Thanks for the info Dailytalker, always great to hear real world examples.
The issues i have is that almost all of features which your users could use are availible for BBpress as a plugin. TinyMCE, Quotes, report users/posts, are all availible as plugins. Changing login requirements and temporary bans are also availible as a plugin.
Private messaging (and there is a plugin) is a funny one because some people love it, most think its useless when there’s such a thing as e-mail. Not to mention it just leads to added spam.
“high security level no spam” is something i doubt, because so far, no-one has been able to elimate spam. Google/microsoft/apple – you name it – they get spam. Its more than likely that your particular board got no to little spam, and it was picked up.
For me, these 2 stand out:
you could move posts from one topic to another in a very easy and very nice way
sophisticated admin-section
These are the issues i face with BBpress everyday. I know that different people will be faced with different problems, but when we simply can’t fully administer BBpress, surely its the feature that has to come first.
If you dont mind me saying also DailyTalker, your old forum looks far more like a forum than your new BBpress one (which looks very plain and boring). I’d definately suggest creating a theme to make your two forums look the same. This will make life easier for the users
Thanks for the discussion, and have a merry christmas.
Kevin, you can check yourself:
Old forum:
http://www.dailytalk.ch/forums/index.php
(I had pretty urls before but I removed them when I moved this forum into another folder.)
New forum:
http://www.dailytalk.ch/forum/
The old forum had a tinymce-editor with a lot of cool features…drop-down menu for font-size, drop-down menu for different font-style, drop-down menu for different font-color, you could put some letters up (for example “CO2” you could write with the 2 higher than the other letters and also deeper etc.) movies, pictures, links, quotes with name of the original author, message function to reporte abusive messages to the moderators, you could temporary ban members, you could move posts from one topic to another in a very easy and very nice way, sophisticated privat messaging, high security level no spam, you could in an easy way change the login requirements, sophisticated admin-section, admins could see the IP-Number of the visitors, very easy mod (=plugins) upload through integrated ftp-upload, ssi-functions and so on….
The change to bbpress was not an easy decision for me. In my opinion bbpress is still an adventure. Many bbpress-projects are on release candidate level. I used SMF for 3 years and was happy. The problem is that I also have blogs on wordpress and wordpress mu. I had some problems with integration of SMF into wordpress. There are certainly some very old bridges but the different codings didn’t make it easy to me. I integrated SMF with SSI-Functions to wordpress…but I think that because of the similiar coding bbpress is much easier to integrate into wordpress. Thats why I finally decided to give bbpress a chance. I’m somebody who likes to try out new or other things.
@hpguru, what you say is not true at all!!! I never ever had problems with spam when I used SMF!!! SMF offers different register opportunities. They have in the admin-section a so called registration management which offers four different options for registration:
1) Registration Disabled:
Disables the registration process, which means that no new members can register to join your forum.
2) Immediate Registration
New members can login and post immediately after registering on your forum.
3) Member Activation
When this option is enabled any members registering to the forum will have a activation link emailed to them which they must click before they can become full members
4) Member Approval
This option will make it so all new members registering to your forum will need to be approved by the admin before they become members.
Further they have captcha-codes which need to be entered in a registration field. (You can even change the level of those codes. They have different difficulty-levels).
New updates are shown in the admin section…is very simliar to wordpress and you can easy update with integrated ftp-upload.
I missed this one – sorry about that. Looked like an interactive meet – nice to see some changes happening.
I would still like to contribute to/work on a new design for the bbPress website, considering that I can’t be of too much help on the coding side of bbPress.
Can’t wait to see the new version.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Agree with grassrootspa.
By the way, mimicked your forum’s looks (only the table part
) – http://forum.gaut.am/ (This is the Mystique theme which I have ported today to bbPress, still under development)
There’s still plenty I want to do with it – most of that will happen when I purchase a new domain for it.
I’m glad you like it. I must say, however, that I’m not too happy with it.I also preferred the fluid look for a while, but I found that more and more people are using wide-screens – some even HD, so there’s a lot of white-space, even on 1280×800 (my current resolution).
I quite like those designs. If you didn’t have the ‘Powered by bbPress’, I wouldn’t even know which forum software you were using (only at a glance, though). I like what you have going there. I’ve been trying to incorporate avatars in the forum list, but with no luck.
I’m not too sure what you mean. I think you should open up a new topic for this – I have a funny feeling this one might be closed because we’re going off topic.
Gautam: Thanks. I thought that because I made the forum only show categories, the recent conversations should have more information. Otherwise there would be too much whitespace.
If you do, let me know so I can comment.
grassrootspa: Thanks very much.
You think so? I still would like to make changes to it. Would you do that if it was your forum?I downloaded a template called BusinessLike from AwesomStyles.com and modified most of it.
Thanks for your kind comments guys.
Hey guys,
I have a weird forum display issue and have no clue what I’m doing wrong. (My site is NewsTalkPA.com)
I’m trying to get the lower forum section on FrontPage.php and Forum.php to display like this:
CATEGORIES_TOPICS_POSTS_(GRAVATAR)_LAST POSTER_LAST POST (see: http://newstalkpa.com/)
1) Everything seems to be working for the first 3 headings (which are standard), but the “Gravatar” and “Last Poster” seem to show up in the wrong rows (the Gravatar and Last Poster for the corresponding sections appear one row off.)
I have no clue why this happens. It’s probably something very silly.
Any idea what I messed up in the coding?:
2) Also, any advice on getting the LAST POST to generate a clickable link to that post (right now the link is not clickable)
Thanks in advance as I am stumped!

If I have WPMU subdomain blogs installed at: blogname.domain.com, how do I install a bbPress forum within one of these subdomain blogs at: blogname.domain.com/forum?
Since there is no actual subdomain configured within cPanel and the WPMU subdomain blogs are virtual, I don’t have a folder there to install bbPress into.
I only need to install a bbPress forum within 1 WPMU subdomain blog, however, I will take a solution that does this for all subdomain blogs, if need be.
From there, I’m assuming that I can integrate the bbPress installation(s) with WPMU so that user accounts can be shared, like usual?
Need to figure this one out very soon!
Thank you!!
I really like the way you columnize the topic table. Thinking to follow the same layout in my future designs, if any
Can anyone tell me how to link to the current commenter’s profile page? ie:
http://www.mysite.com/forum/profile/username
currently the template I’m using links to any url specified by the author (usually his own website), but I want everyone’s name to point to their profile page on my forum.
using bb 1, and the function looks like this
function post_author_link( $post_id = 0 ) {
if ( $link = get_user_link( get_post_author_id( $post_id ) ) ) {
echo '<a href="' . esc_attr( $link ) . '">' . get_post_author( $post_id ) . '</a>';
} elseif ( $link = bb_get_post_meta( 'pingback_uri' )) {
echo '<a href="' . esc_attr( $link ) . '">' . get_post_author( $post_id ) . '</a>';
} else {
post_author( $post_id );
}Thanks so much! Works like an absolute charm!
I’m not too worried about internal links being opened in a new tab, as I’d like people to not be taken away from the topic until they are happy to close it. If I find it needs to be that way, I will try and implement the code to only work when there is an external link, by checking the domain name.
Thanks again – happy holidays!
Yo pondría el bloque de login en el sidebar, igual que en el theme de wp
I would put login block in sidebar, as in wp theme
I take it no-one has a clue about this one ‘ey?
Not to worry though – I might find out how to do it next year.
