I’ll be looking at this later on, but initial tests seem to indicate it isn’t working.

[John James Jacoby]

@citizenkeith: Should be working? Worth testing though.

[citizenkeith]

Using Rich’s test site, I enabled email notification for certain threads, but haven’t seen a single notification. Is that not working yet?

[Jaja..]

I have a little problem and i can’t find how to fix it.

I have installed bbPress 1.0 on the same database of my wp-install (latest)

And now everything look like it’s okay but when i sign in as a admin on my wp site and than jump to my bbPress forum i still see i’m logged-in as a admin but when i try to go to my bb-admin.php file (on the site) it doesn’t load this page.. (it only refreshes the bbPress forum homepage)

I can’t get into my bbPress dashboard.

But when i go back to my wp -site and log-off and switch back to my bbPress forum and log-on everything is fine. and i can use both admin-dashboards.

What can be this problem?

Hello,

I’, working hard to put my forum working fine.

I have some questions that i hope you can help me.

The /my-plugin folder goes where? inside the /plugin folder?

What avatar plugin do you recommend for bbpress 1.02? i have tested the avatar plugins recommended where but don’t work in my site:(

Thank you

Vítor

[Commentguerir]

Thank’s JJJ, i have add some new tickets…

We will need quickly converter (bbpress stand-alone version –> bbpress plugin) that we can test realy the plugin on our forums, because on demo site we can’t test realy the plugin without activity (administrate topics, users, editing ..etc)

Hey all –

I’m posting this in here….but feel free to move to a more appropriate forum category if need be. I’m also new and haven’t read much of anything in here to get a feel for the community and all, so I apologize for the lack of foreplay.

I own http://www.easyloungin.com/ that is a (weak) WP + (strong) bb combo. By weak I mean that we could do and are planning on doing a much better job with pushing out content and reviews by a regularly contributing few dozen community members for a new WP front page. The singletrackworld.com that was #1 on the October 2010 Top 100 list is a good example of where we’d like to head. For something within the snowboard industry as a benchmark I would reference yobeat.com. A new theme that I already have on a test server is http://www.wpzoom.com/demo/yamidoo/.

And by strong I mean that I just saw that our relatively small member base of less than a couple thousand at this point had the 15th most posts of all the bbpress forums out there on the October showcase thing. Who know that snowboarders were so verbose?? Well, even though it’s only been in existence for 15 months or so, the core of the forums community members migrated over en masse at once from Burton Snowboards’ message board infamously referred to as the BMB. So the pump was more than primed in this case.

Burton lost the BMB because they didn’t engage what was the dominant message board community dating back to the late 90’s. Then in August of 2009 they just announced that they were no longer going to host a message board and instead had a new social / facebook style community. A month later they re-hooked up the forums called the BMB to their new http://burton.kontain.com/, but the exodus had already occurred.

I was a member of the BMB, and being a co-owner of a ski and snowboard shop in Lake Tahoe, I saw lots of opportunities with creating an insta-community that pumps out a ton of raw, honest, irreverent, yet extremely relevant content to the core snowboard user. So we threw together easyloungin.

But then I had lots of health issues in the last year, and really for about 8 months up until a couple ago I’ve been absent. I’ve got a solid crew of employees, of course, who work for my “day job”, but the truth is that this easyloungin has just taken a backseat up till now.

Well my team wants to slick it up like I already said, however, they’re recommending migrating to buddypress and completely leaving the bbpress environment. I get the groups and the integration that my web guys are showing me with buddypress, but to me I haven’t seen a site that still gives me the “old fashioned” message board feel and use that my community likes.

Again, I know very little of this community – and no I didn’t use the search bar – so if there are some good pre-canned answers / threads that have dealt with extremely similar instances, then please direct me there.

If you’re still reading now – and to make a long story short – then maybe you could help answer why I should resist moving to buddypress and stay with bbpress?

[r-a-y]

Is the /forums/forum/ | /forums/topic/ slug changeable via a define?

Btw, awesome job so far, JJJ!

Have to take the bbPress plugin out for a test drive soon!

[Rich Pedley]

ahh that’s a thought, I’m running 3.1 as well… I’ll test in 3.0.2

[bhale]

Nope, latest trunk in a test WP 3.1 install on my webserver.

/user/admin works directly in the bbp-twentyten theme, but the links on topics are still off of /blog/{/user/admin} for me.

[John James Jacoby]

Just tested this with W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache, and both seem to respond really, really well to the bbPress plugin. W3 Total Cache chops off a bunch of queries and increases load times in all the same ways it does for normal WordPress blog posts and pages, and does a great job of keeping up with post_meta changes when new topics and replies happen.

If you want to optimize your bbPress plugin for WordPress installation, I’d recommend starting with either of those.

[John James Jacoby]

First pass at user profiles and front-end user profile editing is now in the plugin branch. Props GautamGupta for the original patch as part of one of his Google Code-in tasks.

Please test this extensively as it was a huge changeset. You may need to deactivate/activate bbPress, and/or view your permalinks and save them to force a flush. This will not be required in the future.

r2688 brings about a few new $bbp variables; current_user and displayed_user. Those of you familiar with BuddyPress will understand how these work. Also the 3 template loop globals ($bbp_forum_template, $bbp_topic_template, and $bbp_reply_template) are now objects attached to the main $bbp global, renamed to forum_query, topic_query, and reply_query.

I think I’ve created a quite strong code for the RSS. It allows plugins to apply their filters (example: smilies!!!). It fixes problems with double apersand encoding and ” ” not working well with UTF-8. It also fixes the date of items which is not valid if you use localization, even if the options array sets “false” on “localize”.

Feel free to try the code for yourself, it works with stock bbPress 1.0.2. You JUST need to put this content in your rss2.php (check the theme folder).

<?php

header( 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8' );

echo '<' . '?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?' . '>' . "n";

bb_generator( 'comment' );



function datefix($buffer) {

/*

* fix della data in modo da tenerla in inglese, rispettando

* le specifiche dei feed RSS

*/

return gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s +0000', $buffer);

}



function callback($buffer)

{

/*

* sistema il codice rimuovendo la doppia codifica di "&" e

* rimuove il carattere "&nbsp;" che crea problemi con UTF-8

* in questo modo ho il testo del post dopo che i plugin (tipo

* le faccine) hanno applicato le loro modifiche html e ritorno

* il codice html senza entities ma in forma pura

*/



$single = str_replace("&", "&", $buffer);

$spaced = str_replace("&nbsp;", " ", $single);

return html_entity_decode($spaced);

}

Sorry for comments in italian.

BTW @ yoyopop, I don’t remember in which topic, but I read on this forum that the problem is related to some plugins having extra spaces in their code before the opening “<?php” tag. Check it…

[AngelicLies]

I HAVE the latest version of BBPress…And I don’t understand how to fix the problem. So, none of you have helped so far.

[chrishajer]

The solution in this post will resolve your problem.

Tons of Depreciated Errors

It involves editing a bbPress file called bb-load.php.

The error is because your host is using a very new version of PHP (5.3.2) and the way bbPress is doing this has been “deprecated” (made obsolete) in the new version of PHP. Everything will still work, but in the future PHP may change and these functions will error out.

The latest trunk version of bbPress also includes a fix for this.

If you can specify a PHP version lower than 5.3, like 5.2.something, that will hide the errors as well.

Okay, i have been reading this forum for a few hours now and i need somebody to tell me what’s best.

First, i have installed bbPress once before, a few months ago to give it a try and see if it was something for me because i’m a fan of the WordPress system and it’s plugins.

It worked very good i had no problems because i just needed some basic plugins nothing fancy, but it was only a testing install and never got public before i deleted it.

But now i need to get things going and start building for some project.

I have this project where 2 different game-based sites have to match each other and become one, it’s a game-blog and game-forum based site so thats why i was first thinking of a WordPress site along with a bbPress forum. Very simple and deep integrated in each other to keep both working together.

But when i read this support forum it makes me turn around a few times and not knowing what to do best. Should i go for the bbPress (standalone) version or should i wait for the bbPress WordPress plugin.. I don’t know how things are working out on that side but it feels like this plugin take forever,, No i don’t wanna be rude to all people working on it, (only respect) but is there a time-period set for this plugin to be released?

And if there is one, will it become Beta first and after 2 or 3 years a final and stable product?

What will happen to people (forums) using the bbPress standalone version? will there be a settings option so we could update or upgrade our standalone version to the WordPress plugin version without losing the forum-data?

Or should we start all over again with a fresh clean install?

And yes, i’m already thinking of switching to the plugin based bbPress because i think the standalone version will not be supported and looked after when the plugin version goes live.

Also something i would like to know, i’ve also read a few spam topics with people having trouble catching spam bots..

Is this a regular thing? Because it’s bbPress, it attach spam bots like every clean installed WordPress site will have a spam message in 5 days without doing anything on the site..

I don’t mind if there is something to catch those gangsters but if bbPress has some kind of “weak” (spam) based code i will not like the forum idea for my site.

Don’t get me wrong, i don’t mind to delete a spam message once in a while but if i daily need to delete 25 spam messages while i have running a spam-catch plugin it will not make me very happy..

So could anybody tell me what to do?

I like the bbPress system because it’s “easy” to customize and you’re not working in all the same community themes like you see on most forums..

[CorpCommander]

This is a weird one. I started with bbPress as a stand alone installation. I then did an integration with WordPress. The main effect of that was it wiped out my users. OK, not terrible, there were only a few. However I noticed that no plugins seem to work. I installed Human Test and I can see it in the wordpress plugins folder. It is activated but there is no change to the registration page.

Any idea what might be wrong?

[John James Jacoby]

Just pushed an update through that is a solid first pass at forum and topic freshness. Some testing would be awesome.

Things @todo on this front: sub-forum tree topic/reply walking, better hierarchical reply support (topic walker), and go get a burrito (dinner)

[John James Jacoby]

Just pushed an update through that will fix the topic freshness order when creating new topics and replying to existing ones. This fix changes the way topics are pulled from the DB, and as a result is not backwards compatible with previous versions of the plugin. (Oh the dangers of beta testing.)

This is however the way it will work going forward, so you won’t need to worry about going through this again.

Forum counts and freshness links are coming next.

[Rich Pedley]

It’s fairly easy to do

check the style.css in the included twentyten child theme and you’ll see this:

/**

* Theme Name: bbPress - Twenty Ten

* Theme URI: http://bbpress.org

* Description: Adds bbPress forums to Twenty Ten theme

* Author: The bbPress Community

* Version: 0.1

* Template: twentyten

* Tags: bbpress, black, blue, white, two-columns, fixed-width, custom-header, custom-background, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style

*/

The template denotes another available theme that you are making this the child of. If you include the main style sheet, you don’t need to re-reference everything. eg. @import url("../twentyten/style.css");

So create a new theme directory by including that, and copy all the other files(ie not style.css) from plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten (not forgetting to rename the Theme name)

However you might want to copy in the default style, this start’s with:

/* bbPress Style

*/

Then you need to check where the get_header(), get_sidebar() & get_footer() are in your parent theme.

If they are in this order:

get_header();

/* Content */

get_sidebar();

get_footer();

you don’t have to do anything.

However if they are in a different order you may need to adjust, currently they reside in the following files:

page-bbp_form.php

author.php

taxonomy-bbp_topic.php

single-bbp_topic.php

single-bbp_reply.php

single-bbp_forum.php

page-bbp_topics.php

page-bbp_front.php

and I think that is all that’s needed! (untested though)

[timgedny]

I’ve just updated my WordPress blog from version 2.0 to 3.0.1 and subsequently upgraded BBPress from version 0.8.3 to the latest release (1.0.2?). However, now all the users of the forum are displaying as inactive on the front end despite the fact that they have a ‘member’ role when viewed through the admin panel.

I suspect this is related to the fact that the users are shared between WordPress and BBPress – in WordPress they have no role.

The problem is that there are 45000 subscribers so to change these manually will take quite some time. I think I’m also right in saying that users in WordPress with no role don’t have any meta values so I’m not sure this can be addressed by finding and replacing anything in the database.

Does anyone have any ideas? I really don’t want to have to assign these users roles by going through 30 at a time in the WordPress admin screens!

Thanks in advance for your help.
