@Gautam 15? Simply brilliant! If only I could breath code like you do.

Unfortunately, I just break, test and report things and that’s all.

[erick_paper]

OK. Happy to test. How do I contact you?

[Snat]

I am still in the finishing stages of finishing mine up and always do need testing databases to make sure it works fine.

Do contact me if you would like to help me test it as I would like to test the converter on just more then my original IP.Board and default installations.

Thanks for the update, John and Gautam!

As I am anxious to convert my existing stand-alone bbPress installation to the new WP-plugin version, I expect to start testing (and porting over my existing bbPress Theme) once the Plugin hits beta.

I’m curious about template tags, functions, and documentation. Are the existing template tags and functions from the stand-alone version used in the Plugin version, or have you developed all-new tags/functions?

Also, as I remember, part of the biggest problem with the stand-alone version was the lack of documentation. So (in all my free time…) I’ll do what I can to pitch in for documentation with the Plugin version.

As a sidenote to the original topic! …

Rich Pedley: @Mark – test again

Thanks for that Rich, you can see I’m having a little nose around, and thanks for the offer Gautam — Even started talking to myself, and trying out other stuff too!

Just DM me your email id and I’ll mail you your user/pass of my test forums.

My rule regarding trac vs forums, is that the forums are traditionally for support and confirmation of an issue occuring, and the trac is for when bugs appear that can be duplicated and/or you have a suggested code change. You can even drop enhancement requests in the trac if you have a really neat idea, even better if you have a patch to match it.

Core developers live and breathe by the trac. If it isn’t in there, it doesn’t exist. It’s our diary of development, and without it our lives would be much more difficult. The trac is less social, and more developer speak. The forums tend to be a little more relaxed.

With WordPress 3.1 almost in its third release candidate, we can expect it to ship really, really soon. That said, it makes sense to drop 3.0 support and focus on 3.1. I’ve made sure we’ve stayed compatible with 3.0 this entire time, but it’s time to focus on the version of WP that the bbPress plugin will see the most use on.

Thanks to everyone that’s been testing on 3.0 installations. If you *really* want this to be 3.0 compatible, definitely open trac tickets and contribute patches to keep that support alive.

[Chris Cash]

Is there a link to download for testing?

[Rich Pedley]

just checked out the latest revision, installed locally and I seem to be missing the:

Edit | Trash | Close | Spam | Sticky | Move

against topics, I’m just seeing Edit | Trash

is this a bug? Or have they been removed intentionally?

I was reading a reply to my own thread when I noticed it said on the left:

Started 10 hours ago by hennyjack

“hennyjack” hadn’t even posted in the thread. I was going to report this, but then I thought, “why bother? It’s not the old bbP standalone we should be worrying about anyhow.”

I’ve tested bbPress and it can definitely talk the talk, but of course I can’t tell for sure if it can walk the walk on a high profile site such as bbpress.org. That said, I think this is as good a time as any to start discussing when the bbPress community should start “eating their own dog food”.

Maybe a good topic for the next weekly meeting?

The recent WordPress security upgrade (regarding kses) wasn’t 4 hours from initial contact to release, but you’re right to say that having more eyes and developers did help to expedite the testing.

Needless to say I wasn’t personally accessible to work on this until I was back from holiday, so it is me dropping that ball and not being prepared. I’ll take that responsibility even if no one expects me to.

Honestly, the reminders get a little repetitive, but only because I get them from a few different places. Open source development is kinda like having 1,000 bosses, but I’m used to it and take pride in having people be worried about the state of things.

I’ve got pretty thick skin and don’t take things personally. So, no worries.

Another personal hurdle was learning exactly what the procedure is to actually push out a release of bbPress. Having never needed to do it yet, and having the only person who has in the past few years (Sam) not immediately at my disposal, it took a few days to get me setup and ready to be able to do it.

The trunk and 1.0 branches are fixed. The 1.0 branch is ready for a release. I am going to do the 0.9 branch tonight, do some testing, make my first deployments, and look forward to things hopefully going smoothly for releases tomorrow or this weekend.

I’m not new to bbPress, but I am new to the logistics. Don’t fret, I’m a fast learner.

The trunk is technically 1.1, so both the 1.0 branch and 0.9 branches also need fixes, which means they both need testing. There is also another critical bug that’s cropped up that I’m working on currently, to get them both in under the same security releases.

[hbalagh]

have the latest bbpress and wanted to know how to limit the display of the thread titles so it will be something like this

this is a test of a thread title an…

[Willabee]

Use wordpress function query_posts().

Then give it the parameters of author_name and post_type.

@ Gautam/JJJ

Any major updates planned soon? Want to launch a site with this plugin end of the month, so would like it if I can build in the latest and greatest. Keep it up. ^^

norcalmilsim.com/forum

I have login synchronized with WP and bbPress.

The only option I have as Admin / Keymaster or my account McGee / Administrator is to ‘Add New’ in the ‘Latest Discussions’ topic section.

I do get a new window and can enter a title and content, but can’t select one of the two forum for the topic. When I click ‘Send Post’ the next page says ‘This topic has been closed’ every time.

There are no other options to add, rely or create anything new.

All I have been able to do is edit a post as the Admin.

I’ve ported over the changes to KSES and clean_url into a branch in the BackPress repo ready for bbPress 1.0.x branch work.

If anyone has cycles to review and test would be great

I started from scratch and I’m trying to add it to the menu

Ok, here are the steps to test the plugin:

1. Upload the plugin folder to the wp-content/plugins directory & activate it.
2. Go to Appearance -> Themes & activate the bbPress TwentyTen theme.
3. If you’re using permalinks, go to Settings -> Permalinks and click the save button.
4. Go to Pages -> Add new & select bbPress - Forum index in the template selection in the right side, give the page title Forums or anything and press publish. You can repeat the step to add pages like add new topic, topic index page etc.
5. Go to Appearance -> Menu if you want to add those pages to the menu for easy navigation.
6. Go to Forums -> Add new & write a forum title, description and press publish.
7. Now go to your blog’s home page or that forum you created or directly here – http://www.example.com/bbtest/forums
8. If you go to that /forums url, hopefully you’d see the forum listed which you just created and the new topic form.
9. Browse, test & report bugs
