update’);
It does nothing. State of subscription of user is not changed but I also do not get any errors.
Is there any way to change this code so that it becomes useful?
Apart from above, after inspecting this code, I think that this could be solved much better, by making more functions and hooks which could be used by developers.
First, here is how subscription works. (links are to current revison, 2421).
In topic.php file of template, we call function bb_user_subscribe_link. This function is placed in bb-includes/funtions.templates.php and what it does is to show link with subscribe/unsubscribe action. Checking for state of subscription is done inside this function. Those links make GET request so in bb-load.php there is check for them which includes file bb-includes/action.subscribe.php. In this file there is function which adds values for subscription in database, based on request from link above, and finally redirects user to topic’s page.
Sending of notification is done via function bb_notify_subscribers in file bb-includes/functions.bb-posts.php. This function is called by action bb_new_post in bb-includes/default.bb-filters.php.
As you can see, we can’t use functions for this nor could we add hooks. My idea is following:
- splitting function bb_user_subscribe_link into one that does checking status of subscription for cuurent user, so that we can use it like in my example with checkboxes, and one which would only return link
- in bb-includes/action.subscribe.php (or in other functions file) make function that would do subscribing/unsubscribing in database so that it could be called on other places like in my example above; rest of file would be used as it now, with difference that we call function from last sentence
- in function bb_notify_subscribers add hook before sending e-mail so that we can, for example, have plugin which sends only one meesage to user, untill he visit topic again (as in other forum software, requested here)
- add bb_user_subscribe_link inside if function which checks if e-mail subscription is turned on globaly by administrator (there are forum owners who don’t want this feature for any of reasons; would be turned on by default)
What are others thinking about this, especialy those involved with development (commiters, patch-makers)? Could those solutions be made and included? I think that there isn’t much work for it because it is only hacking of existing code.
Hi Amwilson,
Always glad to hear someone thinking through using bbPress to see if it fits their needs.
bbpress appears to integrate with buddyppress
It doesn’t. Well, kinda.
Basically, it doesn’t. BuddyPress uses a large hack of bbPress (it removes almost all the work in the bbPress1.0.2 backend). They do look similar, and work simialr, and share some code… but the bbPress/forum you see in BuddyPress is fundamentally different.
Basically, any changes to bbPress (haha) will not appear in BuddyPress unless one of the BuddyPress team takes the time to manuall convert/hack them. That said, the BuddyPress team seem on the ball with this sort of thing.
how should I set bbpress up now before it becomes a plugin to make the transition better when it does become a plugin?
We have no idea. bbPress becoming a plugin of WordPress was ‘announced’ in the middle of an IRC chat by Matt with no warning or explanation. Its never been written in a forum post or a blog post, and we have no other information other than Matt posting that “I just want to quit the whole project” 2 months ago.
At this point in time, none of us have any information and the ‘weekly’ IRC chats and Blog posts haven’t happened in 14 weeks; so spending anytime thinking about making life easier down the line is going ot be fruitless. We’re all clueless.
Should I set it up to use my wordpress database or give bbpress its own database? I am not sure if the separate database will be an option after it is a plugin
Having the same database makes integration a bucket load easier.
I’d presume that would be the same when bbPress becomes a plugin.
Is it simple to import simple:press data to bbpress?
There are a few hacks for converting forums to bbPress on these boards. Paul Hawke has written a few and they seem to get good reviews. You’ll have to do a search though to see if Simple Press is included, but Paul’s threads and code is definately the place to start.
If so I may just use simple:press for now until bbpress becomes a plugin
Just a heads up, bbPress 0.9 to 1.0 had a full time paid developer from Automattic, and it took 14 months to be released with virtually no feature improvements. bbPress 1.1 has taken 10 months to develop, and we’re no where near realease ready.
bbPress as a WP plugin, even if we all stopped work on bbPress1.1 and focussed on that, wouldn’t be ready this year.
=============================
My big advice is to make a list of the feautres you want your forum to have, and post them here and see if bbPress can meet those needs. If it can, awesome. If it can’t – better to find out now
No.
There is no way to downgrade from bbPress1.0 to bbPress0.9.
And you’re right that with a little knowledge you can convert 0.9 plugins to 1.0 plugins
bbPress integration is not something the folks releasing WordPress are fussed about.
bbPress0.9 is only meant to integrate with WP2.5 and 2.6. There is a hack/plugin to let it integrate with WP2.7; and so far that has been reported to work for 2.8 and 2.9 but it’s not designed with that in mind.
We’ll see what happens with WP3.0, and if the current plugin/hack continutes to work, but i severly doubt it will. Either way, i’d not worry about the beta too much, and I’d def suggest holding off upgrading WP3.0 until at least WP3.0.1 anyway.
Me too!
Yes http://forum.buddypress-it.it/ looks great…great job. How can we install that theme?
Your Theme at http://forum.buddypress-it.it/ looks great! Are you finished with the development?
(I don’t want to push, but maybe you’ve forgotten it…
)
Thank you for your comments.
I am in the need for a light-weight discussion board, preferably something that isn’t tied to WordPress. And for this I think bbPress suits perfectly. But I don’t want to invest time in something that isn’t going nowhere.
@ pelle..
Ok dear.. no need to fight.. your plugin is really pretty
… but it did not work for my forums..I don’t know why.. may be I was wrong.. best of luck..
Regards
cNc
Really annoying. Any ideas? Thanks
