I’m wondering if I can use BBpress as a “blog” with the latest “articles” showing up as the “Latest posts” do here in BBpress.

So can I set up BBpress set to have a Navigation bar along the top with typical “About us” pages, “How you can help”, etc? (The usual top 5 to 10 pages you have on blog or introduction to your website etc). Any other ideas?

Then everything else can just be in the forums.

Also, because BBpress is a VERY stripped back forum with lots of plugins, does the plugin for email notifying still work? (Getting an email any time someone replies). Can I set ALL users to getting that?

Can I as the Admin set the “Tags/categories” that posters can then select from?

Is there an auto-backup plugin of some sort? (I hate database stuff).

What else do I need to install to use BBpress as my main community portal / blog (without wordpress).

Thank you. This looks like exactly what I need. And you better believe I will try it first on a test site and go slowly.

I’d be lazy and take something like Tom (db)’s WPNews and flip it around

For RSS, you can google around for solutions. I’m not sure there are any bb specific ones.

Thanks for the reply, Ipstenu. Can you please explain what changes I’d need to make and what I would need to insert into my templates in order to pull the ‘comments’ RSS feed into my sidebar?

Next question

If i had a special “dedicated” server only for MySQL is 256MB Ram is enough for my forum??

(200k topics, 100users online in one moment, 12k all users)

Sorry for this questions, but i cant test it.

I’ve discovered that several of my plugins that have admin menus will not be able to access the admin menu in bbPress 0.9.0.7 and 1.0.3 because of the new admin menu security lockdown that was merged from WordPress 2.8.3 (essentially I didn’t go through the API for bbPress 0.8 compatibility).

I’ve now fixed what I can find but there will be other plugins with the same problem.

I highly recommend people learn how to install bbPress (and wordpress) via SVN, it makes life incredibly easy. You can switch between bbPress versions in a heartbeat, test new betas or jump back to the previous version effortlessly.

See this topic for more info:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/svn-procedure-for-checking-out-bbpress

and my note at the end on how to install SVN as a simple client instead of the whole darn thing.

A quick glance looks like Sam has ported the fast recount queries into 1.0 as well.

Note that not all of the recount functions are optimized yet but a few are vastly improved.

I have installed the latest wp and bbpress with cookie integration enabled. But it seems not working. If log in from wp, bbpress account is automatically logged out. Same thing the other way around. What could be wrong? I believe I set all the keys correctly.

[deadlyhifi]

no fast recount on the 1.0?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Wait, just your latest posts in BB in your bb-sidebar?

You could port ’em in via RSS or make a function to call your database and pull in the latest posts.

Because of mysql replication, using the mysql cache is probably impossible on wp.com

Once you move beyond a single mysql server, things get complicated fast.

But that’s specifically the environment memcache was written for, not single server systems.

(by the way, how large is the wp.com memcache pool? I bet it’s massive)

However I find the MySQL cache has not been turned on for many VPS/dedicated servers. That’s a performance showstopper and makes a huge difference when the same queries are being done over and over on a typical bbPress install. A PHP opcode cache is the next largest performance improvement.

Here is the typical breakdown for MySQL vs Memcached performance:

Cache Type 	 Cache Gets/sec  (higher is better)

Array Cache  		365000              (this is local memory, fastest possible)

APC Cache 	 	98000                        (this is common memory via apc/eaccelertor/xcache)

File Cache  		27000                        (this is using the local disk cache)

Memcached Cache (TCP/IP) 	12200     <<<<====---

MySQL Query Cache (TCP/IP) 	 9900

MySQL Query Cache (Unix Socket)  13500    <<<<===---   (local mysql server, with cache)

Selecting from table (TCP/IP)	 5100             (remote mysql server, no cache)

Selecting from table (Unix Socket)  7400     (local mysql server, no cache)

As crackpixels said, he meant to have a list of “latest replies for topics.”

I hope we won’t be needing a WP install to make this plugin work.

[Sam Bauers]

This is coming out tomorrow, with or without feedback.

[Sam Bauers]

“bbPress Live” plugin used to do this before WordPress 2.8 broke it. It’s on my todo list to fix it.

[chandersbs]

This would be a nice feature.

Can I get some help for this?

What am I not seeing here?

[anandasama]

I already know how to filter out subforums, but what I want (Weird request i know) is to filter out the posts who have a parent forum in the Latest Discussions.

I also wonder if there is anyone who succeeded in making the topic icons plugin able to show a “default” icon for topics.

[johnhiler]

You probably want to disable all your new plugins, and activate/test them one at a time. When things stop working, that’s your problematic plugin.

[chrishajer]

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/threaded-posts/

Not sure if that still works but that’s the only plugin I know of.

And threaded comments are built in to the latest version of WordPress, aren’t they? What does the plugin do?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I didn’t get what are you trying to do? Can you explain further?

[chandersbs]

I haven’t been here for a while. Will try it for sure and give feedback.

[anandasama]

Yes. I used that. But the plugin have a problem. I can only show 1 youtube video per post. Anyone had the same experience?

Latest news:

I made a kind of Latest Featured Articles widget on the front website.

– I found a very neat CSS/Jquery snippet that i hooked up with the wordpress loop, added a plugin called

“custom-field-images” so I can add image metatags on my blog posts, and then echoing the url to the featured article widget.

The result is an image with some transparent hovering div over with headlines and excerpt + a list of the latest blog posts that are powered by Jquery to change the main image and text om click.

[anandasama]

I am using the Topic Icons plugin and it works great! However I’d like to display a “Default” Icon as a fallback if the Topic Icon plugin doesn’t do it for me.

Ever since I started using Buddypress and integrated BbPress, Users can now use forum in “Groups” section. When a user creates a new group, A new subforum will appear. So that’s why I need to have a fallback Icon. I can’t manually sit and add numbers everytime there is a new subforum created.

I already have a script for not showing these subforums in my Forums list.

So another option than using a default topic icon would be to filter these topics (From the subforums) out from the Latest Discussions. But then I need a script in Latest Discussions to filter out all topics that come from a subforum. I never managed to do that.

I use this for the forumloop:

`<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>

<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : global $forum; if ($forum->forum_parent != 0) continue; ?>`

But I cant get something similar working with topics. And Im afraid that If i filter out this I will have trouble with the page counter too.

Somehow the best solution would be a Default fallback Topic Icon. Anyone have any idea how I can solve this?
