[Anointed]

I don’t want to hijack the thread where JJJ and I were talking about the template locations filling up my theme root, so here is a new post.

I was playing around with an idea, and before I go to far with it, I was curious what you think.

You had mentioned that this type of system was expressly forbidden by wp, due to having to search all folders for files before proceeding. That would be a nightmare, but here I am defining the folders up front, so it ‘should’ be just as fast, though I am unsure of how to bench test it.

If we could get a system in place like this, then it would clean up the theme area considerably.

I am using the same logic on a number of client sites and it works perfectly, though they are not using bbpress or buddypress. I simply use it for my own custom post-types.

example:

public function template_include( $template ) {

if ( get_query_var('post_type') == $this->post_type ) {



if ( is_single() ) {

if ( $single = locate_template( array( $this->post_type.'/single.php') ) )

return $single;

}

if ( is_paged() ) {

if ($paged = locate_template( array( $this->post_type.'/archive.php') ) )

return $paged;

}

else { // loop

return locate_template( array(

$this->post_type . '/index.php',

$this->post_type . '.php',

'index.php'

));

}



}

return $template;

}

This would completely change the structure of bbpress template names, but could potentially allow me to store everything inside 3 folders ‘forums/topics/replies’.

I’m sure there would be much more to it than that….

What do you think of this type of approach?

*right now it is quite generic and would effect all custom post_types, which would not be good. Changing to be bbpress specific would prob just be a matter of defining types in the array vs. all

I’m really asking because even though I know I could get this to work, I am quite curious how this would end up effecting buddypress when combined with bbpress.

Would a system like this be a deal breaker?

Good idea or bad?

John,

Question (not advance user so this might not be the smartest question) –

I have a standard wordpress install (just added bbpress) and using a child theme, based on what you wrote above (focusing on option 2), which files and/or folders should I copy into which folder?

bbp-twentyten into themes?

some files into my current child theme?

Another option?

Thanks in advanced and keep up the amazing work.

Is there a way to apply the Human Test plugin to the bbpress plugin?

Thanks.

[kai920]

Yes, that makes sense thanks

So, how do I make sure the first posts are ‘cached properly’? I ran another test import and on the screen, the feedback the plugin importer gave was:

Added topic #2559 (LG's iPhone - the KS20) as topic #1374 with 1 replies.

Is ‘1 reply’ same as ‘1 post’ (and no replies), or does it mean it had 1 reply to the original post?

edit: this line isn’t returning anything (i.e. $first_post is empty)

$first_post = bb_get_first_post( $topic->topic_id );

edit2: turns out, there IS something wrong with my bb_posts table… the post_position column is all 0! Is there a way to repair this?

I did not have the plugin active. All is running fine now. More testing tomorrow. Looks great so far!

I am not tech savvy by any means, we had a programmer develop a WP based site about a year ago, we want to incorporate a bbpress blog into this, so I created a new test site so I didn’t botch it (thank god because I DID botch it).

The test site is http://www.hersheyicecream.com/forum

I installed bbpress (www.hersheyicecream.com/forum/bbpress) and went through the integration process because I want it to pull from my WP user listing, unfortunately right after I did this all hell broke loose.

At this point I am not only showing up on the forum I created as Anonymous Unregistered, it also will not allow me to retrieve my password saying no user exists, and I have NO other users. It also will not allow me to log in to my site http://www.hersheyicecream.com/forum, instead it redirects me (not sure how) to my actual site http://www.hersheyicecream.com/dealers…

I have no way to access my “.com/forum” WP site and no way to log in to my “.com/forum/bbpress” forum.

HELP!

I have tested imported with latest bbPress plugin version, but after import, counts of replies and topics for all forums are incorrect. If a forum has 0 topics, count shows 0, but if a topic has more than 1 it always shows 1. I checked in postmeta table, and the wrong counts are written there.

@JJJ: Thanks.. I’ve created a bug for the missing option to choose a Hidden or Private forum as parent. And after moving the language files to a subfolder named bbpress the translation worked. I’m trying to figure out the importer problem, to make a good bug report, and as far I can see you’ve already fixed problems that I made quick-fixes for (the same way I did it).

So the problem now, is that I can’t run the importer at all (returning the blank “content” after specifying the path. I’m looking into it, and testing to see if I can figures out what’s going on..

I have a new and simple questions, which might be a bug:

* Shouldn’t it be possible to choose either users og user roles of which are able to view hidden and private forums? As far as I can see, Administrators are the only one to view these, and no changes can be made.

[Daniel Juhl]

I’m working on a danish translation of bbPress, and is about half way through, but would like to test if the terms are used correctly in context. But for some reason I can’t make it use my .po file. I’ve copied both the .po and .mo to the /wp-content/languages/ folder, and the files are named: bbpress-da_DK.po/.mo

What is wrong?

[Daniel Juhl]

@JJJ: Any change, you could take a quick look at my questions? As I would love to move on testing tomorrow..

2.0 – the OP was talking about the latest version of the plugin. 1.0 is a standalone, not a plugin.

Hi there !

I already installed the latest version of BB and WP and the forum works.

But my questions is, how do include this forum as “page” or “article” in WordPress and the mainmenu ?

Sorry if im just blind, i searched the whole site and can`t find a step by step solution for it.

I tried to include it with WP plugin “include me” wich don`t seem to work.

Can someone tell me please where i can find it or give me a hint ?!

Thank you in advance, BBpress seems to be the forum for wich im searching for a long time. And sorry for english, i now it`s not that good.

i added the wordpress -bb plugin too and enabled it.

Seems everything fine, but still my question is:

how to include the forum into a page or a articel of WP like its here at your site. I don`t check it.

Greetings

I’ve just found an old 1.03 bbpress install with a ton of spam posts and spam tags. I don’t want to start over completely. I suppose going thru phpMyAdmin directly would be fastest, unless the 2.0 beta has new admin options in the backend.

To remove unwanted posts, I can just run a query for all posts created after a certain date in the bb_posts table.

How do I remove tags? I’m not sure what the relationship between bb_terms, bb_term_relationships, and bb_term_taxonomy are.

Are there other tables I need to look at where SPAM might have gotten in?

After I get rid of all the SPAM I’ll be looking to move to 2.0 asap

Just installed the latest version of the bbPress plugin.

Activated the default twentyten child theme.

I can see Settings -> Forums, but I can’t find the admin screen to create and manage forums.

I’m using WordPress 3.2-beta with no other plugins installed.

Halp?

Thanks for the great work so far.

As a theme author, I’m currently testing the integration of the different templates inside my own themes.

Can you give me a hint where i can overwrite the existing template files and if it’s possible to store these specific templates in a own sub-directory? E.g.

my-theme/

my-theme/style.css

my-theme/index.php

my-theme/[...]

my-theme/bbpress/

my-theme/bbpress/single-forum.php

my-theme/bbpress/[...]

I’ve copied the template files from your “bbp-twentyten” theme to my own theme and added add_theme_support('bbpress') to the functions.php. The forum is working with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index], but the new templates aren’t loaded.

[zeaks]

I’m trying out the latest version of the BBpress plugin using a basic Twenty Ten child theme. Is there any way to have the forum display using the one column template?

I updated some of the verbiage and changed a few of the behaviors of the importer from bbS2P to being in core. It needs some heavy testing. This kind of data migration is not something that should be taken lightly, so let’s get it polished up for when 2.0 goes gold.

bbPress 2.0 beta 1 is now available in WordPress extend for public testing.

[danaskallman]

I am wondering what the file name for a single-posttype.php is for the bbpress plugin. I am testing it and would like to have add it’s own template. And is there a template that already exists I could add to them file?

Thanks!

[John James Jacoby]

First pass at RSS2 feeds is now in the plugin. Surprisingly, not as easy as I thought they were going to be, so be sure to test these. They are accompanied by 2 new settings options to control the per page count of their RSS feeds.

Starting to run out of room in the theme to put links to feeds, so still working that out. Until then you can access topic/reply feeds by appending “/feed” or “/feed?type=reply” to single topics and forums.

1. Change the forums base to something else. I am running it perfectly fine over at testbp.org by changing the base to ‘discussion’

2. The reason for the double ‘forum’ is because your root slug is ‘forum’ and the forum slug is ‘forum’ and you’re choosing to include the root slug.

3. Don’t remove the forum slug.

Widgets should work anywhere you have a widgetable area. Since your theme is mostly custom, you’ll want to research how widgets work, insert your sidebar, etc…
