Hi Paulhawke
Thanks a bundle, it works like a charm 
). I have only one thing left which is very minor.
Would it be possible to use Ajax when you have voted, so the vote appears right away, instead of having to reload the page before it appears?

I installed the plugin, deleted the table … then walked through rebuilding the database from what I saw in the code. The following SQL is an export of my bb_bbpm table direct from mySQL. If you run it, you should get PMs back up and running.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS bb_bbpm (
ID bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
pm_title varchar(100) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
pm_read tinyint(1) NOT NULL default 0,
pm_from bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
pm_to bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
pm_text text collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
sent_on int(10) NOT NULL,
del_sender tinyint(1) NOT NULL default 0,
del_reciever tinyint(1) NOT NULL default 0,
reply_to bigint(20) unsigned default NULL,
thread_depth int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default 0,
pm_thread bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (ID),
KEY pm_to (pm_to,pm_from,reply_to),
KEY pm_thread (pm_thread)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci ;
Okay, so I’ve successfully integrated both WordPress and bbPress and combined the themes into one. I wanted to try this since no one else has. So, I used the bbPress Kakumei theme because styling from a WP theme was much to hard at this point given that the whole bbPress template would’ve needed to be redone. Anyways, the header was probably the easiest since I simply copied and pasted the code.
It’ll sone be up for grabs if I can get all the other template files together. I’m wondering, though, if I should give credit to Bryon Veloso since it was based off of his theme(?)
Here is my demo site (the site I designed it on): http://thevaultonline.megabyet.net
Comments/Critiques?
Great feedback, thanks!
I’ll modify the plugin so that if you’ve already voted I’ll have it take away the voting link.
I’ll also look at writing out a list of who has voted “thanks”, but by default that output will be turned OFF. You will need to enable it via the admin interface.
Is anyone running this plugin on the 0.9 branch of code? I see no reason why it shouldnt function, but someone has asked if it does. If someone can give me a yes / no on that I’ll amend the “Requires version” tag accordingly.
Okay, I have this plugin found on this uri activated: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-mobile/
I’m using bbPress 1.0.1
Not working.
I’ve added in the file bb-mobile.php the user-agent for iPhones Safari 4.0 mobile
also i added a user-agent switcher addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59) on my firefox, but even if the user-agent is recognized as safari 4.0 mobile — tracked by getclicky, the website is not being shown in a mobile friendly version.
Suggestions?
I believe those my- folders are still needed. What makes you think they’re not?
1.0.2 was creating the folders with the wrong permissions, 0750, instead of 0755, but that bug was fixed I believe, just not packaged and released yet. https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1139
hi all and thanks for your answers which were (not what i hoped for) but expected ;O) I know going back to v. 0.9 would solve most problems, but i have based everything on the latest build and i am quite happy with that. I will just have to wait and see where things is going )
thanks
Yes, same here and same result – and I redid it over again with no satisfaction.
A couple of things to note.
When you create the bbpress sub-folder within the wordpress folder, one needs to make the bbpress (or forum, etc.) folder writable so that the install can write the bb-config.php file.
I also note that the install (v. 1.02) created the no-longer-used folders my-plugins and my-templates, which I believe is a remnant from older versions, with apache permissions – meaning that I’ll need to telnet in and remove these from the command-line – something that the average wordpress user would like to avoid.
In looking around at what’s going on with BBPress and WordPress integration; my comment is that I primarily deploy WordPress as a CMS solution so my vote is for integration as a short code plug-in for WordPress. I also see the need for BBPress as a stand alone application – perhaps a fork in the road is the best solution?
@ kevinjohngallagher
Nothing is impossible, even the word impossible says it self, i.e. I+M+Possible…
so don’t lose ur hopes, may be one day we get its solution 
Hi there,
This is someting bandied about every now and then. There are a few issues stopping this from happeneing
- A new version of BBpress is coming out soon
- Given BBpress’s track record, it might/will/possibly break all/most plugins
- Who should determine which are the most used plugins
- How do we know which ones work and don’t work
_ck_ gave up a huge amount of time for BBpress, and in the end, did not get the same value back out of BBpress/Automattic/Community. Its hard, as a developer, to see what happened with _ck_ and want to go down that path until things are sorted out.
I wouldn’t waste any time developing plug ins for a platform that I know is going to change in the near future, possibly breaking my plug-ins again

Chris Hajer is one of, if not the, moderator around here, and a well respected cool calm person. Even Chris, who obviously shares our love for what BBpress could become, feels that plugin development right now would be a waste of time.
If you have a specific bug with a plugin, come back and post it here. It might be a quick fix. But if you’re looking for “the coders here” to rewrite a bunch of plugins off our own backs, well, it ain’t too likely i’m afraid.
Take care.
Hi all
Would it be possible for the coders in here to upgrade the most used plugins even though it is not made be them?. I am talking about some of CK´s, the rating plugin etc.
Cheers
I get a lot more than 3 good posts in my spam queues every day… but my forum does 3.5k-5k posts/day, so on a percentage basis I can’t complain. The real problem is when a long-time user gets stuck in spam – they get SO upset! That’s why I wrote some code to let them skip the spam software completely…
@onthebeach96 – Dunno much about phpbb… sorry I can’t be of more help! I used to really struggle with undeleted spam posts, before I installed this batch edit plugin which made life so much easier!
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/mass-edit/
Akismet can be OK, but every few months it flips out and starts sticking a lot of ham into the spam queue. 
After using it for 3 years, I’ve realized that it’s not reliable enough to depend on – especially since it even checks admin and moderator posts! This plugin helps on that front:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/skip-akismet/
I have a separate plugin which stops sending posts to Akismet after they’ve been around for a certain amount of time and certain number of posts…
Between those plugins, that limits the amount of damage (e.g. false positives) that Akismet can do!
Spammers suck, they are impossible to stop it seems. Recaptcha seems good but people don’t like typing codes just to post their forum posts. It’s sort of a crap shoot.
@grassrootspa I read that Akismet may not work perfectly as a plugin, so I don’t know what to do.
Absolutely. Now, if you want to avoid spam users from even registering, then you might want to install Project Honey Pot as well. Has worked brilliantly for me.
Akismet is really good. I can’t say I know just how good because I’ve never had spam.
I also use Project Honey Pot which checks the respective website for actve spam IP addresses.
With both of those, you’re sorted.
I’m currently using PHPBB for my forum software but I get SO MUCH spam. I’m considering either putting a recaptcha code on there for each post, or I’m looking into other software like bbPress. I love WordPress and so I would really like to use bbPress but I see there is no code that must be entered before posting so I wonder if spam will again be a problem.
What are your thoughts people? How do you control spam in your forums? I’ve had to lock my forums until I get a good solution.
It’s really great to see that people are working on bbPress themes.
kevinjohngallagher then how can i solve this issue….. you did not tell me the solution
There are plenty of 3rd party libraries that deal with the feed reading. Thus far I have a working admin screen that relies on AJAX services to validate a given feed URL. Combination of a GOOD rss library on the backend, and the encode_json() method from PHP means I’m golden for right now.
Milestone 1 of the plugin is complete – administration page to handle a single feed. Milestone 2 is starting – using that data to actually monitor the single feed. When Milestone 2 is completed I’ll grab a couple of people to beta test.
Ok I found the problem.
“bbCode lite” is NOT working while “bbpress SEO tools” is activated. Those plugins are not compatible each other.
Exactly, so just take 1 away from the total posts and that leaves you with how many replies there are
$number_of_posts = int $result->topic_post;
$number_of_replies = $number_of_posts – 1;
Make sure all files (especially bb-includes & bb-includes/backpress files) are uploaded.
@kevinjohngallagher
The code you wrote would make the script echo all the usernames in the source code. Think if there are hundreds of usernames or a user database like that of wordpress, which has thousands of usernames, will you echo all of them? And try to match each of that with javascript!?
