I’m running the current trunk version (checked out today) and forum_description(''); still produces the dash. I added a space and found that forum_description(' '); kills the dash but puts a space into the html markup. This space doesn’t seem to affect render but, being a perfectionist and a little annoyed that forum_description does any text manipulation at all, I’d like it gone. Suggestions, solutions?
I figured resurrecting this thread gave it context.
bbPress because it’s the only forum software I know that can be easily customized . In phpbb, VB, IPB etc… you have to browse lines of code juste to change the HTML structure, you even have to hardcode something in the core files, which is not the case with bbPress because you have powerful things like hooks, templates etc…
But of course, you need some knowledge in HTML and Php ( at least some basics ) in order to make your bbPress really unique .
All in all, I think that bbPress is the best forum software for web developpers looking to customize ENTIRELY a forum and make it really unique . Just take a look at the lame phpBB2 boards out there, they are all identical, except the headers, nothing unique, the same structure etc…
Okay, I’ve done something really simple, and I need some advices ( security, XSS vulnerabilities etc… ) as its the first hook I write for bbPress and I don’t want my future maths board to be hacked at its launch :
EDIT : as bbPress escapes some characters, I posted my code on pastebin : http://pastebin.com/f4e5653cd .
yes, but how can i disable wrapping for

inside ?
Here is an example:

Hmm, backticks converts just the numeric entity, converts both numeric and named. Weird.
[code] converts both numeric and named. Weird.

I have http://keskustelu.hpguru.net/forum/pelit etc. without any topics, this is main forum. I have subforums with discussion. In index page i have a main forum with zero post and subject (main forum). I don’t want them zeros. Kakumei don’t display zeros there.
http://keskustelu.hpguru.net/forum/pelit is nonwork, no subforums list. Can i disable link to this page from index? Bad english, but i wish that you help me out. 
Theme is http://urbangiraffe.com/themes/guangzhou/
To theme developer: awesome theme! Use too in my blog.
You need to change localhost to this can0932412570712.db.5237484.hostedresource.com since that’s the name of the host your database resides on. It will work fine after that, assuming the password is correct.
Not to worry – I am simply uploading to the bb-templates instead. Works fine.

I recently installed bbPress as phpBB and SMF did not work for me. Everything’s working peachy, except for one.
I uploaded a theme into the my-themes directory, and I now cannot access it. At all. I also cannot access the my-plugins folder. Their permissions both are 0750 (drwxr-x—). Because of that, it gives me a 550 error, stating that I do not have permission to access the folder. I can’t even change the permissions.
Is there a solid way to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
I’ve seen it here and also experienced it at Justin Tadlock’s Theme Hybrid forums.
I don’t rely on bbPress built in search too much since it’s so bad. I just use google site:bbpress.org/forums whatever to search. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t fix it, but it does not appear to be the only thing wrong with bbPress search.
There was recent discussion of the quality of bbPress plugin search too:

But since there is an Hebrew translation at http://bbpress.mywebspace.co.il/ , you don’t really need a solution
did you quote the filename?
require_once('/absolute/path/to/wp-load.php');
I never figured this out. Can anyone point me to where the code is in kakumei? thanks in advance.
Hi all,
I am Abhinav. I am facing a slight problem deep integrating the latest stable versions of WordPress ( 2.8.6 ) with bbPress ( 1.0.2 ) on a website – I have completed the user and cookie integration and it works perfectly. All the settings are configured and saved properly. However after I add the line :
require_once(/absolute/path/to/wp-load.php);
to the top of bb-config.php .. Forums page goes blank! No errors, no warning messages.. Just a blank page with no code at all..
Before installing the bbPress live on the server, I developed the theme on my system locally and tested deep integration thoroughly a few times – everything works just fine locally but it’s creating trouble live on the server.
I have checked echoing values from the WordPress files that are loaded into bbPress.. that confirms that WordPress is being loaded properly.. But why isn’t bbPress loading after that !
I suspect that having WordPress installed and running since a long time already is causing the problem!
I have deep integrated various websites where WordPress was already installed and running for quite sometime without any issues..
Can it be a plugin conflict? The website is using 37 (
) plugins at the moment..
( Should I post a list of plugins being used? )
Can anyone help me out, please?
I’d be very grateful..
Regards..
Hi,
Currently forum.php only shows the topic titles in the forum. I want to extend it a little bit and let it also show the content of the first topic. Example:
Current:
Title 1 (I have a problem)
Title 2 (I hate bananas)
etc
What I want:
Title 1 (I have a problem)
Hi guys, can you help me with my problem?
Title 2 (I hate bananas)
I hate bananas and you? I really hate the taste!
etc
Current forum code:
<?php
require_once('./bb-load.php');
$forum_id = 0;
bb_repermalink();
if ( !$forum )
bb_die(__('Forum not found.'));
$bb_db_override = false;
do_action( 'bb_forum.php_pre_db', $forum_id );
if ( !$bb_db_override ) :
if ( $topics = get_latest_topics( $forum_id, $page ) ) {
bb_cache_last_posts( $topics );
}
if ( $stickies = get_sticky_topics( $forum_id, $page ) ) {
bb_cache_last_posts( $stickies );
}
endif;
bb_load_template( 'forum.php', array('bb_db_override', 'stickies'), $forum_id );
?>
Seems that thread must be added some where and then only from the first topic (so no replies else it gets too big)
Any ideas? Also the template should be updated I think.
Kind regards,
Ok, I obviously wasn’t looking hard enough. 
Hidden-Forums will (as the name suggests), hide forums? What if you don’t want to hide forums, but just stop people with certain roles posting to the forum?
bbPress is not a forum plugin for WordPress; it’s its own separate program.
What are the basic features of a forum you’d like to see? Let us know, and we can help steer you in the right direction!
bbPress is its own standalone program, similar to how WordPress is its own standalone program. It’s definitely not just a plugin to WordPress… although there are a few WP plugin forum plugins! Sounds like you’re already playing around with one of them.
Hi folks
Something that is most basic that is not quite spelled out on the home page. Is bbpress a plugin to a standard WP site, or a REPLACEMENT for a WP site? As I read the install instructions, it seemed to be a total replacement and I’ve already got my WP site up and running. I was just looking for better forum software to add than the W-P forums which don’t seem to allow image attachments…

If you look in the stock kakumei template for the word “Voices” you will see all the places where it’s commented out.
./favorites.php:18: <!-- <th><?php _e('Voices'); ?></th> -->
./favorites.php:30: <!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->
./view.php:11: <!-- <th><?php _e('Voices'); ?></th> -->
./view.php:20: <!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->
./view.php:30: <!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->
./topic.php:10:<span id="topic_voices">(<?php printf( _n( '%s voice', '%s voices', bb_get_topic_voices() ), bb_get_topic_voices() ); ?>)</span>

Hello !
I’ve found the plugin bbLaTeX, but the links don’t seem to work …
Do you know another LaTeX plugin for bbPress ( something that just replaces “[TEX]latex code[/TEX]” by an image with the URL : http://server/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?etc… ) ?
Thanks !
