Yes, in my case user statuses were preserved. I have done just basic testing so far but things are looking good for me and soon I’ll be doing it on the live site.

bbPress 0.9 can still be fastest if setup correctly.

I assure you I have more plugins running at once than virtually anyone.

And that webwait site is a very poor way of benchmarking things.

Your distance to each site also affects the load time

(especially since you are far overseas to continental USA).

For the people who can’t login. Here are the steps i have taken to make it work:

**

BBpress Part

**

all php files of bbpress

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

to

<?php get_header(); ?>

and

<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

to

<?php get_footer(); ?>

:: bb-config.php::

add just before the ?> ending tag:

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-config.php’);

}

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-blog-header.php’);

}

**

WordPress Part

**

::wp-blog-header.php::

at the top add

<?php global $forumpage;

$forumpage = TRUE; ?>

This should at least make the login part work and replace the header + footer and in some cases (depanding on your WP-Theme??) some css

http://test2.cell-systems.net/ <- thats the testing site. It;s 01:05 here now and I need to get into my bed. I hope this at least helps a bit as it seems most people who have it working 100% don’t want to share??>>

what do you say?

i’ve installed Viscacha and was pretty surprised how fast it was and all important plugins are already preinstalled.

i remember when bbpress was the fastest. Good old times.

[nickaster]

Hey, that’s pretty cool. I hadn’t been using the plugin, but I’ve added it and it works. Trouble is, that word “[sticky]” is still there, and so is everything else. Where would I look to get rid of [sticky] and the other stuff you can see here?

I realize the test.png icon is CSS, but some of the rest isn’t….

Hi John:

I downloaded from this website, the following page:

https://bbpress.org/download/

I downloaded the “Latest 1.0 zip” version….

Please advise,

A.

Here’s a list of bbPress professionals, although I don’t know how many of them have done development:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-professionals-advertise-in-this-topic

The most prolific developers are _ck_ and Nightgunner5.

Nightgunner5 has written 9 plugins that I’m aware of (I use two of them, and they are excellent):

https://bbpress.org/plugins/profile/nightgunner5

_ck_ is by far the most prolific developer, with 60 plugins:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/profile/_ck_

But according to that link above on bbshowcase (her site), she’s not available right now. If you have a larger budget though, it might be worth dropping her a line and seeing if she’s open to it.

You might also try Ivan here:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/

If there are active plugin developers that I’ve missed, please let cupra know in the comments!

Good luck! And if you’re open to contributing any custom plugins to the plugin section when you’re done, that’d be great! I’d be glad to help test the plugin…

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

This might be a cleaner solution

<?php

switch ( $topic->forum_id ) { // Ignore these forums

case 29:

case 30:

case 18:

case 15:

case 4:

continue 2;

}

?>

or for including only certain forums

switch ( $topic->forum_id ) { // Include only these forums

case 29:

case 30:

case 18:

case 15:

case 4:

break;

default:

continue 2;

}

?>

but using that if statement, you need to change the line

<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 29 && $topic->forum_id != 30 && $topic->forum_id != 18 && $topic->forum_id != 15 && $topic->forum_id != 4 )

and you can find the forum ID from looking at its Edit URL in the admin panel (under Forums)

[Process of Illumination]

Hi Chandersbs,

i am sorry i didnt get what i should do: should i edit only this part

{ //exclude forums here ?>

and fill it with the id of the forum i want to exclude?

Or should i change the ids in the following line? I only have 1 forum to exclude, and its “position” is 4, does that mean that its id is 4 as well?

<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 29 && $topic->forum_id != 30 && $topic->forum_id != 18 && $topic->forum_id != 15 && $topic->forum_id != 4 )

Thanks!

The Process

[ZoiX]

johnhiler, you’re right!

Sorry, but I have not read.

I have commented this line too, after add the <div>:

<?php bb_latest_topics_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”nav”>’, ‘after’ => ‘</div>’ ) ); ?>

Thank you, again.

A last question, (I’m sorry if I should open a new thread for this): Do you know why in Tools options the checkboxes appear without check after save :S

I don’t know, maybe is just for me, but, in local I have the same problem too. Or maybe is in all instalations.

[johnhiler]

Are you using the frontpage topics plugin?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/

The plugin used to have the exact problem you mentioned, but the latest version of the plugin fixed it right up!

[chandersbs]

I’m using this code:

<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 29 && $topic->forum_id != 30 && $topic->forum_id != 18 && $topic->forum_id != 15 && $topic->forum_id != 4 ) { //exclude forums here ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

If you’re using the Kakumei theme, replace this with that:

<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

Just change the id’s

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

Does anybody have an idea how to implement a plugin, which reacts upon a click on a ‘+’ or ‘-‘ sign within (at the end of) a category header within a forum list (say on frontpage) to display or hide the respective forums listed below the category header?

Eventually extending _ck_’s solution(s):

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hiding-subforms-on-your-home-page

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-exclude-specific-forum-topics-from-front-page-latest#post-9018

with a JavaScript?

[Process of Illumination]

Hello,

how would it be possible to exclude posts from a certain forum in the “latest discussions” section?

Like in this forum in your “latest discussions” you get posts from every forum except for “pimp your press”.

I did use the search, but i only found how to hide the category, and not how to prevent “lates discussions” from collecting posts from a certain category. Probably my English isnt good anough and miss the right search keyword.

Thanks for your advices… and patience.

the Process

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

Solution found – bb_user_nicename_sanitize()– needs peer review because of possible side-effects (UTF8 etc.)

<span><?php if ( 1 < get_topic_posts() ) : ?>

<?php printf(__('- <a href="%1$s">Latest reply</a> from '),attribute_escape( get_topic_last_post_link()) ) ?>

<a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>profile.php?id=<?php echo (bb_user_nicename_sanitize(get_topic_last_poster(),50)); ?>"><?php echo get_topic_last_poster(); ?></a>



<?php endif; ?>

</span>

PS: A look into one’s database via phpadmin produces the right insights …

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

get_user_profile_link( $topic->topic_poster ), rather than all that sanitize/echo stuff. Can’t check it 100% since my test server is dead, but that should be right I think.

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

The code developed so far (resembling the buddyPress Forum experience):

...

<span id="topic_posts"><?php topic_posts_link(); ?>, </span>

<span id="topic_voices"><?php printf( '%s voices', bb_get_topic_voices() ); ?></span>

<span><?php if ( 1 < get_topic_posts() ) : ?>

<?php printf(__('- <a href="%1$s">Latest reply</a> from '),attribute_escape( get_topic_last_post_link()) ) ?>

<a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>profile.php?id=<?php echo (sanitize_user(get_topic_last_poster(),true)); ?>"><?php echo get_topic_last_poster(); ?></a>



<?php endif; ?>

</span>

does only generate an “User not found.” error with:

..../profile.php?id=Test%20User

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

How can I complete the from part with a clickable link to the profile of the latest poster?

34 posts, 2 voices - Latest reply from ...

The user name ist Test User – it does contain a space.

[johnhiler]

Oh no… please don’t test it unless you are on 0.8.x!!

It’s definitely not recommended for 0.9 or 1.0… I just linked to it so you could check out the code, in the event that you were interested in adapting it to support more recent bbPress versions!

[Fernando Tellado]

Thank you John, I’ll test it

The really strange thing is, the Dashboard shows 18 forums (which is the correct number), but bb-admin/forums.php just won’t display them.

I suppose I can try disabling all plugins, and see if forums.php then displays the forums properly?

[InvTrdr]

I did not even see the code in my front-page.php file of the theme. Below is the code. Can I try to add it to it to play around with the heat map?

Thanks.

That is it. In this link http://invictatrader.com/bbpress/tags/ you see there a total of 54 tags so far on the big test box on the left. On the right only a maximum of 40 are displayed. How do I change the number of tags to be shown in the box on the right? Like say just 20 or 30 or even 50 if need arises.

Thank you.

[arpowers]

Right, I can turn them back on if you would like; and it would help.

I was doing a little compatibility testing last night, and to get it working in IE I had to remove the permalinks…
