How to embed video using bbcode ? What syntax?

[chrisbrocklesby]

Hi all,

I am in the process of developing a new site (which is currently in beta and not meant for the public yet…) but I have a few concerns…

Website: http://www.diyextra.com

1) Have I chosen the right forum for the project, I keep hearing bbpress is dead or it will not be developed as much when/if it becomes a plugin… Should I be using a larger scale forum package like vbulletin or phpbb ? … My thoughts on the subject originally was to go bbpress as it may tie in well with the CMS side of the site which is controlled by wordpress, I did look in to buddypress but the whole group forum thing is off putting and the fact it is not SEO friendly and the slugs (urls) are way to long… Anyone have any comments or thoughts on this would be great….

2) Plugins – Ok so I understand the forum is very basic in its core state and you add plugins to achieve options you require, but quite a number of plugins I have tried to use seem not to work, Also I have a concern that there will be a limited number of plugins developed for bbpress when/if it becomes a plugin.

3) Here is a bug I have found – maybe its just on my forum… The freshness (time/date) is incorrect a lot of the test posts I have posted on the forum are from weeks and months ago, but yet they are show up as 3 weeks… yes I have heavily modified the templet files but only the html and header/footer locations… any ideas ?

4) RSS – Also I am getting RSS error – “This page contains the following errors: error on line 10 at column 33: Entity ‘raquo’ not defined

Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.” Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions…

Many Thanks Guys,

Chris

I an new in bbpress, traying to help my greater daughter to install a forum, and we found the peacemaker bbpress theme, a very interesting 3 columns theme, just we was looking for. But it has not complete the templates files, (register.php and register-sucess.php do not exist) so is not posible a register for the users, and works like a demo site as it just says.

I found an one year old topic about in this forum, but I am not clear if it is the same problem.

I have installed bbpress (not integrated with WP) and a few aditionals themes to test, buy I like peacemaker. Somebody has a complete version?

thank you chrishajer. it works!

But I changed my mind, i prefer latest discussion on top.

What it is necessary to make, that this function operated on each page of a forum?

Hello,

Just wondering what the status is on 1.1. Is there a beta available to test?

We really need people to be able to post without creating a account. Also email notifications are pretty essential.

We are tried some of the existing plugins, but they don’t seem to cut it.

[leander8728]

On the latest post’s section, they must seen as every other post. So that the sticky’s aren’t more important then the freshness of every post.

Example:

I made a normal post on 16 march 12:11

I have made a sticky post: 16 march 12:12

Now is the sticky post the newest post in the latest post section. That is good, but when i made another topic / reaction at 16 march 12:40.

The sticky topic stay’s above the newest post. I want that the sticky topic at that moment comes under that other post (16 march 12:40). Because that post is newer then the sticky.

I hope you understand me.

[rspowers]

yoyopop,

thanks a million. i will test it out and see if i can get it to work.

[leander8728]

Yes but then i remove the sticky’s on the latest post section. Is there not any other thing to solve this problem? Because i want to show the sticky’s in the latest post section, but not alway’s on the top of that section.

But if there is not any other solution, i will use your option.

[chrishajer]

I think I posted that recently as well:

[leander8728]

Hi,

When i make a post sticky, it will be sticky to on the forum frontpage (latest post’s). But if i have more then 10 sticky’s, it will spammed the latest post’s list.

I want the following thing. I want to deactivate the sticky’s on the frontpage (latest post’s). So that they don’t come above other post’s.

I hope you understand my bad english.

Thanks,

Leander

I’m struggling with this as well. The difference is I installed a vanilla WordPress 2.9.2 and bbPress 1.02 as a test and got the integration working easily. However I have a blog I just upgraded from WordPress 2.8 to 2.9.2 and from bbPress 1.0 to 1.02 and nothing I do will make it work. I can’t see any particular difference and I’m just about to die of frustration here.

@Michael R:

Thanks, but this one is the BuddyPress 1.0 Theme, BuddyPress 1.2.x now oncludes a new default theme: http://testbp.org

@Gautam:

Yes, of course, but I want to run an external forum installation with the same design. BuddyPress has group forums, but there should be an external forum that has nothing to do with group forums.

My site: http://musikinstrumentenbau.net

External forum: http://musikinstrumentenbau.net/forum/

@wemaflo

The link that @Michael R gave is for previous version of BuddyPress. (Good Resource!)

But I see you want for the latest version 1.2+

@Gautam is right about installing bbPress within BuddyPress or if you already have one, then you can link that too (I haven’t tried that yet but it should work easily).

And if you want to run a standalone version with BuddyPress for some reason (may be because the limit that forums are within group only), then you are out of luck as nothing exists for now.

Any updates on this pal? I’ve copied the code you use on your website to test, but the icon appears on all forums and not just the category ones (I noticed this is also the case on your forums)

[kevinator]

OK, we fixed it. I’ll find out details and post later. See how it looks here: http://www.cwnp.com/forums

Our purpose in doing it is twofold:

1. privacy/security, obvious reasons

2. we just implemented the Leaderboard plugin found on bbpress.org so we can have a participation contest. Leaderboard by default shows username, which in our case is email.

Bottom line is we also require “nickname”, so we’ve used that instead.

Now, anyone know how to make Leaderboard a widget?

[chrishajer]

Replace all your existing files with the trunk download. It’s not a diff or a patch, it’s just a complete testing version of the software.

[chrishajer]

Just open the front-page.php file in your template folder and move (cut and paste) the “latest disussions” section down which will move the “main theme” section down.

It will look like this when you’re done:

http://wordpress.pastebin.com/a2y4FunW

Just copy and paste that into the file called front-page.php (replace everything that is there now.) That will put the main theme on top and latest discussions on the bottom.

I moved lines 11-45 down so the main theme comes up first.

[ipunkbali]

How do I move the forum “main theme” to the top, and “Latest discussion topic” to the bottom? thank u.

[56alifar]

Already got it, this function was already integrated in the sidebar widget. See: http://www.jahw.nl

Hi,

Is there a way to get the avatar showing in the bbPress_Latest_Discussion plugin?

Thanks for your answer…

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@deejaywoody

it just shows up the latest discussions

[johnhiler]

Yup, you can definitely repost derivative works. Oh and also – if you click the “subscribe to topic” link at the top of the page, that should give you email alerts!

I would love to help you test… just let me know! One of my main goals is to figure out how to turn off TinyMCE in mobile browsers… so my users can comment from their iPhones and Android browsers.

[BerryReview]

Sorry guys this forum really needs a notify on reply via Email function.

So GPL derivative means I can repost derivative works? Its not that crazy different from his code but hacked up quite a bit to compensate for the differences between BBPress and WP.

I will try to clean up the plugin a little bit before release since it has some serious custom code that I need ot cut out since it wont work on another site. The template is up to you to edit away but you will need to know a little bit about how BBPress templates work.

I will try to get something for you guys soon. Anybody want to volunteer to test it out?
