So that page is current? It appeared to me that it was a bit out of date with the references to pre-1.0, but hey, glad it works!

So that solves 2) Awesome! Am still seeing 1)

Thinking this is an .htaccess issue. Is there a current link for what should appear in the .htaccess file? Still getting blank page anytime I click on Admin or access an admin page manually (via url).

: Have tried

– Deleting cookies

– Flushing cache

– various long & convoluted .htaccess files found here.

Have installed to a subdir of my root wp installation, dir is named forum.

Here is my current .htaccess for bbpress:

# BEGIN BBPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forums/

Options +MultiViews

</IfModule>

# END BBPress

Almost there!

buddha trance, works perfectly in 1.0.2.

Using 0.9.0.4, it gives me the top half of the page and no more. These are the last two things in the rendered page:

<div id="main">



<div class="bbcrumb">

[Ben L.]

Add <?php $topic = $GLOBALS['topic'] = get_latest_topics( array( 'number' => 1, 'forum' => get_forum_id() ) ); ?> before the snippet you posted. (Untested, but I think it will work)

I have downloaded it, thank you. I saw that the problem came from the fact that it was only allowing Key Masters as the minimum access. I realized that there was a problem with my database which is why it was not saving the settings when I changed them.

It al works perfectly now – thanks!

[Michael]

That’s awesome! I have just commented on the beta. Thank you!

And thanks for the tips – they sound very logical, and pretty much confirm what I kept asking myself.

I really appreciate all your help.

Just released bbCumulus beta – https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-cumulus/

[Gautam]

Here are some steps when converting WP plugins into BB:

1. Change everything from WP to bb (except some functions like wp_enqueue_scripts, etc – they are borrowed as it is from WP, actually they are in BackPress)
2. Activation & Deactivation are hooks, not functions
3. There are some different functions like bb_title();, bb_option('description');, bb_option(’uri’);
4. If a function name doesnt start with wp_, then most of the times bb_ is added to avoid conflicts when WP functions are loaded into bbPress (integrated)
5. There are also functions like bb_is_topic() etc like is_single() in WP
6. etc….

BTW, nice theme of your forums…

Greetings all (I have removed the 888 from my user-name – I just couldn’t stand it anymore)

I hope someone can guide me or point me in the right direction here. In various attempts to understand how the bbPress plugin system works, I am trying to convert a few WordPress plugins into bbPress ones.

I’m starting off with “WP-Cumulus” as well as “Let It Snow”. I’m not sure, however, what to look out for. For example, what are the differences between WP and bbPress when it comes to adding extra admin and profile info.

What things should I look for while I go about doing this?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

[Michael]

Yeah, the OpenID plugin works quite well. I wish it was a little more theme-adaptive, but there’s a work-around for everything.

gerikg: Good idea – we’d like these meetings to be as productive as possible. And you’re very welcome to attend on Wednesday. Looking forward to hearing your ideas.

[gerikg]

I want to put a new column called “Last Post” on the bottom section of the front-page.php.

so it will be

Forums

Main Theme Topics Posts Last Post

Installation — Getting it up and running -6,451 9,163 by GerikG on Thu Dec 10 2009 16:48:32

I tried

<small>by <?php topic_last_poster(); ?><br />on <a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php echo date("D M j Y G:i:s", strtotime($topic->topic_time)); ?></small>

but that didn’t work.

[buddha-trance]

OK, here is a possible quick workaround for now. Really late at night here, so I don’t have enough neurons to come up with a different solution.

The popular tags feature has a limit of 80 tags.

If you create another template and call it all-tags.php, put it in the forum directory, and use the call for the popular tags, but without the limit, it should work.

all-tags.php

<?php

require('./bb-load.php');

?>



<?php bb_get_header(); ?>



<div class="bbcrumb"><a href="<?php bb_uri(); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> &raquo; <?php _e('All Tags'); ?></div>



<p role="main"><?php _e('This is the list of all tags that are currently used on the forums.'); ?></p>



<div id="hottags">

<?php bb_tag_heat_map( 9, 38, 'pt' ); ?>

</div>



<?php bb_get_footer();

then call for youdomain.com/forums/all-tags.php

or the path where the file is

I don’t have that many tags, so I can’t test it.

At least, this is the principle, maybe there is another template code for that, like bb_get_tags or so…

[buddha-trance]

@chrishajer – you are right… I don’t have a lot of tags on mine and I thought it was listing them all…

I’ll try to find out if there is a complete list option.

[buddha-trance]

Is this what you mean?

yourdomain.com/forums-directory/tags/

/tags/

will take you to the list

[chrishajer]

To be clear, that just removes the search box, or hides it from display if you choose to do it with CSS display:none;. People could still access the search function directly by accessing the URL http://www.example.com/bbpress/search.php?q=keyword. If you just want to reduce visual clutter, remove the code from your template as suggested by hatter.

[chrishajer]

It’s probably not the CSS, but my guess is it’s something related to this specific setup. Maybe the language in use or the RTL CSS or integration with WordPress. bbPress does this by default when you type something that looks like a URL. Here I will just type something and bbPress will just linkify it: http://www.google.com (I typed www google com but with the periods in it)

bbpress as wordpress plugin?

I see … Probably BuddyPress is more important project … ?

ahh… that’s 2:30 in the night here…

[Michael]

I agree with Chrishajer. I didn;t know that bbPress does it without a plugin. This as I did not use my forum at all until I had some plugins installed (including bbcode).

@Chrishajer: I don’t think it would have anything to do with the CSS file. I’m sure there’s a file (I haven’t looked) that has the function that parses the post.

Hi rleon!

Thanks for joining!

The smaller statistics were entered manually based on functions in the built-in statistics file, except for the newly registered members which I wrote myself.

The actual ‘Detailed Statistics’ comes from a plugin called MyViews. Search it up in the plugin browser.

I also have a ton of other plugins – which is why the forum looks somewhat advanced.

Regards

Michael

[rleon]

Hi Michael888

Nice work. I registered to your forum too

But I am pretty new to this and I am wondering what plugins you used to get the

Board Statistics

From my reading it may be a combo of plugins.

[rickxxx]

whatever you do with bbPress, please make sure to keep it SIMPLE to be used by “average internet users” and “newbies”.

Only “simple to use” applications enjoy huge success. Look at Craigslist, Facebook, etc.

Features need to add value for the user and provide easy to use interface.

For example looking at the WordPress-Dashboard “Admin-interface”, I still believe this interface is way too complicated to use and not really self-explanatory. A newby will be confused and just click away from it.

Start thinking out of the box

Thanks !
