The only plugins that are running are:

Akismet 1.0

BBXF Export 0.1 alpha

and I’ve tried deactivating them both…

in the WordPress install the only plugins that I have related to the BBpress install are:

BBPress Integration 1.0-alpha-4.1

BBpress Latest Discussions 0.9

I don’t think the WordPress ones would have any effect on it?

[Justin Tadlock]

The biggest issue I’m having with this version and the latest version of the WP/BB Integration plugin is that the user roles aren’t being carried over to bbPress when a user registers in WordPress.

They always end up with no role set.

This is the error when editing the user’s profile when no role is set:

<select name="role">

<option value="keymaster"<br />

Aside from this, everything else has been working great for me.

@Ipstenu

@sambauers – Thanks! I had tried bblive, it never pulled correctly when integration wasn’t working… i’ll give both your ideas a shot with my test integration of 2.7 and alpha 4.

i am also using bbsync with my 2.5.1 to send posts to bbpress as topics… I want to do this and disable comments for easier moderation. I know it doesn’t work with 2.6 or 2.7. Anyone know of other ideas to send posts to bbpress as topics? Thanks!!

If you want to integrate the forum with wordpress latest version, you have two options; bbpress and simple-forum plugin.

If you need a stand-alone forum I’d go for phpbb3. It has everything that a forum should have.

[_ck_]

Most hosts will not admit and definitely not advertise NFS, it’s a downside, not a plus.

But you can tell if you have an account with them by studying df -a though the shell, php shell or perl cgi shell. Or if they hide/block all that you can write a script to time 1000 reads of filemtime (with clearstatcache) which cannot be cached by the OS and will have telltail lag.

Marketing-wise NFS is usually spun as “unlimited” or “expanding” storage space, like Dreamhost promises extra space each month.

I’m very curious to find out what the “resolution” was.

The latest page show shows 1.432 – 36 queries which is still poor.

[_ck_]

vannak, if you activated load options, something is still wrong because it’s using 36 queries on the front page. Are you using bbPress 1.0 or bbPress 0.9 ?

Make sure your bb-topic-views plugin is the latest version (1.6.3)

The old version before I took over used excessive queries.

If you are using an earlier 1.0 alpha version, it also had excessive queries (still does on the newest version in some places).

Before you run to hostmonster or other provider, make sure you do your homework and check those suggestions I gave you.

Oh one more tip for choosing a hosting provider – if they use the word “unlimited” in any of their advertising, find another provider.

hi chrishajer

I do use the ltest stable WP -2.7- in a sandbox modified theme and the 1.0.4 (the one from the .tar)of BBpress

thanks.

[John James Jacoby]

@lstelie:

If you wanted to, it is possible to write a “clear all cookies” plug-in/function that would just be a link that would delete the cookies for a user entirely. I can verify that as long as you’re using WP2.7 and BBP1.0a4, that integration works and works really well. I’ve fully tested it on two different platforms now and both times it’s worked without a hitch.

[Sam Bauers]

Topic renaming fixed in trunk.

We also now have a nightly builds system courtesy of Barry at Automattic. If there is a change during the day, then a new nightly will be created and made available here:

I am not sure if this version works on latest release, but give it a try.

[kashbah]

I have been looking everywhere, but couldn’t find anything related.

BBpress has a standart number of 30 “Latest Discussions” topics shown in the front page. There’s also a plugin that allow admins to set this number to whatever they wish.

But I would rather have a dynamic list only with new topics or topics with new replies since a user’s last login, listed in “latest discussions”. Currently I have the “new topics” plugin, but I feel its not quite what users want.

Any ideas how this could be done or where to start coding it?

[tomwi]

this is great! i had downgraded to 2.5.1 for integration.

i am using bb latest discussions to show latest bbpress posts in wordpress which I could not get to work with alpha 2. i want to move back to 2.7 and alpha 4…… does anyone know of a plugin that works in bbpress alpha wp 2.7 to pull latest bbpress posts to wordpress/wordpress sidebar?

[suzkaw]

@Umit Namli – I didn’t touch the rss feed file. So I am not sure what would be causing that. Can you try uploading an original rss2.php and see if that sorts it out? Or possibly reverting to the default theme and then testing again?

[the_Wish]

While testing bbPress 1.0 Alpha 4 I am not able to change the name of any topic —I do not know whether this is a known issue or not; the procedure just looks fine, though the title stays the same.

I’ve just tested this and it’s the same for me.

[chrishajer]

bbSync doesn’t work with the latest version of anything. What version bbPress did you install, and what version WordPress?

[suzkaw]

This theme has just been updated and you can get the latest version (v0.2) from here:

http://ericlbarnes.com/inove-for-bbpress/

Changes Include:

1. Moved view list to right side. (idea from _ck_)

2. Removed background image. Issue with Safari.

[reclaimyourskin]

Sorry guys, I thought my problem was resolved but it looks like i’ve spoke to soon.

The code _CK_ suggested below, worked wonders to add a new “on” class on my forum links:

<li<?php if ($current_forum_id=get_forum_id()) {echo " class='on'";} ?>>

Problem!

The trouble is that the unique “on” class is being displayed on every forum link, when I need it to only display when i’m viewing forum 2 for example. Basically, i need a unique css class and current forum marker so the user knows which forum they are currently viewing.

Below is the souce code for all of forum.php (if anyone has time to have a quick look i’d really appreciate it).

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

<h3><?php forum_name(); ?> Forum</h3>

<ul id=”forumnav”>

<li<?php if ($current_forum_id=get_forum_id()) {echo ” class=’on'”;} ?>>” title=”Latest homepage”><span>Latest<img src=”images/white-arrow.gif” style=”padding: 0 0 3px 5px” width=”10″ height=”5″ border=”0″ /></span>

<li<?php if ($current_forum_id=get_forum_id()) {echo ” class=’on'”;} ?>>forum/forum2″ title=”Forum 2″><span>Forum 2</span>

<li<?php if ($current_forum_id=get_forum_id()) {echo ” class=’on'”;} ?>>forum/forum3″ title=”Forum 3″><span>Forum 3</span>

Thanks again sambauers, _CK_ and other mods – you’re doing a great job.

[lorenzocoffee]

hi all, hi cookye/code Godness.

I’m a small useless human with many needs,

greatest one now it is NOT to have blog users sharing login,

but it’s only and ‘simply’ to ‘automatically’ import IN BBpress

Wp’s posted articles (even not the old ones)

Would this new beta help in that,given my WP config (2.7) has not

1 or more requested ash /salt/pepper/ things?

Your…faithfully

If working solution will come up

I’ll commit to start english class too.

[chrishajer]

Your users do not need to be admin to post in your forums. I created an account in the forums and was able to make a test post. Take a look at the permissions I have there. I did not create an account on the website, just the forums.

[Matias Ventura]

While testing bbPress 1.0 Alpha 4 I am not able to change the name of any topic —I do not know whether this is a known issue or not; the procedure just looks fine, though the title stays the same. If this extends beyond me I will go to track.

[Sam Bauers]

@iservers

Well, that’s different…

But I just realised you are using bbPress 0.9 – the bb_mail() function has been replaced in 1.0-alpha with one more like wp_mail() in WordPress.

It was replaced in part because people had problems sending from Windows environments. You have probably just pinpointed the cause of that. Just a few months too late unfortunately!

For now I would just hack the core of 0.9 if I were you – it is unlikely to see any more updates. The replacement function in 1.0 should take care of this, although I would appreciate it if you could test 1.0-alpha for the same problem if you have some time.

[Sam Bauers]

Well, basically I’m not sure how much more time it’s going to take to get things right for the final 1.0 release.

I could set a date, but then if it wasn’t met there’d be a whole new set of expectations and complaints to manage.

bbPress 1.0 will be released after the “1.0-rc” (release candidate) versions, which will come after the “1.0-beta” versions which will come after the current “1.0-alpha” versions.

Basically there is still very new or experimental stuff in the 1.0-alpha releases. Once that newer functionality is tied down we’ll be able to move to 1.0-beta which should only contain cosmetic changes and optimisations. Then once those are complete we’ll move to 1.0-rc, during which we will generally only do bug fixes. Once the bugs are ironed out, we’ll go to a final 1.0 release. Hopefully the minor point releases can be kept to a minimum after that.

How long is that piece of string? Maybe one maybe two months. It actually depends on people testing more than anyone coding, although if we can get more people contributing patches to core it would be great too.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

They’re no where near the point where they want to pimp a finalized product. Personally, I’ve seen far too many projects like this fail because they promoted themselves before they were ready. Right now, even though there is a stable version, the whole site is pretty much a big public test. There’s too much going on to be able to guess a date, and based on the past, if you held a gun to my head, I’d make things up. Which is what developers do when our bosses want to know how long it will take to build the next toy for our companies. We don’t know, sometimes. Creativity (and yes, coding is just that) is hard to measure.

So. It’ll be done when it’s done. Not by years end. Hopefully us posters can help hammer out the big issues to get them to a live 1.0 version sooner, but it’ll take time

[John James Jacoby]

It seems like 1.0 has really come along nicely the past month or so, with many frequent bug fixes and trac updates.

I know I’m new to the bbPress game, but I really do hope and plan to stick around as a beta tester and plug-in developer once I’m totally comfortable with what I figure out from poking around.

[ganzua]

Hi!

I’m giving a try to a deep integration. I want to load bbpress in my wordpress theme so I have a modified bbpress kamukei where I load wp header, sidebar and footer.

I installed bbpress 1.04a, I activated the new plugin, edited wp-config.php as plugin required, I founded that all this still didn’t load wp header and I modified bbpress bb-config.php with;

define('WP_BB', true);

if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {

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

}

Now, it seems everything works ok; bbpress loads wp-header, I have access to bbpress control panel, both, admin and users can post, I can log out… I’m going to keep my beta-testing and I’ll further report but I think Sam did it so CONGRATULATIONS.

I’m not sure that I’ll want to load bbpress functions into wordpress so far because what I need is all the contrary; to load wordpress into bbpress so I can have a very simple and integrated forum. However, having the bbpress control panel integrated into the wordpress panel would be great.

The idea of bbpress as a plugin is very nice but Sam is totally right when he stated that we have a stronger foundation as a stand alone. Perhaps that little plugin as a “bridge” is the way to go.
